Hey dudes sooooo we have a new site! --> aicocomakeup.blogspot.com
We wanted a joint blogsite in addition to Nicole's personal one, and if you noticed, on this one the link to it and the title don't match up. It's a weird story as to why that is, but Nicole and I are going to be posting from the new site from now on. We wil definitely update it more, unlike this one! So follow us on that one and, of course, subscribe to our youtube channel :)Thanks guys!!

8 Things Tag
Hey guys. So while Nicole and I try to figure out this whole camera situation, I have decided to fill this entry with useless prose!
In other words, a tag.
I was just browsing around and kept seeing this tag, so I thought it would be fun to do. And hey, it's still something to read, right?!

5. I eat at Chili's a lot with my friends...ahah not one of my favorite joints, but I end up eating there a lot

7. Went to Costco
8. Bugged my brother
8 Things I like about Winter:
1. It's cold
2. It rains
3. I don't need to worry about sweating whenever I walk around
4. It's windy
5. I don't need to worry about straightening my hair because the wind's just going to mess it up anyway, so why bother?
6. Getting to wear cute coats
7. The richness and warmth that comes with winter makeup, juxtaposed with the coolness typically associated with the season. Deep, I know.
8. Hot cocoa
8 Things on my Wish List:
1. A NEW CAMERA
2. Kate Nash's new album that comes out April 20th
3. New denim shorts
4. A dinosaur costume..what can I say, I've always wanted one
5. Benefit My Treat lipstick
6. Shoes!! Especially sandals and such for spring and summer
7. A bunch of Nubar polishes. They look so pretty!
8. Chuck Palahniuk's new book, Tell All. It doesn't come out until May, though
8 Things I'm Passionate About:
1. Writing. I am completely fascinated by the process of how one can create a story by combining pieces of one's imagination, life experiences, and research.
2. My family and friends
3. Reading.
4. Getting an education
5. FEMINISM
6. Makeup. Duh
7. Making your passion your career. Sounds cliche, but I really do think it's important for one to work in an area they love. Working to make a ton of money is great, but is taxing on the soul.
8. Eating.

1. Facebook is not the best way to ask for a prom date
2. In terms of makeup, less is more
3. You're better off taking risks, even if people think you're stupid or don't approve. You don't want to look back on that moment and wish you had listened to yourself instead.
4. Keep a diary or journal
5. Appreciate the people around you
6. Don't be assholes to waiters
7. Beauty is subjective
8. When having a cotillion, you may want to buy a couple of spare dresses for the girls on your court. You know, in case one of them is dumb enough to lose theirs. Just sayin'.

Let's rewind...
Ok guys so...unfortunately, we've lost a member of our makeupbyMAN team, but FEAR NOT! Nicole and I are still on board with doing tutorials and hauls and the like for this blog and our youtube channel. Except we've changed our channel to AicocoMakeup instead of makeupbyMAN. Just because makeupbyAN doesn't really have the same ring to it ;)
We're still doing the Sailor Moon series, so be on the lookout for new videos as well as redos on Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury since the quality on those are absolute shit.
Also, I have a haul I'm planning to film soon, and some looks inspired by my cousin's Barbie dolls. Yay for slutty-looking makeup!
Thanks for bearing with us guys!

I made my first purchase from them a couple weeks ago and finally did some swatches, very impressed! The samples came in nice labeled sample jars as well and they gave a generous amount imo. They threw in a free sample too!
Marshmallow Puffs silky white color. (great to use as a highlight!)
Selkie Skin shimmery taupe color w/ subtle blue and green shimmers.
Aztec Gold gorgeous gold color w/ dimension. green toned golden base with gorgeous gold shimmers.
Princess of Darkness matte cranberry/burgundy color. (great for a vampy smoky eye!)
New Moon's Light matte indigo color w/ fine silver glitter. (the glitter doesn't really show up when applied)
Parental Advisory (my favorite!) silky blue-toned purple color. reminds me of a satin version of mufe #92.
Sennyo somewhat of a magenta color w/ more blue in it. has small silver shimmer in it.
Kamikaze orange/red with small silver shimmer.
Shinigami (got this sample for free w/ purchase) dark plum with fine rose gold and blue glitter.
1.22 Gigawatts silky bright true blue with subtle light gold glitter. (the glitter doesn't show up very well)
