Simple Simple.

Hello loves! So because of this acne product that I've been using (review to come!), my face has been super dry in addition to the horrible winter dryness, I haven't been wearing make up at all. The drying has gotten really bad to the point where the skin around my eyes are flaking too. I tried to control the flaking so nothing has been on my face lately except lotion and DEFINETLY not the acne product. The past few days have been better, I've been layering up on moisturizer with the few samples that I have because the one that I normally used would suddenly start peeling off my face and make me look like I have eczema on my face. Now that my skin slowly getting better I started putting on a little bit of eye make up because I get out of the gym too late to take the time to do my make up so it must be super light and simple. So it all comes down to the ESSENTIALS.
  1. Eyeliner: For me I found that a pencil liner is the quickest and simplest to use although I know the lasting factor is a down side. But I've been using Urban Decay's Liner in Zero and Bourbon and even though they don't last as long as I'd hope to they smudge a little bit, giving me a slight smokey eyed look.
  2. Mascara: LOTS AND LOTS OF MASCARA! I love mascara because you can wear it alone and it'll make your eyes pop so much so Mascara is an essential for me because it's so quick to use. My favorite at the moment are the Loreal Extra Collagen mascara and a Rimmel one, the one with the 3 balls (can't remember the name at the moment)
  3. Eyebrow Powder: I need this desperatly......that's all I have to say. The one that I'm using now, the application is meh, not as quick as I hoped it to be but what can I say? I need it despite how long it takes me to put on some eyebrows :(
That's pretty much all. No primer even though my eyelids are super oily, no foundation so my skin can breath and NOT flake off, no colorful eyeshadow, no time :(


This is the simple eyeliner look that I wore today. It's super duper simple. What I pretty much did was gently tight line my upper lash line to make my eyelashes look more fuller and define my eyes, then I lightly smudged the liner at the outer corner of my eye with the same pencil, but in slight dabbing motions and using that same motion I bring it half way into the lower lash line. Then just lots of mascara :)

Super simple but you can tell my eyes are more defined right? :)

What do you do for your simple looks?

What to do with False Lashes that are too long?

Hello all! So I've come across a dilemma with my false lashes. The most recent ones that I purchased from iheartredcherry.com were super long, both the length of the lash hairs AND the length of the false eyelashes themselves. So I didn't know what to do with them. If I cut the eyelashes themselves then the hairs would be too long. But it's also too much effort to cut them both because knowing me I ALWAYS mess up somehow.

BUT I've recently discovered a method to put these way too big lashes to use. I've heard of cutting them in half but I never really understood the concept. I figured they would look too obvious because I lack eyelash hairs and sticking only HALF a strip of false eyelashes on my eye would make it so obvious. But with the ones that I bought (the #217 lashes), it works because the false eyelashes themselves are pretty natural looking but there's obvious volume. It's very natural looking minus the super obvious lengthening.

So basically the point of this entry was, if your false eyelashes are too long, cut them in half and use them on your outer corners. Haha sorry. Went off on a tangent.

Putting them on your outer corner ensures gradual volume and length as opposed to the whole strip. Not to mention 1 pair of falsies I can use twice as long ;D
Here's an example my lashes with and without the half falsies


Left eyes are with the half falsies, right eyes are without.

Both eyes with half falsies


***A little tip for falsie application: Everyone that I've seen always applies mascara to their lashes AFTER they place their falsies on. But I personally apply my mascara on BEFORE falsie application because I feel that it blends my lashes into my falsies without ruining the falsies :)
And to save time, I apply mascara while I'm waiting for the glue on my falsies to get tacky.

Anyways I hope this entry helped anyone that was in the same dilemma as me. :)
