Makeup Pics by ME!!!

Hey dolls,

Here are just some makeup pics of looks I've done on myself. They are pretty neutral using golds and browns with pops of color. Hope you enjoy. I used NYX Cosmetics and Coastal Scents products to create these looks.

Updates!!!!

Hey dolls,

Its been sooo long since I've blogged. Just been extremely busy with life and work and trying to put some things together for myself. So I have a few updates...

Yesterday I had an interview with Sephora and got it on the spot. The manager was so impressed with me and my resume that she thought I would be an asset to the company. Although its just seasonal, she has high hopes that my position will become permanent. So I am extremely happy about that. I start in a couple of weeks!!!

And also I've been trying to find a local makeup artist in Charlotte to intern/assist. So I found one. She is a celebrity makeup artist and I have a meeting with her next week. So I'm excited about that as well.

New opportunities have been coming my way and its taking me one step closer to my dream!

O yeah and tomorrow night I'll be doing the makeup for Charlotte Style Magazine's fashion event. The theme is Asian-Motif. So I look forward to that!!! I will keep you all posted!!!

Coastal Scents Haul Pt3!!!

Hey,

So I just received my Coastal Scents package in the mail this morning and decided to post a quick blog before I left for work. This is a small haul, but I love what I got. All the purchases I make for makeup are going towards building my kit so that I can do freelance work and market myself as a makeup artist. Hope you enjoy this haul.

SN: Coastal Scents offers free shipping for orders over $50. So these purchases came to total of $51.84 I believe. Check it out:

*COASTAL SCENTS HOT POTS*
(these are 26mm pans, the same size as MAC)These Hot Pots are $4.49 each. And although I don't shop at MAC, I hear that these colors and quality are comparable to MAC and a lot of these are dupes for MAC shades. Why buy MAC shades at almost $15 each, when you can get them for $4.49 each.

I also ordered a 12 piece empty magnetic palette so I can customize my own makeup palettes. I call this palette by "Natural Glow Palette (Neutral/Pink/Green)". I love it! I plan on ordering more colors to fill up the rest of the palette.

Hot Pots (Left to Right): ME17, ME21, ME20, ME24, ME22, ME23, and S24.

*COASTAL SCENTS 13 PIECE BRUSH SET*

I decided to order a brush set that I can put in my kit for professional use. I plan on getting more brushes from them but these are the basics.

The brush kit includes:

1. Deluxe Sable Powder Brush
2. Deluxe Sable Blush Brush
3. Sable Shadow Brush
4. Sable Concealer Brush
5. Angle Taklon Liner
6. Badger Blending Fan
7. Sable Crease Brush
8. Oval Taklon Concealer
9. Detail Lip Liner
10. Eyebrow Comb
11. Mascara Spoolie
12. Silk Spongie
13. Leatherine Case

Hope you enjoyed!!! Another NYX and LA Colors Haul post coming in a few days!

::Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick + Swatches!::

Hey,

So after browsing through other blogs, I found that the Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick was popular, and after looking at swatches I completely fell in love with the colors. So I just got back in from Wal-Mart where I purchased two shades. I paid $5.47 each for these lipsticks, which is not such a bad price! And the packaging is sooo cute. Metallic purple with a crown at the top!

The two shades I purchased are Spotlight Beige and Vintage Pink. Check out the pictures below. Sn: I apologize in advance for the camera quality.
