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.

Mineral Basics Eyeshadow's Review

Hey everyone,

This week is going great so far, how about yours? ;) Well we've got two upcoming Reviews + Giveaways, such as the Mineral Basics & The Cream Perfume Company (Kaponga.com) and well I am very excited! Also very glad to know that my readers are enjoying and are interested in my posts, and that just makes my day :)! I am glad those of you who read are interested in what I post, and I will keep doing more! ;)

So let's get started with the Mineral Basics Eyeshadow Review + Giveaway!! ;)

Mineral Basics is a Mineral Makeup brand that focuses on giving the best natural cosmetics to people with any type of skin tone. And you know, I am a sucker for Mineral Makeup ;)

They have tons of Cosmetics, from Mineral eyeshadows to lip products, Makeup brushes, to gift sets and collections and much more.

I got a chance to checkout the mineral eyeshadows

And got to try out 15 eyeshadow samples, and these were the 15 samples I chose:

What I really love about the Mineral Basic Eyeshadow's is that they are all really pigmented. A really good quality. I never had any problem applying them or anything. They are not too shimmery and not too matte, just the right type. Also, you can choose if you want shimmer or matte, that doesn't really matter. To tell the truth, I did use up all of these for different looks, which turned out amazing!

Also to point out that the Apricot Corrector, Pink Corrector, Earth, and Perfect Tan are also used for cheeks - mineral powder. Which is really cool. I really did love the Earth since it was perfect as a summer Bronzer, which I applied on the cheekbone.

They are easy to apply and easy to take off. But what impressed me the most, is that it didn't waste so easily. I created a smokey eye look using Forest AND Wind & Sea and I've been with it the entire day probably for 6-8 hours, and it lasted, which is what I always look for in any makeup I tend to try out.

And it's really hard to choose one favorite, since they all colors are beautiful. Some that Stand out are the Gold Shimmer, Bronze Shimmer, Paradise Aqua, and Emerald Fire really stand out (not in like the whole "shimmer" or too bright concept. But more like they stand out from all the colors; )

I had a great experience trying these out, and I would recommend anyone who is a Mineral Makeup Lover, like myself. And trying new colors is great, because I have never seen these type of colors in any palettes or eyeshadows I have tried before. The Mineral Basics eyeshadows are unique.

Giveaway was sponsored by Mineral Basics

Ooh! Sounds like an exciting giveaway doesn't it?

And A Big Thank You to Chandi from Mineral Basics! :)
