The hardest things are always said last… ( going on hiatus ).

As I push the 100 and something blog post threshold I feel myself losing interest. Perhaps it has a little to do with how hectic/busy my rl has gotten since this semester’s began. Like for example, I took pictures last week and I am not entirely satisfied with them but, I figured to achieve the ‘looks’ I want, I’d need to dedicate more time to the process… more time, which, I certainly don’t have.

So, what’s the basis of all this? Is it a subtle hint into the near future? Maybe… because, as it is this year will be an eventful one. I am graduating in the summer and making plans for grad school or pursuing a second degree. I’ll be leaning towards the latter but, I am certain my performance by the end of this semester will be the defining factor all around.

Oh, and not to mention, I’ll be moving in less than a month. Now, not to put my entire reallife out there because, I’ve always strived to maintain a certain amount of anonymity but, I think it is important everyone who cares understands the reasons behind my prolonged absences hence! the explanation…out of respect mostly… Because, I just think it’s rude to disappear without a word and not to the mention, the speculations that might arise as some people have no problem blatantly impersonating others ( e.g the never ending copybot crisis and the things in between) ~ of course, that’s another story for another blog post.

Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed my short ado about absences!. When I am officially back, you’ll be the first to know!

and as always,
xoxo

Video :: Heartbreak warfare by John Mayer
Lightning strikes
Inside my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain

Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It’s heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare

If you want more love,
why don’t you say so?”

The most exciting thing about sl is dressing up like this and walking around without anyone giving you a ‘second look”. Another exciting part is finding the perfect “scene” when it comes to taking pictures. One of my favorite blogs to visit for scenery inspirations is avatar’s in motion. I have to admit, in my opinion, her blog is one of the most beautiful blogs I’ve ever come across.

Anyway, on to the look of the day- If I haven’t already creeped you out and scared you off-. I am having a blast with the makeup pack I picked up from Nuuna Skins’ store. If you’re into this stuff like I am, go visit her store and have fun drooling as much as I did.

Also, I got that dress a while back and absolutely loved it, except I am pretty sure it would look pretty odd with an overly active ao. Luckily it comes with two alpha layer options so your legs don’t pop out as you walk. And it has a few other options ( shorter and so on) Pretty awesome right? I have to admit, Violent seduction has a number of well made items!.

Spring-time SHOWGIRL

If you’re like me and you watch youtube makeup tutorials then you’re probably a makeup addict who tends to spend time creating various “looks”. After having an extremely busy day yesterday, I logged into to sl and succumed myself to the usual drawl of boredom. It was around this time that I thought… HA! why not make a makeup tutorial? You guys are probably “LOLing” right now but, seriously if you haven’t already, get on viewer 2 right now and pile on the cake! (cakeface would be a term used for women who wear tones of makeup). Isn’t that fabulous? you get to apply makeup on jumphearts AND learn new words!. Well let’s begin shall we?.I’ll call this look the ” Spring-time SHOW girl! “.

This, is the look we are going for. A heavy spring-time look, hence the colorful greenish yellowish layer. I am assuming you’re probably a makeup artist working at a MAC cosmetics counter? Or perhaps a show girl working on broadway? Use your imagination people!!.

Step 1: You wanna start off with a clean base skin. Fresh faced, minimal makeup. I have on Curio’s Lustre-Patina skin in Sundust light. Also, choose an appealing hairstyle, perhaps Magika’s latest release? Called “Porcelain”.
Step 2: Start off by filling in your brows. I am using the brow base included in Curio’s skin pack. Which also has a brown version. I prefer thick arched brows.

Step 3: Apply your eyeshadow color, I am going for a spring inspired look as I mentioned before. So, I applied this Papagaai themed eyeshadow from MEEs‘s latest release.
Step 4: Here comes the slow transformation. Where I applied some black eyeliner. These are by Cheap Makeup and called the gutter liner.

Step 5: At this point a nice blush would be essential to comeplete that heavy caked on look we are obviously going for… I mean, really, there might be cameras there (where ever you are going) and we don’t wanna appear too… hmm…boring. I am using cheLLe‘s Rosy Blush in #3.
Step 6: In this step I apply one of my most significant signature add on. EYELASHES, there are not like any other type of eyelash, they are the non-alpha kinds, so you can imagine the significant difference. These ones are #8 created by ^;^CaTwA^;^ At this point, you wanna go ahead and apply your lipgloss as a heavy lip might throw us into overdrive hooker mode. I am wearing Cheap Makeup’s Miss Priss Lipgloss. It’s a one size fits all!.

And, VIOLA!, add on your favorite piercings, and body modifications and you’re all set.Fabbbbbbuuuuulllooouusss!

At this point I would like to thank all the designers who created the wonderful bases all leading up to this look. I would also like to thank my suscribers, followers and commenters. As you’ve probably noticed by now, I’ve reached 3000 hits. To most bloggers who have been around a long time this number is a mere wave-a-side. But, to me, it means a lot. I am no longer “blogging to myself” but, to each and everyone of you out there. You have made bringing each “look”, an enjoyable fiasco, despite the trails and tribulations which revolve around blogging, sl and taking pictures!. I love you all as words fail to express my gratitude.
