About My Blog: Welcome to Elena’s Beauty Blog

If you’re into fashion and makeup, you’ve come to the right place. I’ll be posting some before-and-afters, beauty tips and tricks and makeup techniques. Next up: Fall and Winter looks!

Thanks for visiting!

Hi everyone,

This blog will be primarily about makeup and beauty tips, I want to share some of my favorite products and techniques for achieving different looks, and include a diverse array of affordable and higher end options. I know that a many of us are in college and don’t have the time or money to be spending on expensive products and long routines. Although that can be fun for a glam look, I will also include quick, everyday makeup tutorials and tips for acne prone skin, which I personally struggle with. You will notice that some of the skincare DIY’s I suggest are completely natural, and inexpensive! I believe in healing through nature, and sometimes simple ingredients and applications are most helpful and healing to stressed out skin. I will also be sharing some favorite tips and video links from my favorite makeup artists and skincare gurus such as my favorite makeup artist, Nikki_Makeup (on Instagram) and Hyram and Roxette Arisa on youtube, as well as others who have inspired me. In sum, I want to encourage people to do what they can to feel their most confident, whether it’s dressing for success, healing insecurities or emphasizing their favorite features.

    The documentary that I watched is from Netflix’s “Explained” series…this one is about Cults. In this documentary, they used “pathos” and “ethos”, with reputable scholars and first hand witnesses who survived being in a cult. Major elements are also imagery and conflicts presented.
