Brazil Series: Haul

SURPRISE! I have one more post up my sleeve for Brazil Series. I forgot I had bought a few cosmetics items on my trip. Below, I got a bronzer, eye shadow and a set of eyeliners. Makeup in Brazil is extremely expensive. And since I was on a budget I stuck with the cheaper stuff. The bronzer was actually a face powder and the lightest in the store, but its pretty dark so I used it as a contour. Pretty decent for $2.50. The set of eyeliners are comparable to Wet and Wild. All of them together cost me $7.00 and that is cheap. They're too rough for the upper lid, so used as the bottom liner and they are peachy. The loose eyeshadow was a but strange. It's similar to mineral makeup but not as fun and a whole lot lighter in weight. I found with 2 primers was the only way it would stay on the entire day.

Brazil Series: Cattleya Labiata

This is my last post of my Brazil Series. Sad face. I guess that means until I get a new camera or a new phone I'll be MIA. Which totally sucks! Moving on...the flower of Brazil is called Cattleya Labiata, which translated means Corsage Orchid. I prefer it not translated. Sounds prettier! She is a very gorgeous purple flower and we know how I love purple!

Sex and the City 2 Inspired: Sarah Jessica Parker

Slowly, I'm continuing my Brazil posts. Number one because I'm back in school again and I'm focusing on that. And number 2 cause I'm trying to stretch these out as much as I can without a camera. :( Makes me sad too! While in Brazil, my friend and I went to see Sex and the City 2. I didn't expect much from it, but I enjoyed it! This look is inspired when Carrie goes out to dinner with her ex. Mainly a bronze-y dramatic look with a little bit of a Arabic style to it.

Brazil Series: My Brazil Trip Video

Well I'd say its been established that I love iMovie. And I just HAD to make a movie about my trip. You know...drinking, dancing, sillyness, food and exploring!

Brazil Series: Pride Parade Rainbow Makeup

I'm finally back from Brazil! What an amazing trip!!!! First time out of the country for me and my oh my what a different world. The first weekend I was in Sao Paulo I went to their Gay Pride Parade. Talk about insane...3 million people! I tapped into my eccentric side and pulled out my green wig and matte rainbow makeup. Below is only the video I made from the parade.

The Brazilian Exorcism

This is not makeup related at all. We were chillin' out the other night
and on TV this woman was being exorcised by this church. 
(all in Portuguese of course!) my friend decided to film it. And 
I couldn't help but make a video of it. I LOVE iMOVIE!

On another note, a very sad note...
my camera broke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so upset about it! 
Mostly because I DO NOT have the money to get another one.
UGH! If anyone knows anyone selling a digital camera please 
lemme know. THANKS!

Brazil Series: Brasil um jogo aka Brazil Game 1

I played a little soccer growing up. Mostly because it gave me a chance to kick boys. I never got into watching it professionally. But being in Brazil as they're playing in the World Cup was something I wasn't going to miss. Even if it turned out to be boring. It was anything but. We went to this little hole in the wall where they sell beer and fried food. 90% of the crowd were all friends and spoke LITTLE english. I started getting into the game as this women, who was prolly in her early 50's, started making conversation with me. Me---who speaks no Portuguese was like "uuuuhhhh" This lady spoke a little english and was delighted we were there to watch the game and even more that I was supporting Brazil. After looking at these fans I knew I would never support the opposing team. I mean I didnt have a death wish after all! It was quite an experience watching as the whole city of Sao Paulo was closing to watch this game. Businesses and schools were closing as everyone gathered in the streets to party. Everyone at this little hole in the wall were friendly like I haven't seen back home. Dancing, cheering and talking with us the whole game. People in this country may be poor, but they really do know how to enjoy life. CHEERS TO THEM!

BRAZIL!!!!!!!!!!!

hey everyone! I made it to Sao Paulo, Brazil in one piece yesterday. 4 hour delay from Miami on thursday night was aggravating. The flight turned into a red eye flight. It's all A-OK cause I'm spending time with one of my favorite people here! Shout out to you, K. Today is day two of my 3 week adventure. I spent mostly yesterday sleeping and dealing with jet lag. Let me tell you, its a bitch. First time international traveler here, in case you didn't know. This morning I was having a cigarette and looked out at the view of other buildings, and decided that would be my first inspired look from here.
