Sleek Updo Hair Tutorial James’ Excitement and 7 Beauty Reviews… Round Up!

It’s Monday so that means round up time ^_^

This week I uploaded the tutorial on how to do that twisted updo thingy that I wore during that pearl and lace comb tutorial back here. I am planning to take photos for photo versions of a lot of these tutorials this afternoon for those who can’t watch the videos/prefer photos. Hopefully they should be up later this week.

I also edited a mini V-Log on the day James got his camera a few months ago. He is adorable, and totally paid me back by filming me getting my new camera/early Christmas present on Friday so I guess I’ll have to put that up too haha!

As I mentioned last week I’m planning to do daily V-Logs through December but those will be edited less and probably shorter than my previos ones. I’m going to keep doing the longer ones too just not every day.

Also I’ve moved my beauty reviews to their own version of the site so click through any of the links below to check it out. This new beauty section won’t change anything here and if you want to follow the daily reviews you’ll need to subscribe there. Yay!

Now back to taking photos for me 😀 I lost a lot of the footage and photos for the scarf knitting tutorial so I’m going to refilm that today and finish up on the basic hime dress tutorial I was making too. I deco’d my new camera over the weekend too so now I want to make a matching strap too, photos soon! So many photos soon hahaha!

Laura Mercier Fondation Primer Review… Currently Using

laurer-mercier-primer

Laura Mercier Fondation Primer

Price: $65

Obtained: Gift Bag

Thoughts:

I didn’t use primer for a very long time then I started to use a Face of Australia one and haven’t stopped since. I got this tester size in the ABBW gift bag. It is a fairly thin cream similar to most of the others sold in Australia I’ve tried so far though this one is much more of watery consistency. While it did it’s job as a primer well, I didn’t find any noticeable difference between this at a luxury price point or the budget options I’ve tried. So yes it worked and if you are looking for something in a higher price range then I would definitely suggest trying it out as it worked well for me.

Would I buy Laura Mercier Fondation Primer again: Yes if I had the money.

Australis Make-Up Finishing Spray Review… Currently Using

australis-rose-finishing-spray

Australis Make-Up Finishing Spray

Price: $14.95

Obtained: Gift Bag

Thoughts:

I’m not really sold on the idea of finishing sprays, I personally prefer powders so I wasn’t very interested when I came across this in a gift bag. I gave it a try anyway one day on a whim and while I liked it I couldn’t really tell if it made my make up last any longer. It smells like roses which I really love and the smell doesn’t linger for very long. As I mentioned I couldn’t tell if it actually made my make up last longer but the nice smell did make me want to use it again. I think it would be something I would use a lot in Summer and maybe keep it in the fridge for a cool refreshing burst during the day.

Would I buy Australis Make-Up Finishing Spray again: Probably not because I didn’t notice any difference in my make up wear.
