How to Shrink Pores like a Bo$$

 

Visible pores are the most common complaints people have about their skin. “Pore-shrinking” toners and masks are always popular, but can they really work? Find out and learn how to safely shrink pores with my three-product steps. 

The best thing you can do to make your pores look smaller and your face clearer is to regularly clean out your pores.

To clear out your Sebaceous Filaments and shrink your pores’ appearance with this technique, you’ll need about an hour,.

• A 2% BHA product with a pH between 3 and 4. Maximum Strength Stridex*, Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant*, and COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid* all work, but any BHA with the correct percentage and pH will do.
• A clay mask.  Just about any other clay mask will do as well. For something a bit less drying.
• An emulsifying oil cleanser.Simple Oil cleanser

 

Note: The best time to do this is in the morning, before your regular morning skin care routine. This way, you won’t have to cleanse first and then again at the end of this process.

1. Apply your BHA product. (If you have dry or dehydrated skin, you may want to limit your BHA and the rest of this process to only the areas of your face where your SFs are most visible.) Because BHAs are oil soluble, they’ll be able to penetrate deep into the sebum filling up your pores, loosening the gunk to make it easier to remove with the following steps. Wait 20-25 minutes to allow the BHA to do its job.
2. Without washing off the BHA, apply your clay mask. Wait for however long the clay mask instructions specify.
3. Rinse off your clay mask with tepid to lukewarm water. Be careful with your water temperature here, as both your BHA and clay mask can be quite drying, and you don’t want to overdry your skin by throwing hot water at it on top of that. Dry your face.
4. Apply your cleansing oil or carrier oil. Wait 15 minutes. The oil will help draw the gunk in your pores to the surface.
5. Gently massage your face or areas you’re treating for 2-3 minutes. If all has gone well, at this point you’ll feel tiny little grains coming out of your pores! These are the clogs that have been making your pores more visible. Many people call them “grits,” and getting grits out of your face is an amazingly satisfying feeling. Do not apply too much pressure to your skin or massage for longer than 5 minutes, tops. Doing so can result in broken capillaries, and those can’t be fixed without pricey laser treatments. Don’t worry if you don’t feel the grits. Some people don’t, either because the clogs are too small or because there wasn’t enough sebum and dead skin buildup to create grits. Even if you don’t feel any coming out, this process is still clearing your pores and reducing their appearance.
6. After the oil massage, emulsify and rinse off your cleansing oil or wash off your carrier oil as usual. Continue with your regular skincare routine.

You will notice that the appearance of your pores is visibly reduced. Pores that suffer from sebaceous filaments do inevitably fill back up, usually within a few days. Doing this twice a week will keep things in check.

How to get clean glowing skin with just two steps

Hey, guys I know it has been a while since I have posted a blog post. I am back and I have great finds for you. First off I’d like to say that I like to keep things simple into the point.

Many of the blockers like to add multiple stops that take what seems like forever maybe even half a day and honestly, I don’t know about you but I don’t have time for all that. So as a simple human being and a real human being, I will provide you with easy straightforward steps for getting amazing results.

So first step in getting amazingly beautiful clean, clear, and glowing skin for any day and routine is washing it.

 

Number one. I love this face wash it is called soy face cleanser by fresh beauty. This gentle cleanser is a gel which is a multitasker. This amazing cleanser is so pure and mostly natural. I don’t need harsh chemicals and crazy things inside of skin care that I use so this is perfect. As you all now fresh beauty has amazing natural products that work great with a lot of skin. So this cleanser not only washes your skin gently but also removes makeup and mascara! How cool is that, I love it.

Usually when I’m wearing makeup and I need to remove my make up and wash my face there a few steps that I need to take before everything comes off. It’s all girls would know that is true. First, you need to use a proper makeup remover to bite your face without her wipes or something oil based product. But now it’s all in one so no worries.

Step two after washing your face really nicely with this fresh beauty soy cleanser you need to moisturize your skin and have it prepped and ready for a day what are you going to use makeup or not. Girls you need to take care of your skin. You don’t want to have bad skin or have really unbalanced horrible looking skin in person. Everyone’s skin looks so amazing on social media and YouTube with their make up on and filters and this and that but do you really look like that in person cut? Most of the answer is no. So let’s start taking care of that immediately.

You do not need to use 10 steps in your skin care to have your skin looking amazing. Granted that there are few steps they do help the process but it is not all that necessary. Washing definitely is followed by moisturizing and then yes don’t forget to use your SPF as well. But I recently came up and found this amazing company that has all natural, organic, cold pressed, top grade face oils. I have been using their products for a while now and my skin is super sensitive it has rebalanced my skin my skin is glowing even when I wash my face it looks amazing and I get so many compliments in person. And I want to share this with you.

Please check out my YouTube video on the steps and make sure to comment and give me feedback when you try these products and how they have work for you.

So the second product is called glow anti-oxidant face oil by wild Beaute. They are in a new company that really focuses on cruelty-free vegan and juice pureness and going back to the original world.

 

 

So this face or oil has power packed antioxidants that work to fight free radicals and environmental stress

 

 

 

es in order to help your skin get balanced get even and get protected from any harmful env

 

ironmental stresses. It works with your skin to go deep inside the layers and not just sit on top of your surface like most moisturizer do. You use the space oil does take 2 to 4 drops depending on when you were using it I would use two drops and that’s all you need really massage it into your face and neck two times a day once in the morning and one before going to bed. I have seen clear changes into my skin my skin looks brighter it looks vibrant it looks plumper and it is not irritated at all.

You guys you need to try these products! Please try them and let me know what you think in your experience with them I would only share the best with you!

 

Thank you for reading my blog and my new post and I look forward to sharing more.

I have to say that through out all the make up looks I’ve done there are only a handful few that I am so in love with. This look below is one of my favorites. Being that I have makeup on, it’s not a lot b/ it looks so chic yet sexy at the same time while not being overpowering.

The way to achieve this look is quiet simple.

I have used the following products to get these sweet looks !

I love smashbox ‘s Full Exposure palate, especially for eye contouring and smoky look. It gives the most earthy and blended out results. For this look I used 3 color on the bottom row for lid and crease the 5th on the bottom row.

Mascara’s, I am starting to realize are so important. Not all mascara’s are alike. I have a few favorite after trying the whole world. B/ here is the one I used.

 This is also by Smashbox, X-rated . It gives the most fanned out, voluminous, full effect, and also not clumpy.

 

As for lips:

This is an awsome nude when paired with its component lip gloss

All that Glitters makes your eyes pop *

I am obsessed with glittery, shiny things in makeup. The latest trend with Pat Macgrath holographic highlighters, chromatic nails, now eye chrome by touch in sol. Here my favorite finds that will make you shine like the sun 😀

URBAN DECAY – MOON DUST palette

This palate is so highly pigmented and sparkly and the colors are amazing can be build and worn down from day to night.

 TARTE – SWAMP QUEEN

I love this whole palate it is so shimmery and the colors are very rustic, hence the name. They go on gorgeously not holding back on any luminosity.

 TOUCH IN SOL – Metallist Liquid Foil and Glitter

This has to be one of my favorite eye shadow duo. You can just use the foil part or glitter. When used together the effect is amazing.

 TOM FORD – Cream and Powder Eye color

Although this is a bit too expensive for just a pod. which is my only issue with this TOM FORD product. I do love the shadow and glitter mix they have created. You can use just the cream or mix it for a chic amazing effect. The glitter gives it that pop you will stand out in the crowd from .

Marc Jacob’s Glow Stick

I need to tell you all about this amazing highlighter by Marc Jacobs. I was fortunate enough to get a chance to try this through influenster. What do I say it is a great product! I have tried all the highlighters out there , and love most of them, but have come to find that I don’t really want to walk around looking like I have product on my face. I mean at night it is great because you can’t really tell, but during day time and most of the time that you’ll be walking around product needs to look suddle b/ nice.

Marc Jacobs’ Glow stick does just that. Also another great thing about it is that it come in a turn style holder which is easy to twist like a deodorant. They sell a brush to apply it with , but think the best way to apply it is simply use your middle/ ring finger. It makes the product go on smoothly and flawlessly. It is a creamy texture that goes on sheer with beautiful sparkles. Its not dense , and goes on so beautifully and the best part is naturally. You cannot tell that there is any highlighter on your face being that you get a gorgeous effect of a highlighter at the same time. I would def. recommend this product to anyone who is into getting a natural look. Also, it is still build-able. If you are into strobbing.

May makeup look

 

Hey guys,

 

I am back with my makeup look for the month and what I have used to achieve this dewy, glowy goddess look. I started out with prepping the skin with moisturizer, and face oil.

The combination of using moisturizer and face oil is intense hydration. It literally makes your skin look “plump”. You combine your favorite moisturizer with a nice face oil and simply pat not rub into skin from cheek to cheek, forehead chin and neck.

After this I use my favorite toofaced foundation. The great thing about this foundation is that, it itself has a glowing result.

$39 Too faced  ( it is not dense , or oily )

 Blush by Becca – Camelia – Ballerina pink ( I think if you use your middle finger to apply onto your cheeks it gives it a natural subtle finish

Lipgloss is back ladies !! get ready to shine 😉 – Anastasia RIO- Tropical Pink – $16

 Just a hint of this bronzer on the cheeks $29

 This baby ( Champagne -Becca $38) on cheeks , jawline, lids, neck and chest blended out for a summer perfect glow

 

KEEP shining ladies

Cutex Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads REVIEW!!!

I recently had the pleasure of trying these nail polish remover pads by #cutex. I have to say I love it one pad is enough for all ten nails for the dirtiest colors. Cutex patented formula is designed to remove polish faster than any other brand, and features an exclusive combination of ingredients that will help strengthen and nourish your nails while moisturizing and softening your cuticles at the same time.

 

The pads are big and thick and do not leak the remover. It also doesn’t stink and comes in individual packs so you can take them on the go anywhere. The advanced formula is the one I have tried and that one combines botanical oils with Cutex’s patented remover formula that strengthens and nourishes nails after just one use.

 

How to rock a Summer Glow in Winter

As you all know right now the winter is harsh, brutal and not to mention makes us all look like we live in igloos. Best thing is we cannot change winter but we can adapt to it and bring in summer through ourselves.

I love matte looks but i feel that they make me look more pasty and frigid in this cold. My solution is using make up in a natural way to make yourself shine. Talking about glowing illuminating and highlighting is also the next biggest trend. So step on board and let me show how I got my glow below to confuse our weather 😀

 

First what I love using now days is face oil rather than an actual moisturizer. But If I really want to pack the moisture you can use both obv. The face oil is great because it absorbs into your skin almost instantly and is weightless. Depending on your skin use appropriate Face oil.

Then here is one of my favorite line which is actually known for all year round in having beachy summer glow cosmetics. BECCA

BECCA, Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation in Beige.

This actually has a nice coverage and is buildable. Along with everything it gives that nice glow not too over powering.

 BECCA, Ultimate Coverage concealing creme in Honeycomb. This is actually one of my favorite concealers since it is thick stays in place , covers and illuminates around the eye.

 Since I wanted a little more luminosity I used their Shimmering Skin perfector poured Creme in Moonstone. I apply this on my top of cheek bone, eye lids, above my lips on the cupid’s bow, tip of my nose.

  Finish with light mineral Blush in Wild honey

Ofcourse some liquid lipstick by Too Faced in their new Chocolate Milkshake
