BB Cream & Christmas Eve look =D

My BB Cream arrived last week!! 

What is BB Cream? 

Blemish Balm Cream was created to treat and cover blemishes and protect post-surgical scars from the sun, so that skin would heal faster. 

• Brightening/Blemish coverage + Anti-Wrinkle + UV Protection (SPF 42 PA+++). 
• Gives skin a more natural appearance. 
• More coverage than a tinted moisturizer but lighter than foundation.

I purchased No.23 which is the Natural Beige and No.31 Golden Beige. I wasn't sure which one will match my skin tone so i ordered 2 different tone, since they have a good deal, i got a free item for each purchase.

I have previous scarring from break outs the past few months and I've been looking for a product that will remove scars or heal red spots from acne. Luckily, i haven't had much break outs, I am still on the skin care routine, I LOVE my BOSCIA regimen!

where to buy: Missha BB Cream click here

Boscia Clear Complexion click here

So anyway, back to BB cream. I applied it yesterday on my entire face after my usual skin care routine. And i would say, i like how it feels, it's not heavy, it didn't make my face feel heavy and icky. It covered my dark spots and i love how it feels on my face. I will keep using  this product and see how my skin will react to it. 

After applying it to my entire face, i used a loosed powder (my favorite is from Maybelline) i have been using it for a couple of months and i am in love with it! I didn't break out or anything.

I used my BB cream (No.31 Golden Beige) on my entire face and a loose powder

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!

Moving on, for my Christmas Eve look. I like to keep it simple, the colors i used are plum, red and sparky/shimmery white. This palette is from COASTAL SCENT (click the image for HQ) I applied plum to the outer corner of my eyes and red to my outer lower corner and i just blend the two colors together.

For the inner corner of my eyes and tear dot i used white eyeliner as a base (blend it to inner corner of the eyes) and i applied the shimmery white on top.  I also used the white eyeliner on my brow bone and blend it and applied the shimmery white all over the brow bone and I line my water line with white eyeliner. I applied my favorite mascarra on my lashes (Maybelline)

For the cheeks, i used wet n` wild color icon blusher in Heather Silk

For the lips, I used NYX Lip Smacking Fun Colors in Watermelon

How I Cut my Hair

Everytime i go to the salon... i sometimes end up not liking my hair cut.  I used to go the salon and have the same stylist which i do like but i moved to a new area and i need to look for a good salon and a hairstylist and i just don't want to go a try a new salon and just decided to learn how to trim my own hair.  The last time i went to see my stylist was nearly a year ago and i watched how she trimmed my hair and it's just really easy and simple. So, i thought why would i pay $30 just to have my hair trimmed if i can do it myself =D
Anyhow, here's a quick video on how i cut my hair:
This was the first time i cut my own hair (4 months ago)and i liked how it turned out, so no more trips to the salon for me

Here are the things i used

I like to trim my hair atleast every 8 weeks.. i cut my hair today and this is how my hair looks like now

It's Holiday again!!!! and of course i'd like to look festive and gorgeous! But I'm not gonna bury my face with make up. I prefer something naturally glamorous =D I like wearing neutral colors for my eyes and lips for everyday look, the other day i was thinking about red lipstick for holiday, a classic red lips. I might wear this for holiday parties =D. I recently purchased a red lipstick, because i don't own one =D so i got the Sally Hansen Sculpt and Shape Lip Color (Rococo 6671-50) I wore it the whole day and it doesn't dry my lips, so i love it! Retail for $8.99 at Walgreens.

Anyhow, another lip color i like are different shades of pink. My favorite are from REVLON (pink pout and pink about it-both Matte) and NYX (Lousiana 634). Another favorite is REVLON Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pink Pop (perfect with Pink Pout Matte Lipstick)

So these are the look for red and pink lips

How to personalize your Blogger Icon

favicon

blogger icon

I've been customizing my blog yesterday and wanted to change the blogger icon  to a personalize favicon, like a little picture of myself =D like when you type in your browser the site you like to see and there is a little icon on the tab.  I like to be as detailed as possible =D as you can see, there is a tiny pic of myself   on the tab =D... so here's how for you lovely bloggers =)


1. Prepare an image, can be JPG or PNG format. I suggest PNG format because its size will be smaller by a 4:1 ratio. It means that a 10 Kb JPG image will be a 2.5 Kb in PNG format. Also make sure the size is small like 20 x 20 pixels or less, so the file will be smaller in size and won't make your blog loads slower.
If it's difficult for you to edit a small image, you can make a bigger one first, like 200 x 200 pixels or more, and after finish, you can skew it smaller. Microsoft Paint can do it for you easily or photoshop.
2. Upload the image to an image hosting service, like the free PhotoBucket. Then, obtain the direct link to your image for the next step. You can use another image hosting service if you like, just remember to get the direct link.
3. Add this bold tags to your template. To access it, click "edit html"in "layout" section. Put them in head section, between "title" tag and "b:skin" tag. If you face difficulties in finding the tag, just use the find tool in your browser. In Mozilla Firefox, the shortcut is ctrl+f. If you use another browsers, apply with adaptation.

<title><data:blog.pagetitle>
<link href='put the direct URL of your image here' rel='shortcut icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>
<b:skin>

Poinsettia Nails

Here's another holiday nails for you ladies to adore =D. It may look a lil complicated to draw a tiny poinsettia in your nails. But it's actually easy knowing i have a shaky hand, anyone can surely do this with a lil practice on a piece of paper before actually doing it to your nails =D
Have fun and enjoy your holidays!
Oh, you can purchase the pen tip nail art at www.miginailart.com =D
