TRUE BLOOD Truebie

This past Sunday, my husband and I were invited to a together at my friends house to watch the premier of "True Blood". I have never even seen an episode, but after watching the new season premier, I gotta say I am now a "truebie". I love anything having to do with vampires (and even to include the Twilight Saga! hahahaha), and Tarte Cosmetics came out with a Limited Edition of True Blood pallette. Check it out below:

I havent made my way to Sephora yet, but I have my eye on the cheek stain! The packaging is very cute too! You can order it online at Sephora and at Tarte Cosmetics!

As for the True Blood Series, my dvr is set to recording it so I can catch up on whats going on!

Lots of Love,

Yardsellr

I love going online and finding unique handmade jewelry, clothes, furniture, artwork and whatever lil knick knacks I like. Many of you know about Etsy.com, (which I will be opening an Etsy Shop soon! I'll post about that later!) but here is another website that is fun to shop on: Yardsellr.com.

I stumbled across this site somehow and I signed up, and just for signing up, they awarded me $5 to shop, I used it to buy a ring which I did do a video on about 6 months ago.

This was only like $3, and when you shop on Yardsellr, you earn more points in turn more cash for you to get more goodies.

Here is my video:

Inglot Cosmetics

The Makeup Specialty Instructor, Angie, just came back from training in California, where she got a chance to check out Inglot Cosmetics! When she told us about it, she said it is even better than M.A.C. and all of our mouths dropped! She brought in one of her pallettes that she was able to customize herself.

From the website, here is a brief introduction:

"INGLOT Company was established over 25 years ago by Wojtek Inglot, a young chemist working at that time in R&D department in pharmaceutical company.

His principal objective was to produce high quality products at fair and reasonable prices, using only the best possible ingredients and raw materials from the most reputable suppliers."

A cool thing about Inglot is their packaging and the way their palattes are. The palettes are customizable, the covers are magnetic and sheer so that there is no confusion on what palette has what colors. The prices are similar if not cheaper than M.A.C. and other cosmetic lines. Ms. Angie did swatch some of the shadows on my arm, and they did not rub off and the colors were very pigmented.

Inglot is from Poland and has locations all over the world, and only 5 stores in the US: Vegas, Miami, New Jersey, New York and Newport Beach, but you can order online at Inglot Cosmetics

I am planning on ordering some soon and when I do, I will let you know! Have a great night and weekend!

Halfway There

fororchestra.com

To complete my cosmetology training at Paul Mitchell, we all need 1500 hours of schooling, then pass the state board. I can happily announce that I am a little over halfway there! I am around 800 hours as of now and passing into the next phase of our school from the Adaptive phase into the creative phase! I am hoping to graduate sometime in December.

February 2011

Time has flown by since I started in January, here I am above showing my curls off. hahaha

Soon, I need to start thinking what I am gonna do when I graduate. I am gonna start looking for an apprentice around October in a salon as a stylist, and then possibly doing a tattoo apprenticeship once I am fulltime in a salon.

I feel like I chave changed my hair a kajillon times......lol but I love it! I love that it is red!

a view from below, not too flattering..but I love the way it looks.

My son said that I must drink alot of blood since my hair turned red. So I told him I was half vampire and he said "I am too mommy!" then I said "I think Bella is a werewolf" and so then she growled!!! She said she was TEAM Jacob.......and me and Matti are TEAM Edward. lol kids are too funny

What Team are you on?

Get Blown

This week in school, were learning the history of perms and blowdryers and I thought it was really interesting the origins of things that we use in our daily life (well, the blowdryers at least). 

www.answers.com

This was inspired by the vacuum! Can you believe that? Its so crazy! The things they did back then to be beautiful..and we thought what we do now is painful, imagine back then! hahaha

This picture above shows one of the first electrical perm machine. The hair was wrapped and then clamped and heated by electricity. I saw this quote attached to it and cant help but giggle to myself!

This is what we have been going over, just wanted to share, and hope you get a laugh out of it!

Wax On Wax Off

One of my Aunt's gave me this wax kit that she is no longer using since I am now training to be a cosmetologist. I have had it for over 6 months, and has been in a box for a while, so I finally busted this baby out.  Here is a picture I found online of the exact same product as I have:

http://www.metrobeauty.com/Skin-Care/Waxing/GiGi-Wax-Warmer-.html

The kit she gave me included this wax, (which you place inside the warmer), wooden sticks (used to apply the wax to area to be waxed) and then of course waxing strips.

I wanted to test it out for myself before I go and try to wax someone else. I tested my arm first, a small patch over my star tattoo, and then I moved onto my eyebrows. I wish I couldve taken a before and after picture, but my camera was charging and I just wanted to get it done! :)

I had the wax on a medium temp and it took about 15-20 minutes for the wax to warm up, there wasnt really a smell and it went on good for my eyebrows. I cut the strips into reasonable sizes for my eyebrows and it got alot of the big hairs and the lil baby hairs!

I had Success in Waxing! yay! so, if anyone wants their face done, you know where to go! hahahaha
warm, gooey waxy wishes, xoxoxoxox

Practice Run Through

I met up with one of my models for my photo shoot contest this afternoon to practice the look for one of my themes, which the first one is a galactic/star theme. I am going for Avant Grade look, totally out the box.  I grabbed some pizza and Dr Pepper (Nectar of life is what my friend calls it! hahahaha) and met with her and we got right down to business. Here is some of my makeup spread out:

it looks messy but I know exactly where everything is lol

I want to do airbrush makeup for this look, but in the rules for this photo contest, you cannot use actual face paint, so I ordered airbrush makeup in a starter kit that comes with I believe 5 different colors, the 3 primaries(red, blue and yellow) and then black and white and from those you can make any color! I ordered that a few nights ago so I should be getting that soon! yay!

Here is a few pictures as a glimpse of what is to come. My model, Shiloh is so sweet and she has amazing eyes and is so fun to talk to. I played some music and we had fun just talking and at some point we couldnt stop laughing.

The colors are pretty but I think once I use the airbrush as a base, the colors will be more vibrant.
And speaking of Vibrant, now that I woke up this morning, I realized how RED my hair really is lol

I dont know why I look so serious. lol

In case you were wondering, I didnt color my eyebrows, I just used red eyeshadow to accent my eyebrows, which has been something I have been really diggin lately.

That was my day today, so now off to do some sketching for the next makeup look, which is peacocks! Until next time, stay sweet!p
