All about skin types!
There are 5 basic skin types:
1. oily
2. combination (normal)
3. sensitive
4. dry
5. sun-damaged.
1. Oily Skin:
Oily skin is shiny looking skin, especially in the t-zone (from the forehead, down the nose to the chin). Oily skin can have enlarged pores, and may be prone to blackheads and breakouts due to the faces oil-producing gland.
Postivie thing about oily skin is it ages better than dry skin because the oils keep the skin plump allowing fewer wrinkles to form.
To take care of oily skin, wash with a cleanser formulated for oily skin before you go to bed and use oil-free moisturizers.
On the makeup side like blush and bronzers, powdered blends work better than liquid ones and look for oil-free options for tinted moisturizers or foundations.
2. Combination skin:
Combination skin is when one part of your face is dry (usually the majority of your face) while the T-zone which is your forehead and down your nose, including your chin is oily.
Two different moisturizers should be used for different parts of the face.
3. Dry Skin:
Dry skin feels tight, especially after cleansing. It is easier to get fine wrinkles, flaking and red patches.
In dry skin, skin may appear ashy or dull from dead skin buildup.
Dry skin requires special care. Heavy cleansers and moisturizers should be used.
4. Sensitive Skin:
Sensitive skin tends to be thin, and delicate with fine pores. You can also know you have sensitive skin if you are easily irritated by the sun, certain cosmetic products and if you are prone to redness, itchy patches or blotchy skin.
Finding the right cleansers and moisturizers for your skin type can be tricky. Get products that are for sensitive skin. Look for mild products that contain no scents.
5. Aging or Sun-damaged Skin:
This skin type also feels tight with visible wrinkles, slack skin tone especially around the cheeks and jawline with leathery texture and broken capillaries.
To care for aging skin, you should consider using moisturizers and heavy creams to plump up your fine wrinkles.

Maybelline falsies Vs Maybelline colossal mascara!
Maybelline Volume Express the falsies vs Maybelline volume Express the colossal.
First of all this is my opinion on the two products and what I experienced on my eyelashes.
The falsies:
Pros:
-Gives length.
-Natural looking.
- After leaving it aside for a month it could get better since the falsies has a very wet formula.
Cons:
- Doesn't give volume.
- After a few coats it can weigh down the lashes.
- Very wet formula which takes a long time to dry.
Rating: 2.5/5!
The colossal:
Pros:
-Gives lashes volume and length.
-Can give a false lash effect.
Cons:
-After 3 coats it gets a bit clumpy(but this can also be a pro since a bit of clump doesn't mind people, I didn't mind, but still thought I should put it on the con side for other people)
Rating: 4/5!
Overall I prefer the colossal over the falsies. But my favorite mascara from the Maybelline volume express line is the one by one :)
Which mascara do you prefer from the Maybelline volume express line? :)

Eyeshadows to make your eye color pop!
Eyeshadows to make your eyes pop for different eye colors!
Blue Eyes
If you want you eyes to pop and look mesmerizing(get attention) then try wearing earth-tones, such as browns with a slight purple base, taupe(grayish brown), and different tones of grays. If you want to have a little fun outside of the earth-tones, then try a nice rose colored eyeshadow. The coolness from the pink/purple eyeshadow will be a really nice contrast to your blue eyes.
Brown Eyes
If you want you eyes to pop then try either green eyeshadow or pink eyeshadow. With brown eyes, you can also use blue eyeshadow, and if you have gold flecks in your eyes you may want to try an eyeshadow that has a gold shimmer to it. Brown eyes can even pull-off wearing brown eyeshadow, but be careful because certain tones can look muddy against your beautiful brown eyes.
Green/Hazel Eyes
In order to get green eyes to pop, you should try wearing various purple shades. The contrast in color to your eyes will make them seem more dramatic. If you want your eyes to stand out but look more natural, you may want to try warmer mocha brown shades or warm colors with slight orange undertones. Basic eyeshadow colors for green eyes would be earth tones with slight hints of gold, taupe colors, mocha browns, and lavender-purple shades. Since most green and hazel eyes has a variety of flecks, feel free to experiment with these colors so you can find the perfect one for your eyes.

Finding your exact hue lipstick!
Finding the exact right hue for lipstick depends on your undertones.
If you have greenish veins and yellow undertones, then you're warm and should get colors with an orange base.
If you have bluish veins and pinky undertones, you're cool and should get colors with a blue base.

6 things to do, to reduce pimples, acne and breakouts!
What should you do to keep your face from not getting a lot of pimples...
Firstly, what you put on your face is really important because the face can be really sensitive at times.
We all get pimples, acne and other type of breakouts in our lives and sometimes it really puts us down when we see things on our face that we can't control!
Its not like we can always do something about it because some pimples, acne and breakouts don't fade really quickly, but we can do things to reduce and avoid pimples.
1. Keep your face clean by washing it when you feel like its getting oily.
2. Use a good moisturizer for your skin type.
3. Avoid putting a lot of foundation when you have breakouts because it clogs the pores and could make it worth.
4. Don't play with it and try to pop them.
5. Have relaxing times, because stress can cause breakouts.
6. Give it time.
