Back With Tips and Tricks for makeup, beauty and fashion!

Hi everyone!

I am back... dun.. back again(like the Eminem song?)

ANYWAYS!

I really wanted to start doing something special with my blog posts. I wanted to keep my youtube channel connected with my blog, but I also thought that it would be great to post different tips and tricks for makeup, fashion, and overall beauty.

So first off I think that we should start with the basics and I found these tips online recently that helps a lot with foundation.

There is always a time that we will buy foundation that does not match our skin tone!

Well if you look at the picture below it says to match your foundation to your neck colour and not to your cheek! Why?
Well you want your face to match the rest of your body right?! well this is particularly helpful because your face tends to have different skin tons where as your neck matches the rest of your body. Thereby, matching your neck skin colour to a foundation it will show what colour of foundation best suits your body skin tone rather than just your face. This will defiantly result in not having a different coloured face from the rest of your body. 

Another helpful tip that I found quite intriguing was to use down ward strokes rather and upward when applying your liquid foundation. There is not much of a theory behind this tip but it just makes your face look better. *trust me I have tried this* Your foundation blends better using downward strokes on your face. In my theory I believe it is due to the fact that it blends much better into the creases in our face rather than upward which does the opposite.
Hey! if you don't believe me then try it at home and experiment see the difference it makes on your face and you decide!

Here are two helpful makeup tips that you can now use in your everyday life to make it that much better ;)

I hope you enjoyed thank you so much for reading this post and there will be much more to come!!

What I ate Wednesday!!

Alright let's cut to the chase!

Its Wednesday and its time to show some meals I ate throughout the week! 

So for my breakfast I started out with a wonderful pastry from a local Bakery which was delicious! It was a cossiant kind of pastry with apricots on the side and I feel like I could eat a million of them!

* does anyone find this looks like a birds face?*

For a snack all I had was fresh fruit, I had some yummy cut up watermelon with some cherries! 

For lunch I had some left overs from David and I's date night. It was a linguini pasta with pesto and it had yummy cherry tomatos with spinach! 

For Supper we had some really awesome fish fillets BUT they were meatless! They are made by the company call gardian and it is really good worth trying!! So with our fish David and I had couscous salad with peppers broccoli and carrots! We also had a cold shell pasta salad with peppers in it as well!

AND! last but not least! For dessert we had a milfeuille 

which in english I suppose its all a thousand papers. David and I got it from the bakery where we had our breakfast from and these are absolutely delicious! I kind of went away from the Vegan side because there was cream in it, but I was good while eating but after I felt really sick which I usually feel like after having any dairy products! but I guess I will learn eventually right?? And if your not vegan you should definitely try this then! Also, David and I had tea with it I had a regular tea with Almond Milk and David had a fruit passion tea!

Makeup Monday| Foundation Routine

I guess I am already falling behind on my blog post -.-!

I did not realize that I totally did not put up my fashion friday video! duh im kinda of an idiot I suppose!

but if you want to check out the lookbook of a summer out fit of the day just head over to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT1Wl0zh0DQ and check out the video!! :)

And I am losing my schedule of everything because I thought Yesterday was Monday but instead it was actually Tuesday, which I suppose you already know!, so I did not have a chance to write a blog post and did not get the video up until super late!

but I am doing it now so it counts right?!

Anyways today there will be two blog posts I suppose for my what I ate Wednesday and my Makeup Monday!

ALRIGHT! enough chit chat time to get started on Makeup Monday!

For this Monday I did my Foundation Routine, which I have recently switch from less of a drug store routine to more of a higher end. I decided to switch it up because I am having a really hard time trying to find a drugstore foundation that I truly am obsessed with! 

So, I went to Sephora a couple of weeks ago and asked the employee there to help match me with a foundation. She was extremely helpful and I really enjoyed her tips that she gave me. Unfortunately, I did not get her name but if you live in the Burlington Vermont area and go to the University Mall that is where I get the best service at Sephora!

So, the main questions she asked me was about my skin and if there were any problems that would help better match me with a foundation. However, it was fairly easy to match a makeup foundation to my face because I have close to normal skin. However, the best thing about Sephora they make sure to ask these questions so they can best match you to a foundation. So, I 100% recommend if you need to find a foundation check out Sephora because you get the help you need to match your skin tone well and one that suits you best! 

After talking to the employee for a bit she matched me with Urban Decay's Naked Basics Foundation in 3.0 which I could not believe how well it matched my skin tone! It is an amazing foundation because you can put on a basic coat and it fits well, buttt you can also build on the foundation if needed.

However, before she matched my colour I asked her for a really good primer because I usually use the Porfessional by Benefit and never really got the long lasting results that I had hoped for. So, she knew that I had close to normal skin so she matched me with the Smashbox Photo ready Primer!

Also what is amazing out Smashbox is that this company also offers several different Primers to suit your facial needs!!

ref ( http://www.letmeletyouknow.com/makeup/its-a-crime-not-to-prime-what-you-need-to-know-about-face-primers/ )

Also this primer is really awesome because a little goes a longgg way. The amount that I use is usually a dime to a nickels worth. It is also long lasting and works really well!!

Next, after adding the primer and Foundation I asked for a setting powder. So, she suggested that I use the Tarte setting powder. I is really great long lasting and I really really enjoy it.

Overall, I really appreciated the employee at Sephora for all her wonderful help and I am extremely happy with her help for opening up new products to me. 

You can check out the foundation routine video here! or on my youtube page!
