FOTD: Suicide Pinup

Hey all (:

I was going through some blogs and I found a pinup tutorial! [Check Chrissy's look out] I've always wanted to post up a pinup look on here and everytime I've attempted one and took picture my camera always washed out the colors since they were basically skintone.

When I think of pinup makeup I think flawless skin, contoured face, bold brows, red lip, and a matte defined eye.

I didn't use flash this time and used my lighted vanity mirror for lighting and it turned out pretty good! I even attempted a suicide roll for you, which by the way FAILED miserably. The end result was my fourth time and it still wasn't smooth!

Apologizing in advance since I also cam-whored a bit because I haven't done an actual look in a LONG time :D

Face

• NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Stromboli
• Make Up For Ever HD Powder
• Laura Mercier Secret Concealer in Medium
• Benefit Hoola Bronzer

Lips

• Prestige Lipliner in Amore
• MAC Mattene Lipstick in Eden Rouge

Eyes

• NARS Smudgeproof Primer
• Urban Decay NAKED2 Palette (Foxy, Bootycall)
• Urban Decay NAKED Palette (Virgin, Naked, Buck)
• MAC Eyeshadow in Espresso and Carbon
• Physician's Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner in Ultra Black
• Dior Diorshow Iconic Mascara
• Ardell Wispies False Eyelashes ....I DIDN'T USE LASH GLUE! LOL
• Anastasia Brow Duo in Medium Ash

Next picture was just a random unattractive picture but whatever! lol

Hopefully this will be a trend for 2012, me getting back to posting FOTD's! I really enjoyed getting dolled up just to take it all off and go to sleep. With the stress of school and work coming up I'm sure blogging would be a great way to relieve stress just hopefully I will have enough time!

Have a good day everyone!

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012!

 Happy New Years everyone! (:

I hope the new year is treating everyone good! Every year I literally do nothing for New Years Eve. I usually just stay home but this year my friend invited me to take a family trip to Wichita, Kansas!

We stayed at his aunt's lakehouse. I only snapped a few pictures while I was there because there was literally nothing to take photos of since we were there for about a day and half >__<

 It was suuuuper cold. I only brought a light cardigan since I was thinking "Texas weather." I guess I didn't realize where we were staying!

His puppy Momo! He's such a cutie, his hair is sooo long that it just blows in the breeze lol! He looks like he's gonna sweep the floor sometimes too :)

 This is my friend Kiet. He has long hair also that I sometimes straighten LOL.

 The photo below I think is very interesting.... I tried to enlarge it so you can all see!

 We both have iPhones... my phone has a tokidoki case which I purchased from sephora. His is PINK!

Here's the makeup for the day. I did a simple, not so dark look using the NAKED2 palette! It was just a little more for definition that you can't see in the photo lol.

 This is my friend and I! I'm in serious need of a haircut yet haven't made my way to the salon yet...

We were also in need of an eyebrow touchup. I actually took care of this the next day :P

What was there to do in Kansas? NOTHINGGG. The previous night when we arrived we ended up playing hide&seek in the dark. It was actually pretty fun! The next day we went to the mall. THERE WERE NO STORES WORTH LOOKING IN!!! I ended up at Victoria's Secret for their 7/$25 panty raid they had and that's all I ended up with. We also ended up eating at Outback Steakhouse and I would've had food pictures but I didn't want to embarrass their family by whipping out my camera lol :)

When the clock struck 12, I was knocked out in the car since we were driving back. Soooo technically I didn't do much for New Year's but I did a lot more than normal. PLUS I got to visit a new state! ^__^

I have another post I'm working on. I was INSPIRED to do makeup and I've already done it and taken photos just gotta build the post and resize everything. I'm really excited about that one but I've gotta head to bed now because I need to be up in a couple of hours >__<

Some random FOTD's

 Hey everyone :) Merry late Christmas! I hope everyone got to spend it with the ones they love, I know I did.

Lately my makeup has been neutral and boring, I even used some olives one day! :D I guess my statement is more of lips -__-" I have been staying away from home lately so I haven't had my full makeup drawers at my disposal.

THIS IS WHERE MY NAKED PALETTE COMES IN ;D I can't say how much I love this palette, and now that I own NAKED2 I love that one even more... (I will make a post soon, no more iPhone blogging because my camera doesn't focus anymore and my battery is currently charging)

Here's a neutral eye I put together, I had some CRAZY sparkles on that day and tried to capture it but no luck so no point on posting that! I actually put on nude lipstick which is a shocker to me because I haven't done nude in a while >__<

I curled my hair that day with the HANA 1" Professional straightener. I thought I failed miserably, but I got a lot of compliments that night! ^__~

The next fotd was with second day hair -___-" I didn't feel my hair was oily enough to wash so I just went with it. BAD IDEA, it got so oily later that day... I should really carry dry shampoo on me but I don't have a preferred one though I've only tried a couple. I'm very picky because I prefer the colorless ones...
Any dry shampoo recommendations for dark hair?

I sported the red lip for almost a week straight, it was so weird taking it off! Again, used the NAKED palette again that day. It's so difficult to eat when you want your lipstick to stay on!

I have a lot of posts planned out in my head, just gotta charge up my camera! I also hit the CVS sale they're having O__O... I got a few things I've been wanting but didn't want to cough up the money lol so that will be my next few posts soon, hopefully!

Have a safe New Year if I don't make it in time ^__~

Review: HANA Titanium 1.5" Flat Iron

Hello lovelies! :) I KNOW I've really been slacking on my blogging, especially with no post for November, but here I am now *waves* I've been busy with who knows what, I'm even curious to what I've been doing...

I was contacted by Brian from misikko.com to do a review on the HANA Titanium 1.5" Flat Iron. I've been looking for a bigger flat iron for quicker straightening and this was the perfect opportunity!

Here's the package:

Misikko always has the most generous packaging, from other blogs and personal experience they've always included freebies in their packages!

The flatiron comes inside of a pouch, inside of the metal box. It also comes with a silicon mat to set your straightener on when you're using it so that you won't damage any surfaces with the heat.

The straightener has a swivel cord which moves with you to prevent memory forming in the cord and keeps it tangle-free! (I REALLY hate when there's memory in my cords..) There's also an adjustable heat setting!

Some of the freebies they included...

There were also a few makeup products from LA Colors but for some reason I didn't get it in the picture.

Alright, I know a post isn't the same without some pictures of the product in action! I know my hair is pretty straight already but it flips in and out in different directions and doesn't look pulled together.

My facial expression looked really goofy and fake so I had to blur it out :P I didn't use any heat protectant and it's still shiny! ^__^

From the back of my head it looks really messy.. lol

Everytime I straighten my hair people always ask if I just got my hair cut. That really tells you I never do my hair! XD

Overall I really enjoyed using this straightener! It's definitely become a staple in the products I use daily. If you're not interested in the HANA Titanium, misikko also carries a variety of products such as hair dryers, other flat irons, and even the model in a bottle! Their newest addition to the HANA family is their Air hair dryer :)

Hopefully this review was helpful and I hope you guys check out some of their stuff ^__^!

See you gals in the next post!
