Sally Hansen - Salon Effects

YAY! I found my camera so I'm back up and running :D. Well, actually, my brother found it wedged in our sofa cushions! :P I'm just glad I can start taking pictures again. I take back all the bad things I said about you! lol Anyway, I just bought the new Sally Hansen Salon Effects. They're quite similar to the Art Club Glam nails stickers but, in my opinion are WAY better! Just wanted to share some quick pics with you all so, enjoy!

 

O where o where could you BE?

*sighs* I haven't been updating my blog lately because I LOST MY CRAPPY CAMERA! My dinky point and shoot is gone! I seriously have no idea where it went and I have searched high & low looking for that 2 inch piece of $&%#. (kidding). But, for real, I'm going crazy because I haven't been doing any looks, therefore I haven't been taking any photos to update my blog! It just really sucks :(

So, this quick blog is just to let you guys know...and, if anyone wants to offer to buy me a new one, I'll be more than happy to accept! :D hehe

On another note, I've posted below a look I did about over a month ago with the new Wet N' Wild Icon Eyeshadow palette in Vanity (249). It's just a simple, everyday, neutral gold look.

I feel like I should be updating in SOME way so, I hope you guys enjoy it!

Pulled back curly updo

Hi guys!! So here is another updo I did on my sister (again). We have a party to go to in a few weeks and she wanted me to give her a pulled back updo kind of Selena Gomez inspired. I have a picture below that you can check out. My sister is completely obsessed with Selena and even bought the exact same dress in the picture below!!! lol Anywhoo, let me know if you like the updo!

PS - Please don't mind my sister blowing her nose in the pictures! (How unattractive)! LOL

 

FOTD: Simple and subtle

I was looking through my MAC shadows the other day (which btw I really do not have a lot of...I can't afford it! lol), and I was trying to see what colors I could combine to create a different look that I haven't really worn before. So the colors I chose for this look were Surreal, Club, Knight Divine, Vanilla and a bit of Carbon. I wanted this to be a very subtle and wearble look that you could wear on an everyday basis. Sorry, I couldn't get any really good pictures of the look so I apologize in advance!

• Surreal on the main lid
• Club on the crease and blended upwards/on the bottom lash line as well
• Knight Divine in the outter "v" blended inwards and up into Club
• Carbon the crease area for definition
• Vanilla on the brow bone
• LA Girls lipstick in Flirt
• MAC's ?Lustreglass in 2N (that might be wrong) lol

Kim Kardashian inspired smokey eye w/ ELF shadows

Everyone always does the smokey eye look (tutorials, different smokey eyed colors, etc), so I thought I would update my personal smokey eye! I decided to do a Kim Kardashian inspired look and, although I know I look NOTHING like Kim, I think everyone can pull off this look and try out their own smokey eye to what they think suits them the best.

For this look, I used ELF shadows to achieve this look and I wanted to just prove that you don't have to use high-end brands to get this sultry, Kim.K, red carpet look. Also, if you're wondering where I got the ELF palette, I bought it from Winners for about $8 CDN. For you Americans, I think you can buy ELF products at Target?? (correct me if I'm wrong)!

The shadows used are:

#1 on main lid
#2 in crease area and fading up as blending color
#3 on the outter v and crease color to darken up/smoke out the look
#4 on brown bone

#2 and 3 were also used on the lower lash line to really enhance  and achieve this smokey eye look

You can also used whatever liner, mascara, lashes, lipstick, gloss etc to get this look. It's really up to you guys! Good luck ladies!

PS (please disregard the messy hair!) lol :D

Hair updo - Weddings, parties or special occasions

Other than make-up, I've been trying to get into doing some hair updos as well. I have a friend who is absolutely AMAZING at doing hair EVERYTHING! She has the most gorgeous updos and get this....she didn't even go to school for it!!! I know! If you wanna check out her stuff, she's got a Youtube Channel called "cheveuxn0ir". (the "o" in noir being a zero, btw) She's seriously talented and completely inspires me with her beautiful updos. Anywhoo, I forced my little sister to sit in my makeup chair today so I could do her hair. I've been practicing for the heck of it because I find it soo darn fun! I'm pretty new to this and so please bare with me as I "attempt" to do future updos! Let me know what you guys think!?

PS,

The flower is optional! =D

FOTD: Color crazed!

I know what you guys are probably thinking...WTHECKERS? I know! lol This look really just came off the top of my head one night as I was about to fall asleep. I figured, why not? Let's try it and see how the look turns out! ummm I wouldn't say it's my favorite but it's definitely something different from your everyday wear. But, whatevs! It is what it is...and frankly, I can't even think of a name for it! All I know is that when I envisioned this look, I just wanted lots-o color!!
