Heal & Conceal

Everybody knows the best way to cover up acne or pimples is to use a concealer. And, the best way to heal it is to use a pimple cream. Now, with some new products in the market, you can conceal and heal that pimple at the same time. Here are a few that caught my eye:

(From left to right)

JENNISSE MAKE-UP Heal & Conceal
This concealer has Tea Tree Oil, a natural antiseptic and anti-bacterial pimple healing ingredient. It also has antioxidants to reduce inflammation. Another bonus is that it has Vitamin B Complex to give skin a healthy complexion. It comes in four shades- Clear, Light, Medium and Dark. I love the fact it has a 'Clear' shade.

MURAD Acne Treatment Concealer
This stick concealer not only heals your pimples, it prevents them too. It has an oil-free formula which is good news for those with oily skin. It claims to have long-lasting coverage and leaves skin with a flawless finish. It comes in the usual three shades- Light, Medium and Dark. Of course, Murad being a popular and trusted skincare brand makes this concealer it a little bit special.

TARTE The Eraser Concealer
My favourite thing about this concealer is that it is strictly natural. It provides medium to full coverage. Not only does it heals pimples, it gets rid of dark eye circles. Better still, it has anti-aging properties. It is said to be moisturizing and skin-soothing. What you wouls probably like about this concealer is the fact that it has ten shades. This means it will be easier for you to find the perfect shade for your skintone.

CLINIQUE Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer
This is a medicated liquid concealer that boasts to have a gentle, soothing formula that provides natural-looking coverage. It also has a oil-free formula. It has three shades to match your skin tone and a green one to correct redness. I love that it has a shade in green to correct the redness of your pimples.

Be Cruelty Free!

I've always emphasized the importance of cruelty-free brands, brands that do not test on animals. But, I never knew how to know if a certain brand tests on animals. Now, with the help of Yahoo!Answers, I do. There is a website that lists brands that do and do not test on animals. I was shocked by the list of brands that do test on animals. Many popular brands, that even I use, actually test on animals. I was literally stunned. Now that I've found out that many of the brands I use test on animals, i realize that being cruelty free is easier said that done. But, i have to try for the sake of those cute and fluffy animals.

Here are a few brands that do or do not test on animals:

Do...
Johnson & Johnson
Procter & Gamble
Loreal
Shisheido

Do Not...
Anastasia Beverly Hills
Avon
Bare Escentuals
Bath & Body Works

Who wears it better?

The MTV VMA (Video Music Awards) was packed with controversy. From the Kanye and Taylor incident to Lady Gaga's performance, suprises never stopped coming. But, one suprise that was not talked about was when Pink and Shakira arrived at the show in the same dress! So, who wore it better?

I'm sorry Pink but I have to choose Shakira. I just completely love the heels and black leather knee-high socks combo. It looks very edgy and different. I also love that she added in a cute leather black purse. But, I have to give credit to Pink for that cool hairstyle.

What do YOU think?

Carolina Herrera Spring 2010 Collection Review

This collection is very sophisticated and classy. Its not really my style but the collection is still interesting to me. The designs were actually quite simple but the details, embellishments or/and prints added in were really unique and cute! It really made the clothes very pretty. The colours used were simple but the colour combinations used were quite interesting. I can't choose one favourite piece but my two favourite pieces from the collection has to be the 1st one from the 1st and 2nd row above.

See the collection:

Zac Posen Spring 2010 Collection

The collection has a few hits and misses. But, overall, it is an amazing and lovely collection. The clothes are quirky and unique but still wearable. And, wearablity is an important factor when it comes to designer clothes. And, the collection gets another point for creativity! The clothes are really different from what you always see. But, it is definitely only for the brave and the bold. And, I do take fashion risks, so I would say this collection is a favourite. The collection also recieves bonus points for the beautiful colours used.
