Shu Uemura Cheek Brush

Blush is what makes my face look like me. I love mascara too, but blush just adds that healthy flush to my face that makes me able to face the day. I love all
blushes, but unfortunately, the vast majority in my collection don’t last past lunch time. I can layer a cream with a powder, but even then, the staying power only gets me through mid-afternoon.

Enter the nifty Shu Uemura Cheek Brush, which came to my attention when trawling through our favourite StrawberryNET.com.

Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Soft Matte Bronzer

For people like me with fair skin, obtaining a nice tan can be slim to none. However, there a few ways to work around the sun and still acquire a healthy glow. One way is to use a bronzer.  So, I searched StrawberryNET.com for the best range of bronzers.

With the advent of facial bronzing powders a few years back, I was quick on the draw. Rather than use a liquid self tanner and wait for results, bronzers offer convenience as well as immediate satisfaction.

Bare Escentuals BareMinerals Golden Fair

February 14, 2012

If I could change anything about my complexion, it would be my skin’s redness that can come out, especially during dry winter seasons. I always feel like I need a strong foundation to mask this up.

In the past I’ve been a little wary of mineral make-up, fearful that it wouldn’t provide the full coverage that traditional foundation does. Yet, ordinary foundation can feel thick and cakey, while mineral make-up has a much better reputation as being weightless.

It’s a 10 Miracle Daily Conditioner

February 10, 2012

In my experience, a daily conditioner is a daily conditioner. Seldom does one perform better or worse than the others, so I stick to what I find on special for daily conditioners.  

I’m a fan of masks and deep conditioners and focus my hair energy there versus seeking out a stellar daily conditioner. It’s a 10 Miracle Daily Conditioner is a true game changer. As a fan of masks and thick conditioners, I know they moisturise like crazy, but can weight hair down. I like full hair to last me a few days after a blowdry.

Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser

February 9, 2012

Because of my dry skin, one beauty product that I always keep on hand in my beauty repertoire is a good exfoliating cleanser.

Recently, a friend gave me Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser to try out. I was getting tired of my old exfoliating cleanser which did a decent job, but was also difficult to wash off and left an unpleasant grittiness.

My hair is thick, wavy and typically dry, especially at the ends. I’m a major fan of hair masks, deep conditioners and leave-in conditioners. I’m all about hydration and I use these products year round to keep my ends in shape.
