My secret to long lasting make up (:

Summer is just around the corner and all of us girls worry about our make up melting in the middle of our date and looking like frosty the snow man but covered in foundation. So to prevent that from happening I'm gonna share with ya'll my secret to long lasting make up!:)

FIRST of all, well ya'll should always, always do this no matter what. Wear moisturizer girl! I found out that ever since i started wearing moisturizer my skin does not produce that much oil like it did when i wouldn't wear moisturizer. And yes it did suck, because i have veryyyyy oily skin.

(This moisturizer is soo amazing, i love it! Treats blemishes + reduces oil slot faster than other moisturizers.) 

SECOND step is to wear a primer. I've been using Revlon Photo Ready Primer and works great.

THIRD step. The fun part, add concealer to all blemishes and darker/lighter parts of the skin. And last but not least, add foundation!! (: 

If you have oily skin like me i recommend buying some oil absorbing pads/sheets to carry around with you in your purse or wallet and whenever your feeling a little oily or just looking super shiny, tap your sheets very gently on the oily spots and your ready to go. This is alot better than applying more foundation to your face, because you wont just make your face look cakey, but whenever you apply the foundation with a brush the oil and dirt from your face will attach to your brush and will just go on to your face the next time you re-apply foundation. You can get these at most of your local stores. I know ELF carries them for $1 and it includes, i think, 100 sheets. But if you really want to save money you can use end wrapping sheets, their small sheets use to protect hair from damaging during perms, their just the same size as the oil absorbing sheets and work just the same. You can get the end wrapping sheets at sally's beauty for just $1.99 and includes 1000 sheets. Saves lots of money. Wow do i talk alot. 

And for mascara, the only thing i know will make it last is a waterproof mascara. Eyeliner, same thing, waterproof, but i really don't recommend using eyeliner pencil if you're gonna be out in the sun for long because it will still kinda run down, is better to use waterproof liquid liner. And eyeshadow, just wear eyeshadow primer. Also if your use to shading in youre eyebrows i really recommend using eyeshadow, it doesn't just last longer, but it does make it seem more natural looking than eyebrow pencils.

   

wow was that a long blog! well i hope i didn't bore ya'll and maybe gave ya'll some ideas for you're summer make up this year(: Take care girlies!(: love always, mayra♥

Don't have a dotting tool ? How about a DIY dotting tool ? (:

Okay so if you haven't noticed from my pictures, i love doing my nails. And many of my nail paintings include dots, which require a dotting tool.

But girl i am so not about to go buy a nail tool that i can make my self very very cheap. Let's just call it recycling bobby pins. You know you have a gazillion bobby pins that you don't use anymore because either they are bend or  broken. Well honey you have just discover a way to put those bobby pins to use(:

Step ONE: Open the bobby pin up in a way it makes a "V" or "L" form.

Step TWO: Dip the tip of the bobby pin in the nail polish you will be using.

(This works better with the bobby pins that have a round tip, but you can always try it with another type of bobby pin)

TIPS&IDEAS: You may let the tip dry and dip it again in nail polish to make bigger dots.
       No girly you do not have to use a new bobby pin every time you want to make some dots, you can just clean it up with nail polish remover & reuse it next time. It doesn't matter if there is still some polish left on the tip, it wont affect your dot's color for next time (as long as its dry).
   
        This also works very well with sewing pins or for large circles, use Q-tips.
        And for thin lines you could use the tip of a toothpick or a paper clip.

Hope this helped and maybe gave ya'll some ideas for ya'lls pretty little nails:) love always, mayra♥
