Makeup of the Day: Southern Belle

I’m sure all of you Lovelies are getting tired of my skincare and makeup-less face, so how about a little makeup? ;).

Well, I am going to sneak a little mini review in here. Let’s start with my – should be familiar by now – bare face!

Cute, right?

I have no idea why I look so dark in that one because I didn’t touch up the pictures or alter the lighting. My camera does that on occasion because it’s a little princess.

To prime my face, which I don’t usually use, I decided to try the Lioele Secret Pore Rich Balm sample that has been sitting at the bottom of my sample drawer.

 

I expected some sort of gel or something. I guess my reading abilities are a tad bit special. 😉

This balm is quite thick like a paste, but luckily a lot goes a long way. It reminds me a bit of coconut oil without as much melting.

Side note: See my likkle Rilakkuma mouse pad in the background? One of my favorite items ever! ❤

This is what my face looked like after the balm.

Right away you can tell the difference!

My skin looks smoother and a bit matte. I normally don’t like that so much in a base product, but since I’m wearing a bit more makeup today, I’ll live ;).

My BB cream also applied really well.

Here’s the finished product!

Doesn’t my skin look awesome! 😀

I think I will use this primer until I run out and then buy the full size!

As for my eyes, I went more neutral on my eye shadow because I just had~~~ to have my bright lips.

This is the full list of products I used today:

• Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream #23
• Lioele Secret Pore Rich Balm
• Holika Holika Aqua Petit Jelly Watery Cheek in #3 Watery Pink
• Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette
• Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner in Espresso
• Maybelline Rocket Mascara
• Wet n’ Wild Megaslicks Balm Stain in A Stiff Pink

 

Between my curled hair and my rarely used eye shadow, I definitely feel like a Southern Belle. Those words have never come from me before and probably won’t again, so cherish them ;).
