Make Me Up: Reminiscing the Silver, Red and Black of 2009

Hey guys : ) The makeup I wore today was very special, not for the looks of it, but for the sentiments behind it. The first time I created this look, was around May of 2009. Now, you have to know that I rarely ever do the same makeup twice (Except for simple things, that would be considered everyday. But even then, I use similar colors, but switch up the products); The main reason for this would be, that I have such a variety of products and brands, that I like to give myself a chance to use everything, and the artist in me doesn't like to repeat creations, I find it exciting to see what new look I will have created when I'm done (If it's a repeated look, the excitement is gone, and after a while it gets boring). But for this look I made an exception because when I first created it, I had just graduated high school (Or was about to... can't remember), and my friend Denise had given me the inspiration with the colors, my other friend gave me the title to name the look; It just all makes me reminiscent of the strong friendship I used to have with my friends, while we were still in school together. So applying this makeup on today made me very joyful, though I did tweek some things (That's the artist in me coming out haha... "I won't let you repeat Massiel, I WON'T").

An interesting observation though, was that I saw soooo many things in the original look, that I would now have changed/fixed LOL. I guess this means that my skills have gotten better *celebrates*. Practice makes perfect guys, not that perfection actually exists, but you can definitely get closer to it with practice : ). Anyways, I really think that I have improved my makeup application, within the last year; Tell me what you think, I'll post pictures of both versions belows.

Well congratulations if you actually read all that haha, and thank you! All products used listed below, hope you enjoy! : )

Review: Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Palette in "Lust"

I can pretty much say that I got my makeup start in Wet N Wild; many would look back at that and cringe because of the stereotype on drugstore makeup, but I LOVE Wet N Wild makeup to this day!

Before going into the review, let me just rant a little about this negative stereotype people have placed on drugstore makeup… I understand if you have tried drugstore makeup and were disappointed, then were turned off towards it all. But there are many drugstore products that are gold mines, and so many people can vouch to that. So don’t just turn you back to drugstore makeup just because you think that the price is cheap, so the quality will be cheap! I have no problem with people using higher end stuff, I myself use a lot of it, But I just think that if you are a true makeup lover, you must give everything a chance. : )

So I will be reviewing this amazing Wet N Wild palette!! Can you tell the review is going to be positive? LOL.

How to store your de-potted NYX eye shadow pans

Hey guys! So in my last post I showed you all my NYX eye shadows, and a lovely girl here on blogger world, Tina, asked me where I stored my NYX eye shadow pans. I thought that showing this could be helpful to many people, as well as her.

This is where I put my NYX eye shadow pans:

              

KEEP READING TO SEE HOW I DID THIS!

Swatches of ALL my NYX single eyshadows!

Hello guys! My first real swatch post yayy! Here you will see pictures of all the single eyeshadows by NYX that I own. I have also done swatches because eyeshadows don't always apply the way they appear in the pot. I specify whether the eyeshadow is matte, shimmery or satin (satin meaning it has more of a sheen than actual shimmers)

I have many more swatches to come. If you have any question just leave me a comment : )

Yayy first blog post!! ^_^

Hi and if you're reading this, you probably have a certain interest in makeup. In this blog I will mostly be posting swatches. The reason I wanted to make a blog was because I find it very helpful when I can easily google swatches for products I'm interested and I can find them on blogs. It make the whole shopping experience much easier, especially for I'm buying online. So I'll have pics of swatches, probably some reviews and maybe also full face makeup pics so you can see certain products being used! Anyways I really do hope this helps someone out there lol.

Since this blog will be more of a pictures blog, I feel the need to add some pics in this post lol. So here are some pics of some makeup looks of mines.
