Makeup Trends From 2017 That Need to Go

Makeup Trends From 2017 That Need to Go

There are always trends of the years and every year some of them don't carry into the following year. A lot of these come from Instagram, which I'm sure they are more meant to be click bait or artist. But then all you see is everyone else starting to do it thinking that how you're supposed to do everything. Half of these things don't look good on anyone but if you enjoy any of these, don't feel the need to stop. But how do you honestly make it work, I don't understand.…

Instagram Made Me Buy It

Instagram Made Me Buy It

Now I've been loving watching these types of videos on YouTube and then after watching a Safiya Nygaard video of "I Bought the First 5 Things Instagram Recommended to Me," I decided to do this myself. Now I did limit myself to a grand total of $100 and I did reach this with tax, so I got 4 items in total based off the sponsored posts that I got.

Let’s Talk About… 100 Days of Makeup on Instagram

Let’s Talk About…  100 Days of Makeup on Instagram

Starting at the beginning of June, I am making it a goal of mine for 100 days to post something makeup related every single day. And since my theme on Instagram is having 3 similar posts in a row, I'm not sure if that means 3 images a day or I do 3 days of similar things. Like a makeup look 3 times then product close ups 3 times. Or a combination of both. I'm doing this challenge to further improve my photography skills as well as to get better overall with makeup. I'm planning on doing a lot of things I haven't tried before like body painting and advant garde. Normally I use references but I'm in the mood to create something original.…

Instagram: Pros and Cons of Having a Theme

Instagram: Pros and Cons of Having a Theme

I have recently re-fallen in love with Instagram when I introduced a theme to my account. Now I didn't remove all my old pictures as they are memories that I would like to keep. Instagram is a great way to share moments, memories, and updates. A lot of users just casually post as I used to while others use it for branding. Some people do these that are purely black and white, heavily focus on a single color like white, or have a uniform filter.…
