4 Makeup Mistakes to Avoid.

Hello Ladies :)

We have all made makeup mishaps that we would much rather forget. So here are 4 rules to stick by to make sure that it never happens again.

1. Mismatched Foundation: When choosing a foundation make sure you know what skin type you have. For example, if you have oily to combination skin make sure you choose a foundation that is oil free or not oil based because if you don't, by midday you will be looking like a full on grease mess. In summer I highly recommend avoiding heavy makeup. Rather switch to a BB cream as this is very light on the skin but still gives great coverage. Always make sure that you apply your foundation in natural light. This will help you make sure that the color of the foundation is perfect for you and you can avoid streaking or blotching. 

2. Lumpy Lashes: First things first toss out any Mascara that is older than 3 months. Every time we use mascara we expose the wand to air, germs and dust and this can lead to spoiling the mascara or even an eye infection if you are not careful.When applying Mascara make sure you wiggle the wand a bit to get rid of any excess product. This will make sure you get an evenly spread application to you eyelashes. If you are planning on applying more than 1 coat of mascara make sure that you apply the second coat before the first dries to avoid lumpy lashes.

3. White Eye shadow below the eyebrow: When you watch makeup tutorial you always see the makeup artist applying a highlighter under the eyebrow. This just completes the look but one thing many girls are doing is applying a frosty white eye shadow under the brow. This is just going to make you look like a clown. Ladies make sure you just use a highlighter and not actual white eye shadow. 

4. Over-plucked eyebrows: Ladies I cannot mention this enough. Avoid over plucking your eyebrows. Rather just neaten your brows up by removing fine hairs that grow outside the area. If you want a more defined look try using a brow kit to get a more polished and natural look.

So ladies these are just a few mistakes you should avoid. Remember, makeup is there to enhance your beauty not to take away form it. 

Have a great day

Charlie Foundation Review :)

Hello Muffins :)

I want to talk about Charlie Foundation. Like i have said in my previous posts Almay is my go to foundation because it has more natural extracts in it and I don't break out at all when I apply it to my skin for a long period of time but the other day I decided to give Charlie foundation a try again. I started using charlie foundation when I first started applying foundation which was years ago. All I can say is that I forgot how amazing this foundation is. 

Charlie Foundation has a fairly thick texture and spreads easily to my skin once I started applying it. This foundation gives 100% full coverage. I have 2 blemishes on my cheeks that I am always trying to cover up and this foundation does it perfectly. Once applied my skin literally looks flawless and blemish free. 

I have very oily skin so It is so hard for me to find a foundation that doesn't make my skin shiny and oily which is why I always stuck to Almay but after using Charlie foundation again, it doesn't make my skin oily or shiny at all. My skin stays looking matte all day. Now and then I will take shine control blot sheets and blot my skin just to make sure but other than that I'm good for up to 12 hours wearing Charlie Foundation.

I have now gone out and stocked up with an extra 2 bottles of Charlie foundation. This is such an inexpensive foundation and it does such a great job. I still absolutely love Almay foundation and it will always be my #1 go to foundation but for those nights out where I want to stay looking flawless I will stick to my Charlie Foundation for a matte even look all night. 

For all you ladies looking for a decent inexpensive foundation definitely consider Charlie.

Hope everyone is having a great day

Know your worth! :)

Hello Muffins. :)

Its been forever since I wrote a post because I have been so busy but I had time to do a lot of thinking about what my next post should be and this has been on my mind for sometime and that is us as woman need to know our worth. 

Recently I have seen so many girls in abusive relationships or abusive relationships with family or friends. We as woman should know our worth, we should know what we deserve and what we don't deserve. Yes we are very sensitive and we have our moments but that honestly gives absolutely no one the right to call you names, say mean or hurtful things to you or put you down. More and more girls are letting things slide like how they are spoken to and what is said about them and that gives the person hurting you more power and it makes the way they treating you or speaking to you ok! 

ladies we are woman and every women deserves the absolute best. We are responsible for what we allow people to say to us,how they speak to us and how they treat us. We need to know what we are worth so that we don't tolerate what we don't deserve.  

You are responsible for how you feel, You are responsible for how people see you, You are responsible for making sure you are happy. There is absolutely nothing wrong with putting yourself first and loving yourself before loving someone else. 

I recently came out of a long term relationship and I could never see what was wrong because I was in the relationship but what I did know was that I was so unhappy for so long and I put up with so much that most girls would never put up with. When I finally gpt the courage and removed myself from that relationship I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. It was like I could breath again. Now I think back and I know what I don't want in another relationship or a person.

So ladies you need to know your worth. You are strong, beautiful, independent, amazing and hard working. Know what you deserve because we all deserve nothing but the best 

I hope you all having a great day
Love You
XOXO
