Makeup I love video + what I wore!

I don't know what is up with the goofy face it selected for the thumbnail hehehe... Buuut! I was kinda inspired today to finally get around making a video about my favorite make up products! In this video I mention what I wear on a daily basis, and then a few items I wear on a less daily basis. I'm not a huge makeup wearer, but I've been using the products mentioned for a while now and can definitely recommend them! 

 

Makeup mentioned in the video:

• Aveda innerlight powder foundation in 02 Aster
• Mac mineralize blush in Gentle
• Two faced shadow insurance
• L'Oreal Telescopic Precision Liquid Eyeliner in Carbon Black 
• Benefit Badgal Lash

 

• Estée Lauder 'Pure Color' Eyeshadow in ivory slipper and wild sable 
• Ben Nye magicolor cream pencil in Magenta
• Mac lipstick in Syrup
• Benefit Benetint pocket pal
• Burts Bees basic lip balm

• Urban Decay's eyeshadow in Midnight Cowboy Rides Again
• Lorac 3D Liquid Lustre
• Mac lipstick in Lovelorn and Russian Red
• Mac Select Cover Up NW15

And for the curious, this is what I'm wearing in the video! Today I met up with amazing photographer Jason Travis and had outfit photos taken for LuxeCrush.com! I had a lot of fun even though the day was kinda dreary and it started to rain. I'll post more about it when the photos are online! :) <3

Hope you guys enjoy this post! Let me know what your favorite makeup products are or if you have any suggestions for me!

 

Record Store Girl comic #1

I think its safe to share comic #1 here now that its no longer in print...! I just wrapped up comic #3, so when that is published I'll share #2! :D Enjoy!

And if you missed my intro post about this, you can go here to read more about my comic in Magnet magazine! The plot is about local record store girl, Lillian (who is real and works at Criminal Records!) and her adventures with the record stores she interacts with at work. I do the writing and illustrating, and the concepts are drafted up by the lovely folks at Criminal Records. It's an interesting project so far!

You can pick up a copy for yourself at your local record shop <3

More coming later on the comic!

Photo post: random stuff I've taken recently!

I've been really loving instagram, pici booth and pixlromatic on iPhone lately!! I thought I'd share some of the recent photos I've edited with those apps...

Also, goals post is still coming! Just a little delayed because I'm still working on them. :)

Hope you guys are having a good week and enjoy the photos! What apps do you like to use on iPhone?

Much love,

Love Letter - List #24

This is Love Letter #24 - a list of all things I'm liking at the moment...my last list of 2011! I hope you guys enjoy it and I look forward to making more posts like this in 2012! :)

 

Shit Girls Say - oh my goodness... so spot on hilarious hahaha - I showed this to Chris and we died laughing watching it because I say/do a lot of these things. ;P The chip part at the end kills me.

I stumbled onto these videos from the 1950s recently and the fashion is so wacky fun I had to share:

 

 

 

Chris got me hooked up onto Spotify this month and I've been freaking out at how easy it is to listen to music!! Now I can preview all kinds of things before jumping in to buy a cd! It's really exciting :) Here are some of the songs I've had on rotation recently:

You're so good to me - Beach Boys 

Our day will come - Amy Winehouse 

Darlin' - Paper Dolls (the image on this video is kinda hilarious paired with the song...)

I want the world to stop - Belle & Sebastian 

Sheena is a punk rocker - Yeah Yeah Yeahs 

My heart is a drummer - Allo, Darlin' 

In the sun - She & Him 

 

Chocolate party spoons! These are too cute, I'd love to make them as gifts for next Christmas.

30 things to stop doing to yourself - very good list and to the point! Read these before working on your New Years goals this year!

Making New Year's Resolutions? Ask Yourself 6 Questions. - Another to the point and very helpful list of suggestions. 

The end of the love letter" on HelloGiggles - Do you guys still write letters or send cards? I try to make a point to do this around special occasions, but most people I know my age don't seem to... 

On the note of writing letters, this is pretty awesome. I kinda want to join in the fun on moreloveletters.com now :)

Love the simple healthy recipes on Undressed Skeleton's tumblr - I've been trying to cook more lately, and a lot of the recommendations she makes are so easy to prepare for fast lunches (and healthy!). The blog name is a bit weird, but if you click the link she explains the concept behind the name which is interesting.

 

loved this quote from Kate Spade's tumblr... :)

 

That's it! I might make a post tomorrow about my goals and what I'm looking forward to in 2012, so stay tuned for that! Hope you guys have had an excellent week so far <3

 

 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

It's almost that time!! Although, the weather doesn't feel like it... We have had a ton of 60 and 70 degrees days here in Atlanta!! A few random chilly days mixed in too... You can see me warming my dog in my coat on one of them! Haha

Wacky weather aside, I'm excited about winter - eating delicious food, cozying up watching movies and spending time with my loved ones. Maybe even ice skating if it gets cold enough!!

We had a great holiday party at our house a few weeks ago which really helped bring in the spirit for me! You can see some of the decorations and snacks in the pics... I'll try to post the non iPhone pics that Janaí-Chanelle took soon!

Last iPhone post for today... Hope those who celebrate are having a good holiday week so far!!

Much love,
