var sc_project=7101960; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_security="68e0211c"; This is a public blog about art, photography, music, fashion, nightlife & events that take place in Las Vegas and other fabulous cities worth talking about. I’m an enthusiast of all the arts of the world. I’m a freelance digital artist and designer. I’m not looking to be famous or anything, I just want to be known for something.

I finally decided to get mine this year, I bought some other things for myself in the process. For this month, the birthday gifts were a couple of Fresh Sugar moisturizing lip treatment sticks. They both have an SPF of 15 and are scented like fresh lemonade. The chapstick in the pink container named Rosé has a bright red tint to it. A little bit of it does go a long way; they condition your lips and do last.</p> <p>I also bought Sephora’s brush cleansing wipes, they’re about $3 for 20 sheets. It’s just to test it out since I need some sort of solution to clean my brushes other than soap that dries things.</p> <p>I also finally got Urban Decay’s original eyeshadow primer to test out! I’ll post a bit more about it later to show the results.</p> <p>And lastly, I bought Sephora’s Moonshadow Baked In the Dark eyeshadow pallet. The colours are beautiful! They’re shimmery and dark, each with a slight metallic tint. They have a nude pallet with more earthy tones, which are the colours I usually wear. I wanted something different.</p> <p>Anyway, I’ll test these out and update later!</p>http://luxurias.net/post/17758480877http://luxurias.net/post/17758480877Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:26:51 -0800make-upbeautyblogpersonalbirthdaySephoraFreshSugarUrban DecaymobileNo laptop or computer access, so I haven’t been online much.

The video highlighted the cultural differences between the east and west, and questioned notions of smoking being a mainly adult activity. Adult smokers are the societal norm, so I wanted to isolate the viewer’s focus upon the issue of smoking itself. I felt that children smoking would have a surreal impact upon the viewer and compel them to truly see the acts of smoking rather than making assumptions about the person doing the act.</span><span> ”</span></p> <p>There were no real cigarettes on set.
