Baking the Face, Cooking the FACE?

I know a lot of people have been throwing the term baking and Coking in makeup terms, but what really is this?
Baking/Cooking is a drag queen makeup technique often used on celebrities when they need their makeup to last through heat and oils. What this essentially do is remove excess oil from the skin, allowing the user to have their makeup on longer.
How is this done?
Depending on the effect desired you can use different items. The main thing you'll need is a base which could be a liquid foundation or concealer, a brush and a sponge/ wedge. Now this differs per person if you want a very highlighted look uses a brightening loose/pressed powder such as a yellow shade or lavender depending on your skin tone. if you want a natural appearance use a powder close to your natural skin tone. try applying this to the under eye to the tops of your check bones and down the center of your nose.

Step 1; apply your bases, such as primer, foundation or concealer and quickly blend that out
Step 2;  with your sponge apply a thick layer of powder and leave on for 10-15 minutes depending on your oiliness levels.
Step 3; after the appropriate amount of time has passed  take a brush and flick the excess oils and powders away. you should have a flawless effect in the skin.

My personal opinion,
 I don't like doing this it personally bothers me. I'm not a famous person, and the amount of products left on the skin doesn't cut it. When I look into a mirror I see powder and it bothers me. I still like to see skin and a natural glow after my makeup. Don't get me wrong it looks beautiful on camera but in real life its a little much.

Innisfree Jeju volcanic black head out balm

Innisfree Jeju volcanic black head out balm. It's a more natural company that uses volcanic ash of the main ingredient. All the products are recyclable and good for the environment. The are derived from Japan.
Claims:
Jeju volcanic ash absorbs sebum and melts black head with oil massage.
Balm type that turns to smooth oil by temperature with massaging.
Melts black head, oxidized sebum, to offer deep cleansing for clean skin.
Essentially this product is made to melt into your pores and remove excess dirt and oil that makes them appear larger.
You supposed to grab a small amount and rub that in to the pores from 3 to 5 minutes warming up the balm into an oil. Then rinse with warm water.

 what this does for my pores is Remove excess oil and dirt. It does feel really weird but it makes sense. It's like if you want to really cleanse your face using oil first helps softened skin pull up dirt. As for black heads, they were easier to extract and if removed with a tripling cleanser, the pores feel fresh and clean. Do you need this no. but it I fun and it helps if you suffer from access oils.

Ashely madison scandel

For those of you whom haven't been in the loop, Ashely Madison is a website that allows married individuals with the opportunity of having an affair and for a fee "delete all transactions". That company slogan is "Life is short have an affair." Well their affair had been threaten, meaning they were threaten by hackers to reveal the all the information of all of the clients. Many people assumed they would be safe due to the delete transaction option but that didn't really delete anything just stored that information in another location.
In 1 weeks time, information about Madison users were available.
This leads to a big question was Leaking of persona; information right or wrong?

And I say no. Its not right to leak that information. Yes people where wrong to cheat, and they do deserve punishment but we cant glorify hacking of personal information. what if it had been a website for Recovering alcoholics or medical info. All of that information was privet and two moral wrongs don't make a right. if it had been sent as a message to their wives or husbands it would be a different situation, but it is now information for the public. People are beginning to link email and name, threatening those people with exposure. People are actually committing suicide as a result. So these are the facts you can take it as you will.

My hair growth oil

it is no secret that everyone has different hair types, and every ones hair has different needs. MY hair type is dry, frizzy and wavy. It also doesn't grow much, to my disappointment but I have started using my on concoctions of oils and vitamins to help my hair grow and changing up certain routines.

For hair growth oil here's what you'll need

• a microwavable bowl
• a serum container but if not a closable container
• sweet almond oil
• peppermint essential oil
• Organic coconut oil
• Canola oil
• toothpick

1. now take 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and place it in the bowl
2. take 2 tea spoons of sweet almond oil in the bowl
3. 1 tea spoon of canola oil  in the bowl
4. and lastly 5 drops of peppermint oil
5. now place bowl into the microwave for 10 second
6. once down mix the oils with the toothpick
7. place your oils in your container

I apply this every 3 to 7 days and focusing on the scalp and the ends. The reason being it that coconut oil is super beneficial and is made from fatty acids that are compatible to human hair. the almond is disinfecting and the canola oil is fast absorbing. The Peppermint oil is a stiminulater for the scalp.
I leave on this mixture for as long as I can usually 3 to 5 days.
To apply take some into your fingers, rub your hands together to war, oil. Then massage into hair for 30 seconds in each section of hair or 2-3 minutes on the entire scalp.
So have fun.

Bath and body works collection

I enjoy Bath and Body Works products but I don't go as ham as lot of people. I usually shop around once or twice usually around the sales time.  I use around 1 bottle every one half month sometimes every 2 months don't really use much because it does lather really well. What had inspired me to do this was I just finish off my white tea and ginger body wash. I really really like it and I wish I had known about this before so I would have bought more, but now that I do I want to share some stuff that I really like with you. Keep in mind I don't run out of lotion much so I don't buy a lot of it and I do use a lot of travel sizes for the gym or like when I go visit somebody's house and you work out or it gets too hot so travel sizes are just super convenient and if I want to I can refill them but that's usually like a last resort.

Cosmetics Wholesale

All cosmetics wholesale is an online website that offers you cosmetics at a lesser price really highend and some drug store, and inexpensive brands. I was curious about this after reading some reviews. I really want to try some high end products but I didn't want to pay full price. How they do it is it the offer you unused testers and cosmetics that could not the sold in a timely fashion. So I thought it would be a good experience just to try out for more luxury products and some of my favorite brands.

The website design isn't super easy to navigate but you do get generalize categories such as face lips and eyes. So it's not crazy difficult. So as I was looking through this website, I decided to get a little look see. And I found Nars, Dior, Becca and a lot of others. Impressed I wanted give these things a try.
I got my package today and I was very very impressed by the amount of bubble wrap and  safety precautions. I ordered foundations which came in glass bottles and they were in a ziplock bag, covered in bubble wrap , put together by tape in some more bubble wrap. so that was not breaking at all, which was super awesome because sometimes companies don't really do that too well.
What I got
so I did some products.  I've had some Becca samples here and there and I did like it but I want to try something that seemed very interesting to me. The Becca luminous skin colour ultra sheer Foundation SPF 25 + and the best thing about this is it had 50 ml or 1.7 fluid ounces which is nearly double the amount of any foundation ever. That's crazy and it does come with a pump which is super awesome. As it says this is an ultra super but it does have the most beautiful glow to the skin and nice looking texture which is awesome specially if you use a  silicone primer. I found it for $9.99 USD origonal cost od $42.That's less than some drugstore foundation these days. I went on my gut and chose the color Nut which fit me to the T.
This does not give you good coverage it doesn't claim to be but it does give us an a beautiful wetlook, and I will be using this on lighter makeup days. This does have a faint scent but it doesn't irritate or smell  badly.

I also got a foundation from Vincent Longo but unlike the back of one they had a deal with the Vincent Longo where it was to foundations for the price of half of one which is insane to me. I paid 60 90 94 to visit Louisville Foundation which would have been if I had bought it from the actual website $92 usd because one of those foundation would cost $46. Michelle name is Vincent Longo liquid canvas Dew finish SPF 15 wedding clothes foundation it has one ounce or 30 ml and its for natural glowing finish this does have good coverage more of a medium buildable coverage. I am I took the color golden oriental which suits me once again to the T I don't know what it is but I'm pretty good at choosing foundations if you have medium skin tone more of a yellow to neutral undertones definitely be for you and be cool undertone I'm not sure how this would work this goes for the Becca as well very cold any yellowish could hit neutral but nothing cool.
I am actually very familiar with Vincent Longo statics and I really do like them that much like Bodyography that very valuable and nothing back to stay with them from everything I've tried and I've tried this sticks lip liners blushes so gorgeous nothing bad to say about them.
The last is a fusion beauty product I've never used fusionbd but the blonde hair looked so beautiful that I had to get a chance. The color I chose is sunshine and this is supposed to be in micro technology innovative activated bronzer but you sound very fancy but it's a bunker so nothing bad about it. Now when you open it has a nice mirror good quality it's very big almost the size of my hand if they give you a good massage if you have a two faced bronzer pretty much the same size it contains 10 grams of product and I bought this on sale from the website for $6.99. The actual color of the phone number is just unspeakably beautiful. It has a peachy - Brown with a golden reflection. It suits my skin tone to the T just it's perfect i could not have made a better choice; and I was really terrified because I was purchasing onlinr. And I wasn't sure if it's going to be too light but this is definitely for a person of tan skin tone I would be afraid to use this on someone who's REPL just because it might look very burnish on them but wow it is amazing it has a $39 value which I completely understand the price because this is just fabulous and I use is very light hand.
My pole purchase came to be 37 dollars including shipping and taxes and a $2 off coupon that I had. But it was completely worth it for the $173 value. And I will purchase from them again in the future.

I am not sponsored by anyone I only give my opinion and honest review.

Back to college Haul

I'm back to school is a stressful time in one's life, but you'll have to do it. And I think that this is a way to get what you need on a budget. I think this is good for college students or just freshmans or high school kids whom don't want to spend too much time in the morning getting ready. Personally, the whole getting dressed just kills me, so my wardrobe is filled with basic necessities as you can tell. All of these items I pretty much got on sale but this is not you have to go get it but more of an option for an easy wardrobe.

The most important thing to have a book bag that you know you like and can carry it what u need. I got myself in a flower pattern book bag for $25 ask JCPenney. But you can find them elsewhere for less I'm pretty sure, but I did have some coupons so it came out to be even less than that. But this is a regular zipper book bag with two front pockets and no sectioning, I really didn't feel like I needed it but if you are someone who is very particular about having a lot of pockets try and find them there's a lot out there. It's also very sturdy material so I know that I can trust it with my laptop.

For materials

I keep one spiral notebook around two pens and a pencil, my laptop, its charger, and a phone charger. I keep it to the bare minimal sometimes with a folder that has loose leaf paper that way I don't have to carry a actual notebook. You have to find out what works best for you I take great notes with my laptop but some people take better hand notes you just have to see what works for you.

Emergency items

-hand sanitizers

-advil or pain killer of choice

-mini umbrella

-band aide

-sanitary products ;

         •pad/ tampons

         •sanitary napkins

         •small pack of tissue paper

          •gum/mints for breath

Clothing

 

Well I feel that comfort rules over fashion, and I know some people love to dress to impress and I'm okay with that but I find it unnecessary when it's 9am and you're going to be sitting in a classroom filled with people you'll probably forget in a couple of months. Sorry to say it but that's how it is.

Generally

The best thing that I have gotten into in 2015 is Joggers. They are amazing and don't look like complete sweatpants, and they feel amazing and look good. I have purchased sweatpants from multiple places but the most affordable have been from forever 21 for $12 USD. I bought one in gray and another in Burgundy. I also have another one from H&M that I wear on an everyday basis all of these pants are a size large.

 Jean's/ Shirts

I bought 2 high waisted pants from JCPENNEY, the company is Decree and the focus on juniors clothing. The pants were originally $42 USD but I purchased them for $19 each. I purchased one in light blue and a dark blue both in size 13, but they are supper stretchy.

• 3 pairs of thick leggings. These are just basic you can get them.  Anywhere for $10 each I got mines at JCPenney and forever 21. Size L.
• Yoga pant, skinny not bell bottom for $10 forever 21.
•  3 t-shirts. $7.99 each. An avenger’s one, a ninja turtles, and a plain black tee. Size XL
• 2 plain long sleeve crop tops to pair with my high rise pants. $5.99 at forever 21. Size L

Shoes

•  Flower pattern slip on shoes $8 from sears. Size 9

•  Black shoes/ tennis shoes from forever 21 $10. Size 8.5

•  Green combat boots from K-mart $20.

One of the last items was a nice warm  stretchy jacket in gray for the colder fall time. Bought at sears in a size XL for $19.99.

These were just some things I know comes in handy for the on the go life style. One thing I did not mention is to always have some sort of snack on hand and a water bottle.

Hello everybody, I'm back with another installment of my wantable makeup box. For those who are familiar what's Apple have multiple subscription boxes, including a makeup box, A accessories box, and a intimates box, a fashion box and a workout box. The last to work differently than the other ones there more as if you like them keep them and pay for them, while the other boxes are just subscriptions that if you don't like something to return it but you won't get the credit for the next time.  They have very extensive quizzes to help them identify your preferences.
Anyways this time what will decide to include skin-care options to their makeup box. Which excited me, because I'm a huge fan of skin care. So I put in a special request for a skin care and that didn't really want to go single eyeshadows.

Pure Smile Choosy Lip Pack

Pure Smile Choosy Lip Pack, this is a very cute and entertaining product. It's used for moisturizing badly chapped lips. They are left on the lips for 15-20 minutes. Price ranges from $1 USD to $2 USD, for a silicon lip patch, and they come a multitude of flavors including peach, milk, fruits, and more. 
My first time using these,I used a fruit flavor and I applied this straight after removing my lip products and I didn't think it was effective.

How it works best:
On my second attempt I decided to make it worth my time. I exfoliated my lips and used the patch after it had been refrigerated for 15 minutes and left it on for around 25 minutes and my lips felt very hydrated and tasted really good.

 

On the negative side they don't stick to your lips by themselves so you have to be laying down for a while. Otherwise these are fun inexpensive way to pamper yourselves.
