New Video!

Hey everyone!

As you may notice, I'll always have a post up announcing that I've uploaded a video. Now that I'm trying to upload on here every Tuesday and on YouTube every Wednesday, these upload announcements are not included as my weekly post. I just thought I would let you all know that.

Anyway, I've uploaded a new video on my YouTube!

Check it out!

Current Everyday Makeup

Hi everyone!
This is going to be my current everyday makeup as in what I use, not my makeup routine.
But by the order of the products is the order I put them on. I will upload a current makeup routine on my YouTube channel, just not right now.


A little bit of info on my skin:

• Combo to Dry
• Acne Prone
• Light Medium skin tone 

So here are all the products I use!

First off, concealer for those Panda eyes!

Product: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles

How I use it: Apply under eyes in a triangle shape and blend out with ring finger

Color: Neutralize

Next, CC cream!

Product: Lioele Dollish Cera-V CC

How I use it: Pump onto back of hand and dot all over face and blend outwards.

Color: White but blends to skin tone.

Time for Foundation!

Product: bareMinerals Bareskin Serum Foundation

How I use it: Shake. 3 drops on back of hand and dot all over face. Blend with Real Techniques Expert Face brush and blend outwards. 

Color: Bare Beige

Minimal Eyeshadow!

Product: Urban Decay Naked Basics

How I use it: Use my ring finger to pat and blend all over lids to set foundation and concealer.

Color: W.O.S

Eyebrows!

Product: Skinfood Black Bean Eye Brow Pencil

How I use it: Fill in sparse areas of brows and blend with spoolie end.

Color: #2 Black Grey

Now, Eyeliner to make my eyelids look even!

Product: Kat Von D ink! Liner (Felt tip)

How I use: Line the top lash line and bring line straight outwards.

Color: Trooper (Black)

Can't leave with chapped lips!

 Product: Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar

How I use: Apply to lips.

Color: #4 Juicy Cherry

Finally set the makeup!

Product: The Body Shop Vitamin E Face Mist

How I use: Follow the directions and spray all over face. Fan face to help dry.

Color: Colorless but has a rose scent.

Those are all the products I'm currently using for my everyday makeup. My skin changes from being Combo to dry in the colder months to being Combo to Oily during the hotter months. Generally products I use stay the same unless I go to a more formal event. The only two things that do change from time to time are my lip products and how I set my makeup. I am going to be posting a new video on my YouTube channel on Thursday so watch out for that!

A Piece of Advice: Choosing Classes in College

Hi everyone!

I'm currently a college student and I've been in college since September 2012. I've been going to the college I'm currently attending since Spring 2013.

At first I was going along with my mom's plan for me to be a nurse but now I'm trying to get into the Diagnostic Ultrasound program at my school.
The program itself is only two years and there are only six prerequisites.
If I had plan accordingly and passed all my classes in one try, I probably would've been graduating in 2017.

But no.... at this rate, I'll probably graduate in 2018.


If you don't want to end up like me and stay in college more than you actually need or plan to then here are some helpful tips I've learned throughout my college years.

• Know what you're going to major in!
• Knowing your major is a serious thing and will determine how long you'll be in school for. Well, that and what you passed in high school. There are people I know who chose a major but then end up switching it to something way different. Right then and there you're wasting both time and money. I mean don't get me wrong, if you choose to switch majors once or even twice is fine, that just means your interests changed. But don't be a person who switches from teaching to healthcare, to business. None of your previous classes will be able to fulfill your prerequisites. Also for some schools, you have to officially declare your major before your third or so year. So, be sure you know what you're majoring in!

• Make sure you go to a counselor!
• This is SO important! I didn't go to one because I thought since I have a friend that did running start, that I would know how to plan out my classes if I have her with me. Counselors can help with class planning and with questions your friends might not know the answer to. If you fail a class, you can go to them for options on how to get through that class so you can reach completing your prerequisites.

• Have your Prerequisites memorized or written down.
• Memorizing or writing down your prerequisites is very helpful especially when your planning or choosing what classes to take. Keep in mind that some classes require you to take a different class before taking that one. Not knowing your prerequisites isn't a good thing because then you'll choose classes by what you want to learn not what you need to learn. For example, my first quarter I chose to take Japanese instead of taking math. Sure I refreshed my limited Japanese but I now have a wasted credit from that class

• Do your research on professors.
• This helps make sure you know how hard or helpful a professor is before you take a class. The site I use is: ratemyprofessor.com. This site lets people rate the professor based on helpfulness, clarity, and easiness. It also shows what the average grade people get in the class. I try to choose the professors with overall rating that are close to 4.0. The only downside (or what can be a downside) is that the results of the professor show reviews from all the classes they teach.

• Be sure the class you want is available during the quarter.
• The worse thing to happen is that when you're registering at the end of the quarter and find out the class you want to take next quarter is only available in the current quarter. Now you have to wait a whole year until you can take that class. What do I mean by this? For example, at my school one of my prerequisites is Physics 100 which is only available during fall quarter.

• Get help right away!
• The most scariest and worst thing to happen to any student is finding out at the end of the quarter that you're either not going to pass the class or that your grade isn't good enough to get into your prerequisite class. Everybody is going to tell you this and now I'm going to tell you this, get help RIGHT AWAY. There was an instant that I didn't look for help until the end of the quarter and I ended up dropping the class which is bad because now I will forever have a W (for withdraw) on my transcript. It's not bad to have W's on your transcript, as long as you don't have too many and if you retake the class and do really good the next time. So, DO NOT wait until later to ask for help. Once you realize you're having trouble find a tutor, ask your professor, or go to a learning center. Learning centers are just that, you go and get help with the subject you're having trouble on, it's like a group tutoring session.

Choosing classes in college is actually pretty fun because you can schedule who you take and what time you take the class so that it fits around your schedule. The university I went to during my very first quarter of college had class options where you go to class for two and half hours but the class is only a couple days a week. If you choose that kind of class, don't become lazy to show up during the days you actually have to go.

What you get done in high school is important as well, I didn't realize that until my senior year like most people. But be sure you're ready. I'll post another "Piece of Advice" on tips for those of you guys still in high school. Be on watch for that one!

Hope this was helpful! ♡

Happy New Year!

Hey, everyone!

It was New Year's Day yesterday, but I still hope that 2014 was a good year for you all. If not, then I hope 2015 will be better!

I apologize for not keeping up with my blog or YouTube lately, but I hope to continue to post and upload videos at least once a week from now on. I'll be starting winter quarter on Monday, but the good news is that I'll only be going to campus on Fridays. This means that I'll try to have something up almost every week. either on here or my YouTube channel on Thursdays. If not, please wait until the following week.

For sure things I'll be posting within the next four weeks:

• YouTube (Wednesdays)
• What I got for Christmas
• What is on my phone?
• Favorites of 2014
• Blog (Tuesdays)
• Current Every day Makeup
• Skincare Routine
• A Piece of Advice: How to Choose Classes in College

There are a couple of items I want to review as well but I just received them and I want to make sure I've used them for an appropriate amount of time before doing a proper review.

Happy New Year and I wish everyone a good and healthy 2015! ♡
