June '18 Favorites! ♡

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog!
Today I'm going to be talking about my favorite products for the month of June. I really experimented with lots of makeup looks and fun colors this month! Expect more blog posts on makeup looks coming soon. Let's get right into my favorites of the month.

Morphe 35B: I've had this palette for a while but have rarely used it. This month I've been doing a lot of colorful looks so this palette was perfect! They did stop selling it which is a bummer but if you're able to find it, definitely pick it up!
NYX Worth the Hype mascara: I got this in a voxbox and was super excited to try it. I have no lashes and when I put this on it gives me volume and a bit of length. Definitely makes my lashes stand out!
Dose of Colors x Desi x Katy Hot Fire liquid lipstick: Another product I've had for a while now and I've only used about twice. This has been my go-to lip color this month! I wear it 90% of the time and I always get compliments on it.
Aliexpress 3D08 Lashes: These lashes are seriously so gorgeous! Everyone always thinks I'm wearing some expensive lash brand but they're only $2.32! They don't feel cheap at all and so far I've gotten about 10 uses and they still look great.
Hourglass Veil Mineral primer: This is one of my favorite primers. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin at all and it makes my foundation glide on with easy. I love pairing their foundation stick with this as well.
Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm: I love using this to take off my makeup. It gets everything off and doesn't irritate my skin and also doesn't leave a gross residue.
Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel: I got this as gratis and was pretty excited to use it cause I love spot treatments. When I say I put this on my blemish and woke up and it was completely flat! I was seriously amazed at how fast this worked.

That's all for today's post. I'll be posting a lot more looks in the upcoming weeks.
Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed! ♡♡

BLACKPINK "DDU-DU DDU-DU" Music Video Inspired Look ♡

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog!
A couple of days ago I did a look that was inspired by BLACKPINK's new music video for "DDU-DU DDU-DU." The song is everything, I'm obsessed! The video was so pretty and they all looked amazing. I got inspired by one of the dancing scenes and decided to do a look. Here's what I came up with and all the products that I used.

primer: Touch In Sol No Poreblem Primer
foundation: Urban Decay All Nighter in 3
concealer: Too Faced Born This Way in Light
powder: Laura Mercier Translucent Powder
brows: Anastasia Brow Wiz in Soft Brown
eyes: Morphe 35B palette, Stila Glitter & Glow in Sunset Cove, NYX Matte Black liner, NYX Worth the Hype mascara
lashes: Lilly Lashes in Miami


It took me forever to do this look because I couldn't get the right shades of blue in my crease. I finally was satisfied with my crease shades and then it was super easy to do the ombre lid! I got so many compliments on this when I posted it on social media. I'll most likely be recreating it to wear to work!

Play! by Sephora June '18 ♡

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to be showing you guys what I got in this month's Play! by Sephora box.

THEME: Summer Nights
Lancome Definicils High Definition Mascara: I've tried this mascara before and it gives me lots of volume so I'm happy to have it back in my life!
Too Faced Melted Matte Lipstick in Queen B: This is one of the shades I've been dying to get my hands on so I can't wait to use it.
Living Proof No Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream: I have curly hair so it gets frizzy all the time. With it being summer, this is definitely going to come in handy!
Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover: I love trying new makeup removers because most of the time i'll end up finding one that works even better than what I was previously using. I've tried the balm version of this and wasn't that big of a fan but I'm sure I'll like this one.
Tatcha The Silk Canvas Face Primer: Seeing all the reviews for this product, I've been dying to try it out! I'm so excited that it's in this month's box and can't wait to try it!
Maison Margiela REPLICA Music Festival: I don't think I've ever used a REPLICA fragrance. This one smells pretty good!

That's all for today's post. Overall, this box was really good! I'll definitely use all of the products. Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed!

Get Un-Ready with Me! ♡

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to be showing you guys all of the products that I use to remove my makeup. I've been wanting to do this for a while now but haven't found the perfect routine for myself. Now that I've found all the right products for myself I can finally do this post! Let's get right into it.

S T E P 1:
I've tried a couple of makeup removing balms but they've all left a nasty residue on my skin or were hard to remove. I got this product in a Play! by Sephora box which is a great subscription as you get to try out various products. This is so easy to use. I take a small scoop with the back of my nail and rub it between my palms before distributing the product all over my face, except for my eyes. 

S T E P 2:
I take a cleansing cloth and remove all of the cleansing balm and makeup. I'll fold the cloth and then proceed to remove my eye makeup with it. I'm not too picky when it comes to cleansing cloths. There has been a couple brands that have left my skin burning so I obviously don't repurchase those.

S T E P 3:
I've been using this cleanser for about a month now and it's really helped keep my skin from breaking out. You don't need much so this will definitely last you as well.





S T E P 4:
I like to go in with this on a cotton pad just to make sure I've gotten all of my makeup off. It always comes out clean which is how I know this routine really does get all of my makeup off.




Those are all of the products that I use to remove my makeup! If I'm removing my makeup at night then I'll follow up with my night time products. I do plan on doung a night time skincare routine so please look out for that. Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed!
