My Everyday "Natural Glow" Make-up

Lately, I have been addicting to achieving a "natural glowy look" on an everyday bases and I finally found the perfect routine. I wish that I had a camera to record this video, I really want to start making clear videos for you guys but until then, I hope pictures will do... anyways I finally found the perfect products to achieve a natural glow in the winter.

First, after cleansing  and moisurizing my face with the Boscia Tsubaki beauty products  I apply Smashbox Photofinish primer all over, then in my "highlighting" areas( Under eyes, bridge of nose and between eyebrows) I apply the Laura Mercier Radiance primer( use as little as possible).
Once, I apply my primer(s) I then fill in my eyebrows with the Anastasia Brow Wiz in Brunette and clean them(conceal) with the Nars Radiance concealer in Caramel.
Then, I line my eyes with the Marc Jacobs "Highliner" in Blacquer followed by apply the Kat Von D tattoo liner on my top lashes and apply my mascara (which ranges). I then pop a champagne colored eye shadow in my tear ducts and pull the shadow to the middle of my under eye to brighten my eyes.
After my eyes area finished, I apply my Nars radiance concealer in the same spots I applied the Laura Mercier primer and apply my YSL Touche Eclat Beige 70 foundation or Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation in Golden and blend with my beauty blender.
Once blended, I dab my MAC Studio Fix concealer( pot) in NC42 under my eye, just to brighten it up a little more.
Lastly, I set my makeup with the MAC Skinfinish in Medium Dark and apply my bronzer which ranges between MAC Blunt and Too Faced Chocolate Solei, followed by either Nars Orgasm blush or the most recent Rihanna for MAC blush.

I tend to do nude lips on my chill days, but adding a pop of color is always a fun way to add some flair.

I promise you guys, I will soon get a legit camera and have videos ready for you all because you deserve to WATCH and not READ!.

Hello Loves!

 Sorry I've been MIA, my laptop is broken but is currently getting fixed so when I do blog it's from my handy dandy iPhone.Don't worry, I'm back and will not leave you guys again. Soon, I plan on making YouTube videos to make this blog even more entertaining and useful for you guys. Thanks for continuous support *kissy face emoji*

So in about two weeks, school will be starting back up for most people including myself. I'm going into my junior year of college( yay!) so it's crunch time now. I made a list of some great products to go back to school with so let's get started.

First, I was got a sample of the Makeup Forever HD Foundation and let me say how amazing it is. Second, I added the urban decay 24/7 liners because colored eyeliners are a great way to spice up your look without using eyeshadow, it's quick and easy if your running lathe for class or work and they're do FUN. If your not with the whole $19 price Sephora and NYX both have affordable, good quality liners. 

Next, the beauty blender is a semi new product on the scene that people rave about, we sell them at Sephora and the makeup artist use them and when I tell you FLAWLESS finish...omg amazing. Recently, Urban Decay released their new lippies the Lip Revolution( review coming soon) with amazing colors, a Moisturizing yet pigmented finish these are amazing from going from class, to the library, to some events happening on campus with minimum reapplying. The YSL luminzing concealer/ highlighter is amazing to brighten those under eyes and Casino/Laguna bronzer to add so color and definition as we lose our summer tans.

Lastly, Honey by Marc Jacobs is a fruity and fresh scent that is perfect to wear around campus.

Then, while in the Marc Jacobs store on Bleeker St.(NYC) I saw the display and was able to try the fragrance... OMG it is AMAZEBALLS, so light, fruity, and appropriate for summer.
