My Organic Makeup Routine

Before I was pregnant I always heard things like “you can’t wear makeup during pregnancy because it’s not good for the baby to consume the chemicals etc”. It was a relief that I consulted with the doctor and he said it’s practically safe to wear makeup during pregnancy, however there are some ingredients that should be avoided and perhaps it is better to wear organic products. So, after some research I found this organic brand Naturaglace from Japan and slowly I’d started to go organic, starting with makeup.

Naturaglace is made of 100% natural and organic ingredients. Their products do not contain synthetic surfactant, synthetic polymers, silicon, tar colorant, synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances or mineral oils (harsh chemicals free). 
Below are the 4 organic cosmetic products that I use almost daily:

<Makeup Cream SPF30 PA ++>

This is an all in one base that helps adjust colour unevenness, it is made up of three different pearl powders that helps cover bumps and pores in the skin. Once blended, it gives you an instant glow. This cream is SPF30 PA++ so you don't have to worry about applying another layer of sunscreen.

Price: JPY 2800 + Tax

<Pure BB Cream SPF34 PA ++>

This is a moisturising BB cream as it speaks for it's name! It has a non-sticky texture that covers dullness and visible pores.  Comes in two shades - NB0 and NB1.

I purchased the darker shade NB1 for my skin tone. Usually I apply it with a brush and blend, the texture is a little thick but a little goes a long way and it finishes with a radiant look. The coverage is medium and also able to cover the redness around my nose.

Price: JPY 2800 + Tax

<Cheek Colour Cream>

 

Available in 3 shades PK, AP, CO. The shade I got is CO for Coral. I really like the creamy texture, it's easy to blend and buildable and gives a natural look.

Price: JPY 3200 + Tax

<Rouge Drop Lipstick>

Lastly, this Rouge Drop lipstick uses organic ingredients and has a sheer texture and glides on smoothly which is also quite moisturising.  Though it has a limited colour range, the colour I picked RD01 is suitable for day and night, it gives you a natural red as the red has a sense of transparency and I think this colour was perfect for me for normal daily use.

Price: JPY 3200 + Tax

To conclude, I’m very impressed with these organic makeup products and love their natural ingredients, it makes me feel safe using these products during pregnancy knowing that I'm not passing any harsh chemicals to the baby and even if I'm not pregnant I would continue to use organic products because it's gentler on the skin and why would one want to use harsh chemicals on your skin that are not only dangerous to your health but also rough on your skin?

All of Naturaglace products can be removed by just soap and water which is absolutely safe for sensitive skin or during pregnancy. They are also made in Japan and I purchased them in Okinawa, Japan.  However, they are also available in Hong Kong from BEYORG.

Mama to be :)

It's been awhile since I'd last updated my blog and yes, that's because I'm pregnant!! :)

Prior to my pregnancy I'd slowly switched my skin care products and cosmetics to organic products, because I believe that the lesser chemicals we put on our skin is better! And it is a good way to start to go natural.  

I'll soon be sharing the products that I've been using, it is suitable for everyone and not just for mom-to-be.......so stayed tuned!

一支眼線筆，畫出Halloween妝

Halloween又快到喇, 今個月如果有party去的話，不防化吓啲玩味妝啦.

其實一支眼線筆可以畫出好多唔同造型!

今次我用的是Kate 眼線筆. 畫幼同粗線都好易handle.

一開始可以在眼角位置畫上蜘蛛網, 然後慢慢加上蜘蛛仔.

It's this time of the year again - Halloween - where people dress up for Halloween parties, how about trying something different with a Halloween makeup?

All you need to draw something cool is one liquid eyeliner. This time I used Kate Liquid eyeliner, it's very thin and dark which is really easy to handle as well.

Start at the corner of the eye with a spider web and then slowly add in as many spiders as you desire.

蜘蛛仔點樣畫? 非常簡單!  

How to draw spiders? It's super easy.

1. 畫一個細圓圈（這是個頭） Start with a little circle - as the head

2. 然後畫一個大少少的做身體 Draw a slightly larger circle beneath it as the body

3. 頭上畫兩隻幼幼的腳（向上的）, 身上隨意畫上唔同方向的幼線做腳 add on thin legs on each side of the body as the spider legs - make sure they are long and thin.

4. 完成! And you're done!

如果想多少少變化，另一邊面可以用同一支眼線筆畫上不同大細的黑鳥, 令整個妝容很有神秘感!

If you are looking for variations, try this on the other side of the face - by drawing different size of black birds to increase the mysterious look!

希望您哋鍾意

Hope you all enjoyed this and Happy Halloween !!

不含添加劑，防腐劑及化學製劑 :: Enspri 深層平衡保濕乳液

皮膚成日都好乾,又唔上粉...點算好？ 其實好多時都可能係因為用嘅護膚品只保濕皮膚表面，而冇去到深層同冇鎖緊肌底層的水份.

 

Enspri 係美國美容品牌.  深層平衡保濕乳液{日霜}（Hydra Balance Deeply Hydrating and Firming Moisturizer) :: 佢嘅獨特配方能鎖緊肌底層的水份及膠原蛋白和彈性蛋白, 仲有效減淡細紋同皺紋添!

 

主要成份：

維太命E, 角鯊烯 - 都係具有高效抗氧化能力，能減少細紋產生.

透明質酸 & Jojoba Oil  - 保濕性極佳，而Jojoba oil 仲會防止水份流失.

乳木果油 - 可以穩定，保持細胞間複雜的結構，對修復脫水肌膚及深蹭皺紋有奇效

 

我幾鍾意佢嘅包裝，唔同一般護膚品要開蓋，佢係鈕嘅，個pump就會上嚟，非常方便！

 

我用完都覺得好滋潤，質地一D都唔會”笠”， 夠哂保濕!! 尤其是日日都喺冷氣環境下，選用保濕又鎖水功能嘅護膚品真係好重要㗎!!

特別＊聖誕妝＊分享:: Snowflakes Face Painting Makeup

如果今年可以過一個落雪嘅聖誕真係會好難忘!

今次個底色我用咗紛紅色胭脂,掃混個額頭, 再加少少紫色眼影, 增加dreamy感覺。

由中間開始畫上snowflakes.  因為snowflakes比較細緻,所以要用支好幼嘅掃.

Snowflakes 點樣畫? 好簡單, 先畫一個"米"字, 然後喺尾尾畫上個細 v.

之後隨意畫多一兩個 snowflakes or swirls.

記住要畫多D點點，感覺會 snowy D!

This time I used a pink blush as the base colour and then I added a little bit of purple to make it more of a dreamy look.

Starting off with a big snowflake in the centre - remember to use a thin brush because the snowflakes are very detailed so you need to make sure your brush is thin enough to draw the lines.  How to draw the snowflakes? Super easy, start by drawing a "cross" or a star and then at the end of it add a small "v".

Then just randomly draw 1-2 more snowflakes above the brows and add some swirls.

You can also add more round dots around the forehead & the flakes which will create a more snowy effect.

Enjoy & happy holidays!

::白色聖誕靚靚妝:: White Christmas Inspired Makeup::

Are you looking forward to Christmas as much as I am?  I’ve been thinking a lot about white Christmas this year and here I came up with this inspired look.

先用白色由眼角位置開始. Curls 可以間單畫, 然後好似倒轉咗嘅S畫上大大粒圓點.去到另一邊眼角再畫上curls, 我覺得唔需要同另一邊一樣!

我會再點多少少白色, 喺大圓點周圍掃上細點. 大同細點加埋個effect 會多點立體感同有一種snowy 感覺☺️
想再bling bling D就可以加D閃粉! 今次喱個party look真係好間單, 只要用一隻色已經夠哂sharp, 好適合Christmas 呀!

First of all, start from the corner of your eye with some curls.  Then start to draw big round dots as if you were outlining a horizontal “S” until you reach the other side of your eye.  I think the curls doesn't necessarily have to be identical to give it a more natural look.

After that I’d start adding some smaller dots surrounding the bigger dots, for a more snowy effect.  And this is what we want for a white Christmas right?  You can also add some glitter in to emphasize the effect. 

希望你哋鍾意 :) and lets start to count down to Christmas!!

Hope you all liked this and lets start to count down to Christmas!!
