Review: Clinique Turnaround - 15 Minute Facial mask

Few months ago I bought Super Defense cream from Clinique and I received also the Clinique Turnaroud 15 minute facial for free. I didn’t knew anything about this mask at that time but I wanted to try it out anyway. From the first usage I was impressed with the results, and I say this in the good way.

facial-mask-300x227 Review: Clinique Turnaround - 15 Minute Facial mask

The texture was kind of sticky and the cream color is light blue. After 15 minutes while the mask was on my face, I saw the difference. I was impressed by its anti-ageing results as I saw that fine lines were diminished. My skin was vibrant, had also a radiant look and it felt so soft and smooth. I couldn’t believe how after only few minutes the minor imperfections of the skin, as red spots or small signs from pimples were completely gone.

How to get a new look if you have short hair

img_3129-112x150 How to get a new look if you have short hairIf you have fairly short, baby-fine hair and you can never think of anything to do with it I found some ideas that maybe will help you get a new look without changing so much.

True colors

jemma-120x150 True colorsThere are two tricks to make bright makeup work for anyone. If you’re pale, stick to sheer washes of color. If not, use a punchy shade in just one area of the face, like your eyes or lips. When condition are humid and sizzling, work with the heat, don’t fight it. Avoid waterproof products - they’re a pain to take off!. Instead, choose cream formulations that blend into the skin and give a glow. The result will be sexily smudgy.

To create the blue eyes, warm a sea-blue eye pencil between your hands, the apply it to the back of your hand. Dipp in an eyeshadow brush ( a cotton bud works, too) and smudged the color along the top and bottom lash lines. Lips and cheeks got a simple wash of shimmery pale pink - doing this will ensure all eyes are on you. Continue reading ‘True colors’

Why it’s cool: Long hair haphazardly pinned into a bob was a huge hit at the Luella summer catwalk show. The beauty of this style is that as well as enjoying the look and feel of a short crop, you can tuck scraggy hair ends out of sight to protect them from sun damage.

How to do it: Start by spritzing a blow dry spray into your damp hair, such as Shu Uemura Art of Hair Liquid Fabric which gives volume as well as healthy shine. Let the spray dry naturally or roughly blow-dry your hair to create some texture. Now gather your hair at the ends and tie with a band. Gently start to roll hair under towards the nape and, when you reach the neck, fix it in place with some ribbed hair grips, like Boots Wavy Hair Pins for Thick Hair. Let a few wispy pieces escape for a soft effect and mist your finished style with an anti-humidity hairspray, like Therapi Frieze Fixx.
