Random: Getting my new Hair Color | Rose Gold ombré

For the New Year, I decided I needed something new for my hair. I was debating between different colors but finally decided on Rose Gold. I used a Guy Tang's photo I found on Google for the colorist to find the right shade. They didn't have an exact match but they mixed some colors together. The salon I went to, to get my hair color is Toni&Guy academy. Someone I knew in High School is currently a student there and he had a model voucher so whatever I want done would be $10 because I'll be going into his portfolio.

Before they color my hair.

The process of separating my hair into sections. 

It took maybe a little over an hour for them to apply the bleach to my hair.

While they were checking the bleach to make sure it's still processing.

After the bleach processed and washed out.

When the person was applying the color to my hair.

Different angles of the new hair color.

The salon is brightly lite so the hair color is more obvious but in normal indoor lighting, it appears more natural. The colorist said because the dye applied on darker, it'll stay on longer. It's suppose to last me about 40 washes and according to the internet, I'm suppose to wash my hair about 2 times a week to keep the color lasting longer. My life is going to be full of dry shampoo now~

Tag : What's in my Makeup Bag

Hello everyone! Happy New Year to all of you. I hope everyone is doing well. As you can probably tell, this is going to be talking about what's in my makeup bag. I'm just going to list it really quickly.

Diary : The New Year's Resolution

For the year 2015, I have some pretty easy and hopefully obtainable goals. I keep these written in my monthly planner so I won't forget it and reminded every time I look at it. 

• Have a constant flow of vlog. I tried doing daily vlog but that didn't work out.
• Film weekly makeup tutorials! I written down a schedule on the planner on when I should film, edit, and upload those videos.
• Do a better job at saving money by using the makeup I already own.
• Be more organized. Which is why I brought the planner to begin with.
• Lose 30lbs. I gained that weight over a course of several years but I like to work towards losing it.
• Take better care of my skin and not slack on my skin care routine. 

That it for my New Year's resolution. I hope I have a better year this time around.

Tutorial : Golden Bronze Makeup

Gah it looks a bit lopsided  in this picture but on the bottom one, it looks more even.

Hello everyone! Today's look is inspired by the song Centuries by Fall Out Boy. You can listen to the song by clicking here. 

Tutorial : Thanksgiving Makeup Look

Hello everyone! I was inspired to do this look from another YouTuber but with my own twist to it.

Review : Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick

Long time no blog everyone! Today's blog post would be about the Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick. I found these at Walgreen and they didn't even have it out on display yet. I had to ask one of the staff if they have it in stock because they had an ad in their coupon book about it with a $1 off coupon. She went to the back and brought them out and they look very pretty.

Tutorial : Halloween Cat Tutorial

Hello everyone! This is a fun and easy Halloween tutorial. I have been planning on doing this look for weeks but haven't really gotten around in filming it. 

Life Style : Being Happy

Hello everyone. Today's topic is something that is something I hold close to myself. This only happens to me for a few months and I know there have been people who is going through with what I am struggling with for a much longer period of time. My objective in this post is to offer advice on how I am dealing with this issue. Everyone is different, so the way we cope with it will vary. 

Tutorial : Bigger eyes & Berry lips for Glasses

Hello everyone! It was one of those days where I just felt like filming a tutorial and decided on this topic. A lot of the times, wearing glasses makes your eyes look smaller behind frames. To combat this, I like to use a dark eyeliner to make thick lines and just a pretty highlight shade on the inner corners.

Can you see the size difference in the eyes? I just love using this eyeliner technique to create bigger eyes. The way the line is made creates an illusion that the eyes extends out more.  It looks dramatic now but once I put my glasses on, it tones down the eyeliner making it looks almost natural.

As for the filming process, it looks different from normal because I'm still trying to find the perfect place to film. Doesn't look like this one is going to work because the sun is at a weird angle that messes up the lighting when I turn my head at certain angles. Well, you'll see when you watch the video. 

Please comment below for things you think I could improve on. This would be the 5th video I have recorded and I feel like I'm going towards the right direction but not exactly sure what I should settle on.

Review : ELF Mineral Face Primer in Brightening Lavender

Hello everyone! So as you guys might know, I have pretty bad dark circles. I have tried many different brands of concealers and attempted different color corrector. The latest one I am trying now is this one.


The left picture is without the concealer and the right has concealer on.

With the primer.

Without the primer.

I'm sorry if the lighting looks different in each picture. I'm using natural lighting and because I have pink walls, the camera adjust weirdly each time I move around.

With the pictures, you can tell that there's a difference in the under eyes. With the primer on you can see it's not as dark as without the primer. Yes you can still see the discoloration under the eyes but it's not as bad. 

I like to apply this just around my under eye area because the rest of my face doesn't need the color correcting. Thank you for reading the blog post!

Hug and Kisses,

Diana
