HeyyYy fabulous bloggers of the world!~ Welcome to me =)... I'm new at this and sooo excited to start... so let's dig right on in~!
That's me on the right!!! and my friend Tania on the left :) out on my 21st Birthdayy!
I figure I'll start with the good stuff... my daily routine.
Skin routine:
I use the Skyn Iceland 5-day Detox Kit... which lasts definitely longer than 5 days (more like a month). It comes with
- Glacial facial wash
- Arctic face mist
- Antidote Quenching Daily Lotion
- Oxygen Infusion Night Cream
Cost: $45 at Sephora
I have combination skin BUT I work the graveyard shift at least 3 times a week. 10pm-8am SOOOO needless to say my skin is STRESSED OUT most nights plus the life of a college student is oh so stressful ^_-. This stuff works wonders with my face... it just clicks. It's like getting 8-hours of sleep when most days I only get 4.
Toner: I use etude house's (http://www.etudehouse.com/) Aqua Sherbet Ice Toner. It's like ice in a can somehow. Don't know how they did it but it's Alaskan glacial water that when you spray out onto a cotton swab is FREEZING quite literally. Great for a hot day or to wake up your pores in the morning.
Eye cream: Stila Petal Infusions Cost: $8.40 at http://www.beautycrunch.com/
Nightly applied... just started using this so no big secrets to tell you. Haven't had any dark circles/bags lately but that could be because I've been sleeping for once lol.
Love love love this stuff. Was worried at first cause living in Miami ... tends to get quite humid and greasy (yuccckk) but this is the perfect lotion for me! It has a weird smell at first but it kind of reminded me of my mother when I was younger sooo actually quite comforting =). It has a souffle type texture but goes on like butter. You only need a tiny bit. Bonus points: SPF 20...!!! Need all the SPF I can get. I <3>
Makeup!!!
BareEscentuals Get Started Complexion in Medium Cost: $60 at http://www.sephora.com/
I believe this was the beginning of my mineral makeup obsession. I was a skeptic at first. How was I going to get the coverage I needed with a bunch of crushed up rocks on my face?!?!? Good question!!! Use and believe!! It's one of those faith things. People don't even tell me my makeup looks good anymore, they say my skin looks great because it gives you that glowing rosy look that Koreans are ALWAYS trying to attain. Without looking greasy. I don't use those brushes though because they tend to fall out... a lot and then I have random hairs all over my face which itch and are NOT cute!!! So instead I use my all-time favorite brush EVER:
Too Faced Retractable Kabuki Brush made of "Teddy Bear Hair Bristles" cost:$28.50 (whoooa is this on sale? I feel like I definitely paid $60 for this brush?) at Sephora.
The lady at Sephora who showed me this brush is a GENIUS and I would totally leave her something in my will if I could ever remember her name. This is the softest brush ever created and it's synthetic... crazy I know! If it's on sale get it now, maybe I'm delusional but that just means I feel like it's worth $60 bucks!!! Plus the casing is OOOOHHH SOOO ADORABLE... can't disagree with me there!!!
Amazing Concealer in Medium Beige Cost: $42 at Sephora.
The end all and be all (however that phrase goes) of concealers. Seriously, I will never use another concealer again. This is it. I mean it says amazing right there in the title why wouldn't you believe it?!?! The best for undereye dark circles, pimples, veins all that good stuff that we love. It's quite costly BUT a little goes a looooooong way. Seriously one wittle bittle dot and pimple go bye-bye. *-* Don't take my word for it, try it out! They even have mini like trial sizes now if you wanna try it out for a few months before getting the full size.

As for eyeshadows, I don't have an every-day look actually. I like to switch it up... daily. But I love Urban Decay, I also have Coastal Scent's 88 Shimmer Palette (http://www.coastalscents.com/) which I recently got and haven't even tried all the colors so I'll definitely do swatches later of all the ever loving colors. I <3>
I don't even have a favorite mascara actually, I <3 Sephora's Lash Stash II soon so I'll review those when I do get them. I got their first one a couple months ago and I <3 KISS mascara which paints your eyelashes. Kind of like falsies but without applying the false lashes.
Lipstick: I love dudes... I mean nudes... or nude dudes? :) Just bought MAC's Ungaro Freckletone and Lipglass. Looovee it. BUT my all time lover of a lipstick has to be Banila Co's (http://www.banilaco.co.kr/)
Inspired by Hyori Lee's U-Go-Girl (which I will do a tutorial on later??) Count on ittttt!!!!
