Chapter 6

<p>Hey everyone, I know its been a long time. I got sick a while back for a couple weeks and I didn't do my blogging like usual. Then we go really busy with the move stuff I just haven't had time. But I am on the road now on our way to Arizona. My last night in Ohio was very pretty I took a picture so you all can see. We have been so busy with packing, then loading the truck, and clean the house and garage. We have been so exhausted its crazy haha. But we made it. I can't even begin to explain how happy I am to be heading out west. I am hoping that I will be able to write as much as I would like. I do have an app on my phone so I will be able to write while on the road haha. No im not driving lol but good bye for now:)
Love,
Ally

Chapter 5

Hey Everybody,
   So today's post isn't going to be about makeup because today I am a little down. Instead today I decided to cook a great dinner. I made pasta with meat sauce and I sauteed green peppers and onions to put on top. I couldn't make it all together because my dad doesn't even peppers and onions haha. I also made some garlic bread to go with it=)

     When its crappy and rainy and gloomy out I have a had time not feeling down. I also had a kinda bad night but that's another story lol. I took a couple pics to help you see what I mean:/...not fun...ugh

        I cant wait till we move, it is really hard on me here. With all the gloomy days, no sunshine, it takes a toll on ya. I think i am going to pack some boxes tonight. We only have 93 more days. Its getting close but it cant come soon enough. I wish we could leave tomorrow.
        But enough about my bad day. I hope where ever you are you are having a amazing day and enjoying life. I love all you guys=) have a great rest of your day and stay beautiful<3
Love ya,
Ally<3
P.S. sorry it was so short today, it will be better next time=)

Chapter 4

Hey Everyone,
         Wow I have let way too much time pass. But I am here and I have some treats for you=)....
So I got this amazing makeup palette from Clair's. I really like it, but if I had one complaint it would be that there is no matte colors. They are all sparkly and i like some matte colors. The pigments are great though, they go on very smooth and stay quite well. Oh I almost forgot, the package sucks haha. It looks nice but not at all practical. It looks like a book when you open but it doesn't have like a cover to the colors are exposed. I am sorry i didn't get a pic of it before i organized my stuff. I got bead containers from a craft store for them. Here is a pic to help you understand and see it=)

It works amazing, them stack. Well more like they screw together. I love it, I got this idea from a makeup artist on youtube. Very organized, which I really like and cant funtion without. I used double sided sticky tape to secure it to the container. They are in metal tin like things is you didn't know, a lot like mac's products come.

      I also wanted to do a look for you guys. Its a very fun look and it will look great on everyone no matter your skin tone hair color or eye color. i hope you like it=)

So in this it is purple and pink. The pink is optional. This look will look better if you use a couple different purples. You can use one but like I said it will look a little more blended and smooth. Here are the steps to recreate this look=)
1. You will want to prime your eye lids to help hold the color and help them blend.
       -you can use a eye primer or a concealer
2. Then find a eyeshadow that is close to your skin tone or a powder foundation (another thing to help blend the colors together)
3. I know this is going to sound really weird but it will help to get the true purple color and make it stay, but you are going to take a black eyeliner pencil and line the lash line and then take it and draw a V on the outer corner of your eye. (make it smudgy and don't make it a harsh thick line but make it kinda thick) once you draw it smudge it with your finger.
3. Now on the black liner you are going to load up your makeup brush with the purple and pat it on the black....DONT swipe like like wind shied motion, if you pat it isn't going to go everywhere and the color is going to be more pigmented.
4. Then with a lighter purple or the same (a lighter is just going to look a little more dramatic) and pat that on the part that doesn't have the black liner.
5. That was all just one the lid, under your crease. Now with a fluffy brush blend like its nobody business lol, also taking it up over your crease and on to the brow bone but not all the way to the brow.
6. With a white or cream color shadow pat that under your brow to high light it.
6 1/2. You can add the pink to the inner corner of the eye if you would like.
7. Now line your eyes with your favorite liner to define you eye, and don't forget mascara=)
And your done=)
I really want to get some videos filmed and posted so its a lil bit easier to follow me but till then this will have to do.
Remember to have fun with it...it may not look the best your first time so practice=)
But you are beautiful no matter what. So I wish you an amazing day and have fun playing with your makeup....<3 love you guys...I know there aren't many that follow me at the moment but a appreciate everyone that does. If you like it I would love if you told a friend=) I love makeup and really want to become a makeup artist, so i ask for you to help me on that journey.
Love ya,
Ally<3

chapter 3

Hey Everyone,
    I know it has been awhile, but I have been really busy. I do have some fun stuff for you today. So while I haven't been blogging I actually have had my first paid job for doing makeup and nails=) My sisters friend was going to homecoming and asked me to do it for her. I had a lot of fun doing her makeup and nails. I took a before and after picture=) and one of her nails

This is her before picture

And her after

I did a smokey eye for her. I thot it was perfect for her dress. Her dress was a halter top that was black with a hot pink belt. The bottom was mostly white with some black flowers. So I did a gray all over the lid and then on the outer corner I did a black. I used a hot pink on the lower part of her eye under the lashes. A bright bubble gum pink on her cheek and a nude/light pink lip. I also contoured and high lighted her face=)

As for nails these are actually gel nails. There is a cheap kit at Walmart that works great. They last about 4-7 days depending on how rough you are on your nails. I also did the hot pink strip just above the white french tip. They turned out very pretty=)
    
       As for our move, we have collected a lot of boxes. We haven't pack much. We have been going thru a lot of our stuff and weeding out the stuff we don't need. My mom didn't want to pack anything that we absolutely didn't need. I have started shopping for summer clothes, mainly because i don't have a lot of those. I figure I could buy a couple pieces a week and I will stock up nicely. I have also started tanning, I didn't want to get out there and be so burned the first day,with  me being so fair. I think if I have a base coat that my skin will take to the sun a little better. But that's all for today guys.
Love,
Ally<3

Chapter 2

   Hi Everyone=)
        So I know its late to be posting this, but i had to work late. Today was bad I didnt even get up till 1o'clock pm....I know I know, its so bad but when you always work nights its hard to get up early. Especailly when you dont even get to go to be until 3 in the morning. People act like I am going to bed at like 9 pm and sleeping till 1pm...not the case at all. Anyways...When I got ready for work today i made sure i had a lot of time to take my time on my makeup. Surpisingly it turned out good lol. That is also what I wanted to talk about in this post.
       Makeup is fun, you dont need the top of the line stuff to look good. I use more inexpensive stuff and I get a lot of complements on my makeup. I use lines like Wet and Wild, Cover Girl, Loreal, Almay and Maybelline and they work well. I wanted to tell you what some of my favorite products are, cuz I hate when you are standing there in front of all the lines and think well which one works? But my favorite mascara is Loreal I think its amazing. It makes your lashes look full and long. My  favorite lip color is Loreal's infallible lip color, 510 is my shade lol. It stays put and will last all day long. I think Maybelline has the some of the best eyeshadows out there. They stay put and they have such great colors. When it to applying eyeshadows the key is to apply lots of layers of different shades and blend well(with a fluffy brush). Eyes are my favorite to do. But enough makeup talk tonight lol, there will be more tricks and tips later on haha=)
       So about the move, we have started packing, which excites me so much. It is about 4 months or 140 days. It is making it more real for me. But at the same time it scares me too. I think i hope we are ready by then, and such. I feel like starting now is good because to takes some of the anxiety outta moving.  Being organized is great when you are moving. When we moved here I didnt pack well and I did it in such a rush. I just thru shit in a box and went with it. This time I'm NOT doing that lol. But I have to go for tonight. If you are reading this before bed i wish you sweet dreams and sleep well, or if you are reading it in the morning I wish you an amzing day, stay positive and have joy in everything you do=)
With so much love,
Ally

And if anyone would like to follow this to see whats going on you can, it will be fun=) i might post pic and videos about my makeup life to so stay tuned=)
