Im ANXIOUS !

.... I'm really anxious to learn more about makeup & how to do it better. I don't know where this urge came from, but I've began to love makeup (even though I don't need it). I'm not really a creative person, and I figured that being about to do make-up takes a lot of creativity. I'm willing to learn how to become this creative person that I've been searching for. I'm not saying I will become a makeup artist, but hey you never know.

Now since I'm new with makeup I figured I have to try the different brands and things for myself and learn how to apply them by watching YouTube videos. So each check I will buy a new set of Foundation, Eyeliner, Eye Shadow, and Lipstick from a different brand. You know, just to build up my makeup collection and see what works best for me. I just now came up with this idea, and I'm so excited. I'm not sure what brand I should start with since I get paid this week. Hmm, time is winding down , I get paid Friday. When I figure out what brand I will start with I will blog about it, for sure.

2. $50 - from my grandparents
3. $15 - from a co-worker pam
4. Macy's Gift Card , Chocolate , Socks - From My two managers

I didn't even want anything so as you can see I got way more than I wanted. I'm satisfied. I also got paid yesterday from both of my jobs :]. No check from the internship/job place because I haven't worked there in a while. But everyone have a good Christmas, I hope everyone gets what they want. :]

p.s. I bought myself some Mac Products for myself. I got some foundation and some setting powder. :] I love it. I will be going back for some lipstick and some other things on Monday. 

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

So in my last post I had mentioned how I wanted to learn more about makeup and actually start wearing it. I did some internet surfing , well more like YouTube searching and found a girl who knows all about makeup who seems like she is the exact complexion as I am, I watched some of her videos and found out what products she used. She uses many different products for her lipstick, blush, and eye shadow. I mainly wanted to know what was the best foundation and concealer. The girl uses Revlon Photo Ready Liquid foundation , she said she really loves it. But then I watched a review on the Foundation and was told that when you are wearing the foundation you aren't exactly "photo ready" because it looks horrible in photos, so I put that out the picture. I found another video and a girl said she used Mac Pro Longwear Foundation and Concealer, I watched many reviews on that foundation and concealer and got a lot of good ones. So now that I figured what brand of concealer and foundation that I am going to use I have to get the matching color for me, I will do that sometime this week when I go to Macy's.

For the other cosmetic products such as lipstick, eye liner, eye shadow, mascara, blush; I will figure out what is best for me by experience I guess. Even though I did get alot of suggestions on Lipstick and Blush for dark skinned girls, I will go off of those suggestions for picking what is right, and what will look right on me. I will definitely keep you guys updated. I want to have a new girlier (is that a word) look for 2011 :].

trying something new...

I was watching a Youtube video the other day because I was trying to figure out what kind of Remy weave I wanted for my birthday. The girl who did the Youtube video was giving a review on the Remy weave that she had in her hair. Not only did I notice how nice the hair was but I noticed how nice her makeup was, and she was the same complexion as me sort of. Right then I figured I wanted to start wearing makeup, I never really thought that makeup could look nice on dark skinned girls because I figured there wasn't that many options for the skin tone, but boy was I wrong. I had left a comment on one of her pictures asking about what brand she used but I forgot what video it was and the girl has so many videos, :(. So, I did some of my own research looking for makeup brands with good reviews, so far I found that good brands for dark skinned girls are Iman, Bobbi Brown, Mac, and another brand that I cannot remember. I'm not sure which ones I will buy yet because I need to figure out my "skin tone" label for their brand, I don't want to buy and have it not be the correct color. So for the new year I want to get some new makeup products. I need to find a good foundation and concealer, I also will buy eye shadow, blush, and lipstick. But for now my MAIN goal is: find a good concealer brand and a good foundation brand. If you have any suggestions, please let me know :].

In the meantime , while I'm waiting for suggestions I am going to go look for that video that I commented on and see if she commented back :]. I'll keep you guys updated

UPDATE: I did actually find the video that I posted the comment on , and she replied, she said that she would upload a video about her makeup as soon as she got a new camera because the camera she is using now doesn't show good detail. So I guess I will have to wait a see what video she will post, I will keep you guys udpated!

I want to learn . . .

. . How to do a sew-in. I'm so tired of paying people to do my hair and paying for the expensive weave that I buy. I wish I could learn how to do my own sew-in's so that I can save some money. I mean I only pay $40 to get my sew-in done , but that can be $40 in my pocket you know? I had posted on my Twitter account that I wanted to learn how to do them and everyone told me to go on YouTube and watch their videos. I do watch the videos, the one problem that I have is that I can't braid my own hair tight enough so that the sew-in will be a secure one. I have to work on braiding more often, maybe I can practice on my sisters hair since she's natural. This should be an interesting journey.

Another thing that I want to learn how to do is make-up. There's a girl named Jazmine who does her own make-up and it always looks nice. I really don't wear a lot of make-up the most I've ever worn was the mineral foundation , eye liner, and mascara. I don't think once I learn that I will cake up my face with make-up, I just want to do other peoples make-up. It seems like it would be so fun. Another inspiration for me to do make-up was from the show Jerseylicious. They do a lot of makeup on that show and I like how creative you can be when you do someone's makeup. Well, that's just another goal on my list.
