Beauty

Being beautiful is something that many girls desire to become. This section of my blog is focused on beauty tips, mind you, these are just tips. I believe every girl is beautiful in her own way, one does not have to be gorgeous in order to be beautiful. Remember girls, true beauty lies within.
With that being said, I also believe spending a few extra minutes to get ready can do wonders for your attitude and helps you embrace the day. So hopefully these helpful little tips will help you welcome your day! 

Tip #1: What Foundation Do You Use?

Foundation is one of the most beauty products that girls struggle with. The most frequently asked question girls ask is how do I know what type of foundation to use? Often times, I see girls with uneven skin colors (due to wrong choice in foundation). Today I am here to answer the question: How do I know what color foundation to wear?

1.) Go to a store that sells makeup and have the sales consultant test what type foundation best blends with your skin. A store that I go to is Ultra. This is the most important and helpful step.

2.) If buying foundation at Walmart or CVS, test the foundation on the back of your arm. Tip: the back of the arm is the same skin color as your face.

3.) When guessing, always go a shade lighter NOT darker. If you go darker, you will most likely be buying the wrong color.

Remember, if you buy the wrong foundation color, its okay! Go back to the store and try again! Once you know your right color foundation, you will have no more uneven skin tones and that awkward line on your face (girls you know what I am talking about). So try try again and don't give up!

Bare Minerals is an amazing beauty product that I suggest any girl should use. 

  • As being a college student I am constantly on the go and never have time to be back in the dorm, until at the end of the day. Since I am always busy, I need a makeup that is going last and help me throughout the day. Bare Minerals is that makeup for me. I wake up early in the morning, put it on, and by night time it looks fresh and looks like I just put it on. Which I absolutely love!
  • I know many of you are thinking, it is expensive and I do not want to waste my money if I do not like the product. I thought that way too! That is why it is nice that Bare Minerals provides a starter kit that is not expensive. My mom bought this starter kit (picture above) because it was on sale, it came to be $20. I think that is worth your money to give Bare Minerals a try!

Tip #3: Moisturize 

I just found out recently how important it is to wash your face twice-a-day. I learned this important fact at college. My college girlfriends were amazed that I didn't wash my face at all! I never thought it was  important and that people actually did this. I learned that even if you don't have acne or oily skin you still need to moisturize and wash your skin on a daily basis. 
Here are reasons why you need to wash your face:

1.) Gives Your Skin Hydration
Washing and moisturizing your face allows your skin to remain hydrated. I didn't know this, but at night our faces become dry from our raise in temperature, that is why it is so important to stay moisturized and hydrated! 

2.) Removes Dirt and Other Toxins
When you leave your makeup on it clogs your pores. Also when you leave your makeup on it results in irritating skin, acne, and oily/dryness in skin. It is important to clean your skin so it has time to breath and remain fresh. 

3.) Stay Young Forever
Research has proven that washing your skin makes you look younger. If you don't wash your face it can result in aging looking skin and wrinkles. 

After learning this I went and bought moisturizers. I've been washing my face for about two weeks now and I absolutely love the results! My face feels fresh, clean, and hydrated! 

If You Need Help Deciding What To Buy...Here are the products I use: 



  • Clean and Clear Morning Burst
