What I learn at school:

I just wanted to make a really quick quick quick post; It is another try at a school make up. This is my typical look really - combining different neutral shades :)






Here's what I used:

Eyes:
NXY shadow - Iced Mocha (crease)
mark shadow - Minx (lid)
Maybelline's quad - Chai Latte; matte dark brown for upper lash line and brows; matte light taupe is for lower lash line.

Lips:
L'Oreal Juice Stick - Chai Love You

He he ... lots of 'Chai' stuff today.

Oh, to end this post is a pic of:

He's sleeping on my bed right now... as I should also.

Hope you enjoy~

It's a DIY, baby!

So, I've been watching a bunch of videos regarding making your own palettes. Now, why would I care to make my own since E.L.F has a really cool quad palette for $1 already?? Why go through the trouble??

Well my friends, it is because
1) I LOVE DIY!!! I love being creative like that and making things on my own is F.U.N!
2) Because I've been eyeing the mark shadows and they are square and so you can't fit them into a normal E.L.F or any make up palette - same idea if I want to depot my NYX shadows.
3) B/c it's so FUN!!!... Oops, I already said that. Now onto the pics...


This is what it looks like.


This is what it looks like inside... COOL eh??


Magnets are found at any craft store - Micheal's or Joanne's. I got mine at Joanne's for ~$1.50


Genius I tell you, genius (PS. Ironically, I couldn't spell genius... had to use the dictionary).

So you're wondering, what is that BOX?? And how did I get it??

Chances are: You used to have it but you probably threw a bunch of it away. Okay, I'll get to the point. Do you remember when AOL used to be this huge new internet service thing and it kept sending free CD's to try out... YUP, that's the box!

*pic from Google. Mine is obviously bigger ^__^

I was lucky enough to find one because I remember throwing away a bunch of them when I was cleaning the house months ago.

I just glued a bunch of magazine cut outs to decorate it. Glued on some magnets and TAH DAH!!

Next stop - pressing some pigments to add to my new palette

Thank for reading! Toodles~

Swapperoos and giveaways.

So, I've been limiting myself on buying things but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't swap right? I always have make up that I never use laying around and I figure the best way to get rid of all of it is to SWAP!! So, check out all the cool things I've gotten over... just last week :D


I've always wanted to try mark's shadows!! They are huge! I love using minx/coquine for my crease.
**It is also in a DIY palette that I'll post about later.


I've wanted to try the Rimmel primer for FOREVER!! Now I finally have it!! I'm so happy. And, I tried it and it blends into my skin so I don't have the problem with it turning orange on me - which is kinda a dumb thing for Rimmel to do - have a apricot color primer.

Anyways, OOH, I also joined another giveaway. This time it is from Makeup Babble! Check it out!

That's all for now. Hope you're having a great weekend.
