     So after much contemplating and mistrials, I decided to let go of my perfectionist side and just upload a tutorial. I realize how choppy the video is, but I'll be sure to think of that next time I film. Anyways, this is a good look for those who jut want to look put together. It's very simple and quick, I guess it's just me trying to get used to doing this stuff. At the end of this post I'll have pictures that will be much more true to color compared to the video.

2011 Drugstore Favorites and Recommendations (in a Video)

     I got a request on this blog for me to do more reviews on drugstore items, so I figured I would start out with a overall look at my favorite drugstore items currently. I don't show you some categories, such as, blush, because I haven't tried anything from the drugstore in that category. However, the items I show you in this video are items I stand behind all the way.
     I'm still having a bunch of troubles with camera quality and focus and stuff, so much so I actually like my webcam better in some situations. I'll try a couple more times with 1080p instead of 720p, the problem is that it takes way too long to upload. I'll also try sitting further back. Thank you for putting up with all the trouble.

NARS Gilda Powder Blush Swatches + Quick Review

     Yayyy, I'm finally back with another post. (: Along with my love of peach, I have developed quite an affair with corals and orange because I find those colors interlace in many products. Today's post is on NARS Gilda Powder Blush. (:




     NARS Gilda is a matte coral with a bit of orange. The powder is really smooth and pigmented. When used incorrectly, I would not be surprised if someone had a hard time blending this blush. Honestly, I think this looks best on tanned skin. Being a bit darker than I prefer, I feel that this blush looks amazing on my new skin tone compared to when I wore this during my more pale days. During my pale days, I thought this blush looked like a sunburn leaning to the negative sides when applying this a bit more sheer. If I wanted to wear this when I was pale, I had to wear it more bold so that it was apparent that my blush was a blush and not a sunburn. I get nice lasting power from this blush, about 7-9 hours, before the blush slowly fades off.


OMG Valerie not wearing mascara or lip color?? The world is ending! Face swatch!
