My Valentine!

That special day is coming...OMG...oh well it's another day to get pretty, lol.  I created this look based on a contest entry of butterflies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H38XOVVpjwM) given by Grace.  It's open to US so check out her page if you're interested to enter.  I loved all the butterflies shown but you're only allowed to enter one entry.  I chose number 1 cause it's soft, wearable and perfect for Valentine's Day.

I have more pics on my youtube channel so if you're interested, check it out:

Peacock Inspired Look using FaceFront/ELF/Stila Cosmetics

Hi,
I accompanied my son on his school's trip to visit a Farm Museum where we learned the value of Bees and honey for our health and society.  I came across this beautiful Peacock who turns out to be a male (he's prettier than the girl) and had a really pretty blue, grey, black, green and coral or so color = PRETTY>>>>>>

 

Male Peacock without feathers (falls out during winter)

Since then, I'm always rambling how I would like to create a look using these beautiful colors instead I think I took it to whole other level...I must have been that bored....no, not really...instead I was being picked up in 30-45 minutes meanwhile I was playing with makeup...oh boy...
