My New Make-Up!

So like I said, I was going to start getting more mature with my life. Not like I'm going to change just be more mature and well together.
down below is my New Make up! I had taken from on my Instagram:

If you haven't follow me: follow me :)

I went to Ulta Beauty because I always been horrible at buying makeup: wrong skin tone color foundation, wrong type of make-up for my skin type ( I have a combination skin with a small bit of sensitivity), and/or products that I would like to have but later realize I have no idea how to use it.
At Ultra, I had help by this amazing employee, she helped me find the right skin tone foundation and the product she thinks is best for me especially for my busy life. Bonus: during the special the company had, if I bought anything $20 worth of Ulta brand, I get a Free with Purchase gift. Well after I got my three products picked out, I was still wanting more because I want more stuff, not knowing the GWP had everything I actually wanted.
only spent $35 (with tax), and I got three product: Ultra Stick foundation, Contour and Blush sculpting compact, and NYX concealer, as well the small 14-pc GWP makeup kit.
Here's the link to show what I got:

Celebrity look a like

 I didn't realize till I was listening to Lorde (Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O'Connor) who most hit song is Royals, that I looked like her.

I did a heat oil treatment to my hair yesterday evening cause it need some treatment for the damage and winter makes my hair dry. after the treatment I would let it air dry and let my natural wave/curls be. I normally don't like my hair like this since its humid here in Florida so its to much to keep control of my waves/curls. Unless I go to an event where my hair is curled by curler.

I like to define my eyebrows a bit during the fall and winter to give that seasonally look. plus its wont sweat off in the heat.

Im just wearing the usual:

 tinted moisturizer( depending on my skin or if I have something to do which today I have a meeting.)
upper lid waterline with the eyeliner pencil,

mascara upper lashes,

define my eyebrows (season),

and because I have to go to a meeting I add a hint of gold light shimmer and brown matte eye shadows.

 

"You Can Call me Queen Bee"

 

Good Day, Everyone! :) (Update)

Hello everyone, how is or was your day?

I'm know its been forever that I've posted any blog on here. Got so caught up with my stuff that I forgot I had a blog. lol

Anyways i just want to share an update about what I've been going through.

keys: *I'll blog more about this later.

1. Got a New Phone: I got it because my old one got mess up and I could only call/talk to people by having it on speaker. (its bothers me cause I can't have a convo with my mom while it echos throughout Walmart.) lol Its also my Belated 21st Birthday gift.
   with my new phone is now a smart phone so I could finally do Instagram, since I always end up wanting to take pictures but I would always forget my camera.
2. Got a new Handbag: I saved up some money for other things but I really wanted was a new Handbag. I'm not a huge handbag shopping fan, I'm more simple and that could have my stuff organized and mostly comfortable. It took me forever to find one that fits my style and I though to start small too since I just need it to carry my wallet, cell phone, and other small things I would need through out the day.
   I saw this really cute handbag for not bad price. Its a perfect bag to start for me and its cute and simple the way I like it. here is the handbag I got Key-Per mini crossbody with birds.
3. Been so caught up with school that I haven't had time to hangout with friends. at this point I starting to to realize who my friends are by how they treat me when we're not together. otherwise most of them are married, have kids, have kids with their with/out their partner, or their dating/engaged to their partner and not want to hang out with cause I'm single. *
4. My eat habit is starting slow but I've been eating healthy more lately. Just need to put time for gym/workout to burn fat. Oh and been drinking more like Fish on Land. lol *
5. Speaking of eating healthy I notice my complexion on my face is not so blemished and pimpled. although I still have them from stress so that's seems like an improvement in my book. Of course my main rule to self is wash my face every day and night, and/or in between like after gym, swim,beach, after school before hangout with friends, etc... *
6. My hair is getting longer with this new shampoo/conditioner I started using when it came out and I'm in love. however their was a "new" shampoo/conditioner that relounged since it was discontinued when I was little. I used to use it and Loved how it helped my Long Hair then BAM discontinued. now the relounged with and its without silicone and I thought it would be the same as before. Sad news is its not the same and made my hair feel dried and straw/hay like. So I'm going back to the shampoo/conditioner that I started using. *
7. Fashion well Still haven't been shopping which kinda sad for girls then again I'm saving money, trying to lose weight cause nothing is fitting, and well to be honest no time to shop and no one to go with. lol*
8. Pampering myself is my life sadly and omg I can't believe that I'm going to admit this but I haven't gotten a mani/pedi for a long time. I only done maybe three times on my own. still not the same when having it done from a salon. thou its has its pro and con. *
9. Another pampering I'm still working on is improving on my makeup skills (Now girls you know we have our way of doing make up "togo/comfort way of how we do to our self) However, I want to make it look more sophisticated and not like a 7th grade who is still learning about how to but makeup on. Also exploring what look suits me like the cat eye, red lips, bronzer, blush, etc...*
10. Last about Pampering is hair styling I know I mention about my hair in number 6 but this is about the styling and I'm trying to trying  more ways for my hair to look uhmm good. like I'm not expert with styling my hair I feel like its horrible and never looks good. Most girls have their signature style hair in other words their goto style/comfort style. *
11. From Fashion number 7, I still trying to figure my goto/comfort signature style of fashion. Like I'm really open to style just its nice when a girl has a signature style like STATEMENT item from a piece of jewelry, hair style, hair piece, shoes, etc... I want to make it where it says Me from how my mood, music, the kinda day.*
12. Last is Music I'm so beyond forgot where I stand in music I love music I listen to all kind of music. I used to sing and play instruments like piano, guitar, violin, and flute. Now I forgot how to read and play music, my voice is way beyond out of tune to sing ( I sound like "that karaoke singer" at least I'm honest) Thank God I have friends that knew where I stood in music and are willing to help me go back to knowledge of music. its back to music 101 yay.*
13. Omg forgot to mention one thing is I'm so pale since I've been out in the sun for like ever because of college. I normal light to soft tan growing up but since I let to college I've got so Pale that my Dr thought I was going through another anemic (iron deficiency) which caused me before go pale. so this summer even through I have classes I made time for BEACH/TANNING. yay!*
14. Trying to Save more Money for me to have for future upcoming. like concerts, going on road trip, a NEW CAR, etc... since I don't work yet cause I'm in college I get paid for being in school and with my disorder and personal challenge its still hard for me to balance work and school. cause if I lose focus with school I'll fail and failing is not my goal. *
15. As far for Love Life, still single and really would be nice to have a boyfriend since everyone is in the Love life Pool. but I'm in no hurry (not desperate) since I figure that with all the things I'm going through I lose focus even thou I kinda do when I talk to this guy. lol *

25 Facts About Me
