Hi Beauties! Today I was playing with makeup looks and created the Natural Pink. The looks is not all pink as it does include purple and gold. Sorry, I don't have any photos due to poor quality. Please note that you don't have to use the exact products I do.

  1. Use the Forever Diamonds Lipstick in Fabbio from Mirenesse to the lips.
  2. Apply Benefit's That Gal to the face.
  3. Using a concealer brush (Revlon Travel Brush Set) , pat on Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer or any other concealer to imperfections.
  4. With a foundation brush (NP Set Foundation Brush), apply Covergirl Trublend Foundation in shade 405 Ivory to the whole face.
  5. Brush on Maybelline Fit Me! Powder in 115 to the face using a Kabuki Brush (Victoria's Secret Brush with Sexy)
  6. Take Hard Candy's Fox in a Box in Smooth Talker. Using the brush, pack all the colours on the brush and sweep it above the cheek bone and up to the temple, making a C.
  7. With a blush brush (Sportsgirl Brush with Fame), apply Dandelion by Benefit to the apples of your cheek.
  8. Get Too Faced's Shadow Insurance and put it all over the lid to the brow bone.

  13. Blend the eye shadows using a blending brush (Sephora Professionnel Blending Eye brush).

Tutorial: Achieve Fresh Hair

This is my first tutorial and it is about achieving fresh hair in five minutes without water!
The first thing I do is brush my hair briefly. So I just quickly brush it not going into each section. Then I grab a Batiste Dry Shampoo and spray it all over my hair. I generally lift up sections of hair to spray the next section. After that I wait and let it sit for a couple of minutes. During this time I do other things such as applying make up and what not. Once my hair has sat for a couple of minutes, I then brush it out just like I normally would. Voila! That is it! My hair feels so clean and fluffy after this!
There are a few products and tips I want to tell you. First of all I either use Batiste Dry Shampoo in Fresh or Batiste Coloured Dry Shampoo in Brunette. There is nothing wrong with the other scents. I just prefer these. The Coloured Dry Shampoo is different. Dry Shampoo can leave white powder excess in your hair. But the Coloured Dry Shampoo actually leaves brown or black (whatever colour you choose) in your hair, so it camouflages and is not noticeable. I actually have never had white powder excess in my hair but I like to switch between the two. Also if you are travelling or on the go Batiste have an on-the-go size which you can throw in your purse!
