Moisturelush

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Beauty is not all about applying make-up and color on one’s face. It is also about care, protection and prevention. A lot of us miss on the most important rule in make-up: don’t wear while sleeping!

After a long working day, people are usually tired and just forget about the evening routine and just sleep instead. Let us not forget that it is very important to cleanse and moisturize one’s face before going to bed. Leaving make-up on the face may cause break-outs and rash. I’m pretty sure we don’t want to have those.

After using some make-up remover comes the cleansing part then toner then whatever beauty product you need before the moisturizer. Tedious routine, but once you get the hang of it, you’d actually want to add more steps to your beauty routine.

In whatever season we are in, it is very important to use moisturizers. We always love to be beautiful when we wake up and we don’t want to have wrinkles, right? 

Not just a make-up seller, a lot of beauty brands nowadays also sell their own protection and prevention line. Like MAC Cosmetics, their eyeshadows and lipsticks are to die for but they also came up with moisturizers and other skin creams. So here’s what MAC has in store for their moisturizing line: MOISTURELUSH!

Demand more quality face-time - with two new creams. Moisturelush richly hydrates, protects and primes the skin, while Moisturelush Eye visibly lifts and firms skin around the eyes. Use both to energize and emphasize assets every day.

A richly hydrating face cream that helps moisturize and protect facial skin. Provides instant, long-lasting moisture. Leaves skin soft while lush formula helps balance skin’s natural barrier and alleviate dry skin. Silky to apply, glides on easily. Helps create an even surface for a smooth, more perfect makeup application.

A richly hydrating eye cream with optical effects. Rejuvenates, reconditions and refreshes. Visibly lifts and firms skin around the eyes: helps reduce early morning/late night puffiness and balance the skin’s moisture levels. Provides long-lasting moisture.

Beauty and Fashion Resolution

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008

Happy New Year everyone! ^_^

Here are some of my beauty and fashion resolutions for the New Year:

1. I will only buy cosmetics based on testimonials that they will work.

2. I will only stock a maximum of two bottles of a kind, even if they’re hard to find.

3. I will finish whatever beauty product I have before buying more.

4. When traveling, I will not bring bottles of beauty products more than 100ml. Based on experience, I never get to use them.

5. I will not buy beauty products or clothes just because they’re cheap. I always end up giving or throwing those away.

6. I will make sure to always stick to my daily beauty regimen. Even if it takes around 30minutes for the evening regimen, it is a must that I should not forget any steps.

7. I will not buy accessories or brands just because a lot of people wear them or it is being endorsed by celebrities. Those usually don’t look good on me.

8. No more buying of fake bags.
