[sorry for getting this post up so late, I've been super sick the past few days!) For my tutorial this week, I wanted to post something that fit around the idea of Valentine's Day, but wasn't your stereotypical "date night" sort of look. I came up with this super vampy black and red look that I really like and would ... Read More »
If I have a weakness, it’s The Voice Blind Auditions. I always lose interest in the show after the teams are made and the show gets going, but i loooove the blind auditions. I always notice Christina’s makeup on The Voice, because she’s one of the rare celebs who ventures out of the norm with her makeup. It’s over the ... Read More »

Something I have learned recently- Glitter is a serious PAIN to photograph! Glitter is so dependant on the light hitting it at different angles to give that sparkle, that a photograph really downplays its awesomeness. It sucks. I’ll use glitter and in person it looks AWESOME, and in a photograph it looks like colored sand. No fun! I apologise for ... Read More »
Something I discovered at IMATS is glitter in toned down colors. Well.. maybe it’s not really where I discovered it, but before IMATS I always associated glitter on the eyes as something bright, flashy and over-the-top. When I went over to the Eye Kandy booth, one of the girls working there was swatching glitters mixed with their adhesive on her ... Read More »
Hello! I was out of town over the past weekend for Easter, hence the lack of blog posts :) It’s been a busy month! I came back to my xSparkage mailbox being full of goodies (this always happens, the days before i go out of town I get nothing, but the second I leave they all show up!) and thought ... Read More »
