Nars

I dreamt of this last night !!! So Nars Super Orgasm, what are you tryna say? This is super tempting.

NARS amps up their legendary NARS Orgasm to bring you Super Orgasm - the universally flattering shimmering peachy pink blush with an extra dose of golden sparkle. The super sexy pink flush gives the effect of an ultimate super,uh hum, afterglow.

Nars Super Orgasm is a sheer-pressed powder blush with golden speckles.Take note : Golden speckles. That explain why it's different from the normal Nars Orgasm.

What & how to use : The blush contains a universally flattering peachy-pink undertone and can be worn alone or layered together for more depth.

Reviewers are all giving 4.5 out of 5.There are few here and there that gave 2 out of 5 due to the Golden Sparkle. It seems that these Sparkles can be all over the face, hair, dress or even their partner's face. I'm still comtemplating on buying Orgasm or Super Orgasm.

Contour & Highlight

You've seen the celebrities and wonder why they look so good. It's all about using a contour and highlight technique. I wonder why didn't mommy taught me this step when i was young. It helps my face to look brighter and slimmer!

After watching several youtube videos and reading about it online, i should try it too but not now. I'm not in the mood to do so especially with a broken ankle. What's more, i hardly put on my eyeliner on my face when i'm out with love or family. Maybe when i'm able to stand up without any support or cast, definitely i'm excited to try! One out of the many reasons why my ankle should recover faster! Oh, did i mention that love doesn't like me applying makeup? He love my face to be bare with only eyeliner. He hates lipstick and lipgloss. That's not fair :(

Contouring you face with cosmetics will give the illusion of a perfect, symmetrical face. There are many ways to contour your face; you can use foundations or powders and bronzers. Foundations will give the best and natural effect. However, using powders and bronzers will be easier. If you have an oval face, you really do not need to contour your face unless you want to add depth.

One simple look and exmple

Using Foundation
Tools you will need: 3 shades of foundation (your true shade, one shade lighter and one shade darker, sponges and foundation brush, powder.

Using Powders
Tools you will need: Your true shade foundation and powder, one shade lighter powder, and a bronzer. Make sure your bronzer has no shimmer to it. If you do not have a bronzer, you can use a powder two shades darker.

Application Steps
Contour and Highlight

1. Wash your face and apply your skin care system. You want to have smooth, soft skin.

2. After your skin care is dry, apply your makeup primer and let it dry for a few seconds.

3. Apply your cream concealer that is 2 shades lighter than your foundation to the bridge of your nose (very thin line) to the middle of your forehead, and the middle of your chin.

4. Apply your cream concealer that is 1 shade lighter than your foundation to your under eye area.

5. Apply your dark contour (powder or cream) to your outside temples, under your cheekbones, under your chin and jaw and both sides of your nose as close to the light concealer line as you can get.

6. Apply your Foundation. Pat it on with your fingers or foundation brush, then blend. Take a sponge and blot off any extra and blend if needed.

7. Apply a yellow based loose face powder to set your concealer and foundation. If you have dry or aging skin, just set your concealer and leave other areas of your face alone.

To take note : Not everyone needs to contour- if you feel that your cheekbones are prominent or that your face is thin, it is best not to contour as you may appear too “chiseled”. It takes practice getting the contour technique down as each face is different, so don’t give up!

If you're to ask me what would i use for Contour & Highlight,i would strongly recommend NYX Highlight & Contour Set.

After all,i'm a Nyx fan.

Glowing skin

Since my secondary days,i have this pale tan-yellow skin.There's no glow at my face and i'm tired of using products which doesn't work at all.I've spent more than my teddy bear savings for these useless products and i finally realise it is time to be traditional.It's not about choosing the right skin-care products anymore but it is about a lifestyle that gets my skin to glow from within.

A Healthy Diet.
A healthy, glowing skin is a product of what we put into our bodies.Eat right,more veggies and fruits.Dark green vegetables and orange fruit are the best because they are high in nutrients and fibre.8 glasses of water per day hydrates your skin.

Regular Exercise.
Regular workouts help the skin by increasing circulation, improving delivery of nutrients to the skin cells and removal of potentially damaging toxins.Regular exercise can reduce acne breakouts, by controlling the production of testosterone-related hormones. They also concur that it keeps wrinkles away by creating the conditions for making collagen. For those who don’t know, collagen production supports the fibres that keep wrinkles away.I should start exercising from tomorrow onwards.

Know Your Skin's Enemies.
Pollution, stress, smoking, overexposure to sun, and dieting, all have disastrous effects on the skin's appearance. To protect your skin from pollution, wear a foundation.You can reduce stress through exercise, meditation and yogaAlso,monitor the time you spend in the sun and avoid dieting and smoking.

Get Proper Rest
Getting 8 hours of sleep per night definitely helps to improve the texture and the luminosity of our skin. During the night, the skin is restored from the harmful effects of daily stress. When we do not get the required sleep, our skin suffers. This is especially noticeable in the fragile skin under the eyes.The under-eye area is almost 50 per cent thinner than the skin on the face. Sleepless nights leave behind fine lines, dark circles or puffy bags.I have them now -insertsadfacehere-Although cosmetic treatments can soften the effects of sleep deprivation, prevention is still the best cure.Eye treatments are limited in their ability because they cannot reverse the stress that lack of sleep causes to the skin.I need to start sleeping at 11pm daily.

So healthy and radiant complexion is possible with the right amount of care and dedication!!!
