Silencing Yourself

I have this bad habit of silencing myself when I interact with other people and it has to stop.
It could be from keeping in my feelings and thoughts, because I feel like they don't matter, to not speaking up in a conversation with others.
I've been learning that silencing myself is very harmful, not just to myself, but to others as well. It can and has damaged some relationships because I wasn't verbal enough of what I was thinking. I believed that I would sound whiny or unreasonable (and any other negative adjective I could think of), so I silenced myself. Over and over again.
This is something that I am looking on improving in my everyday life and if you have this problem or something similar, then I hope you can learn to improve your life along side me.
We have to remember that it's okay to speak our minds, that we have to ask for what we want instead of silencing ourselves. We are worthy enough and we should tell ourselves that, so we won't be afraid anymore.

Have a lovely day!

Aesthica Cream Contour Kit and Double Ended Contour Brush Review

Good afternoon everyone! I am back and ready to share with you this amazing contour kit that I got for Christmas.

 For the past couple of months, I have used and bought only makeup products that are "Cruelty-Free" ONLY.  I am very against animal testing and I don't want to give my money to companies whose ethics I don't agree with. Also by using cruelty free makeup, you are also choosing a "healthier" option for your skin. These cosmetic brands use natural and safe ingredients and often times are chemical free as well, so there really isn't any point or need to test on animals.
That being said, all the makeup products that I will be reviewing on my blog for now on will be cruelty-free.
Aesthica is a makeup brand located in Miami, Florida that is completely cruelty-free with some products that are vegan as well. I've always wanted a contour kit, so I was ecstatic when I opened a little box on Christmas Eve and found this beauty inside.

If you have oily skin like me, then you will love this kit. The ingredients don't gloss over your skin like other cream products at all. It has a very matte finish to it which looks lovely with setting powder over it as well.

I am very sorry for the makeup stains on my kit. I tried wiping them off, but sadly it just stayed like that.

I love how rich each of the highlighting and bronzing colors are. I used absolutely no editing in the pictures below so you can see the true colors of the palette.

The brush is perfect for the cream contour kit (or even powder kits) and it's great for application and blending. No complaints about it yet!

 Here is a low quality selfie. I used this contour kit to help create this look. 

 

Quality: 10/10

I have spent quite a few days/hours (since I am really bad at coding), completely redesigning my blog. I am happy to say that it is almost complete for the new year. You know what they say "New Year, New Blog" ;)
