Make up 101: Make up Primers


Hello ladies! Today was supposed to be a wonderful sunny Wednesday but unfortunately it rained. Bummer. pft! but any who I hope you girls are safe! :)

Now lets proceed with today's make up 101. Most make up enthusiast - especially those that has fine lines and oily skin overlook this step: Make up Primers. 


What is a Make up Primer? 

Make up Primers are designed to smooth out the skin and also help it control oil production so our make up would not slide off or get erased easily. Most make up primers are made from waxes, polymers and silicone which actually binds the cosmetics together thus making them last a little longer. Make up Primers also help smooth out skin that has acne scars.

One great thing for make up primers is that they makes the skin a perfect canvas since make up will be more smooth when we apply it, our make up will also last longer. 

Primers come in different packages but always remember that when you are buying primers you have to check if you are okay with them since there are a lot of people allergic to silicone. Always check the packaging and the ingredients to see if the product has either polymers, wax, or silicone. 

If you don't know if you are allergic or not you can do a patch check in your wrist if you have an allergy or no allergies at all. 

I actually don't have any allergy towards silicone so I can use primers anytime I want to. I'll do reviews on some real soon! :)

Keep safe always and Much Love!

Natural skin care products, or as I prefer to call them these days Holistically-Natural skin care products are most definitely the only answer to responsible healthy skin care. Any effect achieved by synthetic product can be achieved using natural means, if you know how.

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
