Foundation Routine!

Herrrroooo! Here it is! Many of you asked for it, and I am giving it to y'all! :D

I finally had some time to film this after going home from doing some errands and it was still bright out so I figured, why not take off my face makeup and just film since my routine is super quick anyways! 

I like to switch up my foundation a lot. I normally don't use the same foundation unless it's something I am really LOVING at the moment (which at the time, I was obsessed with Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse... best foundation ever for my skintype which is dry to normal!) I also like to switch up my concealers as well. I mean, I have so many, why stick to just one product until it's finished? That's boring! :)

My routine is pretty quick, I don't like to spend too much time on my face because I normally take hours to do my eye make up LOL. It takes me about less than 5 minutes to do my whole face (including brows which isn't shown in the video). I rarely ever powder because I like the dewy finish, and also like I mentioned, I have dry to normal skin so powder usually emphasize any dry spots. Sometimes I will use mineral powder on those lazy days where I don't feel like wearing any liquid make up and I want something super light.

Sometimes I will use a highlight when I'm feeling like it. But I mostly save that for the summer to get that super glowy skin/nights out.

PS. I do apologize for the poor quality of the video. Whenever I film & edit, the quality is fine right up until I upload it on youtube where the quality turns poor and the lighting is darker. I will try to see what I can do to make it better for the next video. I also am using a point & shoot camera as well, nothing HD. I'm trying my best with what I have! So please be patient with me <3

OOTD - Easy Peasy Summer Outfit

Hey guys, here's a easy and quick summer outfit. I love summer dresses because they're just so easy and quick to put together. It's completely effortless yet, looks super good and still pulled together, especially it's a printed or colorful dress!

I decided to keep most of the attention on the dress so accessories was very limited.

DSW SHOES

Dress: Mimi Chica

Back to Reality

Hi! I am back and have a little free time finally to make another update post. I'm going to try my best to either put up a small haul post from my trip if I end up having time. I also have some other posts coming up but you will all have to bare with me as I will be super busy for the next couple of weeks. I have work and others things I need to do so please be patient!

If you haven't seen it yet, here is a video showing a little bit of what I hauled with the lovely and gorgeous RAEVIEW. :)

 

If you are a new follower coming from RAE's channel/video - I would just like to give a big welcome and a super duper THANKS for following and supporting me! I can't wait to start making more videos for you guys. :)

I'm going to try and film a "What's In My Travel Bag" video as a loyal follower, Mavis requested it prior to my trip :)

And yes, I know you all are still wanting and waiting for that hair video but I am still thinking about whether or not I want to do one. Simply because it's really nothing special... you'll probably not gonna learn much and I just don't feel like it. I want to do something that I want to do, yanno what I mean? Even if it's not what everybody wants but when it comes down to it, it's my thing, my channel, my blog, my videos, mine! I hope you guys understand but I am debating about it...

Anyways, other than that, I will leave you with a couple of pictures to creep on :)

xoxo

On Pause!

Watch is from Urban Outfitters

Hope you guys like it and leave me a comment on the video! :)
