Daily Makeup Routine: Getting ready for work (Summer 2014)

For this tutorial I'll be showing you how I do my daily makeup routine that is suitable for school, work or an everyday simple look.  This is my usual routine I do when getting ready for work in the morning.

Before and After

Step 1

After I cleanse my face I like to pat on the "Innisfree Soybean Energy Essence"

Step 2

I apply a aloe vera gel from "Nature Republic" and a sun protecting lotion from "Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen Lotion"

Step 3

Now that the weather is warmer I like to use a light foundation, what I'm using is the "Holika Holika Aqua Petit BB Cream" mixing it with the "Makeup Forever Face & Body Liquid Makeup"  As you can tell both shades does not match my skin tone at all, one is too light and the other is too dark so when I mix them together I get my own perfect shade :)

Step 4

I just use a regular sponge wedge to apply them

Step 5
Next I apply a concealer on trouble areas and under my eye.  I'm using the "Revlon Age Defying with DNA Advantage Concealer"

Step 6

Apply a finishing powder, I'm using the "Makeup Forever HD Microfinish Powder"

Step 7
Apply any blush of your choice, I'm using this peachy pink blush from "BH Cosmetics in Daisy"

Step 8
Time for the eyes!  Apply an eyeshadow primer, I'm using the "Too Faced Shadow Insurance"

Step 9
For eyeshadow I'm using "Stila Eyeshadow trio in Bronze Glow"  I apply a light shade all over the lid, then a gold shade on the crease and a dark brown shade on the outer corner.

Step 10

Apply eyeliner, I'm using the "Makeup Forever Aqua Liner in Matte Black"

Step 11
To make my eyes pop and look more youthful I like to apply a shimmery gold eyeshadow from the "E.L.F Prism palette in Naked"

Step 12
Instead of applying eyeliner on the lower lid I use a matte taupe pencil liner by "Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner"

Step 13
Curl lashes and coat them with mascara, I'm using the "Majolica Majorca Lash Enamel Glamour Volume"

Finish Eye Makeup Look

Step 14
Fill in eyebrows, using "The Body Shop Brow & Liner Kit in 03"

Step 15

Finally apply some lippies, I'm using the "Etude House Cherry Tint in #3 Cherry Peach" and topped it off with a "Revlon Super Lustrous in Coral Reef"

Final Look
After changing my clothes :)

Collective Haul: Asian/Weatern brand skincare and Makup

Lots of items I purchase for the past 2 months

Sasa.com
I purchase 3 boxes of the FaceQ lifting line masks (Glacier Essence Moisturizing, Caviar x Hyaluronic Acid Firming and Ellagic Acid Brightening and Firming), these were on sale for 25% off and I also purchase the Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel which I'm really loving at the moment. 

Another Sasa purchase where my all time favorite De Herbs Hyaluronic Acid serum, they were doing a Buy One Get One Free sale and I also purchase two boxes of Genie in a Bottle serums which I read good reviews on them. 

Ebay
From Ebay I got a Skin Food Tea Tree emulsion, since I ran out of my Naruko Tea Tree Night Jelly and Serum and I wanted to try something new.  Along with it I purchase the Etude House AC Clinic Daily Gel Lotion to combat my acne for the upcoming warm season.  So far I tried the Skinfood Tea Tree Emulsion and it's doing well for me, except the glass packaging is making it really hard to get the product out.

Vitacost
I was running out of fish oil so I went to Vitacost to repurchase and I ended up buying more then I wanted xD
I got a huge size of the Dr. Bronners Rose Castile Soap, I absolutely love this liquid soap, I use it on everything from cleaning my makeup brushes to using it in the shower.  Just so happen the site was running a sale on the Thayers Witch Hazel toners so I purchase 3 different scents (Rose, peach and Aloe) and I also got pure Aloe Vera liquid and a Rosewater spray.

Sephora
I manage to snatch their Lash Stash which was on sale for $30, these are a great way to try department store brand mascaras without getting the full size. 

Ulta
I got a good deal on these skincare items at Ulta by using manufacturer coupons along with their $3.50 off coupon.  I had 2 Buy One Get One Free Simple and Biore coupon from the Sunday papers and 1 Ulta $3.50 off coupon and they happen to run a in-store Buy One Get One 50% off sale so my total for everything was less then $10! 

CVS
I was hunting down these Wet n' Wild eyeshadow palettes everywhere and I was excited to finally find them at the CVS near my sister's house.  I also purchase the new Maybelline concealer that I've been wanting to try. 

That's all for my haul!
