Can you believe that 2013 is ending? YES, it's going to be over soon and hell yeah this year has been awesome! :) I'm so happy with what I have accomplished this year, slowly but satisfied! ;) 2013 has opened up many opportunities for me and I am so blessed with all the 'rezeki' Allah gave me, Alhamdulillah. :) But of course, next year will be more awesome, I'm going to make sure my checklist is fully ticked!
To create a list with resolutions is wayyyyyyy too much for me. So I'm going to narrow it down, bit by bit and we are going to start off with my 'Beauty Resolutions 2014'! Woot woot! :D
I was doing these starting in May 2013 but somehow in September or October I kinda lost my momentum because of my laziness, which I'm not proud of. Now I have my brand new juicer from Philips, I am determined to make full use of it. The reason I want to do is definitely to keep my body healthy and at the same time to have a glowy and radiant complexion. Drinking fresh fruits and veggies is much better than drinking any processed beauty drinks, do you agree with me?
No doubt drinking water is extremely good for you. I myself would only drink about 600-800 ml litres only a day. I know there's no excuse I can give you but that's just the way I am since, well, forever! Why 2 litres? I read somewhere that for every 25kg, you need to drink 1 litre of water, so my weight is about 45 - 50kg so 2 litres is the perfect fit for me. :D
Lets face it, we are living in the world where new things will popped up everyday. It is so hard for us to refrain ourselves to NOT BUY! I know, I understand, I feel you. But do we really need 5 lipsticks of the same shades? or 5 palettes of neutral eye shadows? or even 5 mascaras at one time? I know it's easier said than done, but I really want to make this work because I need to start saving up starting TODAY.
Incorporating natural ingredients products
in my beauty routine
As you know, our skincare products and makeup contains chemicals that could harm us long-term. It is hard to completely ignore them because we grew up knowing these amazing brands! But sadly, some well-known brands do practice animal testing and their products contains full of chemicals. :( Good news for us, nowadays we can find a lot of organic and natural ingredients products out there in the market. One of the 100% natural ingredients products that I love is YADAH!
YADAH is a brand originated from South Korea that uses botanical plant extracts such as essential oils, floral water, barks and traditional herbs so they are 100% natural. Their products does not contain artificial colouring, preservatives, mineral oil, sulphate and animal extract. They are gentle yet effective! I reviewed their Sweet Milky Tint, Highlash Mascara and Bloom Mascara , click the link down below if you want to read them! ;)
The most exciting part of makeup to me is lips products. I believe they are a vital essence in makeup because they add that 'extra' spark in my look and they can change my mood instantly. Nude lips gives me that subtle but sexy pouts, pink lips brings out the girly side of me, coral boosts up my mood and red lipsticks gives me confidence. But to ensure that these lips products look good on my lips is to have chapped-free lips. Yes, it's not hard to achieve that and I will show you how. ^_^
I have been using these 3 products every single day for a month and I am absolutely loving this routine! :) Let me take you through how to get that sexy soft lips! ;)
LIP SCRUB
Every lips need a good scrub to get rid of dead skin cells. Exfoliatioan is the key to keep your lips chapped-free lips. I am using Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub(AUD$9.95 / RM30.15 for 20g) every night before I go to bed to prep my lips for lip balm. This lip scrub tastes exactly like popcorn, sweet and salty. And it is edible, nyums! :) You can DIY your own lip scrub using sugar, coconut oil and honey. Or you can google for the recipe! :D
Scrub scrub scrub
Your lips will get red and sting a bit but that's normal since you have been rubbing it with the scrub.
LIP BALM
I apply my favourite lip balm for the night, Burt's Bees Lip Balm in Pomegranate(I bought this in a pack with a cuticle cream, I think the price is around RM30 for both products) after I exfoliate my lips. I love this lip balm for the night time because it is very moisturizing compare to my other collection of lip balms. Plus, my lips feel so soft from the moment I apply it till the next morning, no kidding! :)
This lip balm has a sheer red tone to it. Love it!
LIP CREAM
After my morning shower, I will apply NUXE Nuxuriance Yeux et Levres or Eye and Lip Global Anti-Aging Cream (I'm not sure about the price, will get back to you) on my lips to prevent lip wrinkles. Yes it's never too early to start using lip cream for your lips. ;) I usually use this before putting on any lipsticks.
A tiny amount is enough for the whole lips. Massage it into your lips and voila!
Your smooth lips is ready for some action! ^_^
When you have soft smooth lips, you don't even need lip liners to make your lipsticks look great.
I am rocking :
Face of Australia Lychee Crush and NYXButter Gloss in Eclair
Max Factor Lipstick in Burnt Caramel
Rimmel Apocalypse in Stellar
How do you keep your lips soft and smooth? Share with me your tips! :)
I want to share with you lovelies a new neutral look that I have been spotting for these past weeks since I got the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. I love the palette so much and I really feel it is such a great addition in my makeup collection. [READ FULL REVIEW OF UD NAKED 3] :) This is just a quick and simple tutorial, nothing fancy but why don't you take a look at this video first? ^_^
I was just goofing around with YouTube Capture App in my phone. Insyaallah I will produce more quality photos and videos in my next tutorial. I'm just waiting to get my dream camera. hihi :) Keep on reading if you want to know the final look of this tutorial. :)
Now lets get to the tutorial!
Prep your eyes using a primer. I forgot to bring mine but if I have it, I will use Maybelline Color Tattoo Metal Inked in Pink or ArtDeco Eyeshadow Primer.
Use STRANGE all over lid. Blend up to the crease. but don't go overboard.
Take BUZZ into your crease and blend well up to the center. Drag it to your outer corner. Blend.
Use LIAR on the outer corner and blend into the crease. Take your time blending to get that very soft smoky look.
Draw that wing eyeliner and you are ready to go!
I love this look because it's soft and neutral with a subtle pink shade. This can definitely be an everyday look for me. You can try this soft pink eye look and stay away from the usual brown/earthy tone neutral look. You can amp it up with neutral shade lipsticks or even bright lipstick. Here I am using Max Factor Lipstick in Burnt Caramel, a brownish nude shade. What do you think? :D
I will do another tutorial on this palette, more towards glamourous and smoky look. Stay tuned! ^_^
