POM Friday

Regal AlfieI haven’t done a POM Friday post of Alfie in ages. Although his photos sneak into blog posts every now and again, I really missed taking him out on adventures each week, snapping pics – and posting them every Friday.

So, it’s back for the time being. Many people love his sweet smile, but don’t get me started on how bossy he is to strangers and other dogs! Whoooo….wee. That smile doesn’t last for long when he’s ready to boss someone around, let me tell ya.

Here’s some sweet photos I took of him last week!

Look Of The Day: Dior Skyline

Dior Skyline Collection Fall 2016

It’s been ages since I’ve done a step-by-step tutorial on how to achieve a ‘look of the day’. This time, I’ve created a radiant, natural look with the Dior Skyline Collection that launched August 1, 2016. The products are now available in stores and online.

HeaderDiorSkylineWant to see how I made this dewy-natural look using mainly Dior products?

Dior1-3

1. Bobbi Brown Extra Eye Repair Cream | Apply an eye cream under the eyes to add extra moisture to help concealer not settle into fine lines and provide a perfect canvas for application.
2. philosophy hope in a jar | My favourite moisturizer, it makes my skin look dewy, and healthy looking. Apply a generous amount to the face, and don’t forget the neck!
3. Diorskin Forever Foundation |  Use your favourite foundation to create a natural, or full-coverage look to your face. I mixed the shades 10, and 30 together to create a shade to suit my skintone.

Dior4-6Steps 4 through 6 is all about concealing.

4. Fix-It Colour (2-in-1 Prime and Conceal) Green | If you have red undertones like myself, twist up the green shade of the Fix-It Colour (2-in-1 Prime and Conceal) and pop it on any places you feel that need to be neutralized. Read more about Fix-It Colour’s on my previous blog post. 
5. Fix-It Colour (2-in-1 Prime and Conceal) Yellow | Dark under eyes? Use the yellow corrector to brighten up any dark circles. Read more about Fix-It Colour’s on my previous blog post.
6. Cle de Peau concealer | To cover up any yellow tones you put down under the eyes, lightly apply a creamy concealer and dab to blend in the colour with your ring finger.

Hydrating my under eyes with DHC revitalizing moisture strips

DHC-packageAhh, spa night I look forward to you. I try to have a pamper session once every two weeks, and last night was one of them. I popped on some DHC revitalizing moisture strips under my eyes and left them on as long as possible. It says on the box you could wear them 20-30 minutes, or leave them on overnight. I wore them a bit in between. Stuck them to my face around 8pm and kept them on til I went to bed around 10:30.

If you’re wondering how comfortable they were, I didn’t notice any irritation on my sensitive skin. My under eye area is extremely dry, which is why I need to use my Bobbi Brown Extra Eye Repair cream twice a day, but cannot afford to do so, so I only use it once a day lol.
