I'm the Mama of my FIRST REBEL! + Makeup Pile?

Hellloooo pretty ladies! I've got uberly exciting news to share! I've been saving up for a while, cause I just couldn't justify buying a lot of makeup while I planned on splurging on this "product" I'm going to show you later in the post! When I initially began writing this blog about a year ago, I was using my old point and shoot camera which was the Sony Cybershot DSC-W30, and it was from 2006. It was 6.1 megapixels, and I pretty much hated the quality for the whole time I used it for the blog. The photos were blurry, noisey, and just... ugh. Very 2006.

So I decided to buy a new camera for the blog, AND youtube, so I decided on the Nikon L110 in April 2010. That one had 12.3 megapixels, HD video, and 15x zoom. But that one... I liked the quality of the videos, but DAMN! It recorded in .mov! Annoying as heck to edit, and took ages to convert the file formats! It didnt work with anything! It recorded in a nice 720p HD, but how is that gonna be useful if I can't convert the file? As for the photos... they were alright, but very noisey and weren't too much better than the P&S's from today. The good thing about that one was that it zoomed like mad, and took nice landscapes. But... my main purpose for a camera is the BLOG! It made my product photos grainy when flash isn't used. It just wasn't good enough... :(

So today... I'm proud to announce you with the newest member of the family! It's my new baby! Just kidding, it's a Canon Rebel XS DSLR. I've been debating on whether to get this or the Nikon D3000, but this one felt better in my hands and did everything I wanted. I'm by no means a pro, and in fact, I'm actually SO NOOB. The Xs is just a very basic entry-level DSLR, and perfect for me since I'm noob. I know Sam has a Canon Rebel Xsi, and I've honestly been in love with the quality of her photos for the longest time! I've read that the Xs is the baby brother of the Xsi, and I honestly didn't want to spend the extra 200$, so I settled for this one :) I already love it with all my heart and it's like my baby! This is the most I've EVER spent on a camera.. so wish me luck! I'm figuring out all the buttons and stuffies, so if the photos are blurry, I apologize!


MAKEUP PILE?!
SO... I remember not too long ago, Nat did a post regarding a makeup pile. Basically, it's almost like a method of making yourself face the reality that you have too much makeup! You know, when it's all nicely put together in you vanity, it surely doesn't look like a rediculous amount, but when you look at it all layed it, it's gigantic!


Mascaras


Mascaras + Eye Liners


Mascaras + Eye Liners + Primers + Cream Shadows


Mascaras + Eye Liners + Primers + Cream Shadows + Concealers


Mascaras + Eye Liners + Primers + Cream Shadows + Concealers + Pigments


Mascaras + Eye Liners + Primers + Cream Shadows + Concealers + Pigments + Foundations + Powder

Mascaras + Eye Liners + Primers + Cream Shadows + Concealers + Pigments + Foundations + Powder + Blush + Bronzers


Mascaras + Eye Liners + Primers + Cream Shadows + Concealers + Pigments + Foundations + Powder + Blush + Bronzers + Eyeshadows


Mascaras + Eye Liners + Primers + Cream Shadows + Concealers + Pigments + Foundations + Powder + Blush + Bronzers + Eyeshadows + Lippies

Okay so... the method worked. I actually believe that I'm beyond obsessed, and this obsession is costing a fortune! No more makeup for me! ... Lets Hope. I shouldn't buy so much especially since I just bought a camera!

PS. Do any of you guys use DSLRs? If so, please let me know any tips you've got!

  14. Wow, firstly love the DSLR, I've been wanting to save up to buy one for a while, just recently upgraded to a Kodak Z950, which is pretty much the step before DSLR, but it still records in HD< which I thought was pretty cool.

    And to that make up pile, well I am jealous, lol.

    Maybe I will have a go at doing this - if you don't mind of course! My partner always says I have too much make up :) xx
