before & after

Like I've been telling you guys, I love working with photography/photoshop! These are some of my works! I've been learning how to replace the backgroud (sky), so that's pretty much the main focus of these photos. I'm still in the process of learning, so it might not be the best yet but just hang in there with me :) Most of these pictures were not taken by me, I just photoshop em'! But forsure, I'll take some this weekend. Hopefully the weather will be nice.  ^_^

From here down, I didn't really do much beside changing the colors tone and contrast.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? [ey, not bad for a starter right? lol]

I'm going back home to Sheboygan this weekend, so will taking more pictures with my Canon DSL camera! be sure to check back :)

ONE OF MINE ADDICTION

I have a thing for dresses. I can never have enough. The more dresses, the more I'm happy. lol. Was shopping online and saw this cute purple dress at Forever 21! I want it! Might hit Mayfair Mall this Friday (pay day) and go see if it's in store yet.hahaa. I think it's perfect for all kinds of occasion.

I'm not in love with this one...but i just really like the colors together.

These are from Chaotte Russe! Aren't they cute?

These are from amiclubwear.com

I might just have to go on a dress shopping [forsure] this friday. :)

WHICH ONE IS YOUR FAVORITE ONE?

Daily makeups

I've decided to do a blog on "my daily bases makeups".  Of course I do have my lazy days, where all I'll put on my face, is a little eye shadow and mascara. && sometimes, NADA (nothing) :) These are by far, some of my favorite products.

Cover Girls "lash blast" mascara waterproof! I love it how it really help made my lashes bigger and bolder. "Get a blast of lush, volumized lashes!!! " I feel so naked without them. lol.

Sephora's eye primer! I know a lot of people uses the other one (in the purple bottle) but I just love this one. It's easy to use and it comes out really good. All it takes, is a little twist. Not only that but the price is totally affordable, only $12 :)

Flirt's PEEK-A-BLUSH! A sheer powder blush that applies evenly with blendable color in a variety of finishes. It goes with all kind of looks! I have the "Heartthrob" and "Bronze Goddess"

Dream Mousse Concealer conceals with an amazing air-soft feel. The texture feels lightweight on my skin and covers any dark circle really good.

hmmm...what can i say about this product! It's just perfect! I can tell you that I used it almost everyday! The colors are perfect for a natural daily look.

What I used for my skin? American Beauty's liquid foundation from Kohls! It even out my skin color really good. Once you apply it on ur face, it's so light and that's what I love about it! I hate foundation that makes my face feel super heavy.

Urbandecay "Deluxe Shadow Box". The pigment is good! It will last all day/night. This shadow box is $36 which is a little pricey but I can promise you that, it'll be worth it. :) I used the lighter colors during daytime, and the darker on my nights out with my girls. My sister-in-law love this shadow's box so much that I gave it to her. Which is fine, b/c I got my mac palette now. :)

hello fall 2010

This past Sunday, May and I decided to have a Fall photoshoot! The pictures turn out great. There's one thing I love so much about Fall---the beautiful colors! It helps bring everything out from a picture! We had an awesome time. Thanks babe, for taking the pictures :)

6 years anniversary

Oct.16th, 2010 was Koua and I six years anniversary. I can't believe it's been 6 years already. I'm so blissful to have someone like him, who care and love me so much. I will have to admit that he does spoil me a lot. ^_^ Of course, we have had our ups and downs but at the end of each day we both knows that we can't live without each other :) I will also have to admit that, my college life living here in Milwaukee wouldn't be this great without Koua. He had supported me so much. My mom and sisters always tell me that I should feel super and extra lucky to have Koua in my life.haaha. Trust me, sometimes I think they even treat Koua better than me.lol. I love him dearly. I do feel lucky!

Koua and I, throughout the years...

always and forever,

Mai Neng loving Koua
