Long awaited update.

Sorry I haven't made any posts in a while, guys! 
I've been really busy lately.

On Tuesday, I went to an amazing concert by Metric.
They are one of my favorite bands ever and also are one of the best bands alive.
They rocked the show that night and I had an awesome time.
Before they went on, another band played called Half Moon Run and they were also pretty good. 
They reminded me of Kings of Leon, but with better instruments and they were very talented at them as well.
They each played 2 different instruments for their entire set.

If you are interested, I would suggest looking both of these bands up because they are definitely worth your time. 

Another update on my life is that I finally ordered my camera last night and it should be here by next Tuesday.
GAHHHH!
I am sooo excited for it<3
This means I will finally be able to upload videos to youtube in WAY better quality than my cell phone cam, of course.
LOL.

Here it is if you are interested in checking it out.



Have a great day!
And I will see you soon.

Something Random

I was just thinking I'd try out something different today and go for a more bolder look.
I just need to take some time and figure out which colors from my palettes I will be using.
So far, I'm thinking orange, red, pink, and maybe yellow to go for a warmer touch.
So be on the lookout for a new tutorial today. ;)

On another note, I have also been playing DA (Dragon Age) the past few weeks and I have had the game for at least a year.
I'd play it off and on and never finish it so I finally decided I would try.
I have always liked the theme of the game as well as the art style and how challenging it was.
The only thing I think that made me quit it so much was that I had other games to play that were really super-addictive.
Some of these games I still do not know why they were so addictive, such as all the mmo's I played. 
I finally decided to quit playing those since they were taking up most of my life and for what reason?
I have no hell of a clue.
But I am doing well so far in staying away from them, so I guess that's for the best.

When I finally get to start posting videos up on youtube with a new camera, which I will hopefully have by next week, I will try and do some makeup tutorial vids.
I'll even most likely make videos of the tutorials I have already done in text format.
I feel that this will further help anyone reach their goal of fully understanding what to do for each step.

And who knows??
I might even start playing some Slender games with face cam. 
or some Amnesia. 
I'm not sure yet because the last time I tried playing Amnesia, I almost had a heart attack. o.o
But anyway, if anyone watches my videos, I will make sure to listen and look out for what they would like to see more of from me and implement that into my videos because the people who view my videos will be my sole inspiration for making more.

Well, I certainly can not wait to make this all happen.
I hope you can't either. :)
Have a great day or night guys!
I will be back later with the next tutorial<3

Blue Breeze Tutorial

Sorry for making this post so late. :( 
I was working all day, guys. 
I feel so tired but I'm still going to manage posting this. *thumbs up*




These are sadly the only pictures of it i have.
I Would do this look on me again right now but as I said, I am currently extremely tired, lol.


::How I did this look step by step::
(If you're wondering what kind of foundation I use or what shade eye shadow I use for my eyebrows, please click this link for my previous tutorial and find out.)

1. I first clipped my hair back with a bobby pin for uninterrupted makeup application.

2. I applied foundation all over my face ad filled in my eyebrows as I did in my previous tutorial.

3. I used the same elf eyeshadow primer as I did in my previous post before applying the actual eyeshadow.

4. I used a shimmery yellow color from the 88 shimmer palette by BH Cosmetics to fill in 1/3 of my eyelid starting at the inner corners.

5. I then used a bright green color from the 88 matte shadow palette by BH Cosmetics to fill in the middle of my eyelid.

6. I also used this blue color from that same palette on the outer corners of my eyes and a little bit of my crease.

7. After that, I went back to the inner corners of my eyes with a shimmery white shade and added that to the inner corners of my eyes and underneath the inner corner of my bottom lashline as well and sort of swept it up in a triangular shape over the yellow shadow.

8. To further add definition to my crease, I used a dark bluish purple and swept it all theway from the outside corner of my crease to the inside corner over the shimmery white shadow and blended it a bit out to the brow bone.

9. To complete this look, I went back with the green color and applied some of it to the middle of the bottom lashline and did the same thing with the blue color for the outside of the bottom lashline as well.

10. I used Love my Eyes Black eyeliner pencil to line my waterline and the top lashline.


11. For my eyelashes, I used Cover Girl's Lash Blast Fusion mascara in the blackest black shade.

12. After that, I added contour to my face by using the same blusher and bronzer compact  as I did in my previous tutorial.

13. And the last step was just to add some lip color. I know that this look was pretty bold as is and I could have went with a lighter shaded lipstick, but I had just run out of my lighter pink shade and all I had was this one. The same one I used in my previous tutorial, Spellbound by Cover Girl.


That's all, Folks!
I hope you enjoyed!
Once again, I apologize if it doesn't sound so lively, but I am really really tired.
I just can't stress that enough, can I? lol.
Have a good night, or day, Everyone!
See you again soon.

The next tutorial I will be doing is from a couple months ago. I called it Blue Breeze, LOL, I was lame. :P



Can't wait to redo this one as blue is the best color EVER! No, seriously<3

A TINY makeup haul at CVS

I went to CVS Pharmacy tonight just to get some new bronzer and I ended up getting three other items as well lol.

The first thing I got was the bronzer by Milani in Golden and all of the other items I got were cheapies by Wet N Wild. Cream eyeliner and two nail polishes, black and green, to match my outfit for a concert on Tuesday<3

Bronze look for Fall

MY FIRST LOOK FOR FALL
 
 
Bronzed out!
 
 
For the details on how I created this look, which is pretty simple, just keep scrolling down.

 
BTW, Please don't hate on my crappy cell cam, LOL, I'm getting a real one soon<3

 
 
 
 
::How I created this look step by step::
 
 
1. I clipped my hair back with a bobby pin for easy, uninterrupted foundation application.
 
2. I applied foundation all over my face. The type of foundation I used was Loreal's True Match Minerals in the Soft Ivory shade.
 
3. I colored in my eyebrows using the BH Cosmetics small arched brush and one of their medium brown shades from the matte palette first edition.
 
4. I used E.L.F.'s Mineral Eyeshadow Primer to prime my eyes for the best shadow application possible.
 
5. I then used E.L.F.'s Mineral Eyeshadow in Golden and applied it to the inner corners of my eyes.
 
6. I used a dark golden color from the BH Cosmetics Standard Shimmer Palette and applied it to the center of my eyelid.
 
7. I then applied a medium brown color from that same shimmer palette to the outer corners of my eyes and rounded it up into my crease.
 
8. I then used E.L.F.'s Blending brush to soften the edges of that brown color and bring it a little more up towards my brow bone.
 
9. After all of that was finished, I used a shimmery white color from the shimmer palette to add a highlight underneath my brow and over towards the inner corners of my eyes.
 
10. The next step was to add contour to my cheeks, temples, and under my jawline as well and I used E.L.F.'s Blusher/Bronzer compact and their contouring brush as well to achieve that.
 
11. I then added some blush from the bronzer compact on the apples of my cheeks and blended it out towards my hairline.
 
12. To add some highlight to the cheekbones, I used that same shimmery white shadow color and applied it to the tops of my cheekbones.
 
13. And the last and final step was to add lipstick, I chose a bold pink color because I feel I have to stand out a little in a way with such a subtle color on my lids. The lipstick shade was Spellbound by Cover Girl.
 
 
THAT'S ALL!
I hope you enjoyed this somewhat not so helpful tutorial, LOL.
Have a good day, or night, Everyone!
More tutorials coming soon.

So, I'm new to this whole blogging thing but I'm gonna try to wing it the best I can. I am an aspiring makeup artist and I wish to keep all of my work saved and also show everyone who would like to see it. So here goes, nothing. ENJOY!
