Busy, Busy, Busy...
I haaaate not being able to post more on here, or make videos.
It blows, but I have to keep up with school (sadly. hahaha).
Between college visits, scholarships, classes, projects, studying... I'm swamped.

Don't you love what I'm swamped with?!
It's for my parenting class. hahaha.

Hopefully, I will be able to post something on youtube this week. Who knows?
Much love from the temporary planet x]

Requests?
I'm looking to hopefully start getting requests from people.
I will be using a mix of products from Sephora and the drugstore.
Don't worry about what products I use. I don't plan on showing them in my video, but I will list them in my blog.
Feel free to comment and let me know, or e-mail me.
All my contact information is in the contact me section.
Have fun sending me inspiration pictures and ideas!

My Life Story
I adoreee this. For a tonnn of reasons.
It seems so appropriate, because so many people think they have to be something amazing for their boyfriend or girlfriend, and thats not how it should be.
I always tell my boyfriend this, and he smiles because he knows I dont expect the world out of him. Anyone else feel the same way?
It makes me smile. I love him, and I can't even explain how amazing he is. He could be the picture perfect guy out of the books, but I love who he is. :]]
Off to watch throwdownnnn. :] Not only do i love makeup, i love food :D :D :D

Sephora && MAC Purchases!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! New blog and video update :D
Sephora Purchases:
-Hello Kitty Sweet Gloss in "Goldfish"
-Hello Kitty Pen Pal Eyeliner in "Goodnight Dreams"
Verdict: I'm in love. The sweet gloss might not have the pigmentation people want, but its called a gloss for a reason. They don't usually have a ton of pigmentation. It's so shimmery and beautiful. It's a pinky-orange color that's very sheer, but a good color on any lips. The gloss is so hydrating. It's like a chapstick and a gloss in one. Kudos! I adore it. The liner is unbe-freakin-lievable! Soooo much pigmentation in a liner. So bold. So adorable. I can't rave enough about it. Favorite products out of the Hello Kitty release from Sephora. Too amazing.
MAC:
-Studio Finish Concealer in "NW20"
-Pro Longwear Lipcolour in "Unchanging"
Verdict: Concealer love. Lip colour... debateable. I love the coverage I get from the studio finish concealer. It is buildable, but it's thick and creamy, so your blemishes don't stand a chance against it. The lip colour is beautiful but it has a ton of flaws. I don't know if I'll keep it. If I do, I don't know if I'd purchase it again. Otherwise, I'm wondering how other MAC products will stand in my eyes ://

Beauuuuutiful color! Why can't it be better on lips?! D:
(I still have a stain from the color since I swatched it last night on my hand... after a long, hot shower, it wouldn't come off. Concealer is covering it, hahaha)
PS- you can see "Goldfish" swatched under the concealer... not too shabby huh? :]]]
I think it's worth the price. Come on... 16.50 for a pot of thick and great concealer... versus a tube of it that isn't so great at 30.... MAC wins.
I mentioned other products that were from the drugstore in the video, but I didn't plan on adding any swatches or anything. Hopefully that's not a big deal. I just wanted to rant about them. I adored them. Just to throw in something else that I've been testing out and waiting to share.
Have products you want me to try out? Comment below or add it in the comments on my video.
Much love,

Support.
I'm sure a tonnnn of people know the infamous YouTube guru, Marlena (aka MakeupGeekTV).
Marlena has posted a few videos regarding her weight loss and she finally posted a video telling everyone that she has decided to have cosmetic surgery.
Struggling like she has, I commend her on her life and her progress. She is so so so so so so stunning and she has worked so hard to lose the weight she has. I can't believe how much she has changed since I first subscribed to her. It has been amazing to watch her progress.
After she posted her vlog about her surgery, I was near tears.
She has been so strong going through all of this. It takes guts to tell people you want to change your body and go through with it. It takes... everything to tell people you're going through surgery to finish the transformation. I commend her on everything.
I just wanted to write this blog so everyone could hear her story and hopefully subscribe to her. She deserves all the love in the world. She is so great to all of her subscribers. She has been through everything and I can't wait to see how she feels after this. This is truly life changing, and she deserves to know how much support is behind her on this decision.
Subscribe to her on youtube: MakeupGeekTV
View her progress on her weight loss:

Much love to everyone out there and to Marlena as well,

Lame. Ness.
I haven't gotten to do any new videos (lame).
I havent gotten to go to Sephora or Macys for makeup (double lame).
I haven't even really been busy with anything makeup related (whaaaat. zee. flip?!)
D:
Hopefully, I'm going to get some new makeup.
I will hopefully do a review and video on it.
I'm looking into tokidoki, Stila, and MAC for this trip
*** GASP! *** First MAC purchase. Ever. :D :D :D
I'll definitely post pictures and such on here. Blippy is... very flawed x]]
Now, I'm off to watch gurus on youtube and snuggle with duke ;)
(gotta have the best guy in your life with you.... your dog. tehe)

YouTube!
WEEEEEEEEEEEEELL... I posted my first ever youtube video the other day. I know that it wasn't amazing quality. I'm working on getting a different camera for videos. My question to everyone would be: What kind of videos do you want to see, if any, on my channel?
My blog is going to be more about life things, and makeup reviews (obviously). If I start posting videos on youtube, the information will go here as well, so you don't have to keep looking for my videos to find out what products I used etc.
Yes, I'll still review on Blippy, but the downside to Blippy is that you need to link your accounts to the site so you can do the reviews (total. bull.) I've bought a ton of makeup without my Sephora Beauty Insider card, so I have tried out products that aren't mentioned on my Blippy. Not to mention, I'll start doing favorite products on here and explaining them a little more when I feel like people are curious and I have enough information on enough products to say I have a few favorites (orr, i can wait until I have more people who read my stuff or look at my channel haha).
Message me on youtube, or leave a comment on my Temptu video.
Let me know! :D

Temptu Airpod System
I was on Blippy, and I posted a review about my Temptu Airpod Foundation.
Someone asked me how does airbrush foundation work?
Video Demo:
Blog Review && Such:
Here is the Temptu Airpod Compressor. It is pretty small. This is the most basic of airbrush foundation. There is also Dinair, Temptu Pro, OCC etc. This is Airbrush 101.
The System costs $225. (It's insane. I know... it's worth it though!)
The foundation pods cost $55 (sold in twos)
The Bronzer pods cost $30 or 35?
The Highlight and blush are in the same price range
All the Temptu Components are sold at Sephora.
The Airpods are supposed to last 1-3 months, and I've had mine for almost a month and I'm a little above half way through. Which is sad, but I use this every day. I can't find myself going back to liquid foundation.
I was looking at the dinair airbrush system after seeing xsparkage use it. I went into Sephora one day and one of the girls wanted to do a demo on me. I was questioning it for a while, because she was still learning how to use the system herself, and it didn't feel right on my skin. I kept asking questions and I eventually caved to it. I can't say it was a bad idea.
Pros: + Light
+ Long Wear
+ Easy to use
+ Doesn't look like you're wearing makeup
+ Helps with discoloring
+ Takes less time to apply
Cons: - May require a face primer and concealer under the foundation
- Takes time to get used to
- Air pods don't last as long as they say they do
Overall: 5 out of 5
Why?: It's my baby. I really can't live without it now. I've said I'd leave my airbrush at home, but then I take it with me somewhere because I dont wanna apply liquid foundation. It's too amazing. You just have to see for yourself :]

Decisions... Decisions.
I finally got to go to Sephora yesterday and return a few things.
I cannot emphasize how hard it was for me to finally pick out something to come home with (other than store credits)
Finally.... NARS Orgasm blush.
B. E. A. U. T. I. F. U. L.
I love the color it has. It's a great peachy pink that isn't too strong against my pale skin.
I don't know about you, but I dunno if I could live without this blush.
Okay... so it's $26 dollars for a blush. Hey, I've been spending ridiculous amounts of money on makeup... which disappears after a while... so... yeah.
love. love. love NARS blushes!
Only thing thats a little bad... explaining the blush name to your family... not a good idea.
Oh well... Urban Decay sounds like a bunch of stoners... Nars sounds sexual. Hahaha.
xoxo,
Sierraaa :]]
