No blue, smokey black eyes instead

I would love to try green contacts in the future











For this look, I used Revlon Colorstay Foundation and I didn't like it. I didn't like it when I used it before and I had thought, I can try it again.  The coverage is relatively in the medium range, but it just appears a bit thick and cakey not a nice of a texture.  Maybe makeup artists love this foundation, but maybe it is me, not applying it correctly.





I did this about a week ago, I'm not sure if I applied moisturizer and primer or not- maybe that's why. Or maybe because of the color I chose, it's too dark for my skin tone? The "Stippling brush" I had used isn't a real stippling brush and it took a while to stipple, so I just applied this w/a normal foundation brush.

 I always wished for world peace as a younger kid.

I was trying on some fake individual lashes, they look a bit scary?
Always try to apply makeup in natural light because indoor lights play tricks on you and your makeup may look for better or worse in real life =(


In terms of eyeshadow, I just used various colors I had from my palettes.The model's beautiful green eyes really helps to bring more focus toward her eyes, but it's a bit more difficult for brown eyes to have that same effect. The actual picture's shadow contains more blue and darker lips- I couldn't find any dark lip colors at the time and the blue eyeshadow I had was off running somewhere. Practice, I will keep on practicing.


I just recently purchased Loreal's True Match Foundation and some wedge sponge because this drug store foundation is suppose to be great! I remember during college, my friend Tara had helped me with my makeup before going out and she used this. I love the way it looked on her skin, it appeared as if she had nothing on at all.

Don't forget to pick up your make up gifts and palettes at my shop =) teehee

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 ...

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. ...

Create a relationship that encourages openness

Is it easier to be consumed in the life I want to live and and not pay attention to the life I have, especially to those who are most close to me. The balance between the external and internal worlds we balance and manage on a daily basis can overshadow how life moves swiftly and quickly through the lives of our loved ones. If I could go back a few years ago or 10 years ago, I would wish I'd take more time to be myself and to build a relationship of openness and encouragement. It's crazy how we can share our deepest fears and our entire worlds with friends, yet, within our own family, we are so afraid to share those secrets. Share your secrets and fears with your family, regardless of the situation, they will be there for you.
