10 BEST Makeup Removing Tips

Removing makeup is the most important part of your night time routine, i mean leaving makeup on can make your skin dry, dull, irritated and most of all it causes Acne and other problems like unevenness..

I've decided to create my top 10 tips at removing makeup...follow these and your skin will thank you!

1. Vaseline:
   You may think that I'll be recommending Vaseline, but from personal experience and research I will tell you that Vaseline is one of the worst things you can do for your skin. Vaseline clogs pores, causes styes and trap Bacteria..so keep Vaseline for Lips only!
   
   
   
    
2. Olive/Coconut/Almond/jojoba Oil:
   This is the best and cheapest way to remove makeup..All you have to do is slather on oil on your face and leave it on for a 30-seconds to a few minutes while you rub your face in circular motion (gently)..Think about it..The problem Oily people have is that their skins oil breaks down the makeup, so youre doing exactly that. Wash it off with a cleanser! (oily skin is okay to use this too)
   
   
3. Makeup/baby Wipes:
   I don't trust makeup/baby wipes alone to remove all my makeup, I feel like I don't have the peace of mind, but combined with my oil, I know my skin is good.
   
   
   
4. BlowDry:
   I know it sounds absolutely insane..but blowdrying your face after oiling (don't burn yourself) helps oil seep into your skin, and break down all the makeup and speeds up the process as well. Yup Blowdry is the BEST invention for me EVER! (Look out for a post on How I Use blowdryer for various things)
   
    
   
5. Cold Creams
   Cold Creams work like Oil does, but it takes a lot of cream to slather and remove the makeup..I think its an okay thing, but I wouldn't be comfortable with adding too many chemicals or buying tons of cream when i have oil.
   
   
   
   
6. Avoid store bought removers:
   this stuff is so irritating on my skin, and my skin is extremely strong (knock on wood)...i mean it just doesn't work for me. Besides they don't even work as well, so instead of adding extra chemicals save that money.
   
   
7. cleanser is not enough:
   if you think youre face is getting a thorough clean with just cleanser, think again..So please add a cold cream, oil or cleansing gel.
   
   
    
   
8. Detoxifying/Pore Cleansing Mask:
   I cannot tell you how much doing this once a week on a cleansed face helps my skin, it literally cleans out my pores. Just doing it once a week helps my skin clean out and look its best.
   
   
   
   
9. Witch Hazel and Retinol
   Use Witch Hazel once every few days on a cleansed face...I feel like using watch hazel has helped my skin since It started going downhill once i started wearing my MAC studio Sculpt everyday (Long shifts at work) So try to use it instead of your toner..(I use it every few days). I also use a non-prescription retinol cream to help my skin, I only use it at night (DO NOT WEAR IT DURING THE DAY WITHOUT SUNSCREEN)..
   
   
   
10. Wear less makeup:
    nothings unsexier than a Cake Face..so avoid all that and go for a tinted moisturizer and use a concealer for trouble spots. If you HAVE to wear a foundation with more coverage, try Maybelline Fit me or Nars Sheer glow, these foundations give you that polished look without the heaviness.

Get the look: Candice Swanepoel Purple Satin Makeup

Base
Start the face off with moisturizer and Primer *wear sunscreen if youre wearing this during the day*
Use a mattifying foundation like MAC Studio Tech *cream*
Fill in your brows..make sure theyre not too dark 

Eyes
Use a lavender color shadow *preferably a little satiny..otherwise a matte one is fine, just go over it lightly with the rose gold shadow* and apply it all over your lid. Use a darker purple Matte eye shadow and apply it to the outter corners. Take a Rose Gold shadow *Peach shadow from the NYX nude on nude pallete is great*
and put it on the inner corners, and take the brush and blend it towards the lid.
Use a darker color and brush it around on the lower lash line.
Take a nude liner and line the lower lash line, and use a black liner to tight line add a little black liner on the bottom lash line too. 
Do Candice's signature Cat Eye liner with a wing. Load on the Mascara or wear some sexy wispy lashes!!

Cheeks
Use a matte bronzer to bronze your skin a bit/contour and then add a coral blush *use a very light* on the apple of your cheeks.


Lips:
Use a purple fade pink like Rimmell Asia to the lips

Vitamin C Skin mask

Hey guys, So i've been doing the Vitamin C to fade hair dye so I decided to do my own face mask, since its great at brightening and lightening dark spots..

Finely mill vitamin c pills or buy powder and take 2-3 table spoon in a bowl and add Aloe Gel with a half a tea spoon of lemon juice. Mix it into a paste! *try for 1000mg or more*

Apply it to your face and leave it on for min 10 minutes and 30 minutes MAX..let it dry!

and wash it off with Warm water :D

My Tip: I usually slather on some Freeman Enzyme Mask over the vitamin C mask after it has dried. Leave it on till it dries.

Hot Celebrities that need to go Brunette

Kate Upton
This blonde bombshell has claimed to fame as the voluptuous unorthodox model. Kate is very girl next door, blonde babe and shes pretty much a baywatch babe! But as a model, she needs to change it up too. A Brunette hue will give the babe a more demure look, which will take away some of her cookie cutter beach bunny appeal.

Ashley Olsen
Ashley has been a brunette before, but as a busy fashion designer and business owner, She doesn't have much time. Blonde locks need more care and help when it comes to the color department, its pretty easy for blonde to look dirty and unkept.

American Idol success Carrie should really consider going brunette, she has a great look.

Jennifer Aniston
Seriously Jenn have you ever considered changing up your hair do!! How about some color. Those silky bombshell blonde hair is great, but you're getting a little old..go darker, you'll look more age appropriate...Try a lustrous ash brown. Maybe Brad prefers Brunettes.

Hayden always looks sun kissed and glowing, shes super cute and blonde is great for her, but I do see her eyes always being skipped by my eyes. She has stunning peepers so why not go darker and put more focus on her golden skin and piercing eyes.

Co-Wash Plan

With all the healthy hair posts that I've done, I've come to a realization that it takes a lot more than a healthy hair routine for you to get sexy naturally healthy hair.

I've been a die hard blow dryer lately, and its made me realize the error of my ways.

Recently, I noticed how disgusting and unclean my hair looked, it was sticky and unmanageable, and although I did neglect my own advice and healthy hair routine and treatments, I think it's safe to say my diet and stress is playing a huge role in it as well. I've been wanting to Co-Wash for quite sometime, I always read about it and people boasted about their sexy silky strands, and even youtubers with gorgeous hair.

Till now I thought Co-Wash is for Black girls, that had kinky dry hair, but I was corrected.


After careful research and analyzing my own personal hair needs, I think I'm ready to began my hair journey.

Step 1:
No matter what you do, you're diet and lifestyle plays a huge role in what you look like, so skip the burgers and opt for a delicious healthy shawarma and plain water.Take your vitamins

Step 2:
Analyze your hair, if you're hair is normal, you might not need to go hard like us Dry-ladies. My hair is super dry, and I've been giving myself anxiety because I think I have bubble hair and I know i  have crinkle damage. With all those sexy curls I rocked all of 2012, it's safe to say I'm going to Hair Hell.

Step 3
This is the main step....The Plan..alter this according to your hair.
