CUTERA Laser Treatment #BeautyBreak

     With science and advancement of technology, having a beautiful face and body is within reach. There are so many dermatology clinics offering different techniques for that so-called 'I woke up like this' beauty. If my memory serves me right, the word dermatology before equates to surgery. One if going under the knife. But now, treatments are non-invasive meaning no downtime and needle are required.

     The star of face and beauty aesthetics today is laser treatment. And when you say laser treatment, it's a kind of treatment that uses laser equipment to treat minor and major areas of the face and body. There are different laser treatments being offered nowadays and did you know that there is a big difference aside from the price? Well, I'll share a brief of that below. But first, let me introduce to you CUTERA Laser Treatment. A piece of brief information about this laser, the types of machine, and my personal experience below :)

How to Find the Perfect Style for Your Body Type

     Finding the perfect outfit to compliment your body type may be a difficult task to master, especially when you don't understand basic fashion principles. But making the right choices can dramatically change the way you look and give you an instant boost a confidence. In this article, I'm going to show you exactly what to wear and what to avoid depending on body your shape.

     First of all, you have to know what your body shape is to begin with. If you have narrow shoulders, but a wider waist, then you're considered pear shaped. If you have wider shoulders, you will be identified as an apple shaped body. If your shoulders are the same width as your waist, your body type is considered rectangular and if you're top heavy with wide hips and a narrow waist, you have what is considered an hourglass shaped body.

Product Review: Pink Sugar Sugar Tint (Lip & Cheek Tint)

     Hello dearies! Sharing with you a quick review of Pink Sugar Sugar Tint (Lip & Cheek) today. These babies were sent to me by Pink Sugar Cosmetics months ago but I wasn't able to try it immediately because I still have other lipsticks to swatch but dang, after trying those nude shades in the collection, I'm hooked! If you are a self-confessed lipstick lover, I'm sure that you already have a tube or more of this inside your lipstick arsenal. I bet that these sugar tints will be a mainstay in your stash once you've tried a shade or two. I always get compliments when I'm sporting their nudes.

     If you dream of having a Kylie lipstick, maybe you should try this first because aside from the price, these are highly-pigmented and you'll receive more bang for your buck! I'm not good at description but looking at the photos and swatches below, I can say that some shades will pass as dupes to Kylies. So without further ado, my thoughts on Pink Sugar Sugar Tints. Read more below :)
