Quick Tips for October

Hey everyone, welcome to my blog!.....today's topic is something new. I am still going to do my favorites of october inculding music, food, clothes, and beauty items but I wanted to add another post about the specific NEW tips that I learned in the month of octeber! so lets get started
Tip #1:Get a base coat
For the longest time i would always HATE putting on nail polish because it wouldnt stay on for more than a day! Finally, just a week ago, I bought a base coat at walgreens because it looked like a clear nice color. Thinking I was buying a light creamy white color, i stupidly bought it and when i got home i was dissapointed. Not wanting to waste the product I reluctantly put it on under my nail polish and polish stayed on for a whole week and a half! I wonder if other people are having the same problem so I wanted to share this one tip with you. The basecoat i reccomend is Sinfulcolor's base coat in 902.

Tip #2: No moisturizer?
Hold the phone!! no moistruizer? every skin needs moisturizer even oily skin! it can protect your skin's moisture and protect it from the sun. But still, even the mediacated acne moisturizer's still don't fade marks or really clear up acne...so what are we suppose to do? Well one night over october, I ran out of moisturizer and had nothing else to use but my fade cream. I used it all over my face instead of just spot treatment. The next morning almost all my big acne spots were reduced dramastically, within a week my skin was clear and major spots started to dimish!! Haven't you ever heard that if you use a spot treatment that has benzoyl peroxide that when you put MORE on the spot then it clears it up faster. No one exactly knows why but it does. I think this is the same reason for the fade cream. Try it for a week and you'll be amazed!! The fade cream I reccomend is the Ambi fade cream for normal skin.

Tip #3: OIL?!.........ON MY FACE?!
ok so don't be so mad at me yet! this actually does work, and it doesn't break me out!! After I put on my fade cream in the morning, I take a sweet almond mint oil and put a little bit on my hand and PAT it on my face, do not rub. After putting on my foundation, concealer, and powder, i dont need a highlighter to get dewyness, the oil is shinning threw and making my skin glow but the powder is making my skin matte and flawless. Try it!! the oil that i reccomend is the WEN by Chaz Dean sweet almond mint oil because it containts all natural ingredients that don't break me out.

Tip #4: Scent in weird places....
Ok so this may get a little weird but I promise this will help soo much!! So to keep my self smelling nice for the majority of the day, I take my spray and spray it inside my bra and on the back of  my neck. The reason why I spray inside my bra is because scent sticks to hot areas and to cloth. Whenever someone is talking to me, they will immediatly smell my scent and will love it. Also I spray my scent on the back of my neck, The hairs on the back are suppose to grab scent like no other place in the body. The scent that I reccomend is warm vanilla sugar from bath and body works

Tip #5: wait....so I dont apply blush on the apples of my cheeks?!
Ok, so i'm assuming that all of you watch beauty videos on youtube. When watching a tutorial, there are countlese people telling you to smile, and apply the blush on your cheeks. DONT DO IT!! i dont know where they heard this from but you not always smiling, so why  would you put blush on the apples if when you unsmile(?) they are not really on the apples of your cheeks but near your nose! Instead apply your blush in a buffed out line towards you hairline and your nostril. This will give you a glow and look wayy more natural. Also, try a cream blush....The cream blush I reccomend is the maybelline dream moussee blush in coffee cake.
Hope  you like these tips :))

beauty products you should own!

Hi everyone! welcome to my blog...today's topic is going to be another cool one. This is going to be a topic on the top beauty products that you should own right now. So lets get started!!
#1: Signature Perfume
every women needs their own perfume, something that makes them feel sexy and beautiful. Whether it be a warm musky scent, or a floral, fruity scent, so investing in a quality perfume is a must!
#2: A good Concealer
Don't waste your money time and time again settling for a 7 dollar concealer. If you need to pay $25 dollars for a good concealer, do it. You need this concealer to cover dark circles, blemishes, pimples, anything.
#3: Red Nail Polish
If you a real beauty buff, you know that red accessories whether they be lipstick, a handbag, or a dress is a must! investing in a quality red nail polish that suits your skin tone to a tee, is must too. If you can find your right shade of red lipstick then try to compare it to a red nail polish. Red nail polishes can also make you look very classy and sophisticated.
#4: Exfoliating scrub
I highly, highly, highly recommend adding a exfoliating scrub to your regime. This can actually help clear any acne and impurities by sloughing off any dead skin cells. A scrub can not only help acne but also brighten your skin, and make it more even!
#5: Face primer
A lot of us, surprisingly, don't use face primer. Maybe because we feel like our foundation should stay no matter what. Unfortunately, there is no foundation on the market that will stay on throughout the whole day looking exactly how you put it on. However an item like a face primer can get you pretty darn close. Face primers can also do lots of other things like make pores less visible, add color back into your face, and make your skin more even.
#6: moisturizer with SPF
I think this is an absolute must, and if you don't have it already, go to the store and get it! Most people avoid SPF products because they are scared of the white cast in photos, However you can counteract this with other products like face primer and foundation.

My skin care Routine

Hello everyone! welcome to my blog....today's topic is going to be about skin,skin,skin. Before I get into my actual routine, let me tell you a bit about my skin's history and what its like. I started getting acne at the middle to end of 6th grade and it was mostly around the center part of my face: upper forehead, nose, mouth. For around then, i used clean and clear and noticed that it didn't really seem to do anything. By the time  I was in 7th grade i didn't have much acne and for this period i used ACNE FREE which seemed to be working AMAZING! but then my skin started to get used to the ingredients in it, and again started to break out all the way up to the middle of 8th grade. By this time, I had had a new  philosophy that in order to get acne free skin, i first needed to cleanse my skin of all impurities. For this I used Aveeno positively radiant which broke me out like CRAZY!!! then I started using at home remedies such as an oatmeal face wash. That didn't work AS well as i was hoping too. In the summer I started using ambi products and it really cleared up my skin, again my skin got used to it and started to form break outs all over my face. Now, just entering highschool, i have chosen to go with a new cleanser, so here is my weekly skin routine:
MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY:
MORNING: wash face with cetaphil gentle cleanser(2x) moisturize with ambi even and clear daily moisturizer. Pat my face with sweet almond mint oil from chaz dean.
NIGHT: wash face with cetaphil gentle cleanser(2x) moisturize with ambi even and clear daily moisturizer. Put ambi fade cream for oily skin all over my face. Pat my face with sweet almond mint oil from chaz dean.
TUESDAY, THURSDAY,SATURDAY:
MORNING: Exfoliate my skin with st.ives apricot scrub. wash my face with cetaphil gentle cleanser. moisturize with ambi even and clear daily moisturizer. Pat my face with sweet almond mint oil from chaz dean.
NIGHT: wash my face with cetaphil gentle cleanser(2x) moisturize with ambi even and clear daily moisturizer. put ambi fade cream for oily skin. and skip the sweet almond mint oil
SUNDAYS:
MORNING: wash face with cetaphil gentle cleanser(2x) moisturize with ambi even and clear daily moisturizer. pat on sweet almond mint oil from chaz dean.
NIGHT: do a super fruits peel off mask. moisturize face with ambi even and clear daily moisturizer. pat on fade cream. skip sweet almond mint oil.

I know this can seem really confusing, but it really isn't. Couple of things i want to explain about this routine. I wash my face twice at a time. The reason for this is because the first time your cleansing your face, all your doing is sloughing away the dead skin and dirt that was on your face previously. While this is really good, you also want to target the breakouts under the skin so this is why I wash two times. Another thing is,  Try NOT to exfoliate every single day or else your skin will become super sensitive, red, and blotchy. Also try to do a mask at least once a week. I do a peel off mask because its literaly PEELING off a thin layer of your skin so the rest of your face products can target the problem areas. Another thing, Some people CAN and CAN'T use an oil. I have pretty normal skin so using this oil makes my skin feel like water and it also leaves a very dewy fresh appearance to my skin. Now i will give a mini review on each of the products I use.
Cetaphil daily Facial Cleanser for normal to oily skin: So many people rave about this product and for me, its just ok. I don't notice a dramatic change in my skin, however i've only been using it for 2 weeks. This product comes in 8fl oz. and claims to remove excess oil without drying. And this it does, its great if you just want your makeup removed and to feel clean. Also its non-comedogenic, non-irritating, and dermatologist recommended.
AMBI even and clear daily moisturizer: This moisturizer comes in 3fl oz. and SPF30. It claims to visibly even skin tone and texture. I seriously think this is the only product i have used in which i have seen a DRAMATIC differene!! its so light and it doesn't over moisturize my skin and its perfect under makeup. I love this stuff!!
St. ives naturally clear apricot scrub blemish and black head control: This exfoliate comes in 6oz. and claims to fight blemishes without over-drying. I first heard this from seventeen magazine and Michelle Phan on youtube, and was excited to add something different to my skin care routine. I was especially intrigued that it was a blemish and black head control and prevented blemished and cleansed pores. This scrub has salicylic acid acne medication with 100% natural exfoliates which is great because benzoyl peroxide can sometimes be TOO harsh on my skin. i have to say, i really do like this stuff, it makes my skin feel like butter afterwards and its a great acne remedy. However this is actually the only meant for ACNE product i do use on my face which is great because it so light and it controls my acne perfectly.
Freeman superfruits revealing peel off facial mask: This has 6fl oz. in it and it claims to combat the effects of stress. I think you can only find it at ULTA though. This has a Mega 8 complex which purges and fortifies for clear skin. It can help combat the effects of stress, the environment, and your fun-not so healthy lifestyle. It combines with powerful fruits such as goji,acai,pomegranate,mango,mangosteen,cranberrry,noni,and blueberry to help purify,detoxify, and soothe stressed skin. I use this about once a week because you a legitly peeling off a layer of your skin. I absolutely love this stuff! You can actually see all the dirt and grime on your skin after you've let it sit for about 10-20 minutes.
AMBI fade cream for oily skin: This has about 2floz. of product in it and claims to fade dark spots for even, natural skin tone. This product i am very confused about. i remember when i got this over the summer and I had one dark spot on my nose and one on the center of my forehead and i put it on at the same time to both spots for a time span of 3 months and the one on my nose dramatically disappeared into nothing but the one on my forehead hasn't budged. Maybe one was deep and the other was thinner but I guess this is a miracle worker because got MOST of my dark spots gone in a matter of 3-4 months which is AMAZING!
