AllAboutBeauty: ClarinsMen Anti-Fatigue Eye Serum

Clarins Men Anti-fatigue Eye Serum is different from the creams I’ve used previously. A refreshing eye treatment serum for men who want to look their best and most vital. Helps diminishes the signs of fatigue in the eye area by reducing dark circles, smoothing early wrinkles for a more awake, rested appearance. The serum is actually a blue gel which is really easy to apply and it is not sticky or oily, plus nobody would know you have anything on. Only after a few days I found my skin around the eyes felt firmer and my dark circles had actually reduced slightly. I also felt my eyes appeared to look brighter. This product is also good for getting rid of puffiness around the eyes

AllAboutBeauty: The Body Shop Cheek and Lip Stain – gives lips and cheeks a healthy-looking glow

This dual-purpose stain gives lips and cheeks a healthy-looking glow with one wash of color, or builds up for a richer, deeper coverage. A great base for lip products. Its moisturizing formulation helps to condition the skin. Dermatologically tested. i love the original lip and cheek stain because you get a light stain of color on your lips; natural, subtle, yet lasting.  I really like this product and I feel that it delivered all that it promised. It delivers a more natural lip color, but if you were going for a more dramatic lip color then this would not be the product for you. Also as a cheek stain I felt this was EXTREMELY noticeable- but in a good way.

What is a Mineral Make Up?

The ingredients come from nature that is why most people love it
The ingredients come from nature that is why most people love it

 

Mineral make up is becoming increasing popular and a hot item right now. More and more brands every day are starting to release mineral makeup lines. But what is mineral makeup? And is it really better than normal makeup for your skin?

Mineral makeup is made only from naturally occurring minerals (like titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and mica) that are finely crushed and milled.

 

Is mineral makeup really all natural?


Because it is created with minerals found in nature, mineral makeup is touted to be all natural. Pure mineral make up doesn’t contain oils, preservatives, fragrances, alcohol, talc and dyes. However, the regulations for what constitutes mineral makeup is not very clear and therefore, any products containing minerals as a primary ingredient, even if it contains preservatives and other chemicals, can be marketed as mineral makeup.

 

Skin Benefits


Pure mineral makeup is good for skin because, being final milled, it is not comedogenic and won’t clog your pores. It is also especially good for people with sensitive skin as it doesn’t contain chemicals that irritate the skin.

  • Natural look and feel
  • Stays on all day long
  • Good for sensitive skin
  • It’s anti-inflammatory
  • No harmful ingredients

 

Sun protection


Mineral makeup contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, who are the best two sunscreen ingredients as they protect from both UVA and UVB rays. However, they are used in powder forms and can easily be brushed off. While mineral makeup offers some UV protection, you should always apply sunscreen before makeup.

 

Coverage


Mineral makeup is light but you can achieve full coverage layering on the powder until you get the effect you want.

 

Application


These products come in loose powders form and are usually applied with a kabuki or large fluffly brush. First, cleanse and moisturize your face. Then, swirl the brush in the cap and tap off any excess powder. Apply it in a circular downward motion starting from the center of your face.

Best of all, because mineral powders are inorganic and contain no moisture, bacteria do not grow and no preservatives are needed.  Mineral make up works very well for some people, while others report breakouts and irritation. Mineral makeup is not all the same. Different brands use different ingredients and formulations, so you just need to experiment until you find the right products that work for you.

Directions: 

 

1. To remove all previous colour and/or prep your skin for a long lasting tan use apply TAN REMOVER EXFOLIATING SCRUB in the shower or bath prior to application.

2. To obtain long lasting results, apply TAN AIRBRUSH IN A CAN within 45 minutes after showering, when your skin is clean. Cover the floor if you intend to stand and spray, or spray in the shower so any excess spray can be easily washed away. Shake the can well (this is really important) and spray about a foot away from your body in a light, even motion (you’ll love the cocoa butter scent!).

3. Apply a light spray for a subtle hint of color or a heavy application for a dark golden bronze. Remember practice makes perfect and if you do make a slight mistake please feel free to rub the tan into your skin (and you can use the TAN REMOVER to wash the excess tan off your hands!)

4. Since your tan will deepen over time, wait twenty minutes before dressing and eight hours before showering. TAN AIRBRUSH IN A CAN is designed to suit all skin types so if you would like a darker tan simply apply another layer!
