Powder Puffing

As a professional makeup artist by weekends and an office based person by week days, makeup and looking flawless for long hours is a norm for me. It's tough and rough on my skin and my routines take a lashing, But on the upside.... I must say through warmer days my face oils up especially on my T-zone or my makeup looks blotchy  in those areas and needs setting by 2pm. I have been using the essence translucent powder for just over a month, and their formula for their translucent powder seems to do wonders with my make-up for daily use. The make-up sets and looks flawless and does not blotch on hot days. I found that it sets my makeup leaving it with a matte finish and does not cake on my face or clog my pores.

Look 10 Years Younger

Look 10 Years Younger With This Healthy Miracle Face Mask Japanese ladies are doing this for years. Maybe this is the magical  face mask  they use to look younger.

We often ask what’s the secret? – How do they manage to look like they are 30 their whole life?  Thinking about this I found a recipe that could do miracles.  It involves rice, milk and honey. Nothing special. When the nutritional benefits of all three ingredients mix up, you have to get your desired result. The main ingredient here is rice, so here are the best benefits of using rice: With that being said, I think

Salon beauty treatments versus DIY home treatments my beauty Dilemma

I’m such a girlie, girl at times it amazes me. I use to be this Tom boy who climbed trees, played soccer on the street, down to dressing in just jeans and t-shirts with sneakers all my life till the end of high school. At the tender age of 17 while studying various things that sparked my interest and I was forced into the real world and the real working world. The world’s are tales apart from school life. I had to dress up in suits and have my hair pinned up and my face had to be flawless daily. My word was it a struggle, I knew nothing about beauty routines and fashion trends. I had turned to my trusted friend, Google and began my search on grooming and taming myself for work. I began with simple adjustments to style and makeup but my skin took a beating with the heavy dose of daily makeup and my body was drained from working my skin became dull and I was no longer vibrant as my character. It was then I realised I had to visit a beauty salon on a monthly, to have my skin scrub
