My love for makeup


It's never been easier to document visually anything than now.  Mobile devices makes the process faster, easier, and "sharable." I'm happy +Google+  has made it easier than ever to have all your photos from years ago in one place, at least if you have Android. As today is a new year, looking back at photos of years ago remind us of what we loved and what we aspired to be.

Below are a compilation of pictures of my "journey" to practice makeup, not only to look and feel better, but it gives me a chance to be creative. Learning makeup brings out the artistic qualities in me and indeed, it can be a great distraction during stressful times.

 My interpretation from Black Swan (the movie)

Yup, I even started a YoutTube channel!


I only knew how to apply 2 colors, over and over every day, on every single look.

I experimented with different mascaras for us girls who have no lashes. (Limpy, thin, lashes that don't curl= waterproof mascara!)


Matt lips are my favorite! I love beautiful colors on the eyes.

Eye liner is quiet tricky. Clear skin is the greatest foundation!

Tyra Banks said add a tiny bit of sparkles near the tear ducts to make your eyes look more wide awake! I listened!

Ah, bronzers and highlighters!

The days of the super thin eye brows...

Nails were painted on using a creamy eye shadow color. Inspiration from photo below.



Learning to contour the nose

Bruins for life!


Arranging and breaking down all lipsticks...



Festive for the holidays!

Trying to create tutorials for myself. I can never repeat the same look twice :(

Matte lipsticks can be too matte!

Beyoumakeupshop came about!





Inspirations to one day be great at makeup!



Punched in the eye! ;)



I love my short hair!

Love neutrals!


Inspired by Swan Lake musicals


That's me!

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner   in  Blackest Black  is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such.  Would I repurchase this product again?  Yes, I really want to   eggplant .  In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading).  I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time.    I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had ...

Create a relationship that encourages openness

Is it easier to be consumed in the life I want to live and and not pay attention to the life I have, especially to those who are most close to me. The balance between the external and internal worlds we balance and manage on a daily basis can overshadow how life moves swiftly and quickly through the lives of our loved ones. If I could go back a few years ago or 10 years ago, I would wish I'd take more time to be myself and to build a relationship of openness and encouragement. It's crazy how we can share our deepest fears and our entire worlds with friends, yet, within our own family, we are so afraid to share those secrets. Share your secrets and fears with your family, regardless of the situation, they will be there for you.

It's been x days of running

This was me roughly 3 weeks ago when I first embarked on my journey to run everyday for 100 days. Before this project, it was difficult for me to complete a 1 mile run or jog, without huffing and puffing, but after 3 weeks, I can make it to 1 mile without wanting to give up. I used to be quite jealous of people who sweat a lot at the gym because I did not have the perseverance to run to the point where I would sweat, I just gave up too easily. People say if you fully commit yourself to something for 100 days, you'll blown yourself away, you might even be really good at it. To be honest, I have not run everyday since I have started, but I have done the best I can within the last 3 weeks. I should be up to 5 miles/run now, but this is the breaking point. I've jogged up to 4 miles (with a walking break after every mile), but my mentality hasn't been there recently. I run at our local community center and I would watch The Big Bang Theory  or Modern Family  as...
