Easy, 5-Minute Hairstyle Tutorials & Beauty Fashion Tips- MakeupWearables

Happy almost Mother’s Day! 😀

For so many years now, you’ve been asking me to do more personal videos & blogs, so today, I thought I’d show you what’s in my bag! This is so OG YouTube, isn’t it? Haha

Before moving down to Texas (2 years ago) from NYC, I used to carry an enormous bag (because it had to fit my extra shoes, I know I was totally mental), but these days, I’m extremely minimal and only carry the necessity in a small bag (look below).

Above; I pulled everything out of my bag to show you whats in it- exactly;

I only carry 1 sunglasses, but these 2 are my favorites and I’ve had them for years, so I wanted to show them to you. I also carry a portable battery pack, but I couldn’t find it (of course), la~.

Let me see if I can list these in order from Left to Right.

First row: Breath Refreshener strips, oil blotting sheets (these Korean ones are cute because they packaged it like a compact), my TINY card wallet that I got an amazing deal on pre-loved, my LG phone (so many people DM me about how I should be using an iPhone hahaha, which always cracks me up, it’s just a phone…), a clear bag with a broken zipper to put everything in, so I don’t dirty my bag, and 2 earphones (in case my wireless runs out of battery)

Second row: Cleansing wipes, 2 sunglasses, tampon, pen, $3 lipliner, lip balm thingy, lip tint

Third Row: Tiny Face powder (I’ve had this for 3 years, disgusting I know), but I carry this because it has a high SP I think 55? *shrug* – 2 hair tie, some coin (from Korea), ear plugs (because I’m a light sleeper, and y’know just in case), necklace and my watch.

I discovered Simple skincare a few week’s ago, and I’ve been really happy with their cleaning products- facial wipes and micellar water.

If you’ve never tried them, they’re incredible for sensitive skin, which I have, since I have dry skin.

I, like many women with sensitive skin, get ridiculously weary about cleansers in general because it can really make our faces HURT, if we choose a harsh product.

Therefore, for all my friends with sensitive skin, I want to let you know that I’ve been using this line for a few weeks now, and my face has survived! Actually, I genuinely like it, a lot! It still won’t replace my oil cleansing method, BUT I do keep this next to my bed, in my car AND in my bag.

I carry wipes because we get INSANELY humid here in Texas, and I hate being sticky. I can use this on my face, on my Hub’ster’s face, my hands, feet, legs, etc with out feeling tight or worse, because y’know some wipes can make things even stickier. Ever use a wipe that made your face feel like there is a 1″ layer of silicone?! Well, this one is actually clean, your skin feels like – only skin. This is the main reason why I’m telling you guys about it.

My husband also loves that it doesn’t have a scent and OMG, so do I! Don’t you wish they would just get rid of scents from ALL skincare? This is one of my biggest pet peave about K-beauty products, and why I usually don’t use it!

I love these Simple wipes, def go check them out. It’s super moist too..I can’t recommend this enough to you, guys.

Hi you guys! Anyone else dealing with “after winter” dry skin? Not quite ready for shorts yet, right? Today, I’m going to show you what I use (actually, my mom & sis use these too), something we’ve always used. Our Holy Grail skin care products from Walgreens.

I don’t think I’ve ever told you that my family and I immigrated to the States when I was around 11, and how poor we really were. We were so poor that I went to school(middle-high) without having to pay for school lunch because we were on welfare. It was an embarrassing time for me, even now to admit it, but it taught me a lot about hard work, fighting for the things I want, being grateful for everything I have now, AND what’s good that’s affordable! haha…

And you know what guys, now that I am able to afford the better things in life, I STILL prefer these to the more high-end products. I might go off and “try” new things, but I always go right back to these when I get bored because they’re SO amazing- they’re timeless skincare goodies! I’m so happy I’m able to share these with you!

Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion. I remember the yellow bottle they used to come in, but I much prefer how they apply now because this new version will make your legs GLOW like a diamond.

I hated the scent back then (and my mom used to slap these all over my face before school ugh, so I had to smell it all day long -yuck), but my family always used it, because it was the best. But thank God almighty, this improved version is “unscented”, and they absorb into the skin a lot faster. Girl, back then you had to rub this in for 30 minutes before you could see your skin again, now it’s literally instant! Did you try this back then, remember?

Look below for what my legs look “after” applying this – and no fancy editing was done here – I only applied the lotion!

Vaseline Advance Repair – Healing Moisture Lotion is non-greasy but will make your legs have that “Glow within” look. I love it SO much because it’s incredibly affordable, and it makes my legs look so silky smooth!

For dry flaky skin for your face, I ALWAYS recommend switching to an oil cleansing method, as it’s more gentle for your skin.

I usually don’t use a face wipe, but I picked these –Simple micellar face wipes – to try out because everyone was raving about them, it’s actually Walgreens “Fan Favorites.” And since Walgreen is having a month-long sale on Simple, Pond’s and Vaseline Hand and Body Lotion, I thought I’d try it out. (Discount code at the bottom of this post)

I did like these wipes, but it’s not my holy grail product, so I’ll use these when I’m feeling lazy. Simple Micellar face wipes removed my makeup and kept my skin clean without that dry skin feeling. However, if you use Pond’s Cold Cream Cleanser (below), you won’t need anything extra, as it’ll remove-literally melt off all your makeup! Even the toughest waterproof makeup will be gone!

This is our holy grail product. I’ve been sending my mom “new” face oils to try throughout the years (because I am now able to buy her more expensive things), but she always go back to this lol. My mom and I love the fact that with Pond’s Cold Cream, you don’t need an extra lotion after using it, you don’t have to wash your face again with soap – All you need is this 1 product, because everything will come off!

You heard me right. You apply this all over your face… give yourself a 10sec face massage, then wipe it off. You won’t “need” a separate toner to remove this and that, a face cream because your skin feels tight. After using this product, your face will feel baby soft and your face will glow in the morning!

Also, this cream will not clog your pores or cause breakouts – we’ve used it for years and years. I highly recommend it!
