What's NEW?????

What is your favorite mascara/make up product? MAC? The Body Shop? Maybelline? Revlon? L'oreal? Or Lancome? Well, there's lots of makeup brands besides the ones I mention and it depends on each person preferences, that's what important!! For me, I prefer either Maybelline or L'oreal because it’s designed for all women of whatever age or class and it gives me an energetic and natural look.

As we know mascara is a cosmetic applied to the eyelashes to make the lashes thicker, longer, and darker to define the eyelashes. Normally black and brown colored are the most popular mascara colors. Black works on everyone with the most natural effect especially for Brunettes. Most people prefer non waterproof mascara because it can be removed easily compared to waterproof which doesn't wipe off easily. But it is important to keep a waterproof mascara in case you need it for special occassion.

Besides, sometimes we might encounter problem such as the shape of brush that determine the look of your lashes. You will get a different effect because there are various shapes and sizes for different mascara brush types, and it is important to know the characteristics of your own. 

Here are the different mascara brush types:

Curved Mascara brush type
  • It cause the lash to curl and lift. Pick a mascara wand that's curved in the middle, place it so that it naturally cups the shape of your eye, and lightly sweep outwards.
Rubber Bristles brush type
  • Aim to layer individual lashes evenly, even the areas of your eyes that are hard to reach by normal brush types of mascaras. "Rubber bristles flex with movement and shape the eye, unlike regular bristles, which can be stiff and hard to control," says Kimara Ahnert, a New York City-based makeup artist.
Comb-Like brush type
  • Cause a defined separation for your lashes that look thick at the base and have sun-like rays toward the end. "When you're going for length, try a wand with longer more separated bristles that have a comb-like look," adds Ahnert.
Small Bristles brush type
  • If you have short eyelashes, Ahnert recommends using a wand with small bristles. You can get very close to your eye, and even apply a coat to the bottom lashes.
 Maybelline had launched a new mascara called Maybelline One by One Mascara :

My first impression for this video is, "What, it's PINK??" I was thinking why the packaging is in PINK colour?? Don't you think its way too girly??? Even though I know Maybelline product is for women but still why PINK. But I still want to try it... I'll love a mascara so much because of the way it separates and lengthens my lashes without using falsies. Who doesn't want a long and thick lashes right?? Other than that, it says that Maybelline One by One Mascara gives " flirtiest lashes without the bulk with the revolutionary lash catcher brush that catches, coats and de-clumps every lash one by one", from what I see from the video. So I'll go have a try on it...Have you tried this product? And what are your thoughts?

I ♥ Brunette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even though Blondes may have more fun and redheads may be sassy, but brunette hair is the most seductive and ravishing hair color because of its magnificent range. 

What is Brunette anyway?? Brunette also describes as Brown hair and it is a great choice for hairstyles because it offers a lot of choices not only in different hues but also in the different looks produced that compliment a lot of features. Brunette hair offers a mysterious look with lots of rich texture. The brown shades seem to compliment most skin tones and facial features depending on the lightness or darkness of the shades. 

Besides, there are varieties of shades in Brunette colors which are:
  • Dark Brown
  • Light Ash Brown
  • Light Golden Brown
  • Light Chesnut Brown
  • Chesnut Brown (medium to dark brown with dark red/auburn tones)
  • Medium Brown
  • Medium Golden Brown (brown with yellowish tone)
There are many great looking celebrities with brunette hairstyles  and each photo below shows a different shade of brunette and how the different hues form a beautiful finish.  Take a look on them:

What is Beauty, anyway?? What makes us look attractive??

Many women would do anything to look like the most gorgeous woman in the world, so do I am!!!!
Well, to me beauty is a personal physical attractiveness, especially with regard to the use of cosmetics and other methods of enhancing it. It is because beauty is something we all have, just that not all women strong enough to dig down and find it, instead they sit there and pick everybody else because they look better than us.


NOTE: To all women outside there, it's your time to boost your beauty because beauty is something that eyes can see and I'm pretty sure that we won't lose to those other gorgeous woman in the world, =)
