Have you heard of "Jamsu"?

Recently I was browsing through the YouTube home page and I came across some videos which title was underwater foundation something...and I thought this might be a Pinterest hack so I went on there and after browsing through many posts I finally found an article from Cosmopolitan which talked about this weird trend in Korea. Its is called Jamsu. This is when you apply your make up and submerge your face in a bowl of water to set it and achieve a "flawless" look. Well Im always up for trying new things and being that this is something I had never heard of and never crossed my mind I wanted to try it and see it it works or if its all hype.
Not only did I try it but I paid attention to how my makeup looks through out my day and checked for anything different from when I apply my make up and set it the regular way...
Check out my video on how to do this. The results are fantastic ;)

I graduated!

I am extremely happy. In January 21st 2014 I started a new journey in my life going to cosmetology school! and as hard as it was at times because of babysitter situation, I made it! I graduated on July 18th 2015! and not only that but I was determined to get my license right away, and so I scheduled my practical exam 3 days later and today I passed my exam and I am now officially a licensed cosmetologist. I graduated 6 months before my actual graduation date. The last two and a half months were the toughest doing 48 hrs weekly and being away from my kids but God had a plan and he made this possible. I am forever thankful to him and my family for believing in me and helping out as much as they could. So now I am able to make videos and post more on my blog! yes

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water | Review

$32-------$16



I have been using the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water for almost a month now and I think Its time for a review/ my thoughts on this product. First of all, I wanna talk about how unique this primer/setting spray is to me. I personally haven't heard of a product that you spray on your face and acts as a primer until I saw this and I wanted to try it out because it sounded so interesting, and I could get various uses out of it. My skin is more on that normal side and only gets a bit oily in the summer. My pores are noticeable and I normally use a primer that will help minimize the size, even though they are not huge but big enough for me to notice. Of course I wasn't expecting this spray to help with my pores but I pretty much use it to prep my skin and I honestly stopped using other kinds of primers since I've been using this. I don't necessarily notice a difference on how my foundation applies but it makes it stay on. After I apply all my makeup including lipstick I spray it on my face a few times and just sets everything. It dries quickly and the smell is AWESOME! I use foundation that are long wearing and they work even better with this spray. I have put it o the test during those days that is crazy humid (I live in Tx) and even after sweating my makeup is on and not patchy or breaking apart. I could apply it during the day if I wanna freshen up my skin and I find myself not having to touch up with powder which is something I don't like doing unless necessary. Yes this products is on the pricy side if you're like me and normally only buy drugstore make up but in my opinion, if I invest in some good primers and setting sprays my makeup doesn't have to be all highend  and it will last on my skin all day. If you are looking for something new to try definitely try the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water!, it is a very cool product which performs amazing. And if you feel like $32 is a lot, wait for a 20% off coupon from ULTA like I did and you won't feel as guilty ;)
