Travel Make-up + FOTD: On the road again~

Hello! Missed this place! Finally back for the week, but will be heading out of town for the weekend. Can anyone guess where I'll be going? Think bright lights at night and extreme heat waves all day long. Kind of looking forward to it though. Mini getaway/pre-party? Definitely going to have to lather up in SPF and keep hydrated. Ahh.

In such extreme heat, minimal make-up/waterproof make-up is essential. Raccoon eyes? NO THANKS! Here's what I will be taking in my make-up bag for the trip:


Eyes: UD Naked palette. All the light/dark neutrals I'll need.
GOSH "BLACK INK" waterproof velvet pencil eyeliner (from swap w/Vicky)
Physicians Formula "Ultra Black" Eye Booster Liquid Eyeliner. Staying power is great!
ULTA highlighting wand stick for the inner corners.

Face: Skin79 Triple Function BB Cream SPF 25
Sonia Kashuk Hidden Agenda concealer palette
Maybelline DREAM MATTE powder in Sand. (Haven't shown you guys this one yet, but loving it so far!)
NYC Matte Bronzer in "Sunny" (Haven't show this one as well...but I like it a lot too!)
Physician's Formula "Natural" Happy Booster Blush
Oil blotting sheets encased in pink

Lips: Sleek "Electro Peach" POUT POLISH SPF 15 (from swap w/Vicky)

My favorite go-to gloss:





Love this stuff! Highly pigmented for a gloss + lip conditioner. Perfect for a quick flush of color on the lips and I'm good to go!

Brows: Lioele Auto-Eyebrow in gray black

Not pictured but still bringing: UDPP (a must!) and I'll probably bring my Smashbox limitless liner in "Orchid" (purple)

AND, this morning I used all the products as they are my go-to favs for everyday.

If you guys are familiar with JewelMint, you'll recognized the necklace I'm wearing! Hopefully will post a video and/or post about my two pieces that I've recently received. :]

One last thing as I wrap this post up. (Skip if you'd like.) Went to Japanese class today and a fellow classmate brought a Japanese girl whom her family is hosting at their home during her stay here. She was super kawaii! And tiny...and her skin was so nice. *jealous* lol. She was so enthusiastic and happy and smiley. Definitely a different feel from the people here in the states. I mean, we're all nice people, but we generally don't show our happiness/expressiveness as much, which I think is a pity. ANYWAYS, she was super adorable and she loves 2PM+2AM since she's studying in Korea and I think she's teaching there too? Or wants to? I forgot, but yes. ^^ When class was over (owarimasu~), the classmate asked if I could take a picture of her, some other classmates, and the Japanese girl. After, the Japanese girl asked me to take a picture with her...and though I felt awkward, but didn't want to say no...I did. lol. Now I she has a picture of me on her phone, though I don't really remember her name and she has no Idea what my name is. XD

So yes, it's been a good day. :D

Here's a list of things to do this weekend:
TRY to relax.
Finish up my sakubun.
Work on the skits in preparation for the oral exam next week.
Study for the final.
Do the homework (shukudai)
Finally catch up on "PROTECT THE BOSS" (kdrama). ♡♡ The pics and gifs are soo teasing! lol.

Especially because of this namja...

Teehee...my ultimate bias in the fangirl world. :P ♥
Umm...explanation will come later....:3


Alrighty, post is gettin' pretty lengthy. Will end this with a special appearance:

Will be back on Sunday so no posts til then/after Sunday! =[

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!!
