Hola

The Winter Olympics always have this powerful hold over me. For those seventeen days my shopping trips are quicker(or non existent), my consumption of junk food increases, and my ass(which might turn into a mound of cottage cheese if the Olympics were any longer) is glued to the couch.

Anyone wanna be my doubles luge partner? Don't act like you don't see people doing this everywhere you go.


Anyways, I got these rings at the Icing for $2 a piece. Super cheap jewelry is my favorite...wear it once and you've got your money's worth + no guilt if you lose or break it. Not that I ever lose or break my cheap jewelry. The expensive pieces always have that privelage.

Today's makeup



I kinda wanna go a little darker with my hair because I like how the color looks in this photo. Sometimes this camera makes my hair color look a little darker than it is. I'm never satisfied with my hair color though. If I darken it I'll probably think that it looks like crap, then I'll re-lighten it, and decide that it once again looks like crap.

New video...make sure you turn your speakers down if you plan on watching. My camera is LOUD...and annoying.

OOTD and Hair

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-

Vampire

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

NYC Mahogany l/s
Mac Squeeze It lipglass

Angelina inspired cat-eye+ My bf doesn't think Megan Fox is hot?

He's not the "she's not pretty at all, you're much more beautiful" type. We don't bullshit each other...I mean, after 6 years flattering/boosting each others egos is no longer necessary :D. He insists that Megan Fox is not hot...he usually agrees with the ones everybody seems to find attractive(Jessica Alba and Kim K.). Freakin weirdo :P.
------------------------------------------------------
I had a request for an Angelina inspired cat-eye look...I didn't know if I should do the subtle or more dramatic version since I've seen her wear both. I chose a more dramatic one this time, and I'll do a more subtle one soon.

Instead of looking sexy, the serious face just makes me look mean and constipated. I promise I'm neither mean nor constipated.



Video...It seems loud enough on Movie Maker, then seems quieter once I upload it?

----------------------------------------------
Another part of my shoe collection...here's the all white ones. I left out a pair of flats, wedges, and another pair of heels because they've been misplaced somewhere in my large mess.

Fiddle Dee Dee

Nothing much to post today, but earlier I made a video for how I curled my hair in my post yesterday. It looks different in this video because I fiddled with it more than yesterday when I pretty much just took the clips out and left my hair alone. I left my ends out of the iron.

Bronze with Smudgey Liner

I did a video for this look on my youtube even though this isn't really that nice/intricate(I have my video bar on the side over that way---> too in case you haven't noticed it before). The hair's a crunchy mess...I used way too much hairspray because it rained earlier and it's quite humid now. Obviously I don't use hairspray that often since it looks like I'd ignite if I come within 3 feet of someone smoking a cigarette.



NYC loose mineral finishing powder
Mac Sunbasque blush

L'oreal de-crease
88 palette (2 bronzes, dark brown, black)
Mac Vanilla pigment
Revlon Colorstay liner
Red Cherry #523 lashes-I really like these...it's my first time using this style

Mac Way to Love l/s
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
My bf thinks I'm ashamed of him since I never talk about him or post pics of him(even though he knows this is a makeup blog and I don't really include personal/daily life stuff here). So this half of my post is for you dear Luke...I'm not that ashamed of you.
Luke likes Clamato beer(eww), annoying music, not wearing a shirt, getting enough sun to maintain a good tan, and sleeping. The poor guy has been putting up with me since January of 2004 when I was an evil 16 year old brat.
I'm in my scummy house clothes because I'll be home for the rest of the day.
