Get Ready with Me: Outside Lands Music Festival

Although I'm mentally getting ready for the Kaaboo music festival in San Diego, I wanted to share with you this look I wore to Outside Lands last month. I recorded this little Get Ready with Me on the third and last day of Outside Lands. While the look itself isn't anything crazy, I did decide to add some metallic tattoos to jazz things up. Plus, I think a touch of gold was more than appropriate considering Elton John was the headliner that night. I totally missed my opportunity to rock a 90's Elton John concert shirt though! Ugh, I'll have to remember to dig through my collection of concert t-shirts next time.

What's In My Music Festival Bag?

One of the most popular videos to record for beauty/style YouTubers is the classic "What's in my bag?" video. I've even done a few myself but I decided to add a little twist this time around. Why not show you what I'm took to a music festival AT the music festival? Yes, I asked my boyfriend to record me take out all the items out my backpack while I was waiting for the next act to go up. I got a lot of weird stares, but it's ok because frankly I'm used to them by now. The video was recorded on the third and final day of Outside Lands, a.k.a. the day I camped out in the front of the stage to see Elton John. That should explain why I had so much food in my bag, but I have absolutely no excuse for all the lip products.

August 2015 Favorites

So I'm like 90% done with my room which means I can now go back to blogging and making videos! There was no way that I was going to miss out on posting my monthly favorites, despite the fact that there wasn't a lot of beauty or skincare products to talk about. That didn't stop me from blabbing in this video though! As per usual, this favorites video is around 15+ minutes because I felt like we needed to take some time to catch up.

Music Festival Makeup Bag

This is my 500th post and I happen to be celebrating in Outside Lands. What can I say? The timing was perfect. Last year I showed you what I was bringing along with me to Outside Lands and we're to go through everything once again! This is my third year attending the Outside Lands music festival and my seventh music festival that I've attended so far, so by now I consider myself somewhat of a pro when it comes to packing for a music festival. My makeup and toiletries bag is a little full, but take into consideration that there's no camping at Outside Lands and that the weather is much cooler in San Francisco. When I'm packing for a music festival the products that I take along with me have to meet the following criterias: 1.) Is it versatile? 2.) It is compact and does it meet the TSA guidelines? 3.) Does it travel well? (There's nothing worse than a cracked powder product). This video might be helpful for anyone considering attending a music festival in the future, or go on a short trip.

How To Apply Liquid Lipstick

I think you all know by now that I am in love with liquid lipsticks. I cannot get enough of these lip products because they're extremely long lasting, pigmented, and matte. One thing that I'll admit is that it took me a few tries to master liquid lipsticks due to how different they are to any other lip product that I own. If you get too much product then things can become incredibly messy and sometimes liquid lipsticks can create the appearance of Sahara desert lips. In my latest tutorial I'm going to walk you through the easy steps I take in order to get the best liquid lipstick application. Trust me, applying liquid lipstick isn't as hard as it may seem.
