Today's Make Up: Wednesday Brights

Heeeey allll! Happy Hump, Hump, Hump Day! Jeez, that sounds kinda wrong. Haha. :P

It was such a long night for me last night. I cramped so bad I could not sleep until 2 or 3 in the morning. When I was able to fall asleep, the power went out, which is really, really odd. Where I live in Arizona, we do not get power outage at all, maybe once every two or three years during  really bad thunder storms, not in the middle of a bright, clear, sunny day. It was only out for probably an hour but the house got so hot without the A/C I could not sleep it off. When it finally turned back on, I fell asleep for about 20 minutes before the alarm rung for me to get up. Hooooorible night, lack of sleep, cramping, slight headache yet I am oddly in a good mood.

I was in such a great mood this morning that  instead of my usual simple, natural makeup, I opted for brighter colors to match my mood. Nothing over the top, nothing too extravagantly fancy, just more colors than what I'll usually wear.

SONGS OF THE DAY

Monthly Faves: February

I decided to come out with a new series, this series will be done monthly and will be posted the first week of the following month. Since this is the first week of March, this post will be about February Faves.

Face: Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette in Hidden Agenda

On days that I go without foundation or BB cream, this concealer palette is my best friend. I use this concealer regardless with a foundation or on its own. The neutralizer evens out the redness while the darker concealer covers dark spots and the lighter shade as a sort of highlight.

Eyes: Wet N Wild Mega Liner Liquid Eyeliner in Black

I think it's safe to say that I never, ever leave the house without eyeliner. Intense, winged, cat eye or just a subtle line, this liquid liner does the job well. I probably go through more of this liner than any of my make up products I own. That says a lot.

Lips: NYX Butter Lip Balm in Parfait

No matter if it's summer or winter, lip balm is the main necessity for me. Sometimes lip balms are just too plain and boring and I just don't feel like topping it off with a lipstick. Thank goodness for tinted lip balm. They keep things interesting, low maintenance style. My particular favorite for last month is NYX Butter Lip Balm in Parfait, a gorgeous light pink shade. It is very beautiful on the lips.

Miscellaneous: Vaseline Cocoa Butter Lotion & Petroleum Jelly

My saviors of the winter months. I lavishly apply the lotion all over before I go to bed. I apply the jelly to my lips after removing all of my make up. I leave it on for about 15 minutes before I take a toothbrush to exfoliate. I was able to protect myself from hurtful dry, cracking skin and lips because of these two lovelies.

Food/Drinks: Teddy Grahams Cinnamon & Gold Peak Sweet Tea

I've been munching and sipping these not only last month but for a good while now. Ever since I decided to "eat and live healthier" and completely cut chips and sodas out, I've really turned to Teddy Grahams and Sweet Tea. I know they're not the healthiest alternative but it's better than chips and sodas.

Song:  "A Day Without You" - S.M. The Ballad with EXO Chen & SHINee Jonghyun

This song has been on repeat all last month. The lyrics are so deep and meaningful. Even if you don't understand what they're saying, you can just listen to their beautiful vocals conveying the lyrics. Not to mention...how sexy they look, especially Chen during the high notes. Dies... 

Well that was fun. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. A couple more days til the weekend. Yay! Thank you for reading. :)
