I'm super stoked because IMATS is this weekend but it's mildly tempered by school starting next Tuesday. My excitement shoots back up again when I attend ISSE Long Beach. Busy busy two weeks!

Electric Royal Blue Liner EOTD

Hey everyone,

here's a look using two of the products I got at IMATS, I didn't want to wait to show off the look until after I posted my haul post. This was using Makeup Geek's Electric Gel Liner (a creme royal blue) and Sugarpill Saint Eyelashes. I have basically been waiting a year to get my hands on these Saint eyelashes from Sugarpill; I was being a cheapass about paying shipping for the eyelashes when they were first released last January and then they were sold out before IMATS LA in June but I made sure to get my hands on them at this IMATS LA. These were worth waiting for; I love the fluttery look to my eyelashes. Oddly enough though I feel like these only look good on me when I have winged eyeliner, go figure.

The camera seemed to swallow up all the sparkles in the look so trust me when I say that it was amazingly sparkly. I applied Electric gel liner for the shape then topped it with Sugarpill Royal Sugar.

I've got my grad school interview tomorrow morning then I'm going straight to ISSE Long Beach. Honestly I find myself a little overwhelmed when I look at the exhibitor list for the show, it's the biggest convention I think I've ever been to (feel free to follow me on Instagram @ohmeohmai to see my exploits! After that, I gotta start studying for my classes (one of my classes is having a multi-chapter test every week for five consecutive so that's SO fun). Do you have any plans for the weekend?

2NE1 "I Love You" Minzy Inspired Eyeliner

I've sort of been really obsessed with K-Pop (Korean Pop) lately, specifically with the group 2NE1. The music video for their song "I Love You" debuted a few days ago and I can't stop grooving to the song and watching the video. Listening to the song late last night, I was inspired to do this eyeliner (I hesitate to really call it an EOTD because it was more of a playtime) after one of the group members Minzy. If you want to see the music video and the look that inspired it, you can click here (it starts where I pulled the look from). Hers is different because it incorporates eyeshadow whereas mine is just liner but I really liked the shape and altered it to suit my eyes.

Do you guys listen to any K-Pop or are into Korean Dramas the way I am?

Impromptu Winged Liner Playtime FOTD

I recently got Inglot's Freedom System Cream Concealer in the right shade (department store lighting and my laziness about going outside to check the color led me to pick the wrong shade the first time around) and so I wanted to try it out in a FOTD. I've still gotta test out the wear time but the wee 1.3 gram pan was only $4.00.

To keep on with the Inglot theme, I experimented mixing my Inglot Duraline (a mixing medium) with my gel liner on the back of my hand to create a winged liner. I read a tip online about how great Duraline is with rehydrating dried out gel liner and after trying it, it really does work. I've tried mixing Duraline in the actual pot but I much like mixing it before each use much better.

Forgive the headband, my hair was looking crap today.

A lot of people like to use concealer on the skin around their brows and I used to think it was an unnecessary step that made things look too "unreal" but I was wrong, it really cleans up the brow area and looks awesome!

Next week is IMATS LA! I'm so so excited to go and meet fellow beauty bloggers there. I was initially only going to go on Saturday but since I have a press pass, I might as well go on Sunday too! It'll give me the opportunity to watch the NYX Face Awards happening that day and to meet a few Youtube Gurus.

Are there any brands you'd like me to check out? I've already got Sugarpill, Inglot (not to buy, just to check out any new stuff), Make Up For Ever, and MAC.

Graphic Liner Playtime

By no means is this a wearable look but was just a thing I played with in the middle of the night. I drew inspiration from this image I saw on Pinterest and adapted it to my eye shape. No tape but lots of fiddling with q-tips and lots of patience

In other news, I'm so happy because I got an A in a class that I was for sure thinking I was going to get a B in! The numbers added up to a B but I guess my teacher bumped me up a grade and I'm totally okay with that. This definitely makes my summer :D

Back to Winged Basics EOTD

When I feel a little uninspired about my makeup, I always default to doing a winged liner. I really don't think you can go wrong with winged liner, I think it looks flattering on most eye shapes. I used my MUFE Aqua Liner to do the wing and while I do like the felt tip, I think the formula isn't for me :(

I asked this before on twitter but if you own the Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner in #11, is yours as dark as mine? Mine looks like a dark purple and I'm really wondering if I got a bad batch. I emailed MUFE a little while ago on the topic but I haven't gotten an answer back yet.

When it's Dreary Outside FOTD

Although it saddens me to say it, California (specifically Southern California) does experience weather outside of sunny and warm days. We'll occasionally experience rain, wind (Santa Ana winds anyone?), and if you believe in it, (although you really shouldn't) earthquake weather. The last few days have been cold and yesterday was quite rainy which suited the winter weather.

In an effort to brighten up my day and combat the rainy weather, I did a winged liner with bright bright lips.

I'm getting better at using my Sonia Kashuk Bent Eyeliner brush for winged liner. I used my Inglot gel liner which I like for its longevity but dislike for its quick drying time. It makes it difficult to fix the overall shape when it dries like iron on.
