3 Essential Oils That Are Extremely Healthy For You
Three wonderfully healthful essential oils are peppermint, lavender and clove. These essential oils are power-packed with healthy properties. Peppermint essential oil is a favorite among those that need an extra boost of energy. Lavender essential oil can do so much more than relieve stress at the end of a long day.

ALLERGY TESTED
SUITABLE FOR ACNE PRONE SKIN
Price: Rs.250/- for 10g
How to use: Swipe BB Stick on your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.
Blend in an outward direction towards hairline and jawline using quick, short strokes.
Finally, you could also apply a little Kajal and Lip Balm for a great natural look.
Available in 2 shades:
1.Radiance (Fair)
2. Fawn (Medium)
Maybelline BB Stick comes in a swivel twist up packaging with a plastic cap..comes in 2 shades..Radiance for fairer skin tones and Fawn for medium to dark..Fawn is a little darker and yellower for me..Fawn would suit skin tones NC 40 and above..I have not checked out Radiance..so I am not sure how light it is..but I heard its ashy and does not have yellow undertones.
Thats the whole qty
It needs to be swiped around all over the face in 2-3 strokes..nose, forehead, area around the mouth, cheeks, jawline and neck..and blended using fingers in outward direction..either you can use it directly from the stick..or if you have acne prone skin or tend to share makeup, take it on your clean fingers and apply and blend away.
The first time I used this..I did not like it much..2nd day I liked it..3rd day I liked it even more..actually the longer time you wear this you will love it more..coz it keeps the skin matte and shine free..and gives a nice glowy effect and cuts the dullness from the face…plus gives decent coverage..and looks better after a few hours.
It gives medium coverage and covers redness, dark circles, etc well..but acne scars would need concealer above it..keeps the skin matte..mine is combination and I did not feel the need to use a powder or even touch up..coz skin looked the same and shine free..
It has SPF21 and Salicylic acid..so sun protection plus good for acne prone skin..it is so easy to carry anywhere..and use just with your fingers..
Here is it..unblended and blended..
Pros:
1. Gives medium coverage.
2. Easy to use and carry along.
3. Blends easily with fingers..and effortless to use anywhere.
4. Has SPF 21 PA+++
5. Keeps skin shine and oil free for 5-6 hours.
6. Stays all day long..and looks better by the end of the day.
7. Gives a nice glow to the skin and cuts out dullness from the face.
8. Salicylic acid helps heal acne..so good for acne prone skin too.
9. Reduces the appearance of pores.
10. Cost effective at Rs.250/- and 10g is a good qty too..this would last long..unlike the very less qty of the BB cream.
Cons:
1. Accentuates dry patches..dry skin would need a very heavy moisturiser before using this..
2. Radiance is light and Fawn is dark..most of us fall in between..there should have been minimum 4 shades launched in this.
Overall I quite liked this..I only need to use a good moisturiser underneath it..and I would have loved it more, if I had a shade that would have matched correctly..but nonetheless..it does blend in like second skin..but just a little yellower and darker.
I surely recommend this..if you around NC 40-42..this would quite suit you..and if you oily skinned..grab this now..

Have you tried the Maybelline BB Stick? Do you like it ?
We have time and again read and heard about how important sunscreen is..check this post for the harmful effects of the sun on our skin. It ages the skin unbelievably fast.
Now we cannot be 100% safe and protected..but what we can do is atleast use a good broad spectrum sunscreen.
You may even skip a moisturiser, but never a sunscreen. One should use a sunscreen according to their skin types, like gel based for oily skin or a lotion or a thicker texture for dry skin.
Some believe we do not need a sunscreen when indoors..even though we are indoors there are UVA rays passing through everything though in lesser amounts, be it your PC or laptop screens or tubelights or windows,etc..we should use a SPF 30 sunscreen atleast once a day even though indoors.
Sun blocks and sunscreens are used interchangeably..there is no such thing that can block sun rays..its just a way to market.
And lastly higher SPF does not denote more protection. SPF i.e Sun Protection Factor only denotes the time we can spend exposed to sun. Eg : If a person gets tanned in 10 minutes in the sun without sunscreen, SPF 30 would protect him for 30*10=300 minutes and SPF 50 for 50*10=500 minutes, after which he would need to reapply the sunscreen.
So never ever skip a sunscreen..cover up, wear your shades and lather up on the sunscreen before stepping out this summers..
Airbrush makeup is makeup sprayed onto the skin using an airbrush instead of being applied with sponges, brushes, fingers, or other methods. It is popular in film, theater, and sunless tanning; although systems designed for personal cosmetic use in the home are also available.
Very thin layer of foundation is used, which is layered again and again untill a flawless smooth base is achieved.
More often for the red carpet appearances, celebrities have been buffed to perfection with thin layers of foundation applied skillfully through a flick of their makeup artists’ wrist using spray on makeup.
Traditional powder or liquid based make-up can settle and appear in pores and wrinkles and be visible on HD film. As the makeup is sprayed on, it connects with the skin as millions of droplets of formula.The formula can create an even, sheer, natural appearance to the skin that, if applied properly for a natural look, can appear natural and non-heavy like traditional makeup. Airbrush makeup wears longer than traditional powder or liquid foundation, able to stay put upwards of 12–24 hours.
Airbrush makeup is also available for eye shadow, blush, eyebrows and lips and can be layered, shaded, highlighted and contoured. Application wise, the technique is more sanitary than traditional makeup application due the artist never having to touch the skin. It’s also faster, if done by a trained artist.
An airbrushing gun shaped like a pen is used..and few drops of liquid foundation especially made for airbrush is used matching your skintone which is then sprayed in layers all over the face covering the whole face.
Airbrush makeup is applied by layering several passes of makeup. This allows the artists to build upon previous layers to produce subtle changes. When applying foundation between 6-12 drops of makeup is used. The makeup is sprayed onto the face at a distance of 6-12 inches
