First of all, I bought this moisturizer at Sally's on Wednesday, and I love it. My skin feels nice and smooth, and it absorbs quickly. I also bought the Neutrogena Wave yesterday, but I'll have to use it for a few days before I make a final decision on that one.
Today's outfit(when my jacket wasn't on that is). I'm not really crazy about Coach, but this bag is nearly two years old and has not lost any of it's shine. Even though it's just a plain patent leather tote, I love it because of the color. For some reason one of these shoes feels loose and the other one feels fine.
I also bought the L'oreal Extra Intense Liquid Pencil Liner, and so far so good. I bought it in Gray, but it's super pigmented so it's practically a soft black. It glides on very smoothly. I think I'll buy the black and brown ones eventually.
My new video today...I used the Kat Von D Beethoven palette for the first time in quite a while. I forgot how much I love those shadows. They're so smooth and easy to apply.
I just made a twitter, twitter.com/tiffanybasanta. Followers are very much appreciated :). I wanted to make it Bighairbiggerlashes, but of course that's a bit too long.
I made a hair curling tutorial that I'm going to upload as soon as the bf is off the damn xbox live. I also did a quick updo from an old tutorial since I've had some requests for that one too. Updo: Yesterday's outfit...the belt(I know you can't really see it that well) is my mom's from before I was born. Yesterday's look which I made a video for-
Nothing drastic, but I had a box of reddish brown and a box of light golden brown so I mixed them together. I know it'll fade soon, but I plan on doing dying it the same color in a couple weeks to intensify it a bit more.
So my outfits of the day...
Yeah right, I wish. It's sofa king cold and snowy...it's not the time for vagina length dresses. Just played dress up because I'm cooped up in the house.
This is a pencil skirt hiked up into a slutty ho dress. I love gigantic flowers in the hair that look like they're about to devour my face.
My actual frumpy outfit for the few moments I spent outside...bleh. I have to wear long coats in this weather...my ass is sensitive to the cold. I was planning on playing in the snow with my bf and brother(oh my,that sounds so childish now that I think about it), but I changed my mind as soon as I felt the wind.
Since I had plenty of time on my hands I made a video...again. Here's the look I did-
...for a very short time anyway. I don't usually take comfort or being practical into consideration when I get dressed, but today the combination of wind, slick sidewalks, and freezing rain won the battle- just this once. No open toed platform heels today.
I really feel like I need to get back to the self tanner...guess I just wasn't meant to be able to pull of a wintery complexion. I think I've been influenced by all kinds of beauty magazines and sites saying that tanning in the winter is sooo tacky and wrong and you're so eww if you do it...but some 'rules' need to broken.
I was going back and forth between belt or no belt. My final decision was no belt, not that it mattered in the end. Bf and brother had more important things to do today other than take my picture.
I did a tutorial inspired by Katy Perry in the 'If We Ever Meet Again' music video(I keep having to look the song up, I keep forgetting the title). For me reddish lip colors are strictly for tutorials inspired by someone wearing reddish lips or just playing around. Reddish lippies usually make me self conscious and feel like I look years older than I am. Sheer reddish balms are a different story; I usually like those(ex. Bonne Bell Dr. Pepper Lip Smackers :D).

I've never been too crazy about gray eyeshadow, but all of a sudden I've developed a fondness for it.
Thankfully the camera I'm using does not overdo the flash like my other one. I made a video for this...got a little lamp happy. It's a bit overlit. I'll remember not to do that next time.
Stuff I'm using... Physician's Formula mineral tinted moisturizer Hard Candy blush in Pinup

NYX Round lipstick in Christie Smashbox gloss in Pout ----------------------------------------------- A lot of people I know stick to one perfume. While I like the idea of having a "signature" scent that people will remember me by, I don't think I'd ever actually be able to stick to just one fragrance. I want to try something new...what's the sexiest perfume you've found? I need some ideas. I don't prefer a particular type over another...I like different things depending on my mood or the weather. Here are a few of of mine...
My go to safe, non-offensive scent for when I'm going to be really close to a large number of people. It's a fruity floral, and it's on the light side. Gucci Eau de Parfum II
This one's for cold weather. I find it cozy :). It's also a great boyfriend repellent. I always get compliments from strangers with this one, but he hates it. Douchebag. I don't touch it when it's warm out though; it just doesn't have the same effect...strictly for fall and winter. Dior Hypnotic Poison
I've had this one for several years. It's a cold evening fragrance for when I want to convince myself that I'm sexy. This one is also a summer no no for me. Givenchy Hot Couture...I lost the lid.
You know how some fragrances remind you of some old moment in your life? I got a sample bottle of this when I was 14 and absolutely loved it. I used up the little bottle, but never actually bought a full sized one until recently. It doesn't remind me of any event in particular, just that time period...my long lost youth, sigh :(. I don't actually wear it now; I use it as room spray. Mat by Masaki Matsushima
I'm in the mood to expand my fragrance horizons so I'd love recommendations :).
It's definitely not an intricate/complicated look, but it is the first time I've worn non-neutral eyeshadow in quite some time. My sister insisted on being included in the picture taking. She said she had to make my hair pretty for the pictures.
I'm wearing Hard Candy Bronzer in Tiki Mac Sunbasque blush
Urban Decay e/s in Ransom(lid), Zero (outer v and lower lashline),and Fishnet(above crease and over Zero on lower lashline) Mac Dazzlelight(highlight) Maybelline liquid liner on upper lashline CG Lashblast Volume mascara
