Scribbles and Make-up

I haven’t worn makeup of any kind since we started #SIP and today, I started feeling a bit more “normal” again. I haven’t felt like myself in a long while, so when I was clearing my things at work, I grabbed the #makeupbag I kept at work. In today’s super fast and easy #eyemakeup I used @milanicosmetics #07BasicMattes #eyeshadowpalette. I don’t know if you can get it in stores anymore but it’s amazing. Formula blends well, the colots go on easily, and it’s so buildable. Also, because I was lazy, I just used the brush that came with it. I didn’t use mascara but I did use my @tweezerman #eyelashcurler to help lift my eyes a little. I also used my @aracelibeauty #ojosperfectosgeleyelinerpencil. I had never tried it before but I got it in an @ipsy #addon and figured I would give it a go. So far, it’s working and I use #eyeliner only to #tightline. My eyes are fairly small and I have a #monolid so if I wanted to try something really drastic, I would end up looking like a raccoon if I ever closed them while wearing eyeliner. As for lips, I love a good one, but because we are wearing #masks, lipstick would just smear around in there. At night though, I consistently use my very much adored #essentiallipenhancer by @jouercosmetics! I hope you all stay safe out there no matter where you are or what you do. #motd #simplemakeup #fastmakeup #milani #aracelibeauty https://www.instagram.com/p/CBHDTTED_BF/?igshid=nm98vs8avckh

Back in the #nubclub! At the same time, with #covid19, it is important to keep and maintain good #nailhygiene! The last time I did my nails was in mid-March and I used my #glossstrips from @dashingdiva_usa. Since then, I have not done my nails at all. Yesterday, I decided it was finally time to go back to it! In this #notd #naillook I used an old favorite of mine in the shade #ByteBlue from @sally_hansen. To make sure my nails don’t stain and to make sure the #polish went down smooth, I used a #basecoat from @holotaco. I also used the #glossytaco from #holotaco to finish. The #glitterpolish is to cover a couple bumps I gave myself washing my glasses 😂. For that, I used another favorite glitter polish in #Marcy from @livelovepolish! Overall, I’m pretty pleased by the way it looks since it’s been a while I’ve painted my nails! #nailpolish #nailpolishaddict #nailsofinstagram #nails #bluenails #glitternails https://www.instagram.com/p/CABcm2_jDqC/?igshid=mklio5m6mewp

It’s so strange for me going from intercting with 100+ people a day to just seeing one person and a cat everyday. As much of a downer as losing my routine and structure for the last few years is, there are some things I can do to cheer myself up. One thing I like to do but ignored is to do #masks. I generally prefer a #peeloffmask or a good #sheetmask because the clean up isn’t so bad. I have never tried the @purlisse #watermelonenergizing2minutepolishingpeel but it came in my @fabfitfun #subscriptionbox so I figured I would give it a try! #selfcare #mentalhealth #treatyourself #begentlewithyourself #youmatter #skincare #facecare #beauty #skincareroutine https://www.instagram.com/p/B-gexz_jXad/?igshid=x9oes0zg80qn

It’s a #nailchange day. I finally tried my bottle of #notsolowkey from the #expressie line by @essie. I know it’s meant to be like a 3-in-1 with the base, color, and top coats but because it’s red I wanted to make sure it wouldn’t stain. So with a little additional help from @holotaco I used the #glossytaco and regular#basecoat to help lock everything in! Let’s see how long it lasts! #notd #nailsofinstagram #homemanicure #freshnails #nailpolish #nails https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Ypn_8jFrZ/?igshid=gh5mae42v5pv

Super excited for the @ipsy #ipsyaddon this month! I had initially gotten this in a previous #glambag and was skeptical. When I tried it on I was blown away. The #blush is subtle and buildable, the color is awesome with my skin tone, and the pan size is pretty generous (full size). Unfortunately the lid to mine broke off but when I saw this as an addon for $3 (!!!) I knew ai had to get it! It’s the same size as the full size, but for waaaay less, like seriously, WAY less! #ipsy #ipsyglambag #ipsyaddons #ofracosmetics #ofracollab #madisonmiller #ofraxmadisonmiller #makeup https://www.instagram.com/p/B8UMOhmAaSs/?igshid=ivhb2iydcz6h

For our family’s #LunarNewYear dinner I wanted red and a lot of it! I used @urbandecaycosmetics #NakedCherry #eyeshadowpalette and I used #FireAlarm from @vanessasvanity. I love how the #matte #shadows from the #palette came out and blended so gorgeously but #VanessasVanity never fails to amaze me. I absolutely love how easy the color sticks and stays on! Bonus points for #nofallout! #makeup #urbandecay #indiebrands #lashparadise #maybelline #loreal #highandlow #eyemakeup https://www.instagram.com/p/B7xl2iIgiIi/?igshid=1uc80um1pai69

Who would have thought #UPins would make great #nailprops? But, it has been about two weeks(!) since I started wearing #DoYouSteelLoveMe from @funlacquer on my nails! There has only been VERY mild chipping but it’s time for something new! Don’t get me wrong though, I super love this color. Also, the #LongLastingBaseCoat from @holotaco really works! 😂 I think one of the great things is that its very sticky but does not dry out the nail bed, which is a consistent problem I have had in the past. #nailpolish #nailpolishaddict #notd #holonails #glitterpolish #glitterynails #nailsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ke5x3gVWc/?igshid=1jn4bko4htgrc

My warpaint supplies for today 😂 If you can’t tell, I don’t post much and if I do it tends to be #nailpolish but I’m trying with all the #makeup stuff too. There’s a dinner party tonight so I figured I would put in some effort to look nice! I think this is the most stuff I’ve ever used 🤣 Face: @sephora #AYA #AllDayHydrator @maccosmetics #fixplus @maybelline #agerewind #neutralizer @physiciansformula #butterbronzer #bronzer @ofracosmetics #ofraxmaddisonmiller @hourglasscosmetics #ambientpowder #palette @urbandecaycosmetics #allnightersettingspray Eyes: @urbandecaycosmetics #antiagingprimerpotion #NakedHeat @tweezerman #eyelashcurler @lorealmakeup #lashparadise Tools: #brushes @ipsy #ipsyxtetris #soniakashuk @beautyblender @farahbrushes @bhcosmetics @shopmissa @vera_mona #colorswitch https://www.instagram.com/p/B6T8LQrglyh/?igshid=fowphmt0xo38

I couldn’t decide so I wore all of them! On the ring finger is #IceQueen; on all the other fingers is #Top1Percent; but on my index and pinky is #Rendezvous layered on top. Overall, I’m very happy with the way it came out! The different size and color of glitters definitely made it a lot more fun! #nailpolish #hologlitter #holonails #funlacquer #nailpolishaddict https://www.instagram.com/p/B6M7gWdg-6Q/?igshid=1i9wkuynomd7d

😍😍😍 my #naked2 and #named3 #eyeshadowpalettes are here!!! I know they’ve been around for a long time but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Thank you to @sephora for having a good #BlackFridaySale and #makeupdeal so I basically got both for the price of one! And now the collection is (mostly!) complete! I know #NakedHoney is missing but the color selection in that #palette isn’t my cup of tea so I’m fine with not having it. But these ones I know I’ve always wanted and I’m so happy they’re here!!! #makeup #eyeshadow #palettecollection #urbandecay https://www.instagram.com/p/B5uGjoiAre7/?igshid=1f0ntg0havpj7

My #peelybase #nails kept popping off 😂 I decided to try #basecoat from @holotaco since I wanted the #nailpolish to stick on for much longer. Only 9 more days left of school and then we’re out! #holotaco #playrosé #frostlight #midnightspark #funlacquer #frozen #chiclacquer #topcoat #notd https://www.instagram.com/p/B5t0_a-A2hB/?igshid=6ns9uqz9x0px

Yaaaay!!! My #nailpolishhaul from @whatsupnails came in today!! I’m so excited because I have been looking forward to getting my hands (#nails) on these #holopolishes by @funlacquer for a while! I had hoped #whatsupnails was going to do a #ThanksgivingSale or #BlackFridaySale and they did not disappoint! I even got the free #stampingpolish! 😍😍😍 #nailpolish #nailpoliahaddict #holographicpolish #funlacquer #stampingplate #nailsofinstagram #nailsupplies #nailpolishsplurge https://www.instagram.com/p/B5oaI1RgUPC/?igshid=5orbw3ad946d

Ohh yessss...these are the #holos I purchased from @holotaco when the #ChristmasCollection was released. I didn’t buy the boxed set because there were only some I wanted but here they are! For the base coat I have the #peelybase and for the top coat I have #glossytaco. On my thumb is #frostlight, index and pinky is #midnightspark, and my index and middle is #playrosé! #notd #holotaco #holodays #nailpolishaddict #nailpolish #holographicnails #holonails https://www.instagram.com/p/B5hXew0gf3R/?igshid=1xe385phgln7p

Yaaaay, my goodies from @ofracosmetics came in!!! I got three #longlastingliquidlipsticks and three #lipliners! I got #LagunaBeach #Tuscany and #Unzipped for the #liquidlipsticks. In the #lipliner I got #Mauve #Spice and #Wine. I’m so excited to try these and I have always heard good things about #OFRA so I can’t wait to try these! #lip #makeup #lipcolor #lippies #tryingnewthings https://www.instagram.com/p/B5e8VObAqW6/?igshid=10z30bd50zry7

I don’t know about you but I tend to gravitate to the same colors when it comes to #eyeshadowpalettes! However, despite my slowly growing collection of @urbandecaycosmetics #nakedpalettes these two are among the ones I don’t have but want but also don’t need. I knew @ultabeauty was having the #naked3palette for half off but I didn’t know @sephora had BOTH the #naked2 and #naked3 for 50% off! Guess where I ended up buying my two #nakedpalettes 😏 I couldn’t give up such a nice deal! Here’s hoping they get here soon! #blackfriday #makeupaddiction #eyeshadow #makeupcollector #makeupsteals #makeupdeals #makeupsale #sephora #urbandecay https://www.instagram.com/p/B5efmq4AwWt/?igshid=qjjm56olcc3r

#Holo! I was hoping that these would be here by the time it was Thanksgiving and here they are! I ordered #peelybase #playrosé (which is also the one my nails) #midnightspark #frostlight a #longlastingbase and #glossytaco! I’m so excited about all of them but mostly the #longlastingbasecoat! For now, I’m pretty happy with the peely, the polish, and the top coat! #holotaco #holonails #notd #diymanicure #nailpolish #nailpolishaddict https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Zl57iA0zi/?igshid=qcs6466z9iwm

I love my #upins from @lillarosehair! I have really long thick hair and I was worried that the pins wouldn’t be able to hold all my hair up. I love the way these #mapleleaf pins look in my hair and how they hold all my hair up in a bun so well! Definitely impressed and really looking forward to using them more! #hairstyleoftheday #braidedbun #hairupdo #simplehairtwist #hairaccessories #longhairdontcare https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Vqrs4gWW4/?igshid=16l5su5ln1zwt
