Inspirational Sunday

Today is your day! Take whatever doubt you have and throw it out the window! You can achieve and do anything you set your mind to! Day 1: inspirational quote

I haven't posted in a while, but I will catch you all up in another post about some of things that I accomplished this year. I am so thankful that it is winter break and I actually have time to relax and create some new content.

I chose this quote because I just finished a semester of my junior year of college and it was challenging. Challenging trying to manage everything even when I wanted to give up especially during the later part of the semester. I didn't give up and I kept on pushing through. Honestly, I love all the support that my family and friends give me. Don't ever feel like you can't reach a goal or accomplish a dream because hunny, you can. As I embark on challenges and achievements of 2017, I can definitely look back and say that I can do anything I put my mind to.

You can find happiness.

You can find love.

You can find joy.

You can find peace.

You can find hope.

You can do anything. And I know there are so many people out there who can try to motivate you, but you are your only motivator. When you believe you can, then things will fall into place.

I have to remind myself of this everyday, especially when trials and tribulations come in my life and I feel defeated. I can remember that the Lord place me on this earth for a purpose and I can rise above all.

Highlight and Contour

After I apply my full face foundation, I go underneath my eyes and draw a triangle with the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer (Cafe). Also with that concealer, I apply it to the middle of my forehead, down my nose, and a little on my chin.

I also apply the L.A Girl Pro Concealer (Dark Cocoa) on the hallows of my face, around my forehead, and down the side of my nose.

I blend everything out with my fake beauty blender. Then I go in and set my concealer with my Covergirl Translucent Powder (Translucent Tawny) and let that set for some time which is the "baking" process. I use an all over brush and swept the excess powder off from my "highlighted" areas.

Just to set what I already contoured, I use my Shea Moisture Illuminating Powder (Mandaly Dusk), to give my face some more dimension.

Not my own picture, but my overall process of highlight and contour as described above.

That is my overall baking and contouring method, and there are so many tutorials out there on YouTube if you need more of a visual.

Recent Beauty Purchases

One\\ L'Oreal True Match Powder (n8- Cappuccino)
I've purchased this before and I absolutely love it to set my foundation.

Two\\ Maybelline Fit Me Concealer (30- Cafe)
I've purchased this before, also and of course I love this because I feel like I talk about this product I do every time I do a makeup post.

Three\\ Airspun Loose Powder (Translucent)
I've heard so many positive comments about this powder on Youtube, so I finally picked it up. I mostly use this for baking underneath my eyes, the center of my forehead, and down the bridge of my nose. I'm not sure if I apply to much or leave it on for too long, but sometimes it has a white cast residue leftover.

Four\\ Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil Sample (6-Deep)
This was actually a free gift from Ulta, and this product is one of the many new brow products that is coming out from Benefit. I love how the pencil is shape having the teardrop tip which makes outlining and filling in your eyebrows just that simple.

Five\\Covergirl Ready, Set Gorgeous Foundation (320- Soft Sable)
I was in the need for some new foundation for the summer time, but I love how lightweight this foundation is on my face and it is a bit dewy so I often set it with powder which I need for these hot summer months.

Inspirational Sunday

40 Inspirational Quotes From Pinterest | StyleCaster:

Stay Positive. I absolutely had to do an Inspirational Sunday on this quote I found on Pinterest. All of these definitely go togetherbbecause if you keep dwelling in the negative aspects on life, how can you live a positive life? I know there are times where negative events happen to you, but don't let those negative things affect your mindset. Be around people who make you happy and therefore leads to positive vibes. If you are not around people who are making a positive influence on your life, what are they there for? Someone shouldn't be around you to make you feel bad or feel as though you don't belong. You have to start with yourself, and then vibe with positive people, so that you can have a life that you enjoy and a positive one. Positivity can make a major change in you life.

Inspirational Sunday

I hope you all had a wonderful time ringing in the New Years.!

Last year I said that 2015 will be my year, and I believe that 2015 WAS my year and I enjoyed every bit of it. If you didn't already see my last post about my 2015 year in review you can click here.

#Quote #Happy http://www.kidsdinge.com https://www.facebook.com/pages/kidsdingecom-Origineel-speelgoed-hebbedingen-voor-hippe-kids/160122710686387?sk=wall http://instagram.com/kidsdinge:

The beauty of having a new year is that you have the ability to make your own goals and dreams and no one can stop you. Even though it is so cliché nowadays, but the saying "new year, new me" is right. This is the chance that you can make whatever you want happen. Each day is a new start for you to be closer to your dreams. Just like anything, you have to work for what you want. I know I have a habit into getting in old habits and routine, but I will try to start new ways. I love that each line in the picture above start with the word "happy". Maybe to change something about yourself, you should first try to be happy. Leave what you didn't like in 2015, and start your own adventures and write your own book that you would love to read in 2016.

I have a Instagram, so be sure to follow me: @livinandstylin

Happy New Year.!

Simple Fall Makeup

I absolutely love fall and the nice weather that comes with it, but of course living in Georgia the weather is so unpredictable" one minute it's raining, then 60 degrees, and then all the way up to 76 degrees. Here is the makeup look I've been wearing a lot so far for fall. I feel like this makeup look is simple and easy, just because I do attend college, and have 8am classes, so this is not a full on glam look.
