Where, What and Who update

Hello, people of the interwebs.

Just a quick update  letting you know where I have been, what I have done and who I have been hangin with.

First the where.

I have been mostly home, due to car troubles so I haven't really gone anywhere except to the grocery store. And I have to admit I like smaller grocery stores better than the larger chains stores.

Second the what.

Well,I have done a lot without having a car. I ran two giveaways that went pretty decent, considering they were my first giveaways ever. I won a giveaway , but haven't recieved it yet, but I hear this product is pretty good, so I am excited about that.

I started a new segment on my Youtube channel called Beauty News Network you can read about that on themakeupsquid.com. I hit 300 Subbies on Youtube!  The giveaway really helped with that, but didn't get me to 300.

Third the who.

I haven't seen anyone for a while on account of the car situation. But I like being at home with my lil family.
My friend Julie started her own blog, so I have been helping her out with images and stuff, I will write a spotlight post on her blog soon on themakeupsquid.com

So, thats my update I hope you found it exhilarating.

Beauty News Network

Hello, my lovelies!

I have some big news! News that I didn't think I would ever be sharing with you guys, now its not that big to some people, but it's big to me :)

There has been a project that I have been to get off the ground for a while. I even tried to get a partner involved, but that didn't work out, I think we were aiming at different things and I am kinda glad it didn't work out, because this is my baby and honestly I would cry if someone else tore it up.

Beauty News Network

Or B.N.N for short. B.N.N is a network that will bring you videos that I found insightful, smart or just plain cool, that I feel need to be shared.

I am planning on doing segments on just one subject, like the next episode will feature only skin care videos or articles. Every video will feature a question of the day ( QOTD ) to keep the conversation going.

I do see this growing in my heart and would love to have all my blogger buddies be apart of it.
I am looking for content to feature, video or blogpost, whether its yours or your favorite bloggers, please feel free to email Themakeupsquid@gmail.com anything you would like featured on the B.N.N. As long as it is beauty, blogger, vlogger related.

I am very excited because I uploaded the video last night at around midnight and I already received a lot of views and comments on it, now I know thats not a big deal, but for me its amazing!!!

So here she is! The first episode of B.N.N!

Please leave me any advice, suggestions and/or encouragement to continue this journey.

Something I like

So, today I thought I would share with you something I like.


Music:

I like all kinds of music, but the music that speaks to me the most is music from the 80's. Right now a song that dear to me is sing your life by Morrissey who was the lead singer for The Smiths back in the day.

you can have a listen by watching this video.


I love the sound of his voice and his lyrics. A saying in my house "Morrissey is always right."

What kind of music do you listen to?

Ultra Lift Transformer Anti-Age Skin Corrector

Hello, Beautiful!

I have another lil miracle in a tube for you. First, let me tell you that I was afraid to us this product. I was thinking okay this thing is going to irritate me and cause major breakouts, but for the sake of the blog I had to try it.

The smell is typical Garnier, nicely scented. The texture is nice and creamy, but not goopy. Application in very nice and feels great on your skin. I have to say it did tighten up my skin. Have you ever used those under eye rollers that tightened up the eye area? Well this is that for your whole face. My face felt firm, but soft. I did notice a immediate difference in the look of my pores and overall complexion. I like the feeling, as it feels like a veil on my face protecting my skin as well as making my skin look better. It does have a transforming effect to it, but nothing like a bb cream.

I do like to layer this with the Garnier 5 sec blur, thats when I see wow results and my skin looks very nice with these two matched up. My makeup requires less blemish fixing and less foundation.

Ultra Lift Transformer Anti-Age Skin Corrector

Garnier says:

As skin ages, wrinkles and loss of firmness occur, and skin begins to look less smooth and less luminous. Some anti-aging creams take time to help correct the signs of aging, but you want to see a more immediate transformation. 

Auto-Adjusting Texture, Transforms any skin tone

With breakthrough transforming technology, the Ultra-Lift Transformer provides a double transformation for skin.

Instant Transformation:
The auto-adjusting texture transforms on contact with skin for immediate correction and brightening. It releases micro-pigments that instantly adjust to any skin tone whether you are fair or medium to deep, making skin flawless, smooth and radiant.

Over Time Transformation:
The formula with Pro-Retinol from Nature, which is developed through the process of green chemistry, boosts natural cell renewal while actually protecting skin's surface moisture barrier, to help prevent dryness.* Wrinkles are reduced and firmness is restored.

Instantly: Skin is smooth, luminous and even-toned.
In 5 Days: Skin is transformed, it feels firmer and the appearance of fine lines are minimized.
In 4 Weeks: Wrinkles are reduced and a more youthful look is restored.

Formulation Facts:
- Dermatologist tested for safety
- Non comedogenic – won't clog pores
- Allergy tested
- Gentle to skin
- Non-greasy

I love that it has immediate results and well as over time with use benefits and that SPF 20 helps with summer right around the corner. This is a product I will repurchase and recommend to anyone who needs a boost with skin firmness and wrinkles.

Here is a picture of me with both products on my face.

I think I just found my new profile pic, how often do you change your profile picture?

Top 10 uses of Argan Oil and How to spot a fake

Argan oil is sometimes called liquid gold and is an ancient beauty product that has been used by moroccan women for over 700 years. Those process to extract argan oil from the small seeds is very time consuming, but worth the wait. Argan oil like many other great products has many counterfeits.

How to spot a fake.

Read the ingredients. The packaging should read 100% argan oil or 100% argania spinosa kernel oil, many companies especially from China add only 1% of the oil and claim argan oil as the main ingredient.

Another way to spot a fake is the bottle, pure argan oil is always placed in a dark glass bottle to preserve the oil and its benefits, be wary of anything claiming to be argan oil in another type of container. Light breaks down argan oils healing and restorative properties.

Argan oil is so difficult and time consuming to extract the price for a pure bottle should cost around $25 and up. There is no such thing as cheap argan oil.

Pure argan oil has a mild nutty scent, anything with a strong scent or no scent at all have been heated during production process.

100% pure argan oil should be smooth and silky absorbing into your hair and skin in minutes.

Argan oil can be used by anyone regardless of skin type.

Top 10 uses of Argan Oil

1. Face Moisturizer. I apply at night and wake with a soft and healed face and any breakouts are healing with visible results.

2. Hydrating Toner. Add a few drops of argan oil to your favorite facial toner to hydrate and tone simultaneously.

3. Rejuvenating & Brightening Face Mask.  Add a few drops of argan oil to your store-bought mask or make your own.

4. Exfoliating Lip Scrub and Moisturizer – To smooth and moisturize your lips I apply a small amount to my lips twice a day.

5. Leave-on Conditioner I apply this to damp hair two drops and style as usual.

6. Hair Styling Shine.When your hair is dry, I only use 1 drop for the method.

7. Overnight Hair Treatment. Massage this to scalp and hair with a shower cap overnight and wash in the morning.

8. Cuticle and Heel Softener. I use argan oil in my dry areas and I love it.

9. Body and Bath Oil.  I am a after oil after shower girl and I love it, I think argan oil is taking over my virgin olive oil obsession.

10. Brush conditioner. I add just one drop of argan oil to my brush cleanser and my brushes have never been softer.

I received this bottle of argan oil from Lavina skin care as a free gift with their Lavina skin care hydrating facial serum.
