Do it yourself Shrinking Pores Mask

One of my biggest personal beauty problem is big pores. I will be on a journey, well, okay, frugal journey to find ways and products to reduce the size of my pores. I am really excited about this book because it contains so many beauty secrets Shalini Vadhera has accumulated on her journey around the world. I've found one beauty secret from her book on how to shrink pores when she was in the East. Here it is, I will hopefully be able to try it soon to see how it works!

"At the Banyan Tree Spa in Singapore, these beauties know that a flawless complexion is the trick to a great-looking makeup.  They create wonderful masks that help to remove blemishes, lighten the complexion, tighten pores, and soften skin.  Sounds like a miracle to me! Of course, after seeing how beautiful the women in Singapore, I was the first pereson in line to try it."

+1/2 teaspoon of milk powder
+1 teaspoon of hot water

Steps:

Shalini's Beauty Tip
"If you're like me and breakouts leave nasty dark spots on your face, the Banyan Tree Face Mask can be a face saver.  Remember that when doing any type of lightening to the skin, you must wear a sunscreen that's at least an SPF 15 on your face every day; otherwise, your dark spots will reappear after some time in the sun."

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner   in  Blackest Black  is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such.  Would I repurchase this product again?  Yes, I really want to   eggplant .  In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading).  I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time.    I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had ...

I'm grateful for work =)

The weather has been sooo cold here in Northern California, much colder than last year =(  I don't think I can ever imagine myself living anywhere but the warm states, unless its New York and there's no need to drive with the subway/cabs. Ay, with the 30 for 30 challenge, I have been so uncreative, but now that I'm starting to work, I'll be more out of the box of my typical self and practice wearing different makeup at the same time.  I'm so grateful because I finally found a part time job and after the first day of work (yesterday), I was so tired and end up sick. From now on, I will make sure to keep myself warm and wear tons of layers of clothing because it is so easy to get sick in this type of weather. One of most dislike situations is being sick- it just makes you feel helpless and weak. I'm gong to make sure I work extra hard and always do my best because I'm so grateful to have found it. How do people work full time, go to school, and still raise...

First Goodbye

  This specific day I said goodbye to something, the first of its kind in my life.It is difficult to let go when something has become part of your life and you will not be the same after it is gone.  I will do my best to focus on other things in my life and getting things done.  I don't regret it though, I'm grateful because we are not rocks nor stones that are untouchable and life brings us events and people to change our lives. Thank you for everything you have given me I now have a thing for rings and earrings, long earrings. The one above is my favorite (Charlotte Russe), it reminds me of mango leaves for some reason and  that leads to the book The House on Mango Street that I will read by the end of this year. Have you ever been in an experience where you never want to be in ever again? I never want to be so cold again, therefore, I always wear a small camsole (is that right?) inside all of my shirts.  I think i'm kind of into lacey clothing items. ...
