How Rita Hayworth would have done her hair today!


Here is a look that I created using my clipless curling iron. If you want to create it too, see my video, below, on how to!

Do you like it when....

I do "How I did my make up for a video" videos because, sometimes I get requests from viewers to show how I did it. I really never wanted to show how I do my make up because I don't think I am a make up guru :D I just like to do my make up once in a while. Actually, if I could get away with wearing no make up, I would rather that! :D

I know how important it is that I have a pleasing presence in my hair tutorial videos, so I make an effort to wear more make up than I would normally.

When I see those requests for make up tutorials, I am always surprised. But I aim to record how I did my make up, rather than to call it a make up tutorial. Do you see the difference?  :D :)

Anyway, here is a video on how I did my make up for a video. If you like these, let me know and I will continue to film them as I get ready to film a hair tutorial.

I made a video for Pantene!

I was so excited to be contacted by a Pantene rep to create a video for their Silky Moisture Whip Moisturizer + Styler!

I've always wanted to just be in a Pantene ad LOL :D Now, I sort of am :D

So, if you haven't seen it, here is the video I made for Pantene. What a dream come true for me.



I put a lot of time and effort into this video. I even had my husband fix one of my broken soft box lights. The next day, our son broke it in front of our face as we were watching him :(

I ended up going to bed at 3 am, after filming this several times before I felt it was PERFECT. Even still, I look at it and continue to find a million things wrong with it. I was so tired. I couldn't put more effort into it anymore, so I went to bed.

The next day, I had to edit it in order to have it up by the deadline. But, I woke up with ithcy watery eyes and a stuffy nose; what luck! :( Still, I soldiered on and ended up getting it on YouTube on time for you all to see it. I hope that you will have time to watch it. It really has been a fun project for me to work on because I feel that anyone can get their hands on this product.

Anyway, thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to check on what I have to say.

Take care!

Love, 
Iris

Amazingly Intricate Eye Makeup

Today I found some fantastic and creative makeup by a German lady named Svenja Schmitt. She goes by PixieCold so stop by her gallery and tell her ILoveGerardo sent you if you have a deviantART account!  I hope you find it inspiring!

This one is a fantastic Little Mermaid inspired design that I found bold and pardon the pun, eye catching.
You MUST zoom into this one Hunger Games fans!
Its called "District 4"
"Death by Candy"
This one is like something from Cirque du Soleil
It is a tribute to Avatar: The Last Airbender
"Mockingjay"

What I do

I make hair tutorials on YouTube. But I created this blog to connect with my fellow writers/bloggers. I've also created a myspace account, but I don't like the format for blogging. I'd rather blog here. As far as something to note about me: I rarely have will power when it comes to dieting. I'd rather eat what I want, but in moderation. I like girly stuff, but I don't like doing my own hair. I rarely do my own hair, so if you saw me in the street, you'd probably not recognize me. But if you ever saw me, I would love it if you came to say hi. Thanks for reading my blogs.
