Dior Event

So a Dior National was at our store the other day, and I got my makeup done. It was pretty cool learning some tips and tricks from him! Plus, he was such a sweetie too!

Tokidoki Weekend

Tokidoki weekend came and went and now we're gearing up for Temptu weekend, but here's the past looks anyway:

TEMPTU

Heya Peeps!

So I was fooling around at Sephora today and got to try out Temptu. I've always been curious about airbrushed makeup, but didn't want to bother anybody about it to get the machine out, or never came in early enough to try it on my own...voila! I got it done today, and I must say, it is quite nice. I pretty much did my whole face in 5 min or less (that's including the time it takes for it to set and dry a little). It's quick, easy, and goes from very sheer to a buildable full coverage. I also got my blush and highlighting done as well. It usually takes me 10-20 min (depending on the kind of coverage I want) for me to do skin/foundation so this quick method is very convenient. The pods are pretty easy to change out (they basically pop on and off), and they've got a variety of shades to match. What they DO NOT have a variety of, however, is color such as blushes and no shadows, but I think those are probably going to come out at some point or another.

DUN DUN DUN!

I LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEEE! \^0^/


Hello Everyone (Who May Still Read This?),

I know I've been seriously MIA...and there's nothing I can really say to excuse it. =/ Life got pretty busy, went through a lot of changes, and I just couldn't keep up with blogger anymore. Not like none of you ladies (and gents) have busy lives, but I just couldn't find the time to blog. Hope everyone's doing well and that you'll forgive me for my absence!

As far as makeup goes, for the past year or so I haven't really been wearing much makeup at all (also contributing to the lack of posts). I wasn't really feeling it with the posts. My skin had gotten so bad that every time I'd make a post, I just didn't feel confident enough posting on my blog anymore. It made me really lazy with my makeup. Pretty much, I'd slap on some powder and eyeliner and call it a day.

I'm still no less busy than I was before. In fact, I'm even busier. I've got two jobs that pretty much eat up my life, but it leads me to this very important point:

SO one of the jobs that I have is at Sephora!! YAY! I'm only on cashier, but they're moving me up to color STAT  I've already started doing mini makeups on people and haven't been Sephora trained yet. ^_^ I'm seriously loving working there and, since I can't afford to be lazy with my makeup anymore, I've been doing quite a few FOTDs lately. I thought I'd share the quick pics that I've taken here and there of some of the looks that I've done so far. I'm going to try and do more mini posts so keep your fingers crossed and lemme know what you guys think! 

Random FOTDs etc.

Is anybody having trouble with their layouts when posting? My pictures won't resize properly for some strange reason so I apologize for how big and out-of-sorts they are, but they just refuse to be fixed!

Anyways, thought I'd get this started again with some FOTDs from the weekend. Unfortunately, both these looks were taken at the end of the day so my makeup looks a little worn off. I apologize! It's taken me a while to work up the courage and actually post full FOTDs here again because my skin has been a big ol' piece of crap lately =/. I'm thinking of using EDM, but don't really know what colors to pick from the free sample set you can get. Anybody have any suggestions?

Okay, on to the FOTDs:

Did you miss me?

I'm back and I has a new domain courtesy of a wonderful friend! =)

clickme!


Update your pages/bookmarks/whatever and updates to come shortly!

Belated Ode to Summer Lost

As the title says, this is a severely delayed FOTD from some of the summer looks that I had lined up. Alas, I didn't do all that I had planned, but, who knows, maybe I'll still do them anyways hehe. Fall is by far my most favorite season of the year, not only for the weather, but also for the colors and the fashion! I want to pimp out the brown faze I'm currently fixated upon and come up with a bunch of looks for the season! =)

Anyshoe, here is the last FOTD that I did prior to my brief hiatus. You can really see how long my hair has gotten, o_O and it's even longer still. I swear, my hair grows like an effing weed...



As you can see...I don't think blue shadows are the greatest color on me.... =/ Still trying to make it work. I think it's because I have a lot of blue undertones in my skin and it washes me right out. Light blue is my worst enemy, even though I love the color.

If I remember correctly, here are all the products that I used:

What I Used

Laura Mercier Mineral Foundation Primer
Laura Mercier Mineral Foundation SPF 15 - Porcelain Silk

Also, I might, keyword MIGHT be applying for another job at a beauty store! I need all of your ladies' (and gents?) help! I'm thinking of making a folder of some of my FOTDs to show them since I have no official beauty experience or experience in retail. I would love your suggestions as to which picture you think I should use...if they're good enough. =/
