Skin Tone Correctors: DIY

So we've all heard about it right? Skin tone correctors, but what are they, and are they worth investing in? Read on to find out the benefits and a cool DIY trick

Correctors are a creamy product that evens out unwanted dark pigmentation on the skin, be it old acne scars or dark circles under our eyes. The correctors for dark circles and scars usually come in a salmon color or a warm peachy color. But which color is right for you? Fair cool skin takes well to salmon colored correctors, while peach is the way to go for warm skin tones.

So now that you know the benefits of correctors are you ready for a little trick? Instead of going out and buying a corrector, you could mix a salmon pinky lipstick, or a warm coral lipstick with a creamy concealer you already have. Being able to color the concealer with the lipstick yourself helps get a better saturation of color for your personal skin tone. After making sure your  homemade corrector is mixed throughly it's ready for use.

To used a corrector simply apply to a trouble spot and blend as usual, after blending apply your regular concealer over the top, and just like that your dark spots are a thing of the past. Enjoy darlings! 

Flat Hair Fix: DIY

Ever have to run out the door quick but your hair is totally limp? I know i've been there, so I have a tip to make sure that never happens again!

If you have second day hair, or just hair that has lost all its volume a great trick is to rub a little baby powder in your roots. This is also a great trick if your hair is slightly oily because the baby powder will absorb the oil and give you lift.  Dont't have baby powder? Baking soda could also do the trick

Ardell Brow and Lash Accelerator Treatment Gel: Review

For about a year and a half i've been using Covergirl Lashbast waterproof mascara, and while I simply adore that mascara, it really started to take a toll on my lashes! Yes its true that the mascara would last all day but that also meant it was close to impossible to take it off at the end of the day without pulling out some sad little lashes! Seeing those lashes laying there on that cotton ball urged me to buy  a lash serum, and this is what I chose:

Ardell Brow and Lash Accelerator Treatment Gel:

FORMULA: A thin almost watery gel, does not leave lashes crunchy, scentless
COLOR: Clear
PACKAGING: Basic mascara tube, with a spool applicator
PRICE: $4-$8

This product has basically saved my lashes! Before using this my lashes were brittle from long days of wearing waterproof mascara. I applied this nightly after removing all my makeup and right from the start I could feel a difference. It didnt make my lashes grow dramatically, but it did help condition and strengthen them. I'll be honest I still abuse my lashes with constant waterproof mascara, but hey you only live once! Enjoy!

ELF Mineral Lip Gloss Sorority Girl: Swatch and Review

For a while ELF cosmetics were a hit or miss for me, I believe it was 3 years ago that I bought my first elf product it was a $1 plumping lip gloss that I really wouldn't recommend but ELF really knocked it out of the park with their mineral lip gloss! The shade I'll be reviewing is Sorority Girl

FORMULA: The formula is fantastic, its ultra smooth, light weight, scentless, and not sticky at all.
COLOR: Soroity Girl is a very deep pink with a warm undertone, it comes off as a "my lips but better" kind of color. It's slighty sheer but buildable.
PACKAGING: On the small side so its pocket friendly, Classy and sturdy clear plastic with matte black top.
PRICE: $3

ELF Mineral Lip Gloss in Sorority Girl is great! The color works nicely on my warm skintone, and the formula is exactly what i like, smooth and creamy with no tackiness whatsoever. Will definitley pick more of these babies up!
