Cotton swabs to wipe out makeup mistakes

q-tips

Before I share this tip on using cotton swabs that I picked up from Taiwanese celebrity stylist Kevin, I’ll like to thank everyone of you who left me a comment in my last entry. My apologies for not being to answer to everyone individually but I like all of you to know that I appreciate all your kind words, encouraging comments and goodwill . I feel a lot better knowing that all of you share similar thoughts that beauty knows no boundaries and reaffirm what I thought earlier – age is irrelevant and imperfections are acceptable.   I am not a beauty guru or expert but I feel happy sharing all my findings and excitement when it comes to the topic on beauty.  So blog on I shall!

Review: Zuii Organic Floral Makeup Range

I was so happy to receive these from Zuii Organic recently for review. I was running out of my usual foundation and was thinking hard about what to get next when this came in my mail box. And by gosh, they’re truly gorgeous. I say this not because I’ve gotten them free. I say this because this organic, natural cosmetic range has truly performed well for my skin.

Is mineral makeup too drying?

Mineral Makeup Ingredients

Some time ago, a friend mentioned to me that her aesthetician told her that mineral makeup is too drying for our skin. I was pretty curious and I wanted to know why but I could not establish the reasons immediately. Then recently, when I started using my UV Natural Sunscreen, I noticed that my skin feels somewhat drier after a few hours and I got curious. Is it because of the 24.8% Zinc Oxide?  If that is the case, could it be the cause for mineral makeup to be too drying as well then?
