Hello, gorgeous individuals! I recently filmed a fast five minute face makeup routine that showcases my go-to look for a doctor visit, featuring the stunning Girlcult Sinensis #61 chameleon eyeshadow quad. This quick makeup application emphasizes an effortless yet polished appearance, perfect for those busy mornings or last-minute engagements.

All products mentioned have been purchased by me, and I share my honest opinions about them.

Create Your Own Stunning Five Minute Face Look

This easy and quick makeup look enhances your eyes and takes only five minutes to complete. Here’s a detailed list of products you’ll need to replicate this beautiful style at home, even if you don’t have the exact items I use:

• a clear brow gel
• an eyeshadow primer
• a light multichrome eyeshadow
• a golden green eyeliner pencil or eyeshadow
• a mascara
• a foundation
• a cool toned light pink iridescent blush
• a multichrome highlighter
• a loose setting powder
• a pink beige lip pencil
• a pink beige lipstick or lip gloss
• a setting spray

In many of my previous tutorials, I use generic color terms alongside specific product recommendations, allowing you to explore your own makeup collection for similar shades to experiment with. While my personal makeup preferences may differ from yours, I aim to inspire creativity in developing your unique style and expression.

Personally, I find that my YouTube Short showcasing the five-minute face tutorial is preferable to the IG Reel, as I believe my editing skills have improved significantly. With practice, I’m dedicated to enhancing my content quality each day!

In-Depth Review of Girlcult Sinensis #61 Eyeshadow Quad

I absolutely adore the GirlCult Sinensis eyeshadow quad! If you share my passion for multichrome eyeshadows, this quad is sure to impress! Each of the four shades is stunning. For the video tutorial, I specifically used the first shade, which is incredibly versatile. The packaging is made from durable plastic and is aesthetically pleasing, while its compact size makes it an ideal fit for even the smallest makeup bags.

Review of LYS LN1 Triple Fix Blurring and Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation Stick

For those who appreciate blurring and hydrating stick foundations, especially for dry sensitive skin, the LYS Triple Fix Blurring and Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation Stick is an absolute must-try. It has quickly become my favorite foundation! This stick foundation is designed for application with fingertips, allowing for a seamless blend that flawlessly matches your skin tone.

I delve deeper into this foundation in my article on the best makeup for travel.

Insight on Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil

The Urban Decay Reflect pencil is one of those 24/7 pencils that I cherish so much that I purchased two backups. The unique color of this pencil beautifully accentuates my blue-green eyes, making them stand out.

Fenty Blaz’d Donut Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick Overview

The Fenty Blaz’d Donut is the quintessential glossy pink beige shade that serves as my perfect my lips but better (MLBB) color. I had been eager to try this formula for quite some time, and now I can’t believe I waited so long, as it feels incredible and looks fantastic. If you have fair skin and find that most nude lip colors tend to turn orange, I highly recommend trying Blaz’d Donut.

Em Cosmetics Heaven’s Glow Blushes Review

The Heaven’s Glow blushes by Em Cosmetics offer a stunning finish and radiant glow! I’m currently wearing the shade Seraph, which is a vibrant pink with lilac iridescence, and I also have Baroque, a soft neutral beige with pearlescent champagne iridescence. Both shades give me the most breathtaking glow! The full range tends to be warm-toned, but I can wear both of these shades beautifully.

If you’re curious about Baroque, take a look at how it appears on me in my review of R.E.M. Beauty Starlet Liquid Eyeshadow.

Update on My Social Media Presence

Currently, I am not very active on social media and have removed it from my phone. Instead, I am using the time I once dedicated to scrolling through feeds to immerse myself in reading books. According to my Kindle app, I have read 39 books in 2025, but the actual number is likely higher, as many of those entries encompass multiple stories within a single digital book.

Books I’ve Enjoyed Recently:

• Eternal Night Shift Series by Lena Nazarei
• Magiford Supernatural City by K.M. Shea
• A Vampire’s Guide to Gardening by Shari L. Tapscott
• This Alien Earth by Paul Antony Jones
• Blood Magic by J.T. Lawrence
• Waifs and Strays by Helen Harper
• Shadow Magic by Melissa Delport
• Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
• The Stars are Dying by Chloe C. Penaranda
• Darkstone Academy by Bliss Devlin
• The Nevermore Murder Club and Smutty Book Coven by Steffanie Holmes
• The Empyrean Books by Rebecca Yarros
• A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
• The Golden Wolf by Shannon Mayer
• The Shadow Bound Queen by Eliza Raine

Additionally, I have come across a few poorly written smutty books that I won’t mention by name. I have a preference for lengthy book series and am still on the lookout for high-quality sci-fi literature that conveys positive themes. Recently, I found myself desiring something akin to The Rowan by Anne McCaffrey, but I have yet to uncover a new series that fits that bill. I am also open to exploring new urban fantasy novels featuring vampires, faeries, witches, and werewolves.

Some of my all-time favorite authors include:

• Seanan McGuire (particularly the October Daye series and Incryptid series, and her work under the name Mira Grant is excellent as well)
• Yasmine Galenorn (my favorite is The Otherworld Series)
• Laurell K Hamilton (I adore Anita Blake, but Merry Gentry was also a fun read)
• Hailey Edwards
• Kim Harrison
• Patricia Briggs
• K. F. Breene
• Lindsay Buroker (especially Legacy of Magic)
• Jacqueline Carey
• Melissa Marr
• Jim Butcher
