Recreation of sokolum79 Inspired Pink and Purple Brightness!

Hello everyone,

So today I wanted to do a pre birthday look and so I was looking for looks on youtube and came across Sokolum79 Pink and Purple Brightness. If you don't know who Sokolum79 then where have you been? She is an awesome MUA from Canada  and seems so down to earth and OMG I love her looks and style.  So here are some pics and products will be listed below!



Face:
Juice Beauty Green Apple Moisturizer (Smells just like AppleJacks)
Foundation Avon Magix Cashmere Finish in Soft Honey (Review coming soon)
Concealer Boing Cosmetics  in Med Tan
Cheeks are Natural because I do not wear blush. As seen from pics above my cheeks are already rose-y.
Contour I used my Rimmerl Natural Bronzer in 022 Sun Bronze



Eyes: Primer Lorac Behind the Scene
For Base I used to creamy color. First my UD 24hr Glide on Pencil in Delinquent on the outer and inner corner of the eye. For the middle I used my lipstick from NYX in Eucalyptus that I got in My Glambag (Can't remember when o__o)
I also used the bubble gum pink second from the top as well 
For shadows I used my BH Palette 2nd Edition, but because they have no names here are the pics.
For the middle I used the top bright pink.



For the outer comer I used the second Purple from the top



















For liner I used UD Perversion on the inner and upper lash line and set it with UD Blackout
For highlight I used UD Foxy
For Lashes I use my Maybeline Falsies Mascara
For Brows I used my Avon Brow Pencil in Light Brown

Lips I did have a dark bloody red however is kind of dragged my face down so I went pink instead and used my Balanced lipstick in Woolloomooloo (<I know right) and for gloss I used my Buxom gloss in Tonya.

For more information and step by step on how to do this look check out Sokolum79 on youtube link to her video for this look is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPszPgtPJWI&feature=g-user-u . Hope you guys try it out and hope to talk to you soon.

Goodbye Brunette and Hello Blonde or Strawberry!

Hello dearly,

So today I have decided to dye my hair again and go back to blond or at least somewhere in-between.. So my natural hair color is Dark Brown and I wanted a change of color for the season so I went to blonde or at least light brown..

Here is a pic of me with my own hair color and (sniff sniff =-<) long hair

Then here's me when I changed it to Ash Brown /Blonde with some highlights as well. When I came out of the Salon looking and feeling like a whole new person.  


Then me and my great ideas I cut it short and went to somewhat  medium to dark brown. At first I tried to dye it black but for some strange unknown reason the dye didn't hold. Not the first time that happened but hey whatever..
So this time I wanted to go back to the light brownish blonde because believe it or not my daughter's hair is just that color and looks great on me.
First let me say sorry for the blurry camera I don't have one and I used my computer  camera . So It is not as blonde I would have like and I have some red undertones that I forgot all about. The finished look is drum roll please.......Strawberry blonde! 

The color I used was Avon Professional Hair Color in the color  8.1 Medium Ash  Blonde.  I do want to say that it is always best to go to your local salon and speak to a hair professional before doing anything drastic to your hair also it is best to stay within your  hair color family. So please seek the advice of a professional first. 


The Avon PHC is as good as it gets. It comes with a Pre- Hair treatment to place in your hair before dye it to prevent it from damaged. Then it comes with the color and with the post hair treatment. The price runs to 7.99 but there always sells.. There are different color range running from the lightest of blondes to the Blue Black so head on over to www.avon.com and order online or you can look up your local avon rep.

So guys I hope to get the pictures up soon so until then.......

Long Time No See =(

Hello all out there!! This is going to be short and to the point. I know I have not been updating anything at all and I am sorry for that. For reason why I didn't post was for one thing a while back I had started a new job where I worked very late and just did not have the energy to get into it.

Now even though I no longer work there you would think I be on top of my game but sadly no. Just recently I was told I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. 


Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term disease that leads to inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues. It can also affect other organs. Causes, incidence, and risk factors . The cause of RA is unknown. It is an autoimmune disease, which means the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. RA can occur at any age, but is more common in middle age. Women get RA more often than men. Infection, genes, and hormone changes may be linked to the disease. Symptoms RA usually affects joints on both sides of the body equally. Wrists, fingers, knees, feet, and ankles are the most commonly affected. The disease often begins slowly, usually with only minor joint pain, stiffness, and fatigue.

Joint symptoms may include: Morning stiffness, which lasts more than 1 hour, is common. Joints may feel warm, tender, and stiff when not used for an hour. Joint pain is often felt on the same joint on both sides of the body. Over time, joints may lose their range of motion and may become deformed. Other symptoms include: Chest pain when taking a breath (pleurisy) Dry eyes and mouth (Sjogren syndrome) Eye burning, itching, and discharge Nodules under the skin (usually a sign of more severe disease) Numbness, tingling, or burning in the hands and feet Sleep difficulties.> Yes I copied and pasted this as you can see it very long to write 0--0.. Okay so manly I have been just going through a lot and haven't really been on top of my blog or anything for that matter. Well it stops because I am back and I will work twice as hard to stay on top of this.. Those who would like to find out more about Rheumatoid Arthritis can go to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov where I got the above info. So again sorry guys this time I will stick and make it work.. Thanks for your understanding...

Until then..
