3 Types of Aging Skin

Sagging Skin - Stop your face from heading south

As we age one of the first differences we see is a loss of firmness and definition in the face. In order to regain the sharp facial contours that you had in your youth, you should use lifting massage techniques and apply facial treatment that are designed to bring back the ideal 'V' shape of the face.

Wrinkles & Lines - Make lines do a disappearing act



This anti ageing night serum from Estee Lauder seems to be placed at top rank. 

Treat fine lines before they deepen by applying serums once they've started appearing. Apply a wrinkle-specific, concentrated treatment on severe wrinkles such as your crow's feet and lines around your mouth. Keep skin hydrated: switch to a richer daytime moisturiser and incorporate a night cream or treatment in your routine.

Loss of Radiance - Get your Glow Back
Another tell-tale sign of ageing is a loss of radiance. As we age, skin takes on a yellower hue and becomes more sallow. Skin tends to become drier than usual. Combined, this results in a lack of complexion. Boost radiance in the skin by drinking more water, exercising and applying a radiance restoring serum, or one that boosts the rosiness in your skin and tones.

Urban Decay Ammo Palette Review

Description:

I never had bold and glittery colors in my collection. That's the reason instead of the NAKED palette (which has become everyones favourite) so I settle for this palette. It comes with primer in a small tube. Everyone know that urban Decay produces one of the best primer. The colors are located inside gorgeous metallic color with small mirror and a brush inside.Comes in a travelling size, this palette contains 10 shades. Look at the picture above for the color's name.All the colors are shimmery and glittery. The sample I tried on my hand is comparison between coastal scents colors (left) and UD(right). Notice the UD colors are very glittery and very much suitable for night out and parties!

Why I like:

Shattered is my favourite color. This color can be beautifully blended on my lid. I am also using smog and chopper to produce nude look. All these colors are great for night out. Smog, sin, chopper can be applied for day look. But remember, a little bit color would be enough to cover!

Why I don't:

If not blended properly, the glitters tend to fall out. Make sure to apply some powders under your eyes to avoid fallout when the makeup applied. Oil slick (black) is not very dark to create smokey eyes.

Conclusion:

I boughtbthis palette in Sephora Singapore (ion orchard) when I could receive 20% discount! This is not an easy palette. You need to think twice to wear to office or conservative places. This palette is most suitable for anyone who loves glitters! I am not really a fan of glitter, so I would not consider purchasing this palette again.

Coastal Scents Smokey Palette Review

Descriptions: 

I have purchased this beautiful eye shadow palettes from Coastal Scents. The name is " Smokey Paletes" with 36 eye shadow colours. The ingredients as captured in the picture above. You can find all the colours that you need in this palette; brown, black,green, blue, purple and red. 

Why I like:

I definitely love all the colors. Most of the colors are pigmented. Above picture shows that I have tried two colors which are the blue and green. The colors are quit bright. The blue color is glittery which is suitable for night makeup. Few matte colors are also available for day makeup.

Why I don't like:

Nothing that I don't like about this colors. But there are some colors which are very light and when applied, the original color of your lid can be seen. They just add some glitters. Probably these colors can be used as base!

Conclusion:

I will recommend this for the beginners in makeup. These colors are easy to apply and stay for more than 8 hours. Good to try!

WHAT'S FOR LUNCH

Tips to prepare fulfilling and low calorie meals:

1. Choose food high in fibre as these will help you feel full for longet. Examples include wholemeal bread, salad mix, and brown rice.

2. Don't be afraid of spreads for your sandwich to make it tastier. For example, try hummus instead of butter or mayonnaise or add mustard to your sandwich.

3. It's the dressing that kills you in the salads, choose olive oil and vinaigrette or even salsa to go with your salad instead.

4. Drinks count, too! If you must have a soft drink in your lunch box, make it a diet soda. Otherwise, opt for iced water or Perrier with lemon.

5. If you must have something sweet with your meal, pack in some fruit; frozen grapes are a nice treat.

6. Try to eat a protein and carbohydrate-based food together; drink water instead of soft drinks or sports drinnks.

*tips: eat fruits an hour before your meal to help your digestion system after a heavy meal during lunch.

LIP MAKEUP TIPS

Just like your skin needs sun protection, so do your lips. So don't forget to slick on a lip balm with SPF daily when you're out. It not only prevents sun damage but will also help keep your pucker smooth and supple. And when your lips are dry,don't lick them.Instead, drink water to hydrate or moisturise with a lip balm. Saliva evaporates quickily and can dry out your lips.

To make your bold lip colour really pop, dab a little liquid foundation over your lips before lipstick application. This helps create an even and neutral canvas so your vibrant red,pink stays trus to its colour. And for the perfectly defined strong lip, always apply your favourite hue with a lip brush. Alternatively, line your lips with a lipliner similar to your lippie, before lipstick application.

A strong eye and lip is possible. Play with bold lips with oodles of lashes. And for those whodare, go for a turquoise, mint green or teal eyeliner together with a strong lip.

*tips: to make the lips appear big, don't apply lipsticks all over your lips. Make it very light at the area where the two lips touches.

MAKE FOUNDATION STAY WHOLE DAY

Once you step out of home, you want your makeup to stay for the whole day. Preparation of skin is very important to make this possible.

1. Prep the skin with a three minute facial massage with moisturiser. Hydration is key to perfecting any makeup look so spend some time to soothe the face.

2. Apply primer as a foundation base. This will help to close the pores and prevent oil accumulation on the skin.

3. Thin out your liquid foundation by mixing it with a drop of cleansing oil. It will give a natural dewy look.

4. Dust a little loose powder only on the T-zone.

*Tip:skip the loose powder for a dewy and shinny look.

DRAW PERFECT EYEBROW

Few tips whe you are drawing your eyebrow:

1. Make sure you eye brows are shaped properly. Go to a reputable salon and they should know the type of eyebrow shape that suits best for your face.
