Beauty Catch Up

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

I just realized that I haven’t really posted very much here since before Christmas. If anyone has read my blog for a while but not followed me on youtube, the reason I guess this was so, was because I was having really bad allergic reaction to something. Enormous hives which I am still having but they are more under control now. I was also experiencing a direct allergic reaction to some make up remover wipes that I was using to remove my eye makeup and resulted in huge swollen puffy eyes for days. So now that I’ve started feeling better and feel good enough to post some pictures and videos I thought I would add all of the videos of stuff that I’ve done since that time.

I did a Christmas haul, and a couple of hauls since then. I did a video talking about my experience with Calypso Minerals and how they just kind of ripped a lot of people off. She caused a major ripple of anger through youtube and beauty communities because she just disappeared with a lot of people’s money. In that video I have pictures of a Lisa Frank inspired eye look that I did from one of the gurus that I’m subscribed to on youtube.

Finally I have some pictures that I am adding of a makeup mask look that I did the other day for Mardi Gras. I have been meaning to push myself outside my comfort zone for some time and this is the look that I came up with. I would have liked to try a Venetian Mask but I felt that was a little too intricate for my skill level so I started simple first. I was pleased with the results for my first time trying my hand at creating a mask with all makeup. I used to be able to draw but that takes a lot of practice and guidance for me (I learned to draw from an instructional book). So as a result shapes and such were not exactly even and there were some mistakes that I just could not remove because I had used paint pot on my face for the base of the makeup. Anyway, enjoy!
