Soft Neutral Everyday Look (tips on contouring monolid eyes)

Hello everyone!
I am currently on spring break now and up until today, I was busy with work.
I was luckily able to find some time though to film a quick tutorial! :)

Here's the video:


This video features a soft neutral everyday look with tips on contouring monolid eyes.
Contouring is great for adding more depth and dimension to the eyes. It will also help small eyes look bigger and deeper. :) The key to this look is of course to blend away! There should be no harsh lines.
I decided to go for a slightly bold eyeliner look because the shadows are so soft. The rest of the face is also very subtle and the lips are nude color.

I hope this tutorial was helpful!

Hello Spring! Fresh and Simple Look with Spring Colors

This look is so simple and gives you the perfect way to enhance your best features! It's all about the glowy look with pretty spring colors like pinks and purples! :) I hope you enjoy this tutorial! The lighting was kind of bleh but I'm still working on fixing it! Hope you all don't mind.

Oh and of course, this look is great for monolids like me! Anyone can pull this look off!

Oh and I used my Revlon PhotoFinish Foundation today in 003 Shell. I'm actually liking it! It seemed like it would be too dark on my face, but surprisingly, it wasn't! :) It's nice! I've also been trying out Revlon ColorStay and it's really good as well! I'm happy to have found some awesome foundations.

MAC Fix + vs. Sephora Radiance Spray Mist

So I just spontaneously filmed another video today. LOL. I did not expect that I would, but I just kind of decided to at the last minute. Probably because I was bored. Making videos always keeps my mind occupied whenever I'm bored. Plus it was raining so it gave me more reason to make a video. Okay, I'm not making any sense right now, but here's a review video on MAC Fix + and the Sephora Radiance Spray Mist. Also included in this video are tips on how to use them!



Surprisingly, there are many ways that the Fix + can be used.
1) Finishing Spray- Great for setting your makeup after you have applied foundation and all face makeup and powder.
2) Refreshing Spray- Perfect for summer or whenever your face needs that extra refreshing spray.  It's also great for touching up your face throughout the day. Make sure your blot the excess oil on your skin before spraying Fix +.
3) Toner- Great toner! It's awesome to spray on after taking off all your makeup and washing your face.
4) Mixing Medium- Great for applying pigments and eyeshadows when you need that extra dramatic look! Also, it's great for powder liners. Make sure to use a paper towel or tissue so that the brush isn't dripping wet. Also, make sure that when you are using matte eyeshadows, don't use a wet brush in the middle of the shadow. Use the outer edge since the middle could easily crack. We don't want that happening!
5) Hair and Scalp- When your scalp feels dry or your hair needs extra moisture, Fix + can do the job!

Fix + is a magical tool! I absolutely am in love with it.  The Sephora Radiance Mist pretty much does the same job, but it's a lot stickier than the Fix +. It smells really nice as well! I love the smell of the radiance mist. Prices:
MAC Fix + is $18 for 100 ml
Sephora Radiance Spray Mist is $12 for 50 ml

Hope this helped!

Pics of My Failed Tutorial Today

Hello everyone!

So if you follow me on twitter, you may have read already that I tried filming a tutorial today and well.... it was an ultimate failure. Half of the top of my face was cut off and this was when I was working on my eyes. T.T
But here are some pics of my look that I was going for and it's a little tweaked so it's not exactly the tutorial. It's been raining cats and dogs (of course... it HAS to happen when I film). It always seems like it rains on days that I film tutorials and it never ever rains here. LOL.

So it's supposed to be a fresh spring look. ^o^
We'll see how it turns out next time.
Thanks for reading this short entry.

xoxo

Review on Manly 120 Eyeshadow Palette

Here is a review of the Manly 120 Eyeshadow Palette from the eBay seller: Ladies House.



This palette is great in my opinion. The colors are highly pigmented. I would recommend using an eyeshadow base or a cream shadow underneath to help with the staying power since these shadows are very powdery.
Here are some pictures:

Revlon ColorStay Foundation and PhotoReady Foundation

Today I dropped by CVS and saw that they were having a buy-one-get-one-free deal on all Revlon products! I had to buy the Revlon ColorStay foundation and the PhotoReady foundation since the deal was too good to pass! I've seen all the hype about it on youtube and blogs and stuff so I wanted to see what they are really like! It was definitely hard choosing colors since I couldn't test them out, but I opted for the lightest colors and more pinkish tones. I think the PhotoReady may be a little dark on me. We'll see... :) Definitely excited and reviews to come!!
