Getting rid of white heads

Hello Beauties<3

Do you have this little annoying white heads that pop up from time to time and you don't know what they are or how to get rid of them?

I do, and i never use any special products to get rid of them. If you have sensitive skin or when touching your face it gets irritated easily, I would NOT recommend this. But if your not afraid to try different things then please keep reading!

What are white heads? ;  Whiteheads, also known as closed comedones, are follicles that are filled with the same material, but have only a microscopic opening to the skin surface. Since the air cannot reach the follicle, the material is not oxidized, and remains white. 

So when i see a white head which just looks like a white dot on your face, i wait until the white dot looks close to the top of my skin to get rid of it. Now they next thing i do may sound scary and looks like it hurts, it does not, because i hate pain!

Step 1. I take a sewing pin (and make sure it is PROPERLY disinfected, cleaning it with 90% alcohol works perfectly) 

Step 2. I then take the pin a carefully prick the top layer of my skin right on the white at creating a small opening for the white head to come out. (DON'T WORRY IT DOES NOT HURT)

Step 3. Then i lightly squeeze around the white head and squeeze until it comes out of the opening

Step 4. Taking clean disinfected tweezers and carfully take the white head off the area and your done!

Your skin will be red in the area you took the white head out of but in a couple hours it will be back to normal! Like i said, if you have sensitive skin or are afraid because your skin may react, I do NOT recommend this for you.

Products I regret buying

Hello Beauties<3

Following me on twitter? BeautyCJANINE

So as November comes to an end, i wanted to do products i regret buying post just in case you were thinking of getting some of these!

CONTINUE READING!

Products pictured;

Micheal Todd Cosmetics (can't remember what this palette was called) -- but you could find it on his website. As you can see in the picture part of it broke... and i have barley used it?! and this ran for 50.00$?! The colors are pretty nice from a far but when swatched there was barley any pigment. and the blush was SUPER shimmer and very powdery. So this was a complete miss!

NYX Round Lipstick (Athena) -- So i got a bunch of NYX round lipsticks a while ago but just started to test this color out and it was not what i was expecting. It has a pearl finish and it comes off as a super light shimmery pink shade, which i do not care for in lipsticks, but maybe you do! It is still super creamy, but just not for me.

 ELF cream blush (heart breaker) -- I was really excited to try ELF's cream blush, because i rarely use cream blushes. But i was disappointed in the application. It has a weird "foam" like feeling, if that makes sense, and when i applied it and blended it as you can see in the picture chunks of product were left behind? weird. Pigmentation was good, but not a good cream blush.

Lancome mini eye shadow set -- Well theres not much to say since i couldn't even swatch them because there was no pigment!! I was expecting a lot from lancome and for the price i thought they would be amazing e/s. It comes with 2 matte colors (white/tan color and taupe brown) and 2 shimmer colors (pink and black) the only one that was OK was the pink shimmery one, but i would never use it. SO this was a miss

Annebelle Smudge Paint (Skyline) -- I thought this was going to be amazing! (I didn't purchase this, it was in my November Glymm Box) I tried to use it as an eye liner because thats one of the uses for this, but it barley showed its true color as it shows in a swatch. I was really hoping to love this because i love the blue color! It runs for 10.95$ but i would not go purchase another color!

Review: Orlane light smoothing cream

Hello Beauties<3

So recently i got a sample of the Orlane light smoothing cream in my November glymm box and i have been using it for the past 4 days.The sample was that i received was super tiny but has lasted me 4 days and i use it morning at night before my makeup.

Sample size

Full size

So what is this product? ; This exceptional product is adapted to the eye contour to rehabilitate the skin’s natural defense mechanisms to protect against wrinkles. It provides a dual anti-wrinkle action that acts deep down where wrinkles begin, and on the skin’s surface to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The eye contour immediately appears smoother and more structured, and the face is left with a more youthful expression.

What it does? ; Stimulates cellular energy, regenerates, smooths, firms, and moisturizes (B21 Bio-Energic Plant-Based Complex). Instantly smooths (Plant tensor). Reprograms the skin’s anti-wrinkle memory, helps fine lines and wrinkles to disappear

Now, i haven't used this product long enough to say it helps fine lines and wrinkles disappear and i don't have wrinkles so i couldn't comment on that aspect, BUT I would never spend more than 20.00$ on a moisturizer, but after trying this, my skin feels so smooth and refreshed and brightens up my face, there is a slight scent but it is a nice refreshing scent i find. For a 50ml jar of this product goes for around 80.00$, yes extremely pricey, but i think i may cave and spend the 80$ cause its just that good!

Gold smokey eye

Hello Beauties<3

I love this eye makeup look i did for my sister, it can be worn with anything! Very versatile. Read below for steps to re-create this look

Steps to re-create this eye look

1.  Eye shadow primer (UD Primer potion)
2. Using a fluffy blending brush add a soft brown shadow into the crease and blend (MAC soft brown or Coastal Scents M16)
3. Use a flat shader brush and pack on a soft gold shadow on the inner half of the lids (Coastal Scents S29 & S03 together)
4. Using a pencil brush in the inner corners apply a highlight color (Naked by UD)
5. Using a blending brush apply a matte brown and soft black on the outer V and blend up in the crease and into the soft gold shadow creating a "smokey" effect (MAC Espresso & 39 soft black shadow from the body shop)
6. Go back with your fluffy blending brush and the soft brown shadow and blend, blend, blend out harsh lines
7. Add a highlight on your brow bone (Naked by UD)
8. Line your eye with black eye liner
9. add mascara and/or false eye lashes

 If you re-create this look send me pictures, i would love to see!!

Review: sun labs self tanning lotion

Hello beauties<3

I am sure everyone has seen or heard about these self tanning lotions either on blog spot or on youtube, but i thought i would share my experience anyways... I purchased the one in "medium" because i am super pale and it is winter so i did not want to look overly tanned.

I have been using this cloth to apply the tanning lotion instead of gloves

No it does not color you this color

I am normally ghostly white so there is a huge difference!

This is by far the best tanning lotion i have come across, even spray tans can't compete, this lotion leaves you tanned not orange. It lasts about 4 days even with showering and using soap, but i do apply after having a shower so this bottle probably wont last me too long! It doesn't have that "self tan" smell, but once it drys it does smell a little, but nothing too bad! It runs for about 18.00$ for an 8 ounce bottle, but if you click here it will take you to sun labs website and you can get combo packs at a great deal! OR look on amazon for some good deals (where i bought mine) The exfoliant that is green looking gel smells a little like tea tree oil, but does do an excellent job creating a smooth application when applying your self tanning lotion.
