Beauty and The Best... top 5 Pick!

Ladies time for my Top 5 Beauty Must Haves.

1. A jar of POND'S COLD CREAM  in Green.

The easiest way to remove the most stubborn make-up known to human. It is dermatologist tested, won't clog pores, suitable to sensitive skin and hypoallergenic. This is the holy grail of face cleansing regimen, with or with out make up. Leaves skin soft and supple. Your lola/ granny can attest to that!


2.  A bottle of NEUTRAGENA BODY OIL.

This product is best used after a shower, while the skin is still damp, spread this oil all over the body to lock in the moisture to your body. Also good way of preventing hang nails. just dab a little amount over the cuticle of your finger nails.
Quick tip :
 Transfer a little portion to a clean atomizer for  easier application.


3. SHU UEMURA Eyelash Curler

This simple machine can do so much to the beauty of the eye. It curls the lashes perfectly... when used correctly. It's a holy grail amongst make-up artists. One should save up for this, in the name of vanity. It is worth every cents. You may try using one from Shu Uemura stores just to get the feel of what it does to the lashes.
Quick tip:
Even with out make up, you can get away with just curling the lashes, and putting on some mascara to brighten and open the eyes.

4.  GREAT LASH mascara by MAYBELLINE

Mascara can be tricky. But this one, is just so easy to use, and produce a very good result. Cheap but good quality. Everyone must have this in their vanity list!







5.  CLEAN & CLEAR Oil Absorbing Paper

I believe in  a saying that " Oiliness is next to Ugliness". Oil should be in a machine, not on someone's face. When ever you feel like you're face is wet and greasy, grab some of these. It absorbs the oil with out disturbing the make-up underneath. It's a girls best friend next to Diamond.


These are my Top 5 picks for February. I'd be posting every month for your vanity list. :)

RE PURPOSED (Jars)

I usually buy those sinful cheese dips in a jar. And also when it's empty already, I wash and store it. Suddenly I realized, I have a drawer full of it. I cant just throw it away. What to do???

RE PURPOSE !

This jar can be use as a container of sooo many things that can fit in it. And I have a very nice idea on how to use it. 

 Remove the cover.

 Clean jar with soap and water. 

 Put in a  big bowl. Boil 1 part vinegar and 10 parts water. Pour over the glass jar carefully.

It will help loosen the label on the jar, remove unwanted odor and sanitize the jar.

Leave until the liquid is cool to touch. 

Remove the label carefully. Clean glue residue with oil.

Again wash with soap and water. Let air dry.

Meanwhile, wash the cover with soap and water.

Dry and spray with paint color that you like.

Wear protective glove when doing this. 

Prepare working surface by putting old newspaper on it. 

Put the cover on it and spray paint left to right starting from 2-3" before the cover itself to reduce bubble formations.

 

If you have lots of jars like this, you may take it to another level by categorizing it by colors.

Like this finish product here. I color it matte black because these jars carries cotton balls and swabs that I use for my make-up. The other colors that I have are sky blue for kids bathroom, white for mine.

Also planning on re purposing those Gerber baby food jars into spice bottles.

Gatorade glass bottles can be use to serve refreshments like iced tea lemonade and soda. Just use smaller ice cubes and a straw when serving.

 Possibilities are endless!
