COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL
for those of you who didn't know, i recently graduated cosmetology school. it was quite an experience! my parents and my swinkle were the ones who pushed me into pursuing what i love to do, which is makeup. and that's what my long term goal was to get out of cosmetology school. what i didn't know was that cosmetology school was more focused on HAIR. which i've said numerous times that i was not into hair, and pretty much sucked at. but in time i grew to love hair. makeup will always be my #1, but by doing makeup AND hair that makes me more marketable. which means more $$$$ in the bank.i'd describe myself as a pretty modest person, so i never though in a million years that i could actually do hair. and i auditioned to be on my school's "DESIGN TEAM" which is kind of like your typical student council except you get to go out of town and compete at beauty school competitions! and it also looks great on your resume! so i made the team! HOORAY! and with lots of prepping and practicing i placed 2nd for haircutting
and 1st for team (which i did makeup) our theme was sort of moroccan, so i used gold, orange, red, purple, black, and teal! for her lip i used mac mattene lipstick in Bing with a gold pigment in the center.
TRIP TO CALIFORNIA
of course i had to celebrate and since the competition was in pasadena, he took me to my favoritest place in the world! DISNEYLAND!
we also took a trip to little tokyo which is in downtown LA and we shopped and ate!
we were craving ramen so we visited orochon ramen which was featured on the show man vs. food but we didn't order the infamous special #2. i'm not that adventurous
i found some japanese magazines! i wish i could've bought every magazine but that would be too heavy to lug around. these magazines are wayyy better than U.S magazines! there's tons of outfit ideas, hairstyles, and makeup. these japanese girls are sooo freakin gorgeous! but why does every girl have the same hair color?
i also found some japanese skin care products. i've never tried a cleansing oil before but lately i've been getting a lot of dry patches on my face and i'm hoping this can keep my skin feeling soft. i've read reviews on the perfect gel and it doesn't cleanse as well as the perfect whip. it leaves a film which needs to be rinsed off with another cleanser, so that's a downfall. the perfect whip is made for oily skin and a little goes a long way with this product. i was told this foams up really well with a clarisonic, which i don't have but i'm considering investing in one. what are your thoughts on a clarisonic?
