lovely blush ;)

Review, Photos, Swatches




I’m really crazy about this blush- fanatic to describe it, is an understatement!


Okay, I really love all makeup, but I seriously understand the importance of flushed cheeks!
 I fell in love with this blusher. For starters it is the prettiest rose I have ever seen! It’s kind of a baby, so this blush can go light or build it up - but even a little can go a long way, and it’s stunning! It’s one of those blushers that look good on anyone and can be worn heavy or light to give you a rose flush. It Looks like a natural blush after being out of the sun as some of my deeper coloured blushers but don't be afraid of this blush if you are medium toned or lighter overall - fair to good may need to reapply when going from day to night. Though I `am not sure how it would hold up for someone with more oily skin (I'm mostly oily at t-zone). But I love how it is!
I am deeply sure it will work with pretty much any makeup look, so I love it! Its beautiful on the skin, and lasts really well!
I appreciate this blush for it`s pretty Color -rosy-light bronze with some shimmer –really looks great!

Acne



Acne


What Is Acne?Acne, medically known as Acne Vulgaris, is a skin disease that involves the oil glands at the base of hair follicles. It commonly occurs during puberty when the sebaceous (oil) glands come to life - the glands are stimulated by male hormones, which are produced by the adrenal glands of both males and females.


The word acne comes from the word acme meaning "the highest point," which comes from the Greek akme meaning "point" or "spot" - it was originally misspelt, with an 'n' rather than an 'm' in 1835.
In humans, pimples tend to appear on the face, back, chest, shoulders and neck.Simply put - skin cells, sebum and hair can clump together into a plug, this plug gets infected with bacteria, resulting in a swelling. A pimple starts to develop when the plug begins to break down.
Acne isn’t just problem for teens in puberty. Adults can get or have it as well. There is a lot of girls cant leave the house without make up to hide it. They think there is no way to get rid of it cause there are steps you can take to turn your skin around at any age.


There are many reasons you can break out as an adult:

  • Menstrual cycle
  • Anxiety and stress
  • Hot and humid climates
  • Oil based makeups
  • Greasy hair
  • Squeezing the pimples
  • changes in your hormone levels
  • Some medications, including lithium, antiseizure drugs, and corticosteroids .
  • Pressure
  • Cosmetics


 Your dermatologist can help you figure out why your acne is happening. In some cases, it may be related to another condition.




Daily Skin Care:
  • Wash your face about twice each day. Do not wash it more often. Use a mild soap made for people with acne, and warm water.
  • Don't try to burst the pimples cause Popping pimples makes scarring more likely.
  • Try to refrain from touching your face with your hands.
  • Keep your hands clean, wash them regularly.
  • Always wash your hands before touching your face and before applying lotions, creams or makeup.
  • If you are wearing Glasses they should regularly be cleaned. Glasses always collect sebum and skin residue.
  • Your skin needs to breathe. If your acne is on your back, shoulders or chest try to wear clothes your skin can breath. Tight garments, such as headbands, caps and scarves should be avoided - if you have to wear them make sure they are cleaned regularly.
  • Don't go to sleep with makeup on. But if you want you should use makeup which does not contain oil and does not clog up the pores, if you cant find it – ask the pharmacist or shopkeeper of the drugstore.
  • (Only use makeup that is noncomedogenic or nonacnegenic) - you should be able to read this on the label.
  • As you know Hair collects sebum and skin residue you should to keep your hair clean and away from your face.
  • Too much sun can make your skin to produce more sebum. Acne medications make it more likely as a sunburn.
  • If you shave your face, do it carefully. Use either an electric shaver or safety razor. Before using a safety razor make sure the blade is sharp - then soften your skin and beard with warm soapy water before applying the shaving cream.




The majority of people who get acne will develop mild acne. This can usually be treated with OTC (over-the-counter) medications. OTC medications can be bought at any pharmacy without a doctor's prescription. They are usually applied to the skin as topical medicines.
Over-the-Counter Creams and Lotions. Retinoid creams or lotions can help clear your skin and also lessen wrinkles.

Here some Products which can be good for the occasional spot treatment:

  • Resorcinol
  • Benzoyl Peroxide
  • Salicylic Acid
  • Sulfur
  • Retin-A
  • Azelaic Acid
