Last night after the men folk in my life went off to sleepy land, I decided to have a little fun with my makeup. I have always appreciated the Scene look, and thought it was kinda spunky, and fun! In fact, I always end up bringing a picture of "scene" type hair to my hair salon appointments. I love the short bob type hair on top, with the long hair as well. Almost mullet-ish. And holy giant volume! Love it! The makeup is always all about the eyes. And the more extreme, the better! Lots of fun colors, and very dramatic liner for the eyes. Where the cheek is usually bold, or not. And the lips are usually nude or a light, barely-there, shimmer. So yeah. I am 30 years old, and I know that if I were to be back in middle school or high school, I would be spending hours in front of my mirror, playing with my hair and makeup, and I know I would be all about that "scene" look.
Well, back to my story--- I opened up my makeup kit (aka the Box O' Fun) after the wee lad was in bed, and decided to "play" with my makeup. And from that, I was inspired, and I made another video! This video making is addicting!
Here is a close up of my eyeball for you to admire:
But if you want to watch the "Scene" unfold---check out my video-- complete with kissy faces, and eye rolls of course:) LOL No--seriously, I had fun-- and it's a really fun look to try, even if you aren't brave enough to leave the house with it!-- p.s. I don't talk in the video-- you just get to watch my fun skillz and hear fun music. Sooooooo cool I am. Yup.
The joys of makeup :) Put it on, take it off! Play some more! Try this. Try that! So.Much.Fun.
Whatcha think my peeps? Oh and let me know if you like videos more where I chat along the way, or do you like the whole watch me do my "thang"? Let me know!
I forgot to post my video regarding all of the neat things I purchased yesterday from Ulta! I love that store. And for those of you that are not blessed to have an Ulta by you, I am sorry:( Cause it is the fruit to my loom. It is like a beauty store mecca! I could spend an hour in there or more, easily. I set out to Ulta, and I had a list in hand, I needed lipstick (I was looking for a specific shade, but they were out of it.) Apparently everyone was looking for the same shade. BOO. I was also on a mission for more foundation, concealer, face treatment, and blush! So here is a video of the things I purchased!
I forgot to mention in my video, that while I was there looking for blush-- I almost bought one for 28 bucks---yikes. It was from Tarte, and it was their 12-hour clay pot one. But I wasn't thrilled by the price. And I really hadn't heard much about it, in terms of if it was fabulous or not. So I asked the girl that worked at the Benefit Brow Bar at Ulta, which is the spot where you can get your brows done--ps, on your birthday you get a free eyebrow awaxing ;0. She recommended this cream blush in a squirt tube It's called Cargo Cheek Acitvator for 32 bucks. Hmmmmmm.
This brand is more on the professional makeup end of the makeup world. They specialize in "High-Def" makeup. Which gives a very flawless almost air-brushing look. I will be trying these out for sure! So this tube she showed me squirts out. And comes out white. I tried this on the back of my hand. You start rubbing the white lotion, and like magic, it turns pink! And the more you rub, the more intense color it can get! It blends easily, and the color looks really natural! It amazed me! So here I have this awesome liquid/cream blush on my hand. Hook, line and sinker! I was thisclose to buying it, because I was thrilled by what it did, and the color looked really good. But I was like nooooo. Not this time. But in the back of my head, I really, really wanted to buy it. Well, later on at night, when I was going to wash my face for the evening, guess what was still on the back of my hand? (I swear I washed my hands multiple times after this lol). That is right, folks! The cream CARGO blush!! I was like holy moly! It is still there! And still looked good, and felt smooth. SOLD! Needless to say, I went on to Ulta this morning, and I purchased it:) It also came with a free gift set with a couple more of their products to try, so I am quite happy about this. And when it arrives, I will be doing a video on it, so you can see too! Now I just hope this little 32 dollar tube lasts me a while!
And here are links to the items I purchased: (minus my spot treatment and hair thingy)
Why is it going to feel like Christmas for me? Because I just checked tracking for my Sephora order--and it will be here tomorrow! SUPER YAY! I ordered the new Urban Decay Naked2 Palette! I have Naked1, (it's my makeup BFF) so I am thrilled for this one! Is there room in my life for 2 makeup BFF's? Of course there is!
= BFF's 4 EVAH
Tomorrow I am also going to be wearing a really cute outfit. I got an awesome dress from H&M that is so versatile, and only $17.80! (I will post pics of all the looks I can do with it). I wish there was a pic of it on their site so I could give you a sneak preview, but there isn't. BOOO. So I will make sure to share it with you for sure.
Tomorrow is going to be grand already, I can feel it!
