Ask me anything, but try to keep it appropriate. :)

      Yes, we were going through an adoption process. However, because of my husband's very hectic sea schedule and because he was transferred out of state, adoption became something unfeasible for us right now.

      My favorite concealer for covering up redness on my face is Benefit's Boi-ing. It's creamy and easy to blend and nicely pigmented.

      The best way I've found to remove glitter eye makeup is to thoroughly wash my face with my face wash and water. If that doesn't work, I usually try a gentle wash cloth and that usually gets it all.

      I get this question a lot. *lol* I've never wanted to do tutorials and I still don't because I don't feel there's anything new I can offer the beauty community on YouTube. I started out doing reviews and that's what I'll always do. :)

      I have a lot of favorite spots, one of which is Pike Place Market, as well as SAM (Seattle Art Museum) and a handful of various shops and restaurants.

      Hands down it's a Venti Iced Green Tea w/Vanilla from Starbucks. Delicious and so refreshing!

      It sounds like you have combination-type skin so it would be best to find a foundation and/or concealer that works well for your type of skin. I know Revlon's ColorStay comes in a combination/oily skin formula that might work well. Beyond that, I can't suggest much else as I have dry skin so it's tough to know what to recommend for those with other skin types.

      No, I haven't but thanks for sharing it with me. It looks amazing! I wouldn't mind having a Carmex jar that looks like a piece of art. :)

      I suppose what I would suggest would greatly depend on what kind of scents you like. Sweet? Powdery? Floral? Musk? I think a couple of good scents for any young lady your age would be something light and not too strong in any direction, be it too sweet, too floral, etc. I like the Jessica Simpson scents; they're all quite different from each other, a scent for anyone's preference and they're very wearable for teens and their prices are too high.

      I have had a little bit of an issue with the shimmery Urban Decay Primer Potions, more specifically Greed, but never full-on creasing. You may be using too much of it or maybe something about the version you're using doesn't work well with your skin. If you're looking for another good colored primer, I would suggest Too Faced Shadow Insurance in Candlelight. It's quite lovely and works as well as their original and the original Urban Decay Primer Potion. You can also try using the original UDPP and a colored cream eye shadow if you want some extra oomph added to your eye shadows.

      I am planning to post a video about my makeup organization sometime very soon and hopefully that will give you some ideas.

      This is a toughie. Hrm... If I had to pick just ONE, it would be, since you have dry skin, a really good tinted moisturizer. It's the product I use every single day to even out my skin and keep it moisturized.

    16. Irene

      Well this depends on what products you're most interested in trying and what you think you need. I can try to help but I would suggest you message me on YouTube so we can better communicate.

      Oh WOW-thank you so much! As for brushes for a beginner, I would never suggest spending a lot of money on high-end brand brushes. Sonia Kashuk makes fantastic brushes which can be found at Target stores and Target.com. As for specific brushes, I think it's best to find a brush that can be used for more than one thing; like an angled face brush which can be used for contouring, blush and even foundation. I think it really depends on what products you use most and I would then suggest buying brushes accordingly.

      I have two tattoos; a butterfly with purple and yellow wings on a vine on the outside of my lower left ankle/calf and a blue faerie (inspired by the photography of Suza Scalora) on the back of my neck.

      I have tried them, although I don't currently own any. They are quite fantastic, even the packaging is amazing. However, I haven't quite been able to find a color I love enough to justify their hefty price tag.

      In my experience, drugstore brand tinted moisturizers are very sheer. However, I would suggest trying Garnier's BB Cream. Although not exactly the definition of a "bb cream", it has heavier coverage than your garden variety drugstore brand tinted moisturizer, but isn't as heavy as a foundation.
