Kiss your dry skin goodbye!

I have the perfect home remedy for dry skin that is cheap, quick, natural and effective. All you have to do is follow these steps:


Step 1 Rinse your face with cool water

Step 2 Add a teaspoon of baking soda into the palm of your hand than mix it together with your face wash. You can also mix the baking soda with water but I prefer mixing it with my face wash. The face wash that I use is Cetaphil.

Step 3 Apply the paste with your fingertips gently in small circles over your dry areas of the skin.

Step 4 Rinse completely with cool to lukewarm water.

Step 5 Pat dry your face. 

Step 6 Apply your moisturizer to your face. I use Argan oil.

This makes a great exfoliating scrub. I do this for my skin twice a week.

Lets Talk Contour!

My favourite part about doing make up is the contouring. I’ll never leave my face without contouring and highlighting when I’m doing my make-up. You can use any type of bronzer for contouring just remember ladies when contouring make sure that you're using a bronzer that is at least 4-5 shades darker then what you are. 
One of my favourite bronzers that I use to contour my face is the Hoola bronzer by Benefit Cosmetics. I love this product because it leaves your skin with a natural looking tan and it's a pure matte colour with no sparkles or shine. I personally don’t like to use any bronzers that have sparkles or spine in them so I stick with just a matte colour when choosing bronzers for myself. This is why I prefer this bronzer because it will give you that dark contouring look. 
Here are some pictures of me with a full contour and highlighting face with using the Hoola bronzer. I will also be posting a step-by-step with how I achieve my contour and highlighting look and with all the products and brushes that I use so stayed tuned!




Ladies what are your favorite bronzers to use for contouring?

Green Glow Smoothie

Green Glow Smoothie is a delicious smoothie that is quick and easy to make and allows you to get your full servings of veggies. Not only is this smoothie a good way to get your veggies in but it also helps to decrease acne, clear your skin, and leaves your skin feeling smooth. This smoothie also helps with many other things such as: increasing your energy levels and speeding your hair and nail growth. I have been drinking this smoothie everyday for 2 weeks for breakfast and I love it. I have already seen results in my skin and it makes me feel so energetic. 


Here is the recipe below: 

1 cup cold filtered water
3 cups spinach, chopped
1 cup romaine, chopped
1/2 apple, chopped
1/2 pear, chopped
1/2 banana, chopped
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice



















*Add water, spinach and romaine to the blender. Start the blender on a low speed; mix until smooth
*Gradually move to a higher speed than add the pear and apple 
*Add the banana and lemon juice last


Enjoy!

Dose of Colors

Spring has finally sprung ladies! It's time to get your new Spring lips on!

Dose of Colors is a make-up website where they sell lipsticks, lipgloss, and lashes. I have recently purchased some new Spring colors from the website and I'm absolutely in love with them. They have an awesome color selection that is just prefect for Spring and Summer. Even the prices are amazing for the lipsticks and lipgloss. The best part is that they ship internationally too. 

My absolute most favourite lipstick is called "Love Potion" it gives you such a fabulous look and is perfect for a night out. 



Another reason why I just cant get enough of these lipsticks is because they last very long on the lips. I had a night out a few weeks ago and I applied "Love Potion" on and when I came home I fell asleep without taking my make-up off and I woke up with the lipstick still perfectly on my lips like I just applied it. 

Here are some photos of the lipgloss and lipsticks that I've purchased from Dose of Colors. They have more colors on their website that I will need to order because I just love them all.





Lipgloss
Burning Love

I've also came across another website for lipsticks that have a large variety of colors that are amazing. I will be be ordering them sortly too test them out so stay tuned for another post about some more fabolous lipgloss and lipsticks to wear for an everyday look and for a night out.
