Washing your face

      So, I don't know where or when I learned this, but I thought everyone should know this little factoid. You're supposed to wash your face with warm water, to open up your pores and clean them out. After you wash your face, rinse with cold water to close them up. Now you know(if you didn't already)! Enjoy!

Foundations

       Until just a few moments ago, I had no idea what the difference between a liquid and a cream foundation was. I was curious, so I looked up online and came across this posting on the Sephora Beauty Talk site. This was so helpful, especially the primer part. I will definitely have to buy a primer the next time I'm out! I you didn't know either, I hope it helped!

Pony tails

So I was browsing Pinterest today (I think I'm addicted!) and I saw these different types of pony tails. I hate just putting my hair back in a regular old pony, so when I saw this, I just had to post it so others could see it too. These are so cute, I'll probably do every one of these!

5-minute Face

Hey! If you've come here to find a very elaborate, full on contouring, highlighting, and the whole deal, you're in the wrong place. I have never really been into doing all that - weddings and parties, maybe - for everyday wear. So when I saw this 5-minute makeup routine on Glamour, I thought it would be an easy way for me to change up my routine that still doesn't take a whole lot of time. I mean, come on, 5 minutes? Everybody (well almost everybody) has got a few short minutes to rock this super-easy way to look flawless! I hope you enjoy!

Dreadful Winter Skin Tips

So, it's getting to that time of year again...Winter! I know it's only the middle of September right now, but it'll be here before you know it, with the clear skies, brisk air, and gleaming newly fallen snow. But wait, there's also the dreadful dry skin, lips and hair that we all hate. I was looking for some tips on how to care for dry winter skin and I came upon this article, Top 7 skincare tips for winter, from The Times of India. I think these are some great tips, especially the lip balm. Enjoy!

Going Nude (your face!)

       So I was surfing the inter-webs today, and I came across this blog post about The No-Makeup Challenge by the blog No More Dirty Looks. I thought it was very interesting, though not that surprising, that 70% of women wouldn't leave the house without their makeup tools. But then I thought, I never go anywhere without makeup on either! In this day and age, women and girls are so concerned about their appearance that going without "putting their face on" is a crime! Lately, I've been noticing some girls in my school that don't wear any makeup, and their face looks so clean and natural. Sometimes, I feel us girls are doing more harm to our bodies than good by using all these products. So, I propose we all try and step away from the eyeliners, bronzers, and blushes for a fresher look. I know it will be hard for some of us, including me, so believe in yourself! You all are beautiful in your own way :)
