Long absence

Hi!
I'm so sorry that I didn't write for a long time (again)
I'm busy nowadays.

Today the weather is very nice! It makes me happy. Spring is coming, yay!

I'm very active on youtube. As I said, if you have accounts there, please tell me :)

I want to tell you about one of my favourite bands.

Tegan and Sara
They are twins! And their songs are really nice :)
My favourites: The Con, I know I know I know, Dark come soon, Nineteen, Take me anywhere, Walking with a ghost, Downtown, On Directing and so on and so on!
Yesterday I recorded 'Walking with a ghost'! ^_^



What do you think?

I want to show you their songs :)



This live is amazing! Their voices sound so good...
This acoustic version makes it very emotional.
When I hear it I feel... oh, it's hard to explain. I'm moved.

And another song.



What do you think about it? Isn't it pitiful? I'm in love with this song... totally.



This song is from their newest album. I love it!

I've decided that I will write on my blog about music, about my favourite bands and so on.
Tell me about your favourite musicians ^^

Few days ago I took photos in uniform! :)




Yeah, this is Josh Holloway behind me :D







Aww I want to go to Japan so much!
Have you ever been there?
If yes, please tell me about your trip! ^^


Okey, that's all for today!
I hope I will write something soon!
Take care, I love you!
Thx for following! :)

The Classic Winged Liner

You've tried and tried again but you just can't seem to get that winged liner done right. Well, check out this great article below I found explaning how to get that perfect winged liner every time.

Products Required
When it comes to winged liner, there are a variety of products you can choose from. Gel liner, cake eyeliner, liquid liner and water proof eye pencils are some of your choices. All of these products have amazing staying power.

Tools Required
Having brushes in great condition is the key to creating a well defined, ultra sleek wing. You can opt to use a flat liner brush, angled liner brush, or a pointed liquid liner brush. Keep a few cotton swabs on hand to help you clean up around the edges of the wing.

Technique

1. Start off by dabbing a little primer onto the lid and then add an eye base. Follow this with translucent powder to set your eye base and add a nude eye shadow over the entire eye lid.

2. Push or draw your liner into the roots of your lashes which will create a thin eyeliner close to the lash line.

3. Next, start at the outer corner of the eye area pulling your brush or pencil along the lash line towards the nose. Hold your eye at the outer corner of your brow bone to tighten the skin. Do not pull at the outer corner. Thicken the liner at the outer corner and blend it into the rest of the liner as you work towards the center of the eyelid.

4. Next, you are creating your wing. Work your product from the center of the eyeliner along the base of the lash line and pull it out to where you would like the liner to stop. By easing the pressure of your brush as you approach the end of the wing you will avoid thickness and a squared edge and will create a fine tip instead. Working outwards will give the liner an upward swing and lift the corner of the eye. For a more dramatic liner connect the tip of the wing downwards to the outer corner of the upper lash line.

Have fun trying it out!!

Hairspray For Your Face - Beauty Fix Airbrush Face!

I'm sure all of us at some point have said how we wished our make-up would stay perfect all day & that wouldn't it be great if there were a hairspray for our face to keep it all in place perfectly! Well now there is Model Co 'Beauty Fix Airbrush Face', a hairspray for your make-up! It claims that after just one spray your make-up will stay in place for the whole day or night without needing a re-touch in front of the nearest mirror!
They say that the spray itself is a lightweight, transparent mist that gently sets onto the face to seal your makeup, making it smudge-proof, tear-proof and water resistant! Also it offers a strong hold to your make-up without changing the appearance or feel of your foundation & unlike similar products on the market that give a matte finish, BEAUTY FIX leaves your skin with a luminous effect. It provides a feather light seal over the skin to seal the makeup, it also dries quickly but still keeps the skin hydrated. Use after makeup application, shake can, close eyes and spray from 30cm. £23.00

Jeanne Becker and Olympic excitement Vancouver 2010

The other day I had the pleasure of meeting Jeanne Becker. Jeanne is the host of Fashion Television and was one of the judges on Canada's Next Top Model. I've been watching her for years so meeting her was a really cool experience. She was in Vancouver for all the exciting events happening around the city during the 2010 Olympics. She interviewed the president of The Hudson's Bay Company, Bonnie Brooks. She also intereviewed Dean & Dan from Dsquared at their appearance at Holt Renfrew for the launch of their line of Canadian Olympic apparel. When I met Jeanne, I was very tempted to ask her thoughts on Alexander McQueen but decided not to because I wasnt sure if it would be appropriate. She was super friendly and sweet and it was great seeing her on the west coast for a change.
