Don’t Rush Challenge (#dontrushchallenge)

After you’ve shown off your super cute loungewear, take a make-up brush, and cover your camera. Then, while your camera is off, get dressed up and so your make-up in the most comfortable way. Once you’re done, take the same make-up brush and continue recording by replacing the brush on the camera and then slowly removing it to show your transformation.
