My Dream....

"Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more..."

Anthony Robbins


Hi guys!

As some of you know, and have been noticing .. I haven't been around much. I have the biggest opportunity ever to display my true love... my art with the world.

I have been dreaming of displaying my cartoons and having people respond to them and find them amusing. This opportunity is just a beginning to some thing really big, and I have huge faith in. I really can't wait to show you all what I have been working on.

I have a lot riding on me and this is a huge task at hand. The pressure is good, and honestly.. drawing everyday has filled my life back to when I was a kid. Since I was small I have always drawn.. so this opportunity is big!

I am not saying goodbye, but I'm not sure when I will be able to post for the next few months. I do however, plan on going to IMATS!! so if you are there I would love to meet you! I will try from time to time to update, but I find that to be 10% true. I hope you understand.

Thank you ..for those who have been patient. I would be for you.. if you were proceeding on exploring your dream!.. I hope you will be happy for me, regardless if I fail... I have to try. Thanks! <3

Your thoughts?

Quick question.. does it annoy you when a cosmetic company uses the same person over and over to introduce new products to you? Or do you like a wide range of people trying the product?

What are your thoughts?

Brilliantbrnette81 Inspired Look

The other day I had no idea on what to do. I feel lately I've lost my creative touch on ideas for looks. Not that I'm complaining.. just in a rut so to say lol. So I decided to head over to youtube for inspiration. Brilliantbrnette on youtube had a look I wanted to retry.

I didn't have the gold flakes she added on the lid so, I decided go with the look as is. I also forgot her black eyeliner (I was tired!! lol)

I'm upset my camera washes my face out so much. I have tried to set it on different settings, but as of late it's like I'm getting pale.. and more pale lol. I'll be working on that. :/ lol Anyway, I hope you like her look! :)

What I used:

Eyes:

TFSI

Heavenly Naturals pigment in "Cha Cha" (under brow highlight)

Urban Decay eyeshadow in "Sellout" (brow highlight)

Urban Decay eyeshadow in "Misdemeanor" (lid to crease)

Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in "Covet" (lower lash line)

Blush:

Revlon creme blush in "Precious Coral"

Lips:

Carlo & Ronna orange gloss

Browns & Gold (Bitchslap Cosmetics & Prestige Cosmetics)

YES, don't adjust your screens! I am wearing neutrals!.. almost. LOL I decided to keep it semi neutral and decided to go with some gold I haven't worn in awhile. I am dying to do another gold and teal look, but I'm sure you are all tired of me using teal lmao.

I hope you like this simple look. I find Prestige one of my favorite drug store brands to buy from. Their shadows are extremely soft and pigmented and work extremely well. I don't have to say anything for Bitch Slap's pigments because they speak for themselves. :) really really gorgeous.

Splash of Color by Beauty from the Earth & Heavenly Naturals

I've done another version of this look with these gorgeous shades from Beauty from the Earth. I just wanted to show that you can do multiple styles of looks but with the same colors. This time around I decided to add a little purple. I also chose to keep the yellow in the tear ducts and not on the lid like last time.

The shirt I was inspired from is becoming one of my favorites to wear, so I appologize if you see this often lmao. Anyway, please let me know your thoughts!

Heavenly Naturals DIVA purples & hot pink

I wanted to go a lil Diva with it ;) and bring out the wow. I think Diva by Heavenly Naturals is one of my top 10 favorite colors from her line. I have two of them lol. I wish the camera didn't flush out the color so much because you are missin' the true vibrancy.

This look is fairly simple, only using really 2 colors not counting the brow highlight. So it works well doing this look for when you have no time. Anyway, I hope you like..

What I used:

Eyes:
Heavenly Naturals pigment in "Diva" (Lid & lower lash line)
Heavenly Naturals pigment in "Heartbreaker" (Crease blended into brow highlight & bright into tear ducts)

Urban Decay liner in "Lust" (Waterline)

Blush:
Heavenly Naturals blush in "Blushin' 14"

Lips:
Prestige lipstick in "Belize"
Wet & Wild speed gloss in "#943 Reckless"
