Mineral

Mineral make-up

September 26, 2011






Let's get into the nitty gritty of MINERAL make-up. I'm pretty sure you wanna know why lots of women are flocking to stores to buy it.




The reason why mineral make-up is a hot topic in the beauty world is mainly because it does not contain the emollient oils and waxes, fragrance, and preservative ingredients found in conventional make-up. Another advantage is that most mineral make-up is preservative and fragrance free, which means less irritation to the face.



If you are all into being green then wait just a second before start running to the make-up counter. Make sure you read the labels because if the label reads "mineral-enriched" or if the formulation is liquid or mousse; these products may contain ingredients such as paraben preservatives or dimethicone added for a smooth texture. Nonpowders might also contain moisturizers, antioxidant vitamins, or other ingredients that your skin can use, so it's up to you to weigh the benefits against your needs.



What I keep hearing is that mineral foundation can clear Up acne. However my research says otherwise, a article on Web MD states "it's unlikely that mineral makeup will clear up pimples, which can be caused by many factors, including hormonal fluctuations. The anti-irritating ingredients in it, such as zinc, can be soothing to inflammation, but it's not likely a cure-all, she adds." So basically it will not clear acne up, but it wont make it worse either.



Well so far that's all I have to say about Mineral Make-Up....check my blog later I'll have more to say lol

Brushes

How to clean ur cosmetic brushes

August 26, 2011




Q: Moni, how do I clean my makeup brushes???


As you already know, anything you use on your face should be clean. If you are constantly having breakouts, unclean brushes may be the cause??? So I'm gonna give you few tips on how to clean your brushes.


A: Olive Oil is great when it come to removing make-up from your brushes. So gently stroke each brush with a little olive oil, while massaging the tips with your fingers. Then you can take some Johnsons & Johnsons Baby wash (Gentle Treatment) to cleanse them. Make sure you keep your brushed in a downward position so the water and suz wont effect the brush adhesive holding it together.


If all the above is too much work then honey just get you some good ol brush cleaner. I love M.A.C. brush cleanser its reallly effective!




You can also find some good cosmetic brush cleaner at Sephora or Ulta


Well as always I hope this helps!

eye liner

Liquid Liner (winged eye)

August 23, 2011

Gosh Natasha Poly who stars on one of the six i-D Pre-Fall 2011 covers lensed by Willy Vanderperre is rocking a cute winged eye. Do you want the PERFECT eyeliner then if you ask me ditch the pencil and go liquid honey! Liquid liner is better because it goes on ultra smooth and looks much neater. It also makes a winged eye more achievable!





Oh and make sure you get water-proof liquid liner...as we all know drooling eyes is not cute!




Personally I love Avon liquid liner but M.A.C. has what the call fluidline which is also good. Urban Decay has what they call 24/7 liquid liner that is simply everlasting! Or you can just go to your local drug store and get covergirl, Almay, or maybelline liquid liners because they are all awesome as well!






Well as always I hope this helps :)
