M.I.A

Hey guys!!! Im sorry i havent made any videos in a while. My computer crashed and i have nothing to upload them on. I dont know when or if my computer will be fixed so i cant say how long it will be until i can start uploading again, but i will try to do my videos on my dads computer.

I have a lot of videos i would like to do for you guys A.S.A.P. for instance, my birthday was on July 21 so i will be doing a birthday haul! Thank you for everyone that wished me a happy birthday. I will also be doing another haul on some stuff i got at a consignment store (which is a store that sells your old colths and give you part of the profit). Along with those i will also be having a cosmetics review on some pigments i bought recently. I will also be catching up on my weekly movie reviews as well.

A few things have happened since the last time i made a video. First of all, I turned seventeen lol. I also finally got my car fixed from the accident that happened about two months ago! On top of that, i got a concussion a couple of days ago, I went shopping with shannon and i dropped something on the ground, When i bent down to pick it up i hit my head on a bar(i know its not even a cool story). Shannon thought i was exagerating but when I went to the doctor and they said my head was bleeding! Perhaps the most exciting news is that my modeling career has started to kick off. I have another photo shoot with the photographer i previously worked with tomorrow. Im a little worried because its a two mile hike to where we need to go and its kinda annoying because how am i suppose to look good after a two mile hike and i have to wake up at four in the morning. I was also asked to do a shoot with another photographer who offered to pay me!!! Im not sure how much yet but any money helps.

Again, im so sorry i havent posted any videos or updated my blog. Since i cant upload videos i will be posting blogs a lot more often. Leave comments tell me what you want to see.

DIY beauty (eyes)




Tip#1-
Spray hairspray on an old toothbrush to keep your eyebrows in shape. You can also use an old mascara wand.

Tip#2- Before using your eyelash curler, heat it with a blow-dryer to get a better-held curl, but be careful that it's not too hot that it will burn you.

Tip#3- If you have good, evenly toned skin, put a shimmery white eyeshadow in the corner of your eye to make them pop. If you have red skin, try lighting softer whites.


Tip#4-
If you have bags under your eyes try using a hot green tea bag on them. The green tea will act as an antioxidant which is soothing and calming for skin. When your done, you can rub it around the rest of your face to open and cleanse your pores. Make sure you let the tea bag cool off a little before you use them.


Tip#5-
Another tip for bags is to use an ice cube. This can also help with allergic reactions.

Tip#6- Mix water with your eyeshadow before applying it, this will bring out the color more and make the color last longer, but be sure not to put a lot of moisturizer under the color. The moisture can cause the color to crack.

McCully imagery photoshoot!!!!

I could hardly believe it happened so fast...

Almost a year ago i started an online portfolio to see if i could get into modeling. Modeling is not my first passion, my real goal is to become an actress but i figured it was a good opportunity to get into the business. After being on the website for a while i figured that it was pretty much hopeless. The only people asking me too shoot either lived way to far away or they were creepy perverts. I had pretty much given up on the whole idea.
Then when the last month of school came around my friends asked me to help them with a project(well they didnt really ask i just heard the idea and thought it would be fun). My friend brianna had taken an independent study class for clothing design and our other friend cody had taken an independent study for photography, so for their final they decided they would make a magazine. She would wear the cloths she made and he would take the picture of them.
I used to love to take artsy pictures but i kind of stopped doing it for a while. I thought it would be cool to get back into it.
Moving on, the next couple days after school we would go around our town and take pictures. Me and bri would wear the cloths and cody would capture whatever he thought would look good.
After getting some pictures back from him, i remembered my old modeling portfolio. I uploaded the pictures and not even a week later i was contacted by a photographer. I was about to write him off just like all the other lost causes but i decided to look at his work. I saw on his page that he was from a town only 10 minutes away from where i lived and he had taken pictures with some girls that i knew. I immediately replied to him and we set a date to meet up and sign some paper work(because im a minor).
After all that was done we set a date to do the shoot. He told me that 6:30 was when the lighting was the best outside(i know yikes huh!)When the day came around i woke up at five thirty to do the shoot and me and my mom met him at the park. It was a little uncomfortable at first but i eventually got used to it. We took a variety of shots outside with a few different outfit changes. Let me tell you, if you think modeling is not hard im about to tell you differently. Everything that feels awkward looks the best and you have to hold a pose for long amounts of time so when you finally get a good shot your arms and legs start to shake and go numb.
Anywhoozle...After the outdoor shots we went to his studio where we took some more pictures, mostly head shots. Finally three hours later we were done. Its been almost two weeks and i just now got my pictures back. Tell me what you think?

Cody and Briannas final shoot
