Biore

I know I praise Pro Active like its the thing to do, but the truth is proactive doesn't work for everybody. In fact, I'm the only person I know that it actually does work for.

However, a product line that is more versatile is; Biore. This line is perfect for people who have large pores and don't feel like dishing out hundreds of dollars to get results.

My Favorites include:
Face wipes

Moisturizer

Face wash

If you have all of these products your good to go. They help to reduce the appearance of my pores by cleaning them out wonderfully. [note: that your pore size can never permanently be reduced, but I'll take what I can get!]
Tip:
Its also really helpful if you get a face scrubber or something like that. It makes it easier to loosen dirt and unclog pores. Another plus is that your skin will feel like silk afterward.

Question

So for this blog I will be asking a question. So this post obviously won't work if I dont get any feedback:)
Also I am really curious. The product Im wondering about:

Zeno
Have any of you guys used this before? I was thinking about buying one but before I put out my money Id like to hear some more reviews.
-THANK YOU for any feedback.

This Seasons Makeup Look

Are any of you guys as worried about what kind of makeup to wear for spring that would also be perfect for summer as well? Yea? I thought so.

I have found, and tested the most flawless/natural looking makeup you can possible go for this season. You know, the kind that makes you glow for the whole day, but not with all that glitter. And yes, it is Bobbi Brown.

-First we take a look at coverage. You don't want to look cakey or overdone, so the perfect solution this season is:

Bobbi Browns Tinted Moisturizer
"SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer is the perfect alternative to foundation for a more casual look. Perfect for Normal to Dry skin types. This tint of natural-looking color combined with sun protection blends smoothly over skin, and moisturizes while providing lightweight, comfortable, sheer coverage."

-Next we take a look at blush. What kind of blush goes great with sheer coverage? Sheer blush:

Bobbi Browns Top Rated Sheer Color Cheek Tint $22
"Get flushed cheeks with a sheer tint of natural-looking color. The translucent, lightweight formula glides on and blends evenly onto skin. Comes in a swivel-up stick for portability, convenient and easy application. Available in six shades. "
[note: a better color for this season is called sheer mauve, not pictured above]

-Last we take a look at that perfect glow-from-within trick:

Bobbi Browns Pink Quartz Shimmer Brick $38
"This shimmering, brush-on powder creates a soft, warm pink glow. Works well with neutral and pink blush shades.To apply: Sweep the Face Blender Brush through all five shades of Shimmer Brick Compact and dust lightly on cheekbones after blush. Focus on applying shimmer on the top of cheekbones - where light naturally hits the face - for the most flattering look."

And that completes the perfect skin look for this season and on into the next!
-have a good day,gigi

Can Too Much Exercise Make You Gain Weight?

I love to run. Period. During my first years of college the only place you could find me was at the track. I ran at the track, I ate at the track, I hung out at the track, I brought my bunny to the track, I skipped class to be at the track! I think its alright to assume that i was a junkie [Hey, it could be something way worse right?]

During breaks I didn't run nearly as much because I lived in a city. There were hardly any open tracks or parks nearby and I hated going to the gym. I felt a little more sluggish and i barely had the appetite to eat more than a few bites. Everybody always complained about how rail thin I was, and that i should just eat more.

It was different at school, even though I ran non-stop i was a healthy weight, my body fat was within the "lean" percentile, and i had a healthy appetite.

This observation led me to speculate on some reasons why, and the only thing that seemed to correlate directly was the time i spent running. It seemed that running is what gave me an appetite, and according to Registered dietitian Keri Glassman, I wasn't too far off.

"1. Exercise makes you hungrier, causing you to eat more.2. Exercise causes feelings of entitlement. You may want to reward yourself because you worked out so hard at the gym.3. Exercise does not burn that many calories. Couple that fact with being hungrier and you may eat more calories than you burned."

So should we stop Exercising? No. Like any exercise regime, nutrition plays a big role in how we loose weight, or stay fit. You cant do one without the other.

The point is too much of a good thing could be bad

Eye Brows

Some of us are born with great eye brows, but most of us have to make it happen. I had the craziest eye brows when i was a little girl [thanks dad] and as soon as i was able to, i made them razor thin. as i got older i realized that i should embrace a normal, natural eyebrow line. Fortunately for me i hadn't done any permanent damage.
If, however, you think you have too thick, or too thin eye brows then there are always tricks to get the look you want. But remember, the closer to natural = the closer to beautiful.

Lets start with shape:
-The Most perfect eye brow is long enough to stretch from the outside of your nose to the inside corner of the eye. [Draw an imaginary line]
-Its important to measure from your nose because eyebrows structure your whole face, not just your eyes.
*tip: when you tweeze, start from below the arch, and tweeze alittle at a time to avoid major mistakes.

Filling in:
- if your eye brows are too thin then you can go over them with a pencil [make sure its the same color as natural]
-Layer powder over it [make sure the powder only touches the hairs, not the skin]
-Use a brow brush to comb in place.

Too thick and Unruly
-shape your eyebrows into a natural shape
-brow gel and combs are your best friends

Smokey Eye

The smokey eye is probably one of the sexiest techniques for eye makeup, and every gal should have it mastered.
So today we will talk about how to create the perfect smokey eye:

Step 1: Cover the entire eyelid with white shadow, or base. [preferable nothing sparkly]

Step 2: Cover the lower lid, and 3 quarters the way up of the upper lip with a medium shade [layer as much as you want]

Step 3: Darken color at the crease of your eye and along the edges. [blend with finger or tool, don't just have medium color to dark, let the colors flow into each other]

Step 4: Line top and bottom with whatever formula you feel comfortable with, and extend the line just a little bit to create a "wing". [smudge line with finger or tool for a more natural, smokey look]

Heres an exert from Women's Health Magazine:

"Men are drawn to the most feminine looking faces. A shocker we know. But a new study in the journal perception helps level the playing field. Turns out, woman's eyelids are darker than the rest of the face, so the greater the contrast, the more feminine the woman appears."

-what better to do this than the smokey eye?

-master this ladies, it'll do ya good.

Food for the Skin

Back to skin! as you can see this is one of my favorite topics. But today we are going to actually incorporate "health" into "health and beauty". We will be talking about the foods that keep our skin in tip top shape.

Our skin works hard to protect us, is it too much to ask to keep it beautiful? Lets help our skin along by making sure to eat the foods that will benefit it. when our skin is happy, we're happy.

" Remember to look for the 'ACE' vitamins: A to help prevent aging, C to promote clarity, and E to protect against the environment." (bobbi brown)

Vitamin A:

Carrots have a good amount of vitamin A, and so do melons.

Vitamin C

We all think of oranges when we hear vitamin C, but Strawberries, peppers, and grapefruits have a great amount also.

Vitamin E

Your leafy greens are aboundant in this, and so are nuts.

-Another important nutrient for your skin is fat. Healthy fat is not only essential for your skin, but for almost every other part of your body.Some great ways to get good fats are avocados, and the essential omega 3 fats in fish.

A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that evaluated the diets of over 1000 people found that "Those who ate a weekly serving of oily fish (such as Salmon or Sardines) developed 28 percent fewer potentially cancerous skin lesions" So be sure to pick up a nice piece of salmon fillet next time you hit the grocery store.

I probably dont even need to mention that vitamin D is also essential for you skin. the best form of VItamin D will always be a healthy amount of sun, but dairy products have lots in them too. Remember that vitamin D and calcium go hand in hand.

Hope this helps you all get the nutrient you need for you skin so you can have beautiful skin forever!-gigi

Makeup For Beginners [part 5]

LIPS

The last if the series for beginner makeup is probably the easiest, especially if your trying to look natural.

Natural=Nude

If you don't want to go completly bare and just glide on some chapstick [which by the way ladies look even better more often than not] then check out some nude lipstick or gloss.

Application:
Tips: try to get a color that matches your lips already, or at least does not clash with your blush.

-start with lip liner that matches the gloss or lipstick, line the upper and lower lips [bring the line down more on the top lip.
-fill in the lips with the liner
-apply gloss, or lipstick to the lips with brush or other tool.
-wipe the edges

Thats it!

Recomend:

Bobbi browns nude rich color lip gloss $18 at bobbibrowncosmetics.com
Rich Color Lip Gloss offers triple benefits: the full color coverage of a lipstick, the soft shine of a gloss, and the luxurious feel of a balm. Moisturizes, conditions, and lasts throughout the day without feathering. Doe foot applicator applies color smoothly and evenly. Available in 8 shades including pale, neutral, deep, and bright options.

Makeup for Beginners [part 4]

Whats next in the Makeup for beginners series?

THE EYES
TO me, doing my eye makeup is the most fun part of my makeup routine. When eye makeup is put on well it should make your eyes stand out and shine.

For beginners there are three basic parts to eye makeup:
1.Liner
2.Shadow
3.Mascara

Liners
Again, like everything else there are tons of diferent formulas available for eyel liner. I'll just start off by telling you my favorite, and by now i think youd know at least what brand that is:

Bobbi Brown's Gel eyeliner in black ink. [$22 at bobbi brown cosmetics.com]
-this is really the truest black i have evr seen and that might be because it is in gel form. If your going to use this gel eyeliner i highly recomend getting the ultra fine eyeliner brush. [$25 at bobbi brown cosmetcs.com]

These two go hand in hand and will create the most perfect black line.

Tip:
-use alone for a sold black line or go over it with black shadow for a smudgier smokier look.

Shadows:
The formula you want for your eyeshadow would depend on how long you want you shadow to last. but for everyday natural looks powder, matte formulas are just fine.
-Use a light color first across entire eye lid [up to the brow line also], make sure to cover the inner corner of the eye too.
-Then contour eyes with a medium color along the crease of your eye lids.
-And if you want, a darker color at the corners.

Tips:
Highlighting the eyes will make you eyes stand out on any ocassion. use a light shade of shimmery something along the brow line and inner corners to complete a dewy look.

Mascara:
Mascara application is pretty basic if your just wanting to go for a more natural look.
-Start at the outer edges and work your way in.
-Make sure you separate them as you go along to avoid random clumped areas.
-Clean off any mascara before it dries.

Hope this helps all you beginners, the last of the makeup for beginners series is this tuesday. We will be talking about the lips. Then we get serious!

Make up For Beginners [part 3]

Whats the next step for a flawless skin appearance? Blush.

Not everybody uses blush, or they use a bronzer in place of it [or vice versa]. But for those of you who want to avoid looking like a clown, read on.

Blush also comes in a wide array of formulas; powders, creams, stains, tints, gels and my personal fave, pot rouge. And depending on your desired look, any one of these can work. The hard part is choosing the right color, and applying it in the right way.


Tip: If you already have bronzer on do not use another shade similar in clor. This will end up making your face look dirty.


To find your perfect blush color note the color of your cheeks after you finish working out [or pinch them] Try to get a sclose to this color as possible for a more natural look natural look.


Application: Alot of people like to make the "fish face" when applying blush. I dont particularly like the way it turns out when that is done. I think a more accurate way is to just smile, and apply the blush on the apples of your cheeks blending upward towards your hairline.

-Want to know my fave type of blush and color?

Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge For Lips And Cheeks: Blushed Rose [a brown pink] seriously, get it.

$22 at bobbibrowncosmetics

SInce my skin is alittle on the dryer side, this creamy formula is perfect! I dont think i could live with out this stuff. And since its pot rougue, you can put it on your cheeks and lips, so you never have to worry about clashing!

Simple enough? of course.

Make-Up For Beginners [Part 2]

Today we will be talking about Bronzers and Self Tanners.

We all want that healthy sunkissed glow, but without the harmful effects of overexposure. However like all other beauty products, THERE ARE SO MANY OUT THERE! Who wants to waste their money over and over again on a product that just looks too fake. The key to a healthy looking tan is moderation. You want your tan to always look natural, so if you naturally have alabaster skin then you don't need to be deep bronzing it. And we all know that orange=bad.

My skin is a little on the lighter side, but i do have somewhat of a natural tannish glow [thanks mom!] But during the winter months it can start to get a little dull. spf makeup can also aid in a more paler face than the rest of the body.

Bronzer Tips for Skin Tones:
Fair Skin: do not use shade of brown or gold, rather use peachy shimmery shades. This actually ends up looking 100% more natural than if you were to use a deeper shade, plus it looks amazing!
Medium Skin: this is my skin. And what ive found to look ultra natural is brownish pink tones. Medium skin tones can get away with a little bit more brown and golden tones than fair skin tones, but still be careful not to overdo it!
Dark Skin: I honestly dont see the need to add any extra color to these skin tones, you should be so grateful! But i understand those winter months when you need that extra bit of warmth to pull you through. I recommend a brownish red for this skin type.

Tip: Don't just apply bronzer to your face, also apply to your neck and blend into hairline to avoid the "mask" look

Like foundation, there are so many different types of bronzer formula's to choose from. They come in either a matte look, or shimmery look. I personally think that a more flat look is more natural, although shimmery is nice for special occasion. They come in powders, creams, sprays, lotions etc. My personal favorite is gel form. It does not cake, and looks alot more natural than other forms i have used, plus it stays. But beware beginners! you definitely have to practice before you go out in public. Gel bronzers are a little on the harder side to blend. A quick tip is to put as little as you can on t first, if its not enough you can always add a layer.

I have found two of the most perfect bronzers in my quest for perfection, its gonna take a breakthrough to knock them out of first place:
#1 we have [of course] Bobbi brown All Over Bronzing Gel SPF 15

Bobbi's unique gel-based bronzer instantly gives the face a healthy, natural-looking glow with the added benefit of sun protection. Depending on desired effect, blend bronzer all over face or where the sun naturally hits - forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin.
To use: Apply to face, one area at a time, blending quickly and evenly. Wash hands immediately after applying. To remove from face, simply use your regular cleanser. Not a self-tanner, so it washes off easily like other makeup.
-This stuff is seriously amazing! it looks very natural, and theres no commitment:)

#2 is RAW and Minerals warm glow

This stuff is pretty amazing also, its not even half as hard to put on as Bobbi brown's and you still get that fab glow.

Now lets talk about self tanners.

These can be extremely tricky, especially for beginners. Most tanners end up having you look like an orange peel, even though they say otherwise. It is important to remember that crucial word; Moderation. Its easy for some people to get addicted to tanning because they love the new color that is now on their skin. All too many times i have seen beautiful girls walk around with the most horrible, overdone self tan. And yes, it is that obvious.

I have only one product that i would like to recommend in this area, although i will be reviewing a lot more in the future [you can never look enough right?] I'll be sure to tell you all if i find a better one, but this one is gold! its easy to apply, and the result look super.
-Clarins Delicious Self Tanning Cream
-This stuff works magic for fair-medium skin, and it smells delicious:)

Hope this article helped you guys on your search for the perfect sunkissed skin! What do you think?

Make Up for Beginners [part 1]

So I know what you all are thinking; Damn Gi, we’ve been talking about skin for the past 3 blogs! But the truth is skin is [obviously] VERY crucial to your overall appearance. And yea not all of us are blessed with great skin, so even better to talk about how to get it right? When you are confident with your skin, everything else seems to look and feel right; from what you’re wearing , to the color of your lipstick.

So, 2 more consecutive blogs about skin and then we get to play with different things. [This does not mean that we will never talk about skin again of course] In this blog we will be talking about make-up for beginners; we will mostly be talking about foundation again, and more comprehensive blogs will be done about tools, shadows, liners, blush, bronzers etc. Next time we will be talking about what foods to eat that can help a great deal with your skins appearance.

Unless you are participating in fashion show, or some other big event you want your makeup to look natural and flawless. This is a lot harder for some than others to accomplish. But with the right type of makeup and technique we can all achieve a more natural look.

Side note: I want to take the time before I start to highly recommend the most amazing make-up manual I have EVER read. I wish I could buy one for every woman on the face of the earth [ya, it’s that good]. Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual: For Everyone from Beginner to Pro. This manual talks about EVERYTHING and ANYTHING you need to know. The quality and quantity of the book is amazing. It’s a must have for any beginner, and even if your pro status its gold.

"Bobbi's 25+ years of makeup artist experience is distilled into one volume that includes over 200 full-color photos and step-by-step instructions as well as a "Ten Step Guide to Perfect Makeup" that teaches you how to apply your makeup in ten minutes or less.Packed with all the tricks of the trade, this book also offers a unique guide for aspiring makeup artists: how to break into the business, put together a portfolio, book work, and work with photographers, magazine editors, fashion designers, & celebrities. (Hardcover, 221 pg.)"

Link to buy: http://www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com/templates/products/spp/index.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY23162&PRODUCT_ID=PROD14397
Its $32.00 on the website, but im sure you could find a better deal I think I got mine for like $18.00 at borders.

Ok, back to the blog:

Foundation; Choosing the right foundation is very important in helping to give you a natural appearance. There are so many different types to choose from; Sticks, balms, creams, liquid, powders and the list goes on and on. Once you’ve found the type of foundation you like [see previous blog for aid] you can now work on the color.

It is important to buy foundation that matches your natural face color. [Don’t worry, if you feel that your face is naturally too light you can correct it with a bronzer after, which we will talk about later] Never, ever use foundation as a tanner or bronzer! It will never look natural. The correct shade of make -up should “disappear” on your face.

Tips:
-You might have to try a couple out before you know which one is right for you
-Always check your makeup in a natural light, [stand by a window or something]
-you may need a different shade of foundation for seasons like summer vs. winter.

The next thing you need to do is decide what tool you are going to use to apply and blend your foundation into your skin. Again there are so many different tools you can use for different desired affects. There are sponges, and tons of different types of brushes.
What works best for me is a combination of brushes [sponges are ok for getting those hard to reach places, but aren’t really necessary, and defiantly not recommend to use on your whole face]. I like to use a regular foundation brush to apply the foundation across my face:

And then a brush that has a flat head [usually used for powders, but I still think they work amazing for blending liquid makeup too] to blend and buff the foundation into my skin:

This combination provides the coverage I need, but still looks ultra natural, like my own skin.

I hope this helps all you beginners, and come back to hear more beginning tips on tools, brozers, liner, shadows, blushes etc.

Make-up For all Skin Types

Now that we've gotten down all the facts for getting clean, clear fresh skin for every skin type lets take a look at what kind of make up should be used also. Like skin care products, there are certain types of makeup that should not be worn with certain types of skin. I will be featuring my favorite make up brand/ Artist: Bobbi Brown.
[Bobbi Brown= AMAZING!!!!]

Normal skin type: Normal skin types can use use any light, oil free foundation. Even a tinted moisturizer would do. Like Bobbi Browns tinted moisturizer spf 15:


Oily skin type: Should definatly go for a non oil based foundation with a matte affect. Like Bobbi Browns Oil-Free Even Finish Compact Foundation:


Dry skin: SInce dry skin can look dead and flakey, a lumonious foundatiuon can brighten your day. try Bobbie Browns Luminous Moisturizing Foundation


Combination: this skin is alittle bit more tricky, i have this type and i usually use make-up made for normal-dry skin:)

Get Clean Fresh Skin No Matter What Skin Type

It is essential to know what skin type you have so you can take the most effective steps in getting clear, fresh skin. there are four main types of skin, and then sensitive.

1. Normal Skin Type- Normal skin is the easiest to care for, and gives you the least trouble. It doesn't feel tight, or oily, and is obviously well circulated. minimum care is required to keep up normal skin type.
2. Oily Skin Type- can be difficult to care for. Face tends to look greasy, and pores are often larger than normal. skin is prone breakouts and acne
3. Dry Skin Type- dry skin is probably the most irritable skin type. your skin will feel tight, and look red, or flaky. If not properly taken care of, dry skin can form wrinkles more easily than any other skin type.
4. Combination Skin Type- [most women have this, including me] This skin type in my opinion is the hardest to manage. usually a more oily t-zone and regular to dry outer area. The t-zone is marked by larger pores, and the areas around by dry zones.

Sensitive skin is usually just a form of dry skin type, except your skin is more fragile. special care is needed in most cases.

How do you know which skin type you are? If you cant tell by the signs then a simple test can be done to show you what type you have. when you wake up in the morning take a clean piece of tissue or blot paper and wipe your face. if you have normal skin there will be little to no traces of oil. for oily skin there will obviously be oil on the tissue or blot. For dry skin there will be no oil [but your skin should feel tight and dry]. For combination skin the tissue or blot will have more residue around your t-zone.


Ok, now that you know your skin type, how do you take care of it? First im going to tell you some skin tips for each type, then im going to tell you what i use for my skin, and how it can help almost any skin type:)

Normal Skin- since minimal effort is required to keep up this skin type you probably already know that any light cleanser is fine:)
Oily Skin- using moisturizers that are not oil based, and even some that create a matte effect can be extremely helpful. Blot papers are also your best friend as you can use them anywhere you want.

bobbi brown Blotting papers $20.00 at bobbibrowncosmetics.com

bobbi brown oli control lotion spf 15 $45.00 at bobbibrowncosmetics.com

Dry Skin- Moisturize! If you have dry skin it is essential to give your skin the much needed, extra hydration. skin masks can also work wonders by infusing nutrients and cleaning those tight pores.

bobbi brown EXTRA SPF 25 Moisturizing Balm $85.00 at bobbibrowncosmetics.com
Combination Skin- Combination skin should be treated separately. So the dry or normal part should be treated like dry or normal skin, and the oily part should be treated like oily skin. This requires two different types of products for the face.

My favorite product is Pro active. Yes i know that Pro Active doesn't work for everyone, but it does for me. Since i have combination skin i cannot use only proactive as i will dry my face out [same with Murad] so i use a light but effective moisturizer on top of the proactive products. i recommend either Biore, or Neutrogena.

Step 1: Renew

This medicated Renewing Cleanser is made with new, exclusive micro-crystal benzoyl peroxide — featuring smaller, finer particles designed to quickly penetrate pores to start killing acne-causing bacteria on contact. Tiny exfoliating beads gently remove dirt, excess oil and dead skin cells to help keep pores from clogging.

Step 2: Revitalize

This refreshing, alcohol-free toner helps remove impurities and excess oil so your skin looks and feels clean, soft and refreshed -- not tight and dried out. Soothing botanical agents gently balance your skin tone.

Step 3: Repair

The repairing treatment is a feather-light medicated lotion that gets deep into clogged pores faster but is designed to be gentler on the skin. It's an oil-free formula that's safe for your entire face.

Once a week i like to use the Pro Active Refining Mask:

Beautifying mask absorbs oil, reduces irritation, heals pimples and prevents acne breakouts with antibacterial sulfur. Leaves skin soft and smooth
($15-20)
It helps with my t-zone by cleaning out my pores really well. and since i have a lot of trouble with my pores i also use [not on the same day] Pro Actives pore cleansing kit:

These things really work, when you lifet it off your face you can see all the dirt that was trapped in your pores. [yuck!]
