I try not to use a lot of foundation, the trick to my skin is daily Noxzema and a scrub which I've made a tutorial for here

Apparently I was mute in this video. Had no idea what to really say about what I was doing.

And if anyone is curious I was listening to "Not strong enough" By apocalyptica first and "This is gonna hurt" by sixx am while recording this.
and since I'm not apocalyptica...or Sixx Am...I own nothing there

Best body/facial scrub!

After a year or so of research and testing I finally discovered a way to make the best scrub.

What you'll need:

A container(size of your choice) with a lid.

1 bottle of non coated aspirin tablets(or BCpowders, but I found the non coated tablets were cheaper)

Green tea packets(dry)

Coarse sea salt(You can substitute with just plain iodized salt if you want a finer grain, sometimes I prefer the finer grain)

Liquid soap of your choice.

Instructions:

1, Start out by pouring a minimum of 10 aspirin tablets on a plate and drop enough water on them to soften them, but not make them a liquid.

2, Fill your container halfway with salt.

3, Once the aspirin has softened into a wet powder like texture mix it in with your aspirin

4, Tear open your green tea(a min. of 4 packets) and mix them in.

5, Once you have everything mixed together fill the container a quarter of the way with the liquid soap.

6, make sure everything is mixed well and you're done.

DO NOT USE THIS ON YOUR FACE. The salt is WAAAY too abrasive. If you want a face scrub out of it get rid of the salt and use sugar instead.

Salt is a great exfoliate, it also kills bacteria. Sugar will also work as a nice exfoliate.

Aspirin contains salicylic acid which can be found in most acne medications.

The green tea works as a moisturizer and will make your skin soft.

The soap is really just for fragrance, because the aspirin will give it a metallic smell, it's not really necessary, but it is much nicer. You can use like anything for this, my first time making it I didn't have anything more than a bottle of dishsoap, and it worked just fine.

Mardi Gras Make Up Tutorial

Step 1:

Prep the skin.

Wash, Primer, liquid foundation and translucent powder.

Step 2:

Pick out a blue eyeshadow and cover your lid from the inner corner to the outer corner in it. Do not put this color on your lower lash line.

Step 3:

Purple Eyeshadow.

Load your brush up with your favorite purple eyeshadow(I used Hot Looks - Glamif Eyeshadow Pallete)

Drag the color over your crease(above the blue) from the outer corner to the inner corner.

Step 4:

Wings.

Using a darker blue line the outer V/Corner of your eye(top and bottom lashes) and drag it up into two wings/lines/tails/whateveryouwanttocallthem.

Step 5:

Yellow.

Load the brush up with yellow and brush the color alone the lower lash line(Outlining the blue wings) and along your brow bone. Don't forget to blend your colors!

Step 6:

Orange Stripe.

Using Orange, or Copper make a wing/stripe in between the blue wings.

If you want to be fancy with this you can swirl it at the end. I wanted to keep it simple with single line.

 

Step 7:

 

Liner.

I like to use a black eyeshadow to line my eyes.

It gives a softer look and if you mess up it's much easier to clean off.

Liner your upper lashes from the inner corner to the outer corner. On the lower lashes just slightly line the outer corner.

Step 8:

Final step, Mascara.

I always use two mascaras.

Maybelline Falsies and Avon's Jillian Dempsey Professional.

Two gives my lashes the weight needed to create a bold look to stand against the colors of the eyeshadow.

I use falsies first, then follow up with Avon. And I use both on my lower lashes as well for an added bonus.

And that's all~

If you do this make up I'd love to see a picture (:

That sounded better in my head ._.



Vampiric Eye Make Up Tutorial

I was in a bit of a horror movie kick this morning and I thought it'd be a good idea to do make up styled after monsters. So vampires are easy enough and quite popular these days.

This look is REALLY easy to do, too.

Make sure your skin is dry and clean.

Start by using Hard Candy's Sheer Envy Primer all over your face.

Once you have that massaged in apply a moderate layer of a liquid foundation of your choice(I use Loreal Paris TrueMatch Liquid Foundation) and follow with a translucent powder to set your foundation.

 Moving on to step two!

Using a light brown eyeshadow; drag the color from the outer corner, along the crease and to the inner corner of your eye. You're going to want that color on pretty thick so you'll need to do that a few times. Use the same light brown along your lower lash line.

Step 3:

Use a dark purple/red/magenta eyeshadow and outline the light brown. Easy way to know if you're doing it right is if the Purple is above the hollow of your eye/on the bottom of your brow bone. Also line your lower lashes with this color. This is going to add depth to your eyes.

Step 4:

Using a black eyeshadow line your upper lashes, lower lashes and waterline.

I like to drag the brush up and make wings on the outer corners of my eyes. If your lashes aren't that long or you want a more dramatic/theatrical look I suggest doing this. I make about 5 wings(1 long in the center and two smaller ones on each side)

Step 5:

Mascara and Highlight.

Firstly; Get some white eyeshadow(I used Hard Candy Peppermint patty) and brush it on your brow bone to highlight the shape of your eyes.

Secondly; Mascara Mascara Mascara. I use two different mascaras to really get a dramatic effect.

Start with Maybelline The Falsies and apply a heavy coat on both upper and lower lashes. Then follow with Avon Jillian Dempsey Professional Mascara on the upper and lower lashes.

Step 6: Lips.

There isn't a picture for this one.

I used Revlon's Just Bitten Lipstain. Since your eye make up is so dramatic you should stick to a nude lipcolor. Otherwise your lips are going to distract from your eyes...

and it might look a bit hooker-ish....

And the final product should look like this!

I made my hair up psuedo-pin up to go with this look

And my obsession with the 50's ^^;

That's all!



Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer.

 Hard Candy's sheer envy primer from (http://www.hardcandy.com/)

is a product I simply can't live without.

I really love all the products this brand has, but this one is especially amazing..

My problem with most primers is they either make my skin too oily or shiny, or they just irritate it. However, Hard Candy's hasn't done that. It has just the perfect amount of oil that my skin needs to keep it moisturized. Since its winter my skin has been extremely dry and this primer has come to my rescue!
I spend a lot of time outside at work so it keeps my cheeks from getting chapped, and the spf15 is also a bonus.

It's also great in helping reduce the redness that my skin is prone to.

I use it after I wash my face and before applying my make up. My make up lasts at least twice as long with this product on underneath and my skin is much smoother.

So that's all for now!
