Luxe Organic AHA BHA Pimple Corrector Review

Feb 11, 2022

Wearing a face mask gives breakout on my face that leaves marks on it. Especially on my chin area. It feels less confident when people ask me what happened on my chin. I'm not sure if it's really because of the face mask but it started when I used a face mask. In this post, I will share with you the pimple corrector I tried to lessen maskne.

Bob Wigs are more than just a great addition to your beauty. They can add your sense of confidence, help you follow the dictates of your faith, or make you feel more comfortable. While the potential uses of wigs are very wide, you will find that there are some common points you can take to make sure you select the best bob wig for your lifestyle and needs.

Consider your lifestyle.

The first question that you should consider is what kind of needs do you have for your hair care routine? Maybe you need to pay more attention to curly bob wigs in hair care than straight bob wigs. The second is will you want bob wigs that you can put on with minimal styling and care or do you want something that can be elaborately styled? Besides, you should also think about if you need a wig that you can wear comfortably when you exercise.

Look for a bob wig that flatters the shape of your face.

Your wig can be most flattering if you pick one which enhances the shape of your face. If you have a round face, you'd better choose short straight bob wigs which graces the collarbone, or with longer layers that hit at the jawline. If you have an oval face, you can look for a shaggy bob, like Brazilian Curly Bob Wigs. It can hold lots of volumes as this will make your face appear fuller. As for square faces, a good choice for you is to pick wigs that will soften your jawline, such as a longer, angled bob. I recommend you to try Malaysian Straight Short Bob Wigs.

Select a Bob wig that compliments your skin tone.

You should have a general idea of which color you want before you buy your bob wig. You might be tempted to try something very different once you are in the store, but it's best to stick with colors that you know will work for you. Different colors will give others a totally different feeling. However, it can easily make an undesirable influence on your appearance. Generally speaking, you will not make a mistake if you choose a bob wig with natural color. Most people would prefer a natural black bob wig because it can let your wig look more natural. And plus, natural color bob wig is suitable for all kinds of occasions and it is easy to match the clothes.

Bob Wigs

Choose a bob wig that you can afford it.

For bob wigs, it is convincing to buy online. And there are many types of bob wigs, you can choose whichever you like. Take straight bob wigs for example. You can choose Brazilian straight bob wigs, Malaysian straight bob wigs, or Peruvian straight bob wigs. But their price is different. In these three bob wigs, Peruvian straight bob wig is the most expensive, while Brazilian straight bob wig has the cheapest price. So, when you buy bob wigs, you should also consider the price.

Bob wig is the most popular mink hair wholesale product this summer. But you have to pay attention to select a bob wig which is suitable for you. I am sure that you will be more attractive with a suitable bob wig.

For me, Cleanser is the most important skincare routine and I can not skip it. I have tried different kinds of cleanser and what I like the most in finding cleanser is a mild cleanser without a strong smell. I Learned about Cerave in tiktok, most skincare gurus raving and talking about this. Then I give it a try.

My review

Their cleanser comes with different choices depending on your needs. I bought Hydrating because I need more hydration for my skin. At first, I thought I will not like this because I love a cleanser that bubbles but after using this several times, I really love it!!

I usually use about 2-3 pumps for my whole face. I wet my face first then apply the cleanser in a circular motion. My skin feels clean, soft like a baby and brightens after washing.

If you are familiar with Cetaphil, I can say that their consistent are alike.

How to Style Hair Extensions for Natural Curly Hair

Jun 7, 2019

If you're blessed with naturally curly hair you'll know that styling those tresses can be a little more tricky for you than for those of us with straight hair. Here at Milk + Blush we're all about celebrating your individuality and when it comes to your hair we want you to express yourself! Stylists have used M+B Hair Extensions to style celebs such as Winnie Harlow and Solange Knowles and made them work for their amazing natural hair texture. So, along with help from our resident Milk + Blush curl queen, today we're sharing with you some of our tips and tricks for styling hair extensions for naturally curly hair.

Suss out your shade

You may find that you have more than one tone running through those curly locks which can make blending extensions that bit more difficult. While you can opt from our range of highlighted shades, you can also get a really natural, multi-tonal effect by using a combination of two or more Milk + Blush shades. Our curly haired Milk + Blush Babe wears a combination of the shades ‘Love This Feeling' and ‘Sweet Like Chocolate' as her hair is quite dark but has slightly lighter, sunkissed tones running through it and this creates a super natural, blended look for her. You can go for two sets in two different shades or simply opt to add in a few Single Wefts or a Quad Weft in a different shade to your full set for some extra tones. Finding your ideal shade of Milk + Blush Hair Extensions is sooo simple, click here to find out more.

Know your curl pattern

As a curl connoisseur, you'll know that no one curl is the same so it can be tricky to style your hair extensions to match. The best way to blend your extensions is to look at the formation of your natural curls. Are they uniform? Corkscrew like? Going in different directions? You can mimic your naturals curls with your Milk + Blush hair extensions in so many ways - try using a chopstick curler, braiding your wefts and leaving them overnight or using a 1 inch wand and curling the hair alternate ways. To style hair we curled the wefts separately using a chopstick curler and curled the hair in alternate directions before clipping them in.

A great tip for curling your M+B hair is to clip the wefts in a hanger or place the top of the weft inside a strong drawer and close it leaving the hair free to curl, this way you get ultimate control when styling.

Recreate the texture

The beauty of natural curls is that they're often messy and wild looking - no uniformity here thank you! So you want to recreate that same texture in your Milk + Blush hair extensions otherwise things can look a little odd! If your virgin hair is super big try gently backcombing your styled wefts and breaking up the curls. If your curls are more structured use a serum or hairspray to help keep their shape. Once the curled wefts were clipped into hair we used a little smoothing balm on our fingertips to break the curls up and incorporate them into her own hair. The balm allowed us to break up the curls and make them big and textured without going frizzy - super easy.

I'm not a fan of Lipgloss since I discover matte liquid lipsticks. These Careline Extra Shine Lipgloss are over a months in my makeup organizer. I just found out how good it is a few days ago! I have the entire shades months ago but I gave the other to my friends. so, I just gonna swatch and review what are left on me.

Kilay is life as they say but before anything else, we need to find the perfect eyebrow product so that we can achieve our goal kilay/eyebrow.

I've been sticking on my Anastasia Pomade for a year, but this Careline Best Brow Liner catches my attention from the name itself. Aside from it is from my favorite drugstore brand here in the Philippines, I read numerous of reviews about how good it is compared to high-end products.

Careline Best Brow Liner is a Creamy pencil lets you effortlessly create fuller-looking brows; fine tip allows perfectly defined eyebrows; lightweight and easy-to-hold for perfect control; creates light strokes that mimics the look of real hair; spoolie brush on other end helps blend on color and groom strands (source: BeautyMNL)

Careline Best Brow Liner has two shades, Taupe and Brunette. I bought the shade Taupe. It has a spoolie/brush on the other side and a retractable pencil inside. Best Brow tip is slanted and kind of wide which feels uncomfortable for me at first but I got used to it. The product is somewhat powdery while applying. It blends easily with the brush on it but I have love and hate relationship on the brush/spoolie because it falls off my eyebrow hair..

It is also good if you're oily like me! It stays all day =). I also find it easy to use especially when I'm in a hurry or when I feel like achieving a natural eyebrow. I hope that Careline will release more shade of this Best Brow Liner or a pomade brow product.

If you found the perfect everyday foundation for you, I am jealous. Because until now, I'm still struggling with finding the perfect foundation that suits on my skin.

All-in-one skin perfector foundation delivers five times more performance: smoothes and primes skin. Conceals and minimises imperfections. Evens out skin tone. Moisturises and nourishes skin. Protects against UV radiation and pollution. Buildable coverage without ever looking “cakey”: one application for a more natural look, two for more visible coverage. SPF20 for effective protection against photo-ageing. Hypoallergenic*, with a delicate violet scent. (source: Deborah Milano)

It has 4 shades and I got the shade of Apricot. My face is combination, oily but feels dry at the same time. The BB cream consists of 30ml in a black plastic tube.

with Deborah Milano 5 in 1 BB Cream

As you can see in the pictures above, This does not cover my dark areas especially my eyebags area.I applied it using my fingers, I even use coty airspun loose powder to set it (lol i set it). I noticed that it feels sticky upon applying but it is easy to blend. I also observe that my face become more oily after minutes of application. It is lightweight, has a light coverage, dewy finish and this can only last for not more than 3 hours. I tried to use this on the Humid weather and also in air-conditioned room for a couple of hours but it only gives the same result.

So, that's my experience with this. I don't know how this will work on other skin types. I just think this will works better on dry faces.

Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis). The common name "castor oil", from which the plant gets its name, probably comes from its use as a replacement for castoreum, a perfume base made from the dried perineal glands of the beaver (castor in Latin) source: Wikipedia

Sunscreen lotion is not enough to protect our skin from damaging, there’s another factor that can cause skin dryness, acne and premature aging which is Pollution. From our day to day travel from the Cities, air pollution is the most common type of pollution that we can get every day.

The hair can be one of the most stubborn and unruly parts of the body, right? Take a look at it a few hours after spending time to put it together and it may look as if it never received any attention before. It may just make you wonder what the whole point of the hair care is. Well, you can’t stop taking care of your hair. After all, we all love our hair. Here are some tips to help with your hair care;

1. When washing your hair

There is a wrong way to do just about anything, and hair washing is not excluded.

• Oil your hair before washing it.

Rubbing your hair with coconut oil, almond oil or olive oil an hour before the wash helps pre-condition the hair

• Use cool or lukewarm water

Hot water is harmful and damaging to your hair because it dehydrates the hair and makes it split. Using lukewarm or cool water to wash the hair closes the hair cuticles and retains the moisture in the hair

• Dilute the shampoo

You probably feel the more the shampoo, the better. No! Shampoo rids the hair of its natural oils, so diluting it in little water is beneficial to your hair.

• Do not wash your hair every day

You increase the loss of the natural oils in your hair and make the hair break if you do.

2. When drying your hair

Now that you’re done washing, it’s time to dry the hair.

• Use a micro-fiber towel to pre-dry your hair as soon as you are done washing the hair

• Air-dry the hair. As much as possible, avoid blow-drying the hair because the heat from the blow-dryer can cause damage

• If you decide to blow-dry the hairs, ensure you do so only when the hair is almost dry to reduce the heat damage and close up the hair cuticles

3. When heat-styling your hair

When you heat-style your hair, ensure you use the proper tools that will provide a balance between the amount of heat, ease of use, efficiency, and quality. My tool of choice is a curling iron. You can limit the hair-styling to once or twice a week for optimum hair care. Also, make sure you apply a heat protectant to your hair before heat-styling it to function as the barrier between the heat and your hair.

4. When going to bed

For most, if not all, of us, the hair gets lots of attention during the day, but at night is left to ruin.

• Tie it up loosely before hitting the hay

A soft hair bandanna or scarf is good for tying your hair. Ponytails and bums pull the hair at night and lead to breakage

• Use a silk pillowcase

Cotton pillowcases can be abrasive to the hair and make it frizz when you are asleep. You can wrap a silk scarf around your hair too instead of the silk pillowcase.

5. Foods that help

For the most part, our hair care depends on the kind of food we eat. Eggs, citrus fruits, dry fruits and nuts, green leafy vegetables, carrot, avocado and whole grains are great for your hair.
