GOING TO THE GYM?

Hey.
So I was asked by another subscriber on youtube for a gym appropriate look! So I personally never wear makeup to the gym, because I hate sweating with makeup on, but for those of you who would like to wear some..Attached is a video of "gym appropriate" makeup! It is a very natural look, very minimal so if you do happen to sweat it shouldn't bother you too much! This look is also good for running to the grocery, going to school..whatev! I hope the angling is better on this video! Enjoy! Subscribe.


Also here are the products used

EYES

MAC eyeshadow in LLAMA
MAC fluidline in Blacktrack
MAC zoomlash mascara in zoomblack
MAC eyeshadow in espresso for brows


FACE

SMOKEY EYE TUTORIAL

Since posting my video on youtube a few days ago, I have actually got subscribers! Exciting!
And I have also had a makeup request from one of my subscribers as well. ENLFernandez requested a smokey look. I know there are millions and trillions tutorials and ways and different colors to use on a smokey look. But, when I think of smokey this is how I portray it in my mind, and how I go about applying it on myself. Here's my video.. It is my first tutorial (live) so please be patient with me! The angling is a little off , and you can see all in my nostril yoints! hahah. And also my choice of words at times are definitely not what I wanted to say but out of nervousness is what came out! Enjoy laughing at me. Subscribe as well!

BACK TO SCHOOL..

So, back to reality, once again it is school time. Time to go back to the life where I barely have time to breathe. Luckily, i am going to school for something I have passion and heart for. Cosmetology. Living, breathing, learning and applying it to my life. Hair, makeup, skincare the art of it all I have it 24 hours a week in a school setting ! And if you know me, it is a part of my life every single minute of my day! I also start regular school on March 2nd that's the school I dread, but I need to get this bachelors degree as soon as possible!
I will be now taking clients at cosmo school every thursday and saturday! Please contact me if you would like to come in for a cut or color! And we can definitely schedule accordingly.
Until the next time.

INAUGURATION 2009


What an amazing day in the history of the United States! The Inauguration of Barack Obama as our president. I can finally relate to the song " Proud to be an American"! We have come so far.
He truly is an amazing man. There were millions of people in Washington to witness such an eventful time in all of our lives.
Beyonce shed a few tears on how he has changed her life, and how he has made such an impact on the world already. She was talking about how he makes her want to be involved. And honestly, this is the first inauguration I have ever really cared to watch, and I am so glad I did.
I love our new president! I know he has big plans for our country, and I have no doubt in my mind that he will achieve the goals to make this a better place.
With that said..." Obama.Obama.Obama. A milli. A milli. A milli"
hahaha.
YES WE CAN!

YOUTUBE CONTEST!

So, I always find myself on you tube until the wee hours of the morning watching makeup tutorials. While i'm watching 'm learning new tips and tricks and in the back of my head I'm always thinking I want to make one! But, for some reason I just never had the balls to do it because I don't think i'm fun enough! Haha anyways one of the girls who does tutorials eyexluvxmakeup is having a contest! And for the first time ever I think I am going to stop being shy and enter! The theme of her contest is 80's, and since I am an 80's baby and have went to numerous 80's parties I might just do okay since I am slightly familiar with it! And of course no better inspiration then Betsey Johnson, Cindy Lauper and Madonna right!? The epitome of 80's with their amazing style and Girls Rule attitude! Here are some pictures that inspired me! I will definitely show you what I came up with and if I really went through with it! Wish me luck. I will update you guys sooner than later! Until the next time..

AMAZiNG LiPSTiCK BY YSL


This has to be one of the most amazing lipsticks that I have found in a long time! I am not really a lipstick girl, but this formula makes me want to purchase every single color there is. It has an awesome consistency, with a payoff of 120%! It is super creamy, hydrating and best of all it has an SPF of 15! It is $34.00 but it is worth every penny. Step into a Sephora store, or a YSL counter and test it out! Guaranteed you will be in LOVE! Check out the many colors @ yslbeautyus.com.
MUST HAVES i TELL YOU!

HAPPY 2009!

Another year has come and gone! It seems as if there is not enough hours in the day to do what needs to be done! Last year this time I was pregnant anticipating the arrival of my daughter and here she is now 8 months old, 2 teeth, growing and learning faster than I could ever imagine. This past Christmas had to be the best Christmas ever, not only did my Mom surprise me with a car for Christmas but I received a Canon Digital SLR from Jay, so that I can capture every memorable moment in my daughters life! Soo exciting.

One more week until Cosmo school starts up again! I can't wait to see everyone. I miss my classmates! When i go back to school I am literally there for a week and then it is time prepare myself for the biggest hair show in the west coast! The ISSE show in long beach, it's going to be amazing. So many techniques to learn and goodies to buy it is definitely going to be a wonderful experience !
Can't Wait!

Good night. I have to conduct a training tomorrow at Sephora in the AM.
Till the next time.
Ciao!
