Tips on getting a flawless skin ♥

♥♥ Hey guys! ♥♥

I have received so many requests on 'how to get a flawless skin?' . So today I'll be talking about how you can achieve a healthier and dewy skin!

1: SLEEP

Sleep is very imporant because when you're sleeping, your skin is repairing itself and if you don't have an average of 8 hours of sleep everyday, your skin would not have sufficient time to repair your skin and that causes your skin to look 'patchy'. (If you know what I'm talking about lol)

2. WATER

It is very important to drink at least 8 cups of water every single day. By drinking water, it cleans all the 'unwanted' and 'bad' things in your body! (Which also means clearing up acnes, pimples etc). It also hydrates your skin so your skin would not be dry.

3. WASHING YOUR HAIR

Some of you guys might be thinking, "What does washing my hair have to do with getting a flawless skin?"

My answer to you is, washing your hair is so important because you spend a good 8 hours when you sleep, and your hair is always in contact with your face. And if you do not wash your hair, all the dirt and bacteria would still be there and the bacteria and dirt is 'transferred' from your hair to your face. And this leads me to my next point..

4. BEDSHEETS

The next point is Bedsheets. Pillow cases to be exact. If you read on from my last point, you would know that when you sleep your face is in contact with your pillow and hair for almost 8 hours. And that is why it is important to change your pillow cases at least once or twice a week. This prevents any dirt and bacteria 'transferring' onto your face and causing acnes and pimples. (No one likes a face full of acnes)

5. REMOVING MAKE-UP

Removing your make-up is probably something you should already been doing. I understand some times we get home really late and all we want to do is to sleep (without even taking a shower). But leaving your make-up on your face and not remove it, causes you to 'transfer' those bacteria onto your pillow case. Not only that, you're not letting your skin 'breathe' and this would cause your skin to age faster. 

Some good make-up remover wipes I recommend; (probably the best ones I've ever used.)

This make-up remover wipe is so good! When I have eye make-up on, I would use this remover and place it over my eye and after like 3 seconds, I'll swipe it off my eye and BAM! all my eye make-up is removed. And yes, I mean ALL. Of course this would mean the product is a little pricey but if you're willing to pay for something this good then go for it! I bought the container (came with 1 remover wipe packet) and it cost around $21.90. And after that, you can just buy the refill pack for $17.90 when you run out of it.

6. CLEANSING

I'm pretty sure the reason in cleansing your face is pretty self-explanatory. The main reason is to cleanse your face. (Maybe that's why it's called cleansing your face lol). Anyhow, it removes the dirt and excess make-up your make-up remover didn't remove.

6. EX-FOLIATE

Ex-foliating your skin is important because it 'scrubs' away your dry skin and any unwanted skin on your face. After ex-foliating, your skin would feel really smooth and soft!

Some good ex-foliates I would recommend;

They vary from different prices and all work well :)

If you don't want to spend money on an ex-foliate, you can always use a brush or a ex-foliate 'machine' :)

7. MASK 

This isn't a must but it makes your skin better and give your skin benefits so why not? Some mask make your skin lighter (which is a thumbs up if you're asian. Asians would know what I'm talking about haha), and other mask have different benefits. Just buy one that you suits your needs the most :)

Here are some that I loveeee;

The one on the left is a blackhead pore strip and what it does is pretty much remove the blackheads on your nose lol.

That is all for today! I'll talk to you guys in my next entry :)

Drugstore dupe: Benefit's 'they're real ' Mascara!

Hey my lovelies  I've heard so many good things about Benefit's 'they're real' Mascara. So I dropped by the Benefit's counter last weekend to get it!

This product definitely did not disappoint me but I reckon I could find something cheaper at the drug-store that works as good as the Benefit's Mascara. After looking through almost every single mascara at the drug-store  I finally found the one! But before I talk about that product, I'll do a mini review on the Benefit's 'they're real' Mascara!

This is how the packaging looks like. The product is covered by a metallic silver packaging which is absolutely stunning! The words on the packaging did not come off easily (unlike some other products sold in the drug-store).

On to the review, this mascara has to be the best mascara I've ever used! It makes my lashes look super long and natural at the same time. The brush applicator is made of plastic and there is tiny comb bristles on the top of the mascara which is so good for reaching into my inner corner lashes or bottom lashes! It is also smudge-proof which is always a plus! The only downside to this product would have to be that it does not give me the volume I was expecting but none the less, I love it.

This is how my eyelashes look like with the Benefit's 'they're real' Mascara on.


And now for me to reveal the Dupe for Benefit's 'they're real' Mascara...

* DRUM-ROLLS*

It is the Essence 'get big lashes' Mascara!

This is how it looks like. I have to admit it does not look cute at all and to be honest, I wasn't drawn to it but I remembered hearing some good reviews on this product as well, so I decided to give it a go!

I can go on for days (literally) talking about how much I love this product and how much it was worth the $7.95 I paid for it. It gave my lashes both length and volume at the same time! It is also waterproof which is ah-mazing! Not to forget it doesn't smudge on my bottom lash-line at all and it is easy to remove! The only thing I didn't like about it is that it made my lashes clumpy and spider looking LOL

This is how my lashes looks like after giving it 2 coats of Essence's 'get big lashes' Mascara :)
Oh by the way, I forgot to mention that I applied 2 coats of mascara for both the Benefit & Essence Mascara.

And this is how both mascaras look on my eyes, comparing them side by side!
It is pretty obvious that the Essence mascara gave much more volume compared to the Benefit mascara. In terms of length, they both did pretty well.

And this is how both mascara looks on my lashes with my eyes open. It's not very obvious because my lashes are hardly visible and that's why I wear fake lashes quite often! But you get the idea of what's going on here so yeah.. haha


So that's it for this entry. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed typing it!

Lots of love,
xoxo

Foundation Routine! (+Review)

Hey my lovelies!

You can watch my Foundation routine here: 

 

Products used in the video;

[Top: M.A.C blush in Peaches, M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish Finishing Powder In Light.
Bottom: Benefit's Hoola Bronzer, Candydoll Concealer, Garnier Light BB Cream, Benefit's 'hello flawless' Custom Powder in Beige.]

[Benefit's Hoola Bronzer, M.A.C Blush In Peaches, Benefit's 'Hello Flawless' Custom Powder in Beige, M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish Finishing Powder In Light.]

Benefit's Hoola Bronzer
This bronzer is the perfect bronzer. It does not have any shimmer in it, it suits most skin colors and it blends and contour amazingly.

M.A.C Blush In Peaches
I am a huge fan of coral blushes and I am in love with this blush. It really brings out the natural 'flush' look when applied to the apples of the cheeks.

Benefit's 'Hello Flawless' Custom Powder
I have really dry skin but surprisingly  this powder does not make my skin peel or cakey but instead it makes my skin look so flawless! Thumbs up!

M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish Finishing Powder
I love this finishing powder and it keeps my foundation in place all day but I reckon a drugstore powder would do almost the same thing.

[Candydoll Concealer, Garnier Light BB Cream]

Candydoll Concealer
I would recommend this concealer to anyone who has really dry skin and is looking for a concealer that is hydrating and have good coverage. It works well with any skin type too.

Garnier Light BB Cream
I love this BB Cream and I use this every single day! It makes me feel like I don't have anything on my face and it also has a very good coverage.





Thanks for reading!
