First Impressions: Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

Well isn't this is a change of pace~ Good morning! I've been meaning to purchase another primer for a while and I was contemplating on either Benefit's POREfessional or the Too Face Primed & Poreless. At $30 each I was hesitant, then again I'm always hesitant because things don't always work out (yes, I can return them but do I really want to drive 20 min away to the closest Sephora/Ulta to do that? Such a hassle and a waste of gas. ㅠㅠ). I have tested and tried both products out a handful of times in the past so I'm pretty familiar with their formulations. Still, I was very indecisive.

Maybe the makeup gods were listening in on my desperate plea, because I recently discovered Baby Skin from Maybelline! And by golly, I was curious and itching to own it. Knowing it'd probably be less than half the price of the high-end primers I initially wanted to get, it'd be the perfect stand-in while I try to decide on the other two.

{Tutorial} Peekablue! ㅋㅋ

HEY everybody! Hope you all had a great July 4th~! I'm sorry for not updating in a while..again! One of the reasons being the HEAT lately. It completely discouraged me to wear any makeup at all. Summer has just been torture. What's the point of wearing it if it's just going to MELT right off as soon as I leave the house? So yeah, I apologize society had to witness a disturbing display of BARE FACE for about a week or two. Haha.

Hope everyone is having an amazing week so far! Today's look is a lot more wearable with a simple eye, and lips with a hard-hitting POW. I know I told myself that this was the week I'd do a really elaborate look much like ANIMATE, but I've been feeling pretty down today and I just wasn't in the mood to go all out at all. With that, I haven't had much of a drive either, so I am pretty disappointed with myself. But I figured I'd do a blog post, maybe then I could keep my cool and hopefully distract myself from, "real life" and get away for short millisecond.

Ain't nothin' a tube of hotpink lipstick can't fix!

I say, "Random" because this isn't your average-everyday "Face of the Day" most are used to. I don't do looks everyday since I don't wear makeup everyday. Haha. So make this be one of the many posts for looks I feel inspired to do on any given day.

{Tutorial} Kpop Girl Group-inspired Makeup~!

The long-awaited tutorial is here! If you are obsessed with Kpop (Me! Me!), you've probably noticed that a number of Korean girl groups have pretty similar eye makeup commonly worn in almost every video; main focus on eyes, heavy to dramatic eyeliner (fishtail/winged to be specific), minimal eyeshadow and natural lips and cheeks. Now you too, can be just like Park Bom, Taeyeon, Son Gain, or Hara, and star in your own (imaginary) girl group with my own version of a really easy step-by-step Kpop Girl Group-inspired makeup tutorial! Warning: This WILL NOT help improve your dancing capabilities. You'll have to practice the "bow and arrow", "butt dance", and the "Abracadabra" in your own time. Think of this as a mere confidence booster. ;) So prepare for your finest selca poses, plump up that "aegyo fat" and let your inner Kpop star shine through~! 화이팅~!
