Hi Bellas,

Last night I went to sleep late and really paid for it  That’s what happens when you take a 3 hour nap after work he he. When I got up however, I was really productive. I cooked, laid out my work clothes, packed my lunch, and filed another video. I filmed my urban decay deluxe eyeshadow look #2. I pretty much finished editing it as well except for adding music and a few titles. What you guys might not see is that in a lot of my videos I sit there looking for products, sometimes wander off into space, watch the TV, basically waste airtime. I have to edit these moments out which are sometimes several minutes so that I can stay around the 10 minute deadline for youtube. My look was very cotton candy inspired-pink, blue, and purple. I put on some falsies, which I haven’t worn in a few weeks so it was a little awkward at first. If I had to choose my favorite falsies, I would choose Ardell Invisiband Wispies.



They are so lightweight they don’t make your eyes feel like they’re weighted down like other falsies. The invisiband helps it blend better and the lashes are long and curled enough to give a dramatic effect. I’ll probably post this sometime next week or so since I still need to post my Shiseido Mascara Base Review and Hot Hepcat look this week.

I’ve been a lot better about catching up on my blog reading . It may be because the BF is out of town so I have more time, but I love seeing what you ladies are coming up with. It really inspires me to try new techniques and what not. One look I want to replicate is putting a dark crease color on the inside 1/3 of the crease and the outside 1/3 of the crease, leaving the middle blank. I’ve seen PowPowBaby and Verdge do this look and I likey!

Well I’m back to work, writing this on the DL, take care bellas!

Hi Bellas,

How was your weekend? It went by way too fast for me. I caught up on my sleep so I should be back on track this week. This Saturday my roomy and I went to the park to do a nature trail shindig that was a couple of miles long. We didn’t even jog it, just power-walked, but I am sooo sore! It’s probably since I haven’t worked out since around November. On top of it all, the trail was super rugged at points and there was a lot of terrain and jumping up, down, and around tree stubs. My joints are sore! I think I’m getting old at the ripe age of 24. However, this has somewhat motivated me to get my workout on. I need to find a way to reintegrate this into my life. I used to work out during lunch until around November when I was reprimanded at work for my extra long lunches  I’m definitely not a morning person. I think I’ll try to do maybe 20 minute quick workouts at the gym across the street. That way I have enough time to come back to work within my hour limit.

I also had my little book club meeting that my friends and I hold every month and a half or so. I picked a novel by Iris Chang called “The Rape of Nanking”. Have any of you ever heard of it? It’s about the Chinese holocaust of the 1930’s that many people do not know about. It was pretty intense…especially since my group usually reads fiction. This was historical non-fiction with many pages of gruesome scenes. However, it was a really deep discussion. Good times!

My boyfriend left to go back home this weekend…he’s coming back today or tomorrow. He went to visit his sister back home in New Orleans. They’ve moved her from the ICU to another hospital which is more long-term. No major improvements so far, she’s still in a coma. But please continue to pray for her.

This weekend I was able to do a couple of video requests. I filmed and finished editing my MAC brushes video. Also on the cutting room floor is my Basics of Eyeshadow Blending Video. I still need to add my music to that one and render it though. Next on my list are a skin routine video and then another urban decay eyeshadow look. However, I still have a hepcat look tutorial and shisheido mascara base review that I haven’t uploaded to youtube this week. That will come this week.

In the meantime, here’s part II of viewer questions answered. Ta ta!

Hello Beautiful Bloggers,

So I’ve made a few videos that I haven’t had time to post on the blog. One was on starsmakeuphaven.com, a fabulous website! And another is part 1 of viewer questions. Sometimes I’m a lazy bum and it’s hard for me to respond timely to some of the questions I get via my yahoo mail and youtube inbox, sorry guys! But believe me, I am not complaining one bit…I’m glad to get so much positive feedback, it blows my mind sometimes.

I think being on vacation threw me off my regular groove because as I was editing my answering questions video I got all lazy with it and just cut it into two parts instead of doing one video, which I usually prefer to do. I also don’t want to cut short some of my answers because I want to make sure I come across clear you know?

So I’m going to post questions part II tonight. After that, expect a Hepcat Look video as well as a review on Shiseido Mascara Base. Those videos have been done, just waiting to upload them.

Upcoming videos I’ll be working on:
1) skin routine
2) MAC brushes video
3) How to blend eyeshadow tutorial
4) Curly Hair tutorial
5) Another urban decay eyeshadow look

Any requests, send them my way  I love you guys!

Hey guys! Did you miss me? For those of you who didn't know, I was out of town for about a week visiting some family in Cali. Sorry I wasn't really able to check any posts because I was only able to use the internet for about 5 minutes the whole trip...just wanted to let you know i'm back and ready to partayyyyyyy, lol, j/k that was super corny. Honestly, I'm still feeling the jet lag. I got home yesterday about 10pm atlanta time and had to go to work this morning. I wish I had taken an additional day off to recover because I am sooooo delirious right now. Tonight I need to go home and just sleep and recover...but after that i'll be back with more posts :)
