District 12 is the coal mining district, therefore they were with coal. That's dead obvious. Hence, the make is up is heavily focused on the black eye shadow. As you move up the eye, the more the "fire" burns, hence gray gives it the ashy look while the blue and copper color gives the effect of burning fire. Everything in the Capitol is dramatic and overdone, so this look works perfectly. Especially with the hair! Ended up working out in my favor. (Ha, movie reference)

This is a cool website. http://capitolcouture.pn/
Also was inspired by this for the look.

This look is good for Halloween or dress up! Enjoy.

Lifeproof iPhone Case Review

I literally love this product. Like I didn't think I'd buy into it but I DID. It's the perfect phone case for trips. LITERALLY. Because it's resistant to water and it's pretty much prepared for all whether conditions. I recently took it to Florida/Bahamas where the whether is much wetter/muggier than California. So having this phone case really protected it from the moisture in the air. ALSO, it rains a lot! So I was able to vlog in the rain! It was so awesome! I loved it. I was also able to take it to the beach so I could take photos and footages. It's not too heavy or bulky either like the OtterBox and it claims it protects your phone from 6.5 foot falls. I haven't tried that and don't plan to, but I guess that's assuring. The only downside is that it blocks the where you talk to it's really muffled over the phone and the best way to have a conversation is via speaker phone or FaceTime. This also effects filming sometimes because it sounds muffled and hard to hear but I think it's a great product otherwise!

Check out my vacation vlogs to see some of the footage filmed with the LifeProof Case on!

RiRi Hearts MAC Fall Collection

Holy crap man. This collection sold out so fast. I thought it was weird how they repackaged RiRi Woo and resold it for $16.50! Yeah I know it's only a $1.50 more than what I bought it for but hey! Every cent counts! Glad I got it for $15. AND it's sold out under the new packaging and pretty much all the products are sold out in terms of the lipsticks and the eye shadow palettes. I don't know why I'm always the last to know. Sad face. ANYWAY! I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Nude by RiRi Hearts MAC so I'm super stoked about that! Stay tuned for a make-up look featuring this lipstick.

Hope your weekend is going well.

Chambray Fit and Flare Dress Review

Absolutely love this dress! It's so versatile! Literally you can wear it with anything.
I'm 5' 3" and I wear a size small. It is short so I'd advise wear shorts or briefs underneath. The best part about this dress is that it doesn't show cleavage but super feminine.

MERMAID HAIR

This is how I created my mermaid hair! Gaga's video was such an inspiration and it's so easy! If you want to go bigger, curl more pieces, add extensions, wear a wig, do what you have to do!
