Gaga over Daisies

What is the most creative "thing" you have done with makeup? Last night I attempted a spider stuck in the window, but it wasn't anything really creative, but it does sound strange doesn't it? Spider stuck, no, entangled, in a window.  Although it wasn't great, my camera's flash is not working and I was unable to capture it.

Have you seen this video with the Lady Gaga inspired makeup? All the black theatrical paint seems so thick, how'd they actually take it off after the tutorial?  I love the idea of using the mask as a template to dab on glitter and loose eyeshadow powder, so creative.  This video is very popular on YouTube and I can imagine why. I was really into the makeup artist's hair, I don't think I can ever pull anything like that off.   It seems odd that since this is a makeup tutorial done by a professional makeup artist, the model  really does have beautiful features, but her acne was very appearant, too much shiny makeup,  but those flaws were not comparable to the beautiful mask in the end.



I am very into "calligraphy," more like "cursive" writing styles. When I was in college, I even bought the calligraphy set from ebay, but I never really used it, nor learned how.  I have been thinking, well, what if I started Beyou's very own "wire names" accessories, I cannot specifically identify the uses for them yet, but I will.  I want to be able to combine my love for "cursive/calligraphy" writing and crafts with wire. I have seen some wired names made from gold, sterling silver, and wire, but most of them seem very thick, I  would like mine to be thinner.  The ones I have started making don't even look wearable, but there's something about them I personally like.  All I have to do now is to find a use for them.  I would like to name the collection or series "Thu Hang On," or "Hang in There Daisies" but does it seem too self center with my middle and first name in the first one and my first name in the second?  * selfish smile* Actually, I like "Hang in there Weeds" more, the plant/grass "weeds," because they are resilient and strong and that's what I want this collection to represent. Resilient. However, they are pesky to pull  from the ground and imagine googling up the name, it may give negative connotations I may not want to associate with.


A very good friend of mine is getting married in August and I will be dedicating a wedding post, well, scans of wedding dresses very soon. I get so excited whenever a friend is about to be wed, it's a huge milestone in an individual's life, yet, it can become such a hassle. Congratulations Kim & Connor!

Disneyland/Disneyworld.
I have never gone.  Next year, 2011, I will take my mom and that is one of my to dos. Giving a deadline really helps me to work faster and harder.

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner   in  Blackest Black  is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such.  Would I repurchase this product again?  Yes, I really want to   eggplant .  In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading).  I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time.    I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had ...

I'm grateful for work =)

The weather has been sooo cold here in Northern California, much colder than last year =(  I don't think I can ever imagine myself living anywhere but the warm states, unless its New York and there's no need to drive with the subway/cabs. Ay, with the 30 for 30 challenge, I have been so uncreative, but now that I'm starting to work, I'll be more out of the box of my typical self and practice wearing different makeup at the same time.  I'm so grateful because I finally found a part time job and after the first day of work (yesterday), I was so tired and end up sick. From now on, I will make sure to keep myself warm and wear tons of layers of clothing because it is so easy to get sick in this type of weather. One of most dislike situations is being sick- it just makes you feel helpless and weak. I'm gong to make sure I work extra hard and always do my best because I'm so grateful to have found it. How do people work full time, go to school, and still raise...

First Goodbye

  This specific day I said goodbye to something, the first of its kind in my life.It is difficult to let go when something has become part of your life and you will not be the same after it is gone.  I will do my best to focus on other things in my life and getting things done.  I don't regret it though, I'm grateful because we are not rocks nor stones that are untouchable and life brings us events and people to change our lives. Thank you for everything you have given me I now have a thing for rings and earrings, long earrings. The one above is my favorite (Charlotte Russe), it reminds me of mango leaves for some reason and  that leads to the book The House on Mango Street that I will read by the end of this year. Have you ever been in an experience where you never want to be in ever again? I never want to be so cold again, therefore, I always wear a small camsole (is that right?) inside all of my shirts.  I think i'm kind of into lacey clothing items. ...
