I tried to add some layers to my hair just recently but my hair still looked big and frizzy. It was driving me mad bonkas because I have to avoid using hair conditioners ( make me break out at my jaw line) and my aloe vera shampoo was drying my hair out. I also refuse to cut it short because I want really long hair and the more I cut, the longer the time I have to wait for it to grow back.  In sheer desperation, I decided to head to my local beauty supplies store to look for a hair restoring miracle.

As fate had it, I found a small 1.7 fl. oz bottle Argan Oil sitting quietly on a shelve in a corner and I snatched the second last bottle up. My hair was silky smooth in 1 day. One day of usage was all it took for even my hubby to notice the difference in my smoother, softer, tamer hair.

Before I continue “ OOhhhing ” and “ Ahhhhing” about this stunning natural wonder, let’s look into the science behind argan oil.

Goo Hye Sun is probably most well known for her role in the mega Korean hit Boys Over Flowers. Did you know that she shot to fame first as an Ulzzang. Goo Hye Sun has some mega talent and its not just because of her sugary good looks. She’s always photographed with naturally flawless skin, cherry kissed lips and looking fresh.

I’m seriously in love with this palette. I love it more than Too Faced’s Naked Eye palette because the neutral colors are so darn flattering on my skin tone. I used my favorite colors for this look. Velvet Revolver for the crease, Honey Pot concentrated on lids and Cocoa Puff blended out on my lower outer lash line. I also swept a mixture of Heaven and Nude beach all over my eye for a real bright wide eye look.

Fish Oil- Is it Really the Secret to Rejuvenating Your Skin?

Ever notice how women from Japan and countries in the Mediterranean have complexions that continually look exquisitely smooth and beautiful, even at advanced ages?

Well, it may very well be that, among other important healthy lifestyle habits, the beautiful, glowing skin these women show off to the world is linked to the diets common in these regions. Since both Mediterranean and Japanese diets are replete with fish and seafood, many health commentators have drawn the conclusion that the flawless complexions of the women who live in these countries must be due to the relatively large amount of seafood they typically consume. Thus, it has often been assumed that dietary intake of fish oil is key in possessing skin that resists the effects of aging over time. While it is true that fish is a common culinary delicacy in Japan and the Mediterranean, the true clinical data on fish oil's effect on the skin is not yet in. Research in the arena of fish oil and skin health seems to show promise, but there really isn't any general consensus regarding the true beauty benefits of fish oil.

I think you can find plenty of reviews on the TOO FACED NAKED PALETTE so I thought to give reviewing a miss and put out a tutorial instead on achieving this soft day time defined natural look. I think tight lining the eyes is the best method of making eyes pop, plus it makes lashes look that much thicker.

Bourjois makes pretty good mascaras. They don’t smell bad, they lift lashes, they are smudge free and they are a very nice black. I picked up Volume Glamour Max about a month ago and to my surprise I actually got really used to the huge wand and the waterproof formula and have been using this mascara everytime I go to work…

Sometimes I just can’t decide how to wear my hair. I had this hair thingy that I bought from H&M years ago and I was wondering if I could pull off the whole boho look ( see picture below) but ended up wearing it the traditional way cause I was worried that others may think that I’m trying too hard ( why am I bothering about wat others think anyways?) hehe…

For this Too Faced Natural Palette inspired soft day smokey look, I used 6 colors from the palette and the only non palette eye makeup were the mascara ( falsies by Maybelline) , cream eyeliner by Loreal and the eyebrow by NYX. Otherwise, everything you see is from this super beautiful palette.
