Face massage

Hello!

It's been awhile. Sorry! I was totally busy packing stuff away so I don't forget anything and even in packing I can be anxious. What to take?!! Do I need this?!! What is this for again?! *ugh!*

With all that stress,I want to pamper myself by doing facial massage.

I love facial massage. Who doesn't? It is nicer when somebody do it for us. ^__^ but not all can afford that luxury so I might as well give myself a massage.

Just follow this video from Hisako Tanaka and she will show how to do your own massage. Obviously I am jealous of the women in that video. How lucky! If I was her, I would probably fall asleep! ^__^

It's a bit longer but I think it is worth of knowledge.

Happy Massaging! ^__^

Beauty Commercials Throughout Decades

I love to watch how beauty evolve, you can see beauty from different decades represent in the commercials. ^_^ Though I've only familiar with Revlon commercial with Cindy Crawford in it because she was everywhere when I was younger, I mean literally every magazines that my older cousins bought and her face was in billboards around the city and it makes me feel like "I want to be like Cindy Crawford when I grow up" brainwashed. ^_^

Enjoy!

Beauty Can Kill You. Not Literally.

I am not anti make up person. My blog is mostly about reviewing make up stuff. It just beauty has been my interest for long time, good or bad side of it.

Eyelash curler

My bf thought eyelash curler is torturing device and I think most men too. I have an experience that I clip it a bit hard and made my eyes hurt. I know... so from there, if the curler is not working, just toss it away!

Eyeliner pencil

Eyeliner are the best in cosmetics because it makes so much different on your eyes but if you aren't careful, it can poke your eye. ouch! I've been there. Thank god it doesn't lead to anything serious.

Brazilian Wax

Do not believe anyone said "waxing" is like ant biting. NO,IT ISN'T!!!! It stinks even after waxing.

Scrubbing

Too much scrubbing doesn't makes the skin look healthier or cleaner. It leaves so much rash and redness, you don't need a blusher, if you like that.

Mascara

In 1930's, a mascara can cause a women blind. eeek!

Perfume

photo: perfume can get rid somebody sometimes.

If French queen Catherine de Medici or her perfumer, René Bianco, gifted you with a pair of perfumed gloves. History you're dead.


I guess too much perfume can cause allergy to other people and not everyone will like your scent, keep it light, please.

Tweezers

photo: it still hurt

Hair dyes

Always check before you dye your hair. We never know or just dye it at salon. If something wrong happen, just sue them! ha ha ha (evil laugh)

Plastic surgery (obviously)

She died because she want to make her ass looks bigger. Does it worth it? no.

Beauty Remedy in history

photo:victorian babes

Before there's ton of beauty products, women made their own remedy for keeping their skin in tip top condition.

Here is a lists of the beauty remedies.

1. Rose Balm- For hands, feet, elbows, and general dry skin

• 1/2 pound hogs lard (can be purchased in grocery stores labeled "lard")
• 1/4 pound or less of white wax (candle stubs or canning wax work well)
• Rose water*
• Alkanet root or cochineal pigment (if desired)

2. Four Thieves Vinegar- Cleaning and freshening of rooms

• Medium bottle apple cider vinegar
• Dried or fresh:
  • Sage
  • Rosemary
  • Thyme
  • Lavender
• Glass container with cork

3. Cleaning of the skin

• White wine
• Rosemary (fresh or dried)

4. Scented powder for body or hair

• Glass jar with cork
• Dried lavender flowers
• Starch (corn starch is used late in the 18th century, wheat starch is more common during the period. If you can find dried, powdered laundry starch, this is perfect!)

Personally, I won't do it myself but perhaps you can give it try or you already knew it, share with me how it turns out. ^_^

Too much of Beauty Make my eyes hurt.

If that women is natural beauty and just used make up to enhance her appearance, it's fine but I just don't get it the girl gone too far, does she really think she's beautiful with those tons of eyeshadow glitter discotheque on her eyes? Confidence conquers it all, it seems.

For me everything is got to be balance in make up or even fashion. Too much of everything is making a beautiful girl naturally into some little monster of vanity in a bad way.

note: I am not referring to Lady Gaga "little monster"

Too much tan

photo: is this beautiful for you?

Having a color on the skin is nice but too change too much is just bad looking.

Too colorful/Much Eyeshadow

photo: Nice for editorial not in person. *sigh*

It's fun and beautiful when it done nicely. I am pretty much guilty in this department as well sometimes. It is a mistake when I think I am painting rather than enhancing. BIG DIFFERENCE.
Live and learn.

Too long nail and too much stuff on it

photo: kawaii nails

It is beautiful and it looks like art on nails but seriously, how does that person eerr.. do her "thing". Personally, I like my nail short and colored. If I get too far with it, slap me.

Colored eyebrow

A new fad I recently I found out. Colored your brow. Would you try it on daily basis? Not for me, thank you.

Over plucked eyebrow

photo: brow

Eyebrow are meant to frame your face. Over doing it, make you clown-ish. Unless you have fetish with clown looks.

That's all my "I-Just-Don't-Get-It" beauty rant. ^_^ Is there any beauty that you think gone too far and just plain ugly? ^_^

All and all, everyone has beauty disaster, I had my hair bleached, too much eye make up and mess up false lashes. Oh how I love being a girl!
