step by step tutorial my everyday look

2010-01-20T00:03:00.001-08:00

I'm tired of looking scrubby this quarter i have class at 7 30in the morning so i need to get up really early so i barely do my makeup.

usually i just roll out of bed go to class
come back nap go to class again
homework and
that my day

there are days where i do my makeup and this is usually what i do something that doesn't take too much time but still look good

i can usually do this look within half an hour which is my makeup plus my hair

since i wasn't looking scrubby i decided to be a camera whore and take pictures

this is the final look
it makes me look awake and well put together but it's not too much for class

Time to start: this is how i look like with no makeup on

the first thing i do is put on my moisturizer
Clinuque's moisture surge ( i love this stuff it's my third bottle already)

next i do my eye makeup while the moisturizer is drying
today i decided to use a darker e/s i usually use a skin tone color or i won't use an e/s at all

eyes:
1. two face shadow insurance
2. mac e/s in smoke and diamonds (a toupe greyish color)
3. styli style e/i in black for the waterline and tightlining (love this stuff too it's the only e/l i use now)
4. revlon colorstay liquid e/l (i'm trying to find a water proof liquid e/l anyone have a suggestions)

5. mac shadestick in shimersand in the inner corner of my eye
6. lancome cils design mascara

after i'm done with my eye makeup my moisturizer would of been absorbed so now it's time for the face:
1. mac mineralize skinfinish in medium

2. nars blush in orgasm
3. nars laguna bronzer in laguna to contour my face

after i'm done with my makeup i sometimes do my hair depending on how bad my hair looks
the first think i do is spay on a heat protection

1. chi 44 iron guard thermal protection spray
then i straighten my hair with my sedu flat iron

this is how the it all looks like when i'm done

with natural lighting

meet peckle i sleep with him every night
he's the perfect size for me to cuddle with and fall asleep to

Good night everyone i'm gonna go back to writing my essay now
hope i was able help someone out
thanks you for reading my blog =]

review and swatches: urban decap book of shadows 2

2009-11-15T22:36:00.001-08:00

Today i'm going to do a review on the urban decay book of eyeshadow 2
16 eyeshadows
2 24/7 liners
a mini primar potion
$48

first of all i think this is $50 well spent i love urban decay e/s their so pigmented and easy to use no fuss at all

Pros:
1. a good deal 19 items for $48 = to 2.50 an item
2. the different combination's possible
3.fairly neutral colors with a few brighter colors
4. colors are true to the pan

Cons:
1. some of the eyeshadows have big chunky glitter in them and it falls allover my face

swatches (with flash)
these are all one switch without a base

without flash

all in all i think this was a good but and i don't think i will ever need anymore brown e/s but who can say no to such a deal

my simple method to bigger browner eyes

2009-10-02T01:11:00.001-07:00

this is what i i do when i feel like making my eyes stand out more without doing too much work

it' really easy to do and it will literally take 5-10 mins max

the key to this look is to try to round out the eyes for the illusion of bigger eyes sometime black might be too harsh and at times i feel like it makes my eyes smaller so i use purple when i want bigger eyes (purple naturally enhances the color of brown eyes so it's like killing 2 birds with one stone)

1. use a purple eyeliner to line your eyes
follow the shape of your natural eye shape and remember to thicken the outer half of the liner
connect the top and bottom of the liner at the corner of the eye

2. get a matching purple eyeshadow to smudge out the line
this will create a more natural look and this will also set the liner we just applied

3. mascara time
this is the important part because mascara can open up our eyes and make it seem bigger then what it really is
first apply a lengthening mascara to your lashes
optional u can use a volumizing mascara on top of that
avoid spider lashes that is unattractive and nobody wants that

all done
see 3 -4 steps to bigger and browner eyes

don't be intimidated to wear color it really does add a pop to the eyes experiment when u have time don't waste all of the colorful makeup u have sitting around

What i used:
1: urban decay: 24/7 liner in lust (not my favorite it does smudge on me and it's supposed to be water proof and sweat proof IT LIED TO ME haha)
2. urban decay e/s in ransom
3. rimmel london: sexy curves (i love this mascara hands down it separates my lashes and volumizes it at the same time)
4. doir: Diorshow iconic mascara (this is also another love it's water proof and one coat does the job it's just too expensive)

(i have no idea y my hair is so brown now it used to be black i'm probably getting to much sun)

update + my lust for the holidays

2009-09-13T16:42:00.000-07:00

last week i went to watch the movie "9" and it was pretty interesting i waited 3 hours for my boyfriend to get off work i had nothing to do so i was a camera whore
yes i was very bored and here's the look i wore i don't remember what i used though

i am so lusting after "The Book of Shadow #2"
i passed on the 1st one because it had too much chunky glitters and i wasn't in love with the colors but this one is a different story
I swear i have an obsession with gunmetal like taupe colors

Price: $48 + tax
it's about $2.75 per item and that's sooo worth it
the picture is from Temptalia.com

how to fade acne scars (it works)

2009-08-31T00:06:00.000-07:00

this was how my skin looked like 2 months ago u can see that i have a lot of scars from my pimples and their pretty red

i think this was me a few weeks ago with my bb cream on as a concealer u can see it's somewhat lighter but that's because it was covered up
and this was yesterday right out of the shower
I washed my face with purpose cleanser along with the best bath store acne bar and that was about it
(the dark spot under my nose is so much lighter now and my chin also looks a lot better)
the frontal view of my face

side view

well now you must be wondering "how did do that"
1st of all it takes time it's been about 2 months and my skin is slowly healing
2nd find a method that works for u
3rd try to stick to your routine as much as u can

the products that worked for me are
the body shop seaweed pore cleansing exfoliator, clinique post blemish solution, and skin food gingko bb cream.
heres how i use these products
1. in the shower i wash my face with purpose cleanser along with the best body shop acne cleansing bar
2. then i exfoliate my chin and acne scars everyday but only those spots it's not good to exfoliate your face everyday it's too harsh
3. right before bed i dab on the post blemish solution into the spot and rub it in
4. the nest morning before i head out i dab on the post blemish soultion in my spots again
5. after that i use a concealer brush and dab on the bb cream like a concealer
6. lastly i set it with a powder
all done the spots might not be completely covered but i'm ok wiht that i try to let it breath as much as i can

this is what works for me and i hope it'll work for u too i know the clinique blemish solution is pricey $13.50 for either 0.74 oz or 0.5 oz but hey it really does work i see results i tried the body shops tea tree oil thing and it didn't work it was like $20 something for 2 oz and it didn't do shit a total waste of money

hope this helps i'm gonna go to bed now and talk to my boyfriend

Good night

Dior vs. NYX

2009-07-11T21:38:00.001-07:00

In my previous post i said that one of my Nyx trios was the exact same color as my dior tropical light pallet so here's the comparison

Dior Tropical light
this pallet is my favorite it's one of the few eye shadows that i have a dent in

Nyx trio ice mocha, slate, and frosted flake
(these names make me hungry for some reason)
i was playing with my eye shadows and swatching them and i realized that these 3 eyeshadows look the same as my favorite eyeshadow combo

Question: can you tell who's who?
they look the same right?
answer:
left: nyx ice mocha, slate, and fristed flake
right: dior tropical light pallet

the only reason i am able to tell them apart is because dior eyeshadows have this sheen to it without that i would of been fooled

the sheen i'm talking about
it's an exact dup right?

Similarities:
1. they look the same
2. highly pigmented
3. easy to blend

Differences:
1. price dior is expensive
2. nyx does not have that pretty sheen

basically these two products look the same the dior one comes with a punch of shimmer and sheen the nyx is more affordable whereas dior is a luxury item

personally i like the dior one more because i hate matte eyeshadows i own 2 matte eyeshadows and i never use them i like my shadows shimmery and i love the sheen

Hope this was helpful

my eyeshadow collection / opinions

2009-06-28T21:55:00.000-07:00

This is my eyeshadow collection to some it might be a lot and to others it might not be
lets just say i went crazy for a while and bought a lot of eye shadows and now i'm trying to finish up everything
I will also talk a little about the eye shadows i own and what i feel about them

Estee lauder
all of the eyeshadows i own from them are the gift with purchase ones i don't see the point in buying their eyeshadows when i can get them for free because my mom uses their skincare line these eyeshadows are amazing their pigmented, smooth, the blend well, they hold true to the color on the pan.
Estee lauder is the higher line for the company that owns mac stila and estee lauder
these are so worth it the next time u see a deal for gift with purchases from estee lauder go for it it's worth the money for the stuff u get just the eyeshadow pallets are already worth the money ur spending to get the gift with purchase

this is my go to neutral eyeshadow pallet and the best thing is that it was a gift with purchase therefore i didn't pay for it
the eyeshadow right in the middle is my favorite eyeshadow it's the only one with a dent in it out of all the eyeshadows i own

top 4 eyeshadows on the left hand corner smoky pink
( the smoky pink retails for like $40 or $50 in a quad)
bottom roll berry ice, pink ice and cinnamon
top right going down:chocolate and tea biscuit

I haven't use this yet i'm not really a fan on matte eyeshadows but maybe i'll grow into it one day

adn it's kind of a back up in case i run out of that one color i love so much in the smoky pink

names on order of the shadow:
mulberry smoky pink center lavender
sugar cube smoky pink center berry ice

i think this pallet is so versatile because there are neutrals, then some darker colors and also highlighter

left to right

tea biscuit, plum pop, rose confetti( this is my highlight when i feel like using one it's more like a really light pale pink i think white is just too harsh for a highlight at least for me) pale moon, black moon ( this one can be a dup for Mac night divine also one of my other favorite colors) amethyst (a dark purple with a blue undertone) and sugar cube

Clinique
clinique was my 1st eyeshadow brand
their no brainer u have a lid color and a crease color perfect for people who are starting out with makeup or want something easy to toss in your purse
their pigmented, smooth, but can be kind of messy because it sheds little when you try to pick up color from the pan
best of all is that it comes with an applicator that's pretty decent for touch ups of doing your makeup as a whole
all of cliniques eyeshadow come with a mirror both on the outside and inside talk about convince

This is my 1st eyeshadow i know i know blue for a first eyeshadow but what can i say i like blues
i barely use it now

something blue

this one is the perfect neutral eye makeup it's perfect in one kit easy to use and these a applicator one side is the sponge tip and the other side is a soft crease like brush (not depicted)

buttered bronze

I don't know what i was thinking when i bought this i don't even use it i think i was suckered in by the name
key lime pie

this one is also from a gift with purchase and it's basically the same quality as the ones being sold
sunburst

Stila
stila is a love and hate with me i love their eyeshadows becasue their good quality and will last forever but i hate that i have to buy the container separately for the price i pay for the case ic an get a full eyeshadow somewhere else that pisses me off
quality of the eyeshadows are speech less non chalky pigmented and their color range to me is unique because i find so much pastel and girly colors from them

there's no name it's just a blue trio it makes an amazing smoky blue eye the packaging is cute but it's too bulky

bottom four
chime, evergreen
poppy, ebony
the one on top: key (when i saw this color i knew i had to have it it was so unique and pretty)

bare minerals
these were from my friend for my birthday she loves everything bare minerals i personally think it's too much work because their powder eyeshadows and that means their messy, u need to wet them for them to stay put, and just the fact that i wear contacts and i don't want it to fall into my eyes. i don't use these much i probably used them twice each and i had them for half a year already

celery and surprise

Mac
yes finally Mac i know some ladies out there really love mac but i'm just not one of them
their pretty good quality for the price don't get me wrong there are some mac eyeshadows that i love but they just don't make me go crazy
it also turns me off that they produce so much fall out all over my cheek

evening aura
and
knight divine (i love this dark charcoal grey color it's my go to color when i want to do a darker look it matches everything)

the mineralize duo the concept was awesome i loved the way it looked so i got 2 both are in the matialic family and purple family
these produce alot od fall outs i wore it one day and it was all over my cheek even with a primer
their highly pigmented i'll give u that

odd couple and polar opposites

mac eyeshadows depotted
1st column orb and soft brown matte (i hate these 2 colors i got these the 1st time i went to mac and the mua recommended these 2 colors for me and lets say i do not like them at all)
dream maker (this is a shimmery gold color it looks nice but it falls all over my cheeks)
I'm just not a fan of mac eyeshadows that's just me i don't want anyone to be offended or anything

Urban decay
urban decay is amazing when it comes to pallets when you do the math it's practically cheaper then mac but more then some drug store brands the quality is way better then drug store
highly pigmented, stays put, does not fall all over my cheeks, has unlimited numbers of looks

Delux shadow box $38+tax=around $40/9 that's like $4 it's crazy it';s cheep it's amazing save up for it it'll be worth your money in the long run

Nyx
Nyx in my opinion is the best drug store eyeshadow out there their everything u'd want
their amazing dups for other higher end cosmetics

in the 2nd column coming in from the right side those 3 colors are the exact same dupe for dior eyeshadows if u had it in a dior packaging i would not be able to tell the difference i'll do a separate post on it after this

Baby blue, golden poppy
lime green, charcoal

frosted flake, slate, and iced mocha
barely there, champagne, root beer

Dior
Dior is my absolute love it's hands down the best eyeshadow out there in my opinion
it;s creamy goes on flawlessly blends like a dream
after using this quad nothing compare to it not even close
i got mine when sephoria was during their friends and family 25% off
original price: $58
discounted price: $44
price per eyeshadow: 8.80
Now thats a steal
wait fro deals and save up their worth and it'll save u money in the long run

tropical light

I only buy eyeshadow pallets now because their cheaper then buying single eyeshadow it's not like i'm going to finish anything soon so y not save myself come money

favorite to least favorite would be

Dior
Stila
Estee Lauder
Urban Decay
Nyx
Clinique
Mac

I know these are the higher end eyeshadows but when you get a good deal go for them because they are better quality i just feel safer using something with more of a guarantee becasue this stuff is going on my face expensive items are expensive for a reason their tested more becasue they have a name to live up to and they just cant risk damaging their name so they probably use better quality materials to produce their products

update from my week

(this picture was taken after i woke up from my nap with my boyfriend you can kind of see his sleeve he's sleeping over there yup we nap a lot because he is such a nerd and plays video games at night even though works hard during the day time. i was taking picture and he looked at me going "are u bored and i said "I'm ok go back to sleep" then he was like "ok go back to being barbie" because i was retouching my makeup)

Monday

it was the 1st orientation or my internship
this summer i'm one of the 6 interns interning with Gladstone Institute which is a research facility that has 3 institutes neurology, immunology and virology, and cardiovascular research
i was placed in a lab in immunology and virology and Monday was orientation day basically we went over what was expected from us the rules and all that
Basically i'm a summer lab intern and everyone assumes your a grad student which i'm not
i also got asked are u married interesting right
do i really look that old?

Tuesday

the 2nd day of my orientation
this day was horrible i had to do online safety trainings one for lab safety and the 2nd one was safety with the fume hood. then we had an online quiz which was really had
luckily i passed with the help of some of my fellow interns
after that we went over pay rolls and how to count our hours.
I'm getting paid in 2 days I'm a happy camper =D

Wednesday

this day me and the other interns were being tour guides for the NSLC which is a 10 day program for high school students to learn and have lectures at UC berkeley
Nothing interesting

Thursday

ok this was my 1st official day in lab my mentor spent 2 hours talking to me about the project and when i'm going to be doing and after he finished i had the worst cramps ever this was the 2nd time it happened i had cold sweats, my whole body was weak, my vision was blurry, i wanted to throw up, cramps bloating everything bad basically.
So i called my dad to pick me up and when i got home i took midol got a hot water bag (these things are love when your having horrible cramps) grabbed belly ( my stuff animal from my bf) and tried to go to sleep my bf talked to me for a bit he snuck off form work to see if i was ok and everything and i fell asleep when i woke up i ate a huge orange and a little bit of food after and that was basically my 1st day of work not the best right?

Friday

2nd day of work i went to a 2 hour lab meeting listening to phds and md and researchers talking about stuff that i didn't understand
after that i learned how to run a protien gel and do westen bloat which is basically putting DNA into a gel so we can see how big it is and then transfer it onto a membraine where it will stick forever
after 6 hours of work i took bart to meet up with my bf and his friends to watch transformers it was cool and i had fun but he had to rush me home cause it was getting late and omg the way home was scary we were merging into a lane and a huge car one of those trucks that carry new cars to the dealership well that thing was driving hella fast and it didn't brake at all so we almost ended up crashing THANK GOD WE DIDN'T but it was scary

Saturday

yesterday was so how it was like 95 degrees and i felt liek i was melting
we and my boyfriend basically didn't do anything cause it was too hot for anything
we went to borders and he got me a magazine and one for himself yup he feeds my obsession for magazines.
then we ate and he was going to go home to pick up his doggies and bring them to his sister and i was going to wait for him in the car because i was scared to meet his parents
but his mom saw me and was like "tell your friend to come in" so i went in and they were really nice i kind of ran into them once before so they knew who i was but they don't know i'm his girlfriend because i am young and he wants his parents to get to know me more before he tells
them i am such a chicken i'm scared to meet his parents
but I got to play with his doggies so that made me happy
i'm happy because one of his dogs is really smart she understand 3 languages English Chinese and Shanghai she's a picky doggie and spoiled but i love her to pieces
all of his friends say that his dog ignores them and doesn't come to then when they call for her but she comes to me and licks me and plays with me so i'm happy because she accepts me
then he droped me off at home

Sunday

Today is my typical stay at home do nothing but laundry day and now i'm here posting a blog

I hope everyone had a nice week

btw what do u ladies do when u get cramps?

My day today

2009-06-20T23:13:00.000-07:00

here's the look i did for today
(blues and grey)

ignore lower half of my nasty face I'm breaking out so badly nothing can get rid of it
closed
semi open
opened (when my eyes are opened you can't really see the shadows but when i blink you can see it)

products used:

eyes
two face shadow insurance as a base
mac bare study paint pot
stila poppy e/s on the inner corner
urban decay peace e/s on the ball of my eye
mac knight divine e/s on the outer crease
mac blacktrack fluidline for the upper lid
Urban decay sin e/l on the lower lashline and smudge it out
Diorshow iconic mascara

face
clinique moisturizer
(this is another moisturizer it might be breaking out my cheek i'm not sure)
mac mineralize skinfinish natural in medium
Nars laguna bronzer

me sitting at bart waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up btw I'm on the phone with him
then we went to hunt for rite aids because all of the rite aids in San Fransisco are closed and the eyeliner i love is only sold at rite aid

The brand name is styli style
and i love the line and seal 24

Ladies when you find a guy that is will to drive around to help his girlfriend look for eyeliner then he's a keeper we went to two different rite aids the first one we went to didn't have styli style and i was sad and he saw my face and said we'll go to the other one. haha i know I'm a dork but i only get to see my boyfriend once a week so we do try to make the best out of it

yes i know i went a little crazy and i won't need another eyeliner for probably years
i spent $40 something on them which is a good deal because it's an amazing liner for like $5-6
it's waterproof, sweat proof, and smudge proof they don't come off with rubbing, they don't come off with water, they don't even come off with soap. you need makeup remover with this stuff.
i drew on my friends hand with it and she had a heart on her hand for 2 days
that's how amazing this stuff is
If you get the chance try them out i love them they're creamy, smooth, and easy to use. in my book their better then mac, urban decay, and a lot of other brands

the lady at the cash register was laughing at me so badly
my boyfriend was doing the same thing but i didn't care i got what i wanted i'm satisfied

Mac Mineralize Skin Finish Natural

2009-06-20T23:03:00.001-07:00

Left: Medium (more pink)
Right: Light Medium (more yellow)
to me these kind of smell like honey

i love mineralize skin finishes because their so light and they made my skin so flawless or well it did when i had good skin now my chins hella nasty looking and I'm breaking out like crazy

you can use this product as a:

-finishing powder
-foundation if your skin is really nice
- if you get a darker color it can be used as a contouring powder

haul

2009-06-20T22:39:00.001-07:00

sometime last week i went to:

Walgreen:

aspirin to make aspirin masks
( the 1st time i did the mask i did have honey so i didn't use it and i think i had better results my skin was softer and my scars looked lighter.
The second time i used it with honey and it wasn't the same as the 1st time and now I'm starting to get little breakouts on my cheeks and i NEVER break out there i don't know if it's the honey or not. has anyone had a weird reaction to the aspirin mask?)

rimmel mascara (didn't opened it yet)

biore for my nosethe ultra strips have tea tree oil in it so it's supposed to be better or something
and at Walgreen when you spend $15 on biore items you get a $5 coupon so it's better then nothing rightthat's the crap it took out of my nose
on the 1st strip it took off a lot more crap
this picture was the 2nd time i did it
btw i try to use them once a week

Sephoria:

Diorshow iconic mascara
i'm really loving this mascara i usually don't spend so much money on mascaras but i was sold when the lady said it's 100% waterproof, sweat proof, smudge proof and it helps your lashes grow
so we'll see if my lashes grow or not

Murad

i think it's a moisturizer or somethign i didn't use it yet i got it for free
ladys in glamor magazine there's an ad saying sephoria will be giving away murad samples
no purchase necessary
simply go to the cash redgister and ask for a murad sample

posh brushes compaired to mac brushes

2009-06-18T11:57:00.000-07:00

I got these Posh brushes a while back at bed bath and beyond i was so excited when i saw them.
I bought the travel set and the kabuki brush
they were pretty cheap i think they were each less then $20

I really like the quality of these brushes the quality of the handles were horrible though
for the duo brushes the tops popped off and super glued them back on and now they look really ugly but hey the quality of the brushes are amazing
it even comes with a little zip up pouch so u can bring them everywhere

i love this kabuki brush i was eying the mac one but it was way to expensive so when i found this one i was like i have to have this
this brush is so soft and dense I LOVE IT
i use it with my mac mineral skin finish and it's looks like i have nothing on my face at all

when i washed these brushes there was minimal shedding and it didn't turn my sink black
over all i love the quality and they are comparable to mac brushes so give them a try

Comparison time

(side view)

left: mac 129 SE powder/blush brush (from the holiday collection)
right: Posh powder brush

as i can see from the top view the mac brush is a lot bigger and it has more bristles
against my face the posh brush is actually softer by a little
i use these brushed for blush because i use my kabuki for powder

(top view)

left: mac 190 foundation brush
right: posh foundation brush

Personally i haven't used either brush because i don't use liquid foundation because i'm crazy and i don't like the thick feeling on my face and if i do use tinted moisturizer (once in a blue moon) i need fix + or i'll be paranoid for the rest of the day.

from what i can see the Posh brush is wider but the mac is more dense
the posh one is really flimsy whereas the mac one is more sturdy
their both the same when it comes to being soft

left: mac 239 shader brush
right: posh touch up brush

Their both eyeshadow brushes
i use the mac one everytime i use eyeshadow i love this brush and i would go nuts without it
size wise their exactly the same
the mac brush is more dense so it might pack on more color
the posh brush has less bristle but it's just as good as an eyeshadow brush
their both just as soft
i love both

if u want to spurge go for the mac it will last you forever i had it for about a year and it still looks brand new the logo and # came off though

left: mac 194 SE concealer brush
right: posh conceal brush

these 2 brushes look completely different
the mac one is longer and rounded
the posh one is pointed at the tip and a lot shorter
they both work just as well by using a patting motion
their both just as soft

(left to right)

1. mac 263 small angle brush
2. mac 266 SE small angle blush
3. posh eye liner brush

mac 263
this is one of my first mac brushes and i still use it for my blacktrack this brush is the smallest out of the 3 it's really good for eyelining the only downside is that if the brush is not wet enough it will poke u and hurt not alot but it's just unpleasant

mac 266
this is from the limited edition set and it's the thickest of the 3 it is impossible to line your eyes with this brush i use it to fill in my brows with a brow powder

posh eye liner
this brush is the softest out of the 3 and it's wider then the 263
this brush will not poke u no matter how little prouduct u have on it

left: mac 219 SE pencil brush
right: posh smoky brush

the mac brush hurts it pokes my eyelid i barely use this i only use it when i want to do some detailing for my outer V
the posh smoky brush us huge it's double the size of the mac one it's sofy but it can be a little scratchy

so there's my review and comparison for these posh brushes
for the price they are worth your money

the SE after a few of the mac brushes means that their from a holiday set
so they are not hand made

i do own full size hand made mac brushes and those brushes are amazing their soft and last forever but their more on the expensive side in my opinion the only mac brush u should save up for a and get are their blending brushes those things are amazing i have 2 different one and i can't find a duplicate anywhere

the 224 is great as a blending brush i use it to contour my nose everyday and it delivers the perfect amount of bronzer to make my nose look higher
the 217 i think is my favorite eyeshadow brush it creates dimension to my eyes and when i feel like using more then 1 eyeshadow color i always reach for this brush

if u ladies have any questions about anything leave a comment and ask away

i'm back

i'm sick

2009-05-25T22:07:00.000-07:00

i am officially sick
i was working on a project and i just felt horrible i threw up and after that i called it quits
I thought i was going to die on my way to see my boyfriend
i was deadly pail and as sick as a dog and being on my period does not help at all.
once i got in his car i literally fell on his belly and laid there for a few minutes before i sat upright
on the ride to his house i took his hand and put it into of my cramps iono how it happens but it went away when i place his non driving hand there (try it out ladies it might work out for u too)
and once i got there i crawled in his bed and cocooned myself up
after a few hours of having him hold me and watch tv i was all back to health
then we went out for a quick dinner and once i gto in my room omg i got hella sick again
i swear he is like my drug
i'm here with slippers, hot water bag, my stuff animal belly, and a huge blanket and none of this compairs to my boyfriend.
i was so dead today and he cured me i love him
haha enough about my day

I'm going to stay home from school tomorrow so that means i'll update my blog i got some posh brushes and i'll do a post tomorrow
what else are you lady's interested in cause i'll do a post on it tomorrow too

my computer is fixed i survived without my computer for 2 days and now it's back i finally get to catch up on everything i practically lived off of my magazines (i'll summarize some of the interesting articles tomorrow) and the tv

Have a nice evening and stay healthy

catching up

2009-05-16T20:03:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the lack of blogs ladies
my life in going nuts right now everyday i want to graduate and get out of my school people are so fake and i'm just sick of it. i don't let it bother me but i do want to get away from it all.

You guys have to go out and watch angels and demons!!!
it's awesome there wasn't a minute where i was bored. i watched it with my boyfriend yesterday and it was just really nice action packed kinda graphic though but it was so worth it. i'm not going to spoil it but lets say the ending was very unexpected

Today was so hot i was in Palo Alto with my boyfriend we shopped around a little and got some Sprinkles cupcakes their soo good but so expensive at the same time. It was so hot there the tar was starting to melt
on our way back i was really sad
i knew he had plans with his ex (who he still loves he loves me more though) i know he loves her and she's really important to him i'm not biter or anything i was just sad when she called early so we had to cut our day short. on the drive back i was tearing up and trying to not let him know it's just hard i'm not jealous or anything i completely trust him and love him but it's just hard.
all of his friends think he's crazy because he's with me and not her she's a model and a pagent girl and i'm just a normal girl.
there are days when i feel inferior but i know he loves, me trust
me he went through a lot because he loves me and i know he will never hurt me on purpose. but sometimes i'm just so scared to lose him because he said if we don't work out she will be the one he marries. he's just scared i don't know what i want yet because college can change everything and he doesn't want to end up losing her also
when i'm with him i feel so perfect it's like we don't have to talk at all we can just lay there and be really happy. he talks me to sleep when i have a.d.d even if he's hella tired. he sings in the car to make me laugh he lets me tickle him and rub his belly even though he hates it he doesn't mind holding my super cold hands were so bad for each other but we rather be against everyone then to not be together
He honestly loves me for me and i am the same with him i can't imagine myself without him i absolutely love this guy some people spend their whole lives looking for what we have i'm just scared i will mess up and loose him becasue she will take him back in a heartbeat. were a really honest to each other we tell each other everything he knows that i love him for everything he is and everything he's not, she loves him for how he can make her feel and what he can do for
her not that she's using him or anything she loves him too. he will always take care of her and love her he says he loves me more but i just help but feel sad about it. i know for a fact that i want to be with him for the rest of my life i want to have kids with this guy and people might say i'm too young to know all of this. i know it's not easy to find someone that love you just as much as you love him i think i'm really blessed
haha now i'm rambling there's no one i can really talk to about him so i'll talk about him here He got these when he went to Korea he bought them for the future to give to someone that's worth it
the male one say's "i love you forever" it's supposed to have a lock on it but it broke off so we replaces it with my lucky clover. the female one said "me too" and it has the key to it so the guy has to give it to the girl. he gave them to me on my birthday and for Christmas he gave me his necklace to other people it might mean nothing but he had saved up his money to buy it when he was a kid he treasured it. the whole night he was debating whether to give it to me or not and he choose to give it to me that made me feel so special and loved
I think i'm just being emotional and over reacting Ladies thank you for bearing with me

Am i just over thinking things and worrying over nothing?
i can't wait till he gets home so i can talk to him

blues and greys

2009-05-10T19:16:00.001-07:00

update on the Missha perfect bb cream

2009-05-10T18:47:00.000-07:00

my 3rd time using this bb cream
this is how my face looks like with the bb cream it blends nicely into my skin
the 2nd time i wore this bb cream it broke me out it's the 1st thing that have ever broken out from
i love the coverage and everything but i don't know what i'm going to do with it.
i'll keep experimenting with it does this break anyone else out?

ladys if your bb cream is hard to blend try this trick it works i promise
squirt our however much you need onto the back of your hand then spray some fix plus over it and after that start blending the mixture onto your face this way you have a little more time before the bb cream starts to dry on your face

Philosophy purity review

2009-05-10T18:22:00.000-07:00

The Philosophy purity can be purchased at sephoria
i got this a while ago cause the reviews were so good for it
I don't love it but i don't hate it either

what the bottle says:

deep cleans pores and eliminates makeup build up
hyderates as it melts away makeup
contains deep cleansing agents
natural oil extracts help condition skin
fragrance free formula

Pros:

it does remove my makeup
cleans my face
it will last for fovever only a dime size is needed for the whole
it's gentle
doesn't care breakouts for me
it's well worth your money $20 for 8 oz

Cons:

when i first got this bottle it smelled so bad to me i'm use to it now
it makes my face feel really soft right after i wash my face but after half an hour my cheeks and forehead would be dry

Final though:
I'm not in love with this product but it's better then most and i've tried more of the higher ranking cleansers such as H2O, estee lauder, sheshido, clinique, and etc. i don't think i will get this again beacsue i want to find a cleanser i love over all this is a good cleanser it's just not for me. if your interested go try it out because there are people who love this, everyones skin is different so it might do more for you guys

random jewelry laying around? take advantage of them

2009-05-03T22:21:00.000-07:00

If you ladies are anything like me then you must have tons of jewelry you no longer wear or a pair of earrings where you lost one but have one left
well i have a solution for that why not turn it into something you'll wear more

simple yet cute and it didn't take much time of effort
here's how it looks like when i'm not wearing it

my uniquely me earrings
i'm only wearing cliniques gel moisturizer nars organs blush and laguna bronzer
i'm wearing some kind of eyeliner i don't remember what it is

this one was inspired my some of the crystal stars i made before
(my hello kitty ring is siting there)
Here's the end results

i got some circular hooks and chains and got creative
have fun ladies and i know there are things you out grown and don't like anymore but there much of been something that attracted you to it before
so why not take them apart and make something new and cute

How i'm fading my acne scars

2009-04-28T21:35:00.000-07:00

Remember this was how my face looked like on a good day when i was breaking out and i had my acne scars
well after experimenting with a few products on my face i finally found something that works and i've been using these products for at least 2 to 3 weeks
(the picture above was about a month ago and i had nothing on but moisturizer i had scars here and there on my face)

(this picture was taken last Saturday which was 4 days ago i only wore my moisturizer and here you can see that most of my scars are gone or their a lot lighter in real life ignore my ugly scar i've been eating way to much fried food)

If you want to know how i got rid of them keep reading
i would put this murad acne spot treatment gel on the pimple or a pimple that it starting to from i use it in the morning and at night and it will shrink the pimple and it was able to kill a pimple within 2-3 days THIS IS MY NEW LOVE i tried it on my boyfriend and the next day he told me his pimple dried up
you can buy this at sephoria the guy at sephoria actually recomended it to me and he said this spot treatment contains sulfer and unlike salilic acid it does not purge your skin (meaning it does not make your skin spit out all of the crap under the surface which can lead to more pimples)

Pros
1. IT WILL KILL YOU PIMPLE
2. it's the best thing i've even used
(i've tried neurtagena, tea tree oil, proactive for like 2 day but it was too drying, and so much more and trust me this product works)
3. I think this can last me forever you only need a little dab on it for your pimples

Cons
1. it stings a little but i was able to handle it so it's not that bad
2. it smells kind of funky but her it works so who cares
3. maybe the price $18 for 0.5 oz (it will last a long time)

I would surly buy this again if i ever run out

Ok now for the scars i use Cliniq ues acne solution post blemish formula this was also recomended to me by the same guy at sephoria and this thin must be working on me because i do notice my scars gerring lighter and smaller i also use this once in the morning and once at night for the past 2-3 week

pros
1. it does the job and fads my scars
2. it does not smell bad or anything
3. i haven't had any bad reactiosn to it
4. it's easy to use (you twist the bottom and the cream come out on the top and u dab it onto the scar)

cons
1. the tube is plain stupid me nad my boyfriend we sitting there twisting it and nothing came for a while then it started coming out of the tube the pactaging is just weird to me
2. it's 0.07 oz i don't even know how much that is and i hope i don't run out soon

I would buy this again because this works for me i tried the body hops tea tree oil blemish fader it comes with a lot more but it doesn't really work so if the product works i'm willing to give it a go

this is me on Saturday before prom I had on the Laura Mercer tinted moisturizer my shade is nude (does anyone have this product and what do u think about it please tell me i'm thinking about getting it because my bb cream broke me out i think i'm not sure yet) from far away u can not see any of my scars at all o0o and the reason why i am wearing such a huge coat if because where i live the weather is crazy in the beginning of the week it was in the 80-90 but within a few days it dropped to 40-60 that is crazy

(here is my dress for prom i did my own fair and makeup other then my face yes i had matching hello kitty accessories the necklace is really heavy though )

Diane i hope this post was helpful for you if you have any questions ask away =]

sorry for the lack of post lately i'm tryout to get my life back in line if you guys have any questions leave me a message or if you have a request tell me about them =]

luv if ur on my blog read this

2009-04-18T23:14:00.000-07:00

I know i know your probably not interested on my blog about makeup and since we can' t really talk now i made a separate blog just for u Yep your that important to me on the left side of my blog scroll down and you'll see "view my complete profile" click on it and you'll see our imagine that's all for u. MWAH and how is your face feeling?

What i usually use for my face

2009-04-17T21:38:00.000-07:00

I used to have really good skin with few breakouts here and there but stress killed my face and left scars behind but here what i do to deal with it. The scars on my forehead are starting to go away but the one on the left side of my nose and the ones on my lower right shin are still there. When i feel like it i will conceal them but when i don't feel like it i just do the minimum.

(Products used when i want to conceal my scars)
1. Clinique moisturizer
2. Make up forever green concealer on blemishes and the 4th concealer over the green (i have a review on this product so u can look it for it if your interested)
3. Mac MSF in light meduim only on areas that i have concealer on yes i know i should do my whole face but i really don't want to
4. Nars Blush in orgasm on my cheeks and Laguna bronzer as contour (i'm starting to love this product i use it every day)
5. Mac fix plus ( i spray it where u out products on such as my chin, between my eyes where my redness are and my cheeks)
6. i think i'm just wearing black eyeliner here not sure which one though

On days where i wake up not caring about my face i use this routine it's nothing special it's just what i do

(products i use when i don't feel like hiding my scars)
1. Clinique moisturizer (this does the trick for me it makes my face smooth throughout the day and glowy)
2. Nars Orgasm blush and laguna bronzer (i love this stuff i use this almost everyday and if it went missing i would probably go crazy)
3. and what ever eye makeup i feel like using that day

Using my Missha bb cream for the 1st time

2009-04-17T21:10:00.000-07:00

I Recently got 2 Missha Perfect bb creams i got this because of bubzbeauty she is amazing go watch her videos sometime. ok back on topic I got 2 bb creams because my friend wanted one also. I think i will use the bb cream only when i want extra coverage becasue I'm a pale person if i get any whiter i would go crazy. It smells really good and it feels really light. I think it makes my eye bags more noticeable but i can deal with that. One pump was more than enough for my whole face i did not feel oily though out the day and this matches my skin tone perfectly without flash (i'm a nc 25 with flash i look really pale maybe because i didn't let it oxidize yet if you guys are interested on a review just leave a comment and i'll be happy to do it)

( right after i out it on my cheeks looks really pale here but with my horrible camera you can't really tell BE WARNED DO NOT GET THE SONY CYBER SHOT)

(after the bb cream set into my skin i really like the finish here it looks like i have nothing on at all)

(what i used )

(this is the order of the items i used)

1. Clinique moisturizer
(i usually just use this and run out of the door it makes my face soft and smooth looking)
2. Missha Perfect bb cream
3. Mac MSF in light medium (i think i might go and get medium summers coming and i know i will get darker)
4. Mac Fix Plus (i can not live without this stuff if i out anything on my face other then moisturizer i will feel it my face is crazy or something this stuff is amazing it feel great on my skin and it just melts everything together)
5. Mac's felt tip liquid liner (not depicted)

If any one out there has this BB cream tell me about ur methood and what you think about it Thank You =]

Recent Hauls

2009-04-17T20:50:00.000-07:00

Here are a few items that i recently purchased sorry for the lact of posting i've been having a crazy week with my boyfriend i hope everything goes well and nothing will harm him.

Sonia Kashuk retractable brush i think this was $20 i don't remember

I washed it already and it still stinks and black dye was coming out of it
other then the scent this brush is pretty good it's really soft and it's not too big so it's easy to carry around

the brush closed compared to my MSF

If you live in the US you can order Missha products from here

I ordered 2 Missha Perfect cover bb cream ($29.99) one for me and one for my friend
and the
Missha The Style lip & mouth makeup remover ($5.99)
(i really like this remover i haven't tried it with mascara yet but it take off my eye makeup in a snap of a finger it does not leave a oily residue at all the only thing it sucks is that theres really little product (3.38) i want to save it. thats how much i like this remover this beat Clinique take the day off hands down)

Lucido Curling spray i think this was wither $7 or $8 i can't remember (sorry my friends say i have the attention span of a fish) i have yet to try this out but i'm really excited to cause so many bloggers rave about it

2009-04-15T20:54:00.000-07:00

Baby i don't know what will happen tomorrow just know that i will always love you no matter what i will fight for what we have. I say i love but now i really will show you their not empty words i meant everything with my entire heart. IMAGINE

My relaxing day and some rambling

2009-04-08T20:06:00.000-07:00

I'm currently on my spring break i know i should be doing my homework but I'm feeling lazy.

Here's the look i wore today it kind of reminds me of a fruit.

Products used:
1. two face shadow insurance
2. estee lauder double wear shadow stick in pink shell (as a base for my lower lash line)
3. Dior eyeshadow pallet in tropical light ( dark green on top and the pink on bottom)
4. Blacktrack fulidline

(i have no idea why that eyeliner is there)

Today i spent some time with my boyfriend. we watched "What dreams may become" in his car. the movie was sad and pretty long but i was comfortable the whole time because he took out a blanket for me and became my pillow.Yes i know we're dorks and i admit it =] after that we took a nap for the 1st time because i have a.d.d or so he says. I usually don't take naps and it's pretty ahrd for me to fall asleep. It's not my fault i was spoiled as a baby lol. i was the perfect baby i never cry of falling or anything. When I'm sleeping in someone arms I'm like an angel but one you put me down i start crying and screaming I'm like that because my grandma never put me down she would hold me all the time. (i miss her) I think that's why i am such a clingy person now i like hooking arms i with people lets just say i like having body heat around me.

After our nap we went out for Korean food yep my other love =D
His spicy pork bogogi (sp?)

My beef Bojogi

The meal both came with rice

What can i say I'm spoiled by my boyfriend =D I know I'm an extremely lucky girl to be with him. He chooses to be with me when he could be with anyone and i have to say sometimes i feel inferior because he's so smart and surrounded by all of these gorgeous women. Not that he was a player before but when he wasn't with anyone specifically he would date around but now that he's with me he's such a good boy. He doesn't go out as much and he practically only has me. He still loves his ex and he will always keep her close to him because if anything goes bad with me he will still have her in his life. I know some people might think I'm crazy allowing him to do that but i would much rather having him taking care of her an watching over her then to not have him in my life at all. He make me feel perfect in every way possible even when i look hideous he still think I'm perfect, with him i feel like i don't need any makeup at all because we don't hide anything from each other. We trust each other a lot and were very honest. He said that if we do make it through college then it will be meant to be and if we don't then i really don't know, all i know is that i will become a very bitter person. I don't want to think that way but the worlds not perfect.

Make up forever N1 cream pallette review

2009-04-06T20:19:00.000-07:00

the 5 camouflage cream palette in N1

what is said on sephoria

"5 Camouflage Cream Palette - No. 1
The ultimate professional make-up tool. Skin tones are perfect for dark circles and uneven skin tone. Though it provides complete coverage, the texture is light, easy to blend, and won't irritate even the most sensitive skin."

Pros

1. when it "WORKS" it does what it says (which is once in a blue moon)
2. it does not cake on my face

Cons

1. On it's own it's really dry
2. does not blend into my skin unless my face is still moist from a cream
3. the green one does not cover all of my blemishes
4. the colors don't match my skin as well as it could

Final thought

I would not buy this again for $36 it was a waste of my money.
It's weird under light little oil pebbles start forming on the top i don't know y it does that.
Does anyone have this product and if yes can you tell me how to use it properly?

Does anyone know where i can get a green concealer the gets the job done cause my acne scars are really killing me?

This is a little update on me I'm getting sick cause i was washing car yesterday so i don't feel like doing anything with my face. I might just be a nerd tomorrow and wear my glasses, i have really thick glasses i think I'm legally blind and I'm not kidding. A good news is that my face is starting to clear up a little and my scars are starting to fade after i see some more results I'll do a review on the products I've been using if you're interested. (i have a sore throat and runny nose i feel horrible i haven't been sick for months and it finally got me =/)

On Sunday i went shopping with my mommy and it was a lot of fun i miss our mother daughter bonding time.

Have any of u guy tried the Hot Dog On a Stick lemonade it's so fricken good. This thing is huge and it was only $3.25 I think I personally love the green one

On Monday i spent some time with my boyfriend he hurt his leg playing basketball but he still came out to see me and we drove hella far for Sprinkles cupcake =] yea were dorks. This is one expensive cupcake! He got 4 and it was like $16 but it's sooo good though

This was the look i had on it was a natural silver/ gray color I come to realize that i love this color on my lids it's simple yet fun

Nars Laguna bronzer as a contour on my cheeks
Nars Orgasm blush
Loreal telescopic mascara
Mac blacktrack fluidline
this one estee lauder sample eyeshadow (i love that color i'm going to be one sad girl when i run out)

And here's something random his name is Belly he's the jelly belly factory mascot they stooped making them so i better take really good care of him. He's the second gift i got from my boyfriend and i can't sleep without him, I'm crazy i tuck him in before i leave for school and kiss him good night before i go to sleep =]

(That's a little info so you lady's can get to know me more if you're interested share something random that has a meaning to it.)

(see see my face is starting to get better this picture was taken a few days ago)

Konad Nails

2009-03-27T20:53:00.001-07:00

I got this about a year or two ago when i went to Vegas. i got suckered in and i bought it it's quick and easy but I'm just plain lazy but i must say this stuff is expensive. everything was $10 and that adds up really fast.

My 4 plates
and a few of my konad polishes

The basics

1. pick a design and put a coat on Konad polish over it.

2. Use the scraper and scrape off the excess polish

3. use the stamp and push down on the design

4. Pick a spot then roll the stamp over it ( for some of you that don't read chinese this character means love )

5. this is something a little more advanced you can place two colors on the same design

and this is the result

another example (it should say love but the "v" got messed up)

All Done ( my pretty cup)

My phone the LG Dare it sucks well mine does probably cause i dropped it so much. it does not know how to keep my call logs and it always hangs up on my when I'm talking to my boyfriend at night it only hates on him and i don't get some of my missed calls. The cameras amazing and music player are amazing other then that i have nothing else to say for this phone. It's stupid and PMS's on me.

I got kind of lazy and tried to get my nails done as fast as i could so enjoy. I know there are tutorials everywhere on konad nail art but hers my little inspiration.

Haul/ Review

2009-03-25T22:08:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago i went to ulta and I picked up three things. I got the Whipped Silk body moisturizer from St. Ives, a Telescopic mascara and the Felt tip liner from Loreal

Review time:

St Ives Whipped Silk Body Moisturizer

This thing is amazing it makes my skin so baby butt soft. When i first put this on after my shower it was almost slimy but once it set into my skin it was literally baby soft!!! It also smells amazing i kept on sniffing myself i could still smell it on the next day. I would say go and get this it was like $5 the bottle is huge. Try it out you will not regret it. The only bad thing about this is it was really hard for me to track down i went everywhere to find it and when i gave up i found it at ulta so YEA.

Loreal Telescopic Mascara

This mascara has a small applicator compared to my Cover girl lashblast Remember i said my lashes were falling out well i didn't get that with this mascara so i might stick to this one for a while. It really lengthened my lashes and i like that. The only bad thing is that it does not volumize my lashes at all. I don't know I'm not really a mascara person but this ones pretty good in my opinion.

Loreal Felt tip liner

I did not open this yet i will update this when i try it out.

Feeling Proud

2009-03-25T21:53:00.001-07:00

Ahhh I'm feeling very proud today i walked out of my house without any eye makeup on all and it stayed makeup free for the whole day (haven't done that in months). One of my friend was like "you look very plain today or you look different today" and I'm like "yea no makeup." I like dared my friend to not wear any makeup tomorrow and she was all like yea i can do it but one i got on aim she was like no i can't and she made up all these excuses. I feel really happy and proud today my face needs a break. I feel a huge pimple forming though when will this enddddddd ='[

This is my naked face on a good day

My little experiment

2009-03-22T10:10:00.000-07:00

I had this mat nyx eyeshadow and i don't really like mat shadows so i dunked it all in a container to free up some pans. Here's what i did with my little experiment.

1. this is nyx's Cabacabona trio i was practicing depotting with this pellet and i cracked 2 out of the 3 shadows so i was like forget it and i put it all in one jar so i can use the empty pans for back to mac

2. then i took a random shimmery pigment and started to put some into the jar (be careful not to inhale this stuff u will get them flying everywhere)

3. i sprayed some mac fix plus into the jar and i was mixing while i was doing this

4. once you get a creamy paste you can start mashing it with with a lipstick covered with a paper towel

5. all done! here's a swatch of my little creation
when i was first done with it it was like a cream shadow
now that i let it dry over night it because a regular eyeshadow.

Yum Yum!

2009-03-21T23:14:00.000-07:00

MAN AM I ON A ROLE OR NOT i did 4 post now 5 =]
LOL it's like 11:30 pm and i'm still up updating my blog and i'm getting kind of hungry so here's a funny picture of my favorite Asian dessert.

Black sticky rice with ice cream yum yum my love
(Before)

This was what happened when i was done eatting it. I swear i did not do this on purpose it just ended up this way i think it's cuter like this but i'm sad now i want more
(After)

Mending a cracked eyeshadow

2009-03-21T23:03:00.000-07:00

OK so i was depotting my nxy eyeshadow and i was all done then being the clumzy me i dropped the eyeshadow and it cracked so what was what i did to fit it.

Tools:
1. a stick lol
2. your cracked eyeshadow
3.rubbing alcohol
4. tissue
5. lipstick

1. take your cracked eyeshadow and put all of the pieces back into the pan and crush it up into chunks with a stick.

2. put a few drops if rubbing alcohol into the eyeshadow and cover it with a folded tissue.

3. grab your lipstick and start applying pressure to the pan that's under the tissue

4. this was my result it looks kinds ugly but it was my 1st time so it's ok i think it'll look better if i crushed the shadows more (hey it's better fixed and looking ugle then all brokena dn cracked)

Depotting Mac eyeshadows

2009-03-21T22:28:00.000-07:00

Once again I used the method from enkore go check out his youtube account he's awesome! This is my step by step tutorial along with some of my little tips.

Tools needed:
1. Metal cutter
2. Rubbing Alcohol
3. tissues or something to use for clean up
4. Something with a pointer tip
5. eyeshadow to depot
6. somewhere to put you depotted eye shadows
7. magnets
8. flat iron

1. pick an eyeshadow that you want to depot

2. If you look closely you will see a small slit where the pan and the container connects you get our nail file and stick it into that slit and start wiggling until it pops out of the pan.

you will end up with something like this

3. you then make 2 cuts with the metal cutter parallel to the part that jets out
4. stick your nail file into the slit and wiggle it around for some room then start seeping the alcohol in so that it can get to the bottom of the pan ( enkore tells us to bend the cut portion back but that is just too hard for a girl like me no upper body muscle what so ever and yea my nail file broke cause of the alcohol)

5. once the glue gets melted you will be able to pop the pan out ( in my opinion i think mac eyeshadow are easier to pop out the nxy because mac eyeshadow pans are stronger)

ok so theres this program called "back to mac" where you can bring 6 used up mac items to get a new lipstick but for eyeshadow u need to have the metal pan inside the container. what i did is i took an empty nyx pana dn stuck it into the contailer smart right it's a perfect fit)
6. Now it's time to remove that sticker at this step u need to heat up your flat iron

7. gently bounch your eyeshadow pan into yor flat iron the pan does not have to be hot as long as it's warm you will be able to pull off the sticker
Cartion: becauseful not to burn yourself
8. not you take ur sticker place a piece of magnet against the back of you eyeshadow pana nd stick it down and you're done
All done! left is mac right is Nxy

Caution: be careful of burning yourself and anything that can go wrong always protect yourself first and have fun =]

Depotting NYX eyeshadows

2009-03-21T21:48:00.000-07:00

Last night i was bored and i was like you not deport my eye shadows and that was exactly what i did. I used the method from enkore go check out his youtube account he's awesome! This is my step by step tutorial along with some of my little tips

Tools needed:
1. Metal cutter
2. Rubbing Alcohol
3. tissues or something to use for clean up
4. Something with a pointer tip
5. eyeshadow to depot
6. somewhere to put you depotted eye shadows
7. magnets / labels

1. grab the nxy trio that you want to depot

2. get something with a pointer tip and wiggle it around the slit that sits next to where the applicator sits. wiggle parallel to the applicator until the eyeshadow holder pops out.
you will end up with something like this

3. use your metal cutter and make 2 cuts on the corner of the eyeshadow holder (enkore tells us to bend the corner back but i found out it's not as easy as he makes it and u will get plastic everywhere so i didn't bend it i just wiggle around with the metal cutter to get a small slit to work with.)

4. Dip your pointer object (i used a nail file) into your rubbing alcohol and slowly slip it into the little slit ( as your doing this try moving the eyeshadow holder around because this will help the alcohol move around.)
5. i don't know why i didn't take a picture of this step well basically after you put in the alcohol you try to dig your nail file under the pan and slowly pull it out.

6. Well you should end up with a single eyeshadow like this

7. now turn your eyeshadow around and used the alcohol to wipe off the rest of the glue and label your eyeshadow and your done.

Results hehe my first eyeshadow pallet the left side is mac (i will do a step by step tutorial for this after) and the right side if nxy (if you can notice the eyeshadow on the lower right hand corner look really funky well that's because i dropped it and it cracked so i will also be doing a step by step tutorial on how to fix a cracked eyeshadow.)

Please do this with caution i got cut by the flying plastic when i was depotting the second pallet
Warning: you will get flying plastic so protect your eye and hands before you start this project!!! (don't be like me =p)

Pimples/ acne scars/ white head what am i supposed to do?

2009-03-21T21:17:00.000-07:00

OK so you all know that my face has been breaking out like crazy and it's not clearing up at all. My mom stairs at my face everyday and she debating whether to bring me to a Chinese doctor to get some Chinese medicine or not. (i do not want to go that stuff stinks and tastes disgusting)

I get pimples all around my T zone (i have combination skin oily T zone and dry cheeks) nothing i put on the pimples will kill it. My pimples are crazy they stay there for weeks and i can't do anything about it it's driving me nuts. I tried Neutragina (sp?) , Proactive (this stuff only drys out my face it's a no no) tear tree oil (this used to work wonders but i think my skin got immune to it ='[ ) Does anyone have any sudjestions?

Now for acne scars i don't know how it's possible but i always end up scratching my pimples and i mean accidentally. So they start to bleed and leave scars their red and sitting there on my face. It's so bad i don't want to take picture of my face anymore that's why all of my POTH's are my eyes only. Does anyone know what i can do to get rid of them?

White heads ok let me tell u the story today i went to see my boyfriend today and we were cuddling in the car then he started touching my face and he was like hey your face is like mine and he was like look. Then he started squeezing my face and hella crap came out like pebble like things. (nasty sorry too much info) i was like you are never supposed to squeeze anything on your face then he said "do u trust me" so i said "yes" and by the time he was done with my face i was all red. Then i said "I am disgusting" and he said "you are hideous but i still love you" yea that's what i call love but back on the topic. He said that if you don't get that stuff out it's starts to get infected and a huge pimple will form on top of it. Is taht true and are we ever supposed to squeeze anything on our faces? and what do i do when i have white heads?

I think the cause to all of these pimples and whiteheads are from the stress before or my boyfriends face. He has extremely oily/desert like skin so he calls it he can get a pimple one day and by the next it will be dried up and dead nothing can live on his face and when we hug we like to put our faces on each other. I never got pimples before and i only get it on my t zone and the right side of my face and that's the side that touches him. So can someone else's face oily cause pimples and stuff for me?

WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MY SKIN BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE?

My first tagg!!! Honest Scrap Award

2009-03-17T22:14:00.000-07:00

Thank you Cathy for tagging me for the Honest Scrap Award you are a sweety!!!!

“This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog’s content or design is, in the giver’s opinion, brilliant.“When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to the said person so everyone knows she/he is real. Choose a minimum of seven (7) blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have seven friends. Show the seven random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with Honest Weblog. Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten (10) honest things about yourself. Then pass it on!”

10 things about me:

1. I am a clutz i trip over anything and everything recycling boxes, garbage cans, people, even my own two feet, i don't even know how it's possible.

2. I think most guys are shallow. In my high school freshman year i was chubby and had really thick glasses and really little people talked to me. As the year went by i started to loose my baby fat and in the summer i got contacts and all of a sudden guys started to like me. There are guys out that that are not shallow but in my opinion most of them are.

3. I learned how to speak Mandarin by watching this drama when i was 6 years old.

4. I am so lazy i always say i will work out but i never do i always end up forgetting or making up excuses.

5. I am a bio/ science nerd i love learning about science history makes me want to cry cause i can never remember anything.

6. My friends call me an aloe chipmunk because i drank aloe vera everyday for a month and i have chubby cheeks so their all like "you store aloe like how chipmunks store acorns"

7. I can not fix a computer even if my life depended on it. Once i get a virus i start freaking out cause i don't know what to do with it.

8. I have a bad habit of opening new things before i finish the old stuff. ex: i have 4 different sets of shampoo and conditioner opened in my bathroom, countless amount of lotion, body wash and hair care products.

9. My relationship with my boyfriend started with the word IMAGINE. This one day after midnight we were talking on the phone and we were both really tired, he said "forget who we are and just imagine that ur a girl and i'm a guy imagine what can happen between us." It was supposed to be a one night thing but the next few days we started talking even more and thinking about the possibilities more. I swear we are opposites like the sun and the moon, i never thought i would be with someone like him not even in my dreams. I still get shivers when i think about how much we've been through and how much were willing to risk to be with each other. I swear it is like a tv drama.

10. As of right now i feel like I'm on top of the world (a song by the pussycat dolls) . I feel loved by my boyfriend, he makes me feel perfect even though i'm gaining a huge belly cause he feeds me too much. I made amazing new friends from my blog Love u guys!!! I got in the college of my dreams with a scholarship. I'm also cutting all of the bad and negative stuff out of my life and i'm trying to enjoy life to the fullest.

my trick to enhancing brown eyes

2009-03-14T20:51:00.000-07:00

I'm a chinese girl with brown almond shaped eyes in my opinion i think purple really brings out the brownness in brown eyes. So here's a simple look i created sorry for the lack of picture i'm really breaking out so i don't want to take pictures of my face so bear with me please. this picture does not do the look any justice under the sunlight my eyes looked so pretty i have never seen my eyes so brown before. You only need for items to create this looks less is sometimes more and the products i used can be duped and changed.

1. Urban Decay Lust e/s on the upper lashline
2. Mac bei ging shadestick on the lower lashline as a base
3. Stila Key e/s on top of the shadestick (key is a really pretty frost/shimmery lilac purple i love this eyeshadow)
4. Covergirl Lashblast mascara on both top and bottom lashes. (putting mascara on the lower leashes really open up your eyes)

In my opinion brown eyes are enhanced the most with purples, silvers, blues, and greens.

Hope you guys enjoy i promise i'll do more looks and reviews soon

A big thank you for everyone out there that cares about me =]

2009-03-14T20:29:00.000-07:00

I want to thank everyone that reads my blog. this blog makes me happy it's like everyone is so nice and it allows me to vent without causing drama and trust me i am sick of drama. so here's a big THANK YOU and a HEARTWARMING HUG. =]

Now a big thanks to all of my real friends out there that got my back and would stand by me through the thick and the thin. This year alot has happened i left alot of people who i thought were my friend but in reality they only used me for what i can do for them. i discovered who my real friends are their the ones that accept me for the dork and clutz i am. (i'm constantly tripping and walking into things sigh...)

AND LASTLY a bigggg THANKS to my boyfriend yesterday was our 3 months anniversary he picked me up after school and drove me home he just held me in his arms and kept telling me that everything would be fine and just enjoy life cause i've been stressed out for so long and it's written all over my face. (aka pimples thats the reason why i don't have any new POTD sorry ladies) Today i went over to his place he made me chicken nuggets, we watched harry potter, cuddled, and went out for korean food. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me when my friends find out about him iono whats going to happen. i don't know how to explain it but some people might not understand us and it's going to be tough but i think he's worth it. A guy who's willing to talk to u at night when he's hella tired, a guy who calls every morning just because it makes his girlfriend happy, a guy that's willing to put everything on the line to love u quite literally. yup I LOVE HIM who wouldn't love a guy who plans to drive hours to bring korean food to his girlfriend in college ( i'm not korean i just love korean food and i'm not in college but i will be soon)

the funny thing is none of my friends nor my boyfriend will see this because no one knows that i have this blog. I feel so dorky but i'm just really happy and trying to enjoy life the best i can. We only have one life to live so live it to the fullest. I believe in karma it'll get us eventually but that's just me. I'm very thankful for everything i have and i really want to thank these amazing people who are making my life the best it's ever been.

this is kind of a little update on my life right now if your not interested u can skip this

I GOT INTO THE UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA OF DAVIS and it's my 1st choice i am a bio nerd i watch the news and the discovery channel for bio updates. I also got in Cal Poly San Louis and SF state but their my backup school all in all i'm hella happy that's one good news.

The bad news is my middle school friend is being really bitter about it she doesn't care about Davis at all but she's giving me such a hard time about it.

I put "i got into uc davis" on MY facebook and this is what she said "Just take this shit off because no one really cares. You put it on AIM and we get the message already yet we don't really care either. If people wanted to know they woulda asked. You just make those other students out there who try just as hard as you feel even worse because they didn't get in. And now their parents yell at them because they're failures when I know they are fucking not. Don't think I'm jealous either because I didn't apply there."

It's like i know there are people out there who didn't get in but i worked my ass off to get in. Since i've graduated middle school i've been doing volunteer work, i got tons awards in school, i'm ranked top 10 in my class, i spent my entire summer doing an internship that i fought hard to get into, i took sat classes, and i've done tons of extra curricular activities. I did everythign i could to make myself stand out again the rest of the applicants.

Yea i know she's mad but she has no right to say that and she's like leaving my voice messages going like "if you have something to say say it to my face bitch" when i didn't say shit she's like going nuts over nothing it's not like alot of people care about davis at all it's just that davis is the 1st higher ranked UC's to come out with the results. She's like texting me and going like "of yeah i forgot your one of the most spoiled brats ever. and i don't want to be your friend" she's even dragging my other friend into this and she took no part in any of this. i just don't understand y people become so bitter? If friendship really that fragile?

comparison between eyeliners (MAC, UD, Clinique, andt styli style)

2009-03-13T21:54:00.000-07:00

Here is a comparison between the four eyeliners that i carry around with me. their fast easy and no fuss. these are my most used liners other then my black tract and i love them

This picture was taken at 10 in the morning i had nothing to do in class so i decided to do an experiment

Left to right
(urban decay lust, styli style black/brown, clinique 01 new black, mac penultimate eyeliner)

This was taken at 6pm with alot of rubbing and we can clearly see that all of them are smudging a little except for the styli style (I have to say i rubbed pretty hard and their still pretty in tact)

and Lastly this was taken after i ran my hand under water and i rubbed it a little (i must say i still love them regardless)

1. urban decay lust
( at macys the dude put that liner on my hand rubbed it out and spray water on my hand and rubbed hella hard but nothing can off so i don't know whats with my liner i have to say i'm not in love with it because it's really creamy the tip constantly has to be sharpened for me to draw a thin line)

2. style style black/brown
( this liner is AWSOME it's cheep it's strong it barely needs sharpening and for some reason i have really good control with this liner i would pick this over urban decay anyday save yourself some money it's worth it you can find this awsome liner at most riteaids)

3. Clinique 01 new black
( this was my 1st eyeliner ever and I've been using it ever since it i sometimes use it for tightlining because its a twist up liner but i must say it does not stay on my waterline at all so i probably won't get it again)

4. Mac penultimate liner in rapidblack
(like i said before this is the only liquid eyeliner i can use when i want a more dramatic look i will use this liner it's not water proof at all but i love it it's amazing but i'm trying to look for a replacement it's too expensive for something that's only good for 3-6 months)

whats is my makeup bag

2009-03-13T20:35:00.000-07:00

This is the bag i carry to school everyday and it has everything i need for the day. I sometimes add more to it but it basically stay the same.

Left to Right
1. bobby pin/ hair clips
2. Clean & Clear oil absorbing sheets
3. 5 gum
4. Mac penultimate eye liner in rapidblack
5. Urban Decay 24/7 glide on eye pencil in lust
6. Clinique quick liner for eyes in 01 new black
7. Styli-style line &seal 24 in 123black/brown
8. Burnt Bees honey chap stick
9. Mac Lustreglass in opal (i hate this it's so sticky and nasty)
10. Estee Lauder praline lipgloss sample
11. Clerz plus lens drops (the best ever drops ever they save my life without it I'm screwed)
12. contact solution
13. Victoria Secret dream angel desire lotion
14. a heard shaped rock from my sweetie pie

If i'm in a rush and i don't want to carry anything i'll just grab my chapstick eye drops and contact solutions then i'm good to go.

2009-02-23T18:24:00.000-08:00

I swear i need help or something once i feel like i want a haircut my feet will carry me there sit my butt down and get my hair cut it's a never ending cycle I never though i would look so Asian in my life, i blame it on the bangs. The last time my bangs were like this was in 4th grade. I like how the dude cut the back of my hair and I'll just let my bangs grow back out.

Eyeliner tips from pencil to cream to liquid!

2009-02-22T17:42:00.000-08:00

I have to be honest i sucked at using pencil eye liner i would always draw it too thick. sad right the easiest one to use and i sucked with it. my hand are extremely shaking and only practice can change that. These tips work for me so i hope there at least one that will benefit u guys.

Cream liner ( my # 1 love)
1. I personally use a small angle brush to line me eyes. with a small brush you get better control.
2. Start out with a little of the cream liner on your brush you can always go back for more.
3. This might sound funny but i get up close and personal with my mirror i use a full length
mirror. i walk up to the mirror, tilt my chin up, then i look down with my eyes. This opens up
your eye lids and you won't have to tug on it
4. Start out thin line and make it thicker as you go
5. Always remember to close the jar or you liner will dry out
6. If your cream liner tends to smudge go over it with a eyeshadow

Pencil liner
1. Make sure the tip is sharpened or at least semi pointy
2. I like to have the pencil parallel to my face when i line my eyes using the " getting personal
with my mirror move"
3. Be gentle if your too hard on the pencil your line will end up really thick

Liquid liner (the only method that works for me is fooling myself into thinking it's a pencil)
1. SHAKE IT
2. Use short gentle strokes
3. Be patient this will take time if u don't want to mess up.
4. If you want a wing halfway on your eyelid you should start to draw out how you want your wing to look step back open your eyes. if you like it keep it and fill in the of the liner. if you don't
like it try again.
5. try not to open your eyes right after your done line them in case their still wet. If it's wet it'll
get all over the place

Fixing a mistake
If you make a mistake (ex: it's too think it's smudged, it got all over the place, or you just don't like it) if you don't have eyeshadow on you cal always use a Q tip some Vaseline and clean it up. If you do have eyeshadow on your your brush and place some of you eyeshadow into the part where you messed up on, this should cover or at least make the mistake less noticeable, then you can go in a fix it without taking it all off.

Recap on what works for me
1. Get up close and personal with the mirror
2. Tilt the chin up
3. Look down with you eyes
4. Hold the pencil, brush, or the applicator parallel to the face
5. Start out thin Then get thicker towards the outer edge
6. This is just me personally i hold everything like a pen it's just easier to me

For this look i have on a primer, brown eyeshadow, a little mascara, and the main attraction LIQUID EYELINER. With a line like this you should have a small wing. (My face is still not clearing up i swear my zits have been there for weeks i blame it on stress)

I want a change to my boring hair what should i do?

2009-02-22T17:33:00.000-08:00

(my current hair)

I've had the same hair style for 5 years i think it's time for a change.
I don't want to give up the length but i want a change.
Should i cut my hair like this or try something else?
Any suggestions and would this hair style work for someone with a round face?

(please help i'm a very indecisive person when it comes to my hair)

How i wash my brushes

2009-02-22T17:11:00.001-08:00

What do u do when u have dirty brushes?
answer: wash them
(like my hello kitty tattoo i got it at mac)

As crazy as it sounds i use the shampoo and conditioner i use on my own hair it says anti breakage so why not use it. My brushes end up so soft it's not even funny

1. swirl your brush in a container with warm water mixed with shampoo.

2. swirl your brush in a container with warm water mixed with conditioner.

3. Let the brushes sit in a compartment with clean water.
(ewww look at that nasty water)

4. rinse the brushes out until they feel clean

results: clean brush!
(this picture was taken a few weeks ago. i'm hella mad i don't know how it happened but i'm missing some brushes i don't want to buy more because i know it'll pop up once i get a new one grrrrr)

Update with whats going on

2009-02-19T21:48:00.000-08:00

i have no idea whats wrong with me for the past few days

Tuesday
i spent an hour of my life crying harder then i have ever cried before and i kelp on tearing up throughout the day i was very sad stressed and emotional about family, school, and my friends i can't sleep at all and every time i eat i feel sick everything seemed horrible

Wednesday
i got my period first thing in the morning lol too much info sorry u guys i went out for lunch with a few friends and talked and got some stuff out of my system

Thursday
today was like any normal day i have a huge test tomorrow and i should be studying but i don't feel like it. I'm so happy right now it's crazy for a girl on her period that's pretty unusual not to mention unnatural at least to me. I'M FEELING PERFECT IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY! i'm not eating right, i'm not sleeping right, i have gigantic eye bags, and i an defiantly not in the best shape i can be in but i feel absolutely perfect in every.

whats wrong with me is it cause i cried out everything or is it major PMS?

Just wondering how old do i look like?

My tips to you when it comes to eyeshadows

2009-02-13T20:50:00.000-08:00

1. ALWAYS USE A PRIMER (i have the oiliest eyelids ever i need to base) i recommend the
urban decay primer potion, 2 face shadow insurance, and any of the mac paintpots

2. When using loose pigments always wet your brush before and tap off the excess ( it won't be
as messy, if your a contact wearer it's safer, and prevents it from getting into your eyes if it
gets in it will hurt trust me it has happened to me)

3. This is my trick for putting on e/s i put a darker shade into my crease 1st then i put on a
lighter shade onto my eyelid. this way i know how dark my shadow will get

4. always blend out harsh lines

5. after your done step back and make sure your eyes are even (when your farther away from
the mirror you'll be able to see how everything looks better)

Stay tune for eyeliner tips

Makeup remover reviews

2009-01-25T19:44:00.000-08:00

Here is my opinion on a few makeup removers

Left to right: Mandom cleansing express, Shiseido instant eye & lip makeup remover, and Clinique take the day off

Mandom cleansing express in sebum

It says "ready for bed as soon as possible!"
300 lm
11.99 (the price i got it for)
can be purchased at Japanese or Korean markets

Pros

1. Cheep 300 ml for $12
2. not oily at all
3. great for taking off face makeup

Cons

1. Does not take off my liner on the lower lashline
2. STINGS omg ppl say that this doesn't sting but this one time i was in a hurry for bed and
accidentally got it in my eye it stung so badly i wanted to cry but couldn't
3. has a weird pump that gets the product all over the place

How i use it

When i use face makeup i pump this into a cotton pad and i wipe down my face with it
For eyes i use 1 pump and wipe my eye lids and try to get off as much products as possible then i follow up with a Q tip diped in the Clinique remover

Results

A clean face thats ready for bed

Final thoughts

This cleanser is worth a try it's cheep and it works maybe not as well on me as it does on others but it save me money from buying more of my other cleanser

Shiseido the skincare instant eye and lip makeup remover

made in USA
125 ml or 4.2 oz
Shake well before use
$26

Pros

1. It will last you a long time
2. not as oily as other cleanser
3. works extremely well
4. Gentle and fast
5. doesn't sting at all
6. the way the container is designed makes sure that your product is clean it has a squeeze out tip (think MACs select cover up concealer)

Cons

1. it's hella expensive

How i use it

I just squeele it into a cotton pad and tipe off my eye makeup

Results

Slightly oily lids thats bearable
You can see that your clean in the morning there not residue no black stuff on the inner corners of your eye due to left over eyeliner

Final thoughs

I think i'm goign to go buy another one i'm running out. well actually i've been running out i'm trying to save it until i really need it. I'm not going to go out and buy this unless Shiseido is having a gift with purchase it's too expensive.
This was my first makeup remover that my mom bought me and i LOVE it it's just to expensive.

Clinique take the say off makeup remover for lids, lashes, & lips

125 ml or 4.2 oz
$17.50
allergy tested
fragrance free
ophthalmologist tested

Pros

1. gets the job done
that's the only pro i see

Cons

1. HELLA OILY
2. will look disgusting after a while

How i use it

like what I said before i use it with a Q tip after using mandom this remover gets the job done but by itself it is way to oily it makes my eye lids feel disgusting.

Final thoughts

Personally i don't think this is worth the money but if u really want to try it out wait till clinique is giving them out as a gift with purchase.

Those are my opinions on a few of the removers i have used and i hope it was helpful to u beautiful ladies out there. If you have any questions comment and i'll get back to you.

Covergirl Lashblast review

2009-01-24T22:11:00.001-08:00

Yeah my first review

This mascara is from covergirl and i know u guys must of seem a lot of reviews on them already and i just wanted to share me thoughts about it.

Pro

amazing formula that lengthens your lashes and makes them look a lot longer
a applicator that gets deep into your lashes
evenly coated lashes

Cons
intimidating applicator IT'S HUGE and it gets mascara all over the place well for me it does
if you don't separate for lashes they will stick together and make it look like u have less lashes

Recommended for
ppl who have a good amount of lashes and are trying to make them look longer

Not recomended for
ppl who have sparse lashes because they will make your lashes stick together and look like u have less lashes then u actually do

Results from one coat

3 easy items for barely there makeup

items used

2. Mac's shadestick in shimmersand on the lower lashline
3. Covergirl Lash blast

Does anyone know where i can find a liquid liner that's in the form of a marker thats not mac. The reason y it has to look like a marker is because i have no control with my hands and the only way i don't mess up with liquid liner is if it looks like a marker. I'm tryign to look for a doop mac is too expensive for a liquid liner. Yes ladies liquid liner is only good for 3-6 months so toss them out after a while. So can anyone give me a judgestion?

Hair before straightening and after

2008-12-26T15:38:00.000-08:00

Tips to better hair

Don't blow dry all the time
If u don't have time to condition rub some leave in conditioner while your hair is still damp
try it limit heat appliances if u must then always use a heat protection
try to rinse out your hair with cold water once in a while this closes the shafts to your and it will lock is the moisture. ( i think this made my hair grow faster i have no idea if it's true of not though my hair used to grow really slow but now it's starting to grow a little faster)
treat yourself to a trim from time to time to get rid if split ends

Before & After

I have naturally puffy/ wavy hair from my mom and it's not exactly that pretty.

On the left is how my hair looks right after i wash and let it air dry.

On the right us our end result after straightening

Tools:
A flat iron
Heat protection spray
A frizz tamer milk or cream

make sure hair is completely dry then spray in a heat protection spray while your flat iron is heating up.
Flip your head upside down and straighten your hair once (i learned this from on youtube this method give u more volume on the top of your head)
then stand up straight and clip the top half of your hair up and straighten ur hair in small section.
continue until the whole layer is finished
let down the top half of your hair then comb through all of your hair
on the top layers start with the back and pull your hair away from you all of the back section is straightened
straighten the rest of you hair but leave the bangs along if u have any
straighten your bangs to whichever your parting is at (the tips to not having a sharp flat bangs is to work fast the longer you keep the iron on your hair the more stiff it will be so just)
This step is optional rub a pea size amount of a frizz tamer into your fingertip and rub it into the ends of your hair to make them appear more silky and natural

Hey
I'm new here and i just wanted to share what i do with my makeup and hair. In my opinion i think everyone is beautiful but hey we all like being pretty and looking nice. so i was thinking y not share what i do since I've been reading so much beauty blogs. on my first blog i just wanted to say thank you to all of the beautiful ladies out there that do so much for us on their free time.
