The Power of Shea Butter

Ever heard of Shea Butter? Probably not. Or you probably have. Well Shea Butter is a thick white substance that is extracted from the nuts of a Shea-Karite Tree located in the tropics of Africa. But there is more....

Shea butter has powerful healing properties, caused by the high content of fatty acids.

The benefits of Shea Butter are amazing. It reaches out benefiting the skin, body, and Hair.

• It's a perfect moisturizer
• It protects from the sun (protects the skin from UV Rays)
• evens out the skin tone
• It helps diminish & or reduce acne
• It softens the rough skin (such as feet, elbow, knee)
• It works on Blemishes and Wrinkles
• It soothes sunburns, wounds, or skin rash
• It also works on Eczema
• It's a dry skin & dry scalp relief
• helps penetrate the skin WITHOUT clogging pores

And Due to the high content of fatty acid (as mentioned above) Shea butter is included in tons of cosmetic, bath & body, skin care, lotions, shampoo's, conditioner, and hair products. Shea Butter also retains all it's natural vitamins such as Vitamin A, E & F, which work all together to protect the skin, soothing any rash, or dry skin, damaged dry hair (can help repair split ends!) it also balances the skin's moisture, keeps it hydrated, and helps diminish & or reduce scars, premature wrinkles, & facial lines.

Plus, Shea butter will absorb into your skin, leaving no greasy or oily trace behind. Not to mention that it helps restore skin elasticity. Shea butter is a MAJOR benefit to the Skin, body and hair. It has also been known that people use Shea butter for skin problems (But before use: Please consult dermatologist FIRST.) 

How does Shea Butter benefit my hair?

It benefits by hydrating the scalp, protecting the hair from dryness or weather damage, restores the moisture & luster back to dry and or damaged hair.

NOTE: Make sure you don't get tricked into buying Fake "Pure Shea Butter". Shea butter is a white thick gooey substance. Shea Butter should NEVER be green, hard, mixed with other ingredients or anything. It varies in it's color, such as from golden yellow, gray-yellow, to pure white, mostly a creamy soft color. (But NEVER Green.)

• So Make sure you check the Shea Butter before buying. Usually when the Shea Butter is Purely white, it means it's highly refined, and it may not have all the vitamins and healing properties it used to have. 
• NOTE: Shea Butter is usually found in health food market; stores. Or specific online distributor. 
• Shea Butter & OR Shea Butter products can be found in stores like Walgreens, Target, Bath & Body, & Vitamin Shoppe.

Wow, who knew Shea Butter can be such a big benefit to skin and hair? ...Now you know. :)

The Health & Beauty Benefits of Honey

Sure, honey can be a really tasty treat, probably a cup of warm milk with honey? or maybe some homemade honey treats. But have you ever wondered of the benefits of honey? especially how it could benefit your beauty and health?

Honey is one of the ingredients included in most home remedies or home beauty treatments. One of the biggest Health benefits of Honey is healing, it has been known to promote healing for cuts, and helps fight infections, and has been used in traditional antiseptic and anti-fungal medicines. Honey is also a natural care remedy for common problems and issues such as:

• Acne
• Bad Breath
• Hair Loss
• Sleeping Disorder
• Yeast infection
• Soothes sore throats
• As well as benefiting the skin & body; beauty.

Honey is nothing to worry about if you’re on a diet or a healthy eating routine, on the contrary, Honey is cholesterol free, sodium free, and fat free as well. Depending on the brands of honey you find, there will be varying values of calories- but don’t be fretting over those! there is a little secret. Honey actually helps us lose some fat, keep reading to the end to find out how. Please keep in mind though to check the ingredients label, and nutrition facts whenever buying honey, cause certain brands love to add extra sugar or flavoring.

Some of the good things about honey include: being a healthier sweetener option instead of plain ol’ white sugar, it is high in healthy vitamins and antioxidants which help boost our immune system, it helps heal cuts or rashes naturally, and it’s a great source of energy (your body burns honey quickly, so you don’t have to worry about keeping it in the system too long)

Honey is also one of the most popular ingredients included in natural skin care cleansers, exfoliators, products (including Anti-Aging products), etc. Since honey isn’t irritating to the skin, it is used for rebuilding the moisture level of the skin, also by renewing the skin cells thus causes the skin to be softer and younger. Honestly, it is a great beauty aid. Keeping our skin alive and youthful is what Honey does best.

Got a sunburn? Honey heals sunburns by cooling and easing the pain all while repairing the tissues and skin cells. Because it also has hydrating properties, it will leave the skin moisturized and smooth.

Different Beauty Remedies and home treatments with Honey:

Honey Mask: First you will want to rinse your face with warm water (by doing this, you are opening the pores, and once you apply the honey it will start acting as a beauty aid, rebuilding moisture, etc.) Apply a good clean layer of honey on the face, and let it lie there until it dries (max: 15-30 min.). Once done, rinse and clean face with warm water, then finish off rinsing with cold water to close the pores. This helps by renewing the skin, and rebuilding the moisture level by attracting and retaining the water your skin needs. It’s a good quick treatment to do at home

Honey Cleansing: Start by mixing 2 tablespoons of ground almonds, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice [you don’t need to find a bottle of lemon juice, just cut and squeeze 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice into the mixture) (not lime)  once mixed together, apply on the face, gently working the product in, then rinse with warm water, after.

Milk & Honey tradition: Its been a traditional beauty remedy to drink milk and honey everyday to promote healthy properties for smooth skin.

Applying honey on breakouts and acne: It will work well if your breakouts or the acne is caused by bacteria or infections, because as mentioned above, it has great healing properties and is known to be a traditional antiseptic ingredient. Dab a thin layer of honey onto the affected area and leave it on for 20-30 minutes, then rinse with warm water. It leaves the skin feeling smooth and while there may not be an instant change or miracle, you can rest assured that the honey provided good moisture for the skin, repaired the cells, and cleaned up any bacteria that may have been lingering.

You can find tons of Honey masks & remedy recipes in the web, that help and benefit your skin.

Honey for Weight Loss ( Does Honey help you lose weight? )

• Did you know? Honey greatly benefits your health & fitness- it helps by fueling our bodies while we sleep, and speed up the fat-burning metabolism. Balancing fitness and a good diet with honey is sure to get you some great results and differences. Consuming 2-3 tablespoons of honey 1 hour BEFORE going to sleep does the trick (but it won’t work day to night, it takes time. And keep consuming that tablespoon 1hr before bed) this provides fueling for the liver (Fact from the Hibernation Diet: Honey has a 1:1 of fructose to glucose, thus, enabling this fueling for the liver during our sleep.)  Honey is also the key to relaxing stressed hormones, and repairing muscles. Honey is an amazing solution to health & beauty. I will be trying this out, and blogging about it for the next few months.

• When honey is consumed with warm water, it aids in digestion. Why warm water? It’s known all over that drinking warm water during a meal will help you digest your food faster, and I remember learning it from Asian cultures- basically the warm water helps your system raise the body temperature which then in turn causes your metabolic rate to increase. If you would like an extra boost to that cup of warm water and honey, squeeze in some lemon juice.

There are so many natural ingredients around us, who knew they’d be so simple, right at our fingertips, yet so big & helpful?

Top 4 HOT Bronzer's and Blushes

Hey everyone,

Well today I decided to shake things up, so I'm going with a makeup post today. Plus also stay updated either from RSS or GFC cause a lot is coming on Fashion Girlz. Trend Reports, Acessories, makeup looks, Juicy beauty secrets, and- Wait no! Cheater! ;) if you wanna know what's new, you gotta stay tuned.

Top Number 1 is definitely Too Faced "Leopard Love complexion perfection" palette. It's a 3 in 1 palette. You've got your bronzer, blush, and Brighten. Plus what I love about this, is that it's got that color that just simply blends into your skin, and gives such a fine bronzed  finishing look, especially if you add the bronzer just a little bit below the cheekbone. The blush from what I can tell you, is rosy, it's not too light, and not too dark, it's perfect. Also to mention that once you apply it, and swirl it around your cheeks the color will blend in. The Brighten is lovely! I personally use the brighten as a cheek powder since you can see it's kind of combined in the colors. It's got pink, a glowing bronze, and an earthy tone in the middle.

In second place, we've got a Coastal Scents Contour and Blush palette. Also a very popular blush palette and very used throughout the beauty globe ;)

Here you've got all the basics. You've got your two blushes, Contour, shades, and concealer. It's perfect to take in any tote bag when your on the go, or even for short travel when you need some basic beauty essentials, this will be perfect to take along. You have everything you need for face all in one.

Those are the Top 2 so far, next up (#3 & #4) they may not be palettes, but they do get the job done.

My favorite bronzer and blushes from this entire Summer are both from Benefit and NARS. During summer vacation, I took them EVERYWHERE with me, including at the beach. I mean you never know when you might go right to the movies after the beaches. So I would apply some bronzer, blush, mascara & gloss, nothing big. Just short. sweet. and simple.

And that's all for now everyone, stay up-to-date with my next posts ;)

What to eat for breakfast? / Healthy Food Swaps

Wondering which are the foods you eat that are a no-no to your diet? do you feel they are just so delicious (yet terrifying) you cannot give them up? Well I whipped up some easy food swaps here, and also a quick Healthy Breakfast list idea. Remember, there are healthy foods out there that suit your taste buds, and you WILL find them!

 

Quick Healthy Breakfast Ideas: (this is usually the hardest part for the majority, what should we eat for breakfast? a question that comes up thousands of times every morning all over the world. )

 

• Oatmeal- (….with some sugar!) See Oatmeal has tons of health benefits, plus, it’s the right way to start off your day. Oatmeal carries the right source of fiber you need. Not to mention that eating Oatmeal will slow down the digestion of starch. Apparently, multiple studies show that those who eat more oats are less likely to develop a bad heart disease. And of course, Oatmeal (or oats, to put it that way) contain a really good source of Vitamins and nutrients. (like zinc, vitamin E, copper, iron, selenium, and it’s a good source of protein)

• Cereal- nothing better than an old classic bowl of cereal. Some recommended brands of healthy yet yummy cereals are Kellogs, Honey nut cheerios (which helps lower cholesterol), Healthy Valley, Whole Grain cheerios, and even General Mill’s too. What do you have to say now? I just listed 5-6 delicious healthy cereal brands. If you want to spice things up, add some fresh cut fruit to your bowl of cereal. Another twist? Skip the milk, combine yogurt, cereal, and some fresh fruit- you got yourself a scrumptious parfait.

• Fresh Fruit- Yummm!! you know why I love fruit? because it adds color to your plate. If your plate does NOT have color, you are not combining (or eating) correctly. Your plate should always have color. Anyway, what fruits can we go with for the morning? hmm…let’s see: Oranges, Bananas, Pine apple (I love pine apple, great source for fast metabolism) raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, pears, pomegranate, infinite fresh fruits! Oh and here’s a good tip for the morning: You can always make a good natural homemade fruit smoothie.I promise it should not take more than 10 minutes, and it’ll whip up a filling delicious amount. You can use ordinary fruits like strawberries and bananas, add some milk, some sugar, blend and voila! Obviously you could vary the amount of each ingredient, and add as many fruits as you’d like, until you find the right combination that suits you

• Yogurt- Don’t forget the deliciousness that is yogurt! Extremely fresh, comes in all sorts of fruity and tasty varieties. And if you are lactose intolerant or sensitive like me, you should try some Soy yogurt- now wait a minute! Don’t cringe like that! While there may be some horrid brands that taste like cardboard, I guarantee there are soy yogurts out there that are worth it. My favorite brand is O’Soy, I always choose the strawberry flavor, and I love it! :) So don’t be scared, buy one or two and try it out.

• Scrambled Eggs: Prefer something salty for breakfast? Try some scrambled eggs (you could choose to use egg whites instead of yolk if you’re on a serious diet) and mix it up with some fun ingredients, like spinach, tomatoes, cheese, mushrooms, salmon, or chicken- you want to add some flavor to it to wake you up and prepare your body and energy for the day

• Sandwich: You can go crazy with sandwiches. I like mine simple in the morning; cheese, ham, and mayo- and it doesn’t get boring- because it’s all about finding the right brand of ham, brand of mayo, brand of bread, and even cheese, it turns out exquisite. Try substituting white bread for wheat, or rye bread (definitely recommend rye bread). Experiment between butter and mayonnaise, or perhaps sour cream or cottage cheese. Throw in some lettuce, even scrambled eggs if you’ve got the time, chop some tomato slices and you’re in for a bite of flavor.

 

And there you have it, I’ve listed some very good examples of healthy nutritious breakfast foods. Most of the time we forget of the simple, yet when done right, amazing, foods that are easy to make in the morning. And because with most of these suggestions, you can always combine and mix different ingredients, you shouldn’t be getting bored anytime soon!

 

And like I said here are some great food swaps:

• Croutons —> Nuts: You can swap Croutons in your salad for nuts, or even grilled or baked chicken. Do you know how much calories and carbs 1 single Crouton contains? you’ll blow up if you eat more than 10 croutons
• Soda —> Water & Tea: Soda can be delicious, but also a bad health factor, not to mention junkie. I gave up on soda 6 years ago!!! and I’m still living, haha. I swapped Soda for some good Tea and Water, and if you try the “soda ban” and swap it for Tea & water you’ll soon see why it was a great choice. Always remember that caffeine keeps you coming back for more and more, and people later on develop a caffeine habit, be sure to moderate. As for tea, there are literally hundreds, if not dozens, of flavors and different herbal kinds that you could find and try out, if you would like some taste or flavor in your drink.
• Canned Soups —> veggi soup: Canned soups contain high sodium, and what happens when you consume too much sodium? your body will retain water, bloat, and increase high blood pressure. You can swap Canned soups for Homemade vegi soups, it’s got all the nutrients and vitamins you need. And as for flavor? you needn’t worry about that, homemade vegetable soups are just as good as any other.
• White Flour Pasta —> Whole wheat pasta: No big difference in taste, but a big difference in the nutritional aspect, and it’s a healthier choice. Whole Wheat pasta contains the fiber you need for your body. 
• Candy & sweets —> Chocolate covered Bananas or Strawberries: Yummy! For the times you get a little craving for sweets, try out some chocolate covered Bananas or Strawberries (it is DELISH!) I really love it, swapping candy & sweets for fruits/ chocolate covered fruits is a great choice. Your health or diet gets a win and so does your craving.
• Fried Fish /sticks —> Shrimp! : Frozen shrimp has really good protein, comparing it with the Fried Fish or even fried fish sticks, Frozen Shrimp for the win!
• White bread —> Wheat Bread/ or RYE: Yes I know what you must be thinking “Ugh, this again? I’ve heard this a billion times” well yeah you heard it a billion times, but have you tried it once? Do you really want to wait until the billion and one comes along? If your answer is a No, then it’s time to swap White bread for Wheat bread, or Rye bread- Rye bread is such a great choice if you don’t like the taste of wheat (Remember you can always toast the bread)

Hope these ideas and suggestions help you out! :) Let me know

Color my nails update!

Hi everyone,

Wondering what nail colors are in? Keep reading, plus learn some helpful tips along the way ;)

Ok so not long ago, I made a post talking about different subjects in beauty, like updates in makeup, and I also mentioned the summer colors 2010. Here is a new update:

So we are in the mid-summer and soon (SOON, not tomorrow.) going into Fall (Around Mid-September).

And we've got some amazing colors for Summer-Fall 2010! Talk about neutral, quiet baby blues, some coral colors, smooth pink, specific metallic colors, and a whole mess of colors!

For Summer colors there are Teals, turquoise, your pinks, corals, then you've got your neutral nail colors. Here are some featured nail polishes that are great for summer:

There we've got four colors that represent each summer nail color category, like I listed above. (China Glaze for audrey (Teal color), China Glaze Shocking Pink, NARS Midnight Express, Essie Tart Deco Nail Polish)

Upcoming Fall 2010 colors will be posted here on Fashion Girlz. Just to give you an idea, calm smooth colors: neutrals, black, reds, baby blue teals (which look GREAT on any skin tone)

•  Do you have brittle nails? the cause is probably from detergents & water (when you wash the dishes). Using gloves will protect the nails from getting more brittle and weak. Same goes for when your using cleaning supplies (especially bleach)
• Too much filing your nails can also be a bad thing. 

 Check for tomorrow's post on "What's your lip color?"

Jenulence Lip balm & eye shadow review

Hi everyone,

Today I have a review based on a Mineral Makeup cosmetic company "Jenulence" so check it out ;)

Jenulence is a mineral makeup & natural cosmetic company. All their products are environmentally friendly, and do not include any artificial ingredients. And hey! Guess what animal lovers? they are also cruelty free! (They do not test on animals).

They have a whole bunch of products, from Makeup brushes, to tinted lip balms, to body shimmer, to cleansers, toners, blushes & a whole lot more. 

 (Picture from Jenulence.com)

So I got to try out one of their Tinted Lip balms "Alkanet Root DMAE Lip balm" & one of their matte mineral eye shadows "Morning Sky".

Now, what I like about the Alkanet root lip balm, is that, first of all, the scent is not heavy, it's light and nice. It's also very well tinted when you apply it on your lips, it has some sort of nice smooth texture, that let's you apply it easily, just slide apply it on your lips and your good to go. Also in the side information of the lip balm, it contains what ingredients it has, and I am happy to say that they are all natural environmentally friendly ingredients, like: Camellia seed oil, Apricot kernel oil, Aloe vera oil, beeswax, alkanet root, seabuckthorn berry oil, Vitamin E, DMAE, & rose essential oil. 

And in my opinion, it is a very good combination of ingredients to created an awesome Tinted lip balm.

I do also like the color of the Alkanet root lip balm, it's a type of plum/ dark calm rosey-type of color. It would be great for those night-out's when your going to dinner and so.

It is not sticky at all! It lasts very long, actually, for me it lasted on all day, which is great! So two thumbs up for that! 

They also have different lip balms in different colors and "flavors", such as: Vanilla Orange DAME lip balm, Cold Sore healing lip balm, Plumping DMAE lip balm, and a few more.

Now what I like about the Matte mineral eye shadow, is that it is a really good pigmented matte. And when you apply it, it really does have that last-long type of structure, and it's so easy to remove! So you don't have to be rubbing your eyes with warm water to remove the eye shadow. And this is also really good mineral. They also have tons of different colors, a really good variety in eye shadows. Also one of the things that is another good thumbs up, is that it is loose powder, but at the same time it doesn't spread under your eyes. Like you know those eye shadows (even if they are not loose mineral powder eye shadows) they would fall and spread under your eyes, and make it look all badly-applied? well with this one it doesn't happen! I applied it with my ordinary eyeshadow brush, and found no trace of the mineral eyeshadow under my eye.

I also really like this color since it's soothing, it's perfect for day & night! It's like one of those "change it up" eye shadows. You have a nice color during the day, then at night you just re-apply, add some eyeliner, mascara and your good to go! 

Tip: #1 If you have small eyes, it is recommended to use Light shades of eye shadow, the dark shades will just make your eyes seem even smaller.

Tip: #2 If you are looking for shades of eye shadow that really bring out your eyes, you can consider the following. "the trick is, using opposite shades, that are not in the family of your eye color".

• Blue eyes: Earthy colors, bronze shades, neutral eyes or coppers will do the trick
• Green eyes: Plums, violets, burgundy shades.
• Brown eyes: Vibrant blues & navy's are the answer! They will make those eyes stand out and show their true color spirit!

I really liked my experience trying out these two Jenulence products, and I would definitely recommend this to any natural mineral makeup and bath & body lover.

You can check out their site right here: Jenulence 
Oh also they have an Etsy store!! so be sure to check it out

Plus every NEW customer gets a 10% off of their entire order, code: newcustomer

My Lip Stuff - Lip Balm review

Hey Everyone!

Yes, you guessed it! Another Review and Giveaway! And this one is a special one ;) one of my most favorite sites that have TON of lip products, so be sure to keep reading my experience and opinion on one of the products, and enter the special giveaway! ;)

My Lip Stuff is a really nice shop where you can find ALL TYPES of different lip products, from lip balms, to lip sticks, to even Tinted Lip gloss! And one of the things that I always look for in lip products, is good quality. (of course!) And that's exactly what I found at My Lip Stuff

Okay, so I got to try out three different Natural Lip Balms (in the image above) I got the Strawberry Milkshake, Gingerbread House, and the After Dinner Mint.

What I really like about them is that, they are easy to apply, like they have this type of oily texture that just let's you apply it smoothly on your lips and leave a good smooth feeling.

The scent is nothing strong, in fact I LOVE IT, it's so light and refreshing (one of the things I hate most is wearing a strong scented lip product that smells like cheesecake.....err..yeah.) But these have a nice light scent, simply refreshing.

Plus also to mention they have OVER 400 FLAVORS for these Natural Lip Balms....WHOA! Talk about all types of flavors! It's like a Lip Balm Wonderland, so My Lip Stuff definitely has some good variety!

I checked out the prices for these lip balms, and let me tell you one thing, have you ever bought a lip balm with such good quality....and at such a great price? $2.50! Wow...I just have to honestly say that I am in love.

My most favorite out of the Three is the Strawberry Milkshake lip balm, okay, I am OBSESSED with this one! I love it, I wear it everyday, all the time. This one I always carry around in my purse with me, or when I go out I just carry it in my clutch bag, I just simply love this flavor and I am obsessed with it.

I have to say, it's also hard choosing my next favorite, because both the Gingerbread house Lip balm and the After Dinner Mint lip balm are both great! The After dinner mint is so refreshing and so minty! And the Gingerbread house is a really "comfy at home" type of smell. It somehow reminds me of baking at Christmas, it's a really good scent, I can't really tell which of the both are my favorite.

Also remember earlier in the review I said "it has some type of oily texture" . Well guess what? I just checked the lip balm info and it says that these lip balms are made with the finest butters and oils blended to create the ultimate lip moisturizer. I was right! 

These lip balms are not sticky at ALL! so no worries about the "big sticky messes". They also last really long, so you won't have to be "re-applying" your lip balm every 5 minutes, it lasts good and long. They are clean, easy to use, and easy to store in any purse, or even your back jean pocket! 

I think I am definitely going to switch and stick to My Lip Stuff lip balms, for sure.

Oh but My Lip Stuff has tons of more products, not just Lip balms, you cannot believe how much variety they have in lip products! I can't even start to explain, don't be lazy and check it out for yourself.

Helpful Beauty 101! #1

Hey everyone!

Today I come with an amazing post that will definitely be super helpful to all of you who take care of yourself, or are beauty lovers, or if you are just into beauty.  I am just so excited I don't have any idea what to say for the introduction, so instead, let's make it short, and move onto the post! #1 ;)

SKIN: 

Important Daily Care for you type of Skin-

For OILY SKIN- For Cleansing: This type of skin needs a strong cleanser that contains either alpha-hydroxy acid OR that contains salicylic to get rid of all the dead skin, and it will help cleanse and clear your pores, and dissolve some excess that is clogging up your pores. When using moisturizer, make sure you use a non-cosmedogenic type of moisturizer.

For NORMAL SKIN- Cleansing would be easy as 1-2-3. Just gently wash 1-2 times a day with a soap-free formula to cleanse the skin. For moisturizing, any type of light weight moisturizer (it can be non comedogenic) that you feel comfortable using.

For DRY SKIN- To cleanse, you can use any mild soap free formula at night (before going to bed) and then rinse with WARM WATER in the morning. 

Exfoliation for Oily & Dry Skin!

Exfoliating for OILY SKIN- For Oily skin, it is recommended to use an exfoliating face wash on the acne-prone skin type everyday. For a more intense method of exfoliating a at-home microdermabrasion kit that contains or uses salt crystals (recommended: use once a week - max.) and this helps lessen and decrease the appearance of large pores or acne scares.

Exfoliating for DRY SKIN- for Dry skin, it is recommended to be buffed (2-3 times a week) using a milkd microbread scrub. (be sure to AVOID using microdermabrasion, since it can be really harsh on the Dry or Normal type skin.)

What Blush Color are you?

Not many Cosmetic Colors can really bring out your true beauty. It depends the color you use on your skin. For example:

If you have FAIR Skin: It is highly recommended that you use Soft pink colors, or if you tend to use blush a lot, a Peachy Blush is the perfect color for this type of Skin Tone.

If you have MEDIUM Skin: it is recommended that you use a type of vibrant Pinks, Apricots, Gold-Pinks to really bring out that glow in your skin.

If you have DARK Skin: it is recommended that you use colors that really "pop" such as vibrant bright Fuchsia, a Rich plum color, a Medium bight pink rose color is perfect for this type of Skin Tone.

Applying Blush the RIGHT Way? It can sometimes depend on your face shape. Two ways to apply is by applying it on the apples of your cheeks (say cheese and apply). And a new way is by applying it JUST a bit lower from the apples of your cheeks. (Kabuki's are great blush brushes to use.)

What's my type of Bronzer?

Fair Light Skin- bronze, apricots, and peach shades will do the trick.

Light/Medium- Medium Bronze applied on the T section of the face + cheeks. Then apply a Bright pink blush on the apples of your cheeks.

Olive to Dark- Copper, Shimmery Bronze, and deeper hues are perfect for these type of skin tones.

What Colors will make my eyes Stand out?

What if your Blue eyes: using opposite colors will do the trick. Such as earth-type of colors, like a copper, bronze, chocolate, gold, neutral will really bring out those blue eyes.

What if your Brown Eyes: Blue, Navy, Vibrant Violet is the answer! These type of opposite colors will really show out your eyes, and mainly turn the focus on the eyes.

What if your green eyes: Lavender, Violet, Plum, dark red such as burgundy will do the trick

Tip: To bring out your eye color, always remember to use opposite colors, instead of using blend colors that will just make your eyes blend in with the rest.
