I'm soooo sorry I haven't been posting/uploading the last couple weeks. I've just been super busy with everything! Hopefully I can start posting once a week again once this whole wedding thing is done!
Last Sunday we took engagement pictures. This look to the left is what I decided to do with my nails for them. I thought a classic French Manicure was what I was going to do...but then I thought it looked a little....to simple for me. So I spruced it up w/ an elegant black stripe and some glitter. I ended up breaking a nail about....an hour before the shoot, but luckily I found the nail and was able to glue it back on. And then an hour AFTER the shoot, I broke it again and I couldn't find it after that. THANK goodness I had the nail for the pictures...I was seriously having a heart attack!
Here's a shot of my makeup. Yes, I'm wearing a Lakers jersey, but that's not the main outfit for our engagement pictures, don't worry! LOL! I got my makeup done at M*A*C. I told Tatianna that I wanted a fresh, dewy finish, with natural eyes. It's really tough to see the eye makeup in this picture, but I can attest that it was done perfectly. I don't know why my nose looks ginormous in this picture (cuz seriously, I have a cute little nose! hehe), but the rest of my makeup is fun and fresh. The only thing that I had concerns about was that I don't usually wear a color this dark...I always go one shade lighter. I think it's an asian thing, lol. I also got some cute falsies that look natural. Well, at least I hope they look natural. LOL
I won't be seeing the pictures for a bit, but I'm totally excited to see how the rest turned out!!! Here's a random shot of my hair....I hope it didn't randomly part like that in the middle for the shots! I decided against wearing my long extensions because I had a look in mind where my hair was about the perfect length. Unfortunately I didn't take into account how short my bangs were. So the stylist had to adjust the front...and while it looked nice in the end, it wasn't exactly what I wanted. However, my hubby-to-be was totally awesome and said that my hair looked very Rihanna-ish. That made me feel so much better! Plus I got so many compliments on my hair (and makeup) while getting my makeup done. I was like..I wish I could take credit, lol.
When I get some free time, I do have one quick & easy nail design, plus I totally should do some swatches! A new beauty supply store opened up near me, so I totally will have to check it out!!! =)

Wow...where did this week go? In fact, where did this year go? I can't believe it's officially 2010!!!
I've entered 1 contest since my last blog. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT_7_4w2GmM . KawaiiNails held a contest for "Pink & Silver Love". I entered it w/ this look. I'm not sure if you can tell, but if you put the two fingers together, it's supposed to make a heart. Yes, I know...I'm dorky, but I still like the look i came up with!!!
I also played around with some NYE looks, and I stayed with the black and silver one, even though my outfit was more black and gold. I just didn't have enough gold polish to do the same look. Plus I think it looks awesome in Black & Silver!!!
The black & gold look is basically a black asymmetrical french arrow tip, topped with a gold glitter polish (on just the tip), and then gold rhinestones along the border. The black and silver look actually came from 3TanjaJ3's Golden Glam look. Hers is gold and white, inspired by champagne, which I think is totally awesome. Here's a link to my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF-hc34xaqA , and here's a link to 3TanjaJ3's video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq835Pa1LzM . She even commented back, saying she liked my color combo! Hehehe, it's a good feeling!
On a side note, I did post a video of a Christmas look on YouTube. It's just a simple look, but I'm sure if you changed the colors, you could wear it any time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovOfdjdn_C0
I included some other holiday looks I've sported through the Christmas season. My goal this year is to keep up with making at least one video/blog post per week. More, if possible, but I know it'll be crazy busy till March. I also posted a snowboarding video...I know it's not beauty related, but snowboarding is like my favorite winter hobby! You can check out my YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/PrincessTea1) for this video if you're interested. Just note that I'm still learning...and by no means an expert!!!
I hope everyone had an awesome NYE, and I can't wait to see how this year goes!
