Tutorial :: Back to School Makeup Look 2015

Hello my loves! 

I think it has been a couple weeks since I uploaded my Back to School Makeup Look video. Here is the belated blog post related to this video: 

It looks like many of the schools are actually starting school now, so this look will be perfect! Personally, I think this look will suit both people going back to high school or college.

Tutorial :: Everyday Makeup Look for Monolids

Happy Thursday everyone! If you remember my last post from 2014, I said that this year, I would like to step out of my comfort zone and maybe consider making a YouTube video. It took me 4 whole months into 2015 to get started, but I'm super excited to say, "IT'S LIVE ON YOUTUBE!"

Product Review :: The Face Shop Face It Lipstick

I know, I know you're probably all thinking, "Gloria, it's Fall. You should start reviewing vampy lip products." Don't get me wrong, I love my vampy plum lipsticks, but for my first lippie review, I decided talk about a beginner's product. This product is The Face Shop Face It Long Keep Lipstick in OR201. 

It looks a little too bright for a beginner lipstick, right? But take a look at my swatch down below! It's a product that has properties of a lipstick and a lip-tint! At first, I was a bit hesitant about purchasing this product, but it was definitely worth while. This is one of the products that I always seem to have with me in my bag because it's so easy to wear. I'm pretty sure I've mastered putting this on without a mirror. ;)

So, unfortunately, here comes my criticism. This product really accentuates your dry and cracked lips. I find myself having to exfoliate and moisturize my lips before applying. Also, for me, it sometimes leaves a white film on the inner portion of my lips. I actually find that with a lot of my lip balms as well, so if you know why, please let me know in the comments down below! I am not sure if I would repurchase this item, just because there's way too many lip products I want to try.

Product Review :: The Face Shop Lip & Eye Remover

Hey Everyone, 

This week, I want to review this Rice Water Bright Lip & Eye Remover from The Face Shop. 

Before purchasing this product, I used the Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover. Even though this one said, ¨oil-free," I always felt like it left my eyelids oily. So when I went to The Face Shop, I asked the lady if she could recommend a product to me without this ¨oily¨ factor, so this is the product I ended up buying. I actually used quite a bit of it, so I feel like I can properly review it. 

One thing that is similar to the Neutrogena product in that you have to mix the two solutions together. This removes ALL of my stubborn eye makeup (ie. waterproof mascara)! I also love how it's very cooling and gentle to my eyes, especially after a long day. It has a slight scent, but it's refreshing. This one is a definite repurchase. Honestly, I don't have anything negative to say about the product.
