I'm having a hard time to write about something. I know I have a ton of ideas and I have product reviews listed. Some of the products that I have for review should've been up like a month a go. But I wanted to insert more character to my blog rather than just product reviews. I post thoughts here and there but I haven't really put or exerted much effort in to it. I expected more from myself and just to keep everything going and going. I don't post as much as other beauty bloggers out there who are posting like almost everyday. I post once a week because I don't want to be burned out of ideas and I want to keep blogging fun and creative rather than making it a daily responsibility. Do you get what I mean?

Earlier this month, Google approved my blog for Google Adsense and I was beyond happy and excited! As you can see, there are some ads here and I hope that you wouldn't find it annoying. ♥  Also, I have been approached by brands from different social media platforms and getting messages from them is something that made me happy that these people appreciate the thing that I do and sees the potential that this blog has. I haven't really jumped in and welcomed it all because some of them work for me but some didn't which is kind of sad but that's okay because being acknowledged already gave me that feeling of content and to think that, well, I think, that I haven't exerted the effort that I was expecting from myself. I don't want to drift away from blogging because I realized that I am just wasting time. If you scroll down a bit to my blog archive I have been blogging inconsistently since 2012. I have wasted more than three years doing other things and most of the time procrastinating. Okay. Maybe I am overreacting with procrastinating so let's just say that I was doing other important stuff, but I realized, not really that important and I could've made time for blogging.

Whenever I feel uninspired, I take a break and that's fine. We need to take a break sometimes to recharge right? What I do is that I read blogs, go out, explore new things.

So anyway, here I am again and doing quite well since February this year (pats self in the back). I have learned to appreciate that little hard work that I put in to this blog and looking forward to more and you guys, my beloved readers who have been reading until this point (Comment "Nutella" for a random quote reply! ♥), thank you so much! I truly appreciate every page view and comment on my blog. You guys say the nicest things and I will take that as an inspiration to write and keep going and enjoy this little thing that I love doing. I'm happy that I have been consistent this past 3 months and I will keep this going til I can!

My mantra is "I can and I will!".

My goal is to do the thing that I love and at the same time, to have that financial freedom. ♥

How about you? What's your struggles? Do you experience the same sentiments? What's your ultimate goal? Would love to chat on the comments!

Thanks for reading,

Hi guys!

So, it's been a while since I posted an eyebrow routine and that was 2014. I was using my trusty eyebrow pencil from Avon but that was a long time ago. If you want to check it out, click here. Now, I am using my Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade. I had a difficult time using the pomade because it was my first time to use that kind of product and I was applying it wrong and it made my brows look monstrous to be honest. But now, I know how to apply it correctly and just the way I want it.

These are my eyebrow essentials. :) My Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Dark Brown, San San Cosmetics Concealer in Beige, Marionnaud No. 38 Eyebrow brush and a lip brush that I used for blending the concealer. :)

Now, my eyebrow routine hasn't changed drastically because the way I do it works for me but instead of shaving my eyebrows, I now learned how to pluck them instead. I just pluck the stray hair around the shape of my eyebrows, usually the ones on the lower part and I don't touch the upper part of it.

 So here, I've started with "marking" my brows. As you can notice, I've marked the parts where my brows should start, where the arch should be and the end of the tail. Now I know where to direct my brush when outlining the eyebrows. 

 I've already outlined my eyebrows here and I used a small amount of product with a very light hand to do this. My tip for you is that when dealing with pomades, lightly dab your brush in to the pot for, let's say a couple of times and then using the back of your hand, again, dab the brush in just to take off any excess product.

When filling in, I start at the tail of my brows and work my way towards the center of the brows up to the inner parts. After filling in, you can notice that the application is quite uneven so having a spoolie is a must. I lightly brushed out the harsh edges and brush up the hair on the inner part of the brows to look natural. 

I like my eyebrows a little light because like I said, I'm going for natural looking brows. With the concealer and a small brush, I outlined my eyebrows and blended it out for better definition.

I blended out the concealer using a brush then later, used my ring finger. I used a concealer that blends with my skin tone because I'm not after highlighting the brows but aiming for that clean look.

So that's it for my updated brow routine. I have to say that I know like using the pomade instead of brow pencil because pomades lasts longer especially with the Philippine weather. :)

So that's it for this post! I hope you find it helpful and let me know what brow product are you currently using! I'm curious! ♥

And I have to add this one too.
