::Song of the Day - [Whip It - Nicki Minaj]::

Ahhh!! My apologies for not blogging! Life got a hold of me and it brought me through all sorts of mazes!
I don't even know where to start!! If I'm not blogging, please follow me on Twitter or Instagram ---> @thebeautybandit
There's almost always something on either one of those. I'm currently hooked on Instagram so I'm constantly doing something so I can post it ;)

NAILED BY BANDIT

Thanks to my lovely classmates; I have hands to practice my acrylics on and better my skill. Though, I don't think I would be working with acrylics in the future, but who knows?

• Top left corner: The beautiful Elba's hands; she has an acrylic set on already so I just did a manicure for her and polished. We did a black background on all fingers except the ring fingers. On the ring fingers for design we applied a pink polish background with black marble design with added silver for some sparkle!
• Bottom left corner: We have the beautiful Krissy's hands. I did a full set on her, she wanted the now trending pointy nails and that's exactly what she got. Didn't do so bad for the first time, eh? We polished all the nails with white polish and designed the ring fingers with a simple purple flower <3
• To the right, to the right: simple polish change, all fingers gray and ring fingers pink with purple and blue lines design.

 LASHED OUT!

AH! Don't you just love these lashes?!?! I had too much time on my hands on Sunday, so I took my time to apply my mascara and look how stunning they look! I was so in love with my lashes that day! haha. Can you guess what mascara I used?! 

DRUMROLL PLEASE...........

MALLY'S VOLUMINOUS MASCARA!

When I first used Mally's mascara, I wasn't impressed and it did not live up to the hype (in my opinion). But after months of trying out other brands, I decided to use it again. And one thing for sure, it is now one of my favorite mascaras. 

FURTHER UPDATES!

(Since I haven't blogged in so long, there are A LOT of updates but there are just too many to post so I'll break it down or it will be in the next blog)

• HAUTELOOK CRAVE: I have ordered quite a few things from Hautelook because they've been having amazing sales. So far, I have ordered stuff from NYX, YBF, && URBAN DECAY. I will post pictures and details of what I have purchased later on, so keep checking ;)
• LACQUER LOUNGE LAUNCH: Isa and I are having a great time building up her salon. It's still in progress and I am here for her the whole way. I've recently went to check on the salon and the construction is going great. We are due to open hopefully before Mother's Day. I AM SUPER PSYCHED! 
• BLUE CRAZE VS. JET BLACK: This blue in my hair is no longer blue; it has turned into the rainbow, I'm considering to just color it back to black! But... I will keep trying and hopefully achieve the blue I yearn for. 
• I have used A LOT of products these past few weeks and can't wait to review them for you guys =)

LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST:::

 

I'M GOING TO NEW YORK CITY!!!! Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to the IMATS in New York this year due to school. But, thank goodness we're taking a class trip to the IBS BEAUTY SHOW this Sunday. I can not wait! So many products, vendors, and demos, I am truly overwhelmed! 

I always love to close with an inspiring quote and here it is (it was posted on Instagram earlier, so here it is again hehe.)
