Hi! My name is Olivia, and I am self conscious.
Now, I know I just did a post about body confidence (and by 'just' I mean a month ago... oops). But that is not the self conscious I am talking about. Have you ever taken what you thought to be a really great picture, only to find out that you actually looked like an alpaca on shaving day? This is how I feel whenever I try to make a Youtube video.
For the last 8 months or so, I have aspired to have my own channel, with lots of funny/inspiring/thoughtful videos. I have a whole book full of video plans. But, to my chagrin, every time I sit down to record such a thing, I end up trashing the whole project because I am not comfortable with the way I look/the way I talk/THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I BLINK WHEN I'M NERVOUS!
So all that being said, I PROMISE YOU, videos are coming. And in case you're interested, I have tagged this post with some of the categories of ideas I have for the future. I'm really looking forward to sharing this with you!
Until next time,
Liv xx

NARS Smudge-Proof Eyeshadow Base // Beauty
Good Day!
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday!
In the spirit of the weekend and all it has to offer, I thought I would review a product you may or may not find useful in your weekend "look", the NARS Smudge-Proof Eyeshadow Base.
As far as its claim to be "smudge-proof", the product does not lie. I put this on under Urban Decay Naked palette eyeshadows, and about 14 hours later I was still having to scrub at my lids to get it off. Super potent!
However, this can be a good and a bad thing. The good news is that once you nail the perfect eyeshadow, it's not going anywhere. The bad news is that if you make a mistake or need to change your shadow part-way through the day, that shadow is still not going anywhere. If you have fairly oily lids, this may be a good option for you, since it might help counteract that slippy effect.
This is a good product, but I would say that if you don't really struggle with your shadow, a less potent formula like Urban Decay's Primer Potion might be a better option. Since I had a bit of a hard time putting eyeshadow on over this base, I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have. Perhaps with a bit of practice I can perfect it.
Until next time,
