      I know how that feels! Well lucky for me it got a lot better as I got older. It was hell when I was in primary school and it slowly went away in secondary school. I've learnt that abstaining from seafood definitely helps so it's a good thing I'm not too huge a fan of prawns and crabs but keeping my shellfish intake is quite a challenge. On top of that always moisturize your skin, always! Once your skin is dry it has a tendency to itch. Also, it's good to have aloe vera on hand to sooth a mild rash and also a stronger eczema cream for the more resistant ones. I find that using balm moisturizers (like Elizabeth Arden's 8 hour cream) works well for rash spots.

      All in all it's a lot of being careful not too take too much seafood, drinking water and moisturizing! Eczema wouldn't go away forever but keeping it to minimal and small break outs will have to do. I'm still battling some here and there and am not free from them :(

      I hope I do too! I'm starting to talk myself a little nowadays but realized I'm losing that video touch! Think stammering and going into blank spots while talking. Hope I can get that back along with time to do some videos!

      Yes I still have it but it's a lot better now. Sadly eczema isn't something that goes away, the only thing to do is keep it under control.

      It depends and I tend to touch up mainly when I have a reason to, like parties, festive events etc. Generally I'd say about 4-5 months between each session which isn't very regular but good enough for me.

      Thanks for saying that! Well, the main culprit for my breakouts then would be teenage hormones and glad to say that my skin has settled down a lot more now. I still go through the occasional but in terms of skincare routines I've actually made it a little more complicated over time. I will definitely be doing an entry about this routine that I'm using right now but generally I would say to adjust your routine from time to time to suit your skin's needs. Most importantly always be sure to cleanse off all makeup and impurities!

      Got a few questions about this so I'll first address saying I definitely do not recommend a self tattoo method because it's not hygienic or really safe if you use bad equipment. I did this when I was younger using everyday things and thinking back with my eczema, things could have gotten bad so I'm just glad nothing bad happened and like I said I don't recommend it so I really wouldn't go around explaining how I did it :)

      Aww thank you for still thinking of my videos and watching them. I'm nor giving up on making them and might just do so when I get time in future, who knows ;)

      It honestly depends but like everyone says, do bargain! I noticed the trend now is to give a lower price if purchasing in bulk so it helps if you're going with friends to get things together.

      Hmm I don't know actually but I don't have a whole ton. My wardrobe is in need of some siting cleaning but I'm generally not a huge clothes shopper (clothes shopping abroad doesn't count!) so the amount is manageable!

      Hmm, I would say to just live life!

      Do what you want to do and while sometimes it's good to analyze what you are doing and the options, there's no harm in taking a leap of faith and see where that takes you! I think life is too short to be in constant doubts and hesitations so live it to the fullest and if anything were to happen you wouldn't have any regrets. That would be my general take on life!

      Say of you're going for a subtle natural look you could go with for a winged liner or even skip liner and just do mascara with a fairly neutral toned cheeks, like a soft red blush for that flush but nothing too strong. The key is keeping the rest of the face 'clean' so the red lipstick doesn't look too much.

      I have a Wacom but I rarely use it these days as im mainly vectoring now. I use mostly adobe programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator for drawing and editing purposes.

      Hello! You can use these brushes to help pat on colors to your lids as they would pick up a dense amount of eyeshadow.

      I wouldn't be able to give a full accurate description but to my knowledge it's a Multi-purpose cosmetic plus skincare item. It's said to contain skin benefits like brightening and also wrinkle-filling, it really depends on what the bb cream claims. Makeup-wise it's a base and foundation in one though many tend to be of lighter coverage. Hope this helps!

      Well it's basically getting used to 'maneuvering' the strands of hair around. I found it extremely difficult at the start but honestly with practice you'll get the hang of it in no time! Also helps if you don't have very short layers to deal with.
