I apologize for the late responses!
Don’t forget I’m selling makeup on my blog! Message me for availability of items/an item :)
1. I like to both pat and swipe. I pat it in and then swipe, or just use a pat-swipe motion just so that everything looks blended and even. I rarely even use a face brush anymore; I use a large, flat, fluffy eye brush that I was given by my aunt from Sheer Cover and just pat on little powder at a time in areas needed (Go to my youtube and check out my last video to see the brush!). You can also just a face kabuki brush like the one from ELF’s studio line, or just any fluffy face brush. A stipple brush would be too messy.2. No, I bought mine from Ulta. Sometimes not all the blushes are sold in certain places. I originally wanted to buy Tipsy, but it wasn’t on display, and Peaceful was the closest color so I bought that instead lol. 3. If you’re willing to pay for shipping (which is at least $20 for international), then I wouldn’t mind it!4. Jordana Fabuliner from Walgreens is my all time favorite liquid pen liner - it’s only $1.99. Rimmel Scandal Eyes waterproof liner is my favorite pencil liner. Essence gel liner is my favorite gel liner :)

Questions time!

1) I’m still in the process of getting rid of them. I currently use my PMD (Personal Microderm - personalmicroderm.com) once a week w/ my Mario Badescu Special Glycolic Cleansing Lotion ONLY for my scars. I use other products as well for my daily skin care regime but that’s all I use directly for my scars. So far so good! It’s gonna take a while for them to fade a lot though..
2) Avon’s MagiX Face Perfector mattifies AND controls oil :)
3 & 4) Hmm.. well, what I like to do is use my Vitamin E Face Mist from The Body Shop. Not only does it help make my powder look less dry but it also helps keep it in place. I really suggest giving it a go :)
5) Nooope! I have way too many mascaras at the moment and don’t need any more.
6) Yes! Both make the same quality eyeshadows. Coastal Scents have a wide range of different products. BH Cosmetics is more of an eyeshadow palette brand.
7) Just the two browns from Maybelline’s Chai Latte quad :) The light brown in the crease and dark brown to deepen. Oh and on the inner corners I’m wearing theBalm’s Mary Lou-Manizer highlighter.
8) Whatever you’re comfortable in! As long as you won’t regret it ten years later.. haha. Go for something that will enhance your features such as your eye color, your skin tone, or even what you’re wearing :) 9) Makeup that makes you still look like yourself! Meaning nothing overdone. For flash photography I always like to contour and highlight so that my facial features stand out more. A good “my lips but better” lip color is a must, and a natural looking blush!
10) I don’t, but I can do that :) hopefully I remember haha
11) I set it with powder. It’s just a habit, I never do foundation without setting it no matter if it still stays put all day w/o it. I have oily skin so setting powder is a must.
12) Get whipped creme!! Seriously better than Colorstay.

Recent questions!
1) I hope you know that I know that, haha.  I in fact did answer your question. Look again, please :) I also state on my tumblr that I do not answer questions that are already answered in my LINKS. Please don’t be rude to me just because you weren’t being wise enough to look through my tumblr. Thank you.
2) I don’t live in that kind of climate, so I wouldn’t know how any of my mascaras do under that weather :/ But I do really like the CoverGirl LashBlast 24 hour and Almay One Coat Nourishing Mascara in Waterproof. I haven’t experienced any flaking or smudging with these.
3) You can try to set the eyeliner with eyeshadow on your lash line, that helps somewhat. Doesn’t hurt to try though. Also, try to wipe your waterline with a cotton swab just to soak up any excess moisture before you apply eyeliner :)
4) I haven’t tried my Maybelline one yet just because I still use my other ones. But from what I’ve heard, they’re very comparable.
5) I wasn’t aware of their new makeup! :o I do love Lush though!

Recent questions! 

1)Essence of Beauty brushes and the CVS brand alcohol-free toner is really nice :) I haven’t really looked around CVS the one time I was there haha.


2)If anything, wear makeup that will make you look like just a more enhanced version of yourself. Accentuate your eye shape with eyeliner, maybe some shimmer on the center of your lid/inner cornerse and a brown in your crease/outer v, a blush that would brighten and freshen up your complexion, and a nice “my lips but better” lip color :)


3)Was this for the sale on Hautelook? If so I apologize for not answering on time! Frat Boy would flatter you more because it’s deeper and warmer.


4)Pen eyeliner with a firm marker tip is easiest. If it’s a flimsy tip it makes it harder to draw a wing at the end. If you’re not into winged liner I also suggest a felt tip pen. I recommend trying Jordana’s FabuLiner or L’Oreal’s Lineur Intense!


5)Everything is in the info box of the video. I also have a “My Foundation, Concealer, & Powder Shades” page on this tumblr for a complete list of my shades.


6)Concealer for under the eyes or blemishes? For under eyes I recommend Trying Maybelline’s Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser and for blemishes Revlon’s PhotoReady.


7)Wet N Wild’s Creme Eyeliner is crazy amazing and CHEAP. That’s all I need to say!

Q:How do I make puffy and undereye (medium) circles go away instead of just hiding it? I'm not a make up kind of girl, but I work so much and you can see it when I look down :\

Wash your face with cold water! And drink lots of it and lessen your sodium intake.
