LIQUID or SPRAY ??


Okay first, these products have the same purpose, but which one you guys prefer?
CREAM
PROS :
- The same price but a bottle can last much longer
- U can really feel the texture when u apply it, means less missing part
CONS :
- Takes longer time to apply
- Sticky
- 'Heavy" feeling than the spray one

SPRAY
PROS :
- It is so easy to use!
- Very light feeling
- No residue
CONS :
- It just up to ten usage! (If you use from head to toe).
- Because it's very light, sometimes when i spray it on the open air, i find it kinda gone with the wind. (sounds silly ;p but it's true!) 


LIQUID
PROS :
- It works super fast! mine always dry after less than 10 seconds of application. Magic!
- Provides extra shine
- And also makes your manicure lasts longer.

SPRAY
PROS :
- It faster because we just need to spray it all over the nails after top coat.
CONS :
- I hope it works, but it doesn't really help since i got the nail polish one! :)


So, which one is your favourite?

Non Waterproof into Waterproof??


Why not?? :P

From now on, you can use your non waterproof makeup with no worries!
Aqua Seal instantly converts your favorite makeup products into waterproof formulas. Its lightweight, liquid texture intensifies pigments and shimmer for a dramatic, long lasting result. I always mix one to two drops aqua seal with my non-waterproof pencil eyeliner. Because it's alcohol free, i even can put it on my eyes area.

Can Celebs Make Scents?


They just keep on coming, so this week let's take a look at the latest celebrity fragrances to hit the shelves..
AMY CHILDS BY AMY CHILDS
This comes in a cute little bottle and, probably best suited to a younger teenage girl- or any avid Amy fan, of course. The fragrance is OK, but it lacks that real 'wow' factor.

FAME BY LADY GAGA
I'm not sure a celebrity fragrance has ever received so musch hype as Gaga' fame! Is i because the scents looks black, but spray clear? Maybe. Or is it just because, well, it's Lady Gaga? That. too. And after a rumours spread over the internet about it smelling like blood and semen, you'll be pleased to hear it doesn't! It's definitely richer and sexier than your average celebrity scent and bound to fly off the shelves, so best get your orders in now.

WONDERSTRUCK BY TAYLOR SWIFT
Taylor's first fragrance is all about her favourite memories and scents. Not only did she hand-pick the charms around the neck of the bottle, but the embossed cap also reflects her clothes and home. One for all you hippy chicks out there, it's a fruity number that includes juicy notes like raspberry, apple blossom and peach
GLOWING BY J.LO
Ms. Lopez's fragrances are often rather nice and this is my favourite so far. As well as being totally sucked in by the bottle (it lights up), the juice is creamy, warm and smells quite expensive. Three things i love in a fragrance.
GIRLFRIEND BY JUSTIN BIEBER
In the words of Justin, this is a 'more mature version of someday', his debut fragrance from last year. It's rather sweet, sugary number, however, so it'll be most popular with girls under the age of 16. We love the crazy packaging though. =)

When to toss your makeup??




We all know to toss sticky lip gloss and dried out mascara, but how can you tell if your makeup has just expired? 

 
Moisturizer
Face cream can lose its freshness after six months. Make sure to seal correctly to make it last longer and avoid bacteria buildup.

Nail Polish
While technically your favorite bottle lasts only one year, the real test is a simple shake. If color separated even after a quick rattle, toss it.

Lipstick
Give the tube a quick sniff. You will be able to smell if it's gone sour, which usually is after three years. Lipgloss can turn after about a year and will become sticky in texture.

Mascara
Fortunately it's very obvious if your mascara has gone bad. If the dried up liquid becomes dry, clumpy, and hard to apply, just toss it! Plus, old mascara can contain unhealthy bacteria, so ditch the tube when the liquid become pasty-usually after three months.

Perfume
So happy to know that your favorite fragrance will usually last up to eight years after it has been opened. You can keep it smelling fresh even longer by store it in the fridge! Oxidation-the process that changes a scent-happens quicker in warm environments.

Brushes
It's simple to tell when your brushes are ready to be dumped. Just eyeball them. If the bristles are pinched, frayed, or falling out, it's time to invest in a new brush.

Sunscreen
Usually they have expiration dates on tubes, which is typically one to two years. So don't start hoarding in the summer. Just buy as needed.
