Empty Products #7

It has been forever since my last Empty Products post! And if I'm honest it has been 9 months to be exact, so you can only imagine how many products I managed to accumulate. Someone should have called TLC on me because I was just hoarding empty products underneath my bed for the purpose of recording a video. I swear saving your trash is only logical in the YouTube/blogging world, otherwise you'd be a complete weirdo. But if you're a fan of quick reviews, then I'm sure you're going to enjoy this latest empty products post. There's a lot of skincare, body care, sheet masks, and mascaras in this post.

Everyday Makeup Tutorial

I was getting requested to do a natural everyday look recently, so I decided to film another chatty tutorial walking you through what I normally do! On most days I just want to even out my skin, add a sheer wash of color on the lids, and then finish the look up with a bright lip. I didn't use a ton of product on my skin, but I did want to do a dark bold lip on this occasion. The lip color can be easily substituted for a nude lip or sheer gloss based on your preference. I also have to mention that this tutorial is a very quick one, if I wasn't filming this video I would be able to do everything in about 10 minutes which isn't too shabby.

The 'Me Time' Tag

The 'Me Time' tag is a tag video created by two of my favorite London-based bloggers, Estée of Essiebutton and Amelia of Amelia Liana. The tag revolves about everything and anything related to relaxing, which is something that I haven't done much of due to work. I have been getting tagged to do this video for the past few weeks so I filmed it during one of my now rare 'me time' days. Thank you to Jonathan Curtis, Bon Parisien, and Sandra for tagging me to film this video. Please make sure to check out their videos and subscribe to their channels! Now that we have all the background info out of the way, let's begin with the tag!

November 2014 Favorites

November was a crazy busy month for me, hence the inconsistent blog posts (sorry everyone). I was so busy with work that blogging and makeup kind of took the backseat. In November I embraced products that made my makeup application very quick and effortless. Despite not having as much time to myself, I still made some incredible discoveries such as the most lovely neutral palette from the drugstore. There's also a very unique handmade fragrance and a hair product that every girl needs in her life.

Makeup for Work

I've been extremely busy at work the past few weeks and I honestly haven't had much time to play around with makeup. Last week the place I work at opened their second location. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal but when you're talking about a small business a second location is a huge deal. I've been taking a lot more shifts and responsibilities which has in turn slowed down my blog and YouTube just a bit. Since I've been busy I decided to film a quick tutorial right before I left to work on Tuesday. This tutorial is great for any working woman, student, or busy mom.

October 2014 Favorites

I'm going to start off with this cliché but I really mean this. Where has this year gone? 2014 is almost over and we only have two more favorites videos until we start the cycle all over again in 2015. I honestly cannot believe how fast this year has gone by. This past month I got to try out several new products that I have not talked about much in videos. Once again I was in love with some makeup brushes that made my life a whole lot easier, and I'm continuing all this cream blush love on this blog. This favorites video includes a lot more high-end brands than usual, but like always there's some affordable drugstore items that I would like to recommend to all of you.

Sephora Haul

I've been going a little crazy at Sephora these past two months. Since I finally have a little money to spend I've been taking the opportunity to try some of the brands that I've been hearing so much about on YouTube and blogs. And it's also time for the holiday gift sets and let me tell you there are some amazing deals going on at the moment. Whether you're looking for gift ideas or want to see my very first luxury makeup purchases (yes, it happened!) just watch the video below. Also, I'm officially a Sephora VIB member again! Woohooo!

Falling In Love With Cream Blush

There was once a time that I really disliked cream blush. I thought that I couldn't make them work with my very oily skin, but things have changed a lot recently. I've transformed myself from a cream blush hater to a full-fledged cream blush addict! As the air is becoming dryer and my skin isn't as oily, I've been turning to cream blush to add a natural flush of color to my cheeks. What changed my mind about cream blush? The application. I really did not know how to apply cream blushes before I discovered this magical tool, and the best thing is that the tool is only $3. In this blog post you'll discover some cream blush tips and some product recommendations. You never know, you might become a bonafide cream blush lover just like myself! 

Color Scheme | Plum

My first color scheme blog post went so well that I decided to do another one for you. This time around I'm going to be focusing on the color for fall- plum. When it comes to fall trends, plum is a color that comes back in style time and time again. By now it is a color that is attached to the fall season and with good reason, it is universally flattering. Just like the fruit, the colors that fall under plum range from dark to a very warm purple hue. I will be showing you blush, lip colors, eyeshadows, eyeliner, and a nail polish in this blog post. And just like in the peach blog post there's going to be something for everyone's budget. Let's now take a bite out of fall's juiciest color.
