design : concept 1 : business cards

theme: basic - sample 1 (grayscale)

visual: gloss/matte finish, raised words for logo or name of business

fonts: neou, helvetica

created: 10.11.12 

I felt inspired to design something yesterday night. For some reason this was a easy go at it. I like how I designed this one. In my opinion, it sleek and professional -- in my vision, the background would have a nice matte/gloss transition with the spikes. I can see an "independent business" (something modern or urban-like) can use this. I don't know - just and idea. I guess it's always subject to change -- But I guess this will do for now. I think this is how i'm going to display my designs or "concepts" and ideas. I'm trying to find a way where you are able to make a template for others to use as a free be but still be able to edit it to their specific liking. Hmm. Ideas...

lustover.music: Ellie Goulding - Stay Awake (Prod. by Madeon)

I finally got my hands on the download and been listening to this song non stop. There is something that I enjoy about Madeon and Ellie Goulding combined, she has such an angelic voice and it puts my mind at ease to hear them two together, perfection.

I love taking the 5 South Freeway sometimes. I enjoy that you are right next to the water and you get really pretty views like this... 

current five: shows

Alright, so typically I don't watch cable TV. Lately - I have been flipping through different shows I can watch on Netflix or even stream online. Here are some of my current favorites at the moment. (I can't give you specific links, but you can research it) Not in any specific order.

current five : shows 

CW Gossip Girl - recently Netflix has updated there Gossip Girl episodes. Decided to finished the last couple episodes I didn't get to catch. (current: season 5) These episodes are really intense! I stopped ready the Gossip Girl series after the 4th book, and I think there are tons still available. I grew up with this show and got many "fashion" ideas from this show. It's crazy how it was a "teen" show and now everyone is so grown up dealing with their "adult" issues (which some, I can relate to). I've been stuck on these episodes, they seriously keep me at the edge of my seat. OH & the soundtracks are AMAZING! 

BRAVO Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles- i got hooked on this show after seeing a couple of the employees. how people design their homes, and the price range is OUTRAGEOUS . If only I were rich. Haha. The gentlemen on this show are very convincing and its exciting to see how everything pans out. 

ABC FAMILY Pretty Little Liars - it took me a while to actually get caught up with this show. Netflix does provide this. I have to say, I was amaze with the content had in this show. It was not only aimed for teens and the realism adulthood and real situations. It's mysterious and unpredictable during the season. Twisted, really. Again, this show is based from a series of books. I personally like a good drama and mystery especially with a twist.  OH & the OUTFITS!!! 

BRAVO Flipping Out - haha, this show is pure comedy. He does have a great sense in style and his OCD is intriguing. Real Estate agents and contractors do amazing jobs putting everything together. This one just has a spice of drama added to it. 

SPIKE Bar Rescue - Because... I'm changing my major, I'm trying to keep an open mind on event planning and hospitality (especially exploring bar tending). According to the show and I love how it breaks it down to the science. (Ex. A bars aim, what kind of customers are they trying to approach, and how to create certain drinks without wasting products, etc) All very interesting to me.  

current five: electro

wishlist #1

             bdellium tools (click above)     

    

bdelliumtools | A couple of months ago I've ben trying to find a new set of brushes to use. After doing some research I decided that I wanted to try http://bdelliumtools.com/. My first thought about these brushes were that they had different color hairs. I went on this company's website and read a little bit about it and got me interested even more. These are antibacterial and eco-friendly make up brushes! How awesome is that! They have a lot of brushes to choose from and I am very excited to try them out. (Especially the green ones!)

NARS Blush 'Taj Mahal' [x]

I don't know what it is about this color but it looks so pretty up close! It's the perfect color for a burnt orange with golden shimmers! I think it would work out nicely for the transition from Summer to Fall. I look at it everytime I go to Sephora and I always swatch it on my hand. But for some reason, I end up skipping out on it. I think this is what I should pick up next time. <3

LV Speedy 30 Damier Ebene  [x]
<3 I've been wanting this for so long. Enough said.


Michael Kors "Blair" Watch

I've been wanting this watch for a very long time. I love how classy they look and I love all the little things about it! I haven't decided what color I wanted yet though. Although, I thought that would be a better decision when I can actually try them on at a store. <3 

Apple iMac 21.5 inch

I personally love my macbook pro, but I feel like it's that time in my life where I make my own study headquarters. I really think I need a spot where I can just study, work, and research things. I think this is the perfect device to get my life a little organized! ;)

Ikea 'Malm' Dressing Table 

I'd love to have this in my room. Not only to store my make up but a great work & study table! I love it!

the magic line method


my face looks really gross.
but here you can sorta spot the different in lighting and how the night hits my face. you can see the blush, highlight and a little bit of the contour. 
*excuse the blemishes, pimples, and scars. my face is going through its own issues. i personally can see it. can you?

i was trying to experiment with how to contour and bronze my face. i am pretty tan (esp. this time around transition from the summer) and sometimes the pigmentation on some contour shades can be difficult to pull off (too orange, shimmers, not dark enough). let's just say, i tried to make my face appear more slimmer (note. i have a round face and chubby cheeks). i really do want to achieve a solid application to apply highlight powder/cream. but like i said before, because i am tan its hard for me to bronze or contour sometimes - why not highlight more than! and this is what i did. results? eh i could use some practice. but i like the method and i can't wait to get try this out more and master it. >:] bwaha


i used @gossmakeupartist on YouTube [how to : contour & highlight like kim k video] to help me achieve this.

wishlist #2

i'm always wanting. and for some reason i need to make a list of the things i slowly want to get for myself or have as a gift for myself ;). no one buys me shit now a days. i'm broke as hell - so let's see where this will go. haha

1. Shu Umera Depsea water facial mist [x]

i've heard a lot of good reviews about this product and i want to try this out for myself. my skin has been shit and it was be nice to have something around where i can refresh my face. (i'm really bad at skin care routine and drinking water. :x)

2. Lush Happy Feet [x]


right now, my feel have been hurting so bad but all sorts of blisters from walking in my flip flops. (campus is a bitch to walk in sometimes) i really don't have the $ to get a mani and pedi. i want something at home, a day where i can just pamper myself up and make my feet all nice and pretty again. :] ha.

3. FNUG Nail Polish Psychedelic Holographic [x]



i saw this picture somewhere on Pinterest and i freaked out. i wanted it so bad. i know there are other holographic nail polishes here i can find in the U.S, this just happens to be the one i saw instantly and wanted to get. holy moly, i would rock these nails!

4. Tory Burch Robinson Middy Satchel [x]

$495.00 *
*wanted to remind myself how much this was going to cost me. 

i dont know what is up with my and satchels lately but i love them. esp, when you can adjust them & take off the strap. there is no way in hell i'll be able to afford the purse of my dreams. so my alternative, this one right here. i love the shape, overall look, and it's at a price range that i can see myself working with.

5. Tory Burch Robinson Smart Phone Wallet [x]

this is the perfect size to hold all the things i need. i need stop putting so much pressure on my back with all this shit i carry with my huge purses. i need to start small.
