How to keep your make-up looking fresh!

Do you ever apply make-up and its off within 3-4 hours because of sweat, humidity, or whatever else?! Well I have some tips to help you make your make-up look fresh all day! If your skin gets oily through out the day you can use Clean and Clear's Oil blotting sheets. I have a pack and I like to keep them in my make-up bag (or as I like to call it my to-go bag because everything is mini!) Then whenever my face gets oily I use one of the sheets and blot gently and it doesn't smear my make-up. Plus it gives your face a nice fresh smell! Another way to keep your make-up looking fresh is MAC charged water/renewal defense. There are many different brands of the spray if you look it up on the Internet you can find a way cheaper brand than MAC! You just spritz it on when your face feels dry. I hope these tips help you. If you have any ideas for my blog go ahead and comment and I'll make it happen!


Urban Decay Primer Potion!

Urban decay has a primer potion that is fantastic. You apply it on your eye lids before your eye shadow and it makes your eyeshadow glow and last a lot longer. Your eye shadow doesn't crease at all! It is a creamy formula in a cute unique bottle. It costs $16. You can find it at Ulta or Sephora. The reason why I love it is because when I did a swatch of my eye shadow on my hand without the primer potion it was boring. Then I did another swatch of the same color eyeshadow but put the primer potion on before and it transformed my eyeshadow and made it look like a brand new eyeshadow! It helps it last longer too. When I mean transformed I do not mean a new color just a brighter and bolder version of the one you had before. My eyeshadow never fades when I'm done using this. A tip is you put it on then wait about 30 seconds to a minute to dry. Then put on your eyeshadow. It helps it so its easier to put on. If you still are debating to buy this product they always have samples out at the store. So do a swatch on your hand like I did. It bought me over and I didn't even know anyone that had it or has used it!

Jane Shimmering Blush

Hi everyone! I just started using this new product called Jane Shimmering Blush. I have naturally rosy cheeks and this helps them stand out more! It helps prevent oil and gives you a gorgeous shimmer all day! Plus it has a compartment on the bottom that has a mirror and holds a brush. The color I have is Roses. It costs about seven dollars. Its really worth it, the shimmer is amazing but not over powering. I like how its very easy to put on and it doesn't make a big mess. There are four different colors you can get it in. You can find it at stores like Walgreen's, Target, and Walmart. Its easy to travel with since the brush stays in the bottom compartment. You just pop it into your purse and go!

Having trouble finding a hairstyle?

Are you trying to find a hairstyle but you can't find one to fit your face shape? Well here are some tips to help you find a cute hairstyle you'll love!

Round face:
Your face is as wide as it is long.

Oblong:
Longer than it is wide.

Heart:
Narrow at the jaw line, wide at the cheekbones/forehead.

Diamond:
Widest at cheekbones, narrow forehead and jaw line with same length.

Square:
Wide forehead and strong wide jaw line.

Oval:
You can pretty much wear any hair style! I have an oval face shape and I absolutely love wearing all the different hairstyles!

Oblong:
Short to medium lengths. Fullness at the sides of your face. Soft wispy bangs. You'll want to balance the look of a long and slender face. Soft wispy bangs will shorten the appearance of the length. Fullness at the sides of your face will add width to the look of your face shape.
By cutting the hair into a short or medium length, the outline of the cut will also shorten the look
of the length of the face. Layers work great with your face shape, as they will add softness
to the straight lines in your face. Try side parts, and you may be able to wear straight back styles.

Round:
Hair styles with fullness and height at the crown. Off center parts. Short hair styles with a swept-back direction or hair styles that are longer than chin length. By layering the top to
achieve fullness and keeping the rest of the cut relatively close to the face, your face shape will appear longer and narrower.

Heart:
Chin-length or longer styles. Side-parted hair styles. Swept-forward layers around the upper face, gently wispy bangs. A chin length bob is great on your face shape!
This creates a balanced look by giving fullness where you need it. You can wear shorter styles, however, if you are a dramatic heart shape you need to
leave weight in the back nape area. This will achieve more balance between your dramatic cheekbones and more narrowing chin.

Diamond:
Your face shape is balanced and dramatic. Try a variety of styles. Almost everything works with your face (as long as you are a true diamond). You can wear shorter styles, however if you are a dramatic diamond shape you need to leave weight in the back nape area like a heart shaped face. This will achieve more balance between your dramatic cheekbones and more delicate chin line.

Discreet ways to carry tampons/pads:

Have a small make-up bag that you keep make-up in as well as pads/tampons
Always take your make-up bag to the bathroom with you so no one will suspect anything.
If you have a long sleeved shirt on you could slip it up your sleeve at school.
For tampon users you can switch to Tampax Compact Tampons.
These really work well! They can fit into the palm of your hand!

Is it that time of the month?

That time again? Have you always thought that your period could never be used for good?
Well now it can! All you have to do it buy always pads and it sends
femmine supplies over to Africa to help the women.
This could really help the girls not miss school. Did you know that every time they get
their period each month they could miss up to a week of school!
Also if you don't like to use pads you can use Tampax tampons.
They are also a part of it. You can also buy a shirt and they will donate the money to
Africa!
The website.
Hope you can be a part of this!

Cream Eye Shadow

I have found the best cream eye shadow.
It is by Rimmel London and it is called Stir it up cream shadow.
It comes in gorgeous colors. It works great in the heat when you sweat or in humidity. It doesn't come off unless you want it too! It costs seven dollars each. I love this product because I can wear it for any occasion. I love almost all Rimmel London products. They are a great affordable brand. Keep a watch out for more posts about Rimmel London!
Here are some pictures of it.
You can find these at Ulta Beauty Stores.

xoxo, Tori
