Skincare Routine

/ Analucascardigos / 14 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

One of the best keys to beautiful skin is a cleansing routine that is gentle, thorough and relaxing.

  1. Apply the cleanser with your fingertips, beginning at the center of your face and working upwards and outwards. Massage the cleanser in with your fingertips to soften any congested areas in the skin. this relaxes the pores for further treatment and helps boost circulation. Rise off excess cleanser.
  2. Soak cotton -wool pads in cool water, and then douse them in eye makeup remover. Lay one over each eye, wait for a few seconds, then rub a pads with your fingertips to loosen the eye makeup. Vigorous rubbing or pulling of the delicate skin around the eyes will eventually cause the skin to loose elasticity and sag. Remove and gently wipe under the eyes to remove the facial traces of makeup.
  3. Using cotton -wool pads soaked in warm water and alcohol – free toner, sweep the rest of the face to remove the cleanser. Gently splash with cool water to stimulate the skin before applying mask.
  4. Apply the face mask, Taking care to avoid the eye and lip areas. Don’t forget your neck which must be included in each and every step of the cleansing routine.
  5. Remove the mask gently with the wet face cloth. Using clean cotton- wool pads soaked in warm water to remove any remaining traces. Splash face and finish off with your moisturizer.

The basics 

Cleansers; Makeup removers;  Moisturizers 

Beyond the Basis 

Masks; Exfoliators; Eye creams; Serums 

 

As you know, there is no good makeup without good skin. Makeup should enhance your natural beauty, not mask it. Taking responsibility for your skin, means getting into a proper regime and looking after it correctly each and every day.

Victoria’s secret satin lip crayon review 

/ Analucascardigos / 16 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Victoria’s Secret have beautiful lipsticks & lip gloss,  when I go to the Victoria Secret store I’ve to look for lip products, I love them , I picked three shades from this range and today, I am going share my views ….

These are gorgeous, creamy, lip crayons which are so easy to carry in your handbag. I have been loving these lip products. The shades have full pigmentation and smooth, creamy texture. You get good coverage in a single swipe, and the colour stays on the lips for a while….

These are great to have in your lip collection.

OK, let’s get to the swatches. I’m genuinely happy how amazing these lip colours : the formula are rich and pigmented, gives me a good feeling of moisturized lips….

Have you tried Victoria’s Secret lip products ?

Thanks 😉

My Vanity tour

/ Analucascardigos / 25 Comments

Hi everyone, Welcome back

 

Now it’s time for my Makeup Vanity Tour! My vanity is from Ikea, the organizers are from Amazon, Ebay and Ikea ….

I loved this table, not just because the clean, minimal shape, but because of that long, shallow drawer, which holds all the goodies…

Organizing anything means categorize, Makeup brushes should live with other makeup brushes, lotions, potions and creams have their own drawer or designated spot, etc… you get the point. When you categorize, you know where everything is ….

The way I organized my vanity works very well  ….

In these acrylic organizer I keep some of my lipsticks….

Here is where I keep my foundations & some of the primers and BB creams I use everyday.

A lipstick holder 😉 with some of my favourite lipsticks ….

I made the brush holders by combining two rectangular glass vases from IKEA.

How do you store your makeup?

Thanks 😉

/ Analucascardigos / 6 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Miracle glow Lightweight cleansing oil dissolve makeup in an instant!

Cleansing oils have been getting more popular and I see more brands doing it. I use cleansing oils in my evening skin care routine to take off my makeup, and I have been using Miracle glow Lightweight cleansing oil for a month and I love it …. removes my makeup very well ….

Formulated with Babassu, green coffee  and passion fruit seed oil which work to maintain skin’s moisture barrier and balance skin’s natural oil production.

  • Lightweight, non-greasy cleansing oil
  • suitable for all skin types

To use, simply add a few drops and apply to dry face, next massage the product into the skin to break down makeup, next add water to transform the oil into a  cream. After, remove with a damp cotton pad or wash off the product with clean, warm water.

This oil has been working out great for me and my skin. I’m really happy with the results of this product.
