Facial Products

Hey guys:)

I am going to be sharing the facial products i use for my face and i would highly recommend these products to all the ladies out there,they are tots awesome!!.

First of all I know a lot of Africans out there use a lot of African products on their face which really isnt good as it contains harsh and strong chemicals such as hydroquoinne; that been said I am NOT saying you should not use these products but all the same I am going to tell you about some a few products that's excellent for all skin types and you won't regret it.

To have or to get that perfect flawless Face here are a few tips:

First of all cut down on oily food most especially nuts,they are sooo bad for your face, because most people tend to break out  and then they squirt the spot or pimples which then leaves a scar.

Secondly try and avoid wearing foundation frequently as these block/closes your pores,i wear a lot of makeup but not everyday.That been said you have to use the right foundation for your face products such as mac,Revlon, inglot are excellent for the face,I would advise anyone using marykay foundation to desist from it as its quite oily and very very bad for your skin regardless.

Thirdly get microdermabrasion done at least once a month from a good beauty spa around you,This helps a lot as they dead skin cells from your face are completely peeled off from your face leaving your face feeling smooth like a baby bum!!

So here are the Lists of  products i use well mostly everyday for my face and am sure it would help you too...

1. Clearasil daily clear vitamins and extracts scrub
2. Olay essentials refreshing toner
3. Palmers Cocoa Butter formula with vitamin E daily Cleansing Gel
4. Neutrogena transparent facial Bar.







                                       Clearasil daily clear vitamins and extracts scrub

I use this scrub once a week preferably Sundays this scrub acts as an exfoliator as well and it removes the dead skin cells from the skin which prevents bacteria from feeding on causing spots and acne's.  Exfoliators has some tiny beads so be careful when you are massaging this on your face so you don't scar your face unnecessarily that's why I only use  it once a week or twice depending on your skin type as well but not more than thrice a week regardless of whats written on the product.This product helps to maintain clear skin,using a balance of effectiveness cleansing and kind to the skin,it contains vitamin E and Avocado extracts known for their skin nourishing properties,pomegranate fruit extracts which is an anti oxidant known to help and keep skin healthy.I purchased this product in a pharmacy.This scrub is perfect for all skin types








                                             OLAY Essentials Refreshing Toner

Ever since i started wearing makeup frequently this summer,i started using this toner and so far so good it has been awesome i use it daily both in the morning before i apply my makeup and before i go to bed at night.This toner is alcohol free and contains extracts of cucumber and aloe which lifts away the traces of dirt of makeup which revitalizes the skin without drying. After applying the toner on my face with cotton wool I rarely moisturize my face especially at nights because it leaves my face matte,I have an oily skin and when i wake up in the morning my face still matte after using this product.I purchased this product at Boots.This Toner is perfect for both normal/dry and combination skin types.








                       Palmers Cocoa Butter formula with vitamin E daily Cleansing Gel

This is my all time favorite facial product,this cleansing gel removes dirt and oil especially from my make up and it tones and clarifies my skin.I use this everyday....its absolutely amazing.....its also good for people with sensitive skin and it contains aloe Vera, pep-tides and vitamin E.....This foaming gel lifts away dirt and Makeup without leaving the skin feeling dry tight or stripped.Its suitable for all skin types and i highly recommend this product,it very good for those who wear makeup on a daily basis as it eradicates all traces of makeup leaving your face feeling soft and smooth.I purchased it in a pharmacy.









                                              Neutrogena Transparent Facial Bar.


This is another highly recommended product that is perfect for neutralizing spot and pimples and also fades scars away from the face.I Started using this product in January and i can boldly say I SAW results....I tend to have the odd spot once in a while and pimples and i hate it when i have a scar on my face because i like to go as natural as i can; during the college period i hardly wear makeup to school so i like my face to be looking spotless, Neutrogena does the job I use this daily as well especially in the mornings, I use it as nights as well but not every night.There are two types of this bar soap the ones for normal/oily skin and another for dry skin so you can choose your preference.I purchased this at Boots.

I leave you with a quote to meditate on

Top 3 Spring/Summer foundations

Hi guys,

Welcome back to my blog

I am going to be blogging about my summer favorites foundation today, Although i use quite a lot of foundation of different brands such as Mac, Iman, bhcosmetics, Maybelline,Revlon color stay, Dream matte mouse,Mary Kay Black Opal and Inglot creme foundation.These brands are fabulous and they all have their different features in which individuals build their own personal opinions on .Personally there are still many brands i want to try out especially black up Paris.

That been said, i have chosen my top three foundation that i am going to be using a lot this Summer.
1. BH cosmetics
2. Revlon color stay
3.  IMAN Luxury Radiance liquid Foundation

These products are totally awesome as they both have pro's and Cons.


Bhcosmetics Liquid Foundation 


This foundation line was launched online(www.bhcosmetics.com) in December 2012 and it was on offer for $4.50 dollars for 0.85oz, so i ordered four shades as i was skeptical about it and the shades as well so i took a risk and  purchased the ones that was near my skin tone in the medium to dark shades.Although i ordered Deep beige,Mocha,Hazelnut,Deep Cocoa.These four shades matches my skin tone but since the beginning of summer have been finding myself using deep cocoa and deep beige which is D3 and D4.

This makeup is so subtle and gives medium to full coverage depending on how much you use.I mix D3 and D4 together using one pump each and i constantly find myself not using concealers anymore with this particular foundation which is excellent.







Pros

 It has a Pump nozzle
Glides on smoothly with  foundation brush,stapling brush,powder brush and makeup Sponges
Long lasting wear all through the day
Matte-Finish

Cons

Contains no SPF
Has a parfume scent to it which i personally dislike.
Its in a glass bottle so once it drops onto a hard floor,it could break.



Revlon Color Stay Foundation


I purchased this foundation in March because it was recommended by a friend,she told me how good the product was so i ordered two of these foundation on eBay in Caramel and Cappuccino as my skin tone is in between these two colors .Its 1.0oz/30ml per bottle and i paid 18 euros for both which was a good value for my money compared to how much it was in actual beauty supply stores. I tried on these foundation, as i like to test out my foundation before deciding to wear them in the long run in case i react to them such as breaking out or getting rashes from them.My first try out with these product made me fall in Love with it.Its a Medium coverage foundation but once covered with powder you get a full coverage depending on how to apply your makeup.I Mix the two shades together each time i want to use it.This product is quite versatile as you could have it as an everyday foundation or get the bold look.I find this product particularly useful in the summer because it has SPF in it which protects my face from the sun and its available both for normal/dry skin or combination/oily skin. I have an oily skin so therefore this makeup is quite perfect for me.










Pros

SPF 12
Lasts up to 24 hours
Flawless look,lightweight feel
Option of picking out the foundation to suit your skin type(normal,oily,combination)

Cons

Has no pump
Quite Runny

IMAN Luxury Radiance Liquid makeup.


This foundation was also recommended by a friend and she sent it to me from America alongside two different types of pressed powders in my exact skin tone.I got the foundation in shade EARTH1. it is also 1.0oz/30ml.Available to purchase on the link below.
 (http://www.imancosmetics.com/shop/products/face/liquid-makeup.

I was intrigued by this makeup because i have seen it on people and i was intrigued by the flawless finish it gives and I was absolutely spot on. IMAN is one if the best make up product i have ever used.It is a full coverage foundation that has a touch of shimmer in it which is perfect for the summer as it gives me that radiant glow that instantly lights up my face. its enriched with minerals that good for your skin,but the problem i encountered is that as soon as i tested this foundation out,i started to break out the second day.Any time i use this foundation and the powder i tend to break out but i still try to use it occasionally because the end results once applied on is excellent,as it appears that you have a high definition finish!







Pros

High definition finish
Glides on smoothly onto the face
Its for Women of Color
Tones and texturise the skin
Lightweight and oil free

Cons

I break out the next day after using this foundation
Contains no SPF

These are my favorites foundations I will be using mostly this summer.
