I'm damaged but will BRB

Hello,

So I have not posted in awhile and that sucks. I have a reason though, I have been sick for the last two weeks now. What started as a flu turned into Acute Bronchitis that turned into a heart issue. I have missed work for the last two weeks and dearly miss my normal life. I have spent more time at my doctors and in the hospital in the last two weeks that I did in the last two years. I really hope to get everything cleared up but right now it seems like abit before I can get back to work. My heart is racing constantly and I am having a hard time breathing. Fun fun I know, but besides all this I haven't been doing my makeup really or getting anything new. I did however film a haul video that I will upload soon that is off stuff I got before I was sick and a few things I got on the one day I felt better lol. I really hope to at least make some videos while I am off work. Enough of all this I have to go get ready for another trip to the doctor, I am so greatfull I live in Canada and I have free health care cause I don't know what I would be doing without it. Hope all you lovely people are great and thanks for sticking by.

Much love,
Sarah Desiree

PS- I have been into photography for along time but now that I am stuck at home I am loving my new camera and 20x zoom lens. I took this picture the otherday after we got some snow.

Tutorial - Neutral Work Look

Neutral Work Look

I wanted to do a series of looks that are work appropriate. I always would have a hard time looking for inspiration for looks to wear to a job interview or anywhere that you want a more subtle makeup look. This is the first look in what I hope to be a series of look. I work in an office and I only want to spend so much time getting ready in the morning and this is one of my favorite looks to do when I just want something fast, nice and neutral. It can be changed to match the colors you have but I really like the golden tones. Make sure to watch the video and check out the list bellow of what I used to create this look.

L'Oreal HIP Duo Review

L'Oreal HIP Duo Review

I got my first HIP duo this summer after seeing swatches and reviews online and its been all gravy since then. I now have 9 shades and I love all but one so I think that is a true testament to the great job L'Oreal did with this line. Normally if I am going to spend more than $5 on an eyeshadow than its MAC but the HIP duos are an exception. Normally however I do just wait till they got on sale at my local drug store and then pick one or two up. I would suggest them to someone looking to build their collection or who is just starting out and can't afford MAC. They are not a MAC replacement but they are really close. If you would like to see my video review than check out my YouTube page or keep reading for pictures and swatches.
