Makeup Adventures

Scared for finals, but time to beast out and finish strong!!! 

Hello everybody! It’s kind of scary how fast time has been passing by. I can feel my youth slowly slipping away from me…haha just kidding :p but this month of April zoomed right by! And I definitely have some favorite items to share with you all from this month :D

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream in “light/medium”

I’ve been using this gem nonstop this entire month! You don’t get a whole lot of coverage, but this evens out your skin slightly and makes it glowy (there’s no shimmer in it). 

Stilla Travel Palette - Trendsetting in Tokyo - convertible lip and cheek color in “Sakura”

Here in this tiny palette lies one of my favorite blushes of all time! It’s a creamy, pigmented, hot pink blush that melts right into the skin and gives you a nice dewy flush! The left side is how it looked like when it was relatively new and the gross right side is how it looks now :p

I use a Real Techniques Stippling Brush to apply this blush on.

Maybelline Color Whisper lipstick in “Lust for Blush”

This is a beautiful creamy light pink color that is super wearable for every day. It gives nice pale mauvy pink lips without making you look washed out. The formula is light but there’s still color payoff!

H&M Thrifted Grey Cardigan

Found this sweet medium sized grey cardigan at Salvation Army a few months ago. It is perfectly oversized, warm and super comfy. 

Forever 21 Colored Skinny Jeans

I have been wanting a pair of light wash denim skinnies for the longest time (and have not been able to find any still), so when I found these light sky blue pants I decided that these were the next best thing to light wash. They are very comfortable and are super fun to wear because they are so bright! I like the ankle zipper detailing as well.

Hope you enjoyed this and that you all had a wonderful month! : )

I seriously love curry…or anything that can drown my rice with sauce :D 

Over spring break, I ate at a delicious Thai restaurant and had their pumpkin and chicken curry and it was so good! In my attempts to recreate the yummy dish, I came across this recipe from Williams-Sonoma.

I altered the recipe slightly and thought it tasted delicious! I used butternut squash instead of pumpkin (since it’s not in season) and I also added a ton of other vegetables (because I LOVE vegetables :D ). I also did not prepare the mixtures of curry base and coconut milk. I just added everything to a pot instead of mixing them separately before adding—easier, right? : ) 

Perfect to eat on a dreary and cold day like today :D ! Good luck!
