SKINCARE JOURNEY PART 2 : GO NATURAL

Hi Parfait beauties, this post has been a long time coming. I previously talked about my cleansers and moisturizer in Part 1 of this post. (In case you missed it click Here) I got quite a bit of emails asking me about the journey so far and other natural remedies I talked about and my beauties, today is the day I will unleash the results lol.

NEW PRODUCT PURCHASE : Muapro.

Hello parfait beauties, feels like I haven't been here in forever and I hate feeling this way so I am making a serious effort to give 85 percent of my attention to this blog :)
Okay, onto the business of the day. I have been on the hunt for a new foundation as I am tired of all my other ones and for some funny reason, my skin doesn't quite agree with any of my foundations anymore.
Another thing I realized is that of recent my skin has been loving cream foundations and whenever I wear anything remotely oil-free, my skin revolts....talk about old age lol. So until I understand why, I have been reaching for my mac full coverage foundation and its been holding up.

SKINCARE JOURNEY part 1: SIMPLIFY

Hello parfait beauties. Ever heard that saying “makeup is only as good as the skin it’s on?” I recently had a conversation with myself about this. I have never really had any issues with my skin (except the minor breakouts once in a while) until November last year. Talk about ISSUES, I had it all, terrible acne, large pores, flakiness, oiliness, dryness, virtually everything you could think of happened to me at once. No matter how much I tried to perfect my makeup, it wasn’t happening.

Being a professional beauty therapist, you would think I would have the answers right? Wrong. I was at that point, I didn’t know what to do. I switched foundations thinking that would solve the problem, nothing. I studied and adjusted my diet, nothing. I didn’t bother with my skincare products because as long as I could remember they have served me well and then it occurred to me…SIMPLIFY.

Lemons and Yellow

Hiiiii people (Big grin) So anyone that know me well knows I am obsessed with the colour yellow. I love yellow dresses. Infact I have this yellow top that I have worn to death, I'm sure my neighbors think that's the only top I own lol.
So the other day I went to see the movie Avengers; Age of ultron (standing ovation) with my gorgeous friend Lovelyn and I wore as you would have guessed by now, a long yellow dress. Usually I am quite neutral when it comes to makeup on myself when going out but I decided to try something a bit more fun and colourful. So if you have extra time to spare, here is a picture tutorial below

PRODUCT REVIEW : Clinique Soft Matte Lipstick.

Hi Parfait beauties. Okay let me jump right into it. The first time I saw this lipstick my exact thought was "Does Ruby Woo have a Rival?" Everybody I know has a Mac ruby woo lipstick, its so popular that some people actually think ruby woo is a brand lol.
I for one love ruby woo because its such a gorgeous rich red matte lipstick that speak volumes but I am not a fan of the way it sucks the very life out of my lips and how it cracks or should I say falls apart after a few hours of wear.

Gothic/RiRi Inspired Pictorial.

Hello Parfait princesses and queens, so the gist is that I planned to do a valentine inspired look but couldn't due to last minute work issues but then again, there were loads of pretty valentine's day inspired makeup posts so crisis averted lol.

So today's post is inspired by a recent picture of Rihanna that practically took over instagram. The picture I saw was apparently altered (her lippie was enhanced) but never the less it was a stunning look. 

 

PRODUCT REVIEW : BM PRO Long lasting Lipgloss in CHAI

 Hello beauties. Thank God its Friday. Who is turning up this weekend? Who wants to invite me? (big smile) For as long as I can remember I have been a massive fan of dark lippies. Burgundy, plum, brown, black, indigo, you name it...I love it. There is something sultry about dark lips, very seductive, mysterious, confident, do I really need to keep explaining at this point lol.
