Halloween 2009 Pictures

Hey Everyone!! So for Halloween I went as a Punk Rocker to work! It was so much fun fixing my hair into a fauxhawk, and doing some CRAZY makeup. Of course, that night I attended the UK Football game, so that was great to go to looking like that, haha. Enjoy the pictures though! =)

Just Some New Pics...New Looks Being Uploaded Soon

Doesn't he look cute in his little suit?

Hey Everyone! Gosh, it seems like I never update this thing anymore. With school, work, and trying to make videos, I barely have the time to sleep!! I wanted to make a new post though, because I am sooo excited about this tutorial I recorded recently. It's based on a Kim Kardashian look, so that's probably why I like it so much...she is just so gorgeous!! I think it turned out really well, if I do say so myself, haha. I've worn this look 3 times and each time I get so many compliments. Anthony really liked it too =) If you're interested check out my YouTube Channel...it'll be posted in a few days or so. Thanks!

Here are a couple more looks I've done recently, too. I dramatic hunter green look and then a pretty purple look.

I hope you all enjoy the pics! Don't forget to comment on my contest post here...the contest ends October 24, 2009 at midnight so be commenting away!

Have a great day!

Update: September 1, 2009

So sorry about not posting in forever! I've been so busy with work, and making videos, and now I have classes that started last week! I wanted to take a minute though and update my blog on some of the videos I've been doing. I've of course had several hauls...the latest includes MAC's latest collection...the Makeup Arts Cosmetics Collection. I did get a lot from this collection, but I think this might be my last big haul, at lease for about a month or so =)



I've also been doing tutorials. I had a request for a pink and black smokey eye, and I really liked how it turned out. I think it would be perfect for going out...in the case of my request, it was for a concert.



I also did a pretty brown and purple neutral eye. It's one that anyone could wear on any day.



Coming up on my YouTube channel I'm going to have a hair tutorial...how I curled my hair as well as another dramatic look, this one involving black and gray.



Anyways!! I hope everyone is doing well. I have a pretty stressful semester coming up, but I'm almost done so hopefully it will be worth it! Sorry this one has no pictures...I had already deleted them! But be sure to check out my youtube page! www.youtube.com/taryn205



Later everyone!

Haul-July 9, 2009-Includes Color Craft Collection

So today I had a big shopping day, haha...it's probably making up for those times I just bought a thing or two. But anyways, I wanted to share my awesome purchases with you guys...including the couple of items I got from MAC's new Color Craft Collection. I have already posted a video on YouTube, but here I waited to share better pictures and swatches.

The Damage:

First stop: Ulta

So here I had the intentions on just getting a moisturizer and a nail polish. However, when they didn't have either item, I went looking around which we all know is trouble!

Items Purchased:

Back up of Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara...I love this stuff!

NYX Lipgloss in Sweet Heart (Thanks to Allthatglitters21) *Swatch at lower left of hand

China Glaze Nailpolish in Turn up Turquoise

Smashbox's Try Me Collection Vol.2-Okay, so this was my total splurge here, but it was still only $29, and I have really been wanting to try O-Glow and also another primer from Smashbox since they have so many to choose from. In the kit comes: Bionic Mascara, Reflection High Shine Lip Gloss, O-Glow Intuitive Cheek Color, Photo Finish Foundation Primer, and Fusion Soft Lights in Baked Starburst. Also, with a purchase of any Smashbox item you get a free sample of a tinted moisturizer in Luminous. I will have to try these products out for you guys and report back on it they were any count...or not. So excited about this find though, since it will allow me try many products without spending a whole lunch and wasting product, too if I don't like it.

So I also went to Walmart and bought some Johnson's Baby Shampoo...finally got to clean some of brushes REALLY well tonight.

I also went to Best Buy where I bought the Essential Michael Jackson Album. This thing is AWESOME!! It was 38 songs on it ranging from his days in the Jackson 5 all the way to like 2001 with You Rock My World. The only downfall is that it doesn't have one of my favorite songs: Give In To Me. But it does have like everything else so I think it is great!! A definite for someone who wants all his great songs together =)

So then I'm off to Sephora. I only needed one thing, and that was Clinique Moisturizing Lotion. I love this lotion!! And let me tell you for people who like it, Sephora sells a 1.7 fl oz bottle for $12.50, and the 4.2 fl oz bottle is $24...do the math, haha...I got the bigger one obviously. It also has a nice pump that makes for easier usage!

I was kind of upset with Sephora though, I didn't get a nifty free sample today...but oh well.

Finally...off to MAC to check out the new Color Craft Collection. It was pretty awesome, especially the eye shadows. However, I didn't want to go too overboard until I start seeing what others got and their reviews.

What I did get:

MSF in Sunny By Nature (Thanks to Michele1218 who said it was like so Ceylon)

Mineralized Eyeshadow Quad in Natural Flare-I think this will be especially gorgeous in the fall

226 Brush-I have been counting the day until this collection just to get this brush...it's amazing!

Not from CC Collection:

A Rose Romance Lipstick-Really pretty pink

Electric Eel Eyeshadow-I didn't have a blue at all in my collection!

So that's it!! Hope you enjoyed!

Have a great weekend everyone! Not sure when I'll post again, I'm going out of town all next week. Later!

Lastest Haul!! =)

So last week was pay day so I of course went shopping again, haha. I didn't get too much since I'm trying to save up for MAC's Collections in July [I'm GETTING that 226 brush!!]. I did get a few items from Mac though, and then Sephora and Victoria's Secret. I made a vid recently on YouTube as well so check that out, too!

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p_ipQrKzfA

So VS is having their HUGE sale, and so I had to get things, haha. There were some more lipsticks that were $3, so I picked up two more...

1. Whisper: A really pretty tan color with a "whisper" of pink, haha.

2. Guilt Free: A gorgeous pink, that is still more of a neutral I think.

3. I also picked up some Very Sexy DARE perfume and body wash since it was half off!

Next stop: Sephora. I only went in to get another bottle of Clinique Lotion, and wouldn't you know my luck...I picked up the gel for oily skin! Geez...so now I'm going to have to take it back and get the lotion for very dry skin. On the up side I did get a sample of Sephora Brand Riviera Body Scrub...so I'll definitely have to try that out.

And finally...MAC!! I only got 3 things...I'm so good!

1. Nymphette Lipglass-This color is a lot like Hello Kitty's She Loves Candy, but with more gold. However, I love them both so I know I'll use them.

2. Rags to Riches Dazzleglass: I am so in love with Dazzleglasses right now!! I've been trying to get ones that are different, so I had to pink up this pretty pinky blue one! Absolute love!

3. Tempting Eyeshadow: Honestly, I have no idea why I felt I needed this shadow, haha. I guess since people have been saying on YouTube they had it I felt I needed it, too. Honestly though it does remind me a lot of Bronze [although Bronze is a tad redder], but it matches almost completely with Mulch, it's just Mulch is a Velvet while Tempting is a Lustre.

Here are swatches of Tempting with some shadows I think are kind of similar:

Tempting (On Top)

Bronze, Satin Taupe, Mulch, Antiqued (For pic above)

Satin Taupe, Mulch,

Bronze, Tempting, Antiqued (For pic above)

Bronze, Satin Taupe, Mulch, Antiqued,

Tempting (For Pic Above)

Here are swatches of all 4 lip products:

Nymphette, Rags to Riches, Whisper, Guilt Free

Well, that's all for now! I'll be doing some more vids with reviews, hauls, and I'm going to try another tutorial before I completely give up on them, haha. Now that summer school is over I'll have more time to really play with YouTube and on here!

Hope everyone is having a great summer! I'm actually going swimming for the first time this summer tomorrow with my sister! Hopefully I won't get too burned.

Talk you all very soon.

LATER!

MAC Friends and Family Sale Haul

Hey Everyone!!

So this is just a blog about my recent MAC Friends and Family Sale Haul. I did really good...only spent $70!! I put up a vid on YouTube, but I wanted to post pics as well since I thought those would show up better.

The Haul:

1. Studio Sculpt Foundation NW15: I love this foundation, and I was getting kind of low in the other bottle so I wanted to go ahead and pick up a spare since I was getting 25% off.

2. Bisque Eyeshadow: I know this is kind of a boring e/s, but I wanted a good blending shadow. This color is just a shade or two lighter than my skintone, so I knew it would work great.

3. Vanilla Pigment: I had first got a sample of this pigment, and after using it a lot, I knew I needed to get the full size. This pigment works great as a highlight and also to add some sheen over some dark matte colors.

4. Queen Bee Lipglass: These next two lipglasses I decided I wanted after seeing people's hauls on YouTube for the Naked Honey Collection. This Queen Bee lipglass is a gorgeous coral pink color and I'm so glad that I got it.

5. She's A Star Lipglass: This is also another gorgeous color that is a light tan color. It's like a perfect summer color, and will look even better if I ever get a tan, haha.

So that's all I got!! I have another haul vid going up soon, and I recently did a nice smokey eye tutorial. The tutorial is only my second one, so it's not perfect, but I'm trying to get better. Here are some pics of the look:

Thanks for stopping by!

Later!
