FOTD: "Meet the Browns"

Okay scariness!! I just uploaded my FIRST video ever. It's kinda scary. It was an entry for Angelamarie292 1st contest. I did mine based off her "Meet the Browns" tutorial. My fav tut of her. I did mine kinda on the light side. Which i think will bite me in butt when it comes to her choosing the winner. But, oh well.

Also I had to record it with my lame webcam, cause my bf forgot to change the batteries in my camera. So, all in all, my first try at a live tutorial SUCKED!!! :o(

FOTD: "Taupypurp .. no way"

Hi everyone! So I decided to try out the Anna Sui lipstick gloss that I got. And honestly I am the biggest wuss when it comes to color on my lips. I only either do chapstick, gloss, or once in a blue moon red lips. But then Ever so Rich cremesheen glass came out & everyone pairing it w/Lavender whip. It looked so pretty. So of course by the time I decided to buy the 2, they were SOLD OUT. Of course. Grrrrr. I'm kicking myself cause ESR & Petite Indulgence are the only cremesheen that I DON'T have. But, the latter is whatever to me. I 'd never wear it.
This is a very simple look I know.

Haulage: Benefit, Smashbox, OPI, Anna Sui + Mac

Here are a few additional things i managed to pick up this week. Most is from the Sephora sale. The polish is from a OPI manufacturer that my aunt & I happened stumbled upon. And since my aunt is a working makeup artist we were able to get a real good discount on the stuff. And had i not only had cash on me, i would of got a TON more stuff. Cause opi is my fav polish brand. I was just happy that i got the "rapid dry" for a real good price. It usually retails for over $10 bucks... yikes! i know. I also shopped at All Cosmetic Wholesale. Youtube guru's Michele1218 & Mel for Makeup both swears by it, so i decided to get some things from there. I got the Smashbox gel liner, Mac lipgelee, and the Anna Sui lipstick. yes, i decided to jump on the lavendar l/s bandwagon. I'm not sure if its for me, yet, but hey i only paid $2.99 for it.

Products purchased:
Benefit Girls Night In - Includes: "Skinny Jeans" & "Birthday Suit"
Creaseless Shadow/liner; "Lady's Choice" Lipstick & Shadow liner brush + 3 collectible magnets

"Jab, Strong, Fierce" ... I'm there ;)

Okay so verdicts in.... and no Vegas in April for Jackie. Boo... :( But, its not my fault. Here's the breakdown: My bf is really into the gaming world. And the current fav is: Street Fighter 4. And he got sent the invite notice for the above event at Nucleus this Saturday. It's gonna be held at the local gallery in Alhambra, CA (which I'm love with, btw they have the best stuff). So we both decided to skip on Vegas this month and postpone till july. That gives me MORE time to save some mooolah, and which means he's going to work today (wednesday). Get my drift... muhahahah (evil laugh inserted there). So if anyone will be in the area or has a bf or gf interested the sf4 stop over there. There's always free refreshment at an opening reception + an awesome dj, spinning those beats. It's a real cool place. If you do go, don't be afraid to holla at a girl. I'll the one w/the bright nail polish on! :) :) :)
