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 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. 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.

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!

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.

I spy...
A SWOLLEN EYE. It sucks being blind in one eye and looking like a freak. An insect-like bastard tried to give my eyelid a hickey, I suppose, and now it's all swollen and ugly. I can't even cover it up with makeup. Nope, all the mascara and Urban Decay Sin Primer Potion and various face illuminators can distract from the huge whatever-that-is that's screwing up what little crease I have :(
So in my vanity, I have decided not to attend school today and waste my time being productive. Yeah. So anyway.
We'll have our channel up and running soon. I hope. If we manage to get together for like three seconds out of our oh-so-busy nap-filled schedules to film. Kay. Byeeeeee.
Hoping your left eye looks better than mine right now,
Ailyn

Hola. This is....makeupbyMAN. MAN, meaning, Meghan, Ailyn, Nicole. We're super-awesomely excited to be doing our first blog together...and hopefully once we get off our lazy asses on the couch watching That 70's Show, we'll be updating more often.
Uhm...so...I don't really know how to start this...well you guys don't really know us, so I guess it's time for 10 Random Facts About Ailyn!! Because...this is Ailyn writing. In case ya didn't know. Ok. Let's get started. YES.
