Yesterday was the longest day of my life..Today I felt what it's like to be sleep-deprived.

I'm pretty sure if someone held a contest for the busiest person in the world yesterday, I would have won 1st place.. 

For the past month or so, I've been working on a makeup portfolio so I can try to get a job as a freelance makeup artist for MAC. So far i've been doing a pretty good job, but I really wanted to amp it up a bit and start doing high fashion/couture makeup for like runways and photoshoots.

My good friend Alison volunteered to be my model for the Forest Fairy look I was trying to achieve (originally done by the great Michelle Phan<3) and this was the result:

I woke up dirt early to do this and let me tell you.... it was not very easy to stick all those gold flecks on her face. I had to get creative and spray paint a white piece of paper lace gold because they didnt sell gold ones anywhere :(

..Let's just say I used a crapload of lash glue and eyeshadow primer to make this work. ugh.

Getting it off was hilarious. I wish i videotaped it.

SOOO, since I havent seen Alison for a while, we decided to go to the mall and basically spend the day together.. it eventually turned from a nice day out to a hardcore manhunt to find a specific pair of nude color wedges. 

>>Unfortunately, we were in the biggest mall in the universe and it basically took us a good 4 hours to find a decent pair of shoes. BUT, we found them, i bought them, and theyre gorgeous :) totally worth it.

At this point, I was already pretty exhausted, but Alison wanted me to color her hair from black to turquoise and I couldnt say no. Color is my specialty :)

After a quick run to Sally's beauty supply, I got to work Color Stripping and bleaching her hair (basically, a color corrective service). SIGH...Getting black out of hair is like pulling teeth.

It's TORTURE.

We started at 8:30pm and finished at 1:00am. It came out beautiful, and I was proud of the work I did, but my back was about to snap in half from all the crap I did that day @_@

So.... after cleaning up the HUGE mess in my room and bathroom...and kitchen..I finally got to bed at 3:30am. 

3:30 AM!!!!!

Never again...
