Today's Make Up: Water Park Fun

Hello Hump Day all! After getting through the hump today, we will finally see the weekend. How fast was that?

Since this is the last week of Summer Vacay for my kid cousins, I decided to take them out to the water park today. Yes, there's a pool at home but nothing beats the water park, it's just 10x better! So that's how I spent my day, at the water park, in the sun...yeah... A skin repairing session will be a MUST!

FACE
Hang Ten Classic Sport with SPF 50
IPKN NY Hydro & Pore BB with SPF 35
Benefit Benetint

EYES
Maybelline 24 HR Color Tattoo in Shady Shores
BH Cosmetics Waterproof Eye Crayon in Shadow

LIPS
Benefit Benetint
Chap Stick Ultra with SPF 30

I skipped on moisturizer and instead used a hydrating sunscreen mixed with a hydrating BB Cream as a tinted moisturizer, sunscreen duo. I wanted to even out my skin tone but not necessarily conceal everything. The DIY tinted sunscreen will protect my skin all the while provide with light coverage. To bring my face back to life, I applied a little Benetint on the apples of my cheeks.

I applied Shady Shores all over my eyelids with a clean finger. This shade is light enough to be natural but pigmented enough to give a shimmer and glow. I wanted some colors, but not bright and vibrant in your face color. I used a Waterproof Eye Crayon to line my eyes. This will stay on for a good while if you do not rub on it.

I also used Benetint for my lips as well. Just a little something, something to give my lips color that will also stay on all day. Whenever I go swimming or spend the day outside, Chap Stick Ultra is my go to lip balm. Once applied, it will not budge at all, ever with water. But still, I reapplied every now and then just to be on the safe side.

Throughout the day, I did not forget to reapply sunscreen to my face and body. Always remember to reapply guys! Just a simple step to prevent skin cancer.

Now comes the fun part! I get to apply the hydrating mask  to cool things off. I bet'chu I'll probably hear a sizzling sound as soon as I apply the mask to my face, similar to a frying bacon.

All in all, it was a fun day! I miss those kids so much... although we see each other every weekend but still. They had fun and I had fun with them so it was all worth it. But at 24, I should take more drastic steps to help heal my skin and get it back to its healthiest state.

Hope y'all had a great day. Just a couple more days guys, we can do it!

Today's Make Up: Day At The Lake

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!!

Hello everyone and happy weekend! How are you spending your weekend? I was out at the lake all morning. We had a family gathering there, went boating and had a BBQ. My skin is seriously not loving me at all currently. After this is posted, I will go lather myself in aloe veras and just be a slime ball for the rest of the day.

Besides that, these are the few products that were on my face today. Glamour was not my top priority today.

FACE
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen with SPF 55
IPKN NY Hydro & Pore BB with SPF 35
NYX Stick Blush in Tulip

EYES
Maybelline 24HR Color Tattoo in Shady Shores

LIPS
Benefit Benetint

On my face, I mixed the Neutrogena Sunscreen and BB Cream to create a tinted moisturizer and applied it as I normally would with any face product, only today, I used my fingers. I didn't set it with a powder today like I normally would because.. it's kinda useless. Haha. I didn't contour nor highlight either. The water, sun and sweat would just melt and wash everything off. I did however, use a stick blush to bring some colors back to my face. The BB Cream kinda washed the life outta my face. I used a cream blush because those tend to stick around longer than powder ones.

I used my fingers to apply Shady Shores all over my lids. I used a pearly, bright gold shade to brighten up my eyes and the shimmer will catch the light. No eyeliner, mascara or anything crazy like that. Even waterproof products will not work on me mid-Summer.

To give my lips some color, I used Benetint to stain my lips. This surprisingly stayed on until I got home. It lasted through me eating, drinking and swimming for about 6-7-ish hours.

I am exhausted and full, yet hungry... Hmm. Today was fun, got to be with the family, had fun with the cousins. Had our grub on. Much needed to release all that stress.

How do you relieve stress? Please share your method down below.

Thank you for visiting guys!!!! And thanks a bunches for reading. Come back soon!! Enjoy your weekend all.

Today's Make Up: Not Looking Sickly

Hi everyone. I hope all is well. I'm literally sick in bed today. Only got up because I had a doctor's appointment earlier. I almost never get sick, but when I do, it's really intense; there's a whole cycle I have to go through in order to get better. I had a sore throat and congestion last week, now I'm coughing and ran a fever all night. The cycle is now complete so by tomorrow, I should be back to normal with all the rest I'm getting today. Mom made me some comfort food, congee and brought me fresh fruits to snack on.

I'm sorry guys, today's post will be a bit short and to the point. There's like a tiny person inside my head with a sledge hammer pounding away, my temples are literally pulsing.

Today's make up is nothing fancy, the main point was to make myself look undead. I mentioned yesterday that I was a little under the weather, which turned out today to be a full blown cold. Could not get any sleep last night, I'm totally congested, my throat feels like it's on fire and I can hardly speak. I had to get myself to the doctors...in the all glory mess that I am.

Concealer for my panda eyes and around my nose, blemish powder to set the concealer and a tint to "naturally" liven up my dead face. A beige creme shadow all over my lids and inner eye corner to "wake" my eyes, lined my eyes with a pencil liner for a more natural look and topped off with a little mascara.

I don't know why but my lips are SUPER dried today. No lipsticks today, just a nice hydrating tinted lip balm.

That's it. Hope you guys liked it. I am now off to lay down and it's Netflix-ing time. Thank you for stopping by and thanks for reading guys! :)
