Get Your Glow On

Hello lovelies, so I posted this selfie the other day on Instagram and got quite a few comments on how good my skin looked, so I thought I would share with you what I used. My skin is by no means perfect so that was a major compliment. I have been absolutely obsessed with my new Rachel K CC renew cream in light, (review here ) it is just the perfect accompaniment to mineral powder. There is something about Bareminerals, matte in particular that photographs beautifully. It never looks shiny in photos or overly made up. Used in conjunction with the CC cream you get the right amount of hold and coverage that will last all day without the need for touch ups. It's glowy, soft focus, natural looking makeup that is so quick and easy to apply. I feel more myself with less makeup up on.

New Rachel K CC Renew Cream

 Hello lovelies. Todays post is about the new and improved Rachel K CC Cream. Rachel K is a makeup and skincare brand from Singapore created by beauty queen and Miss Universe Rachel Kum.
CC cream is a more refined version of the BB cream, its complete anti-age skincare and complexion correction in one.

Rachel K CC Renew instantly corrects and repairs skin damage with a list of anti-oxidant properties and natural ingredients.
It has a sheer to medium coverage,comes in three shades, very light, light and medium. It has SPF 30 and it good for all skin types.

Basically you get all this in one tube! Amazing right?!


Paraben Free                Dullness                            Deep Sea Water
Oil Free                        Blemishes                         Shea Butter
No Talc                        Pigmentation/age spots     Macadamia Nut Oil
No Sulphates                Blotchy patches                EGF (growth factor that stimulates cell growth)

Since the launch of Rachel K CC cream in 2010, global brands worldwide have launched their own version of the CC cream but none could ever rival this one in my eyes. It became popular by word of mouth rather than ad campaigns, which is so true because I first heard about it from the lovely LisaLisaD1 from youtube and was amazed at how good Lisa's skin looked after she had applied it. I had to have it immediately! I have the shade light and the shade neutral in the old version. I primarily use this under my foundation as my skincare and primer. Its works beautifully in conjunction with mineral makeup too.

Makeup for Work & Job Interviews

 

Hello lovelies, I though I would share my current makeup routine, its so quick and the results are flawless! Today a colleague said I look fresh! Exactly what I was going for! This is perfect for work in corporate environments or for an interview.
In my job I meet and greet important clients daily. I need to look polished and professional at all times. This everyday makeup look is perfect because the client sees you and not your makeup. The same goes for job interviews. If you rock up with blue eyeshadow and neon nails to a law or finance interview you may give off the wrong impression and the attention of the interviewer will be on your makeup and not you as a potential employee. Some people may say well that's me like it or leave but think about it, at home you love wearing your onesie although  you wouldn't wear it to the supermarket because it not appropriate for that environment. You have to be able to adjust to different situations and environments professionally without compromising your personality.

So here is what I have been using-

I have totally fallen inlove with my Sigma F80 flat top kabuki brush, this blends my makeup like a dream in two seconds flat! It gives the perfect amount of coverage and a seamless finish.
I have been using Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation in shade 4.0, now I don't know if my skin has gone dry or its the weather, but this has been holding up really well and not getting oily at all! I use the Rachel K CC cream in neutral underneath which acts a primer, it really does make your skin smooth and silky.Concealer of choice is Maybelline Instant Age Rewind in light, I am loving this, I use it practically all over my face as a highlight. I then finish with my trusty Rimmel Stay Matte powder in 001 translucent. My blush of the moment is Nars Deepthroat *giggle giggle* it just warms up my skin with a hint of sparkle, I always get compliments when I'm wearing this. I don't really do bronzer in winter so one less thing to fuss about on early mornings.
On my eyes I have been using MAC paint in bare canvas, this just cancels out any redness on my eyelids and makes me look a bit more awake.
For lips I usually go for the nearest lipstick at hand, usually a pink.

Rachel K CC Cream & Todays Eye Make-Up

Happy Monday everyone!! So today I thought I would try out my Rachel K CC cream in neutral. I have been giving this a go on weekends.

This is a Mineral Color Control Blemish Balm 10 in 1 CC Cream.
EGF-Epidermal Growth Factor
SPF 35 PA++
Moisturizing / Whitening
Nourishing / Anti-Wrinkle
Collagen-Enriched / Non-Comedogenic
Smudge-Proof / Water-Proof

CC Cream is a much more refined version of the BB Cream combining many more benefits all in one. It enhances your complexion by improving the texture and balancing skin tone.
I find this has alot more coverage and lasting power than a BB Cream.
whilst applying, it magically transforms into a velvety soft finish. Leaving skin matte but fresh at the same time. Mineral make-up is amazing over this!
There are three shades, Fair, Neutral and Sunkissed.
This was inspired by Rachel Kum, who is an aspiring entrepreneur and a beauty pageant titleholder who won the Miss Singapore Universe 2009 title. Now every single brand is coming out with a CC Cream! Amazing how thing catch on, or become popular.

So far I have been enjoying it, I went for a pub lunch yesterday and basked in the lovely sunshine, not an ounce of oil came through! Very impressive as I'm an oily beast.
