August Favorites [Hits & Misses for Foundation/Skin and Color] + Video Details


August has just flown by, but my, has it been a month full of memories! I am looking forward to cooler weather in September and maybe a break from buying makeup. As much as I love makeup, keeping up with the collections for my blog becomes overwhelming sometimes. I have also been lax with working out, I've just been eating healthier (though I could eat even healthier to cut more fat).. so I need to head to the gym every day like I used to. M-F, no more excuses! Hope you guys have had a great month of August, too! Let's look forward to September together ;)

  1. how well does the shu uemura cleansing oil take off w/p mascara? also, as someone with short, straight stubborn asian lashes i highly recommend you try out the l'oreal 24hr power collagen w/p mascara (the brush is so similar to lancome hypnose and the formula is awesome), and also the maybelline colossal mascara w/p (makes your eyelashes look massive! the formula is so lengthening and thickening!

  4. I sampled Burberry Velvet Foundation, the jury is still out whether I like it or not. I know I like the original foundation because I have drier skin.
