Early Birthday Dream Wishes.

So my birthday is coming up...My 21st birthday !!! ha-ha It's a big one ! And its still about a month away but I am oh so excited :D I cant decide how I want to spend it ...I mean ideally I would go to Las Vegas[cliche'] and gamble, party and drink the night away...But I don't think that is going to happen :/ So then I thought maybe Oahu ? , but that isn't as intriguing ...Oh well I guess I will have to settle for a beach BBQ...yay lol.. Ne who I thought I would do a dream wish list :] hahaha hopefully my Joel will take a gander hehe :]





Oh how beautiful this Urban Decay Palate is :] It is limited edition so I worry about its availability :/ But this is a dream list right ? LOL :]


I really would love to try these bad boys out. But where would I wear them living on a island ?...And I dont want to die. But I never have owned a "grown up" pair of pumps, and I kinda really want these to be my first :D





Omg this camera is so sexy LOL , I recently used my friend Ash's SLR Nikon Camera and although it takes alot more skill to use the to just "Point and Shoot" I am in love. The pictures are so fuggin' beautiful ! And I love that I dont have to sit and edit for HOURS >_<

This is the Bobbi Brown Concealer and Foundation pallate...PLEASE ? lol omg its $250 but it would be oh so perfect for when I do makeup on clients. I dont have anything like this in my kit...oh birthday fairy lol



oh, I love you rings. So much...I think I want these rings so bad for obvious bad reasons...lol It would totally sum up my obsession with Twilight...and Im pretty sure I would wear them every friggin' day... LOL Im Just saying! Click HERE for the website :] I pretty much love almost everything they make lol so funky fresh :]


But what I really want is a Flower Tattoo on my arm...Ah but im so scared about jobs dis-liking my inkwork...I already have a sort of hard time with the one small tattoo...Oh ponder I am thinking a Poppy Flower because It is the California state flower which is where I was born and raised ! and I like this one because it has 4 bloomed flowers to represent my mother , brothers [2] and sister :] my family branch of flowers LOL what do you THINK!?!

Well thats all I can think of right now hahahahaha :] Thanks for reading !!!!

Simple Red Lips : Gabriella's Way

Hola friends ! So I made an easy red lips tutorial quite a while ago but since it was in a higher quality video format it took freaking forever to upload it to YouTube. I finally buckled down yesterday and uploaded it ! Im second thinking about this better quality stuff !! Let me know what you guys think! Is it worth the HOURS it takes to upload or were my other videos okay ??



Now I leave you with this picture... Its an old one maybe like a year-ish old...Should I grow my hair back long ? It seems my hair just keeps getting shorter and shorter and oh how I long for long hair hahah!! ~_~ Tell me your honest opinion !!!



Hugs !!

Gabriella

Throwdowns like The Throwdowns

So this last weekend I was given the opportunity to work backstage with this AMAZING band named The Throwdowns !! <--- Click their name to check out their band website! You will not regret it PROMISE :] I met the band a few months ago at a Barnes and Noble CD signing !! It pretty much started from there :] So Friday they opened up for Sammy Hagar !!! This was my first time doing makeup for a rock performance. I was a little nervous because i know they sweat alot :/ but it was a learning experience lol !! Here are some shots :] And Tara my friend and also fellow apprentice at Soleil Luna did the hair :]


Tara and I Watching The Throwdowns Soundcheck ...it was pretty amazing haha :D






Ended the first night with an awesome group shot ! Love these guys ! So much fun to be around ! The next night they were opening with the band Iration for 311 !!! Funny enough I was more excited to see The Throwdowns perform again and Iration then311 :] haha but 311 was pretty good too :] Here are some shots from that AMAZING night :]

I really liked this makeup look better , I think by the second show around I had a better understanding at what works and what doesnt :] LOL And I love an exaggerated eye look with a simple pinky nude lip !! So Smokin' LOLz

So much fun , she looked so beautiful ! I felt so proud lol ! And her hair was totally amazing too props to Tara <3 style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAp995K70EsJfRSQRxOz6S0gFRT-_2yKZV_wffxzVcTQXIZJrXBeT6mDbHIF8tc8TdVt5bMZbO0YWGUzMIacVbySppwcloVKwSEuliG0SDKAkF256G669lz3TY4ZBFITpqCblOc-s3g2A/s320/P4100818.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460114060979040706" border="0">
hahaha I didnt want to deal with the crowds so i just hung out right in front of them...let me tell you great view but damn my ears were ringing till the next day lol but totally worth it :]

So here is one of my outfit of the days :



hahah again sorry for the lame-o pose hahahahahaha as you may have noticed [or not] this is my favorite slouchy cardi from BP , shirt dress - f21 tanks BP , leggings from jeans warehouse , boots from a store that i cannot recall :/ but they are cute LOL

So I have a few videos im attempting to upload to YouTube but since they are better quality [ supposedly ] it takes freaking forever and who has 8 hours of their day to sit around and make sure the laptop doesn't go to sleep ?! i dont LOL But i also bought some new products so stay tuned for that !!
