Update on the Make up course (ramble post)

Last Thursday I did my friends makeup in the bring-your-friend-to-be-your-model-so-you-can-do-her-makeup-and-hair type of classthing, let just call it model class or something. Anyways I was supposed to do bridal makeup and hair and bring a reference photo. I found a really nice photo for the make up but I wasn't happy with the photo I had for the hair (it was more of a inspiration ) so I did the hair a little different from the photo. We where also supposed to bring some bridal accessory I had nothing so I bought fake white flowers not on their stems and glued them to the ends of bobbypins. I curled the hair and took some of the front pieces and pinned them back with gold bobbypins (note I learned that the pins are not suppose to be seen, so I know that next time) and put the pins in with the flower on the back of the head, one with a smaller flower in the middle and two large ones on each side of the smaller one. 


 The photo of the bridal make up/hair


The hair pin that I made for this 


Now I'm in week four.
Monday a photographer and a stylist came and talk to us about thing we might need to know. Also in that class we got a photo with a rip of face and used that to do the makeup that we thought would match the look of the photo. We got to see the photo whole at the end and mine turned out different that what I did but it would both match :)

Tuesday was catwalk and the exercise was that we looked for catwalk inspiration and did the makeup in an hour then switch then switch again for 10 min to fix if we needed to fix something.

Wednesday we were doing catwalk makeup again but this time we brought a photo of make up and hair. We were supposed to do it exactly like the photo. It was fun but also it was stressful to make it right, I did mine just fine :)

I hope you like it :)

Goals for the year (January/February)

January 

I did most of the goal of this month but I did do videos, I didn´t have time for that :s. I was so busy with the course I´m taking and all that. also I didn´t sort my room but I think that may be a task for next month :).



February 

This month will be busy too, I have 2 final exams (in the make up course) at the end of the month a beauty one and a fashion one. I might be taking my driving test this month also. I am going to try to use all of my time and do something useful not sit around and do nothing :)

  • Do a post every other day 
  • Do a video at least 
  • Sort my room
  • Go to the gym 2-5 times a week
  • Wake up early 
  • Change my food habits
  • Read a book 
  • Start using a running app program 
  • Drink more water to feel better 
*It's best to be specific with your goals, so you're more likely to do them.

I hope you like this post :)

Nail polish love (Product love)



I bought the O.P.I Liquid sand polish in The Impossible, it's a pinkish red with holographic sparkle, it also has star shapes and circle shapes (holographic too). It had a sandy texture (like putting sand on wet nail polish) that makes it different from my other nail polishes and I like trying new things. I recommend this to anyone that wants to try out something different and fun, also check out the other colors that they have in the Liquid sand line they're all so pretty :)

Nails of the week (week 9)




This week I did my nails inspired my Gir from The invader Zim (the cartoon show) in his dog costume. It´s a easy nail design. When I look at my nails with this design on it brings a smile to my face and that can make my day. 

Video of Gir 



What I used 


Right: Ciaté(Mojito 019), O.P.I(Alpine snow), Ciaté(Ghetto fabulous 017),L.A. color art deco (Black)






Base&Top coat 
Sossi , garlic strengthener

Tools

I use a dotting tool and a striper polish(Art deco) but you can use a tooth pick or a bobby pin as tools you don't need what I used to do this :)

How I did it 

1. Start with clean nails with nothing on them.
2. Then put on a base coat and let dry.
3. Put on two coats of the green polish and let dry.
4. Make two black dots on the middle of the nails for the eyes and let dry.
5. Start making little lines like seams in the middle of the nails and then make a line for a nose in the middle of the seam line and let dry.
6. Dot the black dot with the white polish so the black polish looks like outlines around the white and let dry.
7. Take a tooth pick or something pointy and put a black dot in the middle of the white dot for the eyes and let dry.
8. Put on a top coat to seal the design in and let dry.

Makeup course update (ramble post)

This week is my 3rd week of the makeup artist course and what we are learning now is how to do hair (just a little) and bridal make up. Yesterday I was supposed to bring a friend and do her makeup and hair. I'm not good at doing hair at all, so I did my best but it all took a lot of time (I was one of the last ones there). Tomorrow I will also bring a model to class and I will be doing bridal makeup and hair.
This will be my 3rd one and we can take with us photos that kind of inspire us (hair and makeup), a lot going on for me. 

Photos of the ''model classes''

First time 

Basic beauty makeup

Smokey 



Second time 

Hair and makeup (kind of a old glam look)

Starting my makeup course (ramble post)

This is a little update of what we've been doing these days.

So I started my makeup artist course on January 7th. I have classes in the evening, from Monday to Thursday (8 week course). I really like what we are learning and I feel that this is what I want to do for a living. I got a really good kit with a lot of Mac products, it has the basic things we need so we can always add to it. We can also bring makeup that we had before, I brought some stuff that I already had, some stuff from Mac, my naked palettes and so on. I'm using one of my best friends as a model tomorrow, it's the first time in the course that we bring a person to model for us and do their makeup. So far we have just been doing the makeup on classmates so this will be kind of fun and different. I'm learning new tricks for doing makeup and learning how to make some things easier. It's only been two weeks now so I'm not finished yet. I'll do an update and say what else has been going on, but for now I think this is good time to stop writing. 


Here is a picture of my station from the other day

A little haul

My little haul 


So this is my first haul blog post so bear with me :).
so there's this beauty website called beautybay, I have ordered there before, buying the Naked and the Naked 2 palette and some other things. I get emails from them telling me about sales and that kind of stuff. I got an email on my birthday (31st Dec.) saying that because it was my birthday they were giving me a coupon code for 10% off that would last till the following week. I went on the site the next day and I saw they were having a sale and also that they had the Naked basics palette and I had been waiting for it. I bought the Naked basics palette and the Beauty blender (the bright pink one), I also got the Premier Service which is like 2 pounds or something (you get a free random sample with that :))




What I got 





The sample I got 

I got a sample of a leave in conditioner (for all types of hair) from Milk_shake.
I tried it a little and it's really nice and it smells like a candle from Bath and body works called Homemade cookies if you need a smell reference :).



Well this is my first haul :)
I hope you liked it, please leave a comment and tell me what you think :)

Nails of the week (week 8)


This week I did my nails in a pink, silver and with black. I don't know how this look came up but when I started thinking about a design this came in to my head. I used a light pink on my index finger to mix up the design but the color smudged a little, because it wasn't drying like the other polish, that's why that finger looks weird on the photo.

What I used

From the left:Chanel nail polish(529 Graphite) ,Ciaté nail polish (strawberry milkshake),depend (nr 034),L.A.colors Art deco (black)






Base&top coat 


How I did it 

1. Start of with clear nail with no nail polish on.
2. Put on a base coat to protect the nails.
3. Put two coats of the pink polish (the light or the darker one) and let dry. 
4. Take the black stripe polish and start making a triangle shape at the base of the nail and let it narrow down, and let dry.
5. Fill it in with black and let dry.
6.  Take the silver glitter polish and line the outline of the triangle and let dry. 
7. Finish of by putting on a top coat to seal in the design and let dry.


Hope you liked it :) leave a comment and tell me what you think that would mean a lot to me :D
'Till next time :)

Monthly favorites (December 2012)

December is over, so it's time for me to make my list of monthly favorites. This month was a busy month with the holidays and all. So the things I used the most are things that I used on an every day basis. My make-up has been easy and quick and I have not been using many things.


This month 





What and Why



Mac Lipstick in Russian red.This is my "go to" red lipstick, it's the perfect red in every sense of the word. I think this is a lipstick that fits most people, but it depends on the skin tone. I used to think that I couldn't pull off red lips (the really true red kind not the dark vampy kind)  this lipstick is the one that convinced me otherwise. I wear this around this time of year so of courses it's in my favorites :

 Mac Blush in harmony. I use this to contour my cheekbones and warm up my face and this month I didn't use blush very much, just this and a highlighter. I used it almost every single day this month and I love it so much. I have light skin and it has always been difficult to find a contour color for me but this one is perfect and matte. I would recommend this to any one who has pale/fair skin :)


 Mac Mineralize skinfinish in Soft and gentle. This powder/highlighter it gives a beautiful natural glow. I got this in the beginning of the month and I have been wearing this almost every day since. I would recommend this to everyone :

 Estée lauder double wear foundation (shell 15). I´ve had this foundation for sometime now and just mostly used it for evening for a fuller coverage, so this month I used it a lot because I have been going to a lot of dinners and ect. so this has come in handy for me to use.


Mac brush in 168. I got this brush in the beginning of the month and have been using it ever since. This is made of goat hair so it doesn't pick up too much of the product which is why I like it so much, and its shape makes it great for contouring. I would recommend it too anyone who is looking for a good blush/contour brush :)



What were your favorites this month :) ?

Happy New Year/My birthday (ramble post)

Happy New year! 

I hope you had a nice year  :)
December 31st is my birthday, so I just turned 19 years old. It was a fun day for me both the birthday part and the fact that it was New year eve. I spent the day partly with my family and partly with some of my friends. Over the years I have gone back and forth with liking my birthday or at least the date it is on. I mean everything closes early and restaurants not open, and sometimes that sucks. It's a busy day for most people and so on. I've made peace with it now though, I mean I'm not a kid any more so it isn't a big deal any more. I just enjoy my day as much I can :)


Fireworks, good food and the company of the people you love are one of the thing that I like about the day itself, making great memories that you will always remember :)

This is just a short little post.

(P.S. I got a domain for the blog, it's like a birthday present from me to me :D )


Please comment and tell me what you think :)
