Q/A: Acne Scars

Q: How do you get rid of acne scarring

A: I haven't personally experienced acne scarring because of the skincare routine I am currently on. I think thats key to keeping perfect skin is to find that routine that is not too harsh for your skin but also protects from the damage that makeup can do. It took me a while to figure out what brands of skincare was good for my skin and it may take you a while too but it's well worth it in the end. The closest to scarring from acne for me was discoloration from pimple popping = lol sounds gross but true. Oh and your not supposed to pop pimples cause it makes the problem worse but I dont care I do what I want! lol I heard it takes like a 1-3 months for discoloration to correct itself I could be wrong though I remember I read it somwhere. I get pretty tan in the summer so the discoloring isn't much off. I usually try to treat the pimple before it comes by using my Clean and Clear Advantage spot treatment, it works pretty well. My sister does suffer from discoloration from acne because she is very fair and has freckles so I believe she has been using a brightening cream from Shiseido. It lightens the scarring and evens out the skin. If your a dark skin girl I think you can use it too but I would ask the Sales associate first if its ok.

Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual

If your interested in freelancing or just a big fan of makeup this is the book to get. This book answers all your questions like how to correct undereye circles, how to start a freelance kit, how to start your own business, bridal makeup, oh geeze everything! I was scared that since it was written by Bobbi Brown she may just talk about products on her makeup line but it's not even about her makeup. It's a lot about the HOW TOS of makeup and just great information about the business. I bought this book for 32 dollars at Barnes and Nobles. I know its a little pricey but it's well worth it.

French Nails

Are they real or acrylic????

NEITHER! they're press ons. I have never tried press ons before and I am quite impressed. The first two nails I did got some airbubbles but then I figured you had to put alot of glue on and make sure u press hard. It comes with 24 Nails in 10 different sizes, Pink gel glue, Wooden cuticle pusher, and a mini nail filer. I got mine at CVS for approx. 6.50 (well I actually had 5 dollar extra bucks so I got it for a little over 1.00) I also went to Target and saw them for 5.99 so I bet Walmart is much cheaper. I'm going to check out Sally's and see if they have like a kit which they probably do of course and check out their quality. I'm so exciting about these, no more 30 dollar plus tip for acrylic nails. Oh! and 2 week fills for 10 dollars geeze! Press ons are a life saver for addicts.

A Rose Romance

Hey guys!! I went to my local MAC counter and I checked out the Rose Romance collection. Everything I was expecting to buy I decided not to. =/ Everything was very subtle, not a lot of color. There was one thing I bought though and it was Mutiny pigment. This is my very first full jar pigment! I have so many samples but no full jars. I felt that in the jar it looked so pretty but once I swatched it looked like it was just a high intensity frost with a hint of blue. Kind of disappointing. I'll definitely be doing a look with this color after I do a neutral look =)
