At last, my Review on the Sigmax Flat Top Retractable Kabuki  with loads of pictures, im excited hehe :) I got this cute little brush in my mail, ThankYou Sigma Makeup ! The first look made me fall in love with it :) What Do They Say About it? Get some Hollywood Glamour! The Sigma Makeup retractable flat top kabuki is the easiest way to apply powder products such as blush, bronzer, foundation, and highlighter on-the-go.

Hmm starting off with the packaging, its a really cute brush for my collection..you can see in the picture above, i have taken off the lid..and there are no brush bristles visible!

simple twisted updo hairstyle: how to

Image
hey everyone! more often than not, here in the UK, it rains. and on those wet and windy days it's important for us ladies to have a hairstyle that doesn't mind being blown around or getting a little damp - a hairstyle that doesn't mind a little frizz or wave appearing, or being a little out of place. my hair is naturally wavy, frizzy and curly - a total mess in wet and windy weather. so, instead of going for my usual bun or ponytail or hat 'do', i decided it was time to try out some braided looks, as they are far more elegant and pretty. ♥ so, this is what i eventually came up with:

7 Genius Lipstick Tricks ~ InStyle

Hmm another post from  InStyle  :) Here are their seven Genius Lipstick Tricks Find Your Perfect Pink Unsure of which pink is best for you? Just smile; your perfect shade is about the same color as your gums ~ no lighter. Make Lipstick Last To keep your color in place, fill the entire lip with neutral pencil before applying lipstick. If necessary, roll the tip in the palm of your hand to warm it up and prevent hard lines Create a Custom Shade Turn any lip color into a shimmery new shade: Swipe sheer golden gloss over lipstick ~ it instantly warms up every color Shape Lips Sans Liner Give the illusion of two perfect peaks without lining lips: Just dab concealer in the groove at the center of your upper lip and blend well. Use Powder for the Perfect Nude Lip Start with a pale pink shade, then dust translucent powder on top for a matte effect. “I call it a powdered lip look,” says makeup artist Robin Fredriksz, who has used the technique on Drew Barrymore. Use Powder for the Perf...

sea salt mask for acne

here's another thing which is cheap, easy, logical and worth trying if you suffer from acne anywhere on your body. this was first 'discovered' when people with acne came back from a beach holiday with clearer, smoother skin. hmm, the sea salt water must be a natural exfoliating cleanser! and of course it is - it's highly anti-bacterial and exfoliating too, which helps eliminate the acne bacteria as well as leave your skin glowing. i use a salt water rinse on my face every other evening, which seems to help reduce redness as well as making my skin a more even texture. and the areas where i had broken out are healing over quite nicely. i've been doing this for about two weeks now, and definitely notice an improvement in my skin. for more success stories and reviews, check out: makeupalley , acne.org , healthboards , shimmer kisser , acne under control . the evidence is quite compelling in itself... it's important to use good salt! don't go using fine table sal...
