Beauty Tips 101 That Make Life That Little Bit Easier

Here are some beauty tips that i think make life a whole lot easier & convenient!

1. Before coating your lashes with mascara, put a card or a cut out small piece of thick paper behind your lashes. This will give the false lash effect!

2. Use Coconut Oil as an overall body moisturizer! 

3. Add some sort of gloss/balm/shimmer to the fronts of your legs, to make them appear longer! You can also use coconut oil for this too ;)

4. Angle your mascara brush! Don't go overboard on the bending, just enough so it fits back into the tube! Bending it will help coat your lashes and really get into spaces which takes time filling!

5. Mix your fave foundation with an illuminating liquid. Make sure there is more foundation than the illuminator!  This will give you a natural glow.

6. Dont have eyeshadow primer? No worries use a concealer instead! Blend into the corners of the eye outwards.

7. Dont have shaving gel/foam? Use baby oil instead, saves time and money!

Hope you enjoyed these quick tips!

Apple Cider Vinegar For Weightloss, Fact or Fiction?

I'm not going to bombard you with scientific facts, I'm not 100 percent certain anywho apple cider vinegar has been scientifically proven, as it always says on the bottle.

Anyway for me Apple Cider actually works. I admit I was sceptical at first and you probably are too, I mean how many weightloss gimmicks exists?

 I take it when I feel like I've been eating junk and I need to detox and lose some kilos.
The specific brand I use is wescobee and it is honey apple cider vinegar, which is actually bearable to drink! So even if you just buy apple cider vinegar, you can just add honey really!

For weightloss try twice a day, when you wake in the morning and before bed at night.
I usually put two-three teaspoons in a glass of cold water and then pretty much skull it.

Now to the point! I've lost 4 kilos in a month from doing this, not changing a heap either to my lifestyle or diet. 

Here's a few things apple cider can help with also:

  • Balancing your body's ph 
  • Detox
  • Breaks up mucus and helps your lymphatic system
  • Helps allergies 
  • Help body get rid of candida
  • Reduce heartburn 
  • Relieves sinus, asthma and sore throats
  • Removes toxins, gout from joints and organs 
  • Fights arthritis 
  • Makes hair silky and shiny when used as a hair rinse
What do you think? Worth a try eh?

I'm definitely sold!

Drugstore Everyday Makeup Tutorial Only Using Two Garnier BB Creams! No Foundation or Concealer!

Hey Beauties! 
I wanted to share my latest everyday makeup routine especially because it feels light weight and there's nothing more than i hate than feeling like im wearing a makeup mask when doing day to day regular stuff!

Sooo my everyday makeup routine only consists of:

2 BB creams
Mascara
Eyelash Curler
Eye shadow powder
My fave lippy!


How do i go from getting out of the shower (on the left) No makeup and pretty bad acne to that on the right of almost flawless looking skin? (No editing on the right just natural lighting!)

So how do i maintain coverage? especially when at times i get cystic acne :( the pain is still there believe me! but the acne, uneven skin tone is not! surprisingly with just 2 BB creams! 


Then you ask, which BB creams could do a decent enough job to cover that typa stuff??

Why these two of course! and they have been under your nose at practically every supermarket, drugstore or chemist you've been to! 




And then you ask how?

We massage the first one, on the left into the skin for hydration and then use the other one, on the right, alot like we would use our foundation! with a stippling brush or a beauty blender (damp).
The second one isn't oily and is very pigmented, the first BB cream is very hydrating and shiny.
You basically end up with a nice even glow and skin tone with coverage of all blemishes!
And this is perfect for oily/combination/dry skin because if you have oily skin you can use more of oil control Garnier BB and less of the first BB which is more for dry skin. And vice versa for dry skin.

And there you have it! no concealing unless you want to or absolutely have to!

Try these two drugstore BBs and let me know what you think of my everyday natural makeup routine!
I even use this combination of BB creams at night for a nice, think Victoria Secret Glow ;) with bronzer and powder!

Hope you enjoyed this quick bloggy!
much love
