R.I.P. Michael Jackson ♥

June 28th, 2009

Michael Jackson
August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009

I know I’m a little late posting this because I haven’t had the time to since I’ve been working long hours and the only days I have off are Sundays.

I am really saddened by Michael Jackson’s death because his death came out of nowhere. I keep thinking to myself that I still can’t believe that he’s dead. I remember when I was young I would watch some of his movies and listened to some of his music. Even though his appearance changed, he will always be Michael Jackson — who was a singer, a dancer, and of course the King of Pop… he was a LEGEND. May God rest his soul…..

Excited

June 22nd, 2009

I am coming home in 2-3 weeks! I am very excited because I’ll be able to get back on the YouTube world! And on top of that, announce the winner to my contest — FINALLY! I apologize for the long wait, but it will be coming soon… I promise! These past few months has made me finally realize what I want to do in life and hopefully I’ll be able to share it with everyone (:

Oh, and please follow me on twitter! I am getting soooo addicted, I love it! (:

Good night, d0rkstars! ♥

Update!

May 13th, 2009

Hello everyone :)

Things have been so hectic lately that I don’t have time to do anything! I am in PA with my cousin visiting her parents right now and ever since we came we have been working. We work from 10am - 9pm on the weekdays so when we come home, we make dinner and sleep by 1am, then we wake up early in the morning to work again. I don’t have time to do anything anymore! I will be staying here for a few months so I won’t be able to update anything as much. I apologize to those who requested for me to do a prom look. I was going to do it, but then I found out I had to go to PA. So I am so so sorry. As for my contest, it will still be ending on May 15th, but I won’t be able to announce the winner and the prizes once I get back. I am really tired now so I should be going to bed. I got to wake up early tomorrow!

Good night, my loves :)

Tutorial: Smokey Mink & Sable Eyes

May 5th, 2009

I finally had a chance to upload this video. I am still waiting to edit another video. I edited the video with Movie Maker… I hate Movie Maker! I got the Mink & Sable e/s from the CCO a few weeks ago. So enjoy the tutorial!

Product Review: CARGO blu_ray™ Pressed Powder

May 5th, 2009

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Packaging: 5 out of 5 stars
Price: $30 @ http://www.sephora.com

What it is: A pressed powder created especially for use with high-definition film.

What it does: Created to provide flawless results while looking completely natural during high-definition filming, blu_ray™ Pressed Powder contains specialized photochromatic pigments that adjust with the light so that your base makeup always looks perfect regardless of lighting or setting.

What else you need to know: Photochromatic pigments adjust with the lighting so that you have natural looking makeup no matter what the setting, while ultra-fine micronized minerals fill the look of fine lines and reduce the appearance of imperfections. An irregular particle size creates light dispersion, an effect that softens the look of the skintone. This oil-free powder is perfect whether you are getting married, going to your prom, having portraits taken, or simply want to look fabulous anytime and comes in a sleek black compact for convenient touch-up on the go.

PROS: This is the best pressed powder ever! It may not work for everyone, but it definitely works for me! It makes my skin looks flawless and natural-looking. My skin also looks so nice in photos so it’s great for everyday-wear. Usually I would wear liquid foundation, but I don’t really need it anymore because this pressed powder makes my skin looks clear and it’s light on the skin, so I can’t feel it at all.

CONS: Nothing bad about it!

Video Delay

May 4th, 2009

Hello d0rkstars :)

I’ve made three videos yesterday but I was able to only upload one because by the time I was finished editing the second video, the charger for the battery stopped working. I hate wasting electricity so I didn’t plug the charger at the time. I am really upset but hopefully we’ll get a new charger soon. If only I didn’t delete the videos off the camera… I only did that so I’ll have room for the next video. This really sucks.

Has this ever happened to you guys before? Should I get it fixed or just buy a new one?

Product Review: MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer

May 3rd, 2009

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Packaging: 5 out of 5 stars
Price: $16.50 @ MAC freestanding stores or department stores
Website: http://www.maccosmetics.com

What it is: A creamy concealer that provides full coverage with a natural matte finish. Brushes on with enough blend time to conceal any size of blemish. Rich formulation allows you to use a micro-amount of product to even out skin. Water-resistant and long-wearing.

Pros: I really love how it’s creamy, goes on really nice, and is easy to blend. It covers my dark circles very well and also the shade on my nose.

Cons: It’s really hard covering my pimples, but that’s the only bad thing about the concealer.

Updated FAQs Page

May 2nd, 2009

Hello d0rkstars :)

I have revised my FAQs page to make it more better looking — instead of using videos to answer your questions, I just wrote it all down. If you’re interested in more questions answered feel free to e-mail.

Anyway I was suppose to make a video a few days ago, but then I couldn’t so I’m hoping I’ll be able to do at least one by tomorrow. And I’m sorry for the delay for the Horoscope-Inspired series. I don’t have some of the colors, so I’m thinking of ordering some stuff online but I won’t be able to do the series until a few months because for summer vacation, I will be working for my relatives up North so I could make that money and save as much for things I need. So I don’t think I will be able to make the series anytime soon :(

NEW Poll!

April 23rd, 2009

Hello d0rkstars :)

So I have a new poll up on the right sidebar. Those are the answers I could come up with… yeah I know a lot, but MAC does have a lot of products. I will be having a weekly poll as always so if there are any questions and answers you would want in a poll, please send me an e-mail :)
