Welcome to my blog!

The purpose of my blog is to communicate with those who share similar interests. I love all things cosmetic. I consider myself a beginner and by no means am I an expert or professional. I plan on doing reviews, hauls, tutorials, contests, and giveaways.

How to Beat the Heat


Summer Tips: 
Although we all look forward to summer, the rising temperatures and high humidity can take a toll on our makeup. The heat presents many challenges when it comes to looking and feeling your best so here are a few tips:
  • Prime your face to help keep your makeup in place                                                                        (this is especially important in the summer) 
  • Wear a setting spray to keep your makeup looking fresh, to set your makeup, and to help your last throughout the day
  • Consider trading in your foundation for a tinted moisture with SPF
       (but if you use a foundation use one with SPF)
    • Set your foundation or tinted moisturizer or any liquid makeup with a translucent powder
    • Use a waterproof mascara
    • Apply a waterproof base under powder eyeshadow
    Other Helpful Tips: 
    • wash your hair after swimming/use a leave-in conditioner
    • stay hydrated (drink plenty of water) 
    • wear sunblock/sunscreen
    • wear sunglasses 
    During periods of extreme heat + heat advisories
    • Limit outdoor activities, avoid strenuous activity, and avoid exercise outdoors
    • If possible stay inside during the "heat if the day" between 12pm-4pm
    • Watch out for signs of heat exhaustion (confusion, nausea, light-headedness, etc.)  
    Hope this tips will prove helpful throughout the summer. Enjoy and H.A.G.S! (have a great summer)
