Product I've Been Loving: St. Ives Apricot Scrub

Hello, gorgeous!

Today I will be talking to you about a prodcut that I've been using for two months now and I really love it!
I'm not big on scrubs becuse my skin is sensitive and it reacts badly with anything strong, but I decided to try St. Ives scrub because I've read many good things about it and it exfoliates lightly! So I tried it and it turned out to be amazing! It's so delicate on my skin and it clears it out and removes any oil on T-zone, it gives your skin a lovely soft feel to it. The thing is it doesn't exfoliate at all, and that's why I liked it, I don't want any exfoliation but it does brighten your skin slightly.


As you can see it is oil free so it is perfect for those who have oily skin. I believe it would work with those who have acne because it is light and it wouldn't damage the skin.


As you can see it has 3 different beads in it that help with cleansing your skin and clearing your pores! It also smells good and refreshing.

I honestly would give this product 9.5 out of 10 because it really suits my skin type which is; combination.

Have a good day

Health & Lifestyle: Five Healthy Delicious Smoothies.

Hello lovelies!

So recently, I started trying to be healthy. I wanted to try at least to become healthier and not entirely healthy, instead of eating lots of junk food and unhealthy snacks!
Healthy food is NOT disgusting and not delicious! It is the opposite.


To become healthy you need to figure out the vegtables, fruits, nuts, etc... that suit you and your cravings. Which is the only hard part of it all, after that you'll start maintaining a wonderful healthy style that will keep your whole entire body healthy, fit, & in a great shape.
And by healthy I don't mean "Skinny", being skinny doesn't mean being healthy, & being plus sized doesn't mean unhealthy.

So to encourage you all and myself to become healthier I thought I should start with smoothies! Since they're drinks and not a meal it will be easier to start with them.

Here are five healthy delicious smoothies!


Protein Power


Lean Green


All-Day Energizer


All-Veg


Pre-Game Boost

There are tons of smoothie recepies online! If you try those and you want to try more, you can search and find lots of great recipes.

I hope you enjoyed this post!

Have a good day,
xoxo

Fall 2012 Make Up Trends.


Hello lovelies!
Today I will be sharing with you six fall make up trends for 2012.
You don't have to wear all of these trends but it is a quick look on what the celebrites and models will be wearing.
So it seems as usual that burgundy colored lips are back, also brown smoky eyes, and strong brows!

Let's get started!



1-Mulberry Mouths
This is a constant fall trend which I love! It is a wearable trend too, I am sure I will be rocking it this fall.



2- Futuristic Eyes
This a lovely not very wearable trend, obviously for occasions and such. But it is still a lovely trend!



3- Defined Brows
I think defined brows are the ultimate trend for 2012! I honestly prefer thick brows rather thin ones.



4- Mesmerizing Multi-Toned Eyes
This a beautiful trend, where you get to be creative with your eyes and play with colors. I love the colored mascara and it adds a very pretty touch.



5- Fresh & Natural Faces
Having a fresh face during this time of the year is a must, a flawless glowing skin with a touch of blush is always good.



6- Smoky Browns
A smoky eye look adds a beautiful thing to the eyes, it works for many eye colors, and it is very easy to do!

I hope you enjoyed this post

Dreamcatcher Nail Art Design.

Hello, lovelies!

Today I will be showing you probably the most time consuming nail art desgin!
It is this pretty dreamcatcher design and dreamcatcher are one of the many things that I love!
It is a difficult design but with practice it'll be easy.


Let's get started!



Start off by applying any kind of dark or pastal shade, I chose this purple gray color!

Using a very thin art brush dip it into black polish and create half a cirlcle like shown.


Create a triangle on the uper side of the circle.

Create another triangle facing the previous one then add to lines next to the first triangle.

Connect the previous lines with lines coming from the second trinagle like shown.

Draw lines from the lines we connected previously.

Draw around the lower part of the nail and draw 3 lines coming out of the dreamcatcher.

Add white dots on the places shown.

Using a dotting tool dot on a peachy colored nail polish on the shown lines.

Add a blue dot to the middle line.

Apply a clear naipolish and you're done.


Enjoy!

All Time Make Up Routine.


Hello, everyone!

Today I thought of showing the products that I use most of the time to do my make up at any time. I don't wear make up daily because I find it damaging to both skin & eyes so I try to keep it minimum most of the time! 
I have combination skin which means that my face is dry to normal and my t-zone which is; nose between eyebrows and chin, is oily which is completely normal for girls my age.

1- First I apply a lotion all over my face and sunblock if it's morning time

2- I use MAC's Pro Longwear concealer all of the time! It gives an amazing coverage and lasts all day. I use it under my eyes, around my nose, and on any blemshes that I might have.

3- I apply MAC's Studio Fix with a buffing brush all over my face and focusing it manily on my t-zone, I use it as a foundation and it works very well and it doesn't make your face look powdery at all.

4- Then I use Benefit's Moon Beam highlighter on my cheekbones, it gives a beautiful healthy glow to my face.


5- Moving on to blush, I use literally a touch of this blush because it's very pigmented and it gives the most perfect natural pink cheeks look! 



6- For eyeshadows, I use Urban Decay Snakebite on my uper and lashline, for the uper lashline I press it into my lashline drawing a slightly winged line and blend it softly, for the lower lashline I just apply it smoothly and blend it. I use Urban Decay's Foxy eyeshadow on my brow bone and inner corners.


7- This step depends on my mood, sometimes after blending the shadow to my lashlines I draw a thin winged line using Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliner or inside my waterline.

8- Last but not least I use my all time favorite mascara which is Maybline's Colossal mascara on my top and buttom lashes, this mascara is the absolute best!


9- For the brows I use a touch of Urban Deacy's Blackout shadow and fill in my brows but very lightly then I comb through them with an eyebrow comb so they look very natural.

10- Lastly I put on my favortite lipgloss which is Revlon Strawberry Fraise and sometimes I switch up to darker colors or pinks.

That is it for my all time make up routine, it is very simple and it only takes me 10 minutes to do and it really suits my face! I think that everyone has their own routine which suits them best, but sharing this might help some of you out there!

Have a lovely day

xoxo
