How to stay positive when things are looking bad :)

Hello Beauties :)

I know I haven't written a post in a while but I have been so busy with everything but finally I can sit down and write a post. I normally write on Beauty Products and anything do to with makeup but I wanted to write something a little different today. We all want to look beautiful and we all want to be happy and yes makeup can make you look beautiful but its also about being happy.

Now some people may think this is corny but it is important to stay happy because being stressed and anxious can play a big part in breaking out of your skin, losing weight or picking up weight and all the other Beauty related things.

 So here are just a few tips on how to stay positive and happy when things/life is really looking bad.

1. No matter what is happening in your life make sure that your health does not suffer. Your health should be your main priority because if you let your health suffer all those difficult things that are happening in your life can seem even more challenging. The better you feel the easier it will be for you to overcome any challenges you are experiencing. 

2. Sometimes we all just need to take a break from being busy, thinking, talking everything. We all just need a few minutes to unwind and kind of process what has all happened. It helps to go into a quit room and just relax, let your muscles relax and your brain, while doing this its good to think about happy positive thoughts so that it puts you in a good frame of mind. 

3. A lot of people tend to dwell or get caught up in the situation or challenge they dealing with instead of trying to take action to solve the problem. Worrying is such a big part of us already that we actually need to train ourselves to focus on finding a solution to the problem. Once you have done that you will be able to handle a  lot more and you will feel more confident to handle the situation without doubting yourself. 

4. Make sure that you have a great support system. Sometimes we just need someone there to listen to us and give a little advice on how they would solve it or just to give their opinion. Having someone that supports you no matter what always helps because you feel 100% comfortable with that person and you trust their opinion or advice. So find that person and stalk talking ;)

5. A good thing to do is get rid of any negative people or things in your life. Having negativity in your life can only cause you stress and anxiety and in turn it will cause you to be more negative than positive. Once you have gotten rid of those negative people or thing you will feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders and you will feel a lot more positive and happy. You will be more ready and confident to take on any challenge that comes your way. 

6. Always remember that things happen for a reason. People come into your life to either be there forever or to teach you something. There is always something to learn from a bad situation and there is always something to smile about. 

So ladies and gents this is just a few things to help you stay positive and happy. We all go through those bad time where things look like they are never going to get better but they will!

Like I said everything happens for a reason, that guy you thought was everything may just be there to show you what type of guy you shouldn't go for or that fight you had with a friend may just show you that you as a person need to be more understanding. Things happen to teach us a lesson or something valuable. 

So stay positive and I hope this helps. 

Lots of Love

Here are some quotes/saying to make you smile

Almay TLC Truly Last Color Pressed Powder

Happy Tuesday Beautiful Ladies :)

So my love for Almay products continues today. Since I always mention my Almay Pressed powder in my YouTube Videos I thought I would do a Review on it so you can get my take on it and understand why I love it so much. 

I have been using this powder for about a year now and it is a product that I will always use.

This Pressed Powder gives light coverage but somehow manages to cover all redness, dark spots and blemishes. Because it is so light it doesn't end up looking cakey even if you want to apply a little more than you usually would. 

It doesn't cause breakouts because it is very light and it doesn't settle into any fine lines in your face. What is great is that it contains good ingredients such as Aloe,Chamomile, Green tea and it also has SPF 12 in it. Almay Pressed Powder also has lemon extracts in it to lighten the skin and any blemishes.

When using Almay Foundation and the Almay Pressed powder you will get a flawless, matte finish which looks natural and fresh.

This product is best applied with a powder brush, I really don't recommend using the sponge because it tends to keep more of the product on the sponge instead of putting it on your face. 

Hope this helps ladies 

Please go out and give it a try. This is a product that wont disappoint

Much love

Essence BB Cream Beauty Review

Hello Beauties :)

The product I want to talk about today is Essence BB Cream. I actually mentioned it in my latest YouTube Video but I want to give you my take on the product. 

Essence BB Cream gives a smooth and radiant complexion when applied. It takes away most redness and doesn't clog your pores or feel very thick on your skin. It feels like a very thin moisturizer which I really like.

This product is fragrance free and it only comes in 3 different shades with SPF 30.

When I first applied this product I was a bit nervous because when it came out of the tube the color looked very dark but once I started applying it with my foundation brush it went on smoothly, evenly and took away most of the redness that I had on my face.

I think the packaging of the product is so cute and very girly which I love because honestly most of us girls go for the pretty and shiny things when it comes to makeup, well at least I do. I like my makeup products to look nice and girly. 

The only two things that I did not like about this products was that it made my skin look a bit shiny after a while and in turn I had to use powder to take away the shine. Once I had done that it was perfect and looked natural and flawless which is what I like to achieve when trying new products. The other thing is I think they should not just have 3 shades to chose from. I think they should have about 6 - 8 different shades so that it can fit a persons complexion perfectly

All in all for the great price of this product I would highly recommend it because it really is worth it.

Price: R54.95

Hello Beauties :)

 

I went shopping the other day and I wanted to share with you guys the few things that I bought.

I will aslo be posting more information on some of the products because I just gave you a brief overview. Enjoy!

Maringa Body Butter: Maringa Body Butter melts right into the skin. It leaves the skin feeling soft and moisterized. This Body Butter contains Community fair trade sheer butter and it has a beautiful floral smell. This product is perfect for normal to dry skin. You get 24 hours hydration. It obsorbes quickly into the skin and lasts up to 3 days.

 

 Hair Rescue Mask: This is an absolute Beauty must have. This product is oil-enriched. It helps moisterize and repair brittle and damaged hair. You apply this onto you hair while you are in the shower or bath and leave for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes you rinse and brush through with a wide toothed comb and your hair is soft, nourished, moisterized and feeling alot healthier.

 

Yardley Hardening nail polish: This nail polish id perfect for the ladies that have brittle nails that never want to grow. You apply one coat to your nails and it lasts up to 1 week and then you have to reapply a cout. It hardens your nails and helps them grow stronger without them chipping or breaking. I do reccommend keeping your nails short when applying this so that they can grow out stronger. It is a translicent colour and makes the nails look pretty and shinny and looking healthy.

 

Essence Powder brush: All i can say about this product is that I am inlove with it. It has a beautiful purple brush, it is extremely soft. It picks up a decent amount of Powder and non falls off. It holds it perfectly and when applied it applies it evenly and not to much to certain parts of the face. This product was ver inexpensive and i highly reccommend it.

 

This is just the products that I bought that I wanted to give you more information on.

Enjoy :)

Almay Smart Shade Makeup

Hi Ladies :)

 

The product I want to talk about today is the Almay Smart Shade Makeup. This product is like a foundation but it comes out in a white colour. The amazing thing about this product is that once it is applied it immediatly adjusts to the colour of your skin so no more trying to find your colour in foundation.

 

I recently bought this product and I love it. It has Grape Seed, Ginseng and a whole bunch of other natural ingrediants which are helpful to sensitive skin. It gives great but light coverage which I absolutley love because I hate having something that is to heavy and thick on my skin.

 

It requires minimal blending. I spread it throughout my face with my fingertips, set it with a tiny bit of powder and then I am ready to do. It is perfect for humid and hot weather, it doesnt flake or get cakey after a few hours. It has a texture of a moisturizer but has the coverage like a good foundation and it doesnt leave your skin oily or sticky.

 

I am a big fan of this product and I can say that I will definatley be purchasing it again because it is perfect for my skin and ofcourse because it is an Almay product.

 

Thanks for watching and I hope this helps

Xoxo
