I went to the mall in search of sequined leggings...no luck =(. Instead I bought a couple sequined tops. Top/dress from Forever21 Top from Charlotte Russe Two other tops from Charlotte Russe Blazer w/ satin collar from Forever21 Blazer w/ bow pockets from Forever21 Forever21 earrings I bought a Hard Candy bronzer, a baked eyeshadow duo, Rimmel lipstick in Crush, and a couple Revlon Illuminance cream shadows to use as base. I also bought a pair of booties from Forever21 that I forgot to photograph, but they're at 6:25 of this video I made today.
I want a light pink lipstick with more of a peach undertone instead of a cool/purple-ish tone to it. The only peachy pink lipsticks I have are bright instead of light/subtle. Any brand will do :).
I had a request to do a Cheryl Cole inspired look...I wasn't familiar with her so I had to google pics. Damn, is her hair freakin big. I know nothing about her but her hair makes me love her :D.
I didn't get any good pictures because I forgot to put new batteries in my camera :(. Anyways, it was a halloween/my best friend's 23rd birthday party. I didn't get any good makeup pics, but it wasn't that great anyway since my brother is an asswipe and would not stop rushing me the entire time I tried to get ready.
By the end of the night my white costume was filthy. I spilled Jager mixed with fruit punch all over myself and fell in a giant muddy hole in the front yard. I wish I was able to take pics of my filthy self lol.
I'm always enthusiastic about the alcohol at the beginning of the night. At the end I get as far away from it as possible because I don't even want to smell it. Hey kind folks at Jagermeister, need a 22 yr. old filipina model? 5'8", size 3, what I lack in boobage and supersexiness I make up for in uh friendliness and love for Jager?
My brother was my best friend graduating high school. He originally had on a dress, but wanted to wear her graduation robe. He always has these odd haircuts...his hairline in front is shaved back a couple inches. He had a mullet early in the summer and he also had a circle shaved into his head before so it would look like he was going bald. He left early to hang out with his friends who are actually his age, so guess who was the lone jackass in costume? Oh well.
It didn't take long for the falsies I'm wearing on the bottom lashline to get ANNOYING. Douche who didn't dress up with his girlfriend
I did this requested vampire look today. The eyes would look so much better if I had some sort of color contacts :(...the dark makeup doesn't contrast with my eyes since they're so dark too. The blush/contour needs blended out a lot more, but I was afraid the video would go over the time limit so I slopped it on and didn't blend very much.
I used: NYC Pressed Powder in Translucent Ulta Flirty e/s as blush
Coastal Scents 88 palette-Dark red, dark purple, white Mac Carbon e/s L'oreal hip black liner and l'oreal telescopic liquid liner Red Cherry lashes
I saw these L.A Colors metallic eyeshadow palettes at a Dollar General store for $1.50 a piece so I figured why not. I was pleasantly surprised because I actually like these a lot. The lightest shade in both palettes are chalky, but it's no big deal since I have more than enough highlight shadows already. The texture is sort of powdery, but at this price I wasn't exactly expecting a set of Mac Veluxe Pearls. They're quite pigmented, and they have a slight sheen. Two thumbs up from me. Top 'Tease' and bottom 'Wine & Roses'
New tutorial that is once again not very loud. My bf and mom both tell me I talk too loud on a regular basis, so my camera obviously hates my voice and picks it up as little as possible. I just need to learn to talk even louder :D.

Here's a video about the Hard Candy items I bought the other day. I love the eyeshadow duo, but the eyeshadow quint is not as good. I think the Living Doll blush is my favorite out the the 3 that I have now. I found the dress I'm wearing in the video for $6...it's nothing really special but I couldn't resist the extreme cheapness.
Lol, I look like I'm about to kiss you in the video's thumbnail image.
First of all thank you for your well wishes...I feel a little better so there's just a teeny bit of sickness lingering(shopping must have helped). I always get sick when the weather first turns really cold.
I bought a little more Hard Candy stuff...I'll upload my haul and review shortly. My brother needs his online poker fix.
I made a video today. I switched my light bulbs to ones that aren't as yellow/orange. Still not as clear as they are when I use natural light, but it's been so gloomy lately that I can't rely on the sun being out when I want to make videos.

I just cut them below nose length so that they're still long enough to pull back, and they'll grow out quickly if I decide I hate them. I thought this would cure my boredom with my appearance, but sadly it didn't. I don't think my sister's made an appearance on this blog for a while. My brother was so offended yesterday because someone asked about my "older brother". I let the person know that he's 15 and I'm 22 and she gave me this look of disbelief. He was pissed, but I thought it was hilarious considering I think he looks like an overgrown 9 year old.
I got the inspiration from Madhuri Dixit's eyeshadow in this song...Maar Dala from Devdas. You can get a good view of her eyeshadow at about 8 seconds in...looks to me like a gold lid with reddish/maroon crease. I know Bollywood movies feature all sorts of makeup styles (just like any other film industry), but since the inspiration came from a Bollywood film I included it in the title.
Just going to the movies tonight...seeing Love Aaj Kal. Bollywood movies never play in my area and all these years I've had to wait and buy them on DVD so I'm not missing this opportunity to see one on the big screen.
I've posted outfits with the jacket, leggings, and shoes before but oh well. The shorts and shirt are several years old. I really wish these leggings had seams down the back instead of the side.
Got my bumpit in of course :D
makeup boots tinted moisturizer NYC Powder Mac Sunbasque blush
My face routine changes every now and then...most of the time I just use powder but this routine gives me the best result. I forgot to mention that I sometimes pat a little extra brightening balm under my eyes. I have more of a problem with puffiness rather than dark circles so I use that in place of concealer.
And sparkly nails...just black polish with Pure Ice's Spit Fire over it.
Obviously I don't do many review/haul posts, but I really was impressed with the Hard Candy stuff I picked up from Walmart. The lipsticks are fantastic...so pigmented, but smooth and creamy too. The blushes are also very nice. Here's my review video.
Now onto my new love...I was skeptical about the bumpit because I never fall for 'as seen on tv' stuff. Except for the Snuggie; I have these sexy things in every color(kidding).
Obviously I love big hair, but I'm too lazy to tease little sections of my hair all the time. Thanks to this wonderful bit of hard plastic I can have quick and easy big hair every day(yes I plan on wearing this every single day :D). I used the medium one today...this morning I had it a little far back so the bump isn't that tall from the front. Plus a look at my under 5 minute face--powder, liner, mascara, tinted lip balm Later on I put it more towards the front so it would look taller. My makeup is different because I made a tutorial, but didn't upload it because I need to redo it. The video was too dark. Please excuse the bra straps...I'm a sloppy dresser if I'm lounging around the house side view I bought it at Target for $10 btw.
Hard Candy stuff Blushes in Honeymoon and Pinup Honeymoon and Pinup blushes, lipsticks in Fire Alarm and Mannequin, gloss in Girl Next Door
I made this tutorial by the window just like I've been doing lately, except today it's super sunny. Being a dumbass and all I set my cream shadow palette right at the window after I used it...there's a glance of the lovely results in the video. I guess it's gonna be a pan for pressing pigments now :(.

My sister learned how to use the camera so she took pics of me when I was uploading the video. You can see her finger in the way...she kept telling me to say cheese :D
