Day ‘n’ Night!

This is part two of the other video I posted on Tuesday. I turn the daytime/neutral look into something a little more (me!) dramatic. During recording the first video and this one I recorded a lip tutorial on how to perfect lip color, and decided to leave that color on to show how just changing something as simple as the lips can change the whole look. Then you also see how it looks with the more dramatic eye, which shows you can create a multitude of looks just by tweaking the products you already have on. Product list and photos after the jump.

Try it and have fun with it!

New Newt Neutral…

Fresh out the oven, part one of two! But you have to wait for the second part. ;) Keepin’ it neutral this time around, in the video my right (left side of screen) eye doesn’t has as much Arena as my left eye. Didn’t really notice it until I was editing, but what can you do? Photos and product list after the jump.

Purple Pageant People Eater

Purple Pageant People Eater

If you complain about something I do, it only makes me want to do it even more, and that is where this look came from. I got complaints for ‘too many’ drag videos, when they were talking about my everyday makeup tutorials. So to make them happy, we did it up super pretty pretty princess pageant style! A full list of products used and photos are after the jump!

Check out Lauren’s original look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8Vwp5fbqkg . A full list of products used and a photo of the look after the jump.

Hello!

Hello!

I’m still not done with changing things on here, but I’ve been getting asked A LOT when I was going to bring my site back. I just threw some temporary things together until I actually sit down & make the logo+banner I want to use.

From now on like before I’ll be posting photos of the looks I did in the tutorial, & the list of products I used. A new thing I’ll be doing are “Petriviews” get it? Petrilude + Review. I like it, don’t judge me. Hah! Since I’m not a big fan of reviews there won’t be a ton of them, but I’ll reviews things sporadically whenever I purchase or am sent something new & exciting.

Make sure you also check out the new FAQ (which still isn’t done) under the pages tab up top. ;)

When Love Takes Over

I looove this song! Well at least I did, until it was played out. Hah! Anyway… I thought it would be cool to recreate Kelly’s makeup from the video, but never got around to doing it. Then I started getting requests at the beginning of June, and still have been getting them up until now. When I searched for the video I saw that someone beat me to it, but I don’t care! I decided to do it anyway. :)

Solar System: Night Sky

Starting a new series, based on things in the night sky. So, planets, stars, asteroids, galaxies, horse-head nebula, etc. etc. For the first tutorial I’m just going right to the main thing.. The sky, a night sky to be exact. Everything revolving around outer space has to start with the sky (at least when looking at everything from here on Earth). Remember, if this is to much look for you just tone it down, don’t extend everything so far out, wear a nude lip, anything! There are many many ways to alter a look to better fit your own personal style. Just do whatever you find best fits in your own comfort zone. Think of tutorials more like we’re drawing the outline, and you fill in the picture however you want, not a color by numbers book where you have to do it exactly how it says. Thats boring! With all that said, make sure you check out the video below. :)

I posted a photo on the look, & a full list of all the products I used after the jump. Continue Reading…

Carbon Fibre nails

carbonnails I got asked eleventy bajillion times in my three latest videos to do a video, or explain how I did my nails that look like fishnet up close, or carbon fibre from a little distance. Let me tell you, this is SO easy to do that a five year old could do it! I just used my Konad stamp, & image plate to get the design. With the Konad kit I highly recommend using their special nail polishes for the designs, & trust me on this! The image will show up 500 times more opaque using their polish instead of using a regular one. The only reason I used the Sally Hansen Chrome for the design is because they’re SO opaque that unlike other normal nail lacquer it works when being stamped. To find out which of your polishes work & do not, just play around with it, and have some fun! Make sure you check out wowsocool.com to get all the stuff I used, & don’t forget to mention ’sayanythingbrooke’ or ‘xsparkage’ as a coupon while checking out to get 20% off your order!
