Beauty Tuesday - Daily Makeup Routine

I don't think I have done a makeup post in a while, so today I will show you guys what I wear on my face everyday! I first start off by taking a shower, but if not I use my Say Yes to Carrots face wipes.

 

 Next I make sure my hands are clean and then I use my Hello Oxygen Wow foundation by Benefit in "I'm pure for sure" Ivory. I apply that all over my face with one pump.

I then go in with my Maybelline Dream Lumi concealer and the Urban Decay Primer Potion on my lids.

 

 

After applying all of my bases, I go back over my face with Rimmel's Stay Matte pressed powder in Transparent. I really see a difference when using this powder compared to others because my face does not look or feel oily on my temples like when I use another powder.

 

Occasionally I will use blush and I use NYX's PB25 Pinched. This is the first blush I have really used and it gives such a nice pink glow that looks great on my pale complexion.

For Eye shadow, I use the Naked Basics pallet by Urban Decay. 

I start with the third lightest eyeshadow and sweep that across my entire lid. Then I use the other side of my brush to use the fourth shade in my crease. Sometimes I will use the lightest shade in this pallet or my NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk for my inner corner.

 

I also will occasionally use eyeliner, so when I do, I use NYX's felt tip liner in Extreme Black. You definitely need an eye primer before using this though or else it will come right off your eyelids! Also, I noticed when I take my makeup off at night, it comes off as a bluish color which I found was odd.

Finally the mascara! I got this mini sample in a Birch Box and I LOVE it! It's Eyeko London's Black Magic mascara. It does not clump and goes on perfectly!! I also curl my lashes before applying :)

Lastly, I always use a lip balm for the final step. Currently I am using the Summer Fruit by EOS lip balm.

Here is my makeup bag! I do have a lot more unmentioned items that I don't use on a daily basis. I also have 5 other makeup bags (oops!) haha. I am using a clear plastic bag I got from Pink by Victoria Secret that I got a pair of flip flops in. Yes, I did  wash it before using it!

Have a great Tuesday!

Menswear Monday: Bespoke

So if I haven't already said this, I am in University studying Fashion Design and I am able to participate in my department's annual fashion show (finally!). It's this Friday and I am so excited for it!! So anyway I'm obviously thinking about my collection for next year and as the title might suggest, I want need to do menswear.. for women. In short, tailored jackets and pant suits for women.

I have always wanted to do some kind of work with women's suits but no the old boring ones that business people wear on a daily basis. I want celebrities to wear my suits to events because they will be high fashion. My favorite pantsuit ever is definitely Yves Saint Laurent's famous suit from the 1970's. You might have seen this photo before if you are interested in fashion, it is my absolute favorite. I practically drool every time I look at it. It's just perfect even the name, "Le Smoking".

I don't even wear suits but I'm still obsessed. When I'm a famous fashion designer I'm definitely going to be wearing these sexy suits to an event. Sometimes I like them more than the gowns on the runways, award shows or events. There's just something about them I love, it's indescribable if you can't tell ha ha.

 

I found both picture on Pinterest and I also pinned more that I found and loved! You can find the link to the board here :)

My Week In Pictures 3.23-3.29

School these past few weeks has been so hectic! Exams, homework and this fashion show in two weeks have taken up so much of my time. I'm actually doing some last minute homework now. I'm so glad my first class is cancelled tomorrow morning so I can catch up on either homework or sleep!

3.18 - So for the fashion show I am doing swim wear and these are the first pairs of bottoms I've ever made! It was foolish of me not to do a test run of them first, but my sewing machine only works correctly on occasion so I had to work with that! They came out great though, if I do say so myself ;) And yes, I know these were not made from last week but I didn't take another picture since a few weeks ago.

3.26 - I also made some chain body jewelry for the show. It's my first show so I'm trying to keep it simple since I have no idea how to style the accessories, makeup, hair, even the shoes! Those are being a pain because my models do not answer me until the day before, but hey at least I'm getting a response right?

3.27 - I basically live at JoAnn's Fabric store. I went there probably 20 times in the past two weeks to buy fabric and I didn't even use half of it! I'm glad though because they return fabric if you don't cut it! I have a bunch of pink spandex and some white fabric I didn't use. I'm proud of myself for only wasting one thing of fabric this time! I was trying to make a coverup and completely messed it up but all the black, nude and pink fabric for the bathing suits was used up completely. I've never been so proud of myself for not wasting my money haha. And the floral print fabric in my basket next to my feet is currently being made into pants that I'm going to wear to the show next Friday! Stay tuned!

Have a great week everyone! 

P.S. Try to stay on top of your work/school work haha
