1. MAC Prep+Prime Moisture Infusion serum
A couple of months ago I ran out of daily moisturizer, but I still had this in my professional kit. I remembered my teacher at beauty school explain to me the difference between a serum and a moisturizer. Basically a daily moisturizer will hydrate the surface of your skin and a serum will hydrate the deeper layers of your skin. So I started using this instead of a regular moisturizer and I think I'm never going back. My skin looks more radiant and youthfull.

The perfect red lip

If you read my favorite lipsticks for fall/winter post then you know I like to wear a red lip all year long. Today I'm gonna show you how you get the perfect red lip that lasts all night using just 5 simple steps. So let's get started.

1. The first step is perhaps the most overlooked one. Use a lipprimer! You put primer on your face to make your foundation last longer right? So why not do the same with your lips. My all time favorite is the MAC prep+prime lipprimer. It smooths out the surface of your lips which in turn will make it easier to apply your lipliner. 

What is your acne telling you?

Struggeling with acne? I was for a very long time, but then I came across this article about the reasons you might be breaking out and let me tell you it changed my life. Sounds a bit dramatic right? But it really did though..

You can find the reasons behind your breakouts by looking exactly where you're breaking out. This theory is based on the eastern tradition of face mapping. Basically there's 5 zones on your face and each correlates to another reason. So without keeping you any longer, here are the 5 zones and the reasons behind your breakouts.
