Hi everyone it's FAVOURITES time! I've got some make up to show that I've been LOVING this month! ^^ Soo excited.  So pretty much, my skin has been in the 'recovery' phase of acne so I've been using these products daily to help cover them up for work!  1: Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream : I use it in replace of my foundation as I prefer the colour match for this winter season and it has salicylic acid. Check out this link for a full review on it :  http://gennaxnyou.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/todays-focus-maybelline-dream-pure-bb.html  . 2: Vichy Dermablend : Its a thick concealer so sometimes I used it as a foundation as well. Real creamy and it helps cover up my acne and it lasts for ages too.

Heyy, because I've been struggling with some acne lately and my collection concealer works but I feel like I need something more creamier & thicker that would last longer on my skin too. So I went out to the drug store the other day and found this product. So this is the : Vichy Dermablend Concealer/Foundation Stick Costs:  £15.00   Contains SPF 30 Comes in 5 different shades only. Thick consistency Does last long Full coverage if used as a concealer  Doesn't flake as compared to other stick concealers Creamy texture Best results if blended using fingers.  Contains Salicylic acid for acne-prone skin - Personal opinion: As I said,I'm using it to cover my acne. It does a great job at covering scars,redness and hyperpigmentation but just bear in mind, if you have a raised acne, any concealer you use no matter how thick or full coverage it is, it will still look raised after.  It worked great for me, love the texture, colour ma

Heyy everyone, few more days before New Years / the year ends, so we've got to keep it going. We're so close and we can't let the holidays give in to all the excuses to not exercise. So yes, I've got a few suggestions if you're on the go or you're not at your home city to go to your usual gym OR you're just not a gym kind of person and want to achieve similar results. ;) Here are some ideas. 1) Outdoor Sports. Try a new outdoor sport (rollerblading, football, jogging,skiing,kayaking, swimming). Those sports can make you have fun and burn you loads of calories at the same time. Why NOT? 2) Indoor Sports . You don't always to be indoors in a gym to lose weight. Engaging yourself in a sport activity especially team sports will also boost your teamwork/social skills whilst losing weight. For example, badminton/squash/basketball/rock climbing/table tennis.  3) Daily Errands. In addition to those usual sporting activities, your da

Hi, it's been a while since I last posted that is beauty-related. Today I'm here to tell you about this product that I've been using on most of the days, and have been using it instead of foundation. It's the Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream.  Now that it's winter here, my skin gets really dry so my skin have been breaking out like mad. And using foundation has seemed to make it worse probably because it block my pores due to the high coverage it has so I've been giving that a break at the moment cause I want my acne to go away. So I know there has been a lot of review about this product around, so I went to the drugstore and had a look at it and decided to get it. Why? Because of two reasons: a) It has Salicyclic acid AND SPF 15. b) A BB cream is a lighter coverage and easier to apply than foundation. It was £6.99 and it comes in 30mL. Here's how it looks on my skin: That is just one layer applied.  Verdict: It is

Daily Entry. Just one of those days where I feel urgh . I just wanted to cuddle up in bed, close out the world and just cry. Cry because of all the pain that has been bundled up inside and is waiting to come out, cry because I did my best every single day and I still feel its not good enough and cry because I feel bad for those who are still out there suffering.  I am grateful for what I have, and where I've come from but sometimes I wonder, did I just bring this all onto myself ? Did I ask to be hurt and feel the pain as such now?  I wonder because, I made the decisions and now I have to deal with the consequence. Is it because I'm a stubborn-head that makes me go against what people demand from me? Well, yes. Because I find somewhere deep inside me, there is someone waiting to come out, and that's why I decided to blog because sharing is something I love doing. Sharing my thoughts and ideas and inspiring people. Everyone told me 'Noo, it's not worth
