It's seems like good timing to dish out some of my favourites I've been loving this time around, as April comes to an end. This time it's a bit more focused on beauty! I've been loving these products so far, and can't wait to share my thoughts with you!

Wind in our Sails

Inspiration: Playful Prints and Finds

As it is already almost the end of April and May is just around the corner, it means more sunshine and more warmer weather. I am excited for the attire that comes with it, and lately all I've been seeing are so much colour and many prints on clothing and accessories, it's all sorts of wonderful. I want it all! All those details are just so fun. Recently I have found a few gems I would like to share with you because I think of sunshine, smiles, and everything feel good. The epitome of what I want to wear during those months. You might have seen my inspiration post on Sunnies Studios and my sunglasses, so here are a few more that I've added that add more spring to my step. 

Beauty Favourites: Make Up Brushes

There have been previous posts on blushes, lipsticks, a make up routine, and eye shadows... Now what? Naturally, we need to talk about make up brushes. I feel like getting into make up brushes can be quite overwhelming. Which ones should you start with? What kind of brushes? Which brush is for what? How to use them? The list can go on, but no worries! I am here to try and break it down some of my favourite ones I use mostly every time. This is also here to break down my tips and thoughts as well! 

First things first, my first tip for those wanting to invest in make up brushes, is that quality is best. I have had my fair share of cheaper alternatives and they were fine but overtime, they fell flat and didn't perform as much as I hoped. Think of it this way, you're going to use them every day at most. They are for creating the best version you can be. Sure, the cost can add up, but it's so much more worth buying really great ones that can last you for a long while, as opposed to the real cheap options that end up being disposed. You'll end up wasting more money that way! 

Secondly, I only really use two brands that I seem to love and will definitely recommend.

So what are we waiting for?

Favourites: 6 YouTubers New on my Radar

As someone who continually keeps saying, "I need more inspiration!" and constantly looking for places to get out of a rut, the internet does that for me. With social media, platforms like Tumblr, Pinterest and YouTube? I usually can find a solution to solve that problem. I mean, this blog is surrounded with content about what I'm loving and what gets me going. And now, I found more! I had a blog post way back about Claire Marshall of Hey Claire and Jenn Im from Clothes Encounters, pretty much fangirling my way throughout saying why I love them and such a fan. They still remain to be my favourites, but over time, the subscription list have been growing.

I think it's so important to support and to encourage those around us, and I would like to show you some ladies I recently subscribed to, and hopefully you, or who ever gets the chance to read this, will go out and check them out.

I list down six of them and share a little blurb why. I even share which videos of theirs I loved so you can see for yourself if they're your cup of tea! I linked all their channels and credited their Instagrams (each photo with each link) and little bits and pieces there. So take a peak and see if you're following any one of them! 

Black & White

Inspiration: Sistar's I Swear

On Tumblr,  I occasionally reblog edits, gifs, and photos of anything related to kpop. I'm a fan and have my fair share of favourites I like. I even touched based on one of my posts featuring a style post, on one of my favourite members of the Korean girl group, SNSD/Girl's Generation, Sooyoung! I'll admit, I'm a bit more out of the loop than I was back in 2008, but I'm still much in love with the music, videos, dramas when I really love what I hear and see! If you want more of a dose of who I'm liking, you can follow me on Tumblr, but I would also like to share that interest on here as well from time to time. One thing I love about kpop are the music videos. There have been many that have caught my eye in the past and now, so what better way than to share them on here?

I was initially going to make a jumbo post on some of my favourites and share why, but then I realize that would be overwhelming given what I wanted to show! I was going to show screen caps for each video, but then I screen capped so many (it kind of took forever...) from this video....So, we're going to do a post for each video when I feel like it. Today? We're going to talk about this:

I Swear - SISTAR

It's like you and I were put together

If you lose the chance today, I know you'll regret it, I swear

Beauty Inspiration: What's on my Face

Welcome to what's on my face! For the most part. Days that I have nothing to do, no where to go, I literally stay bare-faced and that's that. But for those days where I need to make an bit of effort? And feel like it? Yeah, this is the master routine I stick to. It's my way to get ready more easily! Any way to make me get ready in the morning efficiently, I'm all for it. I'm actually quite lazy too (I really am despite all the make up!) so a routine is a must for me, that way I sit down, do it, and then I'm ready for my day.

A little disclaimer: This might be a lengthy post. You're warned! I feel like I needed to say why I use each product in enough detail because it wouldn't be part of my own routine if I didn't have a reason. Hopefully if you're in need of some new every day make up products, this can be a benefit for you! So, let's get started.
