#MakeupReview: M•A•C Tenderling

Review: M•A•C Tenderling

So, I bought this a month or so back… I had also purchased the Mineralize Blush in Gentle.

I really, really wanted to like Tenderling, however, it is not working out for me… I am not sure if this happens to you – it appears that the blush is oxidizing… at first I thought it was the brush… I changed it and continued to use it and still the same thing… what a bummer! As you know… anything MAC does not come at a bargain and I am really disappointed that it has turned out to be a lemon… so to speak… on the right is the Tenderling & you can see what I mean – I did clean it up a bit for aesthetic purposes…

The mineral blush, on the other hand, is a success! =)  I really like it a lot!

I have another review to do very soon as I just picked up some other goodies that I need to share!

Hello beauties! Merry Christmas!

Hello dears!

Merry Christmas to you!  I cannot believe that the New Year is already upon us!  Sooo much to do! So much I wish to accomplish in this coming year!  I know have been away for so long - so many things happened - experiencing loss took a lot of my time and energy... not being able to focus on what I really wanted to work on - feeling like a boat without direction...  Now, that is all over - or, I guess I should say - I am moving slowly, however, surely towards my beauty goals for 2012 =0)

I pray you experienced a blessed time with your loved ones during this beautiful Christmas season!

I am working on uploading my videos - I have had an awful time w my editing software - looking to update it... I WILL have some videos posted within the next week! For sure! =)

May you have a wonderfully, beautiful day!

Eyebrows and coffee...

Ugh! So despise this growth phase in an effort to reclaim my once glorious eyebrows...

Now showing: ugly thick strands protruding as they fight their way to lay flat again :/

Why, oh Why, did I thread them??? To be progressive - that's why... hehehe

Anyways, at least I will always have my coffee - that soothes me whilst I shade in the once full areas...

Have a beauty filled day, my friends!

Achieve Glorious Skin by Quitting These…

Achieve Glorious Skin by Quitting These…

-          Stop Smoking:

o   Smoking causes premature aging… smoking asphyxiates the skin – leaving you with a sallow, gray appearance…

-          Stop Skimping on Your Beauty Sleep:

o   Lack of sleep or rest shows up on your skin – circles under your eyes, tired and  / or wrinkled looking appearance.  Without adequate sleep, your body cannot restore and repair itself.  Not only might you live longer, your skin will look much better, too!

-          Biggest Offender:::

o   Picking and or Scratching your face… this is a big No, No… this leads to scarring and or craters in your lovely face… Please, please do not Pick!

-          Going to Sleep with Makeup On:

o   Cleansing will be sure to remove waste excreted throughout the day and any germs and bacteria your face may have come in contact with.  I will admit that I have fallen asleep once or twice with makeup on (Oh, I felt bad).  It did not harm me, thank God!  However, for some it only takes one time to mess up and provoke acne, besides waking up with your eyelashes stuck together J

-          Forgoing Sunscreen:

o   For me, this is No. 1 before any makeup touches my face.  I use a Moisturizer with SPF 30 already in it – so, it goes on lightly.  I know using an SPF directly will sometimes give you the ‘white’ look and I like to stay away from that.  The sun’s rays are so damaging and not only do you leave yourself open to skin cancer, you also leave it open to the attacks of free radicals… (they damage and age skin)

-          Excessive Exfoliation:

o   It is a common misconception that you need to exfoliate every time you wash your face.  On the contrary, too much exfoliation might actually lead to dry, irritated skin.  While regular exfoliation is necessary to reveal, alive, glowing skin – it is probably recommended to limit it to a few times a week.  The goal should be to keep your skin moisturized.

 

Just some food for thought…


Happy skin is moist skin J
