Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Tutorial

yo!

So, this tutorial was based on mint chocolate chip ice cream. I had the perfect mint eyeshadow for this, and uh... it's totally been hot outside, and stuff. I totally don't even like chocolate chip ice cream, though... So that's may or may not be a little strange. But this look is really easy, and really spring appropriate, I guess, even though it's totally summer now. A lot of people have been talking about how they love mint for the warmer months, so that's what I'm going with, although I wasn't thinking that when I was doing it. It also makes me think of those tropical island-y places that have that gorgeous greenish water. I wanted this look to seem really sugary, light, fresh, and kind of glowy. I would have preferred a more nude mouth, but... I have no nude lip products, so I had to make do.

Michael Todd True Organics: First Impressions! (Lemon AHA + DMAE Toner)

This is the second part of my Michael Todd First Impressions. The first product I posted about was the Honey and Oat Cleanser, in which I also talk about my skin type and what I used to use. I would recommend reading that first, if just for the additional information about my skincare experiences.

So this is the product:

Michael Todd True Organics: First Impressions! (Honey and Oat Gentle Deep-Pore Cleanser)

I was resolved to switch up my skincare last week, so I decided to try out two Michael Todd products, I've been using Proactiv since middle school, and I wanted to try something different, and preferably, more natural. Because natural (damn it, why is there no cursive font) is always good, right? Well, for the most part, Proactiv works for me. It keeps the texture of my skin nice and smooth, and it keeps most of the small clusters of little acne that I get at bay. I normally don't get a lot of those annoying tiny blemishes with this regimen, if any, but I do get those big, painful, cystic acne lumps of hell. I'm not really looking for something to be a miracle product in preventing that, as I don't necessarily care about being completely acne free to the extent that a lot of people do. It's nice to have great skin, but I'm definitely not one of those people who just can't bear the thought of someone seeing my face on a bad skin day.

Dirty Joker: Tutorial

I was keeping playing cards in mind when doing this tutorial, and this is the color scheme that comes to my mind. I wanted it to be kinda goth, kinda grungy, or almost dirty looking, and not to be a glamorous look, by any means. When I was doing the liner, I thought, why not add some glitter? And then Vegas was added to the mix, or Mardis Gras, or some kind of festivey-ness. It could also look like somebody's flag, too.... probably. I don't really know lol. There wasn't any concrete inspiration for this look, it was just me keeping things in mind to incorporate. I really like how decorated and gypsy-like this turned out. Not that I know what actual gypsies look like, but it makes me think of Esmeralda. Or, like, the stereotypical fortune teller lady. I'm a total grumpy umpus in this tutorial, which is fabulous, but I tried to cut out as much grumpiness as I could.

DisneySeries: The Lion King

So, this tutorial started off as me trying to recreate this look. However, as you can see, I obviously look nothing like the girl, so I was getting frustrated because it looked way more dramatic on me, and it wasn't looking like a soft, pretty wedding makeup. Then, when I did the underside of the eye, I was like HOLY HELLZ, THIS IS THE LION KING.

Happy accident ~

Pink Racer Tutorial

So, the shape of this look was inspired by the shape of my Crease Liner look, which I absolutely love, if you didn't know, and the colors were kind of inspired when I bought a new L'Oreal Lineur Intense in Carbon Black, and the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink. Though, honestly, I thought Inked in Pink was going to be a much deeper pink than it is, but you know... This look reminds me of a race track, mostly because of the dashed lines, I suppose, and the T-Mobile girl when she turns all motorcycle friendly. I originally was planning on it being more of a deep bubblegum pink, but then I was like no, this needs to be a more badass hot pink. With Glitter.

Tranquil Forests: A Tutorial

This look was inspired by...... you guessed it! Towels! Innocent towels hanging in the bathroom of my sister's house, of whose house I am at a lot. But seriously, they were really pretty together. Though, I didn't intend for the inner portion so be so sparkly and golden... It was supposed to be nude-ish, but I supposed it could be like, the sunlight reflecting off of a lake? Sometime in the afternoon, when it wouldn't be white instead? Yeah, anyway...

Baby Peaches: A Tutorial

So, this looks was inspired by my baby nephew in his green onesie (which, I had to look up how to spell that, because I had no idea). Babies are definitely... Yeah, no, I don't see the charm. 

Just kidding!

... am I?

Crease Liner Tutorial!

I did this look for the first time last year, some time. Then, I upgraded my video camera, and decided that I wanted to redo it. However, I made the tiniest little mistake with the crease shape on one eye, and I decided that the first video was good enough. Lol. So I know the video is kind of old to be writing a blog about it, but that doesn't matter... right?

Colorful Eyes and Ombre Lip Tutorial! Plus Makeup Slumps Suck!

So this is a recreation of a look that I found saved file of on my computer. I went and hunted down the original picture, though, it wasn't hard since google has that nifty picture finding function now, so that I could credit the original artist and stuff.

So you can see the picture here, which will take you to Jane Bradley's website, the original makeup artist.  Or here to see it on Pixiwoo's website, and it is the third picture down, since it's easier to find on their website. 

And here's my recreation:

Newb!

Hi!

So, I'm totally new at this whole "blogging" business. I've been making YouTube beauty videos, pretty much all are makeup tutorials, for a few years now, and I decided that I would make a blog to accompany it! I'm not sure what exactly I'm going to do with this blog, but I know I'm going to make a blog for every video that I do, with additional pictures or information, and rambles... You know, typical stuff.

I'm also not exactly sure of how to do... anything... Hrm, indeed... But um, yeah, hopefully, I can get this up and going very soon, since I'm uploading a video right now that I would like to post extra pictures for, and I've just filmed another video earlier today.
