Today's Make Up: A Rush Of Amber

Heeeeeeey guys! How are you all doing? Nothing new here, just another chilly, well, rather freezing day in Arizona. But nonetheless a beautiful, new, happy day. I have to come to terms that it is now "Winter" in the AZ so I shouldn't be complaining of the cold everyday. That'll get annoying soon. LOL.

Anyway, a short, easy day today. Can't say that tomorrow... But that's tomorrow's talk. As for today, a quick fix here and there type of makeup day, aka, lazy makeup. Haha. :P

LIPS
City Color Lipstick in Hot Pink
ELF Super Glossy Lip Shine in Houston

I needed a little bit of help for my skin because a few pimple decided it was a great idea to have a party on my face. I took care of it but it's still in the process of healing so a little concealer. Winter months can be rough on the skin with the dry, cold air and all so I need to keep my skin moist, almost at all times. I love this mist, so much! It gets the job done in the Summer months and definitely a must have for the Winter months as well. <3

For my eyes, I used Inked In Pink all over my lids and then used Amber Rush on my crease and outer corner to the outer corner of my lower lash line. You know, this is just an all around, gorgeous goldish-bronzey color, it definitely is a shade that I can and have worn alone.

I was in another mood for bold lips, today, I am sporting a fuchsia. Rawr! Haha. My poor lipstick though, the poor thing took a tumble from the table to the ground while i was taking a picture. Luckily it didn't break but it did become all dented and deformed. Oh well, I have to be more careful next time. Thank goodness it was only a City Color lipstick and not a more expensive one... I think I would've cried. 

Y'all enjoy the rest of your night now. Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please do come back soon! :)

SONG OF THE DAY/MOMENT

Today's Make Up: Water Park Fun Part 2

Well hello, hello all! It is Thursday once again. So who's excited for the weekend?! *raises both hand* ME!

The kid cousins had such a great time at the water park yesterday that they begged me to take them back today. Of course it was an automatic yes, anything of them. :) And so that is how I spent yet another day.

Like yesterday, what I have on my face today is 95% protection and 5% glamour, if even that...

FACE
Hang Ten Classic Sport with SPF 50
IPKN NY Hydro & Pore BB with SPF 35
NYX Stick Blush in Tulip

EYES
Maybelline 24 HR Color Tattoo in Inked In Pink
BH Cosmetics Waterproof Eye Crayon in Shadow

LIPS
Benefit Lollitint
Chap Stick Ultra with SPF 30

Like yesterday, I mixed Hang Ten sunscreen and a hydrating BB Cream together and used it as a tinted sunscreen. Instead of using Benetint, I used a stick blush today. I applied the blush on my finger tips and then onto the apples of my cheeks in a patting motion.

I applied Inked In Pink all over my lids using my fingers. I used Shady Shores yesterday, which was a subtle gold; Inked In Pink is a subtle pink that will glow in all the right places when caught by the light. Just a little something to lift up my eyes. Then I used Shadow to lined my eyes again. It stayed on fine yesterday, just remember not to rub on it.

I swapped Benetint for Lollitint today because I am in a pink mood. Same as yesterday, Lollitint to give my lips some color that will last all day while Chap Stick Ultra will protect my lips with its SPF 30.

Reapplying of the sunscreen and chap stick is key. My skin has been exposed all day yesterday so it is more tender and easily burned today. You better believe sunscreen and shade was my best friend today.

I am off to dip myself in a tub full of aloe vera gels. No really though, I will be a slimy, slime mess for the rest of the day, apply, reapply, apply, it just won't end. My skin need its hydration back.

Thank you for joining me again guys and thank you for reading. Do come back soon! :)

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!

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. Please come back soon! :)

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: Quick n Easy

Hello Tuesday all!

I was  lounging around this morning with no intention of stepping out of the house today. Things never go as planned because not long after, one of my girl friends called me up and proposed we go out on a lunch date, ya know, to catch up and what not. If she had called, oh I don't know, maybe a couple of hours in advance, it would have been fine. Unfortunately, being the spontaneous soul that she is, she told me to meet her half an hour later at PoPo's. Uh huh...

So what do I do? I dried shampooed the heck out of my hair, threw it up in a messy high bun. I used a white cream shadow to brighten up my eyes, lined my waterline, subtly winged my liquid liner, mascara to open up my eyes and tinted lip balm. BAM! Done!!

Today's Make Up: Quick n Easy

Maybelline 24 Hours Color Tattoo in Waves of White (Limited Edition)
Essence 100% Splash-Proof Eyeliner Pen in Ultra Black
Essence Long Lasting Eye Pencil in Black Fever
Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara in Black
NYX Butter Lip Balm in Parfait

I didn't plan to turn heads or to wow anyone. I just wanted to quickly fix myself up to look presentable.  Apparently it worked ahaha.

Thank you for reading guys. :)
