Half Blue and Teal Ombrè [Rhetorical's Makeover Winner]

Make Up Forever Academy- Final Exam

The topic for my final exam was Bridal makeup. Got my friend Ros to be my model and as you can see from the photos we had quite a lot of fun joking about while everyone is was being stressed with the exam. Oh and I made that hair piece from a lace appliqué and a comb, yay for DIY!

So now, i'm officially a Makeup Artist!

When my trainer presented me my cert, she said some nice stuff about me and ended off with 'colour runs in your blood' and that was probably one of the best compliments ever, apart from the time that Ros said 'Andrea can make god happen on your face'.

Andrea with Bridal Nails? Whatt???

My bridal-esque nails from Dia Bella. It was my turn to try out the bling this month.

I was inspired by a few different photos that i saw on tumblr last year. That's actually my natural nails, i've never been able to grow them so long because they usually break and chip but with the gel polishes that Dia Bella did for me the previous round, i managed to grow them out. One thing i actually would like to note is that my previous plaid nails only chipped after a month and when they were soaked off, the gel came off quite easily and didnt leave ny nails gross and damaged (unlike previous experiences i've had with other nail places)

We also painted the underside of my nails cause they're always stained by all the hair and clothes dyeing that i do.

Check out Marie's diamond nails with the owl accent! How gorgeous and adorable are they right??? 

(I recommended her that combination btw haha)

LOVE ITTTTT!

Eyelash Extension from De Perfect Beauty

When i was dyeing Marie's friend's hair i noticed that she has really gorgeous eyelashes but it wasnt falsies. She recommended this place, De Perfect Beauty. So i decided to try it out, why not right?
My friend Jessica was really interested in it so she went along with me.



Overall i really liked the result with the eyelash extensions.
But because my eyelids are really sensitive, especially so when i've just removed my eyeliner, it was quite an itchy 1 and a half hrs.

Update 2 weeks later:
It was quite strange that night when i took out my contact lenses, cause the extensions were so long that it brushed against my spectacle lenses whenever i blinked. Hilarious.
Removing makeup with cotton buds is not the most convenient thing, especially when you wear as much eyeshadow as i do.

I am not the most gentle and careful of girls so i dont really expect mine to last more than 1 month. A few stands here and there have dropped out already. If i does drop in your eye, it feels the same as a normal eyelash.

Recent occurrences

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,
