New Hair

Today I got a new haircut. You've seen me in this hairstyle before, since I use clip-on bangs occasionally, but it is a little more special to actually have my hair cut like this. All I can say is that I love my new, Vulcan-style haircut. :D

Excuse the terrible picture quality. I snapped this shot with my phone camera when the sun was about to go down so I guess less than perfect quality is not anything unexpected.

Geeky Doodles

Allergies have been plaguing my eyes this past week and trying to put makeup on their swollen, irritated lids are totally out of place. Instead I spent my Saturday and Sunday evenings doing something that I haven't done for at least a couple of years; sketching portraits! 

Although I'm a bit rusty it was fun to take up this hobby again, and I guess some geeky sketching is just the perfect way to channel the love you can feel for characters from something that you are completely hooked on. :) 

And since people always ask this when I post art:

What materials did you use? Regular paper and pencils (HB, 4H, 6B and 8B), and cotton buds for shading. 

How long does it take you to do a portrait? Between 1 - 2.5 hours. 

Not makeup-related but I figured I'd show them to you anyway. Hope you've had a great weekend! :)

Star Trek Manicure

Today I'm going to see Star  Trek Into Darkness. Iiiiihh!! To celebrate the occasion I made a manicure inspired by the Star Fleet uniforms from the original Star Trek series. Geeky? Hell yeah!

Scotty, Spock, Kirk, McCoy and Uhura. ;)

Hope you enjoyed this post and see you again soon! :)
