Boa's "Game" makeup for a night out!

I'm not sure if you are aware of Boa, but she is quiet an amazing artist and an incredible dancer. Her makeup in this music video "Game" is gorgeous! It's a cut crease, but more with blacks and sparkling glitters! Here's a screenshot of her eyes ( it looks better in the video)  I've attempted creating the same look (well practice it) and it's not as comparable because I forgot all the details once I started because I didn't have a reference picture with me nor the right shade of black.

Burberry CEO inspirational article

"she's all talent and no pretension." You have to see it to believe it is my personal take on dreamers achieving their dreams.   I'd like to share an article linked by a friend from wherelse but Facebook regarding the Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts and how she balances work and life "Earning Her Stripes". As young women, despite your career goals, I believe it's really important to learn from others who have gone before us. Of course reading it, I didn't understand everything because I've never been a part of high fashion nor work with such luxurious brands, but it's a good read (6 pages I believe)! Even if we read about a woman who achieves amazing success and has done incredibly things but we do not know of her company or brand, it doesn't motivate or inspire us as much. However, since this is vice versa ( I think a lot of people know of Burberry), it impacts us more and we think to ourselves, "hey, I can do that!" She gr...

Perfect wing eyeliner video

"Pretty is something you're born with. But beautiful, that's an equal opportunity adjective." Having a wing eyeliner is really hot. This is one of my favorite, she explains where the line stops and where it should be thicker or thinner, and how to get the perfect wing by lining the line with your lower lash line. Canon really does make really good cameras! I love the colors on this rose, looks so real (even if it's real!) I like these Calla Lillies on the side of my house. Reminds me of a roommate in college who loves them. The sunset. From now on, I'll be able to see the sunrise coming home from work, it's a blessing to be working. Giant (bulldozer/machinery, hook of some sort) in the process of finishing our freeway. It's pretty crayzy how fast they've been progressing with the new lanes entering/exiting this freeway, I don't even remember what it used to look like. 
Editor's Favorite & Best Sellers = Samples! Each is $2.01 (shipping/handling) included! Peeling Pack Gel (Peeling pack for your face,similar to Bio're Pore strips, but better because they will get rid of black & white heads, dirt, oil, and dead skin on the surface). They can be apply to anywhere on the face. Smooth Seaweed Pack- At home facial mask. It not smells incredibly good, but after applying to your skin for 10-15 minutes, your skin feels incredibly soft and it minimizes pores! Peeling Day- Water in Pomegranate Facial Scrub. This stuff is wonderful! You see results instantly. Apply a small amount on your face, nose, chin, wherever, and soft scrub, you will see results INSTANTANEOUSLY! I don't think there is a product in the drug stores that is similar like this. Must try!
I was in an office, waiting for the front desk associate to come back to the office so that I can hand her my resume and cover letter- instead of sending them through email or fax, I thought that by showing up will help me to stand out among other candidates. Well, I guess that's one thing that an applicant can do to help him/herself, by showing initiative (unless the company specifically states "please do not call or show up at the office soliciting [ I'm joking about the soliciting part]) "Judge your success By what you had to give up in order to get it. - Dalai Lama  Things, people, and memories pop up every now and then to remind us not to worry about the little things.  Success is much more worth it when you work really hard for it, even if it may come slowly, almost like a turtle.  I guess that is why I tend to have a great amount of respect and admiration for those who have achieve certain levels of success (although this may be bias because we don't...
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to help do "makeup" for one of my good friend, a pageant winner for another pageant she was attending =) When she had asked me, I couldn't help but laugh really hard (ironic isn't it?)and told her that I wasn't good enough yet to do makeup for anyone, but myself. Well, I think I can do decently with foundation, blush, a bit of contour, some eyebrow grooming, but the eyes, the eye shadows are so difficult! Hence, I was not confident at all, but in the end, with the help of a friend, a fellow lover of makeup and beauty, and after a long time, my friend looks pretty good! =) Moral of the story: My eyeshadow skills are horrible, it's 1 thing to be able to do it on myself, my eye shapes, but it's another to do the same thing to another individual. I will practice, practice, blend, blend, and not apply so much color at once! I recently discovered Bloglovin through Nancy's blog and I really like it! Before, I used ...
