hello!

long time huh?! well, school started this week on monday. i can honestly say i've been super exhausted and had no time for anything other than some hours of sleep then school all over again.

i've decided to change my hair color from brown with blonde highlight to red. my friends teased me and called me "abg" (asian baby/barbie girl) and i was eh about it. but on the second day of schoool someone i haven't seen in forever said that to me the first sec i saw him so i decided it's time for a change. i don't regret a thing, i look fabulous with red hair!

you've seen me with the before pics, but here are the after!


Photobucket

this is the new hair but with no flash. it's quite red in the sun and it's super bright

Photobucket
here it is with bright flash.

i used ion color brilliance # 6ir-66.66 that i got from sally. i used #10 developer for my roots and #20 for the rest of my head. i got such a good deal because the lovely sales person gave me a professional discount. i bought 3 color, 2 developer, a bowl, a brush, and a pack of conditioner to seal in my color for less than $16. steal!

anyway, i hope you are well.

ysl duo#25 tutorial

this is a recreation of the fotd i posted on make up alley. all the products used were the same and yeah. i hope you enjoy =)

here are the products used:
Photobucket
maybelline nutmeg eyeshadow (for brows), mac blacktrack fluid line, urban decay primer potion, ysl duo #25, maybelline falsies mascara waterproof, nyx milk jumbo pencil (melted and potted)

Photobucket
okay i started off by priming my lid with urban decay udpp. then i applied nyx milk jumbo pencil on the lid and blended it out. i also filled in my eyebrows.
Photobucket
i took the blue from ysl duo#25 and patted that on 3/4 of the lid. i used the sponge tip applicator.
Photobucket
using a blending brush i applied the purple from ysl duo #25 to the outer 1/4 of the lid. i blended the color together by patting the blue over the purple.
Photobucket
okay next i took a clean blending brush and blended out the edges.
Photobucket
i went back with a pencil brush to darken up the outer corner with the purple from the duo
Photobucket
okay then i put the blue shadow on the inner 3/4 of the lower lash line and the purple on the outer 1/3
Photobucket
next i lined my upper lash line and water line. you don't have to wing out your liner if you don't want to. i just happen to like mine winged out.
Photobucket
heres what it looks like after the liner. after this all you have to do is curl lashes and put on mascara to both top and bottom lashes. i didn't use false lashes.
and here is the finish look

and here is a picture of the completed look without flash

hope you find this helpful in anyway.
