Face Mask Tip

Hey I hope this helps! It's a very simple thing but it took me long to figure out it really does help! Think about it, massaging it longer into your skin pushes it deeper and into more pores thus lifting out more toxins. 

p.s. I realise it would have been better not to use a clear facemask for this post haha

9 Sweet Earrings and Cuffs





               
         
Go ahead and tell me which ones you would wear and with what? Do you have any tips or tricks? Hope you find these cute because they're terribly in season! Comment below and don't forget to Share the <3 




1) Cute Studs


I bought my own pair of these not long ago because I thought how nifty! I bought these super cheap actually at around £1.79 on eBay. For these cuffs a piercing is required however I don't recommend these to you haven't had your piercing for at least 6 months as cheaper metals can cause problems for new piercings. I only wear gold jewelry as i feel it goes better with my skin tone and the jewel sparkles it up.



2) Festival Chic

Many varieties of this cuff & chain style earring now exist in any leading clothes and accessory store. These look great with what is called the "Anti-helix" piercing which is the forward edge of the ear above the tragus. However daring your feeling, don't clash colours or shapes with this cuff. Stick to plain studs that match to get it to look the best. You don't want it to look like a jumbled mess of baubles.






3) Forest Accessory 

Be careful what face shape you have when buying this kind of accessory! This cuff, though beautiful, works with a small round shaped faces best. I've seen this kind of fan design with many different shapes such as leaves, wings, swirls and hearts. There's no piercing required with this design and its best not to have any in while wearing it if you want to achieve a simple, beautiful look. 





4) Sci-fi Wow!

Have as many piercings as you like with this baby. This is not for the faint hearted. Only for use at a glamour party if you want to WOW. Tragus and Rook piercings look hot with this.This works with any face shape and its a real stunner. Wear one or wear two, ideal for costume parties as well. 





5) Reptile Rebel

Snakes and Animals are really popular styles of ear cuff and the snakes often come more bulky and wrap completely around the ear. To get a more everyday use out of them, though, select a slimmer more subtle shape for it to look more cute and less overbearing. No piercings are required, it just cuffs right on.



6) Tribal Tabu

You have to be brave to wear this! It's a very alternative style and though it may look rockin' at a festival you must nearly always have your hair up to wear this.  You must NOT wear a simple plain outfit with this, if you're going all out - do it properly! Please don't wear this if you do not like attention. After all, this is garunteed to turn a few heads.







7) More Feathers 

This is a really pretty piece that you can jazz up with lots of other jewellery too. If worn right it can work with most straight hairstyles. Experiment with colours because the more the better. Although look out while taking care of it as once feathers are broken or frayed they're incredibly hard to fix!


                                                            

8) Elven Fun

Okay, maybe this one is more for fun. But it is super
fantasy based perfect for a modernised costume 
party or glamorous fun. Beware that these do not fit every face shape and that long oval faces work best. Using subtle and not loud make-up will give you a charming beautiful look.  


9) Heaven Vs Hell

Appropirate piercings needed but it's incontestable that these are a winner! Already in trend and why not step it up a notch and wear them together? That's if you can't decide whether to be a good girl or bad today.

Hellllp! I broke my Lipstick!

Hellllp! I broke my Lipstick! 

7a873eccc93c11e19e4a12313813ffc0_7.jpg (612×612)My absolute favorite item of make-up.

One tip to PREVENT this from happening is to refrigerate your lipstick.

Although if the damage is done and your lipstick is in two halves then there's still a way to save it! Heat up the two broken ends of the lipstick either with a lighter or a hairdryer (don't worry, lipstick isn't flammable) and then fuse the ends together. Once its in place put it in the fridge until it is hard again and wah-lah!

It might not look as good as it used to but it does work!

Primers?


Why buy a Primer? 

  • Oily skin can be easily covered up with primer beacause it has mattifying properties!
  • If you are a maturer make up user, foundation will set in any low points or wrinkles that you may have, making them appear worse, however by using a good primer your foundation will set into them much more nicely and improve the look of them. 
  • It minimalises large pores and therefore gives you a "resurfaced" look. 
  • It helps your make up stay on for longer meaning less touch ups during the day. 
  • It is gentle enough that it can be doubled as an eyeshadow primer to help it stay in place and to also lighten the eye area, helping your eyes look less tired and more awake!
I was very impressed with Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer* £6.99 as it is also tinted to adapt to the colour of your skin tone. So even if you do not plan to use foundation over the top of this product you can still have a clear much more natural looking complexion. This product goes on very easily and you can apply foundation without waiting for any time for it to set. It moisturises as it works and makes my skin smoother to the touch! 

Higher end Primers  such as Mac Prep and Prime* it comes in at around £20-£30. It feels smooth and non greasy and clears up oily skin especially around the nose and mouth area. This is becuase It contains silicones which are usually helpful for filling in wrinkles and large pores but can also clog them. I realised that this product does improve the appearance of your skin however it did not improve creases around the mouth and eyes upon putting on foundation. Although it makes my skin feel fantastic there is no change to how my foundation would look on top of a drugshop primer
