Breaking Up with T-Mobile: A USCC Love Story

I have been a T-mobile client for many years because their plans are moderately cheap. The customer service isn't great and the coverage can be awful at times, but I've stuck through out of frugality and convenience. Last August, I moved into my own apartment and discovered that my T-mobile reception here was almost nonexistent. In fact, I got zero reception in my bedroom! If I wanted to send a text, I would have to step outside or leave the phone by a window. As I have to manage work, classes, blogging and all - I really couldn't do without a functioning phone.

Glam Beauty Board: New York Fashion Week

I'm really excited to show you my favorite beauty products from the second Glam Beauty Board Program! (See the first Glam Beauty Board post here.) Cara from Glam Media compiled this wonderful package filled with beauties that she'll be carrying to New York Fashion Week. I'm truly impressed with the contents of this package and am glad to have the chance to try them out. Most of the products will have their own dedicated review post, but I'll give a briefing here.

The second Glam Beauty Board package includes:

Pixi Fairy Face Palette

This beautiful palette contains five eyeshadows, 5 lip shade, and a pretty pink cheek palette too! I particularly love the Disney Fairy theme. This will be a particular favorite for those who enjoy pink, shimmery angelic shades. (Swatches to come.)

Early Spring Makeup Tutorial

Hi everyone! What's up at your end? It feels like early spring at my end - the sun is shining and the snow is melting, and even the air smells like spring. So in my tutorial today I will be showing you how to create the 'Early Spring Makeup'. Let's go!

1. We start with a clean moisturized face, blotted with a tissue or oil blotting paper to remove excess moisturizer.

2. Now we use makeup primer, foundation and apply concealer under the eyes, around the nose, etc. I use La Prairie Rose Illusion Line Filler, tinted moisturizer from Liz Earle (my shade is Beach 03) and concealer from myface cosmetics (shade 212) . As always we apply lip balm to the lips to moisturize and soften them we work on the eye makeup. Also we need to apply some translucent powder under the eyes as it helps to clean the under eye area in case of shadow fall out.

The Art of Beauty - Sigma Flare Eyeshadow Palette

This is the third and last of the Art of Beauty (inspired by Sigma Beauty Eyeshadow Palettes) series. I've been very impressed with the artist Hindash so far and this one didn't disappoint! His attention to details are incredible. I'd love to see him perform his magic on a real face! :) Watch the video after the jump.
