Tuesdays With Kerin: Downtown, Movies, and Giveaway Alert!

Hello World!

#downtownliving

This weekend (really starting Thursday), I took a break from my regularly scheduled life, and lived in Downtown Houston! It was great! My sister and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites, and Thursday afternoon, we saw a special D23 screening of A Wrinkle in Time at the Hobby Center! I was very excited, because A Wrinkle in Time was my favorite book as a child! We then had lunch at this cool joint, Osoo + Kristalla. If you're in Houston, you should check them out. Later we checked out the AMC theater downtown, formerly Sundance Cinemas. Friday was more exploring. We attempted to find shopping downtown, but were relatively unsuccessful, but we did find a Forever 21, and I was able to buy some new jeans.  Saturday was even more exploring! We caught the metro, and explored Discovery Green, the City Hall, and the Theater District! It was also a very hot day, so we did take a pit stop at Hard Rock Cafe for lunch! Sadly, Sunday was our day to check out, and return to reality. It has been a hard adjustment after such a great weekend, which is why I aim to make #downtownliving a reality in the near future!

#moviesaddict

My movie addiction was finally become a problem. I went to movies last night, there wasn't a single movie showing that I hadn't seen yet. I ended up watching Jumanji again. I already mentioned, I watched A Wrinkle on Time. I also watch Anninhlation on Thursday and Love, Simon on Saturday. I going to review of these movies tomorrow! Check out my polls on Twitter or Instagram or leave a comment below on which movie you want me to review!

Makeup Monday: Best of e.l.f.!

Hello World!

e.l.f. cosmetics is one of my favorite brands, because they make really good products and they are insanely affordable. I created this look using some of my favorite e.l.f. products.

If you're looking for some affordable makeup that works, I recommend checking out e.l.f. Here's a list of what I think are their best products, and what everyone should have in their makeup kits!

Poreless Face Primer - $6

This is a great primer. It smooths out your skin, and blurs imperfections, so you have an even canvas for makeup application. It is also infused with Tea Tree and Vitamins A & E for restorative benefits.

Oil-Free Flawless Finish Foundation  - $6

This foundation is full-coverage, lightweight, and blends to a demi-matte finish.The only drawback is that the shade range is very limited. I wear the shade Coco.

Instant Lift Brow Pencil - $2

I LOVE this brow pencil! It has a precise tip that makes it easy to define, shape, and fill in your brows. It glides on really easy. It comes in 3 colors. I use the shade Deep Brown, and I think it has the perfect balance between warm and neutral.


Prime & Stay Finishing Powder - $2

This powder is great for  setting your makeup and touch-ups. It reduces the appearance of fines lines and mattifies, to give you a smooth flawless finish.







Mad for Matte Eyeshadow Palettes - $10

These eyeshadow palettes are very pigmeted and blend easily. I really like the Jewel Pop and the Nude Mood palettes and Nude Mood palette is on sale right now for only $4!



Long-Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadow - $3

These eyeshadows are super soft and creamy, but they don't dry out. They also blend easily, and pack on a lot of color.




Powder Blush Palette (Dark) - $6

This hands-down my favorite blush palette. It comes in the perfect shades for dark skin, that you can mix and match. It also blends perfectly and lasts all day!

Lengthening and Volumizing Mascara - $3

They recently improved the brush and formula for this mascara, and it's much better. This mascara adds a lot of length and volume.

Makeup Mist & Set - $6

This setting spray helps your makeup to last all day! It can also be used to revitalize your makeup throughout the day! It also contains aloe, green tea, cucumber, and vitamins A, C, and E to soothe and hydrate the skin.


Eyeshadow "C" Brush - $3

This is my  favorite eyeshadow blending brush. It has the perfect shape to used for both the crease and the lid. It can also be used with wet or dry products.

5. I watched the Oscars, and was thoroughly upset that "This is Me" did not win, but as for the reviews of the films nominated for best picture, that is still happening. It won't be tomorrow, because I still need to watch 2 movies,  which I will try to do this week, so I have the reviews for you guys next Wednesday!

Tuesdays with Kerin: Wednesday with Kerin

Hello World!

Yes, I know today is Wednesday, and Tuesdays with Kerin are supposed to be on Tuesdays. And yes, I know I missed my post yesterday. But are we really surprised? You knew I was bound to miss a post eventually. But alas, the Tuesday post is still happening. Just a day late!

I don't really have anything to update you guys on. I didn't really do anything last week. If I wasn't doing anything, then why did I miss my post? I dunno... I'm lazy.

My DirecTV was installed on Saturday, and so far so good. I did end up seeing Black Panther again, in fact I have seen it 3 times now. I don't anticipated seeing it again in theaters, but you never know.



I did finally see the last Maze Runner, and I really liked it. I haven't written my movie review for this week, so I'll probably post it tomorrow. (Another late post). But let me know in the comments, what movie I should review. I have some options: Fifty Shades Freed, Maze Runner: Death Cure, The Darkest Hour, or Lady Bird. I'm currently participating the Regal Best Picture Film Festival, so I'm watching all the movies that were nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. I was thinking of doing a full dedicated post next week of reviews of all the nominated movies together, but I don't know.

Well that's all for now! See you tomorrow with my review!

Maybelline Superstay Full Coverage Foundation: What's The Tea?

Hello World!

I've been dying to get my hands on the new Superstay Full Coverage Foundation from Maybelline, and I finally got to try it!  Here's the look I created  using the foundation, and I think it turned out beautifully. I used the shade 356 Warm Coconut. 

Maybelline is one of my favorite makeup brands, and definitely my favorite from the drugstore, because they do so many things right. And foundation is definitely one of them! I love the Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation, and this foundation is like the full coverage version of that! When I say full coverage, I mean FULL coverage! A little goes a long way with this foundation. The coverage is incredible, but it's not heavy and blends easily. It feels super lightweight on the skin, and leaves your skin looking flawless. It has a demi-matte finish, but be warned it dries down pretty quickly, so be prepared when you apply it. But once it dries down, it doesn't budge. I mean it doesn't fade or transfer. This is a foundation that doesn't need to be set with powder. I think this foundation will work best for normal to oily skin, since it is matte. It claims to last for 24hrs, but I don't know about that. It does last for long time, though. The shade range is a good start. It comes in 16 shades, ranging from very fair to deep. It's not as extensive as the Fit Me range, but it's better than a lot of brands. And best of all, this foundation is only $10! It's listed at $11.99, but I know you can get for $9.99 at Target and on Amazon! Overall, I think this foundation is great, and a real steal for it's price. I will definitely continue using it, and would recommend it! 

Buy it here!
