Switch To Mineral Make Up



I have heard about mineral make up (MMU) for quite a long time. Their claim of sun protection, healthy skin and barely-there make up finish have been rave a lot by renowned make up artists and make up aficionados. Even the beauty powerhouse L'Oréal came up with their MMU line followed by a lot of make up company, but I was already familiar with Youngblood, i.d bare minerals and Jane Iredale which are expensive in my vocabulary. Some experts also said that regular make up will speed the aging process,signs of wrinkles, crows feet and age spots. Most ingredients on our make up are hazardous on our skin and as a woman with a very oily skin type, I have a hard time looking for non-oily make up products. Most make up product contains comedogenic ingredients, I now know the culprit behind my breakouts, so choosing mineral make up is a must for me and such a breakthrough in the beauty industry.


When I saw a TV feature of barenaturals, a local company that sells MMU and other beauty products such as soaps, Korean fave BB cream, make up brushes and even lip and nipple solid gel. I thought oh well, it is either expensive or if it is not, then it has a bad quality. So, I searched their multiply account and googled customer reviews on their product. I am so excited when I found their very reasonable price so I allotted half of my day just to read and search about their products. I list some and ordered for a road test and boy, was I glad I took the journey. I am amazed at the result even the first time I use it. I glowed literally, the look I envied of Jennifer Lopez for a long time. I notice a lot people looking at me in a train, I was skeptical at first and shrug it off but when some people ask me what I have been using lately, I understood.
Beyond the sudden change I begin to notice on my skin, I also hope that mineral make up with it's added sun protection and other benefits can take care of my skin as I hit my 30's in five years time.

I Dream Of Paris

Things I will do in Paris

If there is one city in the world that I want to visit so bad, it is Paris. I find the city very interesting, romantic and exciting. If Disneyland is magical for kids, Paris is my wonderland. So when that time comes that I will be able to set my foot on my dream city, this is where and what I am going to spend my precious time there.


1. Visit the Eiffel Tower and Champs Elysees


My would be trip to Paris will never be complete without a visit to this famous landmarks. Some may not be familiar with Paris but the mention of these places will surely be remembered more. Probably on my first night to Paris, hopefully Christmas where the lights will be everywhere giving more beauty to them.


2. Eat macaroons, pastries and other sweets at Laduree






This shop is so famous that you have to fall in line for at least an hour and not to mention they are expensive. That made me more excited and they said that they have the most delicious macaroons and melt-in-your-mouth cupcakes. I am so looking forward to that.



3. Walk around


Parc Floral de Paris

Parisians love to walk, it is probably why they are fit even without going to a gym according to a book. They said that your time in Paris is not complete without strolling mainly in the park where for fresh air.

4. Shop, Shop, Shop




My trip will never be complete without purchasing any chic clothes that Parisians offers. I love perfumes and coats from Paris. I will go to any mall and shop as long as my feet and money can :)


5. Dine in at a café


Eating or drinking coffee outside the cafe might be a good idea while chatting with your friends or just looking around savoring your day.


6. Souvenirs!

Aside from taking photos, purchasing souvenirs have been a norm for every jetsetter. So, even a key chain version of Eiffel tower, refrigerator magnet or even pins which represents Paris is sold for me.
