<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whenever seasons change, I always like to change my foundation routine. When the weather change, your skin needs change as well, so you have to adapt your skin care routine and your foundation routine. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I chose the <b>L'oreal Lumi Magique Foundation</b> as my Summer foundation and it will be with me throughout the Fall as well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What it promises:</b> <span style="color: #444444;">"<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Flawless skin as if lift-from-within.</i></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="color: #444444; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">With age, skin can becomes dull and tired. L'Oréal Paris Lumi Magique Light Infusing Foundation helps give instant skin radiance. You will be glowing inside and out.</span></i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">
</span>
<div style="color: #444444; font-style: italic; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">Light texture, let's skin breathe with 24 hours of hydration."</span></i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">
<div style="color: #444444; font-style: italic; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;">I have combination-oily skin that is acne prone. I also have really sensitive pale skin and this foundation didn't broke me out or irritated my skin which is a plus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;">Even though this foundation gives you a glow, it doesn't made my already oily skin oilier that's why it worked for me, so if you have oily skin, I don't think you'll have to shy away from this foundation, specially if you set it with a good powder. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;">I have pale skin with neutral undertones which means that I can go with yellow or rosy tones. Because this foundation was for the summer I chose a rosy tone that would be a little deep than my natural skin tone, and it blended perfectly! The texture of the foundation is quite runny which didn't bother me at, after all is supposed to be a light foundation!</span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;"><i>Without any make-up</i></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;">Here's my pale face without any make up on. I'm breaking out a little bit on my forehead <i>(new college anxiety)</i> and I have huge dark circles as you can see. The only thing I have in these pictures are a moisturizer and a lip balm! </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwgYcvs6VB-jQEGpB9ia3REeeFKBwd1TFcoO54BQziGn-NET5dQmrSf0OtA6NqgDm3D6YkGTk20wkcNc62nKsXifFF-FqaO2YlKFBcC17Hk_sa9Tx5qcWc1fhB6B9lQW2TSq9poIvtcMSg/s1600/with.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="257" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwgYcvs6VB-jQEGpB9ia3REeeFKBwd1TFcoO54BQziGn-NET5dQmrSf0OtA6NqgDm3D6YkGTk20wkcNc62nKsXifFF-FqaO2YlKFBcC17Hk_sa9Tx5qcWc1fhB6B9lQW2TSq9poIvtcMSg/s400/with.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: x-small; line-height: 16px;"><i>Only with the foundation on</i></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 16px;">Here's two pictures with me only wearing the foundation and you can see how it photographs with and without any flash. I applied it with the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Jemma-Kidd-Make-Brush-Foundation/dp/B002TOBRUC">Jemma Kidd flat top foundation brush</a> as I don't like to apply this foundation with my hands, the finish is much shiny that way. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 16px;">As you can see, it didn't cover up my breakouts that well because the coverage is light and if I build it up it only gets greasier so a layer is fine. It gave a healthy glow to my skin and my dark circles weren't as noticeable. It didn't cover my redness as well, but that's what concealers are for right? </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 16px;">I use two pumps to cover all my face and neck and it's enough. When I set it with powder it lasts on my skin 6 to 8 hours tops, so it's not that long wearing but it could be worse!</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgNbp76NjB7TzJtH9kbJLqZvaOSOCOix4C5O_jUkb61_pTK_Gm6qR34WVyNhf5HqHhyK325HiHUd464C4MBqKo2lw8HdVDmUhE2_QOrSg7tnzvP3XuSe_Yf3XE1P501NoM8WoNrlrW6iF7/s1600/full+face.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgNbp76NjB7TzJtH9kbJLqZvaOSOCOix4C5O_jUkb61_pTK_Gm6qR34WVyNhf5HqHhyK325HiHUd464C4MBqKo2lw8HdVDmUhE2_QOrSg7tnzvP3XuSe_Yf3XE1P501NoM8WoNrlrW6iF7/s400/full+face.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: x-small;"><i>Full make-up</i></span></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 16px;">Here's the finished look! I settled the foundation with the <a href="http://www.makeupforever.com/products/hd-powder.html#.UjxzpcajXVE">Make Up Forever HD Powder </a>and it took some of the shine away. This foundation doesn't have spf in it but it definitely doesn't photograph that well I must say, it could be better. But for the naked eye, the foundation is seamless on your skin and it doesn't exaggerate your pores which is always a plus for me.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><b>Overall is a great foundation, specially if you don't have that much problem areas to cover and just want a everyday light foundation!</b></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 16px;">I bought mine from <a href="http://www.feelunique.com/p/LOreal-Paris-Lumi-Magique-Light-Infusing-Foundation-30ml">feelunique.com</a> as here in Portugal the cost of it is much more expensive and my shade isn't even available here! </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you know me at all, you are familiar with my obsession with The Body Shop since I was like 12 years old and the first shop in Portugal opened. I love their products and their ethics, and even though there are some controversy about them </span>joining<span style="font-family: inherit;"> the L'oreal group, I couldn't care less, because their philosophy is the same as always: To create good products for your skin without damaging the Earth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you know me at all as well, you would know that I love honey. The scent of it, the taste...everything! So I was super excited when I saw the new <b>Honeymania</b> products made with community fair trade honey available in Portugal shops!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I wish I could've bought the whole collection now, but I couldn't, so for now I bought these three amazing products that I'll share with you today!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwMdNxupRVFCFRItuRmvBsA5pCjRkMFy79THheFZggEJOmepzB4wR2Phw1y66AYm1bFANc41JMh8qgXdDfBzKiSB-kR8tcB8G6wa_q0Cnu4J8a6mqK2fjcnZgpDCA8WCKuuC8Wylwa5Ukm/s1600/DSCN6625.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwMdNxupRVFCFRItuRmvBsA5pCjRkMFy79THheFZggEJOmepzB4wR2Phw1y66AYm1bFANc41JMh8qgXdDfBzKiSB-kR8tcB8G6wa_q0Cnu4J8a6mqK2fjcnZgpDCA8WCKuuC8Wylwa5Ukm/s400/DSCN6625.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First I'll start with the <a href="http://thebodyshop.com/by-line/honeymania/honeymania-eau-de-toilette.aspx" style="font-weight: bold;">Honeymania Eau de Toilette</a>! This fragrance has a wonderful sweet and floral scent that stays beautifully on your skin, specially if you wear the other products of the range underneath. It smells exactly like the other products, but it's much more light and floral, which is something I like. My boyfriend loved the scent of this and the body butter, he couldn't stop smelling me all day!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJnJQLUylHS3xNpBNZNpEzzOq9W3WKWOJkHj7UrKHLdCVYr-oRyhvdqwO08SBlOzxxCOMk5nCrAc4e7p_39QQjdrveEuQuubX98DN6Sfk3l7xJ6M5bSZCaaA64T5NlLE24dUwUU9D8jE17/s1600/scrub.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJnJQLUylHS3xNpBNZNpEzzOq9W3WKWOJkHj7UrKHLdCVYr-oRyhvdqwO08SBlOzxxCOMk5nCrAc4e7p_39QQjdrveEuQuubX98DN6Sfk3l7xJ6M5bSZCaaA64T5NlLE24dUwUU9D8jE17/s640/scrub.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next we have the <a href="http://thebodyshop.com/by-line/honeymania/honeymania-body-scrub.aspx"><b>Honeymania Body Scrub</b></a>! This has to be one of my favorite scrubs of all time, I confess. It has a wonderful scent, just like the other Honeymania products, but it's rich consistency scrubs your dead skin cells away while leaving your skin silky smooth and hydrated! I don't have dry skin, so a lot of rich creams and scrubs can leave a residue on my skin, but this one doesn't. If you only can buy one of the things from this collection, I would say give this one a go, it's amazing!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiEipi3ZSNl-vIKY0HfXNZIosK_5H-X9xrmMYniz6GzNkL63hILOsEAi7To-4cwumBWK6sQ7p9enV_ZzwYR99vF9w9tneD9HQk3AQsn-XcCinqW0lI8s9VJyENiR5-L_zwDHpKsOiNsRnM/s1600/Lipbalm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiEipi3ZSNl-vIKY0HfXNZIosK_5H-X9xrmMYniz6GzNkL63hILOsEAi7To-4cwumBWK6sQ7p9enV_ZzwYR99vF9w9tneD9HQk3AQsn-XcCinqW0lI8s9VJyENiR5-L_zwDHpKsOiNsRnM/s640/Lipbalm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last thing I bought was the <b><a href="http://thebodyshop.com/by-line/honeymania/honeymania-lip-balm.aspx">Honeymania Lip Balm</a> </b>which tastes delicious by the way! Even though you can't eat it (shame) you'll have a sweet taste on your lips all day long while rocking some smooth and soft lips. I really loved the smooth and natural look that this balm provided me and it looks good underneath any lipgloss or lipstick you are going for that day. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGPA6qh6RXC61ILhgWYA2J8696752TURCowesDShHNOMuPR553SJpakdL_xQj-Hd4Jk1HudR_BZyVakTA169bFmqEu7_ty7_Tdp6tgo-R0-0g89ZQFkx6l6tu_JovWW3nXDB8iJlhypvhA/s1600/DSCN6616.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGPA6qh6RXC61ILhgWYA2J8696752TURCowesDShHNOMuPR553SJpakdL_xQj-Hd4Jk1HudR_BZyVakTA169bFmqEu7_ty7_Tdp6tgo-R0-0g89ZQFkx6l6tu_JovWW3nXDB8iJlhypvhA/s320/DSCN6616.JPG" width="299" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Lastly, the lovely girl at the counter gave me a sample of the <b><a href="http://thebodyshop.com/by-line/honeymania/honeymania-body-butter.aspx">Honeymania Body Botter</a> </b>which smells divine and gives your skin great hydration without leaving an oily residue. Definitely my next purchase from this collection for sure! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To see the rest of the Honeymania collection you can go to their international page <a href="http://thebodyshop.com/by-line/honeymania.aspx"><b>here</b></a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And this was my haul from The Body Shop, and it was for sure a good one! I'm really pleased with these products. <b>So have you tried this new collection by The Body Shop?</b></div>

Welcome to the second chapter of my beauty blog! It's been years since I last blogged and since then, a lot in my life as changed.<br />
<br />
The name of this blog changed as well, it was called <i><span style="color: #990000;">anne-marie-bardot</span></i> and now it's called <b><span style="color: #990000;">My Beauty Tea Cup</span></b>! I explain everything on my <a href="http://my-beautyteacup.blogspot.pt/p/about.html">About</a> section so I'm not going into detail about it in this post!<br />
<br />
I'm really excited to start blogging again as it's been a long time coming. I feel like I have so much to share, and it's not all about beauty!<br />
Even though beauty reviews and tips has been the main focus on this blog (and still will be) I do want to share more things I've learned about health, style, fitness and so on. Years a go when I stopped blogging I discovered Yoga and it changed my life completely. So I'll definitely will be sharing some yoga insight with you as well.<br />
<br />
With youtube videos and everything, blogging as been put in the back corner for a lot of people. Maybe because watching videos is more fun for some people than reading and watching pictures, still I love blogs and it's the first source I go for reviews of beauty products.<br />
<br />
I love to write and read, so blogging is certainly an outlet for me, something that keeps me going and shelters me from the real world a bit... a hobby!<br />
<br />
Now, at almost 24 years old, I started a new chapter of my life. I no longer feel stuck in expectations and in a life that is not mine <i>(I'll post something about this along the way),</i> my passion for sharing my beauty insights has come to me again and it just feels right!<br />
<br />
I hope you all join me in this new chapter, and if you have some tips and tricks about blogging or whatever feel free to share with me!<br />
<br />
You can now follow me on <a href="https://twitter.com/themarisasantos">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/themarisasantos">Instagram</a> if you want. I mostly wright Portuguese on my twitter but everything that's about beauty or so, I make sure it's in English, so let's be friends on there ;)<br />

<br />
<b>The Body Shop</b> is one of my all time favorite stores since FOREVER, so even when I'm not byuing anything, I always like to go there just for the scents, the great colors and awesome products. Today I actually needed some things so I hopped there and did my monthly hair and face routine buys.<br />

I ran out of my current facial cleanser and I wanted to try this new organic range from them for ages, so I grabbed the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/face-wash/prod1030423">Nutriganics Foaming Facial Wash</a>. I think this is for all types of skin which is great for my combination skin. <br />
My hair has been really dry and dull these past few weeks, and I've been hearing so much good things about these products that I had to bought the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/natural-shampoo/prod1031263">Banana Shampoo & Conditioner</a>. They smell divine!! <br />
I wanted the <a href="http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/hair-treatment/prod170053">Coconut oil Hair shine</a> since forever so this time I couldn't help it and bought one... it's smells really good and it's not heavy on my fine hair.<br />
I also renewed my <u>Love your Body</u> card which everyone who shops there should have one! It gives you amazing discounts, plus you'll get the 10euros back worth of products on your birthday ;) <br />

<b>YSL Touche Éclat -</b> This isone of the most sold make-up products in the world. And it promises wonders, so I had to try it out. It's expensive (33 euros) but if so many people are buying it must be great right? I got mine in shade 1, and I can't wait to try it!<br />

<br />
If you live in Portugal and you love fashion and magazines then you'll know that in January, Vogue Portugal surprised us with some awesome Estée Lauder Lipsticks as a gift. I live in Lisbon and it was chaos to get these lipsticks, because they were all sold out! Luckily, I got my hands into two copies (both a gift from my mom and my ex) and I was really excited with the shades and the amazing quality lipsticks! The shades that I choose were <b><u>53 Cranberry</u></b> and <b><u>13 Cocoa Rose</u></b>.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><u><b>Cocoa Rose</b></u></span></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT3sxiRYv8G65FQhDA3nFOS7RoRuSyRgLSAOxQN52vducNgxox-Ohk3tN_22FFeuHEJZb33HCWMMUIDWRx8IoXlvvEsvTiQwI9gUmpH2uzt3Kap_EZzPbjUqME6q2doKR37lik11pox0mM/s1600/catsf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT3sxiRYv8G65FQhDA3nFOS7RoRuSyRgLSAOxQN52vducNgxox-Ohk3tN_22FFeuHEJZb33HCWMMUIDWRx8IoXlvvEsvTiQwI9gUmpH2uzt3Kap_EZzPbjUqME6q2doKR37lik11pox0mM/s400/catsf.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(I'm sorry for the non make-up face and messy hair ahaha)</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">This is my all time favorite lipstick at the moment. It looks like a bold color, but it's really natural as you can see from the picture above. You can build up the color, but it will always look subtle. This is the perfect shade for me. It's an everyday color yet it can be worn on a night out and you can still rock the evening look. It has a satin finish and doesn't dry out your lips.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-size: large;">Cranberry</span></u></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Cranberry is the perfect Marilyn Monroe lip. It's really long lasting but doesn't dry out or make your lips flaky. It's not a subtle shade like Cocoa Rose, even though is a softer red it will always show up as a blood red color on your lips... It's beautiful. You can always soften it with some lipgloss over it, that's what I do when I'm trying to reach a more natural look.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Overall, these are great lipsticks that I would definitely splurge just for the quality, so thank you Vogue!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u> I would love to know which are your favorite lipstick brands! xoxo*</u></b> </div>Marisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01897137391452157403noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500443939328025051.post-8944575652635311072011-02-20T13:12:00.001+00:002011-02-20T13:13:27.320+00:00February Fashion and Make-up Haul: New Look, H&M, Bershka and MACHi Ladies! It's been too long I know... School has been taking all my time which is a shame, but I'll try to catch on (:<br />
<br />
I wasn't planing on buying that much this month because I bought a HUGE order of Lingerie from <b>New Look</b>, and I have to say that I love everything. Great quality, great prices... and cute bits!! I bought 4 sets of lingerie and it was about 60 euros with shipping included... If I would bought it here in Portugal it would cost much more since a bra it's like 20 euros.... I'm not going to show you what I've got, I don't think it would be appropriated (ahahaha) but you can check the New Look website <a href="http://www.newlook.com/">here</a>. <br />
<br />
I went to <b>H&M</b> trying to find a cute and light cardigan for spring, and they had a lot of them! I was lost in there and wanted everything! They had beautiful navy blues and light pinks and grays that I couldn't resist... But I have too much pink and blue stuff so I got this light cream one for 20 euros in xs (They run bigger).<br />
<br />

I never liked aviator sunglasses to be honest. I thought they would look awful on me and everyone had a pair so I always ignore them... Well, I love the show <i>"Californication"</i> and Karen always rocks a silver pair beautifully, so the show made me bought some silver aviator sunglasses ahaha they were 5 euros in <b>H&M</b>. Then I needed some basic long vests, so I went to <b>Bershka</b> and bought 3 cute vests for 4 euros each. I choose the size L because they run longer and are more flowy. I have a small torso and a big bust so choosing tops it's always hard, because they never fit perfectly, always too small on the bust and too baggy on the torso, <b><i>I found that choosing a bigger size will balance things out more, so it's a great tip if you are like me (32C/D).</i></b><br />

<b>Mac </b>is on of my favorite make-up brands. Great quality and colors, but they are REALLY expensive here in Portugal. They came out with some beautiful collections these past few months, especially <b>Cham Pale</b> and <b>Peacocky Collections</b>. I had the <u>Eye Khol "I get no kick"</u> in my head since December and I REALLY wanted it so I finally got my hands on one and I'm addicted! I use it for everything! Lining the upper and waterline, lining the lips, highlighting etc... It has become on of my favorite make-up items!<br />
From the Peacocky collection I got a metallic eye shadow in <u>"Top of the Posh"</u> , a beautiful light metallic pink shade and <u>Kissable Lipcolor in Enchantée</u> which is a lipstick in lipgloss form. I'm loving all these products!!!!<br />

I have been running out of my fragrances so a friend bought me the new Britney Spears fragrance called <b>"Radiance"</b>. It's has a beautiful sweet yet floral scent which is quite light and flirty, I'm really liking this fragrance right now. The packaging is a little bit tacky for me, but it's the scent that counts and I love it, so no biggy!<br />

This was my little haul of the month, I'm sorry I've been away. My life has changed a lot and I'm trying to fire out a lot of things and trying to focus more on College. I'm going to catch up on all your blogs right now and <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #660000;">Thanks for all your sweet and empowering comments on my latest post, it really meant A LOT to me <3</span></b>Marisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01897137391452157403noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500443939328025051.post-4413552054888564102011-01-19T17:27:00.000+00:002011-01-19T17:27:09.698+00:00Celebrity Style and Make-up Inspired: Jessica SimpsonSince I started to care about fashion, one of my biggest "role models" in style is <b>Jessica Simpson</b>. We just have to admit, she always looks good. Even in the make-up and hair department, she always looks polished yet natural. Even though she sang about her Levis jeans and a T-shirt, if you look closer enough to her casual looks a <b>blouse and jeans</b> is always what she opts for. And trust me, I know her every looks.<br />
Jessica's favorite make-up look is the<b> natural smokey brown</b>, which looks gorgeous on her and it's great for day and night. <b>So in this post, fashion wise it will be all about blouses and jeans, and the make-up part will be all about a bronzed-brown natural look, inspired by Jessica Simpson.</b><br />

Jessica often rocks a fitted slim blouse which looks gorgeous on her. I love the way she pairs it with some jeans which tones down the professional look of a blouse. She always wears heels, so a skinny jean with winter boots or even a boot cut jean with some booties would look really elegant and casual.<br />

I recreated this look with a black cotton cardi for the spring or if you don't want to show much skin. I wore high heel boots and skinny jeans tucked into the boots, just like she always does. Large gold hoop hearings are a must with this look (You'll see them better on the last pic), it will give you a much more classy look. Jessica always likes big belts, so I tought I would use a dark one.<br />

</div>Oversized blouses are a staple in Jessica's closet! She wears them a lot, especially on casual days. She loves to wear them with just shorts or jeans and sometimes she likes to play with the accessories like in the third picture. She often chooses ones with patterns, especially when she made a switch to country music.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">To recreate this look I choose a simple blue blouse with vertical tin stripes and some boot-cut destroyed jeans. As an accessory I only wore a a silver necklace which complimented the look very well. This look is more casual than the previous one, but it's much more comfortable and versatile. You could wear it with any snickers, booties, high heels or boots. I only thought it would be appropriated to use some brown shades from the JS Collection as well ;) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Jessica Simpson's make-up it's very natural, but she uses a lot of it. I love her make-up looks, because it's hard to wear a lot of make-up and look so natural but she does it quite well I must say. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">As you can see from the pictures above, brown and bronzed looks are her favorites. She rocks them on the red carpet, photoshoots or in an everyday basis, so I'll recreate that one.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>This look is very simple and you don't need a lot of eye-shadows, the most important thing is the base</b>. She always has a flawless glowy face. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">For the eyes, I used a <b>light bronze shimmery shade</b> at the lid and blend it really well. Then with the same shade, I lined the outer part, really closed to the waterline. For the crease, I choose a <b>dark brown shade </b>and blended it with the bronze shade. I really blended well, so it won't look too harsh. With a <b>white eye shadow</b> I just highlighted the brow bone and the inner conner of the eyes. To line my eyes, I choose a matte <b>black eye shadow </b>to look more natural, and did it really closer to my lash line. Then I used a <b>white khol pencil</b> to line my water line, so my eyes would look bigger.</div><div style="text-align: left;">For the macara I used one of Jessica's favorite: <b>L'oreal Voluminous</b> (bottom lashes as well, Jessica always puts on her lower lashes)! Because it clumps a little bit, I top coted it with <b>Benefit mascara</b>. Jessica has big eyes, and so do I, so this look suited me really well! Here are the products I used for the eyes (I forgot to photograph the eye liner (duh) it's the L'oreal Khol pencil in white):</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Now for the rest of my face, I had to use<b> a lot of bronzer</b>, because she makes sure she's always tanned! I also had to go back to a <b>liquid foundation because she always has a dewy natural finish</b>. </div><div style="text-align: left;">For the cheeks, I opted for <b>a rosy light blush and little bit of a bronze color on top</b>, to give it a more coral and bronzed look.<b> I highlighted the top of my cheek bones AND on the tip of my nose!</b> Yes, this is her trick to cover the bump on her nose, I also have one, so I had to do this trick! </div><div style="text-align: left;">For the lips, I choose one of Jessica's favorite lipsticks which is <b>Angel a satin soft pink lipstick</b>, and on top a <b>nude/pastel lipgloss</b> for a more natural and fresh look.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Here are the products I used to create the base and the lip products:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I didn't bought to many things because I'm trying to save for the summer, and everything was on sale so I had to carefully pick the things I most wanted before I would be "allured" by the awesome good prices. I told myself I wouldn't buy anything this sale season because it's ridiculous, but I really wanted these items. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I was debating on buying this plaid sweater because it was two sizes bigger than my normal size which is an XS to a S. I didn't wanted to buy it in a slim fit because I wanted to wear leggings and jeggings with it and it has to be bigger, plus I had a great idea of wearing it in the spring with just a tank top underneath. It would look really casual. Then my boyfriend got me out of my misery and bought it for me :P</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

These are so comfortable because they look of jeans but had that soft legging material. Even though they are a little bigger on my legs, I love them and can't wait to wear them! <br />

I was born with blonde golden hair. I had ( and have) a big head with almost no hair on it. I was really fair so it was cute. When I was around 2-3 years old my hair start to curl up, and I had cute waves and curls until I was 4 years old... Then my hair start becoming super straight as you can see in the pictures above. My hair turned into a dark golden blonde with highlights. I had brown, red and light blonde highlights through my my hair naturally so I always heard a lot of compliments since I was a child because my hair was so dimensional (lol). <br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is my natural hair color (dark blonde). I was 15 to 17 years old in these pictures and it was the last time I had my natural color. Once I hit 17, I wanted to have dark hair, because since I was a child I wanted to be a brunette. My best friends were all brunettes with beautiful full dark hair and dark skin, and I was a pale girl with the weird colored hair... that was my perspective, so I dyed it dark brown<i> (picture bellow)</i>, and it looked horrible. I loved it at the time, because my hazel eyes were so bright and finally I was a brunette! I remember my friends and family being like <b>"what did you do to your hair??? It looks so bad!!!" </b>and I was really impressed about their honesty and finally did something about it. I dyed it platinum blonde ahahaha which I think suited me quite well because of my fair skin and it looked natural. I had it light blonde for 3 years and finally decided I should darken up to a medium blonde which is what my hair is now, you'll see in the pictures bellow <i>(last one on the right)</i>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have really fine straight hair which can be damaged really easily, so all the hair coloring has taken it's tool. One of my new years resolutions is to get back into my natural hair color a dark blonde with highlights. I really prefer a healthy hair to a super light blonde hair. My hair is a <b>level 7</b> so I search for a permanent color with that level and found a Garnier Nutrisse shade that resembles a lot my natural color. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I have used Garnier Nutrisse before and really liked the results and the way it did my hair feel. The color was really long lasting and it didn't damaged my hair like other permanent hair colors did before, so I choose this one.<br />
<b>I'm going to show you some before and after pictures so you can see the final results and my thoughts of this hair color and shade! </b><br />

</div><b>I loved the end results</b>. It looks very natural and I still have some highlights. I did left the color for more time (35 minutes) and really saturated my ends because they were the lightest part. On natural light it looks like a dark natural blonde which I love!!! I don't think I'll go back to dye my hair back to light blonde, it really damaged it and I don't want that. <br />
<br />
The color will eventually fade and I'll have to keep the dark color, I'm thinking of trying <b>Clairol perfect 10</b> but it's been quite hard finding the shade 7 and a place online where I can buy it because her in Portugal Clairol it's not available. So if I ever try I'll definitely show you guys the results if you want!Marisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01897137391452157403noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500443939328025051.post-12116290237998002432011-01-05T19:09:00.001+00:002011-01-05T19:10:44.616+00:00Show me how you BURLESQUE!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDD-bf5Ic6wck-xEC-ot1Rd9BmdAMiC-u-2bKV19WEyN5zJp3oezX63FOh7ybPheNYta2csfSDOvO1zSzwa7VE0LgNOq9_NUi8lnzYSwoRGeiRFRtLX4_-uzdJE2xf3Iq5FvCnnGkSxfI0/s1600/photo-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDD-bf5Ic6wck-xEC-ot1Rd9BmdAMiC-u-2bKV19WEyN5zJp3oezX63FOh7ybPheNYta2csfSDOvO1zSzwa7VE0LgNOq9_NUi8lnzYSwoRGeiRFRtLX4_-uzdJE2xf3Iq5FvCnnGkSxfI0/s400/photo-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
If you know me <b>AT ALL</b> you'll know one thing: <b style="color: #660000;">Since I was 9 years old I am obsessed with Christina Aguilera</b>. I know, it's not that interesting of a fact, but it's mine.<br />
I remember the first time I saw her music video for <i>"Genie in a Bottle"</i>, I was at my old cousins house watching mtv and her video came up... and I was hooked. Since then, I've collected every magazine, album, dvd, book, interviews and documentaries involving her. My friends at school called me <span style="color: #660000;">Marysa Aguilera </span>because I would be always singing her songs and trying to be her like every teen girl out there.You can ask me anything about this woman, I will answer you right away because I know... I still know every dance move she did on her videos and performances. I know almost every interview out there and used them a lot in school on my oral presentations because I love the way she talks and presents herself.<br />
My boyfriend says I look like her <b>(which I know I DON'T)</b> because we have the same ways... I talk like her and move like her, it's really odd. I have seen so many things from her over the years that I have her ways now without even noticing, even the voice... it's really weird and I tried to changed it but I can't ahahah I guess I have grown watching her and admiring her so I picked up some things from her. All her albums helped me a lot, especially the album Stripped, her songs <i>"Cruz" </i>and <i>"Soar"</i> were my signature ones ehehe Now I can't choose a favorite, just don't ask me to do that ok? <br />
<br />

Now that I gave you this huge introduction, I'm going to talk about her first movie<b style="color: #990000;"> "Burlesque".</b> Today was my 4th anniversary with my boyfriend, and to celebrate he knew how much I wanted to see <b style="color: #990000;">"Burlesque"</b> but couldn't go before because I have finals... so he choose today and didn't mind coming with me to see this movie. I have to say, when the movie starts and Christina (Ali) talks I start shaking of happiness... Then she started to sing <i>"Something's got a Hold on me"</i> and I was glued to the chair. <br />

The musicals were beautiful. The dance moves, the vocals, the instrumentals and the effects were gorgeous. <b style="color: #660000;">Sensual girls dancing, beautiful music and background... you will left the cinema so inspired you will want to go home, put on a dark eye liner and a red lipstick and just dance on top of a chair!</b><br />
All the actors and actresses were all very well known and did a great job, even Christina did really well! But I have to say that the star was <b>Cher</b>. Powerful yet graceful, Cher was back to her old days of acting and singing and gave her all. When the song <i>"You haven't seen the Last of me"</i> was on, you could feel her pain and hope, it was really emotional and beautiful. <br />

Even though the story isn't that original, it will give you a message of hope and that everything is possible, you'll just have to fight for it. It captured perfectly the feel and vibe to Burlesque, adding a a more modern vibe to it without taking it out of concept. Even if you don't like musicals, the image effects and mix of genre of music will catch your attention and you'll definitely be entertained. <br />
I am a hard rock fan of Christina Aguilera but you can trust my word when I say you will not be disappointed! <br />

I already had the soundtrack since the beginning of December so I knew the words to all the songs! It's a beautiful soundtrack that every musical fan should have! You can buy it on amazon like me, just click the image below (:<br />

</ol>Hi Ladies! I hope you all had a great New Years and I wish all my readers a wonderful new year with lots of love <3<br />
I'm going to start the New Year talking about skin care which is the most important part of every beauty routine. You have to find the right products for your skin type. It's not easy, it takes a lot of money spending and breakouts to find the perfect products sometimes, but you'll get there!<br />
<br />
Right now I have combination skin which means that I have some oily, dry and normal parts of my skin. The key to any skin care or make-up or even fashion is <u><b>balance</b></u>. So with your skin care, you'll gave to look for balance. I found that these products give my skin the perfect balance, so at the end of the day my skin looks normal and not dry or oily.<br />
I don't use a toner. For me there's not need for it. So a <b>cleanser and a moisturizer</b> it's only what I need.Then I use a make-up remover at night and an eye gel at day and night.<br />

I don't really like this product. It's a bit expensive for what it is... and it honestly does nothing for my dark circles. I use it everyday because I spent some money on it and I want to finish it up before I start using the nivea aqua one. </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><br />
So that's it! I usually change my skin care routine once the seasons change because or skin changes as well, but this is by far my favorite one. I'll recommend to everyone the cleanser by Lush because it's just heaven!<br />
I exfoliate once a week with the <a href="http://anne-marie-bardot.blogspot.com/2010/11/review-magic-peeling-glove.html">magic peeling glove</a> like I said in previous pots, so I didn't feel the need to incorporate it here as well.<br />

I just bought in Spain a cute Marilyn Monroe board to hang on my room... I think it looks really pretty and it gives a more girly yet classy look to my room. I love the conjunction of pink and white as you can see, and with the red lips on the picture it just gives a pop... I kind of love it <3<br />

I was always that kind of girl who thought red lipstick would look horrible on her. I have very fair skin and light hair so red lips would be too bold for me. This Christmas, part of my boyfriend's gift was a make-up kit with lipsticks, lip glosses and eye shadows. The lipsticks were dark colored and the lip glosses as well. I was scared but at the same time it was the perfect time for me to try something bold and let go of my red fear, and I kind of loved it! <b>I think you can wear a red lipstick everyday as long as it's the right shade for you and your eye make-up looks very simple and natural. On the two pictures above I have no make-up on, only the lipstick and lipgloss.</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEDJpb9u_Sgj_g9y0YyVUm0VCbE82qAVzhEaRXEXbh3tqTcGI5_IvgRrw3NuIVmSEOPQLLvsSDJJyg9LsjHnIi7UaR_Q9-m97RZKASOhG0hGzjN4GNoAAFvZgqXiMCdfjdpy-bHDn0TzYT/s1600/Imagem+249.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="337" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEDJpb9u_Sgj_g9y0YyVUm0VCbE82qAVzhEaRXEXbh3tqTcGI5_IvgRrw3NuIVmSEOPQLLvsSDJJyg9LsjHnIi7UaR_Q9-m97RZKASOhG0hGzjN4GNoAAFvZgqXiMCdfjdpy-bHDn0TzYT/s400/Imagem+249.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
To achieved this natural red lip I only used these three products: <br />
<ol style="color: #990000;"><li><b>Labello Cherry Lipbalm</b></li>
<li><b>Red satin lipstick</b></li>
<li><b> Red Lipgloss</b> </li>
</ol>This is my own way to get that natural red lip for an everyday look. A lot of people do it differently, but you'll have to do what it's the best way for your skin. These are not expensive brand products, you don't need a MAC or Chanel lipstick to get that perfect red lip.These were the three steps I did:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2GWfZvFFOdIC2g8qFCOFMxfmJVSZ1f2nP0cbeUeYf9Xa5CABgETjRVcmaQWIZjLvsY6iGqsY634sA6rs3gO6QD_43HCrAN0MhGRBjIpv047jUIJR1m9weHckE02CcMoEsLxAZ-0u6_9uF/s1600/Imagem+250-vert.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2GWfZvFFOdIC2g8qFCOFMxfmJVSZ1f2nP0cbeUeYf9Xa5CABgETjRVcmaQWIZjLvsY6iGqsY634sA6rs3gO6QD_43HCrAN0MhGRBjIpv047jUIJR1m9weHckE02CcMoEsLxAZ-0u6_9uF/s400/Imagem+250-vert.jpg" width="295" /></a></div><br />
First I applied a red tinted lip balm to my lips so they stay moisturized yet slightly tinted with a subtle red shimmery color. I used a Labello (Nivea) one, but you can use wherever you have on your collection already.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrz2sxLt4DzvQNTWiI8WXKz25RubTIunYAap3Ggn1se0pSImSN8vvHw2GVL0eYhhAR5nTugDrQI7EfdZYu6AhLUaat9ON1XItU0rBwCr1wt1Ib8emVFMB_VyNwELuOcPDVradYLnlGj2HT/s1600/Imagem+251-vert.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrz2sxLt4DzvQNTWiI8WXKz25RubTIunYAap3Ggn1se0pSImSN8vvHw2GVL0eYhhAR5nTugDrQI7EfdZYu6AhLUaat9ON1XItU0rBwCr1wt1Ib8emVFMB_VyNwELuOcPDVradYLnlGj2HT/s400/Imagem+251-vert.jpg" width="192" /></a></div><br />
Once the lipbalm sinked a little into my lips, I applied the red lipstick. This is a satin finished red lipstick with subtle cool/pink undertones. Warm/orange undertones would not suit my skin. As you can see, I didn't overdo it because it would look too harsh.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhniskyTheqnUxXtdz3Z-0BzDTZohyphenhyphen0nXuPyhw7YWKuCWYMV7yJH56DCsmoO0iIBgDG6jZJU3XjFAdTKAJq4e6xP57loIUKfBZlGKuK_YZJ2OmZwwQJ0H4Gs8EOT8KAW4qpz71UDx8NbRjP/s1600/Imagem+253-vert.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhniskyTheqnUxXtdz3Z-0BzDTZohyphenhyphen0nXuPyhw7YWKuCWYMV7yJH56DCsmoO0iIBgDG6jZJU3XjFAdTKAJq4e6xP57loIUKfBZlGKuK_YZJ2OmZwwQJ0H4Gs8EOT8KAW4qpz71UDx8NbRjP/s400/Imagem+253-vert.jpg" width="188" /></a></div><br />
The final step is to apply a red lip gloss for that shimmery and mirror like finish. You could not use the lip-gloss if you wanted to, but I think a hint of glossiness would be perfect for a cute red lip. <br />
<br />
<u>For an everyday look, you shouldn't wear super dark eye make up or even blush. I would just stick to mascara and a black eyeliner on your top or bottom lid and a shimmery subtle blush. </u><br />
<br />
There are a lot of blonde and pale celebrities who rock red lipstick on the red carpet, those were the ones I took inspiration from, because they look gorgeous! It makes me realize who pathetic I was for being so afraid of red colors on my lips...<br />

Hi Ladies! It's the end of 2010 <i>(thank God)</i> so I thought I would do my favorite products of the year! This year I found some really good products that I use a lot and love. Some of them I didn't mention before and others I already did a rave about them, so let's begin!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><u style="color: #38761d;"><b>Body Care Products </b></u></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHGogbq0xi6BHPZCcy2ja-fXx3DAB7rKZQKyhLxshn9deTv1oRNY1XMmMksyPx9btTgCt8hOKgxwa-VpGf_W6K0WHid1WutW7LRCZOHGL_7sR0RjjrAMP7PMl_IfZoaFcl_Oo7U9jmVTGp/s1600/Imagem+187.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHGogbq0xi6BHPZCcy2ja-fXx3DAB7rKZQKyhLxshn9deTv1oRNY1XMmMksyPx9btTgCt8hOKgxwa-VpGf_W6K0WHid1WutW7LRCZOHGL_7sR0RjjrAMP7PMl_IfZoaFcl_Oo7U9jmVTGp/s320/Imagem+187.jpg" width="296" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">1. <b>Xen-Tan Mist Intense</b> - I'm a really pale person that burns very easily under the sun, so before I get a cute bronzed color I get red like a lobster, and it isn't attractive at all I must say. Over the years I've tried a lot of bronzers that were blotchy and orange, not this one. The application it's smooth and the color it's gorgeous! It lasts a week on me, and it fades beautifully, I used it throughout this whole summer, definitely a favorite! Well done Xen-Tan! </div><div style="text-align: left;">2. <b>Magic Peeling Glove</b> - You have heard me talk about this product before, and I still will. This changed my skin for better and it's a product that I'll always use. Check out my review about it <a href="http://anne-marie-bardot.blogspot.com/2010/11/review-magic-peeling-glove.html">here</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">3. <b>Lush H' Suan Wen Hua Hair Treatment - </b>I tried this product in the summer as well and was amazed by the first application. It really "feeds" your hair amazing ingredients for healthy and shiny hair. If you want to read my review about it click <a href="http://anne-marie-bardot.blogspot.com/2010/09/review-lush-hsuan-wen-hua-hair.html">here</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;">4. <b>Pantene Aqua Light Hair Mist</b> - I actually love the whole Aqua light line, but this is definitely my favorite product from pantene. You can use it on your dry hair and it ill give you shine and a smooth feel to your hair, amazing stuff! If you want to read my rave about the whole line click <a href="http://anne-marie-bardot.blogspot.com/2010/11/review-pantene-aqua-light.html">here</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

5. <b>Lush Angels on Bare skin cleanser -</b> I can actually say that this is the best cleanser for my skin that I have ever tried. I have combination skin and it balances my oily/ dry skin perfectly. I will do a review about this soon, because this cleanser really is an Angel for my sensitive skin.<br />
6.<b> Lush Ultra Bland cleanser -</b> I use this product to remove my make up at night, and it's a must! Removes everything without being rough on your skin and without leaving any residue. While I was on accutane this was the only make-up remover that didn't sting my skin. <br />
7. <b>Uriage Hyséac moisturizer</b> - I already talked about this product on my previous post. If you have acne prone skin you should have this in your routine every day, it helped me a lot with my acne and dark spots.<br />
<br />

Beautiful air brushed satin finish and long lasting. It photographs beautifully. I'm going to rock a tan this New Year's Party and will be rocking this foundation as well, so my pictures look awesome! You can see me review about this foundation <span id="goog_1862755722"></span><a href="http://anne-marie-bardot.blogspot.com/2010/09/review-maybelline-dream-liquid-mousse.html">here<span id="goog_1862755723"></span></a>. <br />
9.<b>Benefit One Hot Minute Powder -</b> I use this everyday as a bronzer. It has beautiful rose gold shimmer to it, which makes it soft and subtle for fair skinned girls like me. It also looks gorgeous on top of any blush. I definitely recommend this for any pale girl who just wants a sun kissed glow. <br />
10.<b> MAC Perfect Topping MSF -</b> I use this as a highlight and it's just gorgeous. This was a limited edition MSF but I think you can still buy it from ebay, and I'm sure MAC will re-promote it! Here's a close up of the color:<br />
<br />

11. <b>MAC Feline Eye Khol - </b>This is the blackest eye liner you can find! Love the really dark color for my eyes, because I really look like a feline when I wear this on my eyes, wish it didn't smudge so much though! <br />
<br />
And these were my favorites product finds this year.

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #444444;"><span style="color: black;">Disclaimer: </span></span></b><span style="color: #444444;">The products I'm about to show you worked for <b>my</b> skin. These were products prescribed to me by a dermatologist.I'm only showing you what I did and how it worked. I'm not a doctor or anything, so you have to be careful while using anything harsh for your skin and always follow the instructions. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><u style="color: #444444;"><i><br />
</i></u></div><div style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">So now that all the introductions and disclaimers are made I can start to write about my dreadful and horrible acne experience.</div><div style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">I just turned 21, and it was only last year (by this time) that I had acne, before then I always had perfect skin. I have really sensitive fair skin, any pimple that I would have would show off like crazy because I'm so pale and my skin it's so thin. After I turned 20 years old last year I started having little bumps on my chin that weren't normal, I thought it was because of stress with college and everything so I didn't do anything. By the time December came I was stuck in home for three weeks because I couldn't get out of my house... I had huge acne all over my chin, they were big pimples that were all infected and gross. My family were really preoccupied because it was really bad and they never saw my skin like that, and because I was so fair it was the first thing you would notice on me.<b>I tried everything on the market and every natural remedies I could find, and nothing. It just wouldn't go away.. </b>I failed classes at college because I couldn't go to the exams looking like that. It seems really vain of me but they would be bloody and itchy all the time and I couldn't take it. </div><div style="color: #444444; text-align: left;">I wouldn't go to the doctors because I knew they would prescribe me something harsh for my body and I just didn't want to deal with it. The side effects could be awful and I didn't want to deal with them... so I just waited. By the time February came I still have them but they weren't so bad, but still I was left with scaring that was impossible to hide.<b> I just gave up and made an appointment at a dermatologist at the end of March and it was the best thing I ever done for my skin and me. </b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBg0EOM5xSgYvdZiw7k2hTJGNLXS8G5H7aepXEjsQ5bUhbI7IQIqnUFitc5TMz2d83y2EHxG2jud-bUVrau20odreWM80Ni80nIO0oV4K3kHdR3DcJVgAFeg1KjVxp98zfsrsfrmHxX-go/s1600/Imagem+173.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBg0EOM5xSgYvdZiw7k2hTJGNLXS8G5H7aepXEjsQ5bUhbI7IQIqnUFitc5TMz2d83y2EHxG2jud-bUVrau20odreWM80Ni80nIO0oV4K3kHdR3DcJVgAFeg1KjVxp98zfsrsfrmHxX-go/s400/Imagem+173.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">She prescribe me what I was fearful of.... <b>Accutane</b> which in Portugal has another name but it's the exactly same thing. She said that I had to use two products everyday while taking my medication 3 times a week only in low doses because my acne wasn't that severe at that time already. </div><ol><li style="color: #444444;"><b>Accutane</b></li>
<li><b style="color: #444444;">Uriage Hyséac AHA moisturizer</b> </li>
<li><b style="color: #444444;">Kétrel creme </b></li>
</ol><b><span style="color: #073763;">Accutane-</span></b> (<i style="color: #660000;">Prescription only</i>) This is the strongest medication you can take for acne. And has many possible side effects that aren't so good and a lot of people can't take this. You have to be followed by your doctor while using this, especially in high doses, for me it wasn't necessary because I was only taking them 3 times a week. This will basically dry you out of all the moisture you have on your body. Not kidding. While using this I had dry skin and dry hair. This medication will also peel your skin. My skin started to peel off after the third pill I took. It wasn't super bad but you're going to have to warn the people around you that you're on medication that's why you have skin dripping all over your face ahaha My lips were all chapped and bruised, especially on the corners so use a ton of lips balms and Vaseline on your lips and it will disappear. Also, <u><b>you HAVE to use sun protection</b></u> and cannot exfoliate or wax while on this treatment. I was on Accutane for 4 months and my skin it's clear. Months latter, my skin stopped being dry and now I have combination skin. You have to have a doctor prescription to take this medication so I would recommend you to go to a dermatologist and talk about your problem.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #073763;"><b>Uriage Hyséac AHA moisturizer-</b> </span>I have been using this since April and it's the best moisturizer I have ever used. From the first application you'll see results. Your skin won't be matte and dull, but this will give you a healthy glow while not drying out your skin and killing all the acne. This is the perfect base for make-up. I'm taking a break from it because my skin it's getting used to it unfortunately! You can by this moisturizer and the cleanser at any pharmacy.<br />
<br />
As I said before, I was left with a lot of <u><b>scaring</b></u>. I wish I could show you how bad it was. Even Revlon Colorstay foundation couldn't cover those red scars on my chin. <u>My dermatologist even said that it was pretty bad, and it might never come off... only if I used this next product everyday for 16 weeks. </u><br />
<br />
<b style="color: #073763;">Kétrel Creme-</b> This little creme only costs 2€ at the pharmacy but it was the best thing that happened to me!!!! This was the product that completely vanished my acne scars. And no, it doesn't lighten them, it<b> removes them forever</b>. This creme has a form of retinol on it called <b><u>tretinoin A</u></b> this is the key ingredient that will help you to erase your scars. So even if you don't have this creme, you can talk to your doctor or even in your pharmacy and get a creme with this ingredient. I had to use this every night on my problem area, after the first week your skin will be really raw and irritated but it's normal, after a week it will pass. You just have to stick to it and get through it because the final result will be perfect. I used this <b>EVERY</b> night for 3 months and after the first one they were already almost gone.

<u>I stopped my treatment in July</u> so for two months I didn't exfoliate or waxed any part of my body. Even though I wasn't using the kétrel or medication you have to wait a while so your skin can recuperate and get back to normal.<br />

4. <b style="color: #073763;">Magic Peeling Glove - </b><a href="http://anne-marie-bardot.blogspot.com/2010/11/review-magic-peeling-glove.html"> (I have made a review about this before click here to go there)</a> After you skin gets back to normal, you'll have huge pores still and maybe a pimple here and there, so <b>you need to exfoliate your skin really good to keep the results</b>, and this glove helped me a lot with that, if I have a tiny pimple, I use this two times and there's no scar left, plus it doesn't irritate or dry out my sensitive skin, it's not harsh at all. You can check out my review about it to know more about this glove.<br />
<br />
And that's it! I know how horrible acne can be and how can it destroy someone's self esteem. I went through hell trying to get rid of it with all these cleansers and moisturizers that did nothing! If you have severe acne, you have to know that <u><b>it isn't a simple cleanser that will help you because the problem it's within you.</b></u> Maybe you're stressed, maybe you're not eating right or maybe it's just hormones or genetics! It can be anything, but I advise you to go to the dermatologist because they know what they are talking about and will discuss with you the possible cures. <b>But if you have only some pimples then don't worry, the right cleanser, moisturizer, exfoliator and make-up will do the trick.</b> I still have some pimples here and there, but they are not all red and gross now and they don't leave a mark because I found something that works. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I know that it gets confusing when you walk into a make-up store and see all these bottles of foundations lined up and you have to chose one for you. Some people just try it on their hand to see if the color matches their skin and just buy it. But it's not as simple as that. For me, foundation is as important as a good skin care routine. I don't care if you have the most beautiful eye make-up in the world, if your base it's all blotchy and patchy, your whole look it's ruined. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A lot of people who are starting with make-up don't know the basics to a good foundation, even people who wore make-up for years still don't got it right, so in this post I'm going to try and help all of you that still find foundations confusing. I hope this helps! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><b style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;">Know your Skin Type: </span></b><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">You have to acknowledge your skin type and use the right skin care products for it, so your skin gets balanced. This will make your skin in perfect condition to apply foundation. </span></span></span></span><b>There's different kinds of foundations for every skin type</b> so a person with very oily skin can't use the same as a person with dry skin, it won't work. <br />
<br />
If you have <b style="color: #4c1130;">Normal Skin</b> - You are a lucky person and can get away with most of the various foundations out there. But be smart, if you have normal skin it means that you don't need a lot of coverage because you don't have imperfections to hide, so even a <b>tinted moisturizer</b> would be perfect for you. You can try liquid, powder or mineral foundations, but still, stay away from oil or water based formulas because your skin can get oily throughout the day. <br />
<b>Nars Sheer Glow</b> ($42) would be a great choice for foundation if you have Normal skin, it has coverage but it doesn't make you look oily like many sheer foundations and the coverage it's just perfect. <b>Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse</b> would be a great cheap alternative to the Nars one, it's one of my favorites. The <b>Laura Mercier Mineral Powder</b> foundation it's perfect for Normal skin types because it's not a matte powder, but a dewy one, plus it has a lot of great ingredients that are wonderful for your skin. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRRlnYwpiS00Eeqnm1S4Dt1GzWDVgjFvNw3GPc2K_Z-w7TJJJDFVg9L3dk63jhmQQxdBlORMZkt1PDJProGtyEszkofH57N7UQ55fBJzYfNMjL4z4aXKvhBV8-8iF2lgMNoRMzNWYuXOW/s1600/normal.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRRlnYwpiS00Eeqnm1S4Dt1GzWDVgjFvNw3GPc2K_Z-w7TJJJDFVg9L3dk63jhmQQxdBlORMZkt1PDJProGtyEszkofH57N7UQ55fBJzYfNMjL4z4aXKvhBV8-8iF2lgMNoRMzNWYuXOW/s400/normal.JPG" width="247" /></a></div><br />
If you have <b style="color: #741b47;">Acne prone and Oily Skin</b> - I wouldn't say that you have to stay away from liquid foundations but most of them would not look great on you. A matte oil free liquid foundation would be great to control the oils and cover the acne or scaring. Powder foundations would be perfect as well, but some of them don't have the same level of coverage as the liquid ones, but nothing that a good concealer would not resolve. <br />
<b>Revlon Colorstay</b> it's a staple for people with acne prone skin because it covers and stays put for a lot of hours, for me, it's a must have for anyone with this type of skin, plus it's cheap. The <b>MAC Studio Fix Fluid</b> it's perfect for oily skin as well, it has a matte finish and medium to full coverage. It's best to finish up your foundation with a powder, because it will control the oils throughout the day so<b> MAC Mineralized Skin Finish Natural</b> would be a great choice as well.If you want a powder foundation you can go for the <b>Everyday Mineral</b>s rage or <b>Bare Minerals</b> foundations, they have great choices of colors and types of formulas for oily skin. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgql123PcvFdo-3z-RjjM_-uV-Q13oLyod0Wh-7K_h3SXxxBqDuhxK59WCPjqI9IDFxdJXxh5u6sRX5rrAWbZ20J2w30WUsAc-BDnGZ2DWGzZSOXMlrKJK3UL95_frDyDpiL1gUI8xdA_A6/s1600/oily.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgql123PcvFdo-3z-RjjM_-uV-Q13oLyod0Wh-7K_h3SXxxBqDuhxK59WCPjqI9IDFxdJXxh5u6sRX5rrAWbZ20J2w30WUsAc-BDnGZ2DWGzZSOXMlrKJK3UL95_frDyDpiL1gUI8xdA_A6/s400/oily.JPG" width="317" /></a></div><br />
If you have <b style="color: #4c1130;">Dry Skin</b> - I would stay away from powder foundations, they will make your skin look flacky and they will not give you the moister that you need. If you don't have a lot of imperfection, a tinted moisturizer would be great, it will give you coverage and hydrate your skin at the same time. Cream or gel based foundation would be great on your skin as well, as long as you moderate the amount of it because it can cake up. The <b>Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer</b> can give you a light coverage and a sheen to your skin, so it won't look dull and blotchy. <b>Revlon Colorstay </b>for Dry skin it's a great foundation if you want full coverage, it won't make you look totally matte but won't make you look shiny. <b>Studio Sculpt foundation from MAC</b> it's a gel based formula that is long lasting and can give you a subtle glow, perfect for dry skin. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you have <b style="color: #4c1130;">Combination Skin</b>- I have this type of skin, and the key it's<b> a good moisturizer or primer</b> before the application of the foundation. You can pretty much wear the same type of foundation as a normal skin type, but you need to control your oily/dry parts. I have an oily t-zone, so I have to make sure that I prime my t-zone with a good primer. <b>You have to follow the same rules as the Normal skin types,</b> but don't forget a moisturizer or primer that will balance your skin. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>2- Know Your Skin Undertone:</b></span> This step it's really important as well. <b>Your foundation shade has to match the color of your skin.</b> You have to know your undertone, if you have a<b> yellow, pink or neutral undertone to your skin.</b> There are a lot of ways to find your true undertone, but sometimes it's really hard, especially if you are a neutral, like me. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Other thing is, a lot of people match the foundation to their face skin tone, but a lot of people have a paler face than the rest of their bodies, so<b> I always match my foundations to my body and not my face</b>, so when I apply it it's all blended and natural, you won't know I have foundation on. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When picking a foundation online, you will see in the descriptions of the shade a lot of "light with yellow undertones", "dark with pink undertones" that's why it's important to know your undertones. If you can test the foundation on your skin, then try to match it to your body (like your neck or cleavage).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><u><br />
</u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><u>If you know your skin type and undertone than you can choose the right type of formula and shade for your face.</u> For me, these things is what you really need to know for that perfect base. Foundation it's really important. Anyone has perfect skin, and we need to protect it. I don't think you need to wear foundation everyday, but if you wear foundation it will actually protect your skin from pollution and dirt, you will see what I'm talking about when you remove your make-up at night.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Choosing the right foundation it's not a hard thing that only make-up artist know. <u>In the end of the day, you are the one that has to know your skin, and once you do it, then you can make some smart choices about the make-up it's best for you. </u></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I hope this was helpful to you, these are my opinions, I'm not an expert, but I already had dry skin when I was on accutane, I had oily skin in my teens and now I have combination oily skin so I've been there.

I'm that kind of girl that when I forget to wear my fragrance I feel naked and weird.<br />
I have a lot of perfume, well, not anymore because I'm trying to finish up some fragrances and only have to ones I really enjoy wearing, so I <b>used </b>to have a lot of perfume, because it was fragrances that I bought out of a spare moment, in weeks I would get sick of the smell, plus some of them didn't feel like <b>me</b>. <br />
Some of us prefer sweet scents, others floral, others fruity and floral etc Usually we like the scents that suits us best at some point of our lives or even we wear the same for the rest of them...<br />
<br />
In my teenage years I loved the sweet vanilla perfumes, I wore the infamous <span style="color: #a64d79;">Britney Spears Fantasy</span> throughout my three high school years, then on my two first years at University I wore <span style="color: #a64d79;">Jessica Simpson Fancy </span>everyday and it's a sweet vanilla scent as well. Now I can't stand those two perfumes, and I don't think they represent me at all anymore. Since the beginning of this year I've been loving floral, earthy and musky scents with a hint of sweet notes. At this point of my life, fragrances like that would represent me and my state of mind.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKLf16hO1iBZRQj5M9BKCDdz45arM5kL-0nmMbH8xngTlEezjtLC-JoKzkSvXp7-9V2wJp8K5Opvpw_huqMYmDp9ZY2qD_06-SNeWsgzwx2yXY0wtvA7_ReoXY8RgiUCrgDWu-nVcnV7q0/s1600/Imagem+176.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKLf16hO1iBZRQj5M9BKCDdz45arM5kL-0nmMbH8xngTlEezjtLC-JoKzkSvXp7-9V2wJp8K5Opvpw_huqMYmDp9ZY2qD_06-SNeWsgzwx2yXY0wtvA7_ReoXY8RgiUCrgDWu-nVcnV7q0/s400/Imagem+176.jpg" width="360" /></a></div><br />
Christina Aguilera signature fragrance is the one that suits me best right now. Even the bottle says it all. The first time I used it I felt really good and it kind of gave me luck? :P<br />
My boyfriend and some friends even commented on the scent and how it suits me so well, so when you and other people have the same opinion.... it's a keeper!<br />
<br />
<b style="color: #666666;">Top Notes:</b> Tangerine, fruit sorbet and blackcurrant tea. <br />
<b style="color: #666666;">Heart Notes:</b> Jasmine, peony and plum.<br />
<b style="color: #666666;">Base Notes:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span>Musk, amber and vanilla.<br />
<br />
It's a fruity/floral musky scent with a hint of creamy vanilla as a base note. On my skin when dried down, I definitely feel the amber and the blackcurrant strongly. This fragrance really makes me feel like <b>me</b> (: It's a strong fragrance, nothing that will suit a teen I think, maybe more mature women on their 20's or above! She has other fragrances that are my favorites as well, but this one, is the one that in the last year touched me the most.<br />
<br />
Most people talk down celebrity perfumes, I feel like I identify the most with them because there's a story behind them, and there's a personality that we can relate to it, that's my opinion.You all know I'm a BIG Xtina fan since I was 9, <b>but never thought her scents would suit me so well..</b>. I have this little bottle since last year and I'm trying to save it... It's really hard to get one of these, even online... And with my project pan, I only wear this on especial occasions <i>(Last time I wore it was on my bday October 27th)</i>, I can wait to finish all the perfumes that I'm not so interested in and start wearing my signature ones every day and night!<br />
<br />
So I want to know if you have any signature perfume? Any fragrance that you love and think that it describes you at this moment of your life? Or maybe you're not a fragrance freak like me... either way I want to know!<br />

Just because it's winter, it doesn't mean we can't wear some cute dresses! One thing that I love the most about the fall/winter fashion is the fact that we can dress with neutral or no colors at all! The florals and the super gloomy colors are note necessary and basic clothes are more appropriate for the cooler months!<br />
But that doesn't mean we can mix some styles and choose a warm dark dress, subtable for winter!<br />
Because <b>I have really fair skin and light hair, if I dress all dark, I will look washed out, so I always pair up black with some lighter color.</b> You can't clearly see from the pictures but I'm wearing a black dress with brown tights and a brown jacket. I choose <b>a light pink top</b> underneath the dress so I don't look dead as I already said before.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjBTaZ2VFulRSwIyZ4rF3kvpZCZORkaT_wKXnHJEsoNtzdphNg5XwVBAt2Ofa88dtcYlSYgpIHrYA-ePE9IU_gtNxhOpi66AkhwVegQ7Wibv4B1jXvwJVkgDulYNrP0n2RzwkCF_c9PjxD/s1600/Imagem+108.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjBTaZ2VFulRSwIyZ4rF3kvpZCZORkaT_wKXnHJEsoNtzdphNg5XwVBAt2Ofa88dtcYlSYgpIHrYA-ePE9IU_gtNxhOpi66AkhwVegQ7Wibv4B1jXvwJVkgDulYNrP0n2RzwkCF_c9PjxD/s400/Imagem+108.jpg" width="140" /></a></div>The dress has a bow at the waist, so your figure is more defined and lean, giving you a more proportioned body, I think that this dress would look gorgeous on you if you have an <b>hourglass, apple or banana shape</b> because it's more flowy at the bottom, giving you a fuller and more curvy bottom. The leather jacket I got it for my birthday last month and I can't live without it anymore. It's so warm and the dark brown color suits my skin and all the clothes I got to pair with it, plus, it gives me a bad ass look don't you think? ;) <br />
Oh you can't really see from the pictures, but in terms of jewelry I'm only wearing some black glittery hoops that I adore, and thought it would be perfect with this look!<br />

<li><b>My teeth.</b> I have vampire teeth. My canines are visible from a mile away when I smile, it's crazy. </li>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;">How to use: </span><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">1. Stay under a warm shower for 5 minutes so your skin gets soften. Only use water, not soap because it will reduce the exfoliation action.</span></span></div>
<div>
<div style="color: black;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> 2. Turn off your water, wet and squeeze the glove and start to rub the glove on your wet skin in <b>VERTICAL emotions until you see flakes of skin. Use this at least once a week.</b></span></div>
<div style="color: black;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: black;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">After you use it, clean it with warm water and let it dry for one day. Then you can store it back to it's packaging. This product will last you <b>60 exfoliations</b>, so let's just say you use it 3 times a week it will last you <b>at least</b> 6 months.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #783f04;">My Experience:<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">Before I use <a href="http://magicbodypeeling.com/index.php?affiliate=142">this product</a> I did a research online for reviews, and I didn't find a single bad review, so I was intrigued and knew I had to try this glove. It did everything it promised on me. I wasn't expecting it to be so exfoliating and gentle at the same time. I have sensitive and really fair skin and it didn't hurt like all the other scrubs that I used before and gave me the best results I have ever had. I have been using this once a week for quite some time now and I'll never ever buy another scrub in my life. I'm going to tell you my results in my face and body.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: black;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Face:</b> I never had acne when I was a teen, but a year a go I had major break outs on my chin, it was really bad because my whole chin area was full of big infected pimples that wouldn't go away. When they did go away, I had acne scaring. AWFUL acne scaring on my really fair skin. I went to the dermatologist and she prescribe me some harsh medication to treat the scars and the acne. My skin was left really thin and sensitive with all those treatments. I had just a little bit of scaring left that was barely noticeable, but I had huge pores still and some dark spots on my nose. Not anymore. I used <a href="http://magicbodypeeling.com/index.php?affiliate=142">this product</a> one time, and I had no huge pores or scaring left on my skin. I still have redness around my nose but I think it's something that will always be there, but no more icky stuff on my face. My skin was smooth and flawless after the shower. And the results lasted me a long time, but because I exfoliate once a week, the flawless skin is always there. I will be brave and post a picture of me without ANY make-up so you can see how it left the skin on my face and judge for yourself.</span></div>

<div style="color: black; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Body:</b> I have had stretch marks since I was 13 years old. I have them on my bottom and it goes up to my hips. I have tried every cream on the market and found one that I liked, but after two uses of <a href="http://magicbodypeeling.com/index.php?affiliate=142">this glove</a> the zebra things are almost invisible! If you too have them, I say you should try this <a href="http://magicbodypeeling.com/index.php?affiliate=142">glove</a>, I don't think you'll be disappointed!</span></div>
<div style="color: black; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">After I left and the shower and started to apply my moisturizer and I was in shock (I haven't still seen the skin on my face at this point) my skin was really smooth and it looked airbrushed! My legs looked perfect!!! And it made my skin absorb the moisturizers so much faster! Especially the more creamy and heavy ones! I always though I had baby skin, but after this, I know I didn't! <b>Also, you know those red bump some people have on the back of their arms? I had them, now they are gone! </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="color: black;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I really wasn't expecting such great results, and I wish people knew more about this fantastic product!If you have really dry skin than you need this product like you need clothes!!! I used to buy so many exfoliating products, and now I have one for my face and body that will last me almost a year!</span></div>

Yesterday I did a post on sweethazzard.com about body shapes and jeans. I did my research and I gave my personal input to what I think would look best for different body types. I liked the post so much that I thought I would post it here as well!! I know many people still don't know how to find the best jeans for their body and I think that it is something very important. <br />
The<a href="http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/"> JS Collection</a> <i>(Y'all know I love me some Jessica Simpson right?:P)</i> just launched a new denim line so I thought I would give you examples with some jeans from their line. <span style="color: #cc0000;"><u style="color: black;">No, I'm not being sponsored by them or anything</u>.</span> I tried their jeans and I loved the fit and their quality... While writing what I thought was best for any shape I realized that she had the perfect pair of jeans for any body type.<br />

</u><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">The Apple Shape -</span> </b>Broad shoulders and narrower hips, usually women who have this shape have a big bust, smaller bottom and shapely legs.</div>With this shape, you want to draw attention to your best features which are your bust and legs. You want to elongate your legs with a Boot Cut jean that will give you a long and lean look. Low and medium rise are the best for this body shape, don't go too high on your waist or it will loose the effect and make your proportions unbalanced. Pockets are a must to an apple shape figure because it will give an illusion of a fuller bottom. <br />
From the JS Collection I choose the<span style="color: #3366ff;"> </span><a href="http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/JEANSWEAR/Fashion-Bottoms/PAPARAZZI-INSIGNIA-BOOTCUT.html"><u style="color: #3366ff;">Paparazzi Insignia Boot Cut jeans</u></a><span style="color: #3366ff;"> </span>which are low rise with a flattered leg. Because it has a lighter wash through the leg it will accentuate your legs perfectly, giving you more shape and definition. The black detailing on the bottom packets are the cherry on top for a more curvy and balanced look.<br />
The<a href="http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/JEANSWEAR/Denim/SUNSET-BOOT-CUT.html"> <u><span style="color: #3366ff;">Sunset Boot cut Jeans</span></u></a> are a great choice for the apple shape figure as well. They are low rise and because of the cut and wash, they have an elongating effect on the legs. The back pockets are accentuated so your bottom will look bigger, just want you want as an apple shape figure.<br />
<b>Celebrities like Jessica Simpson, Angelina Jolie and Catherine Zeta-Jones have an Apple shaped figure.</b><br />

<b style="color: #f1c232;">The Banana Shape</b><span style="color: #f1c232;"> –</span> Shoulders and hips have the same measures with a little waist definition. Flatt bottom and bust and thin legs. It can be called the straight or sports shape.<br />
<b style="font-weight: normal;">Flared, skinny and Boot cut jeans are the best for this body shape, because they will hug your bottom adding curves and definition.</b> If you have a small waist, low rise jeans are really flattering, but if you have a more long waist, choose a higher rise. Light jeans or even jeans with a lighter wash that fades along the thighs are the best to make them look fuller. With this shape, any type of bold details and pockets are essential to make you look curvier, so play with it.<br />
<b style="font-weight: normal;">I think that if you have this shape skinny jeans are always a must! From the JS Collection I choose the <a href="http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/JEANSWEAR/Denim/FOREVER-SKINNY-JEANS.html" style="color: #0b5394;">Forever Skinny jeans</a><span style="background-color: #3d85c6; color: #0b5394;"></span>, with a flattering light wash and simple detailing, perfect for thin or fitted legs. <a href="http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/JEANSWEAR/Fashion-Bottoms/INGENUE-ANKLE-ZIP-SKINNY.html" style="color: #0b5394;">The Ingenue Ankle Zip Skinny jeans</a> are perfect for the banana body type. These gray washed jeans with a lighter wash going through the leg are stylish and bold for a more edgy look. The zipper only adds more detailing to the look which is always great for this shape.</b><br />
<b>Celebrities like </b><b>Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Bosworth and Kate Hudson have a banana shaped figure.</b><br />

<b style="color: #351c75;"><i> </i><b>The Hourglass Shap</b>e –</b> Bust and hips are almost the same size and waist is narrow. From all the body shapes, this is the more balanced.<b><b> </b></b>For this figure, the best jeans are the ones that will draw attention to your waist which is the smallest part of your body, so you want to emphasize it. Boot cut jeans with a stretch denim are perfect for this body shape.<b><b> </b></b>Because this figure is already balanced you can go with almost every design of jeans out there, but you have to be careful and always play up your curves, so straight cut jeans are not the best. Also, if you are a bigger hourglass shape don’t go for skinny jeans and low rise jeans it will make you look bigger. If you are more of a slim shape skinny jeans or jeggings are a really good pick.<br />
From the JS Collection I choose the <a href="http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/JEANSWEAR/Fashion-Bottoms/CELEBRITY-PEARL-HEART-BOOT-CUT.html" style="color: #0b5394;">Celebrity pearl hear boot cut jeans</a>, they are low rise and really figure flattering. The detailing on the back pockets are perfect to show up your curves. The darker wash color is best for more fuller figures. The<span style="color: #0b5394;"> </span><a href="http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/JEANSWEAR/Denim/KISS-ME-JEGGINGS.html" style="color: #0b5394;">Kiss me Jeggings</a> are just perfect for this body shape, they have a stretch denim that will hug your body where you need the most while showing your beautiful curves. The leg is super skinny so it will look best in a slim hourglass shape.<br />
<b>Celebrities like Scarlett Johanson, Kelly Brook and Kim Kardashian have an hourglass shaped figure. </b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk1FCEHEWijfCvpLDpo_4TarVenJ3AeYzicyh9QNfSXuLU-l1yQFzryUSy2MkngjL42zbQlkcvEniwKwiGVk_keLEtfXuJN1bEwI0s9zla0iroMqvSqRWVedm33ydMFMf9Upf73nxAZv-s/s1600/pear.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="367" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk1FCEHEWijfCvpLDpo_4TarVenJ3AeYzicyh9QNfSXuLU-l1yQFzryUSy2MkngjL42zbQlkcvEniwKwiGVk_keLEtfXuJN1bEwI0s9zla0iroMqvSqRWVedm33ydMFMf9Upf73nxAZv-s/s400/pear.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="color: #6aa84f;"><br />
</div><b style="color: #6aa84f;">The Pear Shape</b><span style="color: #6aa84f;"> –</span> Hips measurements are bigger than the bust. Women with this type of body usually have a small bust and narrow shoulders but bigger hips and thighs.<br />
<b style="font-weight: normal;">The best jeans for this body type are the ones that will balance the ratio hips/bust so a dark wash boot cut jeans or a flared leg cut would be the best choice. Remember to always choose a dark wash and avoid any detailing on the bottom or the leg, because it will make your bottom and thighs look bigger. Medium rise jeans would be the best for this figure, or a fitted low rise. High rise jeans will be best if you have a bigger tummy because it will conceal it.</b><br />
<b style="font-weight: normal;">I choose the <a href="http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/JEANSWEAR/Denim/VINTAGE-FLARE-JEANS.html"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Vintage Flare Jeans</span> </a>from the JS Collection in the darker wash, it has a flattering cut that will shape your legs and they don’t have much detailing which is what you want if you’re this shape. The <a href="http://www.jessicasimpsoncollection.com/JEANSWEAR/Fashion-Bottoms/HOLLYWOOD-BOOTCUT-JEANS.html" style="color: #0b5394;">Hollywood Boot cut jeans</a> are especially good for this body shape because it’s very figure flattering. The dark color it’s a must for any pear shape and the classic boot cut it’s just perfect. Even though it has detailing in the back pockets, they are dark and you can barely see them , that’s why these jeans are so perfect for any pear shape!</b><br />
<b>Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Clarkson and Alicia Keys have pear shaped figures<i>. </i></b><br />
<br />
So these were my picks for every shape from the <b style="font-weight: normal;">JS Collection. As you can see, the boot cut jeans are the most flattering for every shape, and they have a lot to choose from. Other stores that have really nice jeans are Bershka, Zara, H&M, Salsa, Miss Sixty, Replay etc you can always go to your favorite store and buy the ones that fit you best. <b>Remember to always shop with conscience of your body shape. Balanced proportions is always what we are looking for.</b></b><b>Work your jeans with a flattering sweater or top… remember to not wear a denim top if your wearing denim jeans and vice versa.</b><br />

My Lush order finally came, and I have to say that I'm really happy with my purchases! But before I start the haul let me introduce Lush to the people who don't know that company (If you are a Lush junkie like me you can skip this). <span style="color: #a64d79;"><b> </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b style="color: #b45f06;">Lush Cosmetics</b><span style="color: #444444;"> is a handmade cosmetic company which sells bath, body, hair and face products. Most of the products are vegan or vegetarian without harsh chemicals. Their packaging is recycled and environmental friendly that's why they are so simple, but the ingredients in the products are the best you can find. They support various causes and ethical campaigns.</span><b><span style="color: #444444;"> I've been ordering from Lush for almost two years now and it has became one of my favorite things to buy since the begging.If you want to know more you can check out</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lush_%28company%29" style="color: #444444;"> wiki</a><span style="color: #444444;">!</span></b></span><br />
<br />
This is not my first post about Lush but I never really written an introduction before, and not everyone knows this company since they not have stores worldwide. Now onto the haul!<br />

<b> R&B Finishing Hair Moisturizer-</b> <i>"Enjoy some smooth R&B stylings. The tropical butters and candelilla wax will help to moisturise and control frizzy, flyaway hair, but this works to soothe dry scalps, too, with calming oat milk. And once you smell the orange blossom, your hair will well and truly get its groove back." </i>Lush says that this is awesome for black or curly hair. I have blonde straight hair but my hair is really dry at the ends, and this have the best ingredients to make my hair soft and smooth. This products can be used in three ways: As a hair treatment, has a finishing cream or as a scalp treatment. I tried this in a sample before and the smell it's gorgeous and my hair did feel smooth.<br />

<b>The Blonde Solid Shampoo - </b><i>"Chamomile lightens hair with a natural dye; it wont turn you blonde but it will lift blonde hair, especially in combination with lemon juice and marigold flowers. It gets its name from a famous food critic's name for his wife: the blonde."</i> I have use this shampoo before and it didn't lightened my hair, maybe because my hair is already blonde :P But it did brighten it! It's very drying so I'll have to use a good conditioner with it. To use a solid shampoo you have to rub this into your wet hair and make a lather out of it, this one makes a lot of lather and cleans the hair well, love the chamomile scent. It's being discontinued so if you like it, go stock up! <i></i><br />

<b>Sugar Plum Fairy sugar scrub -</b> <i>"Our newest scrubber was inspired by the Tchaikovsky ballet. When Helen was inventing, she thought that plum kernel oil would work a treat because it moisturises the skin and makes it feel silky smooth and adds an almondy scent to the product.We've used Fairtrade British sugar to scrub away rough skin in winter, which will make your body soft as a baby's. The fairy scrub has the same fragrance as the popular Fairy Jasmine and Christmas Carol Bath Ballistics from yesteryear, with a fruity, marzipan twist."</i> This was the only Christmas product that I bought this year. I Love sugar scrub but I thought I would make a pause and try this one. I LOVE the scent! It's so sweet, and the pink angel it's too cute! <i>Can't wait to try it (:</i><br />

They inhale, drool, pick up a big chunk and join the queue for the till. It's hard not to buzz about this one.The irresistible toffee and honey. Once you've sniffed it, you've got to have it. On paper, it's difficult to portray the full effect of this honeycomb and toffee-scented soap." </i>I'm always buying this best seller soap, it has one of the most sweet and wonderful scents that I ever sniffed :P This time it came with a honey come that is too cute! The scent of honey and toffee is the best combination for me and I'm always with this soap in my nose!! The only thing is that I wish it lather more and the scent lingered in my skin...<br />

I bought another tin to put my Blonde Shampoo in it, because the shampoo it's so creamy that it can be a mess. I asked for two samples : <a href="http://lush.co.uk/products/skincare/cleansers/angels-on-bare-skin_149.html">Angels on Bare Skin</a> and <a href="http://lush.co.uk/products/skincare/moisturiser/gorgeous_191.html">Gorgeous moisturizer</a>. I tried Angels on Bare skin today and my skin looks lovely! It cleaned it so well! I tried Gorgeous too and it was okay. I'll do a review about it once I finish my sample.<br />

I'm going to be pretty honest. I usually don't like drugstore hair care items. They are full of bad chemicals that dry out my hair and make it more damaged. <br />
Last week, I ran out of shampoo and I didn't have time to order Redken, so I ran out to the drugstore and picked these out... And I have to say that I'm<b style="color: #741b47;"> really </b>impressed. <br />
I have tried the Aqua light spray before, and it become one of my HG items, that's why I choose to pick these up! Now into the review...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #0b5394;">Pantene Aqua Light Shampoo: </b> This shampoo dissolves into your hair like water. It has a really creamy lather though and it's not drying. It's light just like they promise but it cleans your hair just right and it doesn't weight it down. I think if you have really thin straight hair just like mine, you'll love this shampoo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz4tK-Be-tfXC1GdBJ89PcZoCqLorFgQ4toZkgST75PjAlvGxoi6CvwmsHSVbCyc1cR_qdg2ZOPQTHlbDQWEZjfqfJ9sTKExLtU4fRygjA9zgHmyH-oi-IK8XonANeDKGdnc4pE426oi8z/s1600/Imagem+007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz4tK-Be-tfXC1GdBJ89PcZoCqLorFgQ4toZkgST75PjAlvGxoi6CvwmsHSVbCyc1cR_qdg2ZOPQTHlbDQWEZjfqfJ9sTKExLtU4fRygjA9zgHmyH-oi-IK8XonANeDKGdnc4pE426oi8z/s400/Imagem+007.jpg" width="172" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Pantene Aqua Light Conditioner:</span></b> Just like the shampoo, this conditioner dissolves into your hair making it soft and smooth. You don't need to use a lot of it because the shampoo already makes your hair soft and light, this is just the cherry on top. My hair looks shiny and soft with these two products. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnixfhyQPXmUZBGiIIwAB1MxebD3iZC7vqy9mAafGVgBLbgWw7y2DdRoQcnP3it6JhA51tiuNw_-dVOSQhNYLP_XBoBF-EeN9qh0OhSJDLhGj4AFDdD3abV3r4bISu5sPsfa96HluKk0gt/s1600/Imagem+009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnixfhyQPXmUZBGiIIwAB1MxebD3iZC7vqy9mAafGVgBLbgWw7y2DdRoQcnP3it6JhA51tiuNw_-dVOSQhNYLP_XBoBF-EeN9qh0OhSJDLhGj4AFDdD3abV3r4bISu5sPsfa96HluKk0gt/s400/Imagem+009.jpg" width="146" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #0b5394;">Pantene Aqua Light nutritive Spray:</b> This is my favorite product of this range. I bought this over a month ago on it's won because it had sparkles on it ahaha The best thing about this product is that you can spray it while your hair is dry or wet. I do it both ways, but especially when it's already dry. You just have to shake it and then spray it! This will make your hair much more soft and detangle all your hair without it looking greasy or wet. It has a wonderful light/marine scent that I would love to have it as a perfume :p I have one of these in my room and other always in my bag to spray my hair whenever it feels like a hint of moister. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Overall, I think that if you have thin to normal hair texture this will be wonderful for you. Even if you hair damaged or colored hair this is heaven. My hair feels softer and shiny than ever and I'm really happy with these 3 items. I can tell you if it works for thick or curly hair, but I don't think so, I think you'll need a much more heaver and creamy formula. I hope this was helpful to you, any questions or tips feel free to tell me (:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Hi ladies! I'm in Love with these two kits, so I thought I would share with you my experience with them! I'm sorry for the quality of the swatches, but I haven't figure out how to take good pictures of them... It's always blurry and washed out... a real mess!<br />
I'm going to do a little review to every products on these kits, and I'll try not to ramble that much on them (: <br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">If you are a fan of concealer or if you have been curious about Benefit concealers but just don't want to spend all that money and then be disappointed, I think you should buy this kit! (Mine looks all messy. I had this for quiet a while now...)<br />

It hides all the imperfections perfectly... break outs, bruises, redness etc. It doesn't cake up or goes too oily on me. I put on my dark eye circles too, but it isn't that great for that to be honest. It's creamy but not heavy, and a little goes a long way. It comes in two shades in this kit 01 and 02. </li>
<li><b style="color: #741b47;">Eye-Bright</b> - The full size product it's a pencil. It supposed to brighten up the eye are. I use this over my concealer and foundation and it really brights up my eyes and makes them look wide awake. I really like this product, and I'll be repurchasing it!</li>
<li><b style="color: #741b47;">Lemon aid</b> - I don't have much to say about this product. It's a concealer for your eyelids basically. It's supposed to hide the redness and it can be applied as a shadow base... For me it creases, so I don't use it that much.</li>
<li> <b style="color: #741b47;">Erase Paste</b> - I wish this came in a lighter color because I really like this product. It's a thicker concealer than boi-ing, but if you put just a little it will erase all your nasty dark-circles away (: The shade available in this kit it's 02-medium and it wayy to dark for me.. that's why I don't use it as much as I want: </li>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> 5. <b style="color: #741b47;">That Gal primer</b> - I think a lot of people don't understand the purpose of this primer. This isn't supposed to make your foundation last longer, it's purpose it's to make your skin look more radiant and to help the foundation application smoother. It can be applied before or after foundation or it can be mixed with it. I always use this mixed with MAC Studio Sculpt, because it makes the foundation a lot better looking. But I like applying with before foundation as well. It's just another product that I'll be buying forever as well! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">This kit has become my favorite kit or make-up of all time!! I could only live with this kit make-up wise (and some foundation) and I would be happy! I wanted to show you more swatches, but my camera wasn't picking up any colors and was not focusing... But I gotta tell you that I don't regret any single dollar I spent on this kit!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><ol><li><b style="color: #741b47;">Coralista Blush </b>- Since I got this kit, I've only been wearing one blush... this one. I thought it wouldn't look that good on me because it's a peachy-coral color, and usually only light pink blushes look most natural on me, but this one it's just a must! You can build it up as much as you want without looking too over powering and even if you just put a little on your cheeks it will give you the most natural yet sexy flush. Love it!!!</li>
<li>(left to right) <b style="color: #741b47;">Passion pearl, Peachy sheen, Terracotta satin, Steamy copper, Deep bronze</b> - I never used eye shadows before... I never thought it would look really that great on me, and on an everyday basis I think it's too much to wear. But this colors are just lovely. They are a little shimmery but not too much.. and even when I only use one, the effect it's gorgeous! Also, they last all they without any primer!!! I wish I could show you some swatches, but my camera didn't pick up these beautiful colors. I'll try to show you some looks with them later though! My favorite colors without a doubt it's steamy copper and deep bronze! I love wearing deep bronze as a liner and steamy copper as an all over the lid color, gorgeous!</li>
<li><b style="color: #741b47;">Badgal Lash</b> (Black) - The hype over this mascara it's true. Best mascara I've ever tried. It doesn't smudge or clump. You'll have longer and fuller lashes in no time! Definitely will buy the full size one!</li>
<li><b style="color: #741b47;">Lipgloss "Life on the A list"</b> - This was the first time I used a Benefit lipgloss and I was impressed! It has a yummy taste and lasts a long time without drying your lips! It has shimmer to it and a subtle pink-peachy color. I really like it!</li>
<li><b style="color: #741b47;">HighBeam </b>- This is a highlighter with iridescent pink undertones, perfect for highlighting the cheeks and the nose!</li>
<li><b style="color: #741b47;">MoonBeam </b>- Similar to the previous one but instead it has gold undertones, I think I like this best, but the two are just gorgeous!</li>
<li><b style="color: #741b47;">Fluffy and angled brush </b>- I used them with the eye shadows and I love it!!</li>
</ol>So this was my review of these two kits. I'm sorry there's no swatches, but as I said before my camera sucks sometimes :P<br />
I think that these are must have kits. Especially the second one. It's my favorite! I wish it wasn't limited edition because it would be something I would be always buying! <b>Because Christmas is coming up, they're having a promo going one where if you order "Her Name was Glowla" you'll have free shipping!</b> I have the link on top of my blog if you want to use the promo (: <br />

It's no surprise for anyone that my greatest role model since my early teens it's Brigitte Bardot... and she's French.. off-course.<br />
I had three years of French classes in middle school, and I don't remember anything, that's why I'm starting to learn the language by myself.. I have to buy more books and dictionaries of the French language, and I have to have more time to study it.. It will take sometime, but I'm sure I'll do it.<br />
<br />
I love the French culture.. the women are just gorgeous and full of charm...I own a lot of books about France and Brigitte Bardot... But I wanted to go deeper and find some books that would be fun and light to read and at the same time full of secrets and facts about the French.<br />
<br />
So I decided to buy this book by <b>Jamie Cat Callan</b> And I loved it!<br />
I wasn't planning on making a post about it, my blog is mainly about beauty and fashion, but this book was so fun and inspired me so much that I wanted to share with you girls how cute this book is! And beauty it's not only about clothes and make-up, it's about brains and feeling great about ourselves, and this book teaches you that!<br />
<br />

<br />
The whole inspiration behind this book it's the author's French grandmother. She always was a mystery to her and the French women were too. After her grandmother died, Jamie Cat Callan decided to go to France and interview French women and men, to go deeper into French culture and to reveal French women beauty secrets. <br />
This book could be called a "dating book" but for me it's not. I've been in a relationship for almost 4 years so I don't think I need dating advice, I think it's for every women who wants to feel more comfortable in her own skin as well.<br />
I think that when you love yourself and respect yourself for who you are, your boyfriend/Husband or even friends and family begin to love you even more, because our outlook in life change completely. and I think that this book helped me a little bit more with that. <br />
I'm going to try and share with you my favorite parts of the book instead of resuming the whole thing (: And I hope you too get inspired as much as I did... Even though I'll recommend you all to read this book!<br />
<br />
<div style="color: #741b47;">She show us how French women always feel beautiful on their own skin, and that's why they are so beautiful and charming: </div><br />
<i>- " Here's the truth: French women are no more beautiful than we are. They just think they are. (...) As simples as it sounds, it's the same paradigm when it comes to beauty. If you believe you are beautiful, you take better care of yourself. You become more conscious, you dress better, you spend money on yourself. You feel worthy of all these attentions. You actually wear less make-up, because you can see yourself. It all begins with a small change, Perhaps emphasize those fabulous long lashes with some mascara. Add a little lip-gloss. Skip the blush and the blue eyeshadow. Remember moderation is the key." </i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">Some fashion tips from French women, how they can be sexy yet classy without being trashy: </span><br />
<br />
<i>-" She dresses well, even sexy, but won't overdo it. She chooses one part of her body to show off - Perhaps her legs. So, she'll wear a short skirt with boots, paired with an oversized sweater. Or she'll show a little cleavage, but wear a long skirt. She wants to get attention but the right kind of attention."</i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">The importance of being smart:</span><i> </i><br />
<br />
<i>-"The French believe that being smart is sexy. They don't hide their brains the way we often do in America. The French just don't fall for the "dumb blonde" thing. Their blondes are both brainy and beautiful. (...) French women see intellectual rigor almost as important as their beauty regime. It's not enough to look seductive; you have to be cultured as well."</i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">The eyeglasses thing which I found really funny because I made a<a href="http://anne-marie-bardot.blogspot.com/2010/09/lets-talk-about-glasses.html" style="color: #990000;"> <b>post</b></a> about it to: </span><i><br />
</i><br />
<i>-"In France, there are so many women wearing eyeglasses. You would think there was a terrible shortage on contact lenses. But no. French women like to wear glasses. It makes them look smart, but it also makes them look interesting. And yes, mysterious."</i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;">Another fashion tips which I found really helpful: </span><i> </i><br />
<br />
<i>-"Basically, you are simply using the power of theater and costume to create a mood. France is a theatrical culture. Subtlety is the key here, because if you allude to a fantasy, character, or era too literally, the game is up. Rather it must be done with great care. The idea is to start with a very basic pallet: good lingerie, simples (mostly solid colored) skirts, jeans, dresses, pants, and tops. Then, add accessories (scarves, jewelery,jackets, belts, boots and shoes) that will create a focal point and reveal your individuality. "</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
There's a lot more in this book, it has recipes for delicious French foods, how to prepare dinner parties, the importance of lingerie and secret gardens!! It's a really light read as I told you before, I read the whole book in less than two days because I was so excited and I loved it so much.. It even has a list of books and movies to read and watch! It's a really helpful and fun book to read that I recommend to any woman (:<br />
