Sunday Savings! 11-9

Happy Sunday!! Today's savings is from Rimmel London and it is the Stay Matte foundation. This foundation is great because it is a liquid mousse, which means it has great coverage and leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated. Most foundations make my skin dry but I have finally found one that leaves me smooth and locks the moisture into my skin. I use this as my "On the go" foundation and I love it! I have never purchased any products from Rimmel until I bought this and I can say I am not disappointed and I will definitely be getting more when I run out. You can purchase this from any drug store for only $4.39 and they also have a Stay Matte powder that can work with the foundation and seal your makeup in.

Dip Brow Before and After.

Here is my before and after using Dipbrow by Anastasia Beverly Hills. Naturally I have uneven sparse brows. I use Dipbrow everyday to give my brows a fuller more even look. I recommend Dipbrow to all of my followers because its so easy to use and you can basically reshape your brows however you want. You can find Dipbrow at any Ulta for $18.00!!!!

Makeup Must Have!

Happy Saturday! Today I just want to share my favorite makeup must have with you all! This is Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow, It is a cream like brow filler that gives you a great full look and lasts ALL day! I love this product because I use it with the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow brush and it makes the application neat with a clean look. The brush is double sided with a spoolie to brush your brows before and after you apply dip brow. Another great thing about Dipbrow is that they have a color for everyone and anyone. You all know I have bright red hair, so I use the auburn shade and it matches perfectly! You can get your Dipbrow at any Ulta for only $18.00!! I also bought the brush at ulta for $18.00 as well! I hope you all love it and I will put up a pictorial tomorrow morning of how I fill in my brows using dip brow!

How to stay hydrated this winter!

Our skin is constantly changing and with the winter coming up rather quick I thought I would blog about how to keep your skin hydrated. After all....beauty starts with health and ends with health. 

Typically during the winter our skin tends to dry out more than usual. This is caused by the weather change as well as the dry windy days. The less moisture in the air, the more your face will dry out. Some symptoms of dry skin are:
  • Chapped lips
  • Itchy
  • Absorbs products rather quickly 
  • Dry patches on face
  • Flakiness 
  • Roughness
To prevent dry skin from happening this winter here are some tips to stay hydrated:
  • Use an oil based moisturizer. Oil on dry skin hydrates the skin a lot better and penetrates a lot better than an oil based moisturizer.
  • Moisturize after a hot shower while your pores are wide open and ready to absorb the product.
  • Put on more moisturizer at night before you go to bed. Giving your skin time to soak up all of the extra moisturizer will make you feel fresh and ready for the morning. Your face will feel so much better just by adding a tiny bit more to your face before bed. 
  • USE SUNSCREEN! The summer and winter are the best times to get a tan. The sun reflects off of the snow and can give you color in just a few hours. So before you go out mix some sunscreen into your moisturizer. Some moisturizers even have an SPF already in them!
  • Use a mineral spray during the day when you're starting to feel dried out. I recommend Evian Mineral Facial Spray. I use it all the time and I love the way it makes me face feel. 
  • Use a hydrating chap stick or lip balm. A lot of chap stick isn't as hydrating as you would like it to be. The companies sell you on the flavor of the chap stick instead of its actual occlusive hydration. For example EOS chap stick has great flavors but I realize how much it dries out my lips. I like the Chapstick brand because it is cheap but works wonders. I have a chap stick in my car, my purse, on my night stand, in my makeup bag, and on my vanity. 
  • When you apply makeup during the winter you may want to use an oil based foundation vs. A water based foundation. As I said above, oil tends to penetrate and leave the skin more moisturized than water based products. 
  • EXFOLIATE!! Exfoliating works wonders and removes most of the dead skin on your face and or body. Too much exfoliation can be a bad thing though. It can be way to abrasive to your face and cause rashes, break outs, cysts, and can damage the skin. Exfoliating in a nice steamy hot shower once a week to twice a week (for oily skin) is perfect and will remove dead skin cells and prep the skin for the new developing skin cells. Moisturizing after exfoliation is very effective. 
  • Drink plenty of water. Although we love our warm coffee, cider, hot cocoa, and tea during the winter, the caffeine definitely dries out your skin. For every cup of coffee you consume you should drink two bottles of water right after.
  • For the rest of your body, moisturizing twice a day after a hot shower will help a lot. Also covering up while outside will keep the body warm and less likely to get dry and chapped. 
I hope you all liked these tips and use them this winter! Don't let the cold get the best of you!!

Sunday Savings! 11-2-14

Todays beauty product is Revlons Iced Amethyst 625. This lipstick is perfect for the fall and applys as a pearl with some shimmer to it. Most lipsticks dry my lips out but this one is very moisturizing and easy to wear. You can find this lipstick at any drugstore and the price was $4.99. Go out and buy this lipstick! I promise you will LOVE it!

Happy November!

I know I have been slacking lately with videos and blogging, but I have just got my permit for aesthetics today along with my certificate for microdermabrasion. I also made a brand new makeup account on Instagram, you all can follow me @muasydney !! Its very exciting and I cant wait to start uploading more photos and definitely more videos onto the beautybibles. I also have been trying to set up my new beauty room and find out where I can buy good lights to film with. I also have some exciting news about starting a new segment called Sunday Savings. I started it on my instagram already. Every Sunday I share some of my favorite drug store beauty products that are very affordable and are products I really love. I include how much the product is, where you can get it, and a mini review. I hope you all enjoy the instagram and I will see you all in my upcoming tutorial VERY soon! I promise!!
