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.

Maybelline Fit me Foundation

http://d1535dk28ea235.cloudfront.net/preset_64/maybelline_fit_me.jpg

Maybelline fit me is my HG foundation, I've been using it for a long time, and I absolutely love it. I have bought 4-5 bottles of this shampoo, and haven't dabble to any other foundation.

So I'm going to review it for you guys, so you guys can find your perfect fit!
I will also include some personal tips and tricks ;)
  1. This foundation is Sheer-Medium coverage, but it's very buildable without looking cakey.
  2. It has a great selection of colors, and a lot of them are yellow toned, so it's perfect for my warm ladies.
  3. Its long lasting and Non oxidizing
  4. It does transfer
  5. It gives a flawless dewey finish
  6. This is great for dry skin girlies, i suggest the oily girls go for something else.
  7. SPF for that extra sun protection I love
  8. easy to blend and use
  9. No pump
  10. Cheap and readily available...Dupe of Nars Sheer Glow


    Tips and Tricks
  •  I use this with a stippling brush, to get that soft airbrush feel.
  • Use a mattifying powder if you get a little bit oily
  • Use a layer and then powder it, and then restipple some more if you want extra coverage.

How to become Popular

A lot of high school girls want to be popular, and be the center of attention. But now days, girls have been doing that the wrong way, with risque pictures and videos or straight out bullying. I was pretty popular in high school, and had a pretty okay reputation, growing up from that, I can refine my choices and provide a better guide.
Be the best version of yourself you can be
Hair: Get a haircut, add some color/highlights, Hair treatments *all natural prefered* and Gorgeous hairstyles
Makeup: Don't pack on makeup, stick to sheer/medium foundation if you MUST wear it..and neutral makeup
Skin: To have good skin, you have to have a great skin care routine, see what works for you and take care of your skin
Body: Eat Healthy and Work out


Wear fashionable clothes..you don't need brand names to be a fashionista, work with accessories and styles that suit your body.

Have a vast interests, join clubs and teams..this is a great way to broaden your horizons
Make friends that are adventurous and confident, this will help boost your own confidence. Also don't just stick to a handful of friends.. be friend everybody and anybody, this will help others know you are. Also this will help people see how nice and accepting you are, and more people would want to talk to you and be your friend.
Go out with guys that are outgoing and fun. Avoid controlling close minded losers.
Don't offer up the goods, because highschool love doesn't last, and no body truly likes a hoe.
Limit what you share on Social Media...avoid compromising photos and posts, which can push you off the pedestal really quickly..
Study HARD! Being gorgeous and funny can only take you so far, you need to be able to hold a conversation and be successful. It's important to have kick ass grades!!

Have self-confidence, you can only change so much, you will NEVER look like Adriana Lima or Miranda Kerr, so it's better to set realistic goals. When you're confident, theres a glow to you, that shows others " LOOK she's a happy well adjusted individual who loves herself, this is who you want to emulate"

Being a bitch is a hollywood thing, seriously by bullying someone, you're loosing a great potential friend. Be a friendly and empathetic person. Stick up for someone that is being bullied, and see how much you will be appreciated.

Stay up to date with the current music, and try to listen to all kinds of music and pay attention to Pop culture. Also it doesn't hurt to be up to date on your celeb gossip.

Waxing story + Best/Worst Waxer






I've been obsessed with hair removal ever since I was a kid. When I wasn't allowed to shave or wax, i tried to use tape and scissors to get rid of hair...needless to say it didnt work.

http://kimchisayswhat.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/moniquelegs1.jpg
 My legs are little bit less hairy then Moniques, but they are still hairy as fuck!


I absolutely hate hair, I have a weird phobia when it comes to hair, i hate it.

Feminists can kiss my hairy legs! because I really like my legs to be smooth and sexy and thats my choice...












So I paid a trip to sallys, after my sister updated me on waxing at home. I use to use Veet ready to use Wax strips, but i switched to hot wax after a talk with my sister.





Having tried
Sugaring, which really didnt work for me, and didnt even pull 2 hair out, I was skeptical to try GIGI all purpose HONEE, thinking it would be sugaring...I picked up Suddenly Smooth wax (Aloe Vera and Deluxe Cream formula)

For the 2 years that I've been waxing myself with strip wax after Veet, i had great results but the hair almost always grew back within 2 days..i was sick of it...

The hair were breaking, they werent being pulled properly and i had these hideous bumps after..which is okay considering i yanked the hair out of my skin..but seriously stubble after pulling the strip is proof enough!!




I deserve Smooth legs!


I just went to sallys today and picked up GIGI All Purpose Honee after researching it extensively, and I couldnt wait to come home and try it... I waxed my face, even though there wasnt much hair on it, i had a regrowth...and wowwwwwww GIGI pulled out those little tiny hair with ease and minimal pain...compared to DELUXE cream wax..which pulled my skin out too....I didn't prep with anything but regular baby powder...and it worked soo well..


I will update when I wax my legs, I'm saving up the hairyness for valentines day, so I can be smooth and perfect for my date..even if the wax doesn't work...i know ill have smooth legs for that day alone..:D



BEST WAX so FAR: GIGI ALL PURPOSE HONEE


WORST WAX: SUDDENLY SMOOTH DELUXE CREAM WAX and PARISSA SUGAR


 I will also be using GIGI SLOW GROW so will review that too:D
