These day's most of us can rarely find the time for a 10-step skin care routine in the morning! Me absolutely being one of them! NIVEA has send me their new BB Cream, BB being short for "Blemish Balm", for me to try out. The tinted daydream promises deep hydration, to smooth the skin and reduce the pores, to cover blemishes, a natural color, a soft glowing skin and SPF 10 sun protection.
I have been using the Nivea BB Cream for a few days now, doing double duty as both a moisturizer and foundation and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised! The cream actually does what my Primer is supposed to do (and obviously doesn't). My skin ended up looking radiant and smooth with a very beautiful healthy rosy glow like Cameron Diaz on the cover of British Vogue December Issue!
The BB cream is enriched with vitamins C, mineral pigments and Provitamine B5 giving covering while nourishing at the same time. The cream comes in two tints, the BB Cream Light for fair skin and the BB Cream Medium for Tan skin.
It's weekend and time to master yet another skill! I'm in love with the winged 60's cat eyes but to master these you kind of need to go all "starwars-ish" where you simply need to use "the Force" basically you need talent or loads of practice, note here that I myself have no "symmetry talent" whatsoever and second to that patience is not on my list either.. But behold, there is still hope! I collected my favorite tutorials, the straight to the point tutorials that are perfect for starter catty-eyes and a perfect base for those of us who are ready to move on to the more advanced winged looks as seen in the collage (and uhm yeah, make tutorials so I can re-post them on my blog!) x
I'm just in love with the illustration and the directions given are easy to follow, I guess when things are made to look easy it feels much better to take on! I found out that many people like to use a white brow liner, a pencil, folded tissue or even Scotch Tape easy to use for making the Wing when not having a steady hand!
Sadly this is one of those images that went viral on Tumblr and in the process the original source got lost! Real bummer since I'm actually high on credits! Non the less, I think this cat eye is perfect in its own bold minimal way! Slack on 1000 layers of eyeliner creating a thick line (almost impossible to fail here) and add the wing/tip last.
Lauren Conrad and Amy Nadine show you how to get Lauren's signature winged eye liner in this video tutorial!

hahaha, this tutorial is Epic and Jane Marie is my kind of Girl! *I'm so buying Scotch Tape today and hopefully I won't rip my eye out*No steady hand needed for sure!
