I admit it; I’m a sucker for at-home recipes. I like to go to the grocery store and stock up on some of my favorite beauty ingredients and then just have a blast! Even if you don’t know any recipes, just mix some fruits or vegetables and mash them together; see what happens. After all, that’s how some of the best at-home recipes came about and eventually were made into actual beauty products. So let’s start off with some amazing at-home beauty recipes you’ll be sure to love, trust me! BEER BOOST Yes, this recipe includes beer! Start by soaking a slice of wh...

These days, it can be excruciating to find your perfect foundation shade just because there are so many products out there, it can get confusing. Mineral makeup has undoubtedly made a big scene in the makeup industry, and thank God too, because it’s just an easy no-fuss makeup application, anyone can do it. Mineral, liquid, and powder makeups are all different and therefore not all shades are the same. It is very important to know which foundation is right not only for your skin type, but for your skin color and your skin’s needs as well. Below, I’ve made four differen...

I’ve been getting a lot of comments about how to get rid of pimples and zits, so I decided to just write a post and let everyone know the proper way to getting a clear complexion. A lot of people have been asking me if there is any way to get rid of pimples without using any products, but unfortunately there is no way to do that. You need to use some sort of product in order to get a clear complexion. Start off by analyzing your skin. Is it oily? Dry? Combination? This will help you determine what sort of products you need to use. If you go to any drug store, you will see all kind...

Smoking. Smoking promotes wrinkles in two ways: First, it causes blood vessels to shrink so you don’t get proper circulation. This leads to reduced oxygen in the skin, which slows down the crucial collagen formation. Second, smoking interferes with the skin’s natural defenses against free radicals. When free radicals occur, skin breaks down. Smoking also increases the risk of some skin cancers. Stress. Some doctors advocate short-term psychotherapy to help alleviate skin symptoms exacerbated by stress. Stress can make many conditions worse, including acne, psoriasis and ecze...

Unfortunately, not all perfumes will last as long as you want them to. You spray them on, and in a half hour you can’t even smell them anymore! Well here’s how to smell delicious all day long…without the fading. Wherever you feel a pulse on your body, is where you should apply perfume. Pulse points give off heat to release fragrance, so mist it on your wrists and neck. Dry skin can’t hold scents well, so rub on a perfume’s lotion to hydrate your skin and make sure you smell wonderful all day long. Spray a little perfume onto the inner lining of your clothe...

Pores are just annoying. The problem is that if you don’t treat them as soon as they appear, they get larger and larger. Especially if you have dry skin, enlarged pores can look even worse. You can start minimizing your pores  by using a daily facial scrub such as St. Ives  Apricot Cleanser which goes deep into the skin to scrub and get rid of dirt as well as prevent breakouts. Don’t use any makeup which can clog your pores. If possible, use mineral or hypoallergenic makeup.  This will help you in your process of minimizing your pores. Get rid of all the makeup and products that...

I have tried many makeup removers, and I must say that a lot of them just don’t work! They either burn my eyes, or they don’t remove very well, so I was very happy when I found a new makeup remover that did exactly what it should…remove makeup! Annabelle Eye Make-Up Remover Pads are just extraordinary! Not only is it fragrance free, but it is moisturizing as well. These pads are great for waterprooof and long-lasting makeup. The pads are a little oily, which is great for dry skin, but not so great for oily skin. Either way, this product is amazing and even if you do have oily...

Dry skin can be tough to deal with, especially if you have it all over your body. For a dry complexion, you must remember that you need to moisturize at all times and stay away from harsh, drying products. Start off in the morning with a moisturizing face wash. This will put back some moisture in your skin. Stay away from toners as they will strip your skin of its natural oils. Moisturize your face with a good moisturizer (don’t cheap out on this as your dry skin depends on it). You don’t need to buy the most expensive moisturizer, but don’t get a no-name cheap concoction as ...
