Lemony Lemon!!

Most of us have struggled with our skin at some point, So Idecided to create a series of post that will provide you with great natural skin care alternatives. Most skin care products have like 50 different ingredients and 1 active ingredient. Rather then using skin care products with mystery additives why not make your own? For instance....

LEMONS

Lemons are very beneficial to the skin , and can be use in skin care treatments.Lemon juice, is a natural antiseptic, can assist in curing problems related to skin

*Lemon can be used to brighten and soften you skin, it can be used on your face and any rough skin like your knees and elbows. Just squeeze half a lemon in your bath water and sit in for about 20mins.

*It can also be used as a natural mild skin lightener, getting rid of freckles, agespots, and blemishes. As well as getting rid of blackheads. Take a slice of lemon and rub on the the problem area. For SENSITIVE skin just dilute the lemon juice and apply.

* Lemon Juice also acts as a antiaging remedy, Lemons are loaded with vitamin C which helps our skin cells reduce the effects of free radical which increase aging.

*Lemon juice is great for oily and acne prone skin , the citric acid in lemons breaks down oils and cleanses the skin. The Alpha-hydroxy acid in lemons help exfoliate the skin , this is great because the key to ageless skin is exfoliation in moderation.
 You can create a chemical peel (which removes dead skin) by taking
powered content of an unflavored gelatin packet into a bowl with boiled water and pour just enough water to cover the gelatin, mix until the gelatin dissolves and allow it to cool a bit ( so you won't burn your face) For sensitive skin used boiled milk.
Squeeze lemon juice more or less depending on the severity. Add an egg white (no yolk) Mix and apply , wait 30 mins and remove.

Please remember to apply sunscreen to protect your new clean skin

Review: Urban Decay Deluxe Shadow Box

This is a review on The Deluxe Shadow Box from Urban Decay, one of my ultimate 
favorite eye shadow palette ever, The packaging it self is adorable ! Its a 
purlple suede cover with a metallic mesh square in the middle!
 And when you open it up tah dah! It has a mirror 12 different shadows and a small eye primer ( which is missing) !
These colors are super easy to apply and vivid with just one swipe you get plenty of color! They are not shimmery they are metallic!
Its really great because if your going for a more dramatic look you can use the 6 shades on top and for a more nude and casual look you can use the last 3 . You could even just mix them up!

Fill Weight: Deluxe Eye Shadow 9 x 1.2 e 9 x .04 US oz; Eye Shadow Primer Potion 2.66ml e 0.10 US fl oz
Price: $38.00 You can purchase one at UrbanDecay.com ,Beauty.com or Sephora

Kardashian Tuesday

Yesterday I had such a good day, first I went at  9am to school (Empire Beauty
School) for orientation. Everyone was super nice and funny! We sat there for about
1hr30mins and discussed important things like attendance, dress code ,
financial aid, and other peoples experience! I'm so excited to start! We learned
that on our first day of school we will be receiving and enormous Beauty Kit!
Which includes everything we'll ever need! 

When I left my house
 So after my orientation ended I
decide to head to barnes and nobles on 5th ave to see the Kardashians! OMG I
walked from 32nd st to 46th st in the rain. "What a loser" lol. When I arrived
there was a huge line , that went around the block!

At 5thAve Barnes and Nobles for the Kardashian Book Signing
I went inside and the
kardashians were upstairs, unfortunately we were not allowed upstairs unless we
were coming from the line. So I went back home at least for a brief moment we
were in the same building!

I got caught in the rain

P.S.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEST FRIEND GABRIELLE 12/1/89

ThanksGiving!

Wednesday night I went to sleep feeling fine,I think I probably sneezed like 
once. When I woke up the following morning I felt all kinds of symptoms,cough, 
a really bad sore throat! 

                                                                Lol All bundled up !

I couldnt get this picture to rotate
So I took a therflu, and some tylenol cold pills and 
went about my day! First thing in the morning I went to church to give away 
clothes and food! And around 12pm I came back home and got ready to go to NJ to 
visit my older sister! I was feeling worst, runny nose, headache , fever! But I 
really didn't want to let this bring me down. So we headed out to the car 
around 4pm, btw we took my kitten with us, who fell asleep the entire way. A 
1.5hr drive turned into a 3hr drive, so much traffic! Then I had to use the 
bathroom, and your probably going to call me nasty for this but I grabbed a cup 
and peed, nature was calling! 

Kitten sleeping by the stearing wheel

                                                                   My older sis and I
 
I had loades of fun when we got der, ate tunes of 
food, eventho I couldn't taste very well! Around 10 we headed back home because 
I seriously wasn't feeling well. On the car ride back the kitten pooped , lucky 
we had a small cat litter in the car! I grab the poop and threw it away! Once I 
got home I put my PJs on and went to bed!

Review: Coastal Scents Camouflage Concealer Palette

I bought this Palette a while back for $ $16.95 at http://www.coastalscents.com/cfwebstore/index.cfm/product/1710_122/professional-camouflage-concealer-palette.cfm  , I felt this palette would be really useful because, sometimes its so hard to find a concealer that matches your skin tone. One thing I like is you can mix two colors to achieve that perfect color. You don't have to buy new concealers as your skin tones changes from summer to winter.The texture of this product is thick but yet creamy enough that you can still blend it well, its not oily.
