Protect yourself from the sun and have fun! (5 must have items for this summer)

It's summer again! The heat could be really annoying sometimes especially if you're wearing make-up. It could be irritating especially if it's hot and you're sweaty. So for today, I'm going suggest some items for a more comfy summer!

1. CC Creams

I would mostly recommend a CC cream since it is very light on the face and also provides protection from the sun and nourishes your skin.

The thing about CC creams is that it corrects your skin, covers blemished and because of it's lightness, you won't feel irritated even if you are sweaty and also, residues won't be removed even if you wipe your face a thousand times, just be sure to just dab it not fully wipe your face, okay?

2. Sunscreens

Sunscreens are very important, it doesn't only prevent your skin from getting darker it also protects your skin from the rays that may cause harm on your face. There are tinted sunscreens are now on the market and I really think it's a great product to try.

3. Soothing Gels

Soothing Gels are best for summer getaway, of course after a long swim under the sun this is a really good product to help your face cool off. This product is available on some make-up outlets and drugstores.

4. Warm and Vibrant Lipsticks

This is not a skin care product we know but it's a must have! Your lipstick defines your mood so it's better to choose the right shade. This years trend is strong, vibrant and colorful. So just to have that summer vibe, lipsticks that are shocking and red and warm are perfect. Imagine wearing that with your sexy swimwear!

5. Retouching Powder

Find a face or loose powder to give you a fresh retouch. Of course, when we're on the heat either it's a party, an event, getaway, or travel, you must always retouch of course, remove the oiliness, wipe your sweat and retouch!

So there you go! It doesn't matter what brand as long as you have these items, you're ready for summer! For sure you will be going out with your friends and family so it's better to be prepared, protect yourself from the sun and have fun! :D

Another thing, always wash your face before you go to sleep, with all the sweat, there will be more dirt on your face so always wash up, alright?

If you have any requests, suggestions or reactions, please don't hesitate to leave a comment below :D

5 Reasons Wearing Make-up is not a crime

I've been seeing a lot of posts lately that some people prefer being bare-faced because boys won't be shocked to see them without make-up on. Come on people! Putting on make up is not bad, if you know how to properly do it.

I personally like putting on make-up not because I think I'm ugly, no! Excuse me, haha! Kidding aside, I like making myself look better. I don't put make up on to impress guys, if I did I would have never allowed my partner to see me bare-faced. He loves me with or without make-up and he supports me because this is what I love to do.

So here are the 5 reasons why ladies like to put their make-up on so stop crying and bragging about how you don't put make-up everyday because you have that natural beauty.

1. It helps you feel good about yourself

When you put your make-up on, it can actually boosts your confidence because seeing yourself beautiful will somehow trigger that part of your brain that says, oh yeah, I look pretty and somehow boosts your confidence.

I feel like sometimes a person is not beautiful because of what we see on the outside but feeling great and beautiful about yourself can actually change the aura of a person which make them even more beautiful.

2. Enhances the beauty that already exists

Of course, that's the thing about make-up, it enhances your look hehe (just kidding) Well, for us girls not all of us are born looking overly beautiful when we wake-up. so what do we do? We put on our make-up! yes!

Like for instance, there are so many people asking if I'm sick, if I'm okay or what, calm down guys, I'm perfectly fine I'm just naturally pale. Cosmetics are very helpful.

If you have a really huge house, would you like it plain? No, right? You want to beautify it because you love it. You don't want it dull or boring, you enhance it's look. Well, you get my point.

Celebrities, even with a natural beauty, still wears make-up.

3.It's a plus point
I am really a fan of ladies who do their make-up so well! Like, dang girl! You fine! I love it. It's art. Not everyone can do that, it's a gift and it takes practice to master it. Putting on foundation, drawing your eyebrows, contouring your face, do you think it's easy? It's not! It's a talent and not everyone was gifted with magic hands.

4. Leaves an impression
When you know how to carry yourself and present yourself, you'll leave a good first impression of course, attitude matters, even if you wear make-up, if you're attitude ain't good well, you just wasted an awful lot of cosmetics. If you wear make-up it doesn't matter if people will be shocked without it. We deal with several people everyday, it's not everyday you are gonna spend the night with someone and show yourself without make-up.

They would say, be simple and be yourself. Yes that's true. Doesn't mean you cover your face with make-up, you are fake. Some people don't wear make-up but they have that fake attitude, that's being fake, alright?

5. Protects your face
Some make-ups, especially organics one leaves protection on your face. It's important to leave the house with full protection. Some powder, and some products may harm your skin so it's better to use the right products. Some has vitamins and SPF that protects your face from the sun. Better start protecting your face! :D

So there you go, I really love it when my friends come to me for make-up or skin care advice it makes me feel somehow useful, I'm still not a professional though but we'll get there.

If you wanna learn simple tricks to properly use make-up let me know, I'll be more than happy to teach you :D

Here, I would also like to share some of my favorite everyday looks:

What Really Makes a Girl Beautiful

What really makes a girl beautiful? Is it because of the way she dress? The way she puts on her make-up or the way guys turn their heads when they pass?

Today I'm going to talk about what really makes a girl beautiful, I believe every girl is more than just a pretty face, we have our individual uniqueness and that's what makes a girl stand out and shine.

You may not walk the runway and look perfectly pretty but you are very beautiful in so many ways. You can shine without having to walk the runway.

I have listed five reasons below or factors of what I think makes a girl shine. :)

1. Flaws

How very ironic, isn't it? Our flaws make us unique. We are all hiding our own weirdness and imperfections and for me, girls who are different and weird are the most beautiful you just have to set your mind that yes I am weird, I am different, but this is what makes me special, it's what makes me beautiful.

As Tyra Banks says, "perfect is boring" be weird! Be creative, be unique, be you.

2. Talent

Don't get me wrong, some might think hey I don't have any talent at all. Yes, singing, dancing, and etc those are the major talents and I admit I'm easily mesmerized by talented girls. The talent that I'm talking about here is how you make people smile with your quirky jokes, how you manage to take care of your children while working, how you work under pressure, how you make everyone smile despite of your own struggle.

Well, you get the point, know where you're good at, enhance it, make it grow. Maybe you're good at giving advice, maybe you're good at taking care of your friends, I don't know but whatever it is, you go and enhance that talent!

3. Simplicity

A girl is beautiful in her simplest form, That doesn't mean going around malls bare-faced, there are some gifted that even without make-up, they glow, however, not every female have that gift, let's be realistic here. But cosmetics are not there because you're ugly, it just enhances the beauty in you that already exists. That's just what I love to do, I want to enhance my face but at the end of the day, I'm not ashamed to show the real me.

It's how you show your truest and simplest self. No pretensions, no plasticity, just pure you. When you don't go with the crowd whether on your music choice, clothing choice ( i love girls who only wears t-shirt and jeans yet the still look absolutely stunning)

I've had friends whom I never really liked their attitude in the beginning but when I started to get to know a them, and love them, I appreciated why they acted that way and I loved them even more for showing their true self.

4. Heart

As our current Ms. Universe, Pia Wurtzbach says "I am confidentally beautiful with a heart" it really matters, our hearts. You don't wanna be known for just a pretty face right? Yes, it is flattering but I love it when people compliments me because of what I do, because of my heart.

That's how you truly know that you are beautiful, the standards of this world is to have a small tummy, huge breasts, big ass or white skin or whatever but for me, it is the heart, when a girl has a huge heart, I see them as the most beautiful girl in the world.

5. Passion

When a girl is passionate about something whether it's about make-up, pageants, shoes, books, volunteering, making a difference in our nation, serving the community, serving God, dancing or whatever. Don't you love it when you see a woman does her passion? It's like seeing them in their most beautiful form, when she does what she loves. When girls are passionate about their relationship, you'll know, they bloom, when a mother, despite of how stressful it is, says that taking care of her children is the most precious thing, they stand out. When a girl makes a huge influence, dang! She really is beautiful.

Know your passion and allow that passion to beautify you.
