Today's Style Inspo focuses on Selena Gomez. I don't think she used to be quite this stylish when she was younger, but recently her outfits have been looking on-point! She does often times wear just a t-shirt and pants, but whenever she puts some effort into her look, she comes out looking amazing. She also sports a lot of monochrome outfits so I love whenever she wears something colorful to change it up. From the image above, you can tell Selena likes her reds when it comes to color and I think red suits her perfectly.

She has stepped up her red carpet looks as well, although I didn't include any here today. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of looks she's going to wear at future award shows and of course her out-and-about outfits.

DUcare has kindly sent me one of their brush sets to review. I first just want to say that all opinions are my own and I will always be honest about a product or brand. Also, keep reading until the end for a coupon code to get 35% off your purchase!

This set comes with 6 brushes: powder brush, foundation brush, eyeshadow brush, mid eyeshadow brush, small eyeshadow brush, and a lip brush.

My first impression was that I was surprised by the makeup roll the brushes came in, it's very sturdy and has a very nice clasp. However, it does have a really strong plastic-y smell and you can smell it right when you open the package. Leaving that aside however, since the main product is the brushes, the actual brushes are pretty nice. The bristles aren't as soft as my other brushes I already own such as my RealTechniques brushes, but it's not so bad either.



After washing and using, I found the foundation and powder brush to be rough on the skin. It is somewhat soft to the touch when you touch it with your hands, but it's a little rough on the face. I didn't really like applying foundation and powder with these brushes to be honest. The other brushes however, weren't bad. I didn't use the lip brush so I don't know how that one is, but the eye shadow brushes are really nice and they applied eyeshadow pretty well.

All in all, these brushes are average, not great but not bad either. They're really well made, but I just didn't like the foundation brush and the powder brush because the bristles are a little too rough for my liking. The eyeshadow brushes, on the other hand, are nice and I liked using them. If you're interested in purchasing this set or want to see their other products, click here to see their shop on Amazon.

I recently just came back from my annual trip to Japan a few days ago. I always have so much fun going there and I just love the country so much. My parents and I were only in Japan for around 10 days, which is shorter than usual but it was still great nonetheless.

We first spent one full day in Tokyo. I've always wanted to see the "mirrored tunnel" going up inside the Tokyu Plaza building in Omotesando so that's where we ended up first. The building itself consists of retail stores like American Eagle, but shopping wasn't what I came here to do. I literally just wanted to take a picture of the mirrors inside haha. But look how cool!

Today I'm sharing the products I use for skincare. I recently started paying more attention to my skin and taking care of it as best as I can. We can't always stay young after all!

Most of these products are Japanese and I got them there, so I'm not positive if you can buy it elsewhere. I'm sure you can purchase them on Amazon though, they literally have everything! Anyways, without further ado here is my skincare routine.


Step 1 Exfoliate: St. Ives Green Tea Scrub
I don't exfoliate every day because I don't think that's quite good for your skin. Instead, I exfoliate about twice a week. I used to use the Apricot one from the same brand, but I stopped using it because the beads are too big and it's too harsh for my skin. The green tea one has finer beads and it also helps with the redness of the skin.

Step 2 Cleanse: Bioré Marshmallow Whip Foaming Cleanser 
I always use foaming cleansers because I feel like the foam gets into your skin better thus cleaning it better. This cleanser is from Japan and has four different types. I tend to use the green one in the warmer months since it helps with acne and oiliness, and I use the blue one whenever I don't use the green one.

Step 3 Tone: Muji Toning Water
This step is fairly new as I recently just starting using toners. This one is from Muji, which is known for their stationary goods. I didn't even know they had skincare products until couple weeks ago. Anyways, I saw that this product was rated really high on @cosme so I had to get it! It's really affordable as well, which never hurts.

Step 4 Moisturize: Curél Face cream
Curél makes amazing products. I've started seeing a lot of their products in the States, especially in Wal-Mart so it's pretty accessible now. This was also rated very high on @cosme so I purchased it last minute at Narita airport before leaving Japan. I always just used to use body lotion to moisturize my face, but using actual moisturizer intended for the face moisturizes my face much better.

Step 5 Eye cream: SANA Isoflavone (Isofurabon) Wrinkle Eye Cream
This is another Japanese product I got while I was there. Like the toner, I used to never use eye cream until now. I think prevention is key and it doesn't hurt to start early. I just put this on at night right before I go to bed. This product is fairly inexpensive, I think it was around 1000 yen (~$10) or so.

Step 6 Sunscreen (if going outside): Biore UV Aqua Rich Water Essence Cool
I never leave the house anymore without some sort of sunscreen, especially in summer. Many Japanese sunscreens are light and aren't sticky, which is why I love them. This one has is cool when you put it on your skin so it's perfect for the hot summer months.

Well, that was pretty much my skincare routine. I'll try to link where you can purchase these products later! Thanks for reading :)
