Sephora Haul + Updates


Here I'm wearing "Pillow Talk" on top of "Sex Machine"
Hi all! Last Friday, I stopped by Sephora to take advantage of the Beauty Insider 15% off discount. I was so excited, especially because I've been saving up on my first NARS purchase. Yayy!! I wanted to get more stuff, but with the sales tax up and being the college student that I am, I set a limit for myself.
Link to the video:

Besides my haul, I explained in my video that I'm going on a hiatus for a couple of weeks. I'm currently moving to a new place and I know a couple of midterms are coming up soon, so I'll be pretty busy. So I won't be making tutorials for a while till I get everything all settled. I'm planning to put all my makeup on my desk so I can actually do tutorials sitting on a chair (I usually sit on my bed by the window), but I have yet to get all that stuff organized. I'm also saving up on a lighted mirror, suggestions on where to get a cheap one? I hear Conair has some good ones.

Anywhoz, I'll probably update this blog a couple of times during my YT hiatus, in case I pick up some new makeup during that time. Till then,
xoxo

Makeup Tutorial: Smokey Peach and Blue

Here's a new tutorial! I haven't been doing practical looks lately so I came up with this. Believe it or not, I used Too Dolly from the Too Dolly palette from the Hello Kitty Collection. It seems like a pretty bright color, but you can definitely work it into a daytime look.

VIDEO GAME HEROINES Series: Yuna from Final Fantasy X

I know, I haven't updated this blog in forever. I've uploaded a couple of vids since my last post but I've been so lazy to blog. I've been doing a couple of contest entries on my youtube channel, but that's about it. I'm hoping to get inspired sometime soon because I've been drawing blanks with tutorials (other than the remaining request for the video game series). Anywhoz, here's my newest tutorial on the series, inspired by Yuna from Final Fantasy X and X-2.
