OPI--A Surprise Guest Speaker

Hello everyone! Last Monday in my Introduction of Beauty classes, we had a surprise guest speakers from OPI! Her name was Marthina, Director of International Trade Marketing. I can say this much, at the end of speech I was so amazed and motived! I can't even seem to recall when the last time I got inspired by a guest speaker. Her job title says it all! Marthina is a sophisticated business women that loves her jobs and are passionate about what she does. Her word of advice was to not hesitate on grabbing an oppurtunity when it presents itself.

        Networking is important in this beauty industry so we shouldn't burn bridges because you'll never know when you're going to have to work with he/she. The reason why she inspired be is because the way she presented herself. She's so confidence and yet she's so classy. I myself think it was such a great honor to meet someone in the OPI (Nail Enamel) industry. I'll definitely won't forget this guest speaker! I hope all of you have an inspiration when it comes to the career you love most. Do what you love and having a career won't feel like a job, but something you'd love waking up to do everyday. (:

tarte, Amazonian Clay 12-hour blush

Hello beauties! So I've been working on project the whole day and I came across this amazing blush that I've heard such great reviews on. I've never used any of 'tarte' cosmetics. YES I KNOW! WHAT A SHAME! ): The reason being is that I never knew tarte is such a great natural line and they believe in cruelty-free, paraben-free, mineral oil free, and so forth. I really wanted to try this Amazonian Clay 12-hour blush. YES the title of this blush is what it really does. It's a very long lasting blush that's wearable throughout the day, plus there's vitamin a, e, and c! Another thing I find really interesting is the ingredient of beeswax.

       It's a natural ingredient that acts like a waterproof agent. What this does is that it creates a barrier on top of your skin and blocks the toxic environment out. So if you ever get the chance to check out these amazing blush at Sephora, don't hesitate to sample them out! These blushes comes in 8 different colors from soft pink (dollface) to deep berry (flush). They run about $25 USD but they're definitely worth for the price. Amazonian clay can be worn with any skintypes from normal, dry, to oily. Shoot me a comment if you have any questions or if you have this product, how do you like it? Is it as great as it sounds? Thanks for reading guys! (:

Tips and Tricks on how to use mascaras

Hello everyone! Today is finally Makeup Mondays! I would like to talk more about mascaras and how you can assemble a mascara with these tips and tricks! So there's many ways of using a mascara, but this can be a tip on how to properly use a mascara.

There are 3 steps on how to apply a mascara properly.

First, you'll have to wiggle your wand from left to right from the base of your lashes, not the tip.
Second, while still wiggling your wand, go ahead and pull the wand up through the lashes.
Lastly, close your eyes and comb through your lashes starting from the base, removing excess of clumping.

I usually don't do the last step because the mascara I use usually don't clump my lashes. However, if your mascara does clump your lashes, go ahead and do the last step!

Having too much clumps on your lashes??
Here's a great tip on how to un-clump those lashes!

-After applying mascara on your lashes, use a lash comb and wiggle through the tips of your lashes to separate and un-clump the lashes.

-Another way is to wipe the wand with a tissue to remove the excess blob of mascara on the wand. This will create a cleaner applications with no clumping.

Overall, mascaras are fun to use and they create this bold look for your eyes. Like they always say..

"Your eyes are the window of your souls"

Hopefully this all works out for you! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me! I'll shoot back a comment! (:

Lime Crime Lipstick

Hello everyone! Hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday today! (: I've recently discovered a new brand called "Lime Crime" for their wonderful artistic lipsticks! I haven't brought their products yet, but I was wondering if any of you guys have gotten your hands on these! Their makeup line is very fun and artistic. The lipsticks seems to be very pigmented with opaque colors. I honestly want to get my hands on these, but I'm also looking for the right moment to buy. I've heard a lot of great thing about this cruelty-free makeup brand, and is definitely interested in trying it myself. If any of you have any suggestions of what colors I should get, give me a comment! Thank you (: 

Product Reviews: Clarisonic

Hello! How's everyone doing over the Labor Day weekend? Hopefully you guys are doing good! (: Today I'm reviewing on Clarisonic and the experiences that I've been getting by using this product. Some of you may already have this product and some of you may think on buying this product or maybe you just don't have any interest on investing a Clarisonic of your own.          

             I hope this can actually change your mind on investing in a Clarisonic product because I think it's the most innovative product that I've ever invested in. First of all, Clarisonic works into your pores to clean up the dirt, oil, and makeup residue that's been backed up during the day! This product will get your skin to breathe and create better looking healthy skin. Clarisonic works through your skin to clean at least 6 times of more makeup than manual cleansing. This product usually consist of clarisonic brush heads for sensitive, dry, normal, and acne. A battery charger and Clarisonic's skin care regimens. 

             Although they provide my skin care and travel ancillaries, I usually use my own cleanser, which is Shisheido White Lucent Brightening Cleansing Foam. Basically, whichever skin care regimen you're most comfortable with can be used while using Clarisonic. Not a day go by when I don't use Clarisonic because it always leaves my skin so smooth and clean! When my skin is able to breathe, skin care application is easier to be applied on because it actually helps your skin care work through the skin giving you better results. 

            Clarisonic comes in different colors too! There's purple, pink, blue, green, yellow! You name it, they'll have it. This product ranges from $119 USD to $225, depending on their speeds and function. I actually don't really care about the speed because I literally use the product for only a minute and it already gives me results. Otherwise if you're looking for to use Clarisonic on your body as an exfoliator, then a higher speed is a better choice. It's also great for traveling too! Clarisonic is a pricey product but it's really worth the price for what it actually does for your skin. If you brought a Clarisonic, leave me a comment and let me know what your thoughts are on it! (: Have a great day everyone! (:
