Doe A Deer!

Hello Everybody! It's been awhile hasn't it? In the few months since I've blogged last, I have moved 3 times, written 3 midterms, gotten a new job, and have generally had an off computer life! Crazy how time flies huh? I thought i'd jump back into blogging with a halloween treat. I stumbled over this adorable deer tutorial on Pinterest maybe 3 days before halloween and it's surprisingly easy!

Above is my test run, seriously this look was shockingly easy!

and here's a selfie for good measure!

You'll need some sort of white cream base, I used an oil paint from the halloween store, not something I'd recommend as it is quite difficult to work with

bronzer

a contour color

black eye liner, I used gel liner

a brown lip liner

clear gloss

and finally some false lashes. The lashes are optional of course but i decided it was time to try new things and I have to say lashes are FUN!

Step 1: Use your white base and go over your eyes, nose, a bit of forehead, and the tops of your checks. On my test run i used my beauty blender and it wasn't as opaque as i wanted so the next day i tried my Real Techniques buffing brush. It was defiantly and improvement but i think my issue was with the product itself. 

Step 2: Use your bronzer on a large fluffy brush and go over the hollows of your checks, top of your forehead and temples

Step 3: Deepen the contour with a darker shade and add a slight contour to your nose

Step 4: Line your eyes with a thin line and bring it down a few cm out of the corner of your eye

Step 5: Arch the liner through the socket of your eye, creating an extreme cat flick and connect the line with the inner corner of your eye and the outer corner

Step 6: draw 2 lines down the sides of your nose and color in the tip

Step 7: Starting at the expanded line from the inner corner of your eye, make a curved line below your eye

Step 8: Add some mascara and if it pleases you some false lashes! Mine were pretty tame, I was doing this for work if i was going out i think i would want some more dramatic lashes.

Step 9: Add some white dots on your checks and forehead with your cream base

Step 10: Line your lips with a brown, I used a Rimmal scandal eyes eye shadow pencil, and smudge it out and add a clear gloss

Finally find yourself some antlers and your good to go! Hope you all like it!! 

What was everyone for halloween? It's one of my favorite holidays and i'm always looking for next years costume!

Operation Working Vacation

         As mentioned in my last post i just got back from vacation! Friends of mine recently moved back to the States from Paris and because I'm basically obsessed with their four footed furry friend, they asked me to come stay with him while they go on a family vacation. Now, as i live in New England and it's supper sunny and warm.... oh wait it was in the negatives, freezing, and there was a foot of snow on the ground, I jumped at the chance to get some place warm! Here are a whole lot of dog pictures and a few of the things i got up to while down South!

                      I couldn't resist taking some cheesy plane window pics. The sunset was so pretty!

I'm not sure it's legal to take a picture of the pentagon from above... i feel like that would be some rule that the CIA might enforce. Oh well, its done can't go back!

Look at this face! Is he not the cutest guy? This is Buddy my house mate about a week and a half, he's 7 yrs old and is a lab mix. I think he's got some American Eskimo in him because of his tiny paws and tail. I miss him so much already. I'm a bit dog obsessed, i blame my parents for depriving me of one my entire life.

He's got relaxation down to an art, huh?

I was staying right outside Columbia which is about 2 hours away for Charleston so the pooch and i hoped in the car for a road trip. Charleston is absolutely beautiful! It's really cool to see the old southern style houses and imagine I'm a southern bell. We walked along the Battery and Buddy basically pulled my arm out of the socket trying to get to the water, had a session of fetch in one of the off leash parks, walked a whole lot, and had some lunch. It was a gorgeous day, sunny and 80 degrees so off course i burned through my SPF, #albino.

I also took a trip to the Riverbanks Zoo which was AMAZING! I hadn't been to a Zoo in ages and I was like a little kid i was so happy!

                                                  Just casually modeling for me, work it!

                               This elephant got lazy, that's a lot of weight to carry around!

Oh, and the best part????? I FED A GIRAFFE! He ate right out of my hand, it was the coolest thing ever!

I love the south, it's such a great place to live! I wouldn't mind relocating once I'm out of school! I'll leave you with one final Buddy picture, because who could get tired of this face?
