It's that time of the year again, when gift giving becomes exciting. I just wanted to give an early Christmas present to one lucky winner. If only I was rich, I'd give tons of gifts to everyone. LOL

I've recently been learning  hairstyling from books and videos so that I can do both hair and makeup for my clients. I've tried a couple of hairsprays in the process and I found one that I really love.

This is part 5 of my Smokey Eye Series and it's the last one. I decided to do a classic smokey eye since it's the fairly easy to do and it suits everyone.

You can opt to use dramatic false eyelashes to accentuate your eyes. I used a matte brown shade above the crease area and on the lower lash line just below the black eyeshadow, in order to soften the look a bit.  It also makes it much easier to blend your black eyeshadow and not end up looking like "Black Eye".

You check out Part 1 to Part 5 of my Smokey Eye Series HERE.

Need I say more?

I really love this shade, too bad I forgot to ask the name of polish I used. I had my nails done a couple of days ago and silly me didn't pay attention to the brand and name of the polish I chose...LOL

I will definitely look for something very similar to this color. I love that it's really easy on the eye and it's something that's not common.

Until next time.

I've been using this facial scrub for a couple of months now and I have nothing to say but good things about this stuff. So here's what I think about this facial scrub.

Whew, sorry If I haven't been updating my blog often these past couple of weeks. Been so busy with my regular job and my freelance work. This is part 4 of my Smokey Eye series and this time its the easiest smokey eye I've ever done. Here goes.

I will make this short and quick. The photo says it all. LOL


I recently read "Makeup Makeovers" by Robert Jones and I just had to try for myself the techniques on how to create a 3D type flawless face by Highlighting and Contouring.

I used 3 shades of foundation and 3 shades of setting powder in order to get this result. I know, no one has the time to do this everyday. But it really is very useful for special occasions when you have all the time in the world to make yourself pretty.

Let me know if you want to learn how to highlight and contour and I will gladly post a tutorial for you.

Until next time.

I originally planned to make a Poison Ivy inspired look but terribly failed, so I just did what I could and came up with this. My first Halloween Look ever.
