Summer


Hello Everyone...


This is a special post that will help you all with your skin issues.  


I also have an outfit idea here that I wore to go around mid town and uptown Houston...






I went for an edgy look on this outfit.  You can wear it in many different ways.


Dress: Forever 21
Necklace, Ring: Charlotte Russe
Shoes: Dsw shoes
Purse: Louis Vuitton


I wore those same accessories to a different outfit.  This could be a edgier look, and the detailing in this outfit makes it stand out.  The lace, studs, chains completes this look.


Summer tip:  I have researched and found some useful info for all of you....
You can visit http://www.makeup.com or here is what it says.


  If you have: Dry, damaged, dull skin
Try: Blueberry Antioxidant Face Mask
Why it works: Blueberries are packed with powerful antioxidants that target free radicals, which can wreak havoc on skin cells. They also hold ellagic acid, a powerful polyphenol that can actually reduce inflammation and skin thickening caused by previous sun damage, and ingredients that can protect skin from future wrinkles caused by UVB rays. Meanwhile, yogurt provides lactic acid for gentle exfoliation and smoothing, and lemon helps brighten the skin.
Ingredients:


  • 8 to 10 blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup finely ground coffee, preferably espresso roast
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup plain whole yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 egg white


Mash blueberries together with the yogurt and lemon juice. After cleansing, spread the entire mixture on your face, neck, and chest, avoiding the area around your eyes. Leave it on for 15 minutes, then rinse well with lukewarm water and pat skin dry.
If you have: Blackheads and clogged pores
Try: Espresso Face Mask
Why it works:The milk and coffee contain naturally occurring acids that help rid your skin of surface debris and dead skin cells, and the cocoa powder helps condition and soothe your complexion.  Added bonus: Caffeine instantly firms skin.
Ingredients:
Stir all of the ingredients together until you have a smooth paste. Spread the entire mixture over your face and neck, avoiding your eye area. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse well with lukewarm water.
 If you have: Redness and sensitive skin
Try: Soothing Facial Mask
Why it works: Whole milk yogurt is full of natural fats and proteins that cool and calm irritated skin,making this a great mask for soothing post-beach skin or sunburns. As a natural humectant, honey provides extra moisture and nourishment.
Ingredients:
Stir yogurt and honey together until smooth. Spread the mixture over your face, neck, or any other irritated or sunburned area. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse well with lukewarm water.
If you have: Acne or breakouts
Try: Fresh Strawberry Mask
Why it works: Strawberries contain salicylic acid, which is a key ingredient in many over-the-counter acne medications. They gently exfoliate skin while the honey kills bacteria that may be causing the inflammation. Additionally, egg white instantly tightens pores and creates a matte finish.
Ingredients:
Put all of the ingredients in a blender on high speed until smooth. Spoon the mixture into a clean container with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. Spread over your face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders (or anywhere else you may have breakouts). Leave on for 20 minutes, then rinse well with lukewarm water.
Expert: Cox
I hope this will help your skin this summer season.

                    Here are few looks I can't get enough of






Catch you all later...Enjoy...<3

Mixing the darker side!!

Hi friends!!

I hope your week went pretty good!! Tomorrow is Friday and it's 11-11-11;how cool is that?  any plans you guys??

This week was pretty busy for me, I had to work on my radio ad and commercial for my advertising class which in fact was a lot of fun.  My group in this class is super productive and fun!! I love it, the class and my group!! :)

Talking about the weather, it is still not too cold here in Dallas, so I still have not gotten my coats out for the winter, weird right? It's November already, and we are still having 70F weather. LOL I guess its a good thing. I personally do not like winters but I love the winter getup.  I get very excited about boots, coats, hats, scarfs, fur, leather......and much more  :)

Anyways, this is what I have for you today, an outfit you could wear on a date, dinner, to any event, concert, or even to a party!!
Enjoy!!






















Dress:  Guess
Purse:  Chanel
Boots and Jacket:  F21
Necklace:  Charlotte Russe


Before the tip section let me update you about the shampoo I was using...Nioxin #5 which was mentioned earlier in my blog. GOOD NEWS:  My hair is not shedding like before at all.  My hair loss has decreased tremendously.  It has worked for me, I can count my hair fall now, which is amazing.  I hope it worked for you guys as well.   

Tip # 8: If you use makeup brushes to do your makeup everyday, then it is a good idea to wash them at least weekly to avoid all the bacteria on you blush, foundation, powder, eye shadow brushes.  It will prevent you from clogged pores and help you stay acne free.  You should wash those brushes like you are washing your hair, shampoo them and condition them. Then, let them air dry.  You will notice that your makeup will look smoother and flawless after you have done that.  Good Luck!! <3
