Makeup Monday- rainy day makeup tips

When it's raining and you're out and about its best to keep makeup simple so that it will withstand the elements. Here are 3 tips to rainy day makeup: 

1. Apply a tinted primer to help smooth out fine lines & add a little colour to even out skintone. 

2. Use a splash proof or water proof mascara to prevent mascara from running. 

3. Wear a bright lipstick to brighten up your face and complete the look. 

Skincare Saturday- deep cleansing back treatment

If you suffer from back acne, having a monthly back facial will help to purify breakout-prone skin. This treatment helps to relax the muscles, extract blackheads and comedones, and combat breakouts. 

Using Dermalogica's MediBac range helps to calm irritation, but control acne without compromising the skin's integrity with ingredients like licorice to aid sebum regulation and sooth inflammation. 

The dual exfoliation process combines lactic & salicylic acids which gently detach surface cells and stimulate cell renewal with bromelain & papain to digest dead skin cells leaving the skin smooth and refined. 

Then after extractions a deep-cleansing clay masque will help to purify the skin and absorb excess oil with bentonite and kaolin which will refine pores and clear congestion. 

Using products that are specially designed for acne addresses the four main contributors- overactive sebaceous glands, cell accumulation, bacteria and inflammation. 

By having a regular back purification treatment the area that's hard to reach will be cleansed, polished, hydrated and refreshed! 

Trial Tuesday- LiLash Update Week 1

One week into using the American LiLash serum and the results are fantastic! This serum boosts hair growth and strengthens the individual lashes. My eyelashes have never been this long!

I've also been trialling LiBrow by applying the serum every evening onto my eyebrows. I haven't noticed much difference in my brows, but I don't feel I need to put as much colour on them. 

This is the result after 1 week of applying LiLash and LiBrow every evening. 

The pictures are taken in different bathrooms, but my eyebrows appear slightly darker and I've noticed my eyelashes have lengthened!
