Im good feeling like a big idiot. I accidentally gave myself a 3rd degree burn on my abdomen 7 inches of horrid pain. I spent last night in the hospital. Just ouch!!

Oh no! I hope you heal up soon Sassy! :hug:

I ended up ordering Taupe Brow Wiz and the Nars Brow Gel. I want something lighter than my Soft Brown Dipbrow, but can always use my Dipbrow to define if needed. We'll see!

I might also grab MAC Omega, which the girl who did my makeup used on my brows for my wedding. You can probably see them the best in this picture: http://sbpc.zenfolio.com/scbloom/e5446870

I didn't know u had the soft brown dipbrow! that's perfect.
I prefer to fill with a pencil (lighter) and define with dipbrow or aquabrow (darker) so I think that should work well : )


omg what a beautiful bride u made!

beautiful!

Yes. It is bad to wish you were sick. Don't do that. I've had to get thru some difficult subjects too while in college but I can tell you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Just hang in there, study and be strong.

thanks! Hopefully I will be done soon.
I'm gonna try to take summer classes too, get this thing done.

I have an itch to buy something new. I feel uninspired with makeup as of late

[IAmakeupaddict]

Thanks, Elegant. It was really great. I broke my diet and ate so much that I think I need to fast for the next two days.

Me, too birthday twin. Me, too. I think I need to detox. It was sooo good though

 

[IAmakeupaddict]

Have you used it to film so far at all?
That's what I was looking for, to see if it worked well for that too

Ooookay.

Just for "science" last night, I played with my camera and filmed myself. FYI, I don't need the 10lbs the camera added. Or the 50 I need to lose. Haha. But that is besides the point.

I found a youtube video on how to enable auto focus in video on the d3200. You have to click into live view, hit the info button, and change the af setting to af-f.

The autofocus worked well, actually. I didn't have a lot of trouble focusing from close product views back to myself, etc (I was using things like pens, the remote to my camera, etc.) One thing I did notice was that you could heard the autofocus on the audio. I have read that to combat this you use an external mic. I didn't have one to test. Thinking back, I probably should have used my 50mm prime with the internal focus - it is quite a bit quieter than my kit lens. I can try that and let you know. You could also do voice over rather than live audio.

Video quality was very good. Focus time seemed good. I did stick the mirror behind the camera so I could make sure I was in frame/in focus. That worked fine. Especially with the auto focus I didn't have any trouble staying in focus and didn't have to look at it much.

I also did the make sure you're in focus and change it to manual so it doesn't try to refocus when you move. This worked fine as long as I didn't get closer or further away from the camera, obv. you would just have to do product close ups separately and splice them in or do overlays or whatever. This however did improve the audio as you don't get the focusing noise.

I think it kind of depends on what you're looking for

What are you eyeing? I'm thinking about the Tartelette palette still.

 

[IAmakeupaddict]

What are you eyeing? I'm thinking about the Tartelette palette still.

I'm eyeing the KVD Monarch Palette. I have been for awhile, but I keep slapping my hand and saying "No" because I do not need any more eyeshadows. I probably already have 3 dupes for every shade in the palette.

I'm into glitter lately and I keep buying Lit Glitters haha. I have 8, and I have 6 more on the way =/ Must be my almost 30 - life crisis.

I never know what to do with glitters. I still barely use my one MAC pressed pigment in Moth, even though I definitely want more.

I tend to put just a little in the center of the lid. Even on matte eyes. Not like overdone glitter but just a touch.

I find it really adds depth to my eyes, because I have slightly hooded, small-ish eyes. I actually wore a neutral brown eye to work yesterday with just a touch of glitter in the center and nobody even commented on the glitter but I got tons of compliments on the look. I was surprised, because I usually just go pretty basic for the office.

Thank you for trying this! It's good to know it auto focuses that's cool! I have definitely heard about most auto focus enabled cameras, that u can hear them. So I guess it's probably not even worth it to do it, unless u have a good external mic, like u mentioned.
If you don't mind trying it with the other lens! I would really appreciate that
It's so hard to decide what to buy I've been trying to make my mind up since black Friday lol!

I can do that

I was thinking, too, for the purpose of filming... for about $100 more, you can upgrade to the d5200 which does have the articulating screen It looks like the 2 lens bundle on Amazon is $569.00. Slightly less for the body only (if you would rather purchase a different lens).

Good luck with school and after your done feels like a big weight has been lifted off your shoulders.

oooh this one looks so much like what I am looking for.
I wanted the Canon 70D, but this is half the price @_@
And I already have a Nikon, so I can use my other lenses with this. (I got a DSLR a long time ago, they didn't have video yet)
@_@

thank you

Good! I'm glad! I'm actually thinking of making an upgrade myself with my tax refund, haha.

I really do like mine, though, and I don't film.. It just looks fancier, haha.
