I confess. I’ve been extremely uninspired to update. I was speaking to someone today who was asking why I hadn’t blog as much.

“Well I twitter and facebook daily, blogging just takes so much out of you”.

“Blogging is your origin, you came from the world of  blogging. Don’t forget your roots Michelle”.

So inspired to blog yet again, here I am. I must admit, twitter really does spoil the fun out of blogging because it’s so instant, but blogging is so intimate and I am not limited by a few hundred characters.

My adventures has taken me to new heights. If you did not read, I am the new spokesperson and video makeup artist for Lancome. Not only is this exciting, but extremely ironic because I interviewed to work at a Lancome Counter 3 years ago. I remember that day as if it was yesterday. I’ll write that up another day.

Here is my first video with Lancome. I love the fact that they let me do whatever I want, no restrictions, all artistic freedom is pretty sweeeeeet.

BTW, if you’re diggin the makeup I’m wearing, you can win it all here. Just leave a comment as stated and a random winner will be selected.

I have to get ready to do a show, makeup for the Chris Benz show. I’m super excited because we’re doing a goth look on the models. I’m gonna insert some fangs on them too and turn them into sexy vampires!

I know. Where have I been? It seems like I’ve given up on blogging (and I swear I almost did), but something made me come back. I’ve promised many times to blog more on a daily basis, but let’s face it, unless blogging is your full time job, it’s HARD WORK!

I compared blogging to being in a relationship. Most relationships require attention and  commitment. You can have the greatest love in your life, but let’s face it… it can wear you down and next thing you know you are on a break. Depending on how long the breaks are, maybe you need time to think, recollect your thoughts, or just need a breath of fresh air.

I’ll tell you this, I didn’t need any of those. In fact, I’ve been DYING to blog. What is my excuse?

No Time.

Hahaha, oh no, I pulled the time card out. Not again. But seriously, if you followed me on twitter and facebook, you would know I’ve been on an airplane to a different country or state every week. November and December sucked the life out of me. Even on YouTube, I did not post up a new video, and that’s a big deal considering that I usually upload a new video twice a week, if not, at least once!

I really apologize, and I’ll try my best not to do that again. Traveling is no fun for me, honestly.

As much as I love to see new places, the process of getting there is what I loath the most. I’m scared to fly (surprisingly) , if only Star Trek can come up with the teleportation sooner, I would be a happy camper.

Luckily, most have my flights have been enjoyable. I’ve been overseas, New York back and forth for 2 months. Seems like every week I was on a plane to go to work.

I got to watch my favorite movie while enjoying yummy snacks.

I LOVED the dinnerware. WOW.

16 hours flight, oh yeah You will NEED skin care.

My essentials.

And of course, a hydrating mask. I’m using my own IQQU hydrating mask.

Some of my makeup I carry on board. You gotta look purdy!

There is nothing better than landing safely, heading to your hotel

and enjoying your room.

I need a bathroom with good lighting. It’s essential for makeup.

I love hotels, but nothing is better than home right?

My New Years resolution? Blog more. Let’s see how long this will last haha. Hopefully better than my diet and exercise.

See ya on the next update. I’m so inspired to blog more. Let’s hope I don’t go on a break, I need to give my blog relationship more time and love =)

So what are you New Years resolution? Anyone going to blog more?

Kindly,

Michelle

Happy Turkey Day Everyone! Eat lots, be thankful and Mr. Bun Bun is going to have a feast too!

Kindly,

Sorry for my lack of videos this month. November has always been a slower month for my creative side. Especially after October with all the crazy makeup, I needed to let my brain breath. December will have more makeup videos.  Get ready for some beautiful holiday looks!

Omg, finally, after 2 in a half weeks I’m finally flying back home. I was in Hong Kong, Miami and NYC. It was all work, so I hardly had time to go out and play. I bought a lot of goodies in Hong Kong and plan on doing a contest give away. Will update soon on that with lots of photos.

IQQU Jasmine Rice Scrub debuts next week.

IQQU Handcrafted brushes will be revealed next month.

IQQU products will be on sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

I was overseas working on the new eyeshadow formula. It’s been taking months and months to perfect it, but it’s almost finished. I’m not a fan of signing up for private labeled makeup, I’d rather create my own custom formula. Private Label cosmetic is when you can take your name and stamp it over makeup formula that is already existing. You would be surprised to know how many of the popular brands are all sharing the same private label.

Okay, I’m getting ready to leave to the airport. I’ll be home in a jiffy.

Hugs & Kisses
