Simone Slater [한국의 외국인 생활]

 I have suffered with acne my whole life and it is so hard to find skincare products that agree with my skin and seriously work where I can see results. Lately I have been loving the appearance of my skin and its all because of the products that I have been using whilst living in South Korea. Although most of the brands that I mention in the video is only available here, I will also list below products which you can get that are somewhat similar to the products I use.

Yay for another video this month. Its all about Valentine's an achieving the perfect glam look especially if you are going out with your man or girlfriends and you want to look good.

 This Valentines look is simple and easy to achieve. If you do not have the exact products I have mentioned, don't stress, use what you have at home to recreate the look. And don't forget to tag me and upload it to my Facebook page so I can see the looks you guys have recreated.

Thank you again so much for your love and support. Hope you enjoy the video and don't forget to give this video a thumbs up and comment below what you would like to see next.

Hey Precious babes! Today's post is all about the Manicures and the colours that are trending this season. We all love a good mani but sometimes don't know the colours we should be using for the season. But don;t stress girl, I have you covered. Here are a few of my favs.
Being a Beauty Blogger means trying out every product on the market and sometime being disappointed by the previous reviews or what the product actually says it suppose to do Have you had that problem when you purchased a new product?

Today I'm going to let you in on products that do actually work. Starting with hair products that claim to grow your hair, or make it shine or keep it in place.

The Jane Seymour Wonderset hairspray
What it claims:
 A long lasting conditioning hairspray that is set to keep your hair looking and feeling good throughout the day. It also claims to set the hair once styled ad does not leave the hair crispy and dry.


What it actually does:
I can say the product does exactly that, my hair did not feel like I had hair spray in my hair let alone look frail or crispy. It left a shine to my hair especially because my hair is jet black, anything that goes on my hair tends to make my hair greasy and oily. I did not have that problem with this hair spray. My hair styles would set with the stray and if I wanted to rock a curl or straight do, I would spritz some of this on my hair and it did the job.

 So if you have not heard about Zoella and her beauty range, then you certainly have been living under a huge rock in another planet. I follow Zoella and her crazy videos and was so excited to her launching her very own beauty range at an affordable price. Zoella Beauty is available online at Feel Unique which also ships international, which is awesome for us South African because we can finally enjoy some of the joys people in the states have.
I can't wait to purchase a few of her products and test them out. Comment below which products you think I should buy.
Have a blessed weekend loves, and check my youtube channel, I have a new video up! xxx

You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.
| Proverbs 31:30 


So as you know I love online shopping and when I recieved this package after waiting a whole two months I was super excited. BH Cosmetics has always been one of the brands I have been wanting to try out but because we don't have adirect store here, online shopping was the only medium to purchase them. With shipping costs being rediculous it was only feasible to purchase many items to make it worth my while.


You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.
| Song of Solomon 4:7

So last week I recieved my Rubybox in the mail and how excited I was because I love opening little surprises. We got the most luxurious samples from L'Occitane for the March Limited Edition Rubybox.



So I came across these questions from other Beauty Bloggers, and I decided to answer them myself. Hope you gorgeous babies enjoy and have a fab weekend. New Videos and exciting giveaway coming soon!

How many hours a week do you spend filming/editing videos?
I generally spend 2 -3 hours filming, especially if I don’t have help. Setting up my equipment and then testing it out before I start filming.
When it comes to editing it depends on how much I want to edit. So between 2-4hours

Are you a spender or a saver?
I am both hey. I love saving, especially if it is for something I have wanted for ages. But if I like something and I want it, I am not afraid to purchase it. But I do know when I need to stop. :-P

When is it easiest for you to film?
I rely on daylight for filming so preferably after work before the sun sets or the mornings/afternoons on the weekends. Sometimes I do not make it in time to film in the daylight so I film late at night with my lighting equipment.

What makes talking in front of the camera comfortable for you?
I guess at first I was like UHM your talking to yourself. But once you realize the amount of people watching your videos you realize that you not only talking to yourself but all you gorgeous people that support me out there which makes it better. I’m generally comfortable in public as I studied Public Relations so communications and being in the public eye I guess comes naturally.

What's your worst makeup/hair habit?
My worst makeup habit I think is after applying my makeup I take a towel and wipe a little off so I don’t look so cakey. In fact I do this all the time, it’s become a habit of sort which is weird because I try cover up my blemishes and then wipe it off before setting it with a setting spray. My hair habit I would say is tying my hair way too tight. I don’t know why but I do it and it sometimes causes headaches but I feel if my ponytail is not tied tight then I start my hairstyle over again. BLEH. Something I have to stop because I know my hair could break in that way, don’t you think??


 

 What's one quote that you wish the world would live by?
Love your neighbour like you love yourself…

   How long do you spend getting ready everyday?
If I am in a rush for work it would take me like an hour. If I have time to get ready it will take me 2hours, and if I have planned my outfit the night before then 40mins and I’m out the door.

  What's your favourite video on youtube?
Room Tours and Makeup Storage Colleciton & Ideas – Love Carli Bel’s makeup and room tour video

Who is a YouTuber that you watch who deserves more views/subscribers than they have?
KandyKane Makeup 

What's one thing your excited about in the upcoming year?
TRAVELLING! My boyfriend and I at the beginning of the year drew up a dream board together of our goals and dreams and both of us made a promise to travel this year. So I am determined to make it happen, even if it is a trip down the coast or to neighbouring cities, its still travelling. And we start that at the end of this month for our 2 Year Anniversary ♥♥♥♥

 What's your most awkward filming moment?
LOL I think when I was filming one of the mornings and my house keeper walked in while I was filming and didn’t know what I was doing and just carried on cleaning my room. I had to stop filming and explain to her I was filming for an online site. Lol. I think that’s the most awkward moment.

 How long does it take you to prep for a video?
I don’t’ take long. Usually if I know what I am going to be filming, setting up takes like 10 mins.

 Are you wearing pants (jeans/skirt) right now
or are you actually wearing pajama bottoms
or sweatpants?
I’m at work answering these questions so I’m in a dress. But when I film I usually wear my pj shorts.

  What are you most proud of in your life?
Completing my studies and Graduating and following my passion.



Its almost time for the L.O.V.E Month to approach us so I thought what better way than to upload a Valentines Day Makeup for you guys!

I used all PINK and GOLD becasue whats a girl without some pink lucious lips and gold glitter???

Hope you enjoy!!

Over the past week and a half I have been fasting and what an amazing time I am having drawing closer to Jesus and growing spiritually. Its also helps listening to music and praising and worshiping throughout the day, while I'm at work and going about my day. So the music I have been loving is the new Hillsongs youth album called Hillsongs Young & Free. If you have not heard the album, please listen to it, I have posted the video below. As a young adult praise and worship should be a joy and worshiping with Hillsongs music is so amazing.

Have a blessed Wednesday!
