How to remove your make-up properly?

Removing make-up before you sleep is a must for every woman. What will happen if we don't remove our make-up properly? It will clog your face pores and causes white heads and blackheads to occur.

Steps:
1) If i am wearing mascara on that day, i will use a eye make-up remover to remove my mascara.
2) I will use my favourite make-up remover (Fancl Cleansing Oil). Massage my face using the cleansing oil with dry hand. Wet my hands and massage the oil until it emulsifies(Oil will be white and milky).
3)Wash it off.
4)Apply your daily cleanser and wash it off again.
5) Apply Toner
6) Moisturises

** I am using Chamomile Eye Make-up remover from The Body Shop and Fancl Cleansing Oil(MUST BUY REMOVER)

Different Ways of reducing your dark eye circles


Dark unsightly eye circles can be very irritating to most women. It can make us look haggard and ugly. In some worse cases, some look like "drug addict". I am glad i don't really have that serious problem. I couldn't imagine a fair person like me with that two dark patches below my eyes would seriously make me look like a panda. Haha.

These are some of the ways that may help:

1) Slice Cucumber or Raw Pototoes and leave it on your eyes for 15-20 mins.

2) Apply some Almond Paste under your eyes for 15 mins.

3) Always put 2 metal spoons in the fridge and have it as great rescuer. Leave it on your eyes for 10 mins. (It is quite effective for puffy eyes)

4) Vitamin E Oil. Apply Vitamin E oil and massage gently on your eyes every morning and night. ( Please note that the application amount should not be more than a tear drop).

5) Take a used chamomile tea bag( if not, any tea bag will do) and leave it for 10 mins.

Beside the above ways, most importantly you should also:

1) have enough sleep

2) Adopt healthier eating habits

3) Drink more water so that your body can detox as some dark eye circles are contributed due to body toxins.

4) Remove your eye make-up especially mascara and eyeliner properly. If you don't do it properly, it will also causes the eye areas to darken.

5) Avoid Sun tanning. Some people thought that sun tanning will help to camoflage the dark eye circles but that is wrong. Instead of helping, it worsen the dark circles.

6) Massage the eye area gently with a good eye cream so that there are proper blood circulation.

My Favourite Perfume




Are you that kind of person who cannot live without perfume? I am one of them. Before i go out, i will definitely spray perfume. I have more than 10 different kinds of perfume at home such as Calvin Klein, Kenzo, Christian Dior, Burberrys and many more... I simply can't live without perfume. If i forgot to spray perfume, i would feel uneasy the whole day as i think spraying perfume is one of my habit.

Number 1 Favourite:
Calvin Klein Euphoria Blossom (MUST TRY)

(Light and Sweet, it is widely accepted by most of the people especially men love the scent)


Number 2 Favourite:
Kenzo Flower
(Light, Crispy and Flowery scent, Great for summer days)

Number 3 Favourite:
Perfume Brit By Burberrys
(Fresh, Feminine and abit sweet)

My perference of scent is light and refreshing. However whenever i go clubbing, i will use Gucci Rush (Very Strong and feminine scent) because of the smoke and alcohol in the club, it definitely can mask those smell. Perfume is also a great idea as a birthday present or christmas present. I wouldn't mine having a new fragrance as a gift. So have you bought your christmas present? Why not try perfume if you run out of ideas.
