Tutorial: Rustic Gold Makeup

Here is my FIRST Photo Tutorial!!

FINISH LOOK PHOTO

This look can also work as a Valentine's Day Look if you are looking for something simple and easy to accomplish. You can adjust this look to your liking depending on how you want to wear it. I have been wearing this eye makeup for a long while up until I changed hair color from orange-red to black. Hope you all enjoy this tutorial.

FOUNDATION:
- Snail BB Cream Foundation SPF30++
- FLOWER Cover Stick Makeup by Drew Barrymore
- MaryKay Loose Powder in Ivory 1
- E.L.F. Kabuki Brush
- FITme Finishing Powder in 325 (Used for Contouring)

CIRCLE LENS:
- EOS Candy Brown
I personally really like these circle lens because they make my eye color look lighter. With the Black ring on the outside, it also makes my eyes appear bigger and very dolly like. These lens are ones I always order over and over again because they are comfy too.

EYELIDS:
- Eyelid Tape (OPTIONAL)
You really don't need eyelid tape but I wanted to wear eyelid tape. The eyelid tape helps make a bigger/thicker crease line as you can see from the picture. I have natural double eyelids but from time to time randomly, One of my eyes turns into a mono-lid.

Apply your Eyelid Primer OPPOSITE from how you usually might apply like the picture.

Using a Copper Cream Eyeshadow, Apply right in the middle of your lids.

Using a Linear Brush, Use a Rustic Red and Line it close to your eyes and 1/3 of the bottom outer corner.

Use a Matte Dark Brown Eyeshadow and apply on your outer top 1/3 brushing it back and forth dragging the color on to your crease line and whatever s left on the brush to the bottome edge of your eyes.

Apply Red Eyeshadow to the center of your lids on top of the copper eyeshadow. Lightly window-wipe the color in a tear drop downward sweap towards to give your brown and red a mix.

For a highlighting color, I choose a Pale Yellow instead of the shimmer white color because this will make your eyes appear more natural and the colors will appear more rustic.

EYEBROWS:
- Matte Brown
- Dolly Wink Otana Eyebrow Mascara #1
I just colored in my eyebrowns in it's natural curve and the applied the eyebrow mascara afterwards and this makes my eyebrows colored. Straight eyebrows also work really well with this makeup look too.

LINEAR:
Using a pencil linear, Line your TOP waterline. No need to exaggerate the line. You just want to color in your top waterline to make a more full on look with top lashes.

LINEAR:
Now using your liquid/gel linear, you want to line close as possible to your top waterline from the first 2/3 of your eyes. outer 1/3, you can make a little thicker and at the end, drag the linear down to create a droopy/puppy eye look.
KEY POINT: Inner eye and Outer Eye lines should match straight.

EYELASHES:
When Applying lashes, you must apply from the outer inwards. Start y placing lashes from where you eye linear end outwards and apply on. This will give your eyes a bigger look.
BOTTOM LASHES ARE OPTIONAL. If applying bottom lashes, it's the same concept.

APPLYING BLUSH:
- Love&Beauty Blush #3 from Forever 21 Makeup
- FITme Blush in Deep Rose
I personally like applying cream blush first because it makes my blush last longer. I apply cream and powder both in raindrop forms but not one on top of the other. I sweep the powder blush upwards but don't apply directly.

LIPS:
- E.L.F. Lipstick in "POSH"
I first wear lip balm.
When wearing lipstick, apply more on my inner bottom lips and then close my lips rubbing it around all over my lips to give it a tinted look but with color. This also makes my lips look smaller too.

FINISH LOOK

This is the finished look full on face.

You can modify this look to your liking and feel free to change/add on things to your look. I just wanted to share this makeup look with you all because I really like this rustic color a lot. Hopefully you all enjoyed this look and I will be doing a lot more picture tutorial on my blog.

ASK&TELL: Bullying?! How to and Not to

Bullying is something WE ALL deal with in our lives.

When I was growing up, bullying was everywhere from school to the streets.
Recently, my nephew was just bullied for being a little different by the way he answers the teachers questions and he's only 12 soon turning 13. I was really surprised and unaware because he is always so happy around me. I realized that it was probably harder for him to come tell me that he was being bullied since he is still young and afraid of being more picked on at school if he told a grown up. I was actually the first person he told and not too many days after, my other nephew told me that he was being bullied too.
The big question that they asked me was, "What should they do?"
These answers can relate to older and younger people. This can also help with even cyber bullying that is happening a lot more in our world of technology.

I notice that it's harder to know whom or when someone is getting bullied because they person being bullied is scared to say so like my nephews. I feel that it is important to listen and most importantly, be open-minded. This should kind of be step one because if you just assume right away, you forget what is really important which is making the person bullied feel comfort.


Afterwards, make a plan.

I don't mean, 'Get an army and go bully the bully." 
Most people would assume so and when you're older, it may seem like the right thing but in reality, you are only causing more trouble. Especially for kids, you really just want to make sure they feel safe at school or wherever they are getting bullied wither it is the bus or even just walking home. Make sure you have a back-up plan like a "B" just in case it doesn't work or the bully doesn't listen.

If you are like my nephew who already told an adult at school, nothing is really being done, and your friends are also scared to help because they might get hurt, Tell someone like a family/relative you trust to come and talk to the school and parents of the bully. I know it may seem like a home stretch but I had to do this for him and I did tell my sister-in-law, of course, that I was doing this for my nephew. It may seem crazy but if in a high school situation this was happening, it just means you really have to tell you parents or siblings because in high school, you start to realize that, sometimes, not everyone will stop to help and maybe they will or won't but it really just depends.

The same is with cyber bullying. If you are being cyber bullied, you really have to think what is best for you by deleting your cyber bully. If that person still is bothering you somehow by telling lies to everyone about you, you just really have to stop whatever social networking you are doing wither it s Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr for a while because if you keep adding gas to the fire, the fire will only keep growing. Bullies are like small flames. You don't want to add your own flame and gas to theirs because it will only get bigger. Sometimes, you have to stop and walk away. Don't let it get to you. If you have friends, ask them to help you if they can.

Bullying is so bad right now in our society today and it will only get worse if all we do is sit around and watch it happen right in front of our eyes. As a girl, I feel like bullying happens a lot with 'hating' or 'disliking' because someone has the better stuff or even looks better. I admit, I get bullied too from online more than I do in person because the internet 'shows us' from pictures and not from 'personality.'

I can't say that I am perfect and that you will be alright.
Everyone will have a different pace of healing and re-grouping themselves together. Even now, my nephew has grown a fear of answering question in the classroom and I don't blame him from after being bullied. For each person, it takes a different time to heal and re-adapt themselves again to society. What I can say  is that, one day, my nephew will be able to answer a question again in the classroom and I am not sure when that day comes but when it does, I am just going to be proud and happy for him.

I really wanted to talk about this in general because I've I feel like bullying is starting a lot younger now and not only that, this was they first time for me as a older teen/adult to see that even at school, the teachers or school took no action to help. It was actually really heartbreaking to see this happen in my community.

Review: Order&Purchase from Lensvillage.com [PART1/2]

Well, Hello Everybody!!
WARNING: Picture Heavy~
Happy Holidays, Happy Christmas, Merry Christmas, and much more!!!
I am spending my Holidays with my family and friends. How about everyone else?
Today's awesome post is about my circle lenses from Lensvillage.com which has quite a few variety of lens choices from GEO to iFairy. I actually like that they have the Kimchi series because I have been hearing a lot of great things about circle lenses and I really wanted to try it out for myself.
So here is my review and I am actually going to break this into 2 parts so please stay tune for that!!

Let me Begin!!
So, right before Christmas, I received my circle lenses I had ordered from Lensvillage.com which did take a lot longer than I thought because they were coming from Singapore. I ordered these lenses about 1 1/2-2 weeks ago so it is actually the right amount of time it should or might have taken. You can pay more for a faster shipping but to be honest, my order was free shipping and I had time to spare/wait, so I just kind of took the free shipping anyways.

The package came within a Plastic Wrap which makes it look very complete and together. This really makes me feel like they took the time to arrange the order and ship the  package out. It also came with lens cases so that I can put the circle lenses in them.

COMES WITH: Lens Cases, Circle Lenses which is wrapped safely and secured, Business Card, and a Care Instruction to wear and care for Circle Lenses for first time users.

The lens cases were animal shapes and it also came with their business card which is very helpful on contacting, following, and for their site. The business card is very cute and colorful which is very eye catching to me because I love cute things. The animal cases were super cute and also came in their own plastic wrap so you know that they are new and ready to be cleaned and use.
I had gotten a yellow fish, pink pig, and a blue bear for lens case.

Now for the Circle Lenses.
I love how they really secured the circle lenses and wrapped them safe. They also secured it with tape so that the circle lenses don't fall out and that is brilliant and awesome. I am glad that my circle lenses came to me shipped safely.

I ordered 3 pairs of circle lenses. They had this awesome deal on GEO lenses and so I took the opportunity and advantage to pay about $6.50 cheaper for GEO circle lenses and and then I really wanted to try the Kimchi Series so I ordered a pair from that series. The GEO lenses have the 'Authenticity' sticker and I am very sure that the kimichi series from Lensvillage is REAL and safe for the eyes.
The circle lenses I ended up getting was the Princess MiMi Green Apple, GEO Olive/Honey Wing in Grey, and the Kimichi Viva Blue.

I am actually really excited to try the Kimchi Viva Blue lenses because I have been hearing a lot of GREAT things from this series. This series is a branch from the iFairy series.

In Conclusion....
I am happy to say that the shipping does take long depending on where you are located. If you want to check out how long it will take to reach you, please make sure that you check out their shipping/faq link for more information on that. For me personally, I don't mind waiting and waiting keeps me happy and excited to try these circle lenses!!

Overall, I have to say, it was worth the wait and I am happy to try these lenses to give you all a review. I am pretty sure there is a lot of reviews on these lenses but I just want to share my own personal experience on them with you but that is not until part 2 of my review.

I am officially off to bed since it is way way past my bedtime and I am pretty sure that my Boyfriend is not happy about since I am still up blogging about this. I am also very tired and tried very hard to edit the pictures to add font to them. I hope you all enjoy this post and stay tune for my video review and more but until then, I will be off resting as of right now.
