MUA & Plato's Closet

Hey Ladies! Ok so this might be a long post. So lets just get to it. So I've decided to feature a MUA once a day (until I get a life and can't do it everyday). It will be a photo from a modeling site I'm a member of and I will post the name of the makeup artist, the photographer, and sometimes the model. Here's today's feature:

{Her lip says "DOLL"}

MUA: Alyne

Model: Raquel Reed

Photographer: Dale May

I love this photo! The theme looks like a recreation of Katy Perry's Califonia Girl look. And the colors are my favorites! Looks like this one make me dream more of becoming a professional makeup artist. Alyne is located in Rutherford, NJ.

On another note today I ended up going to Plato's Closet for the first time. I brought a huge trash bag full of clothes to sell. In the end I spent $70 and sold $12.15. They bought only 2 pairs of jeans a tank and some shoes. I could have sold them for more at a yard sale. I'm a little disappointed YES but I did like what I got. Most of their things were overpriced. Like these tanks that still had the sticker on them said $4. They marked them up to $8. That place is not for everyone I guess. But on the upside the manager (a guy) actually complimented my eye makeup today. Odd huh? Anyways Here are some pics I took today:

Look of the Day - A Contest Entry

So I entered MsWhispers's Spring Time Contest on YouTube and this was my look. (Yes I was inspired by the Nicki photo lol ... but I changed it up a bit) I'll post the video later. Wish me luck! =)

Nicki Minaj

Ok so she's starting to grow on me. I wasn't her biggest fan when she first came out for various reasons but I see her in a different light now. I've seen a few of her interviews and they made me think twice. But anyhoo! I saw the photo below on Composition Inc.'s blogspot. The photo is a leaked image from the VIBE's June 2010. (I am in no way claiming to own the rights to this photo!) As soon as I saw it I fell in love! You girls know that these are my colors! =) Her makeup is hot! maybe I can recreate this look for you ladies. Enjoy!
