The Sassy Class-ic Makeup Routine

Hi, it's Kitty here again :)

This time, I'm going to explain to you my daily makeup routine.

I'm pretty rookie when it comes to wearing makeup. I HAVE been doing it for years, because I did dance when I was younger and learned to do it then. However, I went on a hiatus and didn't use makeup when I was in high school very often because we weren't allowed to wear it.

Anyway. I start off by using a Natio all day SPF 15+ moisturizer. I then put Garnier tinted caffeine eye roll on under my eyes, on my eyelids and over my nose or any blemishes and red patches. It's light and great for covering veins or small red marks.

I use a BYS liquid eyeliner and do a cat like swipe/flick for a classic look. If I'm feeling game, I add a little bit of eye shadow, creme eyeliner, or lipstick. I finish it off with Revlon mascara.

I know it doesn't seem like much, but it's a simple way to make you look beautiful without piling too much makeup on. Sometimes, if I'm going out, I'll use a foundation, but only for special events.

Sorry for the horrible quality!

I'd love to see how some of you do your makeup!
Stay beautiful, Kitty.

Feel Good Music

Firstly, it's Kitty here. Sorry for being on hiatus!

When you're feeling sad, don't listen to sad music! You best whip out the happy tunes and just revel in love.

I've got a bit of back story. I got my license yesterday, and talked to my mum about borrowing one of our cars today so I could drive to see my friends. Long story short, I was under the impression I would get the car, woke up this morning and didn't get the car. So I was stuck at home. I came back to my computer, and put on some happy music..

It made me feel loved, and just managed to cheer me up heaps.
The guy who wrote/sang this is actually one of my best friends.

Check out his song. Yes, this was a plug for him, but he didn't ask me to :3
I decided I would because I found his song and it made my day.
Thanks ladies.

Stay beautiful, Kitty.

Have you ever bought something that's just so (insert word here)?

I walked into Kmart yesterday and spotted a $3 rack and quickly moved there. I really like finding cheap stuff I like. I walked away with a sports shirt I bought at $15 (in a different colour), A skirt I've been watching decrease in price since it was $20.

And this...



It's 4 sizes too big (The right size looked stupid). and I was intrigued by the big gaping sleeves, I thought the knots looked kinda stupid but loved the colour. I thought to myself "HEY! it's $3 you can totally afford it *cough*", so I bought it and when I got home I started working on ways to wear it.

So far I've worked out that tucking the knots into the sleeves will make it less stupid. Add some accessories or leave it as is and it isn't a bad looking $3 shirt.

SO, Have you guys ever found something so (insert word here) that you had to buy it regardless of whether you originally like it or not?

Anyways,
Till next time,

Stay Beautiful :)

Washing off makeup

Hey girls

So recently I have been making sure I have been washing my face properly before I go to bed. I seemed to be getting pimples because I would leave it on and it would clog up my pores while I was sleeping.

I know it can be annoying when your really tired to wash your face but trust me it's totally worth it is the long run.

Ok so when I wash my face I use warm water to open up my pores. This helps get any dirt that is in them. So that pimples do not form.

I then take a cleanser I normally use nutrimetics but today I got a new one from clean and clear that has a brush scrubber on in to exfoliate as you wash. This is a great way to wash your face it is so simple and easy. I will do a review on this product when I use it more.

If I use nutimetics I use the toner and cream as well. The only thing with these products is that they smell a lot like chemicals and I am someone who loves things that smell good.

Tonight I got back into using the lucura night cream as well so I will let you know how that goes.

Remember it is better in the long run if you take that extra time at night.

Loreal Elvive hair care

Hey girls so a while ago I used a range of hair care called Elvive from Loreal. I have never liked something so much that i have brought true whole range.

They are so good. I used then a while ago and just started to use them again and I remembered how awesome they are. I use the one that is white and red packaging which is the total repairing one. Is smells amazing and does great things for your hair. If you have dry or damaged hair this is the thing for you. It just revive dry hair and leave it fresh and alive. I recommend this product a lot.

The Lazy woMan's Daily Makeup - Lauren

Hey Girls,

Today it is my turn to share one of my makeup routines. I have 3, depending on what I'm doing, how I'm feeling and how much of a rush I am in. This article is about how I apply my makeup when I'm in a rush or feeling lazy or having a good skin day.

Starting with a clean, moisturised face I apply Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB cream (which I have done a review on previously).

I often will apply Rimmel Match Perfection Skin Tone Adapting Concealer in shade 010 Ivory to cover up the red marks or spots that the BB cream doesn't conceal.

After the application I will either apply Rimmel Stay Matte Press Powder to remove shine, or if there is none I will leave it as is.

To complete my natural look, I will use Clinique High Impact Mascara which is an awesome mascara that clumps the least out of all the mascara's I have used.

After applying the mascara I apply Chi Chi All Night Long Black Auto Eyeliner to my upper waterlines to enhance the thickness and darkness of my eyelashes. I will also sometimes apply Maybelline Maste Precise Liquid Liner to the outside of the top eyelid.

To finish it off I apply Loreal Nudy Pink Lip Butter.

Below is a photo of my completed look.

Done and Dusted!

Perfume

I can say I love to smell good. I love to make my hair smell amazing to that when people are near you they say your hair smells so good!

Also just smelling good is amazing. Here are some of my favorite perfumes.

Marc Jacobs daisy is my all time favorite it smells so amazing. It is about $70 a bottle but it is great.

Britney spears fantasy is a great everyday perfume for a cheaper price. Its about $20 for a bottle.

Some others that make good perfume katy perry, Taylor swift, channel

Also if you are buying for a man Ralph Lauren black is amazing and bvlagro black is also yummy!

I hope this helps but remember everyone enjoys different scents.

Foundation routine - Nikita

Hey guys so I am just going to tell you how I apply my foundation and what products I use.

I start out with a clean face. I then apply my "natures care paw paw" moisturiser.

Next I add my "Rimmel fix and perfect face primer" all over my face. This just helps to keep the makeup in place for longer.

Next I apply "Rimmel stay matte liquid foundation" in the colour 103 true ivory. I use clean fingers to apply because it blends better with the heat from your fingers.

I then use "cover girls medium translucent professional powder" to set the make up in place.

If I have any blemishes or under eye circles I use the "body shops tea tree concealer" in shade one. I do this step usually after or before apply foundation.

I then go onto then rest of my makeup. If you would like to see me apply my make up I will be uploading to YouTube soon a video of how I apply my makeup.

Stay beautiful

Essie

Recently I went into Myers to show kitty what Essie nail polish is. For you who don't know it's a brand of nail polishes that I have only ever found in Myers in Australia I am sure you could get them some other places in the bigger cities.

I went just to show her them but ended up getting two. There was a sale on the packs of smaller ones. So I decided to go halves with her. We got the summer collection one and I ended up with the colours "pretty edgy" and "knockout pout" they are really nice and I had never worn green nail polish like this colour. I would recommend these nail polishes. They apply do well and last pretty well, although using a top coat is best for a lasting finish. I really had to get it because we had to dress up in green for St. Patrick's day at work. I hope to try more of the range soon.

Stay beautiful!

Water

Hey girls

So I recently bought a water bobble. I am not lying when I say it is proberly one of the best bought this ever! I can not stand the taste of unfiltered water. So this helps me to drink so much water through out the day. We I would take a normal water bottle I would drink it all and then not fill it back up because it tasted so bad. I would then feel so gross because I wasnt drinking. This is where the water bobble is amazing I now just refill when ever I need and it filters as I go.

I have had another filter bottles before but I found it alot harder to drink out of.

Water is so good for our body inside and out. It clears out bad stuff in our bodies and keeps us hydrated. Water has been proven to keep skin healther as well. So one of the best keep beauty secrects is drink lots and lots of water.

Enjoy and Stay Beautyful!

TIP OF THE DAY + PRODUCT REVIEW

Hey girls!

It's time for a combined tip and review.

My tip is a pretty old one and a pretty basic one but it has to be said...
DON'T WEAR MAKEUP WHEN YOU HAVE BAD PIMPLES OR ACNE.

Everyone has a day or week where their skin just isn't right, there's also a group of people who suffer from acne. I don't know much about dealing with acne, this is directed more at the people who occasionally suffer from bad skin.

My skin has only just cleared up after a week of awfulness and I learnt a little trick...

Wash your face. Don't wear foundation every day. Don't wear concealer where possible.
I didn't wear any makeup other than mascara and it helped a lot.

Another thing that helped a lot is my tinted moisturiser. And this is where my review comes in.

I've been using "Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Daily All-In-One Moisturiser" BB Cream.

You can find this on http://www.garnier.com.au/_en/_au/bb-cream/products.aspx

I've been using this daily. It evens out skin tone and dulls redness. I have been using it instead of foundation and if required it is possible to use Concealer on top or use Translucent Powder to remove any shine.

It comes in light, medium or dark tones and even if it doesn't quite match it is very close and can be adjusted just by the amount of product used. For example, my skin tone is a little too light for the light tone, so I use a smaller amount or put a lighter translucent powder over the top.

This is simply a tinted moisturiser and because of this it is perfect for moments like I mentioned earlier when you feel the need to wear something but it would be a bad idea to wear full-on makeup. As a moisturiser it doesn't clog up your pores like a foundation.

I love this product, although it can feel a little heavy on my skin. But that being the only downside it is a pretty amazing product and definitely one to invest in.

That's it for this article.

Stay Beautiful :)

Those Braces...

Hey Girls,

So today my post isn't going to be so much about a beauty tip or review but more on something that nobody likes but alot of people have... Braces.

I personally have had braces and I know how it feels to be a metal mouth. But honestly I don't see what this hatred against braces is.

Yes you have a heap of metal in your mouth for a year or two but honestly you just have to look at your before and afters to realise they are worth it.

I personally never got bullied for having braces but I've heard some people have been. And I don't understand why. It's just an apparartis to correct something. They're much like glasses and they are awesome and trendy.

I got braces at the beginning of grade 11 and had them right up until part way through my first semester at uni. I had to have teeth removed because there wasn't enough space and I had to have all sorts of elastics during; some where I couldn't open my mouth. But in the end, after two years of being a metal mouth I can see it was definately worth it.



I'm not saying everyone should get braces. I got mine because of my huge overbite and rabbit-like teeth. My dentist said if I got hit in the face by a ball during smort it could do serious damage.

All I'm trying to say is they aren't that bad. Take it from someone who's had them, they are a pain in the butt to clean but they really do give you some pretty good results.

Don't be scared if your dentist tells you "you need them", if you end up getting them, you'll be amazed by the stunning improvement which will be apparent in your before and after shots (which I lost, hence why I have personal photos not the authodontists photos above).

SO that's my message to you girls today. They aren't anything to be scared of and it's just another accessory.

SO remember, regardless of if you have braces, glasses, red hair or green, YOU are beautiful!!!

<3 Lauren
