A Few of My Latest Creations

Hello Lovelies!

School has settled down temporarily. I expect it will be insane again in a week...

My favorite study break is a good hour of playing with makeup.

Besides, HALLOWEEN IS COMING UP.

So I need to start practicing!

Here is what I have the past few days:

the inspiration- a MAC Halloween face chart

This look was actually quite easy once the blocking of the shape was done!

just black eyeliner blended out!

Some makeup to match my hair and nose ring.

I expect if I worked full-time for MAC I would rock this sort of look more often.

sorry about the terrible quality of the photos.

my camera always makes the makeup look funny and distorts the color and dimensions,

so i use the webcam to get a more accurate shot of the look.

the downside is the grainy, poopy quality. :/

Coming up:

How to pick lipsticks!

Outfit Post, Los Angeles Style

This is my third week living in Los Angeles- I'm here for the semester as part of an urban studies program for my major. I'm living in Koreatown, taking classes nearby and interning with a non-profit for the next few months. Check out my personal blog if you'd like to read about my experiences and transformation!

It's starting to cool down a bit, especially since there's about a ten degree difference in temperature in LA proper from Azusa. Here's what I wore to the Mid-Autumn Harvest Festival in Chinatown. Forgive my ridiculous posture and facial expression, as always:

(Top, Tulle (bought at this random wholesale weird shop in Santa Monica); jeans, Urban Outfitters; brogues, Forever21; bag, Ebay; scarf, Mother's; hummus, delicious)

(Tying a scarf to the handle of your bag is an easy way to add some chicness to an outfit and maximizing the use of your layers- plus I've got to admit my secret love for cheetah print :3)

(My favorite accessories lately. From left: vintage, Mother's; etched PVC pipe, gifted; enamel butterfly, vintage)

I've been digging blouses so hard lately, I guess it's just a new season in my style!

Also, I've added quite a few new items to my Etsy shop lately- take a look! Tell a friend!

Love you all

press the alcohol down on the eyeshadow

(pretty darn hard)
