Holiday Wishlist!

Hi everyone,

Today I will be sharing some great beauty finds that are up for the holiday season. Even though Christmas is not my religious festival but I can't wait check out some great deals and share with my friends and family and everyone else!

Hopefully it will help some of you to decide what to get or check out before going crazy in front of the racks.

Starting with Benefit's limited edition Holiday sets, most of the gift sets are packaged in tins with some sassy illustration. These can easily be reused as storage boxes or show piece as one finds them fit.

This is great for new Benefit users or trying some new ones that we don't see reviewed as much as the Hoola bronzer. I love POREfessional really soothes skin as a primer and BADgal Lash is also a good mascara now second to Benefit's own 'They are Real'. I have wanted to try the other products and with this purchase it will give me a chance to see if I should get full size products.

Show me the love!

This is one where you get a tin can and I think it looks amazing.
This includes:
full size they're real! mascara 8.5 g 
full size benetint 0.4 US fl oz.
deluxe the POREfessional  0.25 US fl. oz.

Price $36

Now the mascara is one of the most raved and reviewed. I also got one travel size in a gift and loved it. This gift set is best as you get 2 full size products in  $36 which is amazing because the mascara alone is priced at $33 and you get to use the tin nothing to throw away!

Are you applying it correctly?

Hello,

Reading through beauty reads I found the blush placement according to face shape by Makeup Forever MUA.

Check out your face shape and see if you use the same technique or you could improve on it by this chart!

Halloween Inspirations

Hello,

Here are some Halloween ideas that I have picked up for this year. Since Great Gatsby was a big hit this year I am expecting a lot of inspirations coming from the 1920s.

Makeup is simple winged eyeliner and deep red lipstick will set the theme (Rimmel no. 11 Kate Moss collection is a great red)
Pearl necklaces and bracelets are sure to be in every women's closet. A bling hair accessory would be plus and a fringe dress just search for 1920s fashion.

Moving ahead in the years Mad Men ended on quite a high note. Take some inspiration from the women. It's all about statement necklaces and some bold eyes.

Pop art is a popular choice for this year's Halloween theme. So take out all you major makeup gear and some paint to try this.

Sadly could not find out any character from the year's biggest T.V hit Breaking Bad however one can try to be lab assistant to the great Heisenberg.. Hahahah.

Let me know any other that you will try.

Tea Tree Blessing!

Hello,

I got a couple of sachets from The Body Shop of their masks and here is the review for the Tea Tree mask.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: (http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/shop-by-line/tea-tree/tea-tree-face-mask.aspx)

This instantly cooling face mask cleanses, soothes and refreshes the skin.

• Helps remove impurities
• Absorbs excess oil
• Soothes skin

This mask is best for people who get face wax and are victims to pimples and redness. As soon as you apply it there will be a cooling sensation this helps in reducing the itchiness in pimples and soothes the redness.

According to the website : HOW TO APPLY: 

Smooth a thin layer onto pat-dried skin, clean face and neck with your fingertips. Leave for 5 to 10 minutes (mask will not dry). Then rinse off with clean water and pat skin dry. Use once or twice per week, after cleansing.

This mask should not be used for people who have dry skin very often Once a month is good. As I have dry skin I noticed a dry skin patch when I applied makeup the next day. I would buy the full sized product however because I have acne problems and especially after face wax my face needs some cooling mask. Now I would remember to put on a heavy moisturizer afterwards.

I have heard other users say it helps to remove black heads, I did not notice however maybe after continuous use this fact come up to the surface. 

The result is amazing, my pimples have soothed and redness was reduced.

5 September Favourites!

Hello,

September favorites 

Today I countdown my 5 favorite products for September and they are:

1. E.L.F Small Tapered Brush
2. E.L.F Contouring Blush and Bronzing Creme (St.Lucia)
3. Rimmel Kate Moss no.11
4. Rimmel Vinyl Jelly Lip Gloss Lip Liner 004 Sorbet
5. Bourjois Khol and Contour Eye Pencil no.78 Brun Design

1. The E.L.F small tapered  brush is dome shaped and ideal for precision application. Contouring and highlighting are made easy, if you need to set your concealer with powder this brush will go on dusting the right amount.

2. E.l.F Contouring and blush and bronzer creme duo (St.Lucia) is also holding up pretty nicely. The bronzer stays put throughout the event and does not melt away with heat as to what I experienced could also be due to the primer I have underneath. The pink blush is tricky, lighter application doesn't last and a little bit more can make it look really heavy.

3. Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in no. 11 is my most favorite item for the fall. The formula doesn't dry lips stays put throughout the day or at least the stain will be there (definitely a good investment). My lips are darker and the color comes out similarily to Samba (Pantone color) red. This shade is in this year's fall/winter colors.

4. Rimmel vinyl jelly lip gloss lip liner 004 Sorbet like mentioned in my review, they come out very shimmery. However, due to the dryness of the weather which has started I can't help but reach out for these they are super moisturizing and make your lipstick stay on.

5. Bourjois khol and contour eye pencil no.78 brun design  is not the Clubbing waterproof eye liner but is ever so smooth. The pencil glides like a crayon and is very long lasting. This brown does an excellent job of enhancing my eyes than the black. It smudges easily as well. It can be used for lining your waterline and that stays put as well. I use it for my eyebrows, eye liner and waterline liner.

All of these are Drugstore options and great for long lasting applications. Great value for money and color pay off!

12min Express Mani/Pedi!

Hello,

I just got over a major wedding and my hand and feet were looking gloomy after all the nail color change. I

decided to try out some home products to give myself a mani/pedi.

Take:
1 bowl of warm water
1tsp/1-1/2 tsp of baking soda
2 tbsp almond/olive oil
a little amount of shampoo

Mix these in the bowl and dip your feet and hands for 6 minutes each.

The baking soda will help clean the yellowness on the nails that occurs from consistent nail color application.

Take a nail brush (used for pedicures) or your old toothbrush and gently go over your nails and under the nail

area especially to give a thorough cleanse. Also go over the heel area with the brush. It will take off any dry

skin or dirt.

Wipe your hands and feet with a wash cloth and massage a good body butter. This will keep skin hydrated and shinny.

This is ideal for times you cannot run to the salon for a proper manicure/pedicure.
