Youtube troubles

I am having so much trouble with my tutorials for youtube. I downloaded a recorder and all was well until my audio became way out of sync!!! Part of me is wondering if it just isnt meant to be! I might have to just start doing photo tuts on here!

Anyway here is the finished result from my failed classic pin up look.

Ever feel like you are worthless?

I have those moments a lot!

Now is the time to sort things out!!!

I have been putting it off for ages but as i am going to get a shipment from America soon i thought it would be best to actually organise my make-up!!!
I watch those youtube videos of all the lovely workstations and i am very envious of the organisation! All my make-up is in work boxes and drawers so its is time to for a little early spring clean and to make my workstation a pretty calmful place!

My latest make-up haul!!!

Well I went to Meadowhall today to spend my xmas vouchers and i came away spending a small fortune on make-up!

Here are my buys

MAC Mineralize satin finish foundation!!

MAC Sheertone blush in Peaches

MAC Eyeshadow in Bronze

MAC Cremesheen lipstick in Creme Cup

MAC Shadestick in Gentil Lentil

Then I went and bought some Sleek palettes. I have been wanting to try these for a long time now and i was so impressed by the swatches!

I got the Original, Sunset and Smoky Palette. I also got the Face and Body Highlighter in Bronze Baby and Peach(something). I was about to go to the checkout when a blush caught my eye, it is a hit pink called Flamingo and it is very crazy but oh so pretty on!

Cinema today!!!

I will be going to see Sherlock Holmes, i cant wait!! I LOVE Robert Downey Jr, not sure how i am going to feel about Jude Law tho as he usually gets on my nerves! I will review later on xxxx

Ahhhh

I am having major trouble with this, first i sign up with an incorrect addy!

My first ever blog!!!!!!

So I'm not sure who will want to read this or even if it is just for my own enjoyment but HELLO!!!!!!!
I have been meaning to blog for a loong time now so this is all very exciting for me!
Sooo a little but about myself I am based in the UK on the north east coast and have been obessed with make-up since I was little girl watching the making of Michael Jackson's Thriller.
So when the time came I packed my bags and went off to uni to study make-up for film and tv :)
I love all kinds of make-up especially period and character, its just lots of fun and you can go as crazy as you like!
I am also a major film geek with obessesion such as Lynch and horror so I will probably ramble on about films alot too, so if you like make-up and movies then this is the blog for you!
