My Winter "Go To" Nails

I've really been enjoying this Maybelline Color Show nail polish! The color is in "keep up the flame". The best description I can think of is just a nice creamy tomato red. They also have a darker red available in this nail polish line. 

I enjoy this nail polish for a lot of reasons! One being that it's so affordable! There's a lot of cheap affordable nail polishes in drugstores, but I feel like a lot of them are going up in price. This nail polish was around 3 bucks. It took me 2 coats to get my nails to look like this. I just look the creamy consistency of this formula and it's super easy to apply!

New Video Posted on YouTube!

I really need to get into the habit of posting things on my blog. Anyone have ideas? I was thinking of posting maybe my nail of the day, or just random favorites that I don't really talk about on YouTube. Or maybe thing could just be a place where I talk about the random things that doesn't pertain to makeup or beauty products. I don't know, help me!!! Thank you for all of your support!

What's In My Summer Bag!

Rebecca Minkoff Bag Review (purchased in Nordstrom, I believe it was for $195)
I am IN LOVE with my new Rebecca Minkoff mini mac clutch bag. They come in a lot of colors but I like to stick with my trust neutral, so I bought it in brown. It has a nice gold hardware to it (if you don't like gold, not to worry, they come in silver hardware as well!). There's a small pocket in the front (which I don't use much only because it's difficult to remove the clasp from the buckle). 
The strap is quite lovely, but there are some downfalls to it. For me, the strap fits me well. However, I can see this being a bit difficult to wear if you are on the taller side in height. The strap isn't adjustable so it could be a short for some of you gals. But the strap is adjustable only to convert it from a cross body bag to a shoulder bag. 
Also, the main pocket FITS A LOT of things, more than I expected it to. I've been wearing it everyday and began to notice that the strap is a bit uncomfortable when wearing it as a cross body bag. I think it's because the hardware is just a thick chain so when it rubs against my shoulder it's a bit uncomfortable.
I love the detailing in the front, it makes the bag look very classy, yet casual. This pairs so nicely with any outfit possible! I also love the fringes attached to the zipper, BUT I wish they were a bit shorter. I just feel like they get in the way sometimes and they give me a scare when I accidentally sit on them and pull on my bag. 
The bag is quite shallow (not in a bad way) so it makes finding things easy. It holds a lot for it's size and the interior is cute (dark blue with black dots). I do wish that it had mini pockets inside though. It's nice for a bag to have smaller pocket for my to stuff my phone and chapstick in for quick access to it.  
Overall, I do love it, I feel like it's worth the investment. BUT REMEMBER, this bag is a hype so don't invest in it because everyone else is saying it's lovely. Definitely go into a Nordstrom and try it out yourself. And don't consider yourself to be an Alien if you realize that this bag doesn't tickle your fancy :]

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain Disappointment

I'm still a little unsure about these new Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stains. I didn't enjoy charm much but figured that it probably because it's one of the lightest shades in the collection. So I went out to get sweetheart and adore and they have great pigmentation! As far as the texture and formula of it goes, I'm not that hyped up about it. It has a minty smell to it which I'm not a big fan of. Also, they are moisturizing at first and throughout the day they turn out to dry and make my lips feel very uncomfortable. I do have dry lips to begin with, but overall, I wouldn't repurchase these.

Finally Making Progress

So....I'm finally getting that hang of uploading videos in a more consistent matter. I have been pretty M.I.A in the past months...even half a year I would say. But I want to thank everyone that has been watching my videos and reading my blogs ever since I started as well as those who just started following my blog and youtube. 
For spring break, I just took a short vacation here at home in Waikiki. I just stayed at a hotel, ate some yummy foods and went on the Atlantis Submarine tour, which was quite exciting. So that was that was mainly why I made the travel bag video. 
Updates? I've just been really busy with work and school and as soon as I get home, I've just been wanting to sleep or go out with my friends. 
I've been so into teas and coffee this semester. I've been drinking coffee or tea daily and a day at school without it is such a drag! But I've recently tried tazo tea and I don't know how I ever lived without it.

You could find some nutritional facts there if you are interested but I just love the taste so much. Plus, drinking coffee stains my teeth much more than tea so it's nice to stray away from it sometimes. 

That was pretty random but I'm drinking a cup right now so I just had to share it with you all. 

Thank you again for the support!

LACKING MOTIVATION!!!

There's so many things I want to do but I feel like time is flying by so quickly! I also have been wanting to do nothing but lay around the house and just relax, which is a plus only because I don't really shop anymore because of that.
I plan to make more YT videos and update my blog more but I have absolutely NO inspiration.
Any suggestions?
I really have zero ideas other than my monthly favorites and I feel like I can't do tutorials because I only use one technique when it comes to doing my eyes.
Thank you for all the support and for still watching my videos and checking back here every now and then.

Who else is lazy this break?! haha

Happy new years x3
