Beauty 101 - Foundation


Picking the right foundation is one of the most important things when it comes to beauty. It can also be very difficult since there are so many out there. Here is a breakdown of the all the different types...

Tinted Moisturizers: Sheer, minimal coverage. Great option for warmer weather.

Mineral Foundations: Medium to full coverage. Work great on sensitive skin - pigment is derived from the minerals rather than synthetic ingredients.

Oil-free and matte liquid foundations: Medium to full coverage. Work best on oily skin, but all skin types can use them for a matte finish.

Standard liquid foundations: Water is the first ingredient. Work best on normal to dry skin.

Powder- based foundations: Good for normal to oily skin because of their light texture.

Cream-to-powder foundations: A cross between a pressed powder and liquid foundation. Leave a matte, powdery finish.

High- definition foundations: Designed with high-definition lenses in mind. Reflect light instead of absorbing it, blurring fine lines and imperfections.

Airbrush foundations: Applied with a fine spray. With practice, they won't streak or cake; they leave a light, even coverage for a natural finish.

I hope this helps!

Hot Mess Monday - Alicia Keys & Sienna Miller


It's Monday again! I know you are all sitting at your desks hating life and dreaming of jager bombs. I know I am...ANYWAY...today I have two ladies who committed crimes of fashion recently. The first is Alicia Keys -lovely voice but heinous outfit. First off, that jacket - get a refund honey. It's fug. It looks extremely cheap but, that isn't even the bad part...look down...her shoes...my god...her shoes! WHY? WHO MADE THOSE AND WHY ARE THEY SO UGLY!? They make her look like a super villain. Darling, have you ever heard of Christian Louboutin? He makes nice shoes - try him. Please.

Next we have Sienna Miller. I'm going to go easy on her because clearly she got attacked on her way to the event and that is why her dress looks like that...Poor thing. She must be devastated because she looks like a idiot. At least her shoes are nice though! They must be Louboutins...

Happy Monday! I know, I know...there is nothing happy about it...

Fake it, fake it, fake it!!! Get a flawless complexion in four easy steps & glow with natural pefection!!!
1 - Start by applying Clarins Beauty Flash Balm to brighten your complexion & provide a base for your make-up.
2 - For your make-up base use a tinted moisturiser to even your skin tone which will keep it light & natural, try No7 Soft & Sheer Tinted Moisturiser.
3 - Then apply a concealer over the top of this to your under eye area & any blemishes that need evened out, try Laura Mercier's Secret Camoflague concealer, they have two tones in each compact so you can blend to the perfect colour & as they have a very high pigment you hardly need to use any to create a perfect coverage, making it look like to have no make-up on!

Ardell False Eyelashes

I don't like spending a lot of money on something if I don't have to. Ardell False lashes look beautiful on, come in lots of shapes, sizes and styles and they are a lot cheaper than "name brand" lashes. I wear Ardell lashes all the time. My favorites are 116 and 120. Other brand name lashes are great too but why spend double the price for the same thing?

Try them out and let me know what you think.

Lazy Saturday

Hiya!
Fast note, yeah? ^^

Today I woke up in bad mood. I didn't like myself and I was very angry.
Later I had japanese lesson and I felt better a little bit but still not very well.

I feel very lonely and lost in this world. I don't have many friends and I'm often sad.
Recently people care only about money, expensive clothes and accessories. I hate it!
Because for example my peers can't make money by themselves. They have their parents money. But they act like masters of the world or something. Care only about themselves.
Of course not everyone. But the most.
Parties, alcohol, expensive clothes. It sucks. I feel worthless when I am with them. Like someone worse. I don't know what to do.
I think that what is the most important is our inside, not outside. >.< Today I tried to do stronger make-up with black crayon. What do you think?





Oh well. I can't stand school anymore.
I feel like loosing the best years of my life. I always have to think about lessons, exams, homeworks. It's sick! During the school week I have to study everyday. In weekend I think I should do. But I can't do it. In last class of junior high school I studied a lot to pass exams and enter this high school. I thought that now I will have some free days and will relax. But I was wrong. I have to study more than in the last class of junior high school.
I have headache more often. I am very sleepy. And nervous. THAT'S what school does with people. I can't recognize myself. It's not me. Aww...

Okey, I have to end now. I think I will go for a walk.

Bye bye!

And the winner is...

Fabulous Friday - Blake Lively & Scarlett Johansson

I know, I know, Blake Lively is a reoccurring fashionista on Fabulous Friday, but I just couldn’t help myself. I love this dress. Can you guess why? It is a Victoria Beckham creation! Looooove! You can’t really tell in the picture, but it is satin trimmed. It is just beautiful and on trend with the accentuated shoulders. Lively works it perfect with midnight blue pumps and glamorous make up for the Angel Ball in New York City.
Our second fashionista is Scarlett Johansson. To be honest I am not a fan of her and I don’t find her to be all the gorgeous but I think she looks great in this red-hot Givenchy couture sheath and Dior pumps for the Moet & Chandon Tribute to Cinema event in Tokyo. I also love her smoky cat eyes!


Happy Friday!
