First up, Marie and I did 2 collaborations last weekend. Here's just a teaser shot of Keline aka Urbandoll looking very adorably pleased with her hair. 

On Sunday i went to Flea market which happened to be near my house. I got OPI's I Lily Love You, which is a translucent glitter/flakie thing. Some jewel-like rings painted w nail polish, 1 of which i've given to my friend. And lastly i got 'caviar' beads for nails. Will film that then i get to trying it out.

Today i got a couple of things from Watson's because they're having another sale. I'm loving the Royal Blue, (they call it Dark Blue) Clio Waterproof Shadow Pencil. I've had blue hair for about 2 months now and i'm on a prolonged BLUE kick. I love Ardell lashes and they were on 20% off so i had to get them. I rarely wear falsies but i have plans of cutting these up for ease and comfort of wear. Hopefully i do a video for that so it makes slightly more sense.

Last but not least, i'm starting on Biotin, today will be Day1 so hopefully i'll see improvement in my hair, skin and nails in a months time. I've been hearing a lot about this in random videos so i thought i'd  actually try to start taking care of myself with vitamins. Once my annoying cough is over, i'm going back to exercise.. no more excuses.

Talk to yall soon,

Probably not wedding appropriate make up..

I was playing around with my NEW Mac products (haul video comin' up soon), NEW Sugarpill Firefly individual lashes and my Urban Decay shadow pencils before i was going to a wedding.
The wedding was at this place called The China Club and it was a gorgeous, very modern chinese-themed restaurant on the 52nd floor of Capitol Tower. The view was breathtaking..
I think everyone thought i was the entertainment though.. not a relative.

Last Saturday Night

I wore this out last saturday night, didnt film a video for it though. I actually started out with the thought that i'd do the smokey burgundy eye but then decided to do it a bit more purple with a more defined crease. And i used a NYX retractable eyeliner in Purple for the bottom.

I've actually just finished editing my travel make up bag video but i think i'll post it up next week 'cause i've already uploaded 2 videos this week. My usual lens (Tamron 17-50mm f2.8) is also giving me problems.. it has abit of white misty spot in the centre. so i need to get it cleaned this weekend. That also means that neither of us has filmed a video this week :/
Although... i could use my Nikon 50mm prime lens.. hmm

I also bought 4 very exciting glitter/holographic nail polishes this week! But i'll leave that for another post.

Ohhhh 1 last thing, after posting the hair video, we got like 30 new subscribers overnight! Woot so exciting! Thanks so much to all of you that subscribed :D

"I originally recorded a video at Marie's house but my memory card was full and so a lot the video got cut out and didnt record. *insert cursing and swearing*

So thats why this look is marginally different from the one I had on in her video.

I also recorded this at 1am last night because i've been so busy shifting house and valentines day is almost here and Marie said she'd be on strike and not record anymore videos if i didnt hurry up the hell up and post one this week.

Lastly, my fingers feel extremely naked because i broke a nail while shifting and had to chop then all off and strip the colour.

So thank you for watching my very FIRST video tutorial.

I'm rambling and nitpicking."
