Tutorial: Spring Minty Pink Cut-Crease + Exciting News!

Hello lovely ones!
I know, again, bad Claire, I've disappeared yet again, but I am back!
However, to be honest, I am still unsure of the consistency of my videos and posts as the most hectic term of school is upcoming and I am currently doing exams at the moment.
But hopefully, I'll be able to upload every Sunday (which is my aim) as that will give me time to film, edit, etc.

Anywho, that's not what this post is about!
Firstly, I made YouTube partner!
Yay!  So if you haven't yet, go and subscribe, because it is free! ;-)

Now finally moving on to the main point of this post- a new tutorial!







I wore this look out to a party and my friends wanted to know how I did it, so the birth of this tutorial.
Essentially, with the exception of about 4 items, the entire look is drugstore, and highly affordable, mainly using the Snapshots palette from Sleek.
I also did a cool ombre lip look, which is part of this video as well, but do remember that the lips are optional, and you can go nude or baby pink if you want!
I hope you guys enjoy the video, and I shall (hopefully) see you all soon!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I am a couple of days late with this post; I apologise, but better late than never, right?
Anyways, happy new year my lovely readers!
I spent part of my New Year's Eve at a "Hawaiian" themed party at a country club that my parents are members of.  To be frank, I have no idea if the place we went to was actually a country club per say, but that's the closest way I could describe it.
Anywho, it was incredibly cute.  All the food was hawaiian themed, so barbecued pork, mango and mint lamb, other meats with stuff like pineapples and hawaiian fruits.
The only downside was that it was heavily meat-based, so for people like me, who like variety in my meals, it was a bit hard for me to stomach and digest, but it was alright in the end haha.
My family went back home an hour before midnight where we probably woke up the world with all the noise we made when the clock struck 12.
So, for me, New Year's Eve was a pretty chill occasion and I don't think I would've wanted it any other way.

Here are some photos from the night!

My look of the night, where you can watch me getting ready for it here!

Nails- Rubi's "Electric Boogaloo" with Bitch Glitz's "New Year's Resolution" on top.

Long Island Tea!

 I hope you all had a wonderful (and safe) New Year's Eve, and welcoming to 2013!
I'll be posting much more regularly this year, so don't think I've disappeared!

Tutorial: New Year's Eve Smokey

Hello beautiful people!
I am sitting here typing this out at 12:33AM on the 31st of December, 2012; officially my last blog post of 2012.
It is truly mind-boggling how quick this year has flew past me, and I really have to try harder to grasp on and not let 2013 do the same.
This year has been huge.
So many things happened to me, each one changing me slowly into the person I will become in the near future, and as terrifying as this is, it is equally as exciting.
Today I have a tutorial to share with you all- a very dramatic smokey eye, with crazy lashes and a very simple lip.
I hope you all enjoy the video, and the photos, and I hope you all have a truly magnificent New Year's Eve celebration & I wish you all the best for 2013!
Let's bring it on!
