Don't call my name... Alejandro~

Hello!

I just saw Lady Gaga's new video yesterday, and the makeup is beautiful, simple, and even wearable during the day!

This is very doable and beautiful, and you do not need to make your face pale like that either to get the desired effect.

I am practicing it now so that I can whip up a tutorial for you!

Airbrush systems- what do I use?

Hello~!


As you have probably earlier noticed, I do sometimes use airbrush makeup. But with all the brands and everything out there what is good, and not too pricey?


What I use for an airbrush machine is the Nuave Airbrush System


www.nuaveworld.com


Compared to Temptu and Luminess's systems, the machine itself is much more affordable and works very well with virtually all airbrush makeup.  It's also easy to assemble and clean and it's portable too!  It weighs about one pound all together so it can go with you anywhere.

It is also a lot cheaper than Temptu's or Luminess's machines. The nuave is $149.95, Temptu's basic set is $225 (and requires you to use their special cartridges) and Luminess's basic model is 169.99 but only has one speed (Nuave has three for cheaper) and if you like Luminess's makeup, you can use it easily with the Nuave.  They also have a one year warranty on their systems and they come in a variety of colors as well.


As for inexpensive airbrush makeup, I found a great brand called Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics.  They make a wide variety of things, I previously reviewed their lip tars.  Their airbrush cosmetics are also really good. They have foundations, contour/blushes, shimmers, and mixing bases/correctors.

I will be doing upcoming videos on how to use the Nuave, how to clean it, and looks I made using it.


If you have any questions about any of this, please ask!

Love,

ObeyBeauty

Contest details!

Minor detail I forgot- Contest ends June 30 at 11:59 pm~

Summer is here... And so is another contest!

Hello~

My finals are finally over, so now I can focus a bit more on this lovely blog of mine (at least for the summer!)

Also- For the month of June, I will be having another giveaway contest!   

You may have heard me talk about or mention in my other tutorials something called BB Cream.  BB cream is currently all the rage in Korea, Japan, China, and other parts of Asia. 

It is used as a base under makeup or alone on bare skin.  It supposedly helps improve your skin over time with use.  However, it is NOT a moisturizer, like in a skincare regime.  For me, it works great under my foundation, in particular my airbrush foundation.  It makes my skin tone look more even, even with other makeup on.  Also, many of them contain sunscreen, which is a huge plus!

For the month of June, entries will be accepted for a chance to win their own tube of Skin79 Lovely Girl BB Cream (one of the most popular in Korea right now~!) to try!

What's the catch?  Since the goal of BB Cream is to improve your natural skin, I want to see your best natural look with makeup!  

I will be putting up another YouTube video with rules and how to enter.  You can also enter another way.

1. Make yourself all pretty and natural!

2. Take pictures of your masterpiece!

3. Email pictures to me at obeybeauty@yahoo.com.

4. Don't forget to list all of the products you used, so that others can duplicate it~

The other way is to make me a nice video of your hard work.   Any technique is welcome- I can even learn new things from you as well!

So don't be shy! Enter! I will choose 1 winner, 2 if there are many entries!

Any questions, please email them to me, send me a message on YouTube, or even comment here~

Good luck!

Bath and Body Works Haul!!!

Hello!!!



I know it's been a while since my last blog- but this time I have a haul!!!




Bath and Body Works was having a sale AND a coupon dealie going on.  I was running out of my Japanese Cherry Blossom body spray (which I use post-gym) so I decided this would be an opportune time to get more spray, as well as lotions and shower gel.


This time I chose my other favorite scent- Sweet Pea! 

From left to right: Fragrance Mist, 2 shower gels, another Fragrance Mist, and Body Cream.

I also bought my friend some Sheer Freesia stuff, the same at mine.  It seems they had given us 2 extra sprays, so she kept one and I kept one for the gym bag.  Sheer Freesia is an older scent that you can now only buy online.

Sheer Freesia Body Splash!

Last, but definitely NOT least, they were also having a sale on hand and foot stuff.  Since I rarely have time for a pedicure (and god knows in a perfect world, we would ALL get them every two weeks) I picked up these.

From Left: Toe The Line (Foot scrub), Footloose and Fancy Fizz (soaking salts for a footbath) and Tough Love (an Alpha Hydroxy Acid cream for removing calluses)

A review on all of these things will be coming within the next few days or so, I want to give the callus treatment a chance to work.

Good night everyone!

Love,

Face Shop Masksheets

Hello!




As I previously mentioned, I picked up some Face Shop masksheets from Walgreens a couple of weeks ago.  So far, I have tried 2-  Aloe Vera and Pearl essence.


I don't have any pics of the aloe one, I accidentally tossed the wrapper before I took a pic, but I do have a pic of the Pearl one so you can see.

The pouch

The mask itself (I look like a murderer while wearing it...)

First, the Aloe mask.

This mask was nicely scented, not too overpowering, and felt really refreshing on my face.  When I was done, my skin felt nice and dewy, not irritated or anything.  Also, not too greasy!  This might even feel nice on if you have a little sunburn on your cheeks.  

The Pearl mask

This one smells really good too (different than the Aloe).  It is meant to give a brighter complexion, I think it is meant to go with their White Tree whitening line (which I have as my winter skincare because it is very moisturizing).  During this climate, that skincare line and this mask is a bit greasy for me.  It is a very good moisturizer, perhaps better for mature, drier skin.

I still have a collagen and a pomegranate one. Reviews to come!
