i scream for icecream

hey guys,
Everybody is buzzing about their “must haves” for the season and I’m gonna be buzzin mine too.
I personally think the key to looking beautiful this summer is to have a healthy glow or at least achieve it.

1. Hair- Protect your hair from the sun with VITRESS in SUN PROTECT. I use this everyday to protect and to add volume to my dull hair. It makes my hair tangle free as well, and smell awesome :)

2. Face- For the face your problem here is not only to protect but to make it look fresh because the season makes your face very oily. I still suggest ETUDE’s Dr. Oil, it has SPF-30 and it is specifically for oily skin. Perfect for summer. Yay!

3. Brows- Sweat and oil might sweep off your brows when using ordinary brow pencil or brow cake. I use my Mac brow crayon and I top it off with my Mac brow gel. I mean, you can use any brand and it doesn’t have to be fancy or anything like that but make sure it is waterproof to prevent it from wearing out. When in tight budget, you can also try replacing a brow gel with a clear mascara.

4. Eyeshadow- Make your eyes pop and look effortlessly sexy with white and gold shimmery shadow. (tip: use gold shadow as your base and white shadow for the brow bone and in the the tear drop)

Advice:

• Use an eyeshadow base or eyeshadow primer to make your shadow last longer (I use nyx for this)

• Use the lose shadow type not the cream type coz it will definitely crease.

5. Mascara- Volume makes your eyes pop more. A mascara might be a small thing for you but trust me, a perfect mascara coupled with a perfect technique makes a big difference with your look. I use FALSIES by: Maybeline and I second coat with SUPER CURALCIOUS by: Avon. Same with the brows, the magic word is “waterproof” not “fancy”.

6. Contour and Blush- Make something out of nothing. Make your face and nose slimmer by contouring. I am currently using PRETTY YOUNG THING by: Krave mineral (This is a local cosmetic brand where they use healthy and natural ingredients. You can check it here: http://www.facebook.com/Mimi.and.Tofu ). For the blush I am currently using IN2IT in SHEER SHIMMER BLUSH. The sheer makes my face clear and very healthy looking.

7. Lipbalm- Your lips need moisture coz the heat makes your lips crack soo bad. I am currently using EOS lipbalm in mint.

• Add a shimmery bronzer to the face focusing on the “Tzone” to make an illusion you just got out of the beach. (this is optional by the way)

HERE YOU GO EVERYONE! These are my “beauty must haves” for summer 2012. Go grab yours!

Have fun under the sun!
Xoxo, Vida

Goooood morning! 
So, as I was surfing the net i stumbled upon an online shop that sells Japan products (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1902109226979.2105279.1069161802&type=3) . I have heard that Daiso products are reliable so i ordered DAISO FACIAL CLEANSING SET. They are sold sepratley FOR ONLY P150.00 ($3). Cheap,yeah? HELLS YEAH.

When i got the items I was very impressed with their packaging because even if they didn’t have directions in English (WHICH THEY HAVE) you could still understand which one to use and how to use it. Plus, it looks all cute.

STEPS:

1. Daiso Cleansing Cream- This cleanser takes away dirt and make up.

2. Cleansing Foam- After the cleansing cream you wash your face with this foam. After washing you can really feel your face smooth and dirt free!

3. Natural Pack-It contains charcoal which is known for its skin-cleansing and clarifying properties. The mask can definitely clear clogged pores. Activated charcoal is a natural skin purifier, disinfectant, and oil absorber so a charcoal-infused face mask can leave your skin looking radiant and much smoother.
