Ambi after one week


 So I posted last week that I would do a weekly update about the AMBI skin lighter.  These are pictures I took today.  I see my acne scars have faded a little but mainly, my face seems to have less random blotches of color and seems softer.  I don't have anymore dry patches or white spots.  I'm going to keep using this product and update you all next week.  I am happy with the progress so far but I will have to just see.

Sally Girl Poser nail polish

This is a high quality polish for little money in a little bottle.  This polish went on well and only required two coats.  The only problem I really had with it was working with the little brush.  The little brush was a little awkward but it was okay. The color is very rich and the polish dries very quickly.  I bought it online at sallybeauty.com and it was only $0.99.  I would defiantly purchase this again.  I am very happy with this product.  There were many other colors to select from so everyone could find that perfect color and because the price is so low, you can buy more than one!

Whoo hoo for color!!!

blush or bronzer, that is the question

Lately I have noticed many girls trying to keep the bronzer, even though summer is over.  Yes it is sad, but that means we can now play with blush!  Fact: everyone loves blush!  Girls, now that blush is in season, that does not allow us to layer it on and end up looking like we are in an opera.  When you pick out you blush, remember your own skin tone and what looks natural with it.  A really good rule of thumb is pinch your cheeks, and that is your blush color.  I am a full believer in powder blushes because it goes well on any type of skin, but there are many other types of blush.  There are creams for dry skin, gel for oily skin, and shimmer for youthful plump skin.  The shimmer should really only be used for night and really special occasions, but do with that as you will.  Another point is girls with lighter skin should be a little more conservative with how much pigment they put on their cheeks.  For you, a little goes a long way.  Girl who a little more darker complected should try to put a little more color on their cheeks because the color has to work a little harder to be seen well.  To all girls, step away from the mirror about 4 or 5 steps and see how natural your blush color looks.  If you do put a little too much blush on, don't worry.  If you put on powder blush, just dust on some face powder and the color will be turned down.  If you put on cream blush, put a dab of liquid foundation on top and really blend it in.  Another thing to remember is proper placement.  Put the most blush on the apples of your cheeks and blend it out.  remember to blend it out because if you don't, you could look like a clown,  Tip: smile while you put on your blush, you will never miss your apples this way.  Good luck with your new tools and have fun. Another major thing about blush, just sit in front of the mirror and play with your make up.  It really helps.

Your face is a canvas, paint.

Poofy-oofy Hair!

To all my curly girlies, I have been getting poofy hair like nothing else lately.  Its a hot mess I tell you, hair here and there and everywhere.  But I have a solution.  ALOE VERA GEL!!!!  I think this is one of the best, most natural products I have ever used.  I say this because not only does it leave my hair super manageable, but it leaves it super soft as well.  What I do is as soon as I get out of the shower, I pump a large glob of it into the palm of my hand, swirl it a little and them run it through my hair starting at the root.  I then take another glob and scrunch the tips of my hair to add some bound and define my curls.  I then let my hair air dry.  You can use a diffuser on your hair too but I have never had that great of luck with blow driers.  Any aloe vera gel works as long as it don't have anything extra in it like lidocaine or alcohol.  I personally use Fruit of the Earth 100% gel, crystal clear.  I love it.

Down with the poof!!!

Skin discoloration

So I, having my dark, very easily stained skin, have decided to try something a little different to get rid of my acne scars and general discoloration.  I have just bought the Johnson and Johnson product AMBI for natural skin.  I have just applied it tonight and we will see how this product works.  It has had some really good reviews, but products work differently for different people.  A lot of people have said that they noticed the change in two weeks but I like to document things on a regular basis.  Because of this, every week I will try to upload a picture.  We will see if this AMBI is magic in a container or if its just a face lotion.  The active ingredients are hydroquinone and octinoxate.  Well, I will touch on this again next week.

Lets go AMBI!!!

White shirts

To everyone who thinks white shirts are classy, pause and think.  Do you have any tattoo's?  Is your bra any other color than white?  Are you thinking, "Oh, the shirt is only SLIGHTLY sheer."  If ANY of these things apply to you, please, wear a tank or cami underneath your blouse.  Always assume the worst, because that will prevent making yourself from looking slightly slutty.  If you have accidentally revealed too much of yourself, its okay.  Everyone has been there at some point of time, I know I have.

Remember, assume the worst
