Long time! & Yes I am still alive!!!

2011-10-24T18:47:00.000-07:00

Wow, it has been a really long time since I've blogged and I actually really miss it... So much has gone on the past year and a half. I received my Bachelor's degree in Education last fall 2010 and I'm teaching science at a high school so I'm hoping blogging can be my stress reliever from the duties of a teacher. I guess one thing I can do to make up for the lost of time is post a recent picture along with my most recent video on youtube.

This tutorial is on how to create a simple everyday look! I know I need to work on the length of my videos

Everyday Summer Day Look

2010-07-09T08:30:00.000-07:00

So this is my "EVERYDAY SUMMER LOOK" mostly for indoors... It is soooooo simple and barely any creativity. The reasons being is that..

1. Guam. The island I live on is extraaa hot and humid in the summer, and trust me I've got to stay in an air conditioned room in order for my make-up not to run. ( I just recently bought sweat-proof make-up and I shall test it out lol)

2. Wearing crazy looks during the day, especially in the summer is too dramatic.

3. It's really a no fuss look. Since the eyeshadow colors are so easy to blend with each other.

I used a really pretty make-up palette that I bought at a store called "Javani Beauty" where they sell organic and anti-paraben products. I really love the make-up they have... They are sooo pigmented and supposedly chemically safe.

I need to do a haul blog and reviews on some products. I will be doing a review on this and possibly a make-up video tutorial.

I need to buy a camcorder and a new digital camera.. I only have my DSLR... Anybody have suggestions on great compact digital cams and camcorders?

I could make it more dramatic by putting more color on, but I wanted to keep it simple.

A side view of the blush which may not be noticeable. It is a gorgeous light pink color with golden specks... It really makes my face glow and cheeks light up.

This is the make-up palette I used by Bella Il Fiore. It is called the "Tropique Face Palette". They have gorgeous great make-up!!! Really pigmented eye-shadows... I bought this palette for $28.00.

Perfect golden Summer colors.

MY RATING FOR THIS PALETTE

The only down side for this palette is the lipstick or lipgloss. It is very sticky, so I did not even bother on wearing it... I would wear it but I just was not in the mood to have pretty sticky lips lol. which kind of brings my rating for this product down.

GRADE: A-

BACK FROM THE DEAD!

2010-05-24T19:21:00.001-07:00

HEY EVERYONE!!!! I MISSED YOU ALL!!!! I KNOW THIS IS THE BILLIONTH TIME I WENT ON HIATUS! BIG BIG APOLOGIES.... GAHH I FEEL SO TERRIBLE....

EOTN: Bronze Yellow

My eyes were blood shot. Tried to fix the redness.

Oh my Gosh.... It has been forever. I changed my blogname... ( JUST CHANGED IT BACK) and all my comments from all my posts were deleted! (THEY CAME BACK WHEN I CHANGED BACK TO MY OLD NAME) Sucks... Cause now I don't think anyone can view my updates now.... Maybe it has to deal with me not updating my blog... UGHHHH

I am not sure if anyone will visit my blog now since I'm slowly coming back... Alot has happened since February! 6 classes, my brother in the hospital, getting ready for student teaching and hoping to graduate next semester *sigh. I hope I do not lose my passion for make-up blogging. I am also considering of making youtube videos... We shall see!

But just to update everyone... I have a new vanity that I want to show you! Also the address I placed on the photo is wrong haha!!! I'm so dumb lol. It's missing a "21" at the end.

I bought this at Kmart for $140 I think. The middle drawer's knob thing is broken. Freaking cheap crap lol.

Mirror Mirror....

Face Brushes.

Eye brushes.

I am striving to be more dedicated like before...

MY favorite Outfits with Black Skinny Jeans/Leggings

2009-12-26T05:28:00.000-08:00

Okay, besides my usual blog slagging I thought I'd post my four favorite outfits using my black skinny jeans/Black leggings. I'm more of the simple gal... I wish I were more daring, but with my disgusting flabs I refuse to humiliate myself by wearing clothes meant for the darling skinny women. My husband would sooo slap me (my butt of course!) if he read what I just put down... But seriously, I have my ideal weight and I am not trying to offend anyone! It's just FOR ME, I would love to wear a size 3 at the LEAST and be 105-110 lbs. I'm a size 9 with ALOT OF JUNK IN MY TRUNK and thunder thighs of course. Yes I am PEAR shaped =[ sadly... People think I'm lying when I tell them about my chubby-ness. I guess I just have a great way of hiding my cookie stuffed body parts. LOL.

ANYWAYS! Moving back to the outfits!

Somehow I always Opt for black skinnies/black leggings with thick/chunky heels. I guess it makes me feel sexier in my bottom heavy body type. When I try on other colors I look like a stuffed sausage (Ew).

My off the shoulder white top... I am in loveee with this shirt and I love wearing it with my black skinnies. Oh and notice my fringe! I had it for only a week before it started to poke my eyeballs! (October 2009)

My friends and hubby loved this one the most lol... i'm guessing my strappy heels were the ones that really pulled it together. (August 2009)

All black for a night out with my hubby and friends... (October 2009)

I wore this a few days ago and it's prolly my most favorite outfit! (December 2009)

So Black skinny jeans are one of my ultimate must-haves! And it should darn right be in EVERY woman's closet... Well, not every woman, like my grandma lol...

Neutral light pink and brown

2009-12-19T04:40:00.000-08:00

Goodness gracious... Okay I now know what one of my New Year's resolution is, and it is to definitely update every freaking day! Well, at least every other day... (LOL) UGH!It's just so hard for me to be consistent. I have school,work,practicum (teacher internship), my husband, my in-laws, my side of the family, and my girlfriends who are constantly nagging me to chill with them lol... I'm telling you I forgot for two whole months that I even had a blog! I have a Christmas break so there should be no excuse for me to miss over a day of blogging lol. Well I might blah lol. But I have to think positive!!!

Moving on, the above look was a very subtle and neutral look I did for a double date with my friend and her boyfriend. I was wearing a pretty satin pink and brown color block dress and I did not feel like having DRAMA make-up. hehe...

I also did some camera whoring. LOL. The Japanese contacts make my eyes so cute and anime like

My baby and I! He already has gorgeous glowing brown eyes! Not fair!

Trying too hard to be "SEXY" lol. I thought it was funny...

Chun Li getting Married!

2009-11-18T04:43:00.000-08:00

Okay this is wayy over due lol... I never really had the chance to show my halloween pics lol... Well I don't celebrate Halloween for relgious reasons... And so I dressed up for the "Special Olympics: Bowling" which did take place on Halloween day but was more of an event for children with special needs to have a great holiday bowling!

So here is the look!!! And can you guess who this was inspired from? NONE OTHER THAN THE BEAUTIFUL "MICHELLE PHAN". However, I did not have patience to glue the flowers onto my face so I just put them in my hair. Also, these were the exact artificial orchids that were in my hair on my wedding day =].

I know Halloween is like eons ago... But I just thought I'd post it for fun and try to get back on track lmao.

I am also testing out my new Nudy Grey's! I love them, they make my eyes so pretty! If only they could be my real eyes lol...

I'm also using my wedding dress hehe.. Re-using here! =]

Oh and this is my first attempt in doing nail art. The lines are so yucky but at least I tried! And the jewel is just a japanese sticker =]

CHLOE SHADES!

2009-10-16T22:26:00.000-07:00

I'm back again haha...

Okay so I splurged just a little for these... I freakingggg love them!!!

CHLOE CL2119 in Ivory... OMG I went to Chloe last week and when I saw them, I tried them on, and I was like *gasp CUTEEEEEEE!!!! So me being an impulsive shopper that I am and having such a stressful semester, I had Had HAD HAAAAAD to get them! My husband thinks I'm nuts, and that I should've just blown the money on clothes and shoes than one pair of sunglasses lol....I bought it for $290.00. But heyyyy it's Chloe! I also believe some celebs have this pair of shades, like lindsey,nichole, mischa, jlo, LC, there are more, but who cares... It is soooo NOT the reason why I bought them! I love how they frame my face and how big the lenses are! Well, here are some camera-whoring... i hope I do not come off as a show-off. I just really love them lol....

2009-05-24T05:09:00.000-07:00

The Hubby took me shopping again the other day! Hehe... I love Summer... More time to shop...

Anyways... went to one of my favorite stores, "ROSS"... Haha, Ugh it's always so freaking packeddd. I almost got into with this one chick! She tried to take the clothes I had in my shopping cart. I was like, "Excuse me, I'm buying those"... and she's like "Oh, I was JUST looking at them" and then she walked away with a bad look on her face. CHHHH... yea that's riiiiight ^@#$%, walk away!!! Just Looking at it my ass. You were about to jock my shit!

Just kidding... But has this happened to anyone????

Just cause I found it first, don't mean you have to be a hater about it. The nerve of people!!! Go look on the racks, not anyone else's shopping carts! Sheesh...

I just thought I might take that off my chest lol...

And I didn't buy anything extravagant, just some casual clothes to wear for summer school...I still need to buy more though...

I liked the flower print and how colorful it was. THE HUBBY HATES IT! HAHA... He said it reminds him of a grandma... LOVES IT! haha...

OK, so this is the hubby's favorite shirt... I love it too, the colors are eye catching and the back is a silhouette of a fairy... Very pretty..

I love this shirt! It's houndstooth print, in black and pink! Can't get any cuter than that!

I love loose shirts! This purple, square neck, diagonal shirt is uberrr cute! I hate things tugging on my tummy... But I don't like things too baggy either...

I bought this shirt cause I thought it was cute with its print. The husband thinks I'm going back into my punk rock days... hahaha....

Again, another loose shirt. This looks so big in picture, but what I love about these shirts is when dressed with the right accessories, skinny jeans and heels. It's gonna be hella cute.

The colors look yuck in the photo... But it's super cute... I think of little school girlish. The hubby loves this shirt too... hehe

And I had to buy this cute pink/brown vintage print make-up bags! My MAC HK make-up bag needs a rest lol. I love the different sizes of this one! I'll most likely be using the second one. I could use the big one either for traveling or for school! Pencil case hehe.

I bought these items elsewhere.

I bought this HK looking bow barette for $3.00 at a cute hair accessory stand

Chunky glittery heart hair tye.

I'm getting into hats. I love this Peace Hat. Got it at American Vintage for $30.00.

Make-up time!

I love this! I used it in my FOTD last time... Hot pink. cool blue and cherry

My first falsies! Can you believe it! I want to get more!!!

Sparkling Bronze

"Harem" This color is gorgeous! It reminds me of the HK lipstick "Strayin"

Just refilled on my daily MAC NC40 powder plus foundation, and i finally gave in and bought the FIX+ROSE! I LOVE IT!!! IT feels soooo good!!!!

And this is pretty much it for now... hehe....

MY BABY MAKE-UP COLLECTION

2009-04-28T09:27:00.000-07:00

So Mz.Shar tagged me last week on posting my make-up collection. GAH I am soo embarrassed! But I gotta do what I gotta dooo... hah. Please don't make me feel bad okay! I feel bad enough as it is that I don't have that much lol. I promise it will grow bigger! As soon as my hubby is convinced that the people from Coastal scents won't do anything bad with his credit card number. SERIOUSLY. He told me that we need to make a bank account specifically for ordering online. He's so paranoid... Can anyone give me any advice on ordering online. I'm so primitive to this stuff. I so want to order online since Guam really sucks with all the stores we got over here.

Well enough with the talk. Here is my baby make-up collection. It will be full grown one day. Hopefully, my stuff won't expire by then... OH WELL...

Eyeshadows,Pigments, Paint pots (my green milani eyeshadows broke when i dropped it *tear)

Eyeliners and mascaras. I love L'oreal I guess I never really experienced with any other mascaras.

Powders. I forgot to put in my blushes. I also save my old MAC compacts you know for freebies...

My Lippies

My Brushes. Yes I never used it yet... Except for my blush brush. I need time from school in order to experiment. lol.

This is just everything I accumulated from MAC. MY MAC collection be as it may. It's growing...

Well I hope you enjoyed my sad make-up collection lol... I shall post another one when I feel the need to lol... SO that's off my to-do list lol.

Beauty school ponderings- 1st entry

2009-04-25T04:13:00.000-07:00

So a couple of weeks ago I bought me quite a load of brushes at MAC. It did some major damage to my wallet, let me tell you.

Charisma, one of the MAC reps gave me this oh so cute tote! Thanks girl!

MAC: 187, 129, 217, 219, 275, 239, 242

I know I am supposed to do the tag Shar placed upon my oh so small and embarassing make-up collection. But I shall promise to do so tommorow!

WHY????

Well, because I am going to MAC tommorow! & I can add a few more to its oh so small development! hahaha... I've been waiting for the hubby to get paid and he promised to get me some stuff lol... The one thing I love about him is he actually gives me opinions when we're at MAC. He'll tell me "babe you should get this purple one... or try this color"Sometimes I don't like his choices but I always acknowledge him for trying... We both try to get into each others hobbies. Like I am sooo not a fix-a-car kinda gal, but I really try. Hey I know how to check the oil and put it in. hahaha... Changing the tire is next lol.

My Baby's car. Isn't it sexy? LOL. He says no, it's gangstaa.. whatev! haha.

I know I haven't been blogging for these past few days. Trust me, my life was just so damn hectic... I'm talking, "pulling your hair out hectic!" I'm a future elementary school teacher and I've been working on my lesson plans and teaching in actual classrooms. Its loads of fun but its stressful, I guess in my situation because I'm still a rookie and I am still trying to find my own style in teaching. I hate to say this, but sometimes I wonder if I should've just went to beauty school or even try to apply to fashion school. I'm just so into it right now that I find myself daydreaming in school of going to MAC to buy something or thinking of ways to play with my hair lol. Of course millions of girls dream to go to these schools.. But I guess the drive wasn't there from the beginning but its kicking in me. We'll see... Maybe I'll pursue it after I get my BA in elementary education. Which would be funny... But I could teach while going to beauty school... Its just for fun...
