Tag!

I was tagged by the beautiful Jess at yourztrulyjess.blogspot.com for two fun tags!

The 1st is to reveal the 8th photo in the 8th folder on my computer so here it is:


This is when at my old job's halloween party last year. What I miss most about that job is that I got to work with my BEST FRIEND Rachel!!! (Shes the lovely lady next to me) We dressed up as little girls but of course I had to have full on makeup lol. Its crazy because this was the 8th photo in my 8th album and Rachel has a daughter that was born 8/8/08!!! I think 8 is a lucky number for the chinese if Im not mistaken.

5 random facts :)

Yay this is my first tag thanks to the beautiful JoMakeMeBlush. You all should check her blog out at:

www.jomakemeblush.com ( sorry still new to blogging and my dang link doesn't work :( )

The rules:
State 5 random facts about yourself and award 5 other bloggers.

Five random facts about me...

1. Ive only had one boyfriend my whole entire life. We've been together since we were 13 and he recently (well not that recently) proposed to me on Valentines!


2. Its gross but I'm double-jointed all over my body. Sometimes, I strongly consider dropping out of school and losing weight to try and become a Cirque de Soliel dancer. I am so serious too. If you're ever in Vegas, you MUST see "O"

3. I'm SUPER accident prone. I went to Seattle with one of my best friends to go snowboarding the first time. I ended up bruising my tailbone really bad, not from snowboarding, but from slipping in the parking lot on the way back lol

4.I love practical jokes, but Ill only play the ones where everyone involved can laugh. No bucket of water over the door, no bruised ego, no ruined relationship or any mean ass shit like that. I just get cracks out of making people go, "wtf?!" ex. I told my fiance that I have a sexy picture to give him of me completely shirtless and here is the pic...


5. My prayers at night last for like a whole hour. I make sure I pray for the littlest things like, thank you for not making me hit a red light when I was in a rush today for work and thank you I got to see my friends today. I know it sounds lame, but I think its important to pray for everything, because you never know when its going to be taken away. I'm extremely blessed :)

Preferences

Since I'm going to be posting a bunch of swatches and what not I wanted to comment on my makeup preferences and skin type.

First and foremost I'd like to note that I'm no professional, everything I know about makeup is self-taught. When and if I do tutorials they will be simple and straight forward. I get a little overwhelmed when I see other beautiful FOTDs then I scroll down and read that they used 10 different products for their lips alone.

Oh and another thing about my posts that I want to note is that this is my personal blog that I want to share with my fellow makeup lovers. This is for makeup purposes only so I'm really not going to put thought into grammar or spelling, I'm just writing whatever I deem necessary and relevant to the post. So I apologize in advance for any grammatical and spelling errors. Im a bit of a perfectionist, if I proof read all my posts I would be constantly re-writing them and then they would never ever get posted lol

Okay on to my preferences

Skin Type:
I have combo skin. Dry cheeks, oily t-zone. I combat this with exfoliating scrubs and moisturizers. I rarely break out, but when I do its on my forehead, nose and chin (and its those horrible cystic pimples!). I don't have this best skin, but Its not bad enough to really complain about it. Since my t-zone is really oily, I prefer to use long lasting makeup, and matte finishes. Even though I have combo skin, I usually gravitate to makeup better suited for oily skin overall as opposed to dry

Makeup Preferences:
Now Ill be the first to admit that I'm a CHEAPO when it comes to makeup (actually when it comes to everything) but my standards aren't unreasonably low. I believe that there are 2 groups of makeup, one you can go cheap on and one you should splurge on.

Here are some of my requirements:
- Long Lasting
- No ghastly odor
- Eye shadows must be pigmented or easily made pigmented by use of primer
- Most Important: NO ANIMAL TESTING!!!!!!! I'm extremely passionate about that

As I mentioned above, I try my best to stay away from brands that test on animals. I'm not perfect, there are items I have purchased that were made from such brands but of course upon discovering that they test on animals I quickly threw them out. If you see a product on here from a brand that does test on animals, please let me know

My fave looks are the smokey eye and barbie look. I'm not for the "natural" look at all haha. I actually like pornstar-Pam-Andersen makeup look over the natural-Natalie-Portman makeup look. Call me vain but I'd rather be called "sexy" than "pretty" (Not that I think of myself belonging to any of those categories, Im just sayin...)

I also tend to stay away from bright eyeshadow colors, the brightest Ive gone are pinks and purples. Ive tried teals, baby blues and failed horribly. I also could never do orange or yellow, I just don't have the face for that. I love it on other ladies, just not on myself.

Anyhoo, that's all could think about for now, hope this helps
