Squeaky clean!

  We've all had those nights when we sleep with our makeup. However the rule is to clean first no matter what. Woken up with a slimy, swollen face where foundation seeped its way into the pores. That requires a double clean up routine and no room for applying makeup for several hours as the skin needs to breathe otherwise, just wait for those red pimples to pop up in no time.

  The answer to the problem is The Body Shop's Tea Tree Cool and Creamy wash. I apply makeup almost everyday, even though I clean up regularly there are those times where I am downright tired and just use this wash. Since I started using the Tea Tree Cool and Creamy I find my skin to be squeaky clean.


  It removes makeup thoroughly. The formula contains peppermint which makes the face feels light and even calms the swollen look.

  The smell might be a little medicated however, its not strong and does not linger.

  This face wash is from the tea tree collection which is especially made for blemished skin. They claim "skin spotlessly clean without over drying." This I found true I have dry skin and it did not make it more dry after wash. I don't have acne problems now a days hence can't say much but due to threading and waxing on face their is redness which does come down due to the peppermint.

Fall Trends 2014



In many places summer has slightly started to fold and the breeze of rust leaves is on its way. On my end, we still have many sunny and humid days left. However, we cannot over look the changing trend forecast for beauty ahead for fall/winter 2014.

The forecast from the runway adds edge while maintaining sophisticated elegance. A bit of 60-70's glamour, Kim Kardashian lashes and soft smokes, lets deconstruct:

1. Metallic mayhem: 
RODARTE FALL/WINTER 2014
Metallic eye shadow was present in many runways from Rodarte, Donna Karen, Atluzarra and Emporio Armani. The 70's vibe with over the top metallic touch eye shadow and matching lip is prove you keep on using your Maybelline color tattoo eye shades. Buy a few metallic nail colors (if you haven't already) if you don't want to experiment with eyes. The metallic touch will instantly add a WOW factor with dark fall/winter hues.











2. Doll eye lashes:
GUCCI FALL/WINTER 2014
Rochas, Gucci to Saint Laurent all sported big spider like lashes. Extra lashes to make eyes prominent this 60's beauty trend was big in Milan. Look towards Kim Kardashian or Twiggy for inspiration for fake lashes.














3. Keep up the smoke:
TOPSHOP UNIQUE FALL/WINTER 2014
Smokey eyes are not going anywhere. But if you don't want to go dark then take soft lilac hues smudge and smoke it out. This trend was present at Topshop Unique with a twist where they focused smudging black shadow under the eye and using lots of heavy mascara to get big lashes and create a grunge effect. More over Lavin, Tom Ford, Marc by Marc Jacobs all adapted this look.





4. Flawless skin: 
DVF FALL/WINTER 2014
Skin care items should be top on your list for quite a few seasons as fresh flawless skin is more in trend then any makeup look. Jason Wu, Ralph Lauren, Valentino to Erdem all kept their models skin simple with a hint of plush pink color on the cheeks.













5. Luxe eye colors:
GILES FALL/WINTER 2014
Don't invest on metallic browns (probably you have many as they are staple) instead incorporate a few emerald green, cobalt blue, silver or lilac hues. Line the under eye area or apply on the eye lid like a liner and then thinly run your black eye liner over it creating the way Channel went out with only flashes of liner showing. Doir, Giles and Kenzo models were seen with this trend.
