Free Bronzer---literally!

Does bronzer always make you look orange? Then try the natural way of getting tan by going out in the sun! Just dont forget to wear sunscreen and let it dry for approximately 15 minutes before stepping out. 


Step 1. Wear sunscreen.
Step 2. Step out into the sun. 
Step 3. Take a walk,bike around or just lay there for ten minutes.


Now you can skip bronzer and just use blush during your daily makeup routine!


Note : Exposure to UV rays from the sun may cause skin cancer.

Things you Can't Do to your Face when you Have Botox by Megan Fox

To dispel the rumors about Megan Fox getting botox on her face,she recently posted last Thursday July 7,an album titled in caps "THINGS YOU CAN'T DO WHEN YOU HAVE BOTOX"

Last year,she already said in an interview with Allure Magazine "My lips are my lips, I would encourage anyone to first speak with a therapist, to try and figure out where this want comes from, because a lot of times it's not related to your teeth or your nose or your chin -- the surgery is not going to alleviate that insecurity for you." Yep. That could be true.

It was a very brave move for Megan Fox,considering that whether she aims to escape from these old-age rumors that she had something done,the haters just won't buy it. And despite over seventy-thousand people who liked the album,men doesn't obviously seem to care regarding that issue. Comments were ranging from "Megan you're so sexy and hot" to insecurity-bashing "Still looks botoxed." and even "What about the collagen-filled lips?".

In my opinion,I am a big fan of Megan but to think that people actually invented Photoshop,I doubt if the picture is legit. At some angles,she may actually really look botoxed due to her flawless face,but then again,to think that people actually invented make-up,her oh-so perfect skin without any eyebags must be a result of a really great anti-fine-lines-and-wrinkles concealer and foundation.

What are your thoughts? 

Runway LOTW inspired by Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Perfume

 

This runway look of the week was inspired by Dolce and Gabbana's Light Blue Perfume! How come I was inspired by a perfume? I don't even know! 

I love the over-all effect of this look. The lips were almost like M.A.C. Viva Glam Gaga 2. The brows were kept brown and of course I had to focus on the eyes. It's light blue eyeliner on the lower lid,and an opaque white on the waterline. The lashes were separated & combed by a very black volumizing mascara. Enjoy! ;)

My HG Powder Foundation Brush --- Estee Lauder Powder Foundation Brush

I was fortunate enough to be given an invite and attend a recent Estee Lauder event here where I live. I was there before the organizers. Shamefully too early but still looking calm and excited before the event,I went to their counter to be the first to try on their newly launched Pure Color Lipstick. And so so,but that is really not the main topic here,ladies!

So,while I was there I sat at their vanity and tried on their blush in Nude Nuance with the blush brush,AND THEN,I picked up this dome-shaped-kabuki-looking brush to blend the blush on my cheeks. AND OH MY GOD! I have met the softest,densest,big enough powder foundation brush more than any other powder foundation brush I've met in my life --- whether it's quite expensive or cheap! Seriously. So I quickly asked the price to the lady who's attending to my needs. It's sold for 42 american dollars . To my dismay,it's really expensive for a powder foundation brush. I was expecting the price would be really high though,since it's Estee Lauder,a high-end and great-quality brand. But Vain Victoria is not giving up! I might have to skip lunch in two months straight to get it. 

No way. Just kidding. ;)

The Thing I Hate the Most When Watching Tutorials on Youtube!

 Britney Spears - I Wanna Go Makeup 

 

I personally love watching beauty tutorials on Youtube. To count,I have watched over a thousand videos about makeup,hair tutorials and even beauty product hauls and reviews! Its great that almost every guru I watch speaks the universal language or at least puts subtitles,making it easy for me to understand. But if all of the makeup tutorials in Youtube are like the one embedded here,it would be really hard for all of us and the guru herself. Not that the video's quality or the speaker isn't great. It's the damn language that needs to be translated pronto! It's equals buying a designer bag on ebay,but the descriptions are in French and you cant speak French. Much more like eating at a Chinese restaurant,and you cant read that noodle soup's name on the menu.

Im pretty sure what she's saying could be valuable. She might be sharing her tips and techniques during the video. If that's true,I want a translator or at least an automatic subtitle on Youtube! How smart can Youtube get in the next three years? Hmm-hmm. 

Here's another video I liked. But I sill need a translator. Sobs*

Speaking of the video,if you ladies don't know who she is,her name is Camila. She's a beauty guru and goes under the name MakeUpByCamila on Youtube. From hearing her accent,I think she's espanol or maybe brazilian? Im not sure. The only thing I dont doubt is that MakeUpByCamila is one pretty great hot Youtube makeup artist. I think that's the second thing I hate about watching Makeup Tutorials---she's pretty! Haha we're girl-crushing! ;)

Beauty Blender --- what's your take?

Everybody has their own beauty problems,right? Whether its getting streaks from your foundation brush or not being able to put concealer unto small areas on your face. Here's the part where Beauty Blender,well, "blends" in. It's basically a fat round sponge almost like a ball but with a pointed tip. It was created without edges to help eliminate fine lines and wrinkles,claims Rea Ann Silva & Veronica Lorenz ( known for getting Hollywood's Alicia Silverstone and Sarah Michelle Gellar's makeup done).



It made me curious cause I have seen this cute little sponge over the internet a lot of times---on You Tube,on the kits of makeup artists I've worked with and some random places. The effect I've seen after one artist was done using it was great. The model's skin looked unbelievably natural like her own skin but better,gorgeous and it looked airbrushed. It's a perfect alternative with the stippling brush and the kabuki brush. Way of application is the same,but the results aren't.

One sponge costs $19.95---ouch on our wallets! But if you buy two for $25.95 or one-two sponges plus a cleanser for $34-39.95,it will actually save you more bucks. But I don't really need a sponge cleanser. I have my eye on the Double the Sponge set for $25.95 at Cherry Culture. It's like getting the second sponge for only $4 compared with buying two single ones for almost twenty American dollars each! Plus,you get a free Cherry Culture Bubble Gum Lip Treatment on every order. Sounds fun.isn't it?
