Green Lantern Date Night

so my boyfriend is OBSESSED with Green Lantern and has been waiting for the movie for years(before it was probably thought of). And finally it came out yesterday so naturally we had to go. So i though that since i tried the beauty post last time, i would do another with actual pics of how i looked. So here it goes, I like the smoky look, i think it looks best with my face and features, and because i have glasses i try to play up my eyes instead of other parts of m face.

Products used:

Sephora Smoothing primer

Revlon ColorStay Liquid Foundation in Golden Beige

Sephora Eye Primer

Sephora Smokey Eyes Kit in Purple 1.Base

CoverGirl Eye Brightening Shadow Palette for Brown Eyes 4. or the Black shimmer color

L.A. Colors Supernatural Palette the Darkest gray

CoverGirl Eye Enhancer Eyeshadow in Brown Smolder

Stila Smudgepot in Black

WetnWild Silk Finish Blush in Mellow Wine

Maybelline Falsies Mascara in Blackest Black

Something Different

alright, so i am not just all about photography, i also am interested in makeup, nothing hardcore but i do think its fun to add special touches to your most viewed feature. So im going to try something a little different, and do a beauty post. So here goes,

Just this past weekend i took my mom to Ulta for the first time and on our way out i noticed a sign that said "Buy 2 get 2" on Ulta products. So i checked out some of their gel liners. Now i do have Stila's smudge pot, but these were way cheaper so i wanted to try. So unfortunatly my packages werent flawless when i purchased them, but i dealed.

ok so i really liked the colors when i swatched but when i apply then to my eye the brown blue and purple kinda look the same, i am currently working on fixing this problem. i also have a problem with them being liquidy when i use them, i do live in a very hot place so i put them somewhere cool, but my stila gel liner works just fine and it is in the same place..mystery.

Anyways, let me know what you think of this, and if you would like to see more!

Thanks,

Jasmine :)

update on the Studio

ok so a while ago i promised a picture of my portable studio, well it worked so well the first time I was asked to work another party last night. This time the kids were a few years younger and were alot more into the idea of taking fun pictures together. So here are some of my favorite pics from the last 2 parties,

Enjoy :)

Portable studio

Ok so im in creative mode right now, one of my crazy ideas includes building my own portable studio. Now im not talking about a studio for merchandise, rather, for people :). Now im super excited about this because while i was in my dorm room last year i was using the structures already in place, as well as hair clips and ducktape. Now there is nothing wrong with those things, they let me have my foundation that i have now. However now i do not have those things so im building a new one. This one is going to be nearly 7 ft tall and 6 ft wide and made out of pvc piping. the reason im doing this now is because im taking pictures for a party saturday and i would really like to have this done by then so i can try it out. so here is what my old setup was....

i will DEFINITELY upload a picture of my creation and hopefully some pics from it.

im seriously looking forward to this :D

My Camera

ok so since im kinda in a blogging mood i thought i would let you guys out there see the camera that i use to take all of my photos. Its not really anything extremely fancy however it is more than a basic point and shoot.
ok so there it is, it is a Sony Cybershot HX1, ive had it for about a year now and i love it, the display is swivel capable and it also include the Panoramic sweep function. Lots of trial and error has done me well and im not done yet. :)

Life as we know it

So alot has happened since i was last on here, I believe the last time i wrote i had just gotten back from a wonderful vacation in California with my family. Its always been hard being away from my family, especially when i go back and see just how close they are, and just how close they are with out me. Most of the time i can keep it together while I'm there but when loneliness hits from missing my beloved boyfriend, i crack. He has heard me talk about how i have cousins that didn't know my name or my face until they were 6 years old and how the day we get married no one will come. My hopes and dreams for my future family is that we can be as close as my family in California. I want my kids to know the people that i call family and let them know that even if you aren't with your family at all times it doesn't mean they don't love you and think about you just as much as you do them. At work there is a family of two sisters whose kids are very close in age and attend the same school, every once in a while one of the sister will pick up the other ones kids out of convenience and love for the kids. i want to be like them, even though my brother my not be picking up my future kids anytime soon its still a hope that i wish to keep alive in my heart.
