The Polish Look That Airbrush Make-Up Brings

one of the many Airbrush make-up kits available at Temptu

I am not too fond of make-up mainly because I do not have any inkling whatsoever on how to apply them properly. The most I can go is putting on some press powder and primping my lips with some lipstick. Otherwise, I am a total noob and I would probably look like a clown if I attempt to apply liners, blush and what-nots on my own. I must say, this is one area I do not excel and I do not think I will ever be, even if I would love to. Putting on make up really makes a woman look more polished and prettier, not to mention more professional. It also makes someone look more well-groomed and less stressed. And I think I really needed that!

That is why I consider it good news to chance upon this site that sells airbrush for makeup. For those who are well-versed in make-up I bet the art of airbrushing  is not a new thing. It has been a fad for awhile and even make-up professionals for fashion models and celebrities are using this new and innovative product for their wide clientele. For those of us who do not have the money to spend on having a professional do our make up all the time, the airbrush is our niftiest solution to having that dolled-up look at all times.

Apart from various airbrush kits, Temptu also carries a wide selection of make-up products you can choose from. Shop now and avail of their free shipping promo. It is easy to find your way around this site to explore their products and other features. You can chat with a Temptu expert online for some invaluable advise or you can even view step-by-step make-up tutorials, a perfect feature for mums like me!

Pink Fluffy Slippers for My Feet

simple pleasures, pink stuff, products for women

My feet are probably the most over-worked part of my body. Imagine them carrying my heavy weight around all day. And add my almost-24-kilo little man to the equation and I guess you can have a bird’s eye view  how much my feet will be aching for some pampering after an eventful day.

So you can just imagine my delight when I got this flimsy pair of pink slippers delivered to my doorstep a few weeks back. Their oh-so-soft texture and comfy design makes it such a delightful experience to wear them. I now use this pair at night, especially when I am in front of the computer in the wee hours, so that even when I am still working, my feet are comfortable resting in them.

The package comes with rose-flavored foot wash and lotion which I shall write about in my future post. 😉

Sharing this pinkness with the newly-revived:

We mums are very meticulous in what skin care products to use on our babies’ delicate skin. As much as we can, we only want the purest + the gentlest of products to touch our little ones skin to avoid allergies + irritation. I am just glad that there are a number of these products out in the market which we can choose from. One such product is Cetaphil. + boy, mumwrites is so delighted to be one of the Cetaphil Blogger Friends!

Cetaphil, invented in 1947 as a compounding vehicle for dermatological remedies, has been known to solve skin woes for 65 years now + is, in fact, the most prescribed brand of cleansers and moisturizers by dermatologists and pediatricians in the country. Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser was also named the Best Facial Cleanser at the Cosmopolitan Beauty Awards 2012. 

I have been familiar with Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, as me+ my sisters have used it before. I have also used it on occasions for my little one as prescribed by his pediatrician, but not aware that they actually have a complete line of skin care products for every skin type. That is why I am really glad that our friend from Cetaphil, Joel Andrada, was generous enough to send samples of these products so that I can try them myself

Apart from their very popular cleanser, here are some of the other Cetaphil products I thought you might be interested in:
