humid weather & dry skin

I know there are a lot of beauty gurus and females out there who have the heart of an entrepreneur, therefore,  I think INC is super useful.  I subscribe to their newsletters and I get a lot of really useful and interesting articles, not to mention lessons on leadership, marketing, sales, etc.. =) I highly recommend this site! Try it and let me know if it's useful for you =) During my visit to Wisconsin a couple months ago, I used my Rimmel's Fix & Perfect Primer, liquid eyeliner, some blush, and a darker red lipstick with hair tied in a bun. I recently realize that my skin does better and has less zits in places that are more humid. This is strange since my skin was very oily- but now it is rather dry, even before Fall approache! If your skin has recently become more dry due to increase in temperature as October is ending, try what I've been doing for this past week- use olive oil .   I just put some on my face and leave it over night because my other moist...

Fall Night 2010 Look (my most improved makeup work so far)

I'm blogging crazy tonight. I've been practicing with makeup once again. Eyebrows One problem I have is I don't know how to fill in my brows, I have watched many YouTube gurus' tutorials on the art of filling in brows, but I can't do it yet. Is it because all the hairs are growing in one way and they should be trimmed more? Face Primer & foundations stippling brush & method   New thing I've tried is mixing my Rimmel's Fix (left) & Perfect Face Primer & my Missha BB cream #23 together (right). BB creams are great because they are suppose to help with blemishes and it's good for your skin, yet the color choices are rather limited, and well, it comes off with a "white cast." it's one of the recent hottest products in Asia. Therefore I mixed it with my Fix & Perfect (left) to give it some color, mattify the skin, and to even out the skin tone.   Why I rarely wear foundations Like I've mentioned in my pr...

A beginner bringing beauty to the eyes =)

I am merely a beginner in the world of makeup beautification.  I came into the makeup world a bit more late than other women and most of the blogs that I am following and learning from.  I have been dedicating some time to practice before sleeping and or early in the morning so that I can improve my skills and play with different colors and texture; kind of like painting or coloring a picture. This collage include some of the eye shadow colors and looks that I have been practicing. I try to take pictures of them and ask for feedbacks from others. I used to be afraid of criticism, but now, I am trying to not fear criticism, but be it's colleague.   Like I said, I'm a  beginner -) but we all have to start somewhere right? Other than special events and and those random days, I still am very much a tomboy at heart.  Some of the colors may resemble each other because the camera does whiten out the vibrancy of them but they are all different.  Most of the ti...

The perfect blush "Sunset" by Josie Maran, What's yours?

I've recently went to the biggest mall I have ever been to in my life and I took some pictures of some of the "stores" that stood out to me.   I have yet gone to many malls in my lifetime and so I thought this mall was HUGE, it had EVERYTHING. The one I was most excited about and stood there and just stared? LANCOME! I have always seen LANCOME at Macys, but never on its own. It is very chic, I love the huge poster of Julia Roberts, and it was awesome how they had lipsticks displayed in the back glass window, each had its own glass compartment. I love the way LANCOME displayed their products, the structure, and overall design of its store.   I did not know until recently that MAC was owned by Estee Lauder, but of course, MAC was always packed. ORIGINS, I was not well aware of this brand until later on, but the appearance and structure was very eco friendly, well that's the basis of it's brand. I really like the way they hung the containers of the...
