Updated Simple Everyday Makeup Routine!

Hello everyone!


Yeah, two post in one night!! On a roll! Let's keep it that way. . . .
As in posting regularly not putting up more than one post.


As the title implies, here's my updated everyday makeup routine. It's very simple and fresh!




After I wash and moisturize my face. . . . . . .
I go ahead and apply this concealer to my under eyes for my more rested look.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer

Then I take an angled eyeliner brush and my dipbow pomade to fill in my eyebrows just enough to make my eyebrows actually visible and not so sparse.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Medium Brown

After that, I line my eyes with my current favorite eyeliner. I just follow the natural shape of my eye with a small flick at the end.

Kat Von D Ink! Liner in Trooper (Black)

Taking a black pencil liner, I just line the outside corners of my eyes connecting to the small flick I made with the liquid liner.

Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes in Black

Using a pearl pink liner I just add this to my inner corners of my eyes to highlight. This and adding the liner to the outer corners give me a more innocent and and teary-eyed look.

L'Oreal Silkissme pencil liner in Highlight

Finally, I do a gradient lip with this orange lip tint I got recently from the Face Shop.

The Face Shop Enamel Coating Tint in Enamel Orange

And the look is complete! ^^"

I love adding this orange as a pop of color to my makeup because it just makes my face look more refreshed and awake. It's also a good color for the summer time and goes well with my medium skin tone. This look is very simple because I love sleeping until I actually really need to get up and get ready for school. So, my makeup routine can't be too long or else I'll just be in a rush. I don't include any other face makeup other than the concealer because I'm currently on a "journey" (topical medication) to get rid of my acne both on my face and on my body. I don't want anything clogging my pores and interrupting that process.

Oh, I also have a video on my YouTube channel where I actually show how I do my everyday makeup.

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!

Laneige BB Cushion Review!

Hey everyone!
I'm sorry I haven't posted anything since early April but now I'm back!
I don't know for how long but let's enjoy each other's company while I'm here.


Okay so last month I decided to buy the Laneige BB Cushion from my local Target.
Yes, TARGET SELLS LANEIGE!!!
So since I've had it for a little while now, I've decided it's time to write a review on it.

As always I'm not being paid to do this review.

I so ecstatic when I saw Laneige being sold at Target here in the US. I was so happy that I just had to tell my best friend about it. The day I saw the Laneige products at Target, I decided to buy something. No, it wasn't the BB Cushion just yet. The very first Laneige product I bought was the Water Bank Sleeping Pack. Then a couple weeks after, I decided to finally buy the BB Cushion. I've been using it ever since.

This is what comes inside the box:

It also comes with a Refill!

This BB cushion retail for $34 according to the Target website.

http://www.target.com/p/laneige-bb-cushion-medium-5-oz/-/A-14897238#prodSlot=medium_1_3&term=laneige

Target carries three shades; Light, Medium, and Dark. I got it in the shade medium.

BB Cushion is pretty much BB cream in a compact form while still being a liquid. How does this work? Inside there's 0.52 oz of product with a cushion holding it in place. To get the product out, simply take the special sponge applicator and push on the cushion.

I say special because the applicator isn't your normal every day makeup sponge you can buy at a drugstore. It's specially designed to not absorb as much product as a regular makeup sponge would. The applicator is very soft and easy to use. To apply the product, simply tap the applicator on the face and keep tapping and moving the applicator around until the product is fully blended.

Ratings:

• Color: 4 out of 5
• The color I got was Medium which is a bit too light for my skin but with a little bit of bronzer, it works well.
• Packaging: 5 out of 5
• The packaging is very light and sturdy. Very travel friendly. You could even pop out the cushion portion of the packaging if the compact as a whole seems too bulky for you to bring on your travels.
• Concept: 3 out of 5
• Although I love the packaging, it being light and travel friendly, the concept has it's cons. The huge pro about this concept is that you don't have to bring a tube of BB cream with you when you travel and this compact makes it very easy for someone to bring along in case they need to touch up their makeup. But the con to this is that it's kind of hard to tell how much product is left in the cushion.
• Scent: 4 out of 5
• This product does have a light scent to it that goes away after a while. But if you're one of those people who either don't like having scents in their face products or are sensitive to scents, I don't recommend this to you.
• Texture and coverage: 4 out of 5
• When applied to the skin, the product is very light weight. But once its on the skin, you have to let it set for a couple of minutes other wise it feels a little tacky. The coverage is fine for me since I don't have as much breakouts as much as I did before. It covers up redness and evens out my skin tone.

Overall I like this product a lot especially since I use it as part of my school makeup. It's very easy to use and the application doesn't take that long. Highly recommend to those who are always in a rush. I don't really recommend to those who have oily skin like I do because unless you have a good setting powder, you will look very oily at the end of the day. I forgot to switch foundations once before going to work and when I got off work at 9:30pm, I was so oily it was disgusting. But using it for school, which is only about three hours for me, it does very well on staying on my face.

I have also posted "A Look At: Laneige BB Cushion" video on my YouTube Channel. It shows how to apply this BB Cushion and how it looks on my skin.

Happy New Year! My (late) Online Winter Haul!

First, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2013 IS GONE AND 2014 IS HERE!!!
(No resolution though...)


As I had said in my previous post, this post will be my Online Winter 2013 Haul. Yes, I know it's very late since I did say I was going to post it either before Christmas or before New Year, but yeah....


On to my Winter 2013 Haul!


First website I ordered from since the beginning of last year, Pretty and Cute! (prettyandcute.com)
I'm really into Korean makeup, skin care, music, and fashion. So this website is such a lifesaver to me since they're based in Oregon, I get my stuff in about three days with economy shipping. ;)
This time around, I wanted a new skin care regimen, so that's the category for this order!

To start off with, this is was my package looked like.

 Gotta cover my address so no creepers come visit me...

Always with either just pink or pink and white packing peanuts.

The first thing I ordered was the Holika Holika: Soda Pore Cleansing BB Deep Cleansing Foam. So, it's a face wash. It smells like Ramune (soda) candy and has small blue beads. After using it, my skin feels so clean and it does tighten my skin, so if you don't like that effect, I don't recommend on you buying this product. It does foam up a bit but not as much as I would've liked it to. :(

Cost: $16

Claims:

Provides minerals

Reduces Itchiness

Reduces Redness

Cleanses

Moisturizes

Oil Control 

Pore Control

http://www.prettyandcute.com/Holika-Holika-Soda-Pore-Cleansing-BB-Deep-Cleansing-Foam-p5054.html

Since I have oily acne prone skin, the next product I bought was the Skinfood Tea Tree Emulsion (for trouble skin). I've never had an emulsion before but I like how this product is. Although it is pretty watery in consistency, it absorbs into my skin pretty quickly. Even if I pour too much out, I can easily use the rest on my chest, neck, and shoulders.

Cost: $22

Claims: 

Acne Care

Oil Control

Soothes

Anti-irritant

Anti-oxidant

http://www.prettyandcute.com/Skinfood-Tea-Tree-Emulsion-for-trouble-Skin-p4811.html

My last skin care related item I ordered was the Lioele Pore Deep Clear Cleansing Brush. First thoughts on the brush; "Ahh, it's so soft!" and "Too bad there's no suction cup to stick it to my mirror." I love the packaging as with all Lioele products I have/will buy. Like I said, the brush hairs are soooooo soft! It's very easy to hold also. Note: This product is very popular and I had to wait awhile for it to be re-stocked. Also, as of right now, the date I posted this, it isn't listed on the site any more. I don't know why since it is a very VERY popular item.

Cost: $28

Claim:

Exfoliates

Deep Cleans

Removes Blackheads

the very last product I ordered off prettyandcute.com, as I said, isn't skin care related but makeup related. It's the Skinfood Soft Eyelash Curler. I had to replace my very first eyelash curler for several reasons. First important reason is that it's pretty old. Second reason is I had a stye and instead of taking the risk of spreading the bacteria, I decided to buy a new eyelash curler. I bought this one because I already do love Skinfood anyway and it was the cheapest (and brand-name) eyelash curler I came across. I still haven't tried it out yet since I heard curling your lashes frequently is bad for them.

Comes with replacement rubber thingy

(Sorry I don't know what it's called.)

Very nice and simple packaging

Cost: $6.99

http://www.prettyandcute.com/Skinfood-Soft-Eyelash-Curler-p5273.html

My next online purchase was made on areyouaniceguy.com

Yes, I am a fan of the YouTube film makers, Wong Fu Productions.

(If you're a Nice Guy or Nice Girl, Raise your hands and be proud you're nice.)

The very first thing I've ever ordered from this site was their ever so cute, Awkward Panda. I love pandas, they're my favorite animals. I already have the keychain version and I just wanted a new panda to hold and cuddle with me while I sleep. (Don't judge me! please...)

Awkward Panda xL

As you can see from the caption underneath the picture, I bought the AWKWARD PANDA XL! He's sooo cute and FLUFFY soft! I still can't get over it. the cutest thing is that when I opened the box, he had his paw up like in the picture but he was laying down. So cute, right? Thanks Wongfu for doing that. :)

So, the next thing I had bought was Wongfu's Special Edition  DVD Collection. Yeah, I know I could always just watch their videos on YouTube. But hey, I want to support them any way I can. So I just had to but it! Plus it comes with two DVDs and an exclusive director's commentary and photo book. What fan can say no to that. Especially since a lot of their videos have such wonderful or inspiring messages behind them.

I kind of wished that they would've at least actually signed some of these DVDs since it's a special edition. But it does have printed versions of their autographs in the corner on the back of the packaging. The reason why it's split into two DVDs, is because one DVD has their drama short films and the other has their Comedy shorts and music videos they've made for artists like David Choi.

Well, that's all the stuff I ordered for myself during my winter break 2013. I may post what I got for Christmas depending on when I'll be able to post again since I'm now both a part time student and part time worker. If you guys want a review on any of the products mentioned in this post or in previous posts, don't be afraid to comment or message me and I will have that up soon! Hope you all had the happiest of Holidays and enjoy the new year. :)

Hope you guys liked this very lengthy post <3

Geo Princess Mimi (Bambi) Apple Green Review!

Since it was almost Halloween (I know this post is like 2 months late) when I ordered this pair of circle lens, PinkyParadise had a special on shipping.
This year for Halloween, I wanted to do a Dark Little Red Riding Hood. So my original plan was to have one "normal" green eye and the other being red. But I ended up just getting a pair of green circle lens.

On with the review!

Brand: Geo Princess Mimi Apple Green (Bambi series)
Color: Green with yellow center and black outer rim
Diameter: 15.0 mm


Because they were having a special on express shipping, I did receive my contacts about two days before Halloween. Which was perfect since I had at least one day to try them out.
The lens themselves cost about $23.90 and plus express shipping, they came out to be $34.80.
Yes, that does mean that express shipping was only $10.90. Which is of course pretty cheap for express shipping. Originally, the total would've came out to be abut $40-$50.


Although I love how Maplelens has faster shipping, PinkyParadise just so much more selection when it comes to prescribed lens.

Picture Time!

*All pictures were taken under bathroom lighting.*

Super cute lens case! I finally got a bear! :D (I don't like how its yellow though.)

How the lens look on brown eyes (Far Away)

Close up

How they look in the case

• Color: 10/10
• I love how natural the color looks on my dark brown eyes. They're vibrant enough that you can tell they're green but not enough to make me look freaky.
• Comfort: 10/10
• Despite them being 15.0mm which is .5mm larger than previous lens that I've purchased, they're pretty comfortable. Of course since they're a bit larger than what I'm already used to I had to get used to them for the first hour I wore them when I tried them on before wearing them for Halloween.
• Enlarging: 10/10
• With the lens being 15.0mm, they are pretty enlarging since like I said, they're bigger than what I'm used to. When I first put them on after letting them soak for the 8 hours you're required to do so, I joked how I looked like an alien since I didn't have any makeup on to make the lens look a bit more natural.

Like always, I'm not being paid to do this review.

As for the makeup I'm wearing in these pictures:

Eyebrows: E.l.f eyebrow kit in Medium

Eyes: Nyx Jumbo eye pencil in Black Bean, Etude House Tear eyeliner in Pearl tear, and Maybelline Clear Mascara

Bottom line, I'm glad with this purchase. So far, I've been liking each and everyone of the circle lens I've been purchasing and hopefully that will continue to be the case. I will be putting up new posts before Christmas rolls around (Oh my gawd, that's next Wednesday..). Two of the posts will be about recent orders I've received from PrettyandCute and areyouaniceguy.com (Wongfu Productions).

My last announcement is that I will be getting my hair done tomorrow by my cousin who has recently moved up here from California and that will be what the other post is about. :)

If I don't get all three done by Christmas, they will for sure be up before the end of the year.

One last picture:

Happy Holidays! :)

Hope this was helpful to you!

Lioele Enamel Lip Gloss Review

Here's a quick review on a recent purchase I made on prettyandcute.com.
I am not being sponsored to do this review, just so you guys know.
I bought the Lioele Enamel Lip Gloss in Rosy Pink. I honestly love Lioele in general even though I've only tried one other product by them.

04: Rosy Pink

The applicator

Swatches

 Before: without lip gloss

After: with lip gloss

So far, I absolutely love this lip gloss! It's very pigmented and non-sticky. 

Whenever my hair touches my lips while wearing this lip gloss, it doesn't stick to my lips at all. :D

Ratings (out of 5):

Color: 5 out of 5
What you see in the bottle, is what you get. Very pigmented. Does wipe off when you eat, drink, and of course wipe your mouth. Like I said, it's not sticky unlike other lip glosses I've tried in the past.

Smell: 5 out of 5
Smells amazing. Like a lot of YouTubers I've watched said, it smells like candy. Koreans really do know how to make their lip gloss smell good.

Moisturize: 5 out of 5
Very moisturizing and lasts pretty long. Just as long as the color.

Hoping to buy more in the near future. But I also want to try the Lioele Blooming Gloss. So, if any of you have tried it, comment below and tell me your thoughts and opinions.

Hope this was helpful!
