Wet 'n Wild Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturizer Review

So the review!
How did this product do ? How does it compare?


WHAT?

Wet 'n Wild Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturizer





SHADES:

There are 4 shades of this tinted moisturizer. I know, what your thinking. Oh I'll never be able to find my shade! But don't worry...these 4 shades are probably the most easy, bendable tones that match with skin tones.

There's Beige, Natural, Sun Kissed and Buff.



RECOMMENDED?


I personally would recommend and buy this again. It's great for a quick layer...and it definetly lets your skin breathe. It's very light, airy, and leaves a nice natural finish. It's also great for humid temperatures and summer, because the tinted moisturizer is much more hydrating and light than regular foundation.

But if you need FULL coverage, this might not be for you. Like I said, it's very light...so you would probably have to go through atleast 2 layers to cover imperfections (if you have a lot) .




PROS: 


-lightweight, airy feel 


-covers fairly well 


-good shades that adjust to your skin tone


-great price (about $5 at drugstores)


-spf 15 




CONS: 


-(for people that need coverage) .. not so good, isn't really full coverage. 




yuuup(: there ya goo. 
hope this helps, and take care :)

The Perfect SPRING makeup routine!




Lovely spring is here!

Have you noticed that a lot of people try light makeup at spring? I don't know....or is it just me?

Well, if you really are one of those people, then this lightweight makeup routine will help you get a fresh, easy breezy start to the year! (well...almost middle..)....oh and BTW, the things I use are ALL from the drugstore!

PRIMER: You have to have a primer. Does about four things.

a) gives you a flawless canvas
b) helps create a barrier between your skin and makeup....(to makeup not sink in)
c) your makeup will stay on FOREVER

... if you use a good primer with silicone (I think) it will also fill in wrinkles, and it might also help with minimizing pores

What I use: Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer (about $5-8)




TINTED MOISTURIZER: A tinted moisturizer is pretty much the light version of a foundation.

What it does/is:

a) tinted moisturizer is much more natural looking than foundation
b) is usually hydrating and lightweight (allowing the skin to breathe)

And remember...you can also make your own tinted moisturizer by combining moisturizer and foundation in a 1: 2 ratio!

What I use: Wet 'n Wild Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturizer (about $4-6 at drugstores) ...very cheap...but it works!






POWDER: Your going to need some kind of powder to lock in the makeup you just applied. You can use loose or pressed powder.

What I use: Maybelline Shine Free Pressed Powder (about...$5-8)






LIPLINER OR LIP BALM: I like using lipliners, because I don't really like lip gloss and I don't like really like the feel of a lipstick on me (Because I'm only in high school!) So I use lipliners. Buuut, you can also use a regular lip balm...for a natural look(: 

Tip: First dab a little bit of foundation or tinted moisturizer. Then apply your lip color, to reveal the color's true color and make your color last long long and long!

What I use: Jordana Lipliner in Natural (22) ....hahah only $1 ! (I get mine at Walgreens)







good luck
& take care

DIY Body Scrub

okay, so we're (kinda) back with a brand new DIY project.

I know it's winter, and winter is usually the time where dry skin kicks in, and everything feels just so dehydrated.
But hey, it's almost March, where I'm at, the snow hasn't hit for about 3 weeks now...so that's good.
And before we know it, summer/bikini season AKA "show some skin" season will be started

Sleeveless tops, shorts, skirts, all that stuff....and hey everyone wants a silky finish.

So first off - Stay HYDRATED! Drink atleast 8 glasses per day!

2) Don't take baths! Take quick WARM showers. And if you do want to do for a bath, then drop some moisturizing bath beads or bath oils to moisturize your skin.

3) Keep your lotion right beside your soap/body wash. Even before you grab your towel, stop and moisturize all over your body. It will definitely will slippery, but it will lock in moisture!

4) Use petroleum jelly. This is the most, silliest idea ever. But I use this on my face, too. Cleanse, moisturize and put petroleum jelly to lock in all that moisture. (of course, this is completely optional...but it truly leaves skin soft and hydrated) Try to use a little bit at first, so it doesn't make you break out or make your skin irritated.



Now...it's really important to determine what your using to scrub.

There's TONS of scrubs out there! From St.Ives, neutrogena, bath and body works, the body shop and the higher ends....you have to determine which works for you.

But there's one in your kitchen, that will also do you WONDERS!

What you need:
-Olive Oil
-Sugar (brown or regular...doesn't matter)



Mix these guys together and there you have a good scrub. Now you can use it everyday, every week...whatever to get your beautiful silky skin.



Why this works:

Olive Oil- Is a main ingredient in tons of scrubs out there in the market. It's known for it's moisturizing properties and cleansing and softening properties.

Sugar- Probably the best, basic ingredient for amazing exfoliation!




I store it in a PONDS lotion bottle...I'm all out, and it's perfect for that. And it's right next to my soap!

Allright guys, that was it for today. I hope this works for you guys, right in time for summer!

HIGHLIGHTING TIPS AND TRICKS

Highlighting Boot Camp is in!



You guys see how this model has radiant cheekbones and the nose? And see how it just catches in the light?

Well...guess what? You can get that same supermodel look...real easy, and real fast! 

What you're going to need:

-a brush
-CREAM highliter (without shimmer)
-powder (to set it in)


(try getting a highlighter without shimmer, because that ruins the whole 'maybe she's born with it' part :) it just ruins the 'maybe natural' look)


A great one is Pearl (or shell) from MAC: 


 



Applying: 


-Just take some in your fingers and gently pat it on your cheekbones and the bridge of your nose.


-Then just squeeze your brush (into a flat angle) and dip it in the powder. Then just pat it where you applied your highlighter. This will help set it and make sure the look lasts :) 


Anyways, hope this helps & take care!

BLUSH Tips

HERE IS THE REVISED, NEWER VERSION OF BLUSH...WITH MORE TIPS AND TRICKS! :


http://tsorain.blogspot.com/2012/06/blush-tips-tricks.html





BLUSH


Blush. So many colors!



"AWH! SHE'S BLUSHING!"

Blush is a beautiful way to give you that "I just jogged!" or "It's my wedding!" look.

I know a lot of people of don't wear blush because they say it makes them look like their a clown.
Well, here are some tricks of the trade to get a beautiful glow no matter what skin tone you are(:


Remember this very important blush rule:

The lighter you are, go for bubblegum/cotton candy pink colors. The darker, you are, you for peachy/coral colors.

dandelion This one would be better with fair skin


And these! would be better with tanner/darker skin:

And always put on blush AFTER you chisel/contour


If you have a ROUND face:

If you have a round face, there's one teeny tiny trick to do so. Usually, you apply blush on your apples in a circular/round motion. But that just makes your face look even more round! So instead, find your apples, and sweep the blush just under your apples and sweep back to your hairline.

And there you go!

Hope this works for you guys!

oh and P.S. cheekstains work really well too!

FOUNDATION TIPS & TRICKS

Foundation Boot Camp is in!

Here are some PRO tips (I'm not a PRO, but these are from the internet) that I absolutely LOVE....and it works!

-There's 3 aspects to foundation:
-coverage
-finish
-undertone

Go to MAC cosmetics, and click on FOUNDATION, then click on the first one that finds it for you. It's expert tips!

good ones from the drugstore:
L'Oreal True Match Foundation, Soft Sable C6loreal true match maybelline




-NEVER EVER EVER wear foundation that is LIGHTER than your skin tone. You might think this is really stupid or w/e, but women do it! And I say DON'T do it! It doesn't blend in with your skin tone, and it gives off a weird..purple "glow"....which isn't a good thing.... haha


-Try to find foundation that is a little bit more YELLOWER than your skin tone.
Why you ask? Because, yellow is going to CANCEL out redness and give you a beautiful glow.

good ones from the 'expensive' end:

-Conceal in the right places! Hit your nose, upper lip, and chin with a yellow-based concealer. Those are the places were women get hormonal red there.

-CONTOUR to give you a beautiful look. Take a chistle brush, and use a blush powder that is about 5-6 shades darker than you. Chistle it under your cheekbone, and fade to your hairline.

loreal

And a beautiful brush from PUR Minerals:

chisel foundation makeup brushes use this to chisel out those cheekbones!



I hope that you guys really like this!
Maybe we'll continue our series of "bootcamp 101"

Bye!
