Brushes I use everyday - Natural Daily Look

Image
Salut mes belles demoiselles ;) This post is about all the brushes and tools I use on daily basis, mostly to perform a natural, day-time look. Beauty Blender: I use a beauty blender to apply my BB cream. I sue it damo and usually spray Fix+ on it so  can achieve the maximum glow ! I also use the Beauty Blender to apply my concealer. It helps in getting rid of any excess product and gives a flawless finish. Sigma Tapered Highlighter: I use the Sigma Tapered Highlighter to set my concealer so it moves NOWHERE. Its small size makes it possible to reach all under eye are. Real Techniques Powder Brush: I use this brush to lightly set my BB cream especially in my T zone. Sigma Blush Brush: I love that the Sigma Blush Brush is in a angular shape. So I sue it for bronzing. It is fluffy enough to distribute the bronzer but not to exceed the under cheek bones area. Real Techniques Blush Brush: I use this brush to apply the blush on my ch

How to take care of your Non-Mink Lashes - last for more than 5 wears

Hello Bellas: When I stick to one pair of lashes and that pair becomes my ultimate favorite that I want to wear each and every single day of my life. This is when I discovered how to maintain non mink lashes so they can last longer. Most of the lashes that I wear are so popular and known, so it is almost impossible for me to get the lashes I want whenever I like. They are most of the time out of stock. So I started following these steps and they improved the life of my lashes: Pull the lashes out of their tray very softly: when you get your lashes brand new in the packaging tray, pull the lashes out of the tray using tweezers very gently. Do not take them off harshly as this could deform the lashes style or at least damage their band. Do not apply Mascara over them: When applying false lashes, it is essential to apply mascara for your own lashed so they do not appear grey-ish under your falsies. It is not pleasant looking at all. Always apply your mascara before apply

House of lashes - Iconic Lashes

Since the first day I checked house of lashes website, I was attracted to this style, the iconic lashes.  the iconic lashes is very complementary for any eye shape. They are not the thickest lashes in the website, however their density is so convenient, and the gradual length of lashes starting with short ones in the inner corner of the lash and getting fuller and longer in the outer corner, makes the lashes create a cat eye or elongated eye effect immediately.  These lashes are so fluffy, so soft and very easy to wear. Their band line is not stiff at all. and the curve to the eye shape very easily. They are made of synthetic hair I believe. So they can be worn up to 5 times maximum. However, I never stick to these rules, I can get away with wearing them up to 8-10 times. I take really good care of them. - I will write a post about how to elongate the life span of your lashes soon. With those lashes my eyes seem bigger and awake. They compliment each a

The replacement for MAC Face & Body Foundation !!!

Hello Bellas: I lived for MAC Face & Body Foundation. My friends name me after this foundation. It is very watery, sheer, glow-y, very suitable for day-time usage and very natural on the skin. It never clogs the pores or becomes cake-y on the face. It is very build-able to medium coverage, very applicable on the neck as it does not set in the lines.I LOVE IT. I love the way it works on the skin, when you start buffing it on the skin, the water in it is absorbed by the skin leaving very fine and photo-shopped finish on the face!!! UGGHHH it was my best!! BUT, It is unavailable lately!! I heard that MAC has discontinued it! as easy!! anyway, I suffered alittle, then I found the holy grail, MAKE UP FOR EVER FACE & BODY FOUNDATION! OH MY GOD!! I like it as much as I like the MAC one. So sheer, illuminating, beautiful finish, medium coverage, perfect for blending cream products above it. Simply it is perfection, especially when knowing that 75% of this foundation is
