Perfect mask for a fresh feeling skin

I'm hooked on Seikisho Mask White for a number of reasons.
  • My potentially problematic, but clear skin loves it. It might not be so good if you have acne, etc.
  • It's clean and effective. You apply with one finger and it peels of like a plastic strecthy film.
  • It smells heavenly.
  • I only have to do it once a week or less.
  • I cleans all the pores and I feel like my skin is breathing afterwards. This is more effective than strip on pore cleansers!
  • It's not stingy like some of the other ones I tried.

How about you? Do you have a favorite mask? I have two other masks and treatments for different skin conditions that I will share soon.

Oscar Blandi Olio di Jasmine Hair Serum

I recently started using this amazing hair serum by Oscar Blandi. This product does everything it promises for even on my unruly hair and has a nice not very strong scent.They have it smaller trial sizes as well, but I love it enough to order the large one.

Keep you feet warm with Pedi-Sox during ped

I recently came across these innovative toeless socks. No more feeling cold when trying to polish your toe nails. Usages of it is not limited to pedicures. These fun colors can be worn with sandals as well making it easy to use for home slippers and flipflops. You can still enjoy your nice pedicure while at home with these during cooler weather. What a great idea!

I love polished toe nails and use bright colors rain or shine. Here are some of my favorite for summer...

How to clean makeup brushes?


It is best to clean your make up brushes at least once a week to avoid bacteria development. While one can use a regular foaming makeup cleanser to wash dirty brushes, more effective results are achieved by readily available brush cleaning products. The most important point about brush cleaning is to dry brushes flat on a towel as opposed to putting them in an upright position. This will make sure the bristles of the brushes will stay intact. I lost couple of brushes to bristle falling issues before I noticed what I was doing wrong.
