Hey Guys!

Alright so it's that time again! So I've really enjoyed keeping this updated.. which is weird since I have never been one that would be good at keeping a journal... oh well onto the goods!

So this was a look inspired by the colors of the Slytherin house.

Products Used:

MAC "Painterly" Paintpot
NYX "Lemon" Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil
"Ego Sum" Eyeshadow (Kat Von D "Gypsy" eyeshadow palette)
"Gunner" Eyeshadow (Kat Von D "Gypsy" eyeshadow palette)
"Lucifer" Eyeshadow (Kat Von D "Gypsy" eyeshadow palette)
"Hawkwind" Eyeshadow (Kat Von D "Gypsy" eyeshadow palette)

This was the first time I had ever done a face chart on a look before trying it out on my face, and for my first attempt I think it came out pretty well!

Fix+, What the heck is it?

Alright so my beauty bloggers I'm going to try my best to explain what it is that Fix+ actually is and its many functions.

First of All I think I should start by giving my overall rating of this product.

Product: 4 out of 5
Packaging: 5 out of 5
Overall: 5 out of 5
Price: $15.00 for 100ml or 3.4 fluid ounces.

Ingredients: Water, glycerin, butylene glycol, cucumber fruit extract, chamomilla, camellia leaf extract, tocophryl acetate, caffeine, panthenol, hydrogenated castor oil, fragrance

Alright so to start, basically Fix+ is caffeine for the skin, it rejuvenates and "freshens" your skin. It is also good for 'setting' your makeup. Coincidentally, Fix+ can be used UNDER or OVER you're makeup. If I am not going to be using my Studio Fix Fluid, I just spray my face once or twice with Fix+ and then apply my moisturizer, since skin is more suceptable to recieve moisturizer if the skin is slightly damp. After it dries for a few seconds I just buff on my MAC MSF Natural in "Medium" and I get a FLAWLESS finish. Now if I were going to use my Studio Fix Fluid, which is a liquid but has a powder finish once it is applied, after setting it with a little of the MSF Natural I just spray Fix+ over top of it to make it more of a natural skin look (not so powder like.)

Another way that I use Fix+ is to "foil" my eye shadows and pigments. If you don't know exactly how to do this, I show you step my step in the accompanying video. However for blog purposes I'll explain. First what I do is take the brush I am going to be using and hold the brush 5-6 inches away since Fix+ has glycerin in it, if you spray too close to the brush it coats the bristles and can make the eyeshadow or pigment caked or clumpy. I put a little of the pigment that I want to use in the cap and then pat the damp brush in and then put it on my eye, and it gives the pigments a metalic shine to it and makes them look so much more vivid and BAM in your face.

Now if I were using an eyeshadow, I would put the eyeshadow on the brush and then spray it with the Fix+ so that I dont get the actual product wet since it could damage it on one hand, I've heard that it doesn't if you leave it open to dry in the air... however I don't really want to do that :).

Over all my experience has been amazing with this product, I love this product. The smell is a really fresh scent. The only con is if you spray it too close to your face you can look "greasy" and thats just because of the glycerin in the product.

Finally a blog post!

Ok so first of all I'm horrible at these sorts of things so please forgive me for taking so long to put something up here. I guess I should just really kind of update you on what I've been doing.

First of all if you haven't already heard/seen in my YT videos, I've been super busy at work which is why I haven't announced contest winners until now. So I promise I will announce them today. However I ask you still be patient with me for me to get the prizes out to you since I have to still purchase the brush and keychains.

I've dcided to be more interactive with the blog so I will put up differnt things pertaining to my chanel/makeup and my life. So I think it's only fitting to have the first 'poll' be a vote for what look you want to see next in the "Fashion Designer Series" I've already done a Chanel inspired look and I have a few ideas in mind for some others so, from the pictures below Vote in the poll as to which look you'd like to see next and I'll do it. I really wanted to do something bright and colorful, ('tre Xsparkage inspired as well)So the 2 choices are...

Lanvin

Emilo Pucci

So go for it guys cote on which designer you'd like me to pull the look from. I will leave it up for a few days to let you guys really put your input in on it. I just want to say thank you again to my subbies, you guys are really what makes my chanel worth doing.

Also at the end of each blog post as well as in the sidebar on my videos and channel now I'm going to list the upcomming videos and or videos I want to do. If you see the titles like ~~this~~ then it's done just waiting on editing which I'm trying to figure out a good windows based program till I get a Macbook.

Later Lovelies!
