Gotta problem (skin?) want questions answered. Tips and tricks. You'll thank me!
*This post contains NO PR promoted or paid reviews, just real life experience*
Ok so this week I have found that my skin is flawless no bumps or lumps but I do still have pigmentation and scaring from pimples.
When I use Arbonne Cellular renewal it really does help this problem I have and removes all the old skin and build up of makeup.
Once I put on foundation my skin looks perfect because the tone is even all over. I am sure I will build on this over the years but here is an essential guide for staples in your every day skin regime albeit skin care or make up - all skin types listen up! Cleanse skin with your Favourite skin care regime.
I really can't go past products that contain AHA a natural ingredient that breaks down dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and renews the skin. For young people detox of the skin happens within days of starting a new skin care regime, like a break out of pimples basically it is a good sign to break out when you start a regime because it's the products working and getting rid of your old product.
For older skin this process can take 2-3 weeks before these signs begin because the skins cycle is slower and production of collagen is slowed after the age of 30.
That moment when you're in conversation with someone and their skin glows... You wonder, what do they use on their skin? That radiance, glow to people's face. What is that? Lots of water? Exercise or sleep? You've tried them all and they don't work right!?
There are products out there to help you! They are called secrets and no one wants you to know it! Preparing the skin is key I always say this but good skin care goes a long way.
Then there are quick fixes with make up products to give you radiance, quickest and easieset guide! Highlighters, face illuminators and bases under foundation are you instants.
My absolute Favourite has to be the sheer illuminator fluid by Chanel, it's only $67 and lasts forever, you only need to use a cotton bud tip worth and this also extends the life Of your product because unless you dip the cotton bud back into the product, you will prevent bacteria and dead skin cells going back into the product and contaminating it.
You can mix it with your liquid foundation or just apply it, or similar products to it or apply it just to your cheeks, it's sheer and translucent do you can still apply blushes and bronzer on top.
You will glow!
Especially if you're dehydrated or tired! Skin care step, serums. Serum breaks down the skin, usually a peptide ingredient, so it helps the nutrients of your moisturizers and cleaners be absorbed correctly and efficiently.
Hydrating serums are fantastic right before a primer or base before makeup as it keeps the skin hydrated the entire day, the primer locks moisturer in and leaves something for your makeup to be applied to.
I go white in photos!
Ok I have to say this!
You will not get by on just one foundation.
Sorry!
Invest in your make up! Your skin is different colors in summer and winter.
You may get a spray tan and guess what, you'll need to get a foundation that matches that tan. SPF, Mica, Silica are ingredients in your foundations that help keep harmful UV at bay, and absorb oil on skin, however they don't like the flash of a camera.
Your choice of moisturizer that you use before you apply your makeup also will factor in to your white face in photos. If it contains SPF there's your problem!
So for every day use be safe and use your SPF products. For night time and special events, or you know you'll be updating your Facebook photos!
Use very low - no SPF moisturizer and foundation. Shiny and oily Keep a pack of blotting paper, tissues or Rizzler papers.
With the tissues all you need to do is separate the plys apart. Use one ply to apply to the face it will absorb the oil. Other wise you can use the other alternatives or your powder to touch up.
You can also buy mattiffying powders and Matt orientated moisturizers and skin care, usually oil free Laura Mercier offer a great oil free skin care set.
You can also use matte foundations, oil free and to still get the dewy look use an illuminator.
Stumpy lashes You need mascara base Can't go past Chanel's was released in May 2011 and works!
Separates lashes and extends them before you even apply the mascara!!
I promise you will be impressed!
Any other skin questions?? Ask me!

How to: get a job in makeup and beauty industry
In reflection of http://katesinmelbourne.blogspot.com/2011/12/working-mum-v-stay-at-home-mum-how.html post I wanted to share my experiences and advice in working in makeup and beauty.
Freelancing is great when the kids are still at home full time.
It's something you can set up from home or mobile around you family's lifestyle. Doing all types of work and getting volunteers to practice on helps expand your experience in skin types, skin quality and unusual things that can happen on a face like facial hair, wrinkles, excess skin, dehydration, irritable eyes, dry lips Sometimes this, before spending a few hundred/thousand on a course will really help your learning. Networking with people in the industry is a great way to get new gigs but credibility can be questioned. As Dr Phil once advised on his show to a lady that really wanted a particular job in an industry she'd chosen, she was qualified but she had no experience and Dr Phil questioned her, well if you wanted to be taken seriously, why don't you work for free, get an internship, do anything you can by giving up your time to get the experience, then people will notice and give you credit because you're there because you want to be, voluntarily!
This stuck in my head and I have been working my ass off, voluntarily and paid. Start your prices low to get a solid customer base. Then you can increase your charge as the years go on and the more experience you have. A professional portfolio is an investment in your business and future, and spend the money on a quality and credible photographer. This is what you'll need for future jobs and also entrance in to some makeup schools and makeup companies like MAC.
Cosmetics counter roles Allow a few days for the interview process With MAC it's a whole day group trial and interview process. With other companies that run out of David Jones and Myer you will meet with the brand, then either of the department stores HR, then a second interview with the floor supervisor/sales manager and then a full day orientation process to learn the registers, OH&S etc.
This process can be up to two weeks. So a bit tricky when you are already employed but if you are stay at home/self employed/casual it's "do able" once it's done then it makes changing brands and career advancement a bit easier.
I am going through all of this because the future career opportunities with these companies is huge and I have some goals I have set for by the time I'm 30. If you want an option to work from home there are plenty of makeup and skin are companies that allow you to sell makeup and skin care from home, use as home salon products, and these companies also include training so can be a great starter to learn about skin and makeup types and talking to product developers.
Hope this helps any one looking into this field on work!

UNO!
Ok so there are TWO things I love when it comes to my inner child and having my own children.
1 MATTEL
2 UNO!
UNO always always reminds me of a holiday I went on when I was 12 to Tenerife an island off Spain and every evening we'd play it on the balcony of the hotel that looked out up to the volcano.
UNO is a game you can play if you are ANY age or speak ANY language!
BUT WAIT they've now made this game even more awesome by developing personalised UNO cards!
Now I am a big personalised/customised fan, I made my hubby a custom bobble head for our anniversary this year.
What you do is go to http://myunocards.com.au/ or unocards.com.nz download the software to your computer and upload your favourites photos then for $19.95 (by Paypal so it's safe) you'll get your custom pack of UNO cards mailed to you!!
How cool! Perfect for Christmas, maybe class photos etc or wedding bombineres! haha! Just awesome so go check it out.
Thanks to Mattel for letting me know about this as I can then share it with my readers!
