FOTD: Out and About on a Sunday Morning

Hello loves!

I just wanted to make a quick FOTD (Face of the Day) blog post before I head on out.
I think I've gotten addicted to blogging again... or at least reading blogs and stuff. :)

Anyways, here are some pics of my face today. That sounds kind of funny for some reason!
It makes me happy that most of my acne has cleared, but my skin looks really clean thanks to my camera's beauty mode function.  I still have a few blemishes here and there.

Makeup on my face:

Foundation: Revlon Photoready Makeup in 003 Shell

Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer

MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW20

MAC Pressed Blot Powder in Medium

E.L.F. Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder

Having monolid (single eyelid) eyes, I feel like I have a lot lid space (which I am actually happy about).  As you can see from my pictures, I have so much room from my eyes to my eyebrows.  I find this feature about myself actually fun because I have lots of space to play around with eyeshadow and different looks.  When I want to be dramatic, I can put a dark eyeshadow a little higher than usual and blend it out.  For a more natural look, I try not to pull the color too high, but high enough so that it can make my eyes appear larger.

If you have monolid eyes, be proud of them! LOL.  For a long time, I didn't know how to work with monolid eyes and I struggled with figuring out the best looks.  For a monolid girl, I have fairly large eyes, but I still struggle with the "small eyes" feature and sometimes it's hard for me to replicate a certain look.  Just remember that practice makes perfect and it's all about trial and error.

Eye makeup today:

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Urban Decay Naked Palette - Darkhorse, Half Baked, Smog, and Creep

Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Whiskey

MAC Eyeshadow in Blanc Type (for highlight)

Stila Smudge Pot in Black to line my eyes

Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes in 0L to line my bottom lashline

Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous Mascara in Very Black

I think I'm going through an Urban Decay obsession at the moment!!!

I'm hoping to make more tutorials (video and pic-tuts) in a couple weeks after finals and stuff. I can't wait to go on break and visit my family and see some snow!  My younger sister texted me a picture of the first snow they had a few days ago.  She knows how much I love snow... 

I may or may not blog later today! We'll see what happens. ♥

Love,

Mindy

Hello again!!

Hello again! It's been a while! A really long while!
How have you all been? I missed you!

I know I've been away from my blog and channel for a long time, but I definitely have not forgotten about them.
I actually have been balancing work and school. I recently got a job and it's definitely been taking up a lot of my time. Even if I've been super busy and will get busier, I do plan on reviving my blog and channel. :)
Please be patient!

I'll start with a giveaway first so keep looking forward to that!

Oh and I plan on getting a new HD camera sometime. I recently got a HD webcam, but I think it washes me out a lot. It makes me look too pale. LOL. I'll post some pics of how the camera makes me look.

I would make this a FOTD, but I wish it wouldn't wash me out like that. :/

Well, I'll describe what's on my face anyways:

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Makeup in Classic Ivory 10

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder in Light

Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown

MAC Eyeshadow in Naked Lunch

MAC Eyeshadow in Woodwinked

MAC Blacktrack Fluidline

Covergirl Lashblast

See you all again, really soon!

Love,
Mindy

I really feel like the Lioele BB cream gives a flawless finish. I wore it out today and my friends mentioned that my skin looked so nice today. Another person told me that my skin looked like baby's skin, in Korean...well in Korean it sounds a little better. haha.
