My Skin Care Routine

























With Obagi-C Rx, you’re on your way to healthier, refreshed, revitalized skin from cell to surface. The Obagi-C Rx System offers the benefits of both prescription-strength 4% hydroquinone and potent Vitamin C to correct signs of skin damage and help restore and maintain younger-looking skin.


Obagi-C Rx System products are ideal if you have:
  • Minimal fine lines
  • Minimal unevenness of skin tone
  • Mild hyperpigmentation and minimal age spots
  • Intolerance to, or are not ready for, more aggressive anti-aging regimens
  • Dry, normal, oily, or even sensitive skin


Obagi-C Rx System C-Cleansing Gel
Prepares and conditions skin to optimize penetration of the system. Enhances skin clarity.

Obagi-C Rx System C-Exfoliating Day Lotion
Exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin to enhance penetration of active ingredients. Antioxidant activity neutralizes free radicals and prevents future damage. Option with sunscreen (SPF 12) also available.

Obaji-C Rx System C-Sun Guard SPF 30
Prevents premature aging from UVA/UVB radiation. Protects skin radiance.

Obagi-C Rx System C-Clarifying Serum
First and only 4% hydroquinone + Vitamin C serum with L-ascorbic acid Vitamin C. Penetrates the dermal layers to reduce melanosome activity while promoting more even skin tone and providing potent antioxidant therapy.  


Clarisonic
The Sonic Skin Cleansing System uses a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to clean, soften and smooth skin. In just 60 seconds, the brush gently, yet thoroughly removes 6X more makeup and 2X more dirt and oil than manual cleansing alone. Removing these impurities has been shown to allow a 61% better absorption of Vitamin C, and better prepares skin for other products.

NYX vs MAC / Haul from Hautelook

NYX eye shadow: Violetta
Nyx Blush: Mocha

Asalamu-alaikum Ladies

I just wanted to share my thoughts with you about NYX cosmetics.  I always heard about NYX but never bothered to buy them as i thought they were cheap in cost, so how can they be good in quality?  Recently when Hautelook had an amazing sale on NYX I decided to take advantage of this sale (and I am glad i did). I got my order from Hautelook last week and I was very pleased with the eye shadows and blushes.  They are highly pigmented to deliver intense color and they are not powdery at all.  They are easy to blend and are long lasting. I think the only difference between MAC and NYX is they are way cheaper in COST :)

With the popularity of this dynamic colour cosmetic line and outstanding prices, NYX is becoming one of the most up and coming cosmetic lines in North America.  In Canada you can find NYX at Rexall Pharmacy or purchase them online.

I would also like to get your opinion.  How would you compare them? Do you think they are somewhat similar or totally different? Which one would you purchase?  Feel free to share :)
Would I purchase NYX products again? YES :)
MAC single eye shadow: $18
NYX single eye shadow: $6.99
NYX @ hautelook - $3 
NYX Trio - $10.99 each
NYX Trio @ hautelook - $4.83

NYX Blush - $9.99
3 NYX Blushes @ hautelook - $11
The following items are ordered from Hautelook :)

2011 Winter/Fall Makeup Styles

2011 Makeup Styles

Lips Go Bold!
The lips, for a change, plan to get bright and vivacious in 2011. The colors, so chosen, will increase your sexiness and charisma. Lip color shades that are definitely in include red, orange, violet, and hot pink, as they will attract immense attention. To enhance your seductiveness, try out a matte version of any of these shades with a clean finish outline, using a lip pencil. How about wearing luscious lips by going just outside the lip line?



Go Natural!
Makeup artists just cannot get over this simple, elegant yet natural look. The year 2011 will yet again see women donning natural makeup due to its never-ending popularity. And why not, after all, natural makeup is the best way to create value to your natural beauty, without putting in much effort yet giving you a trendy and fabulous appearance. With subtle cheeks defined with a touch of blush, mascara on your eyelashes, and bare lips or natural looking lipstick, you are all set to move out and draw the much-needed attention.





Eyes Get Bright!
All you women having beautiful and gorgeous eyes, here is good news! You can enhance their attractiveness by adorning them up with some bold and bright eye makeup. Eye shadows include bold shades, such as orange, pink, green, and blue. These are must-try colors to enhance the beauty of your eyes and generate attention. However, make sure that you cover up your marks and bumps with concealer and foundation, as this makeup suits flawless skin the best. Cover your upper lashes with a black eyeliner and black mascara for your eyelashes. For lips, you can either leave them bare or heat them up with a red colored lipstick.

Smoke’s In Too!
Looks like the makeup industry just does not get tired of experimenting with smokey makeup! Reason being, smokey makeup is not only easy to apply, but great to look at and hence, fails to lose its beauty anytime. With just a few tips and tricks, you can easily master the art of applying smokey eye makeup. For a trendy and stylish look, go for black and gray eye shadow, while if you prefer enhancing and beautifying your eyes, opt for dark blue. Complement your eyes with highlighted cheekbones in shades of bronze, orange, caramel or chocolate.
