How to fix clumpy mascara

Let’s face it, this happens to every tube of mascara over time. The problem is it dries out and then starts to form unattractive lumps. To help prevent this, don’t pump your mascara trying to get more on your wand; you’re basically pumping air into the tube causing it to dry out even faster.

Although mascara should be replaced every 3 to 4 months, I use to replace mine much sooner just because it dries out so fast and creates undesirable results. But, there’s an easy fix for that! Get eye drops and put a couple drops into the tube, and then rub the wand around inside. The Visine softens the mascara liquid, making it apply as if it were a brand new tube!

Being confident about your weight

They are some tricks to being this person so just sit back and relax while reading this and you could be someone who is confident about there weight. First of all don't compare yourself to others wherever it be your friends the people on your television,the people you see in the magazines. Forget about the women you see and take a good look in the mirror and be happy with yourself because you are you! Dress different don't always stay in the same old styles that used to work for you but now they don't. Go shopping for new clothes try a new style on you which may make you more comfortable just make sure that these look good on you. Focus on who you are and wear clothes which match your personality not how people want you to look.

Cheek tint vs blush

A cheek stain is a cosmetic product applied to the cheeks to give them a little bit of color. This gives the appearance of a healthy, fresh glow on the face. The product is similar to a more traditional powder blush but is slightly more versatile, natural-looking, and easier to apply. It is a relatively new product, but is quickly becoming a staple in many makeup cases; some cheek stains can double as lip stains as well. Most cheek stains come in a gel or liquid form, and are often water-based, oil-free, and alcohol-free, making them appropriate for all skin types. They may have an included roller or makeup sponge for application, or they may be applied with the fingers or a separate makeup sponge. They are applied to the cheeks in the same manner as a blush, to the cheekbones and blended softly up to the temples.It is a good idea to apply cheek stain onto a cleansed, moisturized face. This type of cosmetic product may be applied alone, or it may be applied on top of foundation that has been spread over the rest of the face. The cheek stain will give the appearance of a slight blush, as if someone just pinched the cheeks. Keep in mind that cheek stains typically look much darker in the jar than they appear on the skin.

There are benefits to using cheek stain instead of powder or cream blush. First, because the product is actually temporarily staining the skin, it lasts much longer. This is particularly beneficial in the hot summer months, as well as for people who have oily skin. Second, cheek stain is less likely to cause blemishes than other types of makeup, because it sits more lightly on the surface of the skin, and does not typically contain pore-clogging ingredients. Finally, because such a small amount of stain is used for each application, the product tends to last for a long time.

Cheek stain may be purchased in department stores, makeup stores, or online. It is typically more expensive than a cream or powder blush. Applying cheek stain can make one look more refreshed and awake, because it brightens the face with a little bit of color. For minimal makeup in the summer, often a combination of cheek stain, mascara and lip gloss, will give a bright, fresh appearance while avoiding the need to constantly re-touch or reapply makeup throughout the day.

Lancome hypnose drama mascara

So I bought this as part of a Christmas season holiday gift pack promotion which came with a mini eye makeup remover , eye kohl and hypnose mascara. I tried the hypnose drama and actually bought it on suggestion from the saleswoman . I actually hated this mascara for the brush being so awkwardly shaped and cumbersome and for getting mascara all over my lids . It gave volume but left my lashes looking spidery and any attempt to apply a second coat made them clump and pieces of lash fiber would break off !!! I forgot about this and bought Mac Haute and Naughty which I loved ! But don't get that in your eyes it burns like hell and also dissolves with watery eyes !!

I returned to my hypnose drama , and what a surprise !!! This time I was able to apply it better and it does give me uber volume for my fine medium length lashes. You have to use the spoon shaped brush first. Then turn it around to brush lashes upwards carefully . However I keep a cottonbud handy for lash smudges ...

Pros :
-Builds volume on wimpy lashes in one stroke to look fake (trust me on this one. I've used low to high end)
-doesn't run or smudge even with watery eyes
-doesn't burn or sting 
-no discernable lash loss when removing ... I like to rinse it off with water before using eyemakeup remover to reduce lash fall 
-unsure if it's this mascara or the lipocils treatment I'm using when I remember to. But my bottom lashes are much longer than I remember them to be 
-good pure black 
-no fragrance when wearing it , initially on application it has a weird nose drops scent 

Cons:
-if u get it on your upper inner lashline it can transfer to your bottom lashline in the day ... Cottonbud in the morning can prevent this 
-can flake but very mildly , talking one or two specs 

I just repurchased it a year later , so hopefully
it will work as well !

Clinique even better foundation

This was my first foundation that I purchased and I used to like this until I started using other brands. I purchased this again to compare to my other foundations and found this to be extremely thick yet ironically the coverage was minimal. The finish is more oily than dewy but it could just be since I have oily skin. This foundation doesn't break me out though, which is definitely good because my skin is highly reactive to foundations since I wear foundation for 7+ hours on days that I put makeup on. I've been using this foundation for 3+ months now and I find it to be a OK foundation for everyday wear. It offers medium coverage, has a natural/satin finish, does not clog my pores. I have combination skin, and it works fine on my drier and oilier areas with proper prepping and priming. The lasting power is average.Although this foundation does not have a pump, the tip is great because its controllable and I can dispense a perfect amount.

MUA Contour Liner

Hey guys,

The other day i went shopping with two of my friends and we went to Superdrug and i was contemplating if i should get an eyeliner to try as i only had an illuminous blue one at home. I then  decided it was about time that i got a black eyeliner which could then become part of my daily make-up routine so i asked one of my friends which one i should get and she said the MUA cosmetics academy professional 3 in 1 extreme contour liner. As that is what she got as her first eyeliner and found that it was easy to apply. so i went and got the eyeliner. The 3 in 1 effect means that you can have your eyeliner thick, normal or skinny and because of the rectangular shape it makes it much easier to put on then normal eyeliners. I got the eyeliner in black and recommend it for anyone who is trying out eyeliners for the first time, has a shaky hand or is just really bad at applying eyeliner.
