5-year-old Hannah's Makeup Look

You've never seen anything so cute!!! This is AllThatGlitters21's little sister. This is the info from the description box
Me and Blair's littlest sister, Hannah, doing her own Make Up Video. She was so proud of it I had to put it online! It was filmed in the summer and I came across the footage today :)

P.S. She is only 5!

Disclaimer: She does not wear makeup on a regular basis. After all, she is only 5. This was kinda a joke thing and she wanted to be a "big girl" and make a video.

Why you should use a base and a mixing medium.

Wet'n'Wild Wild Eyes in... ummm Blue and Purple/Pink... yeah. (Names? Dunno.)

Without any base or mixing medium. Huh. Where's the shadow?

Applied WITH base (Mary Kay Signature Eye Primer) and Mixing Medium (homemade. Yes, Tiffany, I got some glycerin. Yes, Tiffany, I will make you some.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers in ... uh, Green and Dance Pretty (okay, at least I know one name! I need to stop pulling the stickers off. It was an accident!)

Shadows applied side by side. The difference here is not so much the pigmentation (it's only slightly better with the base&medium), but the colors that are brought out! It's really hard to tell in these pictures but that middle shade of pink has a gold shimmer I never even saw before!

These two photos (above and below) are without flash.
I think you can finally see the difference.

Well, what are you waiting for! Go grab those shadows that you thought sucked (well, they still kinda suck. Its nice to have shadows that you don't have to jump through hoops to get color payoff) and try them out! You might find a new favorite color you never knew you had.

FOTD: Sunday Nov 30

This is my first ever attempt at a cat eye, so I took pictures from different angles. Tips are appreciated! The shadow is by Princessa, you can get it at Cherry Culture. It's the 8 piece palette. It's not all that great, I really don't recommend it. But I thought I would try it today. A very good base is necessary. And I sprayed my brush with mixing medium while I was doing it. (I didn't want it to be too strong, or else I would've mixed the shadow and the mixing medium before putting it on my brush.)

PLEASE IGNORE MY EYEBROWS! I want a different shape so I'm growing them out. It's PAINFUL. That's why I did such a dramatic look! I wanted people to be distracted. "Hmm, you're eyebrows umm... -- ooh look at that shadow!)

The mascara I used is Max Factor's 2000 Calorie Mascara. GET IT! It's so awesome!!! Just look at those babies. This is two coats.





For the face products today I used that Lorac Blush in the Hit Pan tag. I also used a different foundation. I used Almay clear complexion powder makeup. It's supposed to be good for your skin. It has salicylic acid in it! And I have a huge zit on my chin! (Difficult to see in the photos... YAY!!!) I have to say I much prefer liquid or cream makeup. It gives a better coverage. Although this make up is good when I want my freckles to show through.

Look at my awesome earrings! Don't you love them.
I got them from Hot Topic a year or so ago.
"Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!"

Tag: Hit Pan

This is taken from Xteeener's Hit Pan Tag / Giveaway. But I've already entered and I wanted to post this on my blog, too, for those of you who don't follow me on YouTube.


What are some products you've hit pan on?
Why did you hit pan?
Will you be purchasing again?

So, here are the products I've hit pan on:

Going clockwise: I see two Cover Girl compacts,
a Lorac Palette, a Max Factor compact, and
an ELF compact that's not looking too hot.

Let's open them up:

Again going clockwise:

• Okay, the first Cover Girl compact is Cover Girl Clean Pressed Powder in Creamy Natural. I bought this a loooong time ago. It's WAY too light for me, but it's perfect as a matte highlight on my face!
• This is a Cover Girl Tanfastic Bronzer in Soleil. It's a medium brown shade (as far as bronzers go) and has hint of shimmer that makes it perfect for the summer.
• Next is one of the first high-end things I ever bought. This is the Lorac Paparazzi Palette. For a long time this was the only blush I used. It's one of my darker blushes but it goes on so perfectly. Lurve it
• I use this Max Factor Silk Perfection makeup EVERY DAY! I love it! Although, when it's gone I'm going to try out some other things that I need to use up.
• This ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Luminance is something else that I use every day. I sweep it along my cheek bones before I put on blush to give a slight golden shimmer to my blush. It's not dark at all (or else I wouldn't be putting it on my cheek bones)

Okay, those are some things I've hit pan on! What about you? I actually don't have anything I've hit pan on because of it not being good, but I know that is the case for some people -- e.g., an eyeshadow that you had to apply a LOT for the color to really show up or a nail polish that you had to use 4-5 coats every time to avoid a VNL (Visible Nail Line). Hit pan does not have to mean an actual pan. The product could be lip gloss or nail polish (as mentioned above) that you ran out of for one reason or another.

Tagging: EVERYONE who reads this!!!

I'M VOTING....

oh god. Oh god, it's so fucking funny. Oh god. I can't help it. Read. You must read. Okay, the funny part doesn't happen until the bottom. I don't care if the rest of it pisses you off. YOU MUST READ THE WHOLE THING.

My boyfriend received this "I'm voting democrat" in his email. And the "I'm voting republican" comments ensued

I AM VOTING DEMOCRAT

I'm voting Democrat because English has no place being the official language in America.

I'm voting Democrat because it's better to turn corn into fuel than it is to eat.

I'm voting Democrat because I'd rather pay $4 for a gallon of gas than allow drilling for oil off the coasts of America .

I'm voting Democrat because I think the government will do a better job of spending my money than I could.

I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Afghanistan and Iraq , I know the Islamic terrorists will stop trying to kill us because they'll think we're a good and decent country.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe people who can't tell us if it will rain in two or three days, can now tell us the polar icecaps will disappear in ten years if I don't start riding a bicycle, build a windmill or inflate my tires to proper levels.

I'm voting Democrat because it's alright to kill millions of babies as long as we keep violent, convicted murderers on death row alive.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe businesses in America should not be allowed to make profits. Businesses should just break even and give the rest to the government so politicians and bureaucrats can redistribute the money the way they think it should be redistributed.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe guns, and not the people misusing them, are the cause of crimes and killings.

I'm voting Democrat because when someone with a weapon threatens my family or me, I know the government can respond faster through a call to 911 than I can with a gun in my hand.

I'm voting Democrat because oil companies 5% profit on a gallon of gas are obscene, but government taxes of 18% (federal and ? state) on the same gallon of gas are just fine.

I'm voting Democrat because I believe three or four elitist liberals should rewrite the Constitution every few months to suit some fringe element that could never get their agenda past voters.

I'm voting Democrat because illegal aliens are not criminals, are not sucking up resources through government aid, hospital services, education, or social services, but are just people trying to make a better life by coming to America illegally. We can't blame them for that, can we?

I'm voting Democrat because now I can now marry whatever I want, so I've decided to marry my horse.

Makes ya wonder why anyone would ever vote Republican, doesn't it?

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! I love Dr. Tiwari. "Does Ron Paul have a horse?" hahahahahahahahahaha

BTW, Mitchell loves Ron Paul. Of course, I'm not sure if it's a joke anymore or not. It might just be a joke. Sometimes when we're joking we just say "Ron Paul."

Because it's funny.

Nail Swatches!!!

Some nail polishes I bought a while back. They are all 99 cents each at Rite Aid! Pretty sweet deal! Each of these swatches is two coats with a top coat.

N.Y.C Big Apple Red Creme
This picture makes it look more orange-y than it is.
It's actually a darker red. Pretty bold actually.

Wet'n'Wild Wild Shine in Caribbean Frost

Yeah, again, the color a little off. It's a bit greener than this
It's a shimmery sea green color. Makes me think of mermaids. :-)

NYC Times Square Tangerine Creme
This color is spot on. A bright orange, very autumn-y color. Love it.

This color is spot on, too. NYC Charming Rose Creme
Rosy pink frosty color (I am so bad at color descriptions)

Wet'n'Wild Wild Shine in Bijou Blue
This is a frosty aquamarine color. It's the only one out of the five that needed a third coat (can you tell in the photo? I'm not sure.) In the bottle it looked a bit darker, so I was a little disappointed at first, but it's growing on me. The color reminds me a bit of Cinderella (but I suppose her color would be a bit lighter)

Sigh... NOTE TO SELF: take photos in better lighting. Try doing nail swatches when it's light outside!!!
