I Made a Youtube!


Hey everyone!

I know what you're thinking, two posts in one day? That's what happens when you have a break from school! Anyway, I just wanted to stop by and let you all know that I made a YouTube account where I plan on doing a lot of nursing videos. It's really just going to be a lot easier for me this way because making a video is going to be a better way to connect. I'll post the video below! I hope you guys enjoy it and let me know any videos about being a nursing student that you would like me to post. Again, this is my first video and I shot it with my Mac so it's not exactly the best, but I promise my next video will be better! :) Enjoy!

Two Eyeshadow Look Using Drugstore Products!

Hello everyone!

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! I will have a Christmas post following this one. But first, I wanted to share an awesome two-eyeshadow-combo that I love! It includes the Maybelline Bad to the Bronze eyeshadow and L'oreal's Amber Rush eyeshadow! Saw a look similar to this on Missglamorazzi's channel but her's included Stila's Kitten which I don't have. But even with just two shadows this is a great look!

Enjoy!

Makeup for School

Hello! Let me just saying that nursing school has taken over a lot of my time. Since I live kind of a distance away from my school I have to leave my house pretty early in order to get to class on time. Which means less less sleep for me. I've done a lot in order to gain as much sleep as possible as I can, putting my stuff I need for the next day in order, getting stuff for breakfast ready (since it's the only real meal I'll have other than LATE dinner when I get home) so that it takes less time to make, and even shortening my time in front of the mirror down to 15 minutes (including washing my face and brushing my teeth). If you've seen my past blog posts I have made a few blog post on doing makeup in a short amount of time, but back then I actually had more time than I thought I did and usually reserved those looks for days I just wanted to relax. Now, the makeup I'm getting ready to post right now has been my go to everyday look for literally EVERYDAY! Even when I have time... I think I've just been getting use to wearing less since being in the actual nursing portion of school. It's crazy what nursing school can do. I've actually even sorted out my makeup to the essentials that I use to make getting ready even easier. Hope you guys enjoy! ^-^

BEFORE:
 























AFTER:
Doesn't my face look so much brighter and healthier? 





Moisturizing your eyes are really important. In fact, just moiturizing your entire face is really important! 
































I like BB Cream better because it's easy to blend and I don't have to use a blush. BB cream is also great as an all in one product! 
































The Laura Mercier eye canvas is probably the best base I've tried in a while!



 























The Essence eyshadow in Cappuccino, please! is a great eyshadow for highlighting under your brown and putting on the lids. 























 Because I use this product as a bronzer, I usually double this up as an eyeshadow for my crease because it's one less product to get out. However, I won't recommend someone to use a bronzer as an eyeshadow, this is just what I do. 



























If you ever get mascara on your lids, don't fret, just continue with the rest of your makeup and go back and clean it up with a Q-tip later after the mascara has dried! It's one of my favorite beauty tips! 






































And Voila! All done! Takes only about 10 minutes at the most and makes you look awake even if you've only had 3 hours of sleep!
