Day 41

Hi Darlings! Back again today to review the Double Wing Eyeliner look.I had a couple of conflicted feelings about this, but that really only came from the video itself. In the video she doesn’t really give a step-by-step tutorial of how it’s done, she just kind of glosses over everything with a generalized “just do it” that makes it just as easy to follow along with as looking at a single picture of it. That’s not really an issue for someone who already knows how to do a perfect cat eye with ease, but considering almost no one who isn’t a makeup artist or obsessed with cosmetics can do that, I thought it was really a wasted opportunity to just film herself doing it instead of actually teaching people tricks for an even cat eye so they can really follow along too. All of that aside, I think it’s a super cute look; I would say if you have the experience and can do wings with ease then definitely try it out, but if you’re a novice to the makeup scene then this might not be the best tutorial for you. That’s all for today, I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you on Monday!

Day 40

 Hello lovelies! New year, new hair for me 😜 I’ve actually had this color for a little under a month now, but since it’s been so long since I’ve posted this is its first debut! I absolutely adore it, but that enough about me, onto today’s look. Today I tried the Purple Hazy Look. Through probably 3/4 of the tutorial, I kept looking in the mirror and thinking this is gonna turn out looking like absolute garbage, but in the end it actually turned out not bad at all. My colors definitely turned out far more muted than hers, but I honestly preferred that to how strong hers came out. I didn’t end up really being a big fan of this look honestly, I felt like it really only just turned out okay and didn’t have much to offer. Maybe it’s because my colors weren’t that bright? Whatever the reason, it’s a good look for if you’re semi-casual and wearing a purple outfit, but I felt like she could’ve added more tones in to give the look more depth. That’s my two cents for today, I hope to see y’all back on Friday!

Day 39

Heeeeeello darlings, and Happy New Year! Today’s video is Stretch Your Shoes With Ice, and although she says in the video that you need a pair of leather or faux leather shoes, but I’ve seen this hack all over Pinterest saying you can use almost any type of shoe. Thankfully, my sister who wears shoes a half-size smaller than me gave me some faux leather flats she no longer wanted, so that’s what I decided to use for this tutorial. Overall, it didn’t work the best on my shoes, potentially because they were just a tad too small for me to begin with, but I did notice a slight difference in how tight they were around the sides of my feet. I feel like if you have shoes of a material that had a bit more give to them than mine did then it would work better, so I don’t know quite how well this works for leather, but either way it definitely does make an improvement. I wouldn’t recommend buying shoes too small for you and banking on this to work though, it helps to break shoes in but it does not perform miracles.  That’s all I’ve got for today, I’ll see you soon!

Day 38

[EDIT: I made this post a few months back, but before I could publish it my computer died and I’ve only recently gotten it working again! so excuse the outdated-ness of it, but here it is! Hope you enjoy😊]

Hi lovelies, today is the Summer Lush Makeup Tutorial, because even though it’s mid-October, it’s still hot enough in the south to still basically be summer. This look was, to be quite frank, not at all a fave of mine, almost entirely because of how much I loathe using eyeshadow as eye liner. It fades quickly, is much harder to apply, and barely shows up. If you want something less intense than gel or liquid then just use a pencil and maaaayyybe feather it out with some eyeshadow to give it a smudged, smokey look, I can think of 0 situations where I would ever recommend to anyone to use only eyeshadow as an eye liner. Just don’t do it, save yourself the time and heartache. That being said, I really liked the color palette for this look, I decided to change the lip color to a dark purple to make it work better with my outfit and I think it definitely added a lot of contrast to the look. That’s it for today, I’ll see you in a few days!

Day 37

Happy hump day bitches! Today I’m gonna be talking about the Egg Mask Facial, so let’s get cooking! If you tend to get a little scrambled when it comes to diy masks, then no worries, because this combo of pore-tightening/moisturizing masks is incredibly easy to do, and really does leave your skin feeling refreshed and silky smooth. I like that it’s a 2-part facial, because if you don’t want to use the egg yolk as a moisturizing mask/don’t have the time you can always just supplement in your usual daily moisturizer. With both the masks, you can definitely feel when the mask is done because you legitimately cannot move your face, it’s such a weird feeling. After the egg white mask, the egg yolk mask, and an anti-aging serum worth more than I am that I bummed from a friend, my face felt seriously luxurious. I definitely recommend this mask for anyone with a spare egg and a face to put it on, it’s egg-ceptionally worth it. And you know what they say, you can’t get perfect skin without cracking a few eggs. See you all in a few days!

Day 36

Heeelllllo everyone, I’m back from the grave! Today’s tutorial is a Guy Makeup Tutorial and features my resident in-house Guy™ friend, John. I figured it would be best to do it on someone else since that’s what she does, but there’s nothing distinctly “guy” about it, so I’d consider it to be more of a natural look. Honestly, neither of us were really a big fan of this look, mainly just because for some reason she doesn’t cover the entire T zone of the face, so there’s a noticeable contrast between the forehead and the rest of the face as far as coverage. I personally think that it would be better if there was some foundation added instead of entirely just concealer. That’s all I’ve got for today, see you on Wednesday!!!
