DIY Beauty

So lately I've been really into DIY beauty. I ordered some Glamour Doll eyeshadows last month and I decided that when I get them I am going to press them to save space in my makeup box. I also plan on ordering a Z Palette to put all of my shadows in. I have been depoting all of my duos and palettes so that I can put them in there. (I have a lot of eyeshadow lol) I was also thinking about depoting my lipgloss but I think I'm going to wait to do that. I'm extremely excited and I think that pressing my shadows will make them more vibrant and it will definitely reduce the fall out which I hate :) There will be lots more tutorials when I get my shadows and I have a few makeup tutorials in mind. :)

Hair Story

So recently I've been thinking about cutting all of my hair off. I've had a few negative opinions about it and a few very positive ones but at the end of the day MY opinion is the only one that matters because it's MY hair. I am not deciding to do this as a movement or as a soul searching thing I am doing this because I am tired of doing stuff to my hair and being disappointed with the results. My hair has become extremely dry and some of it is breaking off and I feel like the best thing for it would be to start all over and cut off the relaxed parts and grow it back out. Eventually I think I would like to grow it back out to my current hair cut but for now I need to try something different because I want my hair to be healthy. I plan on getting it cut by the end of September. Here's a picture of how I want to get it cut.

Please check out her store she has some really nice pigments. Enjoy the tutorial.

Hime White Board Tutorial

Here's the Hime style white board tutorial. Enjoy!

UPDATE!!!

Sorry it's been so long since my last post. I've been trying to find a job. I finally got one though so I will hopefully be able to start posting some more videos and makeup tutorials again soon. I recently recorded the Hime White Board tutorial but I haven't had time to edit it.

I'm going to buy some products from the MAC To the Beach collection when I get my paycheck and I also hope to buy some products from Sugarpill Cosmetics so I'll be doing some reviews on them when I get them.

There are also going to be some more circle lens reviews. I plan on getting some more pink ones from Tokio Shine soon. I love that everyone's comming out with pink circle lenses.

I'm also going to be working on my portfolio for design school so I'll post pictures as I go for that. I'll see you all soon! :)

One Step Closer

I was looking through my pictures of the clothing I've made. I can't believe how far I've come. I went from just reconstructing t-shirts to making jeans, dresses, and sweatshirts. I can't wait to go to SCAD to increase my knowledge of the industry and how to broaden my portfolio. I'm on my way to the top and I won't stop till I reach the top. I want to own my own boutique one day in Atlanta. I want my clothes to be for every one. Every size, every color, and every social class. I can't wait to make my dream come true. I'm about to graduate tomorrow from college and I'm going to start a brand new chapter in my life. I'm so excited!

Miley Cyrus/ Max Azria Tank Top Tutorial

So when I went to Walmart I fell in love with the Miley Cyrus Max Azria tank top that I saw. I HAD to make one. My version isn't exactly the same but it's super cute. It's a simple tank top that's shirred in the back and I embellished it with a studded, punky bow! :) Enjoy!

Blue and Purple makekup tutorial

Here's another makeup tutorial for you guys. It's a purple and blue smoky eye. I used a pallett from Sephora and the Maybelline Stylish Smokes quad in Amythest Smokes. The rest of the products used are in the video below. Enjoy! :)

Geo Tri-Color Green Circle Lenses

So recently I bought some lenses from http://www.honeycolor.com/ I also bought a case for them. These lenses got here super quick.

I really like the color on these lenses. It's pretty natural. These lenses are also really comfortable. They get a 10/10 for color and comfort. They don't enlarge at all though which is fine with me :)

Here's a picture of the lenses in natural lighting:



Here's a picture with the flash:

Here's the youtube video review.


Check out the website and I'll see y'all soon with a makeup tutorial :)

My sister is doing the shoot with me so I'm oober excited about that. :) I'll post those pictures up as soon as I have them. I'll also post her website so y'all can see how amazingly talented she is!!!

I've ordered another pair of circle lenses and they should be arriving next week so i'll post a review on those when I get them.

I also would like to post a craft tutorial soon. I think it's going to be one on how to decorate a whiteboard....HIME GYARU style!!! :) I want to post a hime gyaru makeup tutorial for African-American skin and a "Barbie" make up look as well.

Candy Lens review

I recently recieved some lenses from candylens.com and I have to say I really like this site. Right now Candy Lens is having a promotion where each pair of lenses ordered comes with a FREE cute animal case. With each order Candy Lens also sends a "Thank You" card which makes me feel like they truely care about their customers.

The first pair of lenses I bought were the Colorview Fusion Hazel/Yellow. When I was looking at the picture on the website I thought these lenses would be really bright but when I put them on they were surprisingly subtle. With these lenses I got a pink bear case.

Here's a picture of my natural eyes.

Here's a picture of my natural eye (left) and my eye with the lens (right)

Here's a picture with both of the lenses in.

Comfort: 8/10 I have had some discomfort from these lenses but it's not all the time.

Color: 10/10 I love that they're so subtle.

Enlargement: 0/10 I don't really think they're enlarging at all

Overall: 9/10 The only problem I have with these lenses are comfort but other than that I really like them.

The second piar of lenses I ordered from this site are the Hana SPC Barbie Brown Lenses. I just received these lenses today. I got them because I wanted some lenses that didn't look like I was wearing anything at all. These are PERFECT for that! I got a blue fish to go with these (I had to put hearts on them so i could tell them apart from my other blue fishy case :P) These lenses also came in a cute gift box which I will probably use for jewlery now :)

Here are the little vials that the lenses come in.

Here's a picture of my natural eye and my eye with the lens in.

Here is a picture of both of the lenses in.


Comfort: 10/10 These lenses are super comfortable

Color: 10/10 I love the color. They look super natural.

Enlargement: 10/10 These lenses are HUGE!!! They make me look super dolly :)

Overall: 10/10 These lenses are awesome! They're exactly what I ordered.

Tokio Shine Review

So Recently I purchased some Geo CK-107 circle lenses from Tokio Shine. I thought that black lenses would look weird on me at first but these lenses are really cool! Tokio Shine just opened in February and I love their service. The shipping from Tokio Shine was extremely fast because they're based in California. They got here in about a week. All lenses also come with a free hello kitty case. They are currently having a promotion where you can buy 5 pairs of lenses and you get the 6th one free. Shipping is $3.50 and all lenses are extremely affordable ($19.99-$29.99).

Here are the actual lenses

Here's a picture of my eye with the lens (left) and my natural eye (right). These lenses are SUPER enlarging.

Here's a picture of the lenses without the flash with me sitting next to a window

Here's a picture of the lenses with a flash

Comfort: 10/10 I haven't had any problems with the lenses comfort wise. They're really comfortable.

Enlargement: 10/10 They are really enlarging. They make the ey really doll like. I'm still trying to get used to them.

Color: 10/10 These lenses are very true to color. They make my eye really dark with a hint of my natural brown in the middle.

Overall: 10/10 I really like these lenses. The color isn't weird because my natural eye color is so dark. The enlargement is a little unnatural but they still look ok.
