OPI Katy Perry Collection

Yes indeed!

OPI and Katy Perry have launched a unique collection together this month.

To be honest I am excited about this collection because I do admit that Katy Perry is one of inspiration when it comes to nail art...I'm always on People.com looking for inspiration nail polish pics and she is always featured. I hope I can fit this collection into my budget this month.

Makeup Inspiration: Kim Khadasrian

Hey beauties!

I know she may not be liked much for whatever reasons but who can't admit that her makeup is always badass? lol! Not to mention the fact that she may not have perfect flawless skin underneath...now that's good makeup application that gives the illusion of flawless skin, her MUAs knows what they are doing!

Kim inspires me in the makeup area, more and more, especially since I saw her shopping at MAC Cosmetics more than once on YouTube and not to mention her makeup storage (as seen on her reality show) which stores tons and tons of MAC makeup...now how cool is it that Kim (or any other celeb) uses the same brand of makeup that I use and love? I recently watched a Makeup Tutorial by Kim and her MUA on YouTube and she does in fact use MAC alongside other brands.

Here are some of her makeup looks that I adore:

Be Inspired: Asian Bridal Look

Hello chicas!

Today I have another look for you inspired by this beautiful bridal pic....

Loudmouth Orange

Hey y'all just one of my first Looks for 2011....the lipstick is MAC's Morange. I paired it with MAC Plushlash Mascara which I loveeeeeeeeeeee....check out how huge and "plush" my lashes look!

Morange is a very bold, in your face orange...not your everyday lipstick but can be toned down. MAC describes this lipstick as a "loudmouth orange" which it really is....look out for a tutorial on this look.

How To Dry Nail Polish



Hi everyone, Happy New Years again!

This is my first post for 2011 and I just wanted to share some tips with you on how to make your nail polish dry quickly.

These days there are so many brands of nail polishes to choose from and the quality of nail polishes are improving even cheaper brands like LA Girl are making their nail polishes to be more smooth, quick drying, glossy and all that good stuff.

So after you have gone out and buy that high quality nail polish from the latest collections....how do you get it to dry fast so you can avoid smudging?

Well you can adopt anyone of these methods:

• You can use the old method of using a small fan such as the clip on ones available at variety stores.
• A hair dryer could also be used to dry nail polish by keeping it on low power and operating it in a way to avoid smudging.
• Before applying your nail polish, gather some cold water in a bowl and after applying the nail polish slowly immerse your nails into the cold water for about 2-3mins.
• About 30 mins before applying your nail polish, place the nail polish bottle in the refrigerate and use immediately.
• Quick drying Nail Polish Sprays can also be used and are available at various cosmetics store (Pennywise)
• Another method is using a top coat of palm oil or olive oil after applying your last coat of nail polish. To do this, clean an old nail polish bottle with acetone, wash then dry before filling the bottle with the oil.
• Nail dryer devices are also available online at at beauty stores and nail supply stores. Higher end nail dryers use UV rays but UV ray dryers are known to cause cancer and are used at your own risk.

Eye Candy Special's 2010 Review

Hello to you all!

This is it...the last Post for 2010! As we count down the hours to a new year, I would first like to wish you all Peace, Good Health, Strength, Joy and Happiness and I pray that you all are surrounded by positive people in 2011 and beyond. I thank you all for supporting me all the way, I would have never dreamed of having this much love and support especially all of you who became a Fan on Facebook and to you all who take time out of your busy life to watch my YouTube videos :] I love you all MUAH!!!!!!

Now, let's get straight to the Eye Candy Special's achievements which you all contributed to:

• After entering the Sacha Cosmetics MUA Competition in May 2010 and receiving so many positive feedback, I start the Facebook Fan Page, Eye Candy Special.
• As I type this Blog Post, Eye Candy Special currently has 432 Fans on Facebook!
• Shortly after starting the Facebk Fan Page I decided to create a Blog for Eye Candy Special.
• 19 Followers on this Blog!!!
• I was running Eye Candy Special on Facebook and on Blogger....doing Makeup Looks, having discussions, keeping y'all up to date the best I can on the latest products, etc...then I decided its time to start a YouTube Channel!
• I was shy and very hesitant  at first about doing YouTube vids because I was worried about people being all up in my personal business on the Internet...but y'all were my Motivators and now Eye Candy Special has a Channel on YouTube!
• 37 Subscribers currently on YouTube!
• The goal was not to get the most Subscribers but to be effective to my viewers and subscribers and bring the vids that would excite them, even if I only had 10 viewers....so 37 is alot!
• Recently Trinidad and Tobago's Miss Universe, La Toya Woods visited this Blog and read the Post about her, she also became a Fan and a Follower of Eye Candy Special's networks...this meant alot to me, because I am inspired by her...Thank You La Toya, it goes to show how down to earth you are.

These are just a few of the major accomplishments for Eye Candy Special...Thank you all for giving me the support and encouragement so that I could of have the confidence to do it. My time became very limited since I started working fulltime and studying as well, so I haven't have as much time as I wanted to do Looks and Vids for Eye Candy Special but I promise from the beginning of 2011 I ask God, I will organize my time better so that I can spend time blogging and doing vids because this is all my hobby.

God Bless each and every one of you...see you in the New Year!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEARS
