Kim Kardashian Wedding. The Wedding Dress and The long Veil.

A big congratulations to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Wishing you all the happiness in the world. From what we can see, the dress looked stunning. And the veil looked long.

It must've been a tough one to grab this photo. Hehe. Many thought this day would not come... to be honest, I just want to watch Wendy Williams eat Crow.

For however long this may last, I (and other good hearted people of the world) wish you and Kanye all the happiness.

Keep Eczema and Rashes Away

Suffering from eczema? Constant or occasional rashes? Perhaps this would help!

Last week Thursday, during my evening skin care routine (Which happens rarely! Don't judge, I'm not always do or die with my night time skin care. LOL). Anyway, as I looked into the mirror, just under my chin, I saw a teenie, tainie, eczema. Knowing skin, these concerns usually happen when it's time to detox or my diet is just "food"!

When I was living in South Africa, this happened, and a friend of mine told me how his mother used to cure (and prevent) his eczema with Rooibos tea. So, I bought some from the stores, and applied Handmade Rooibos Jumbo Glycerin Soap by Morning Glory Soaps; in 1 day and a half... GONE!

I wondered how many people knew about this. So, I researched, and discovered that ivillage.com does. Click on the link and find out what they have to say about it.

Enjoy, and let me know how it goes!

I love lipstick. My boyfriend doesn't

Yip, you talk about this a lot! At the makeup counter, with your friends, to your makeup artist... Everywhere! It's heartbreaking. 

Well, maybe not "HEARTBREAKING" but for makeup artists, makeup creators, and makeup lovers... it's... Heartbreaking! The thing is, you love makeup, and the way lipstick (or lipgloss) makes everything come together; especially when you make all that effort to look good, and feel good about yourself. 

We can agree that Girls rituals should remain girls rituals (and and be appreciated by the guy). Your man shouldn't stop kissing you because of lipsticks. If you're wearing a bold colour for a night event... Well, thats not the time to smudge your lipstick. Invite him to give you a quick one and wait until you get home. If you wear a bright bold red lipstick or gloss before "Doing the deed" just make sure he's into that "scene". Anyway, I digress. Wear your lipstick or gloss because you love it and perhaps it looks great as a finish look; not because your boyfriend, husband, girlfriend, or someone else likes it or not like it. That's not what lipsticks are made for. "The only compromise you should make for your man or the person in your life, when it comes to your lipstick is the Colour."

If you're not a lipstick or lip colour girl (or guy), then we love you for that too. Just ensure that your lips are moisturised and not chapped. This is a universal NO NO!

What do you think? I just thought to throw this in there... LOL! Light-hearted, of course. I'm just speaking FOR the "girls" and women. "It's Okay if he wants to run your lipstick... but not okay if he asks you not to wear any."

Let me know your thought...

Always

Summer Must-Have Makeup & Skincare 2014

Caudalìe Divine Oil "An antioxidant, moisturising body lotion that provides silky skin and lasting comfort." Score: 80%

Caudalìe Divine oil leaves the skin soft, firm, and radiant. Perfect as a post-sun product, its delicately perfumed texture is instantly absorbed. Caudalie Divine oil an be used on Hair, Face and Body. Great thing about this oil is that it's nothing like any of its kind on the market, because it's a dry oil and quickly absorbs; you skin does not feel greasy. Contains no parabens

How to use: Apply morning and night before bed onto clean skin. After 2 weeks, skin feels noticeably smooth, and rich in complexion.

Personally: I do not use this on my face as I am naturally oily. although it promises to cause no unpleasant result. I happen to be a face care, body care type. If you have a dry skin, feel free to give it a shot. 


Tom Ford Private Blend Lipstick in TRUE CORAL: "To Tom Ford, there is no more dramatic accessory than a perfect lip."

This lipstick is the everything!!! When I tried I received it few days ago... 10/10 I gave it. Great rich look, and it delivers instant moisture. Indeed, this lipstick will be your perfect accesory for daytime, and just add more layers for the night. Price-wise... Well, its Tom Ford! So, go to a TF counter, try this or other shades in this collection and you'll be happy you did!






MAC Cosmetics Face & Body Foundation:   "A fluid foundation that provides low-to-medium build-able coverage and a flawless, natural satin-shine finish. Skin conditioning, water resistant and long wearing." - maccosmetics.com

As a MAC-Born, I can confidently say that, this is my go-to summer foundation. Just a little can go very far! I love this particularly because no matter how many layers you apply, you just can not look caked up on this. For under-water photo-shoot, this foundation will stay put, look fresh, and ready for touch up for another scene.  This is the perfect All ages, All ages, and all sexes foundation. Yep, thats the MAC cosmetics credo. ;-) 

For Summer, its perfect for that dewy, fresh skin. And its still perfect for dry winter as it keeps your skin moisturised. I'm sure you kow all these already! Hehe.



I will keep adding to this post... Keep watching and I also would like to know of your favourite finds!!!

The Cheeky Girl Makeup Tips

Hello everyone!I am BACK!

I apologise for taking this long to blog. Busy, Busy! But hey, I'm back, so let's get this show on the road!Today, I want to talk about creating the perfect "'Cheeky' Girl Makeup."

I have been paying attention to girls and how they express their personalities through their makeup application. Today, I want to make yours a little different by adding the "Cheeky Touch." What is HOT now? Hard to decide... However, I can tell you that there is a battle between the Matte and Dewy. Whatever your preference is... I am 100% behind you. Like "Sam Fine" will say... "Makeup is about personality, and this is going to be different from one person to another." -

I am going to assume you already know what perfect foundation gives you the perfect matte finish, or what highlighter delivers the perfect glow or dewy finish that makes you feel like the real-ness. Now, let's pick where you like your attention to be on; Eyes? Lips? I Love!

EYES: Your best friend here is... "False Lashes!" Now, let's not go too crazy... Shop for one that when straightened will give you a nice catchy' flirty eyes, and when curled or bent will take your on a "Retro Train." Then remember your bottom lashes. Try MAC cosmetics mascara in "Haute & Naughty", sweep it upwards, mating it with your false lashes and natural lashes then finish it up by adding it to your bottom lashes. With your mascara brush, attach 2 together and separate them so they go from thick on the lash line to thin on the tip. Eyeshadow? Think Pearly. Sweep it on your eye lid and blend upwards. This gives your lashes power and remember what they say about the eyes? No? Ask me! :)

LIPS: Screw the gloss! Go Matte! Or Retro Matte! Too dry for you? Go for something in between! Like Satin. Dust your concealer over your lips for a clear pallet, grab a nice long wearing pencil, sculpt a kick ass shape on your lips, blend with the pencil as a base. Now, use your matte lipstick to perfect a consistent colour intensity. Open your mouth and ensure you have the right amount of colour on the inner corners of your lips. Nothing beats a nicely sculpted lip! You know what they say about a beautifully defined lip? Ask me! That's it from me...
