DIY EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

You don't need any fancy pants 'eye makeup remover stuff' to get the toughest smokey eye wiped off. In fact, these methods are so simple, so cheap...that you only need ONE INGREDIENT. (There are 2 DIY eye makeup removers btw) 


-VASELINE





Just apply some vaseline all over your eyelid (or wherever your eye makeup is), take a tissue or cotton cloth and simply wipe. If you see that there is still something there, repeat. 




Another method/way: 


-OLIVE OIL 




Try using Extra Virgin Olive Oil...because it is said to be a little better than the normal kind. 


-Just smear/apply some olive oil to your eyemakeup. Take a cotton cloth, and just wipe off. And if there is still more, than just repeat :) 


Yuup, so yeah, hope this helps, 
and take care :) 

Vaseline Face Mask

The last week has been nothing but amazing. We visited some friends, spent a couple nights there; and toured their city...and LOVED it!

(btw Chicago is freaking amazing!)

I got home, and I realized how dull my skin looked. It was horrible! After all the time I had fun, and having a blast, I completely forgot about cleansing and moisturizing my skin.

If you've had a similar problem, or you want to do this, just for the heck of it...then grab some..............................VASELINE!

There are TWO main things that Vaseline does that isn't found in many other expensive lotions/creams.

1) It keeps the entire world out.

When you wake up after putting vaseline on your face, you notice that their seems to be some dirt and things on your skin. The vaseline was kind of a "barrier" and kept that out....that would have otherwise just sink into your skin.

2) It moisturizes/heals at the source.

It moisturizes intensively.. I have super dry skin right under my eyes; and I always use Vaseline to keep it out. After using it for a couple of times regularly,....MUCH MUCH less dry skin! (close to none!)

So stop using those expensive creams to "moisturize" and just grab the nearest bottle of Vaseline and slather it on your face.... BUT...

but, be sure that Vaseline is not going to break you out. Try doing a "patch test", which means try putting Vaseline on a little part of your face, and see if it breaks you out. If it doesn't, then continue on.

If you have oily skin...this might be for you!

So yeah, try it out! I hope this helps you guys! have an amazing day!

Who's your BFF this WINTER?

Winter is coming!

Oh Jolly!

Walmart already has all the candy and the perfume sets out. And we have about a month and a half. ! haha! But winter is coming! So is the humidity! And so will your skin!

Everyone should slightly change their skin care routine when winter rolls by. In winter, you'll have less moisture, more dry and cracked skin. How do we stop that? You prevent it. This is almost the perfect time to get started. It's starting to get windy, but before it starts to snow, get your skin prepared!

So, boy, do I have a suprise for you!

So, tell me.

Who's your BFF this WINTER?

WINTER. WINTER!!!

Lotion? that's important...but no.

Sunscreen? That's SUPER important...but no.

Cleansers? No.

Deo? Haha!

Perfume? Smelling good....but no.

Guess who just knocked?

VASELINE.

Vaseline is gonna be your BFF this WINTER, and it's always mine. Be sure, no matter what, to have a bottle of lotion and some Vaseline on your nightstand.

Get off the lip gloss ladies!

It's time for Vaseline to moisturize!

Here are some tips (and tricks!) how vaseline can help your winter skin be more clean and fresh:

-When you go to bed, dab some Vaseline on your lips. ....i think this is a no brainer. But trust me, your lips are gonna be soooo soft!

-FACIAL MOISTURIZER. Sometimes, after you clean your face, moisturize your face with Vaseline. Your skin will be soft and smooth and more moisturized then ever!

-all over body moisturizer. after you step out from your shower, smear vaseline all over you, so you get added moisture

So here comes Captain Vaseline to help you get smooth skin, BEFORE you start getting the rough skin :D

Also, another way you can stop dry skin is getting a HUMIDIFIER. Their amazing :-) Another good alternative, is if you wet some towels and just hang them on your door, chair, etc. It'll do the same thing ;)

Vaseline love.

Clear Skin Back to School Way

Hmm? Check the clock. We're already into August. And when does school start? August. So what does that mean? BACK TO SCHOOL ANXIOUS!!

Everyone wants to go back to school rocking their way in, and just looking great! And in the summer, because of the heat, more people also breakout, get acne...all that stuff that we desperately want to get rid of before school comes around. So here's what made the list to great skin care:

The List: (DA DA DAAA) :

-WATER WATER WATER!! Make sure you get your 8 glasses of water each day. It flushes out all the toxins and everything so your skin will glow more and look more healthier.

-If you have a breakout, the most important thing is to not mess with it. Just wash your face, and dry it with dabbing with the towel; not rubbing.

-If you wear makeup, be sure to wear mineral makeup. The makeup just sits on the surface rather than being absorbed and clog your pores.

-Try your best to sleep on your back. This way, your hair won't be messing with the breakout, adding more dirt and oil to it.

-And....exercise! Exercising will increase blood circulation to your face, which will give it a healthy look, and it's a bonus for your body overall.

My Summer Staples

This summer, I found some products that I couldn't live without. And another plus is that, their all great alternaitves for expensive stuff that I ditched a few weeks ago.

My #1 Babe that I couldn't live without: Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask

For me, it takes care of any blemishes and I know that if I ever get a breakout, this is my first option. And the mint leaves you with a wonderful feeling. I got mine at Sally's (:

Lip Gloss. No girl can live without it. I lived with the NARS Lip glosses forever, and I couldn't let them go....but they wear $24 each! So, I ditched that for......NYX Lip Gloss

This one is a great alternative. (PSSS!! psss! Guess what? This one is under $5!!!) <--- BEST PART! I cannot live without this baby!

Since our lips deserve a little attention too; take a bit of honey and baking soda. Mix them together and gently rub them in. This is gonna help to take dead skin cells out. Afterwards apply a lip balm. This will leave lips soooo soft! Also, for some time; try ditching the expensive lip glosses. Just turn to good ole Vaseline. Dab some on before you go to bed, and your lips will be feeling wonderful in the morning.

Also, I've heard Burt Bees works great. And Carmex is really good too!

And another thing! If you guys are planning to go back to school wearing skirts, then beautiful legs is a must! One little trick that I lovee to use is to use baby oil. For example, when I'm about to enter somewhere wearing a skirt, I want my legs to look toned and shiny. So make sure Baby Oil is in your purse! Just rub it into your legs, and your legs will look soo beautiful! Sometimes I use this to draw attention away from me belly (when I bloat and I'm on the "time of the month" hahahahah).

And YESSS I have to put up a picture of everything! haha(:

Well that's it for today, be sure to rock your way into a rocking school year!

Take Care
