Pinky Purple Mix Eyes !

Today I woke up earlier than usual from some errands and do some grocery shopping as well too. I decided to do a new look with my eyeshadow using 4 colors all from the COASTAL SCENTS 88 PALETTE. I didn't take a picture of the exact colors I used nor did I record myself doing it. I don't have all that great camera quality so for now pictures will do, but you know what they say, "a picture says a thousand words", right?!? But, you don't even have to copy the exact same colors I used to create the same or almost same look. Just use a WHITE SHADE for the brow bone highlight ; MEDIUM PINK SHADE for all over the eyelid ; BLEND 2 OF THE DARKEST PURPLE SHADES for the crease of your eye. Then line with a liquid liner and a long lash lasting mascara(I don't use false eyelashes because since I'm still new at this I don't really know how to put it on). I hope you like the way it turned out because I did and purple is one of my favorite colors too. ^-^
PURPLE PINK MIX !


I didn't really have an inspiration or idea it was going to turn out like this, so my name for it isn't so catchy. I just decided to be "girly" and mixed colors and I ended up liking it.

Made with LOVE !


Who is Whitney Eve???

Whitney Eve is Whitney Port's clothing line, so now you know who I am talking about. Of course she is none other than the star of 'The City'. In this past season of 'The City' she premiered her very own clothing line. Her line is a mixture of colors with her own unique style added to them. The clothing she rocks since we saw her first on the 'The Hills' is sort of how her clothing line turned out. So, you can say it really is 'Whitney Eve'. I love her since her first appearance on 'The Hills', she was not into any of the stoopid pointless drama on that show and I was glad to hear that she had left the show and made her own show based on her career which I liked. She as well as Lauren Conrad "LC" actually "grew up" which is why those 2 are my favorite actresses on the shows, but this blog is for Whitney's clothing line because it has caught my eye since it was first premiered. ^-^

Some of the clothing that caught my attention from the 'Whitney Eve, made with love' line.

Himegyaru Hair !

I MISS MY LONG HAIR ! I just wanted to put that out there because I miss doing the 'HIMEGYARU' hairstyle. I was googling some looks and different hairstyles in the Asian genre and it made me miss my long locks even more. My curling iron and flat iron have been neglected for months now and I think I should start getting back into it. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret chopping off most of my hair, but I am honest that I do miss it and wish it could grow back faster. So ask me, "why did you cut your hair in the first place?" Well, the year just started and I wanted a change and a new look and not just some highlights or change of color, but a new style all together. Plus, here on GUAM it gets very hot and long hair wasn't cutting it at the time. I loved my new "do" it was cooler and different and a lot of people said I looked more mature and sophisticated so I enjoyed it for a few months and now I'm here. Yea, I can curl my short(it's medium length now) hair and style it, but it's just not the same. It's not the full Himegyaru look that I want. But, for now I can just admire and save pictures that I can copy when my hair gets longer. ^-^




This girl was brave ! I love it on her though, wish I was brave enough to pull something like this off. I give her props.

I did a youtube tutorial before I cut my hair on Himegyaru hair and this is how it turned out. Like??? (www.youtube.com/alilimay)


I call this my "super spirals"...I guess you can say I was having a good hair day on this particular day. ^-^

Cocktail Ring Fever !

For a few months now my newest addiction besides make-up has been my craving for costume jewelry. I've always liked accessories and I own a lot of beaded necklaces and pearls, but I decided to change up my style a little bit and add more fun to my everyday wardrobe. I am addicted to COCKTAIL RINGS. I bought my first cocktail ring as part of my 21st birthday wardrobe from EVERBLUE store at the GUAM PREMIER OUTLETS. FOREVER21.com has also satisfied my craving for these precious jewelry. Then when I went to the Philippines I almost couldn't breathe with all the rings and different styles and selections. Being that this was an addiction of mine I went crazy(but not too crazy) and bought some that I wouldn't be able to find here on Guam. I do actually wish I bought more, but since I'll be going back in January there will be new styles and I can buy more. But, for now this is my collection...^-^




This ring was purchased at place called Tendisitas in Manila, Philippines that sells Filipino native products and this was one of the hand-made special rings which was more expensive than the rest because it is a hand-made original. The petals are made from real pearl and shells from the sea.

Eye Shadow LOVE !

"Everyone is BEAUTIFUL naturally"--this statement is very true, but I am one of the few who think make-up is a form of ART. Consider it this way, a painter paints with colors, a sculptor sculpts with clay, and a make-up artist uses colorful eyeshadow to create a masterpiece. With just the right technique and creative blending of colors a beautiful new face emerges enhancing and making one's natural beauty pop out more. I'll be honest I never used to wear make-up and was afraid to put colorful shades on my face, but with the help of friends and youtube gurus I became a student. When I go out from time to time I get good feedback and nice comments that keep me motivated to try more looks and discover new works of art. So far I own 4 palettes that I use almost everyday, but I have yet to try out my newest one that I purchased from the Philippines. I will probably just stick to these palettes for now till I run out of a certain shade then I will just buy a pot to refill them. I don't need a lot of palettes because I'll be honest, I don't use all of the colors although one day I would like to accomplish that goal. ^-^
