OFFISHUL 2009 HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST!!!!

Please check this video out and put a comment that ktb8293 sent this to you!!

DAMN Where have I been??

OK I know I havent posted in forever and I havent even done that many tutorials.... But life is totally different in the new house.

We had both TVs in the living room from when we first moved into the house and everyone was happy about it BUT me. Everyone could play two different video games or watch TV on one and video on the other. However, it wasnt working for me and the 2nd TV was on my brand new desk that I got for xmas.

SO while my DH was out - I took it upon myself to move the TV into our bedroom where it belonged. Here comes the problem. MY vanity is now in the bedroom and now my DH never leaves the room but to smoke or eat. And neither happens often or long enough for me to put on my MU let alone do a talking tutorial.

So now fast forward a month - and finally MAYBE my DH will have a job but it will be in SC (3.5hrs away). He will stay there during the work week and come home on the weekends to spend them with us. It will be lonely without him BUT I can get the house back into some sort of order.

We will find out next wk if its a GO or not....

Anyways, a fellow YT buddy is holding a contest and she asked me to participate.
Here is her video:



I really like her concept and have already picked out my inspiration picture.


and I practiced a look already to see how it would come out. BUT, man, I really wish I had a GOOD YELLOW EYESHADOW!!!


Ignore the thick liner side cause I was trying to figure that out too today. LOL



Well, I was also tagged today from someone else. I already recorded this today too - but have to edit it before posting on YT.

I have blabbed on enough now. Nite peeps

MAC TEAL SMOKY EYE - Another picture tutorial!!

FIRST I want to say that I posted my werewolf look in the BeautyChoice.com contest. I think I posted too late to really have a chance to win though.

OK Well, DD was taking a bath and so I played with my MU and did this random eye because I LOVE TEAL pigment. Hope you guys enjoy!!

ok there it is... hope there is enough detail!

YES WE HAVE SUCCESS!!!

ok FINALLY I figured out how to do the werewolf look - Someone on MUA rec'd that I use grays instead of browns and to neutralize my warm skin. So here was my results!!!

2 Halloween Looks & FOTD

OK - still trying out some Halloween looks and want to share them. I did a traditional Vampire look but I didn't have the right props (i.e. fangs and blood) but I think you get the idea. The other look was actually a failure. After trying to get a werewolf look down - I have actually accomplished a LION instead. LOL

I used a whole bunch of random things for the vampire look:

EYES UDPP MAC Sharkskin shade stick Jesse's Girl red loose eyeshadow CoverGirl Dramatic Eyes quad Jane gel liner in Black Rimmel mascara LIPS Revlon ColorStay eyeliner in Black Wet n Wild 514A

___________________________________________________________________________________

This other look came out really well but for the wrong look LOL!!

I am going to redo this tutorial by adding in how I did my hair and enter into the xsparkage contest. WISH ME LUCK!

Here is my fav shot from the tut!!!

And the products that I used for this look:

L'Oreal HiP cream liner in Blk
L'Oreal HiP cream liner in Brwn
Jesse's Girl bejeweled quad
NK eye crayon in Glow
Wild & Crazy matte blk e/s
Mayb Browntones duo e/s
Jane Hip Bone e/s

OH and white clown makeup for the teeth :D

Overall the kids loved it and it was great FUN!

I also posted this look on MakeupAlley so click here to check out the responses and see more picstures.

And here is the FOTD that I just did. I made a video of the application but it was too late in the day and it turned ORANGE. Lighting is sooo important for videos and pictures to see the true color of things.

Halloween Contests abound!!!

There are a number of Halloween contests around on the internet this month. Some are really simple and do not require any pictures or videos like the one sponsored by MissChevious of Specktra and Youtube. If you haven't checked her out - you really must.

Then there are the video contests. xsparkage from Youtube is promoting a contest by BeautyChoice, they are an online store for mostly hair products and tools. You have to submit your video thru their site by either directly uploading it or referencing a Youtube tutorial.



Also scandalousbeauty is collaborating with billy b Beauty supplies. You have to just recreate one of his looks that are available in his photo gallery. And there are some beautiful looks there but be sure to post your looks on scandalousbeauty's video. Good luck!

Then lastly there is a pic only contest that I thinks really great too. Specktra.net is hosting a Halloween contest using MAC face charts. The contest rules can be found here and a large collection of the face charts are posted on their blog site.

Now I am not sure I will participate in any of these contests but I have made a few attempts at some Halloween looks myself. I wish you guys luck if you decide to participate in any of these contests.

And look out for more looks that are inspired from those face charts.
