UNIF Hellbounds Review

I FINALLY GOT MY HANDS ON THESE BABIES!!! OMG, if you get a chance to buy them and adore them, do it! I have no regrets buying these. They fit true to size and they are so easy to walk in! They're like right in between the Jeffrey Campbell Damsel and the Nightwalk Lita in terms of weight of the shoe and ease of walking. Unboxing video and looks to come!

Applause Selfie

I am so totally stoked Applause was released a whole week early! It feels like this is the year of great music! Gaga's Artpop will be released in November and Michelle Chamuel's All I Want will be released in September. So much to look forward to!

In the celebration of Applause, here's my take on the Applause make-up.

This was done entirely with eye-shadow, except the lipstick. This was one of the easiest and most relaxing make-up designs I've ever done cause I literally used my finger to apply it and it didn't need to be perfectly symmetrical and it was just bursts of colors. I think Gaga used some kinda of paint or possibly like Ben Nye's for her look. Totally missed her at Micky's Weho and I was literally stalking everyone's instagrams until I knew for sure she left. So happy for those monsters who got to meet her!

Paws up!

I see a normal set of eyes staring back LookBook






I've been experimenting with new make-up styles. This one was inspired by Dior Haute Couture 2010. The make up was very angular and very bold. This probably wasn't the best outfit to try it on considering the colours weren't very loud but it still came out pretty well. I based the similar shade of eyeshadow as my top as the rectangular part and left the cat-eye over it.
Hair was inspired by Cara Delevingne from one of her eyewear campaigns.
Most of my looks are inspired by songs, and I've been obsessing over "Let her go" by SslashHe. It's an amazing song and artistically written. Check it out.

Eye Shadow: Urban Decay's Alice in Wonderland pallet combined with Victoria's secret pallet.
Eyeliner: L'oreal Telescopic Liquid Eyeliner.
Mascara: L'oreal Telescopic Mascara
Lipstick: MAC Costa Chic
Earrings: Long studs from Forever 21
Crop Top: Styles for Less
Lace Skirt: Urban Outfitters
Heels: Dolca Vita Alliance

Canon Rebel T3i and Powershot SX230 Review

I've been doing a lot of filming and photo taking these last couple of days and I've been using the Canon Rebel T3i. I've been a Canon fan for quite some time now. I had my first Canon camera at the age of 12 and I've been updating my camera's quite frequently. My top go to camera's are the Powershot and Rebel. I take the Powershot for like theme parks and beach days so I guess outings because it fits so conveniently in my bag whereas the Rebel I like using for photoshoots and recording videos.
Here are some examples from the Powershot that I've used on this blog.



As I've mentioned, it's great for outdoor events and using at night because it typically doesn't rely on using flash because it has a lot of backlight from the camera that it uses. It does an excellent job of picking up natural colors. These are some of my favorites that I've shot on this camera.

Here are examples of the Rebel from this blog as well.


It's really great for headshots and capturing action images because it literally picks up everything. Without make up, my face looks super splotchy in this camera. Not a fan of it when I don't wear make-up. But it takes great shots and pretty affordable for a something that is considered a "good" camera. 

Some people have their own preferences obviously, but I thought I'd share mine.

Happy Hump Day.

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?

During the middle of making the #pinkbookselfie contest, I decided to take this opportunity to make another look. I'm seriously in love with this hair!! I wish I could have a wig that looked like this all the time.

Yes these shots are really similar but I thought they capture different aspects of the make up or the entire shot itself. As I've mentioned before, hair was inspired by Lana Del Rey from the H&M photoshoot as well as the make-up from multiple live performances of her with a similar style. HOWEVER, because of our different eye shape and features it looks different. I did take a different approach to it and the outlined eye-shadow met up with the cat-eye instead of the crease line that Lana has. Her's tends to be darker and more defined as well with a cat-eye that reaches almost to her eyebrow.  If I get a chance to redo the look I will post it soon. 

Dress: Forever 21
Heels: Nightwalk Lita JCs
Lipstick: MAC Viva Glam Gaga
Eye Make Up: Victoria's Secret Pallet, L'oreal Eyeliner, L'oreal Telescope Mascara

Guess what tomorrow is?
FRIDAY! Woot. But during summer, every day feels like Friday.
Hope you're all well.
