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.

Take care and join me:

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.

Review: Rimmel Vinyl Jelly Lip Pencil

Hello beauty addicts,

Rimmel Vinyl Jelly lip pencils

Today I will review the vinyl jelly Rimmel lip pencils in 001 and 004. The lip pencils are in a smooth crayon texture not like the traditional pencil with pointed tip. The tip is blunt and glides smoothly.

The colors are frosted when you apply, not at all matte. The color 001(Moreish) is a baby doll/pale pink but the frosted shimmer makes it more whitish.

The color 004(Sorbet) is a coral color even thought the shimmer is prominent more color comes out in this than 001.

Rimmel vinyl jelly pencils have are decently long lasting. The also do a good job of keeping lipsticks, put on top. If most of it is gone there will be at least be a tint.

Left: 001-Moreish, Right:004 Sorbet

It doesn't leave lips feeling dry. However, I have noticed the product is used up quite quickly. After one use you will be reaching to sharpen every time.
