Photoshoot w/Juliana Pt. 1

2011-03-29T18:46:00.000-07:00

We've been at it again. My friend Jeff (JeFresh Photgraphy) and I collaborated for a glamour photoshoot. We've done this before with Sarah's photos, but we wanted this shoot to have more emphasis on the make-up and hair. We wanted to do more of a simple, classic, pinup look and this is what I came up with. Jeff's photography skills are amazing and captured exactly what we were looking for. To see

LIFE

2011-01-20T14:30:00.000-08:00

Hi all!! I've been SUPER busy with moving back to Michigan, starting a new job, and getting back into dance. I think I've gotten at most 4 hours of sleep every night for the past week. I'm sorry for not uploading any tutorials lately! Once the auditions/show are over I will definitely get on top of the requests that you guys have sent me! Until then, here are a few pictures of the crew that I'm

TAG! My Perfect Imperfections

2010-11-15T17:50:00.000-08:00

So, Andrea from Andreaschoice made up a youtube tag video focusing on her "Perfect Imperfections". The way I interpreted this tag was to focus on the "imperfect" things about yourself that make you who you are. It also shows that everyone is human and has things that they don't like about themselves...little insecurities. But also with that comes the things that you DO like about yourself. I

Halloween Tutorial: Peacock

2010-11-05T22:20:00.000-07:00

AAAH! So I completely forgot to post a ...well..blogpost on another halloween tutorial that I did before I left for halloween weekend. It was a peacock look. I dont know what's going on with youtube or my editor, but my videos have been uploading funny lately. I'll upload a certain edited version (or so i think i did) and then when I see the video on my page, it shows up with random cuts. Eh, oh

Tutorial: Sandara Park from 2ne1 - It Hurts MV

2010-11-05T22:04:00.000-07:00

Hi guys! So I'm sorry I haven't done a tutorial/blogpost for a couple days. I was out of town the the weekend. I figured I would start up again by posting a simple look. If you guys haven't seen the new 2ne1 music video, go check it out. Dara's makeup was so simple and cute so I wanted to do a look like hers. It really didn't consist of much besides eyeliner and blush. Here are a few screencaps

EOTD

2010-10-26T16:03:00.000-07:00

I was bored and figured I would play around with some of my more vibrant colored makeup. This look is still completely wearable for everyday but still has that pop of color. I used my BH Cosmetics 88 matte eyeshadow palette. I also used an NYC white eyeliner as the base...this REALLY intensified the colors!!! It was only $0.93 at wal-mart! hehe :D I love finding good deals. Well, here's the look!

Halloween Tutorial: Vampire (Katherine from The Vampire Diaries)

2010-10-23T23:06:00.000-07:00

I know I look nothing like Nina Dobrev but I tried to do a tutorial to kinda get the feel for her character as Katherine when she's in vampire mode. Click here for the youtube tutorial! Here are some pictures that I looked at for inspiration. I wish I had a pair of vampire fangs to put on to show you guys....but the truth is I don't. :( I'm sorry. Fangs would totally complete the look though

Another NOTD: Green + Silver w/ Black Feather

2010-10-21T22:19:00.000-07:00

This was one of the simplest nail art thingymajiggers I've done in a while. I used a mint green base color and with a black nail art polish, I added feathers onto my ring fingers and added silver tips to every finger. I finished it off by adding a clear top coat. I don't think the green looks that great for my skintone, but I can't but help LOVING the color! It's so calm and cool looking. I hope

NOTD: Kawaiii~~~

2010-10-20T14:59:00.000-07:00

This is a terrible picture, but neither of my camera's batteries are charged yet so I had to use my webcam on my lappy. Sorry!! :( After I got done, I realized it's kind of a down-played gyaru nail art type of nail. It's blingy and bold but not toooo much. I think it's a completely wearable nail. I used a pearl wet'n'wild nail polish from a LOOOOONG time ago for the base color(i'm surprised it

Spots!

2010-10-13T19:38:00.000-07:00

Here's my NOTD. I just used a baby pink polish as the base and added some black dots all over. A couple fingers have a few random magenta dots. After all that dried, i added silver glitter spots all over and applied a clear top coat. Enjoy! Here's another NOTD pic from a few weeks back that I completely forgot to upload. It's pretty random. I didn't have any idea what I was going to do and I

Halloween looks!

2010-10-08T17:41:00.000-07:00

I'm back from Korea and ready to do more looks. I'm trying to concentrate on more simple, Halloween looks seeing that it is only a few weeks away! Here's what I came up with so far! Cleopatra/Egyptian Princess Click here for the Tutorial! Secretary (or...any other costume that calls for a sexy smoky eye) If you guys have any suggestions, please feel free to let me know!!! :)

LUUUX, nails, hair, makeup

2010-09-02T22:21:00.000-07:00

I know I've been lacking quite a bit in updating my blog. BUT it's for a good reason! I've been trying to get more steady with my YouTube channel so I've been neglecting my blog for a little bit. I'm so sorry!!! :( Anyways, I've done quite a few tutorials since my last post and I wanted to show you guys a few pictures! But, before we get to that...I'm so excited to say that I'VE JOINED LUUUX!

NOTD

2010-08-27T22:00:00.000-07:00

Here is my nail of the day for today (obviously..lol) I used my sinful colors polish in Dream On (a matte magenta) for the tips and painted on a silver glitter (LA Colors art deco in Silver glitter). Then went over it with an LA Girl Flare clear polish for the top coat. What do you guys think??

22nd Birthday

2010-08-26T16:31:00.000-07:00

Hi all again! I don't think anyone really knows but it was my 22nd birthday on Aug 3rd. I didn't really get to celebrate because I had to take my MCAT exam (medical school admittance exam) on the 5th :( . So, I basically just studied ALL day on my bday! Anyways, the day after my exam a few of my sorority sisters and I had a joint birthday party. All our birthdays are really close to each other so

BoA - Game MakeUp tutorial

2010-08-20T19:54:00.000-07:00

I was really excited to do this look! It's simple, edgy, dark, and SEXY (lol)! It's also perfect for a night out when you wanna do something a little more dramatic. Best part is I only used 2 different eyeshadows! Well, enough with the blabbering and onto pictures and the tutorial! Products used: Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips for Brown Eyes Gel cream liner - Black BH Cosmetics 88

IT'S BEEN SO LONG!

2010-08-18T20:25:00.000-07:00

I've been away for SO LONG! I haven't been able to upload ANY videos to youtube because I haven't had time to film nor could i blog! I just currently took my MCAT exam and then moved from Michigan to Alabama the week after. So with that being said, I guess you could all understand why I haven't had time! I tried to edit a few videos during this past few days, but for some reason my windows live

Foundation Color Comparisons

2010-08-03T07:21:00.000-07:00

So I bought the Hi-Def Glamour Creme Foundation in Warm Palette #1 from Graftobian the other day and I'm SUPER excited. I've heard lots of raves about it by other YT makeup gurus. Anyways, the cheapest place I found it was at the Paint and Powder Store. Normally the palette would be around $21 but on this site it was only $18.99 (not including shipping). With that being said, I know I've always

L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Lotion

2010-07-31T17:24:00.000-07:00

I don't know if anyone else has this problem but I've realized that my face is ALWAYS a shade or two lighter than my body. This is SO irritating because my face NEVER matches my body and whenever I choose the right shade of foundation for my face....it's way too light compared to my body. With that being said, I've been using this every once in a while to even it out. I know it's not a "Facial"

CL of 2ne1 Make-Up Tutorial

2010-07-30T12:28:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone! So this look was inspired by CL of 2ne1 from their music video 날따라해봐요 (Follow Me). It's one of their newer videos...but it's quite old if that makes any sense haha. It's just a dramatic double-winged eyeliner and the rest is pretty simple. Let me know if you like it! :)

Water Nymph/ Mermaid Look

2010-07-29T20:22:00.000-07:00

Imogen from Foxylocksextensions, Heather123, and are having a collab contest and I figured I would enter the contest! I've never done a "video response" type contest before so I figured I would do this one for fun. Let me know what you guys think! Maybe I'll do a tutorial on how I did it if enough people want me to! :)

Fashion Photoshoot

2010-07-27T20:10:00.000-07:00

Check his site out HERE. Anyways, we did a few different outfits with two totally different looks for the hair and makeup. The first set was a more natural look.

Kawaii Cell Phone Case

2010-07-25T19:43:00.000-07:00

I know it's been forever seen I posted last! I was in Chicago for the weekend. We went to Shedd's Aquarium! It was so fun! So many weird looking creatures lol~ Anyways...when I got back home I found several packages in my mail. It was different embellishments that I ordered a week ago in order to decorate a cell phone case! I've been seeing a lot of different cute blinged out cell phone cases

Gold Clubbing Make-up Tutorial

2010-07-15T15:09:00.000-07:00

I was requested to a do a night-time/going out look with gold. Here's what I came up with! It's quite simple and could actually be worn to day-time events as well.. if you wanted to tone it down some you just wouldn't have to use as much black in the corners. Here are the pictures :) In natural lighting. With Flash With natural lighting. Products used:Urban Decay Primer Potion - Sin88 Matte

Hair tutorials and POSSIBLE GIVEAWAY?

2010-07-12T21:09:00.000-07:00

Hi! I just uploaded a video tutorial onto youtube...OMG this took FOREVER! Once I clicked upload video it said it would take 165 minutes....and it really did take that long. I tried uploading it once and stupid me just had to accidentally close out of my internet browser with only 30 minutes left. So I tried again..and finally after another 165 minutes the video has FINALLY uploaded to YT. I also

FOOOOD!

2010-07-12T17:01:00.000-07:00

I went to Meijer the other day to just shop for groceries and came across these DELICIOUS ice cream sandwiches. I guess they're very low in fat and calories and all that bad stuff. Anyways, theyre so good and I figured I would share with everyone :) They're called the Skinny Cow sandwiches I guess.. lol! So cute. Theyre so good and much better for you than those normal ice cream sandwiches. AND

OOTD + FOTD

Graduation

2010-07-09T11:21:00.000-07:00

I don't think I ever blogged or mentioned that I graduated two months ago. Anyways, I guess it wasn't too big of a deal for me..it's kinda just expected that we all graduate college in our family. I'm the last child to finally make my way through college and onto the real world. My two older brothers and I have all graduated from Michigan State University...perhaps our children will go here

Naaails!

2010-07-08T20:01:00.000-07:00

I painted my nails again today. It's a little messy buuut..OH WELL! I think they're cute. HAHA What do you guys think? :D (I don't know why my skin looks so narsty in these pics! :( ) I also went to the zoo last weekend! It was so fun. Saw all kinds of animals. My favorite was the mandrill! There were two of them. I think one was the mom and the other was the baby. The "baby" was all over the

Starting a few New Routines

2010-07-04T22:01:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the lack of updates this week! :( Anyways, here is an update! I just bought a teeth whitening system and a new face wash today! I've never used a teeth whitening kit before cuz I've always been afraid that it would get my teeth ultra sensitive. But, Yuwei has been using it for a while and he told me that he's really been impressed by the results. And a plus is that it's one of the

The Evolution of my Hair

2010-06-27T22:42:00.000-07:00

During the past year my hair has gone through lots and lots of change! I've been trying to grow out my hair since last winter. I know it's you're supposed to get a trim every few weeks...>< but I haven't. I just got one haircut since then and have only trimmed my bangs once during this time too. LOL! Anyways, here are a few pictures of how my hair has changed. Asymmetrical bob with chunky

Just painted my nails!

2010-06-20T20:42:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted anything about my nails but I figured "why not!?". I used L.A. Colors art deco polishes in a black and silver glitter. These come with those really thin brushes so it was a lot easier to paint the tips of my nails. I also used and L.A. Girls clear polish as a top coat. I got the first two from a dollar store but I think you can also buy them from Forever21 and the top coat I

Simple Dolly Eyes

2010-06-20T14:43:00.000-07:00

I decided to create a dolly eye look for monolids because it seems like everyone else has a dolly eye tutorial out there..but NONE for monolids! It was pretty simple and can be wearable for the day and if you want to make it a little more dramatic, just choose a few darker/smokier colors! I hope you all enjoy! Products used: BH Cosmetics - 88 Neutral Palette L'Oreal HIP Gel liner -

Face, Hair. Outfit ... OTD (Warning: Picture heavy!)

2010-06-11T13:05:00.000-07:00

Today's weather has been crazy. First, it was POURING and cold. Now, it's just humid and hot. So I decided to layer. I also included some pictures of what Yuwei got me as a surprise! I know it's a little childish, but after I saw the infomercial on pillow pets, i HAD to have one! He also brought me a RANDOM GINORMOUS Garfield! I swear, it's bigger than I am! I also picked up a package from the

FOTD and HOTD

2010-06-10T09:16:00.000-07:00

I cut my bangs last night! Anyways, here's my FOTD. It was really simple. I used 3 eyeshadows (pink, baby pink, and brown), a liquid liner, and some falsies. :) Enjoy~ (P.S. these are completely unedited pics!) :)

Panasonic heated Eyelash Curler Review

2010-06-09T14:53:00.000-07:00

I think this may be one of my new faves! I've always wanted curly eyelashes..length isn't so much of a problem for me. Even when I would curl my eyelashes with a regular curler, they would just fall straight again within 2 minutes :( Maybe it's because of the type of eyes I have...either way, I love this! I bought it off of Amazon for less than $12. It works wonders! Some of the good eyelash

Spring in Michigan = Snow

2010-03-21T00:31:00.000-07:00

Our annual Charity Ball was last night. All the ladies look gorgeous (as usual) And the gentlemen were looking quite handsome. I wasn't planning to go until last minute so I just put something together pretty quickly the day of. They served parmesan crusted chicken, spinach and artichoke ravioli, garlic mashed potatoes, and veggies. I wasn't able to eat at all yesterday because I was at work

Lunar New Year Show!

2010-03-01T21:01:00.000-08:00

So these past few months have been so hectic due to dance practices for our school's bi-annual Lunar New Year Show! (It's the year of the Tiger btw!!) Anyways, I danced for our school's VSA (Vietnamese Student Association), PASS (Pilipino American Student Society), and I helped out CSC (Chinese Student Coalition) It was a bittersweet show though. My last show in college!!! (how saaad!) But it
