BLUSHING SUMMER GOLDS Urban Decay's Alice in Wonderland Palette

      HELLOOOOOoo~~~ long time no see! I've been avoiding putting this video up because of the voice-over section: VERY unhappy with it! The sound quality makes me so sad :(:(:( this was recorded soooo long ago!!!! ..sooo I think it's safe to say it's the end of my voice-over trials.

      I knowwwwww I've been using this palette for forever - but keep in mind, I am on a budget ... so let's just pretend that I own a lot of Urban Decay single shadows =) ...& speaking of a budget, I even bothered to RANSACK through my mom's old things and found an aaaaaancient Givenchy blush trio that was (surprisingly) perfect for my skin! I'm sure it doesn't exist anywhere anymore - apparently my dad bought it for their first anniversary or something.

      Recently, this has been my go-to look for work, as well as when I wear these contacts :) It's a greaat look for brown eyes - it really brings out the warmth & makes it look extra sparkly. I loove this for a quick summer look cuz it lets me look fresh while still having a complete and polished, work-appropriate face. QuickquickQUICK is my motto before work & this took VERY little time to finish.

(keep in mind that these pictures were taken in the nighttime after a full day of work w/o reapplying)

Everyday Face/"Natural" Glow

      Inga here! Our first official Face of the Day (FOTD) segment continued by the lovely Miss Ingrid :p



This is literally my go-to face.

      When I'm on my way to school, the boyfriend's house (sometimes; he usually prefers me au naturale), (ex)work, etc etc, the only time for me to actually get ready is on transit (bus, subway) ..so THIS. IS. IT!!!! ....though I totally don't advise you guys to do make-up on-the-go. Totally dangerous. If I wasn't so awesome, I could've poked my eye out (I'm almost always 87% there). Mind you, my travel time usually takes 45 mins to an hour since my school is downtown and my boyfriend lives in a different city, so I get a little bored and maybe a little overboard with this routine.
      Let me assure you - all those extra steps are going to be helpful. I know it might be a little too much for everyday use? ..but since I don't actually go OUT every single day, my face gets ample time to breathe. My face is acne prone and I have lots of redness/discoloration from scarring and ...I'm guessing just hormones?... so I'm definitely not perfect.
