My Favorite Bag - Day 2 of 30

Hey guys! So this is day 2 of the 30 Day Challenge, and I'm so excited to show you guys my current favorite bag! I'm going to cheat a little here and show you two bags as I can't decide which one I like more!

I purchased this bag at River Island last August. What first caught my eye was the color. It's super corally and vibrant, and perfect for this time of the year.

I got this bag from a local store in Hong Kong. I absolutely adore this bag because as you can see, you can carry it in two different ways depending on the occasion. I prefer the longer strap for a more casual occasions and the shorter, prettier strap for semi-formal occasions. It can also be carried as a clutch! It's a long bad that slouches into half and can dress up a plain outfit. I've never seen anything like it, which makes it even better!

Hope you guys enjoyed this! Keep a lookout for day 3 of the 30 Day Challenge featuring my favorite make up brush!

Make Up Look #1

Hey guys! I know, I'm going crazy with the blogging today! This however, is one of the posts I have been looking forward to doing the most.

My experience with make up is pretty short lived. I started using make up only a few years ago, and I never really did anything other than applying eyeliner and mascara. I really got into eye shadows when I discovered make up gurus on Youtube. Those videos pretty much took over my life. I've tried doing a lot of looks only to fail miserably, but you know what they say; practice makes perfect. Here is something I decided to try today!

I tried to take the best pictures I could, but my 8.3 megapixel Cybershot can only do so much :( I need a new camera!

All of these pictures are taken in different settings to give you a good idea of how the make up looks. There's dark room with flash, lit room with flash and lit room without flash. Hopefully you can tell what I've tried out here.

Products used:

Blending brush - The Body Shop

I really wanted to use false lashes for this look but unfortunately didn't have any at hand :(

Hope you liked this look!

My Favorite Eyeliner - Day 1 of 30

Eyeliner is definitely a staple in my make up collection. Even if I don't have the time to apply anything else on my face, I have to apply black eyeliner, without fail. I've been using it for years now and am so used to it that I feel like I look washed out without it on.

Favorite pencil liner

Effet Smoky eyeliner in Intense Black - Bourjois

Favorite gel liner

Fluidline in Blacktrack - MAC

I'm not much of a colored liner user. I think this is because I haven't found one that actually shows up and looks vibrant when applied to the waterline. Any suggestions?

Lookout for my favorite bag tomorrow!
