Beauty Multitaskers: Yay or Nay?

Beauty Multitaskers

Time is a precious commodity. We don’t seem to have enough of it these days. What little time we do have for ourselves, we use it for rest and sleep. When I first started working, I’d wake up very early in the morning to get my “game face” on. It was early days of course because come a year or two later, haha forget it. I’d push the boundaries of the snooze button on my alarm clock (those were pre-smartphone days when I still literally had to use a small alarm clock) just to get more sleep. That “game face” still stayed the same but what changed was the use of what I called beauty multitaskers. I could still get my “game face” on with less products and less time.

Less time used to create the “game face” = more time to sleep. WIN. 😛

L’Oreal Nude Magique Blur Cream: Yet Another Blur Cream?

L'Oreal Nude Magique Blur Cream

Yes folks, I’m writing about another blur cream today. To be honest, I don’t know why I keep writing about them because they do essentially the same thing: blur out the pores and imperfections and giving your skin a velvety smooth finish. I think I’m going to stop with all these blur creams for now until there’s a ground-breaking one because again, they’re pretty much all the same.

Do you know that to date, L’Oreal has 3 blur creams? I’m quite baffled at necessity of having 3 in the brand even though they marketed for different ranges (Nude Magique, Revitalift and Skin Perfection). The results are exactly the same. Texture? Yep, they’re the same. They’re suitable for all skin types too.

It’s all in the marketing, isn’t it?

Happy hump day, folks!

Today, I have a quick and easy tip on checking the use of our images on any other websites than our own. By quick and easy, well, the checking part is easy. Having to go through all of the images that you want to check? That’s going to be the tedious bit.

But fret not! You don’t have to check every image of every post if you don’t want to. I certainly don’t because really, who has the time? What I like to do is do a random check of images in

Beauty Tip: Clear Out Your Eye Booger After Eye Makeup Removal

Clear Out Your Eye Booger After Eye Makeup Removal

© vladimirfloyd

Eye booger. Eye crud. Eye poo. Eye shit. Eye wax. Or, the proper term? Rheum. We all have it. Some more than others. I’d be the one who has a lot more, especially after I started wearing contact lenses. I’m also the one whose mother would publicly announce “Girl, you have a lot of eye shit. Get rid of them please!“. I’m 34 years old, ladies and gentlemen, and my mother still tells me to do that. In public.

Fun times, people. Fun times. 😛

Anyway … right, back to the eye booger, which is what I’ll refer to them in this post. Just wondering, when you wear lots of mascara and eyeliner, do you notice an increase in eye booger after makeup removal? I don’t know about you but I sure do. The thing is, it’s not just an increase in wet eye booger, they’re often dark and not the usual light colour. What they are are bits of trapped mascara and eyeliner residue.
