FOTD: My Everyday Makeup Routine

Hey guys! So today I'll be writing about what I usually wear everyday. I really like to stick to this because its so easy for it to match with mostly everything. I feel its a bit to dark for spring but its been so cold lately and it still feels like winter time!


After moisturizing and all, I apply a light cover of the Revlon Nearly Naked foundation in the color "150 Nude". I love this foundation because its so lightweight and easy to wear on an everyday basis! As an oily skin person, this helps me keep my face nice and matte and just doesn't make me feel like I'm wearing a ton of makeup


Because its usually my everyday routine, I like to go for a subtle blush just to make me look more natural. I recently fell in love with Mac's Mineralized Blush's "Warm Soul". This is a brownish/pinkish color that has very light shimmers that can make the skin look healthy and glowing!


For the eyes, I mostly stick to this Mac Palette that I got for Christmas last year. It has 5 colors; 2 shimmery and 3 matte ones. For today's look, I used the second one to the left, which is called "Magical Mist" on the lids of the eyes and then on the crease I used "Smut" which is the bottom one of the two in one row. I really like the combination of these because it can just go with anything that is neutral or greyish color. For mascara I simply went for Maybelline "The Rocket Volume Express mascara. can easily be found in any drugstore.


Lastly for the lips i used another neutral color (you can probably tell I like keeping my makeup simple - there is just so much to do in the mornings!). I use Mac "Velvet Teddy" which is a really matte lipstick. Its a combination of brown and pink and looks really natural and really stays on for a while. If I'm in the mood to add shine I would use Rimmel's Stay Glossy clear lip gloss (as you can tell it turned literally the same color as the lipstick, I usually don't use it for anything else lol)

This makeup just looks natural and its so heavy. Keeps my skin very light and lets it breath more. Hope ya'll have a good night!

Spring Cleaning!

As many of you guys noticed Spring is here! Though it may not seem like it because of this cold weather, its officially here. When I think of Spring, the only thought that comes to mind is cleaning out my closet. I get rid of clothing that I don't use anymore, like they look really worn out, maybe pieces that don't fit anymore or even items that I barely use. Now I'm not just going to throw them out, rather I'm planning on donating them to the Salvation Army! It's a good way to do something good and can help others!

So today, I decided to wake up a bit earlier than usual and clean out my entire closet. I never realized how much clothing items I didn't used! its absolutely insane It took me about two hours to completely go trough my closet and fix it and reorganized it and literally clean it out. I managed to fill up one garbage bag composed of old jeans, dresses, shirts and so on.


I realized that this bag is all contains most of my old high school cloths. You know when you join a sport team or a academic/organization club of some sort, they end up giving you 50 billion (well more like 5) shirts a year; that's what mostly consisted off. I guess in a way, I was getting rid of my past to have a fresh start. Starting my first year of college, it help me find out more about myself and what I like and don't like. So I guess I'm kinda sort of letting go of my past to start the present!


(Heres my baby Bella! She was helping me out.. sort of lol!)
