Night Time Routine for Sensitive Skin!
Hey Loves!, as all of you don’t know I’ve suffered almost all my life with acne from the ages of 13-18 and acne scarring, its always been something I was embarrassed about but these products have helped tremendously…
Of course cleaning your skin plays a HUGE role in clearing up your skin, you have to also watch what you eat and drink, I only drink water and eat fruits,veggies and abit of meat/fish. Ive noticed cutting dairy completely out of my diet has helped ALOTTT…
These are the steps of how I do my daily night time routine:
*wash hands first
- I was my face first with the Aveeno Clear Complexion
- then, I put the Cetaphil oily skin cleanser on my ‘spin for perfect skin’ and spin it for about 3minutes
- For step 3 I switch between the Very Clear Scrub by Derma-e and the derma-e microdermabrasion scrub. they are both really strong products so using both in one night will dry out your face, the very clear derma e scrub is amazing to get rid of a pimple, if you use it once the next day its almost gone, and the microdermabrasion scrub is uh-mazing for acne scarring
- I usually use the sephora mud mask every other day, in my opinion it gets rid of pimples pretty quick also and leaves a refreshing feeling on your skin
- Now let me tell you about this Thayers cucumber witch hazel with aloe vera toner…… holy moly I’ve been in love with it since day one!! Ive tried a lot of toners in my life time and absolutely nothing compares to this one, it gives an amazing refreshing feeling to your face
- Lastly, 100% virgin coconut oil you apply just bit to your face I was skeptic about using it at first because I thought it would clog my pores, but I was completely wrong. The oil acts as a barrier and doesn’t allow any bacteria get into your pores, its helps a lot with my time of the month break outs to the point I only get 1-2 small ones compared to 4, its controlled redness, and also the scarring.
There defs all worth the buy and try at least!

10 Beauty Tips Every Women Needs To Know
- Never put concealer or foundation on your eyelids as a base, it will cause your eye makeup to crease.
- Use your fingers to apply your foundation if you want sheer coverage and a brush if you more polished, medium to full coverage.
- Always apply powder where you are shiniest first, which it usually your T-zone, with a very light dusting everywhere else.
- You should put bronzer on your neck, face, and chest to even out your skin tone. Be sure to take a step back and make sure everything is the same c
- When applying blush, first smile, then start on the apple of the cheek, blend the blush back towards the top of the ear, then down toward the jawline.
- Always apply your brow pencil or powder to the upper portion of the eyebrow to lift your face up.
- You want to make sure your lipstick is not too defined at your cupid’s bow (the top of your lip), and that it goes all the way out to the inner corners of your mouth. Be sure to press down hard as you apply.
- Always start with a base shadow without any shimmer that matches the lightest skin tone on your face and apply all over your lid up to the brow. You should use this base shadow to make sure the darker shadows used on your lid up to the crease are properly blended.
- when applying eyeliner instead of looking straight ahead at the mirror, get as close to it as possible, stick your head up and bring your chin toward the mirror. You want to look down as you apply, starting at the inner corner and making sure to go all the way out to the fold on the outside of the eye.
- You don’t want to do quick soft motions when you apply mascara. Instead, jam the wand into the root of the lash and do zigzag motions as you go up.
Hope you enjoy!

More love less hate
Taking the time to dedicate this post to the Orlando massive murder that happened last night at a gay night club, with 50 people dead all because the killer couldn’t see two people of the same gender kissing… we’re in 2016 and this is still a problem?. Gay people have the right to be with the same gender they should be able to go out and enjoy themselves without being looked at weird or being bashed for it. A huge condolences goes out to each and every one of these victims, and hopefully this issue will put an end to it. http://news.nationalpost.com/news/world/mass-casualties-after-gunman-opens-fire-in-crowded-nightclub-in-orlando
What is colour correcting?
Colour correcting uses the basis of colour theory to ‘correct’ discolouration,the opposites on a colour wheel will counteract each other. If you just can’t seem to achieve an even, happy and rested overall skintone with just foundation and concealer – maybe dark circles always show through, or the redness still shouts from your cheeks – colour correcting class is about to begin…
Which colour corrects what?
- redness: green corrector or mild stubborn redness or rosiness: yellow corrector
- brownish dark circles: yellow
- sallowness/yellowness: lavender corrector
- dark circles, fair to light complexion: salmon corrector
- dark circles, light to medium complexion: peach corrector
- dark circles, medium to dark complexion: orange corrector
- dark circles, dark to deep complexion: red concealer
How to apply colour corrector?
Whether you apply colour corrector before or after concealer and foundation depends on the intensity of the discolouration you want to neutralize – and where it’s located. If you need only a little correction, you can mix a little salmon, peach or orange with your concealer to adjust the tone, for severely dark circles, and larger areas like the cheeks if you’re knocking back redness, it’s better to lay down a light application of corrector, then apply concealer or foundation on top in a stippling or patting-with-fingertips motion. When it comes to foundation, you’ll need one with some kind of coverage – sheer formulas just won’t do. Green and orange corrector in particular will show right through tinted moisturizer, BB cream or sheer liquid foundation. (If you’ve been struggling to hide severe circles or any kind of discolouration that won’t stay hidden, chances are you’re already using something with more pigment anyway, right?) You want at least a medium coverage, something you can build if you need a bit more pigment in some areas, full-coverage foundation is another option. Not everyone wants a full-coverage formula because sometimes it can look like a mask, and you absolutely need a perfect match to the skin on your neck. But if you’ve got something to camouflage, full-coverage foundation may well be your fastest hide-everything option – you mightn’t need additional colour correction. And you can blend it to reduce coverage in other areas. In terms of concealer, most CC palettes include a couple of shades that you can use on top, or mix to get your ideal shade. If you have a concealer with decent coverage already, try that over your corrector to see how it works.
Palettes vs Individual shades
If the very idea of getting into this colour-correcting thing makes you dizzy it’s best to determine what you want to neutralize, then get just that shade. Dark circles on fair skin? Try the Urban Decay Naked Skin Color Correcting Fluid in Peach ($35 CAd at sephora.ca). Cheeks that always look wind-burned? Consider the Lancôme Miracle CC Cushion Color Correcting Primer in Green ($45 CAd at sephora.ca), or the YSL Touche Eclat Neutralizer in Green ($50 CAd at sephora.ca), Obviously if you have more than one issue to deal with, or you want options, a palette is going to be more your speed. I recommend Make Up For Ever 5 Camouflage Cream Palette Color Correct and Concealer($49 CAd at sephora.ca) because it has all the corrector colours plus a concealer you can mix if needed or the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Wipeout Color-Correcting Palette ($54 CAd at sephora.ca), or Sephora Collection Sephora + Pantone Universe Correct + Conceal Palette ($61 at sephora.ca). The fold-out guide is uh-mazing, with clear instructions on which colour to use for which skintone and what area
how to correct redness
how to correct dullness
how to correct dark spots
I hope this has helped to demystify this new colour-correcting craze. Does everyone need to get on board? If your complexion looks great with a touch of concealer and some tinted moisturizer, not you. But if, no matter what you try, people keep asking whether you’re tired because your circles are showing, or you just can’t achieve a radiant complexion no matter what foundation you try, then yes, you want to spend some time in colour-correction class.

Hey Loves!
Hey loves, so as many of you may or may not know I have an extreme passion for makeup. I enjoy the confidence that it could bring to many women, even though I strongly believe that everyone is beautiful as themselves, we just live in a generation where women are strongly looked at. Even though I don’t have all the knowledge working at MAC or Sephora, I do have knowledge in schooling, and even before schooling I have always loved it since i was little. I am living in Toronto, trying to get through this crazy thing we call life while doing what I love, as everyone is trying to do. The makeup industry is extremely competitive, and I know maybe there are better makeup artist since I am a start-up compared to someone who’s been freelancing for years and not all my work is out YET, with that being said somethings that may differentiate me from other makeup artist is my sense of humour, my personality I make everyone feel comfortable within seconds of meeting me and the huge heart that I have, i promise you will be satisfied. So as I have said I live in Toronto and maybe who ever is looking at my work lives extremely far from here may have the same passion as I and is new to it and needs advice, I’m your girl 🙂 any questions you may have from skin care, brush cleaning, products, building your portfolio, anything I’m always here to help with just an email. As I’ve said if you live in the Toronto area id be glad to make you feel confident.
