Monistat Primer Update!
So I heard it was hard to find but I found this baby at my local Albertson's. I love this product! It feels light like Smashbox primer. I wore this yesterday for 12 hours and even took a sweaty 3-hour nap! And my makeup still looked fresh at the end of the night. Pictures are also taken from my new camera! I like the front lcd screen but it makes me focus only on it, so I look sort of crossed eyed in my pictures -_- Next time I'll remember to look at the lens and not on the tiny screen in front of me! /)_-
Taken in the morning before I went to class. Haha I wanted to take it at an angle but now it just looks like I have a neck problem. Oh wells! This is just to show you guys the difference :P

This is about 6 hours later without blotting or reapplying powder. I go to Fullerton, which is inland, so it is extremely hot and humid! I always have to shower every time I get home from school! Notice how my hair is all frizzy compared to how smooth it is in the morning? -_-

Also taken in the morning... Just showing my mood right now... so frustrated since school is ending!!! I have so much due I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight! :[

P.S. If you want a clearer view of the pictures, just go ahead and click on them. I don't know why it doesn't look as clear when I upload them.

Happy Mother's Day!
We also got my auntie a present from the salon my sister works at for mday because we're like her daughters!
Haha my sister and I went to the asian market and cleaned them out! We restocked our seaweed stash! ;D Let me tell you, it wasn't pretty ringing all of these junk up! And this is my share of the stash, imagine if it's combined with my sister's stash! =0
I did a little shopping at H&M!!! I want more clutches because I'm tired of carrying my giant bags around. And when I do bring em around, I throw a bunch of stuff in there! It feels like I'm carrying a brick around /)_-
Peachy Clutch $14.95
Oh dear lord! Their bikinis are $4.95 a piece! I just had to buy them even though I have tons of VS ones. There were cuter ones in the back but they were pricier. I like these bras because you can add or remove the extra padding! Imagine why I'm happy! :D AND! They give your girls great support and lift!

Are You Wearing Expired Makeup?
I used to think that makeup never expires because you do not consume it. But I was wrong and was disgusted to find out that I was wearing some expired makeup ;\ Oh and when I went to the Fashion District last week, I noticed that they had a lot of MAC and other name brand products but DO NOT buy them. Some of the colors were discontinued awhile back but yet I saw them displayed!!! Oh and btw, if you don't remember where and how long ago you bought your makeup, it's time to throw them out as well! You could get infections from the bacteria buildup in your product! Gross right?! o_O

Monistat Gel as a Face Primer?! o_O
I thought the exact same thing like what many of you are probably thinking right now! There is no way I am putting vagina yeast cream on my face! But I did further research just to see how ludicrous and to seek some form of truth! All I have to say is, I would give it a try since its only about $7 (1.5oz) and my MAC face primer is out -_-
Monistat's Chafing Relief Powder-Gel is actually a gel to prevent chaffing of the skin on thighs, breast, or anywhere with moisture. It also helps prevent and clear rashes from irritation by keeping the applied area dry.
Unknown source:
Why Women Love It
· Dries to a powder finish.
· Creates a matte surface so makeup glides on and stays on.
· Smooths out large pores, uneven skin tone and blemishes.
· Prevents breakouts.
· Allows for much smoother for eye shadow application on mature skin.
· Keeps make-up looking fresh by locking it in.
· Makes your face look youthful and dewy.
· Helps concealer glide on.
· Doesn't feel greasy.
· Helps mineral make up last longer and look less cakey.
· Makeup stays on for 8+ hours, looking as good as when first applied.
· Excellent mattifier on top of any cream/lotion/sunscreen.
· Fragrance free.
· Non-irritating.
· Non-toxic.
· Non-staining
· Smooths skin texture which reflects light and eliminates shadows (so you look younger)
· Tasteless (if someone kisses your cheek)
· Non-pore-clogging (non-comedogenic)
· Keeps your makeup fresh in 100+ degree heat (great for summer)
· Gentle enough to use every day.
· Softens appearance of fine lines.
Why It Works
The secret ingredient in Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel is dimethicone, which is found in all the high-end foundation/face primers. Dimethicone is a silicone emollient (a skin softener) that forms a silky, breathable barrier between the skin on your face and your foundation.
This dimethicone barrier has 3 benefits:
1> This barrier locks in your moisturizer under your make-up to keep your skin nourished.
2> The dimethicone barrier prevents oils from your skin from breaking through to your foundation. Since the oils can't get through, your skin never looks greasy or oily. No more blotting.
3> While dimethicone prevents oil from getting out, it also prevents your foundation from getting in. This means that your skin won't absorb your makeup so your makeup looks fresh all day, even on hot days. It holds makeup in place so well and for so many hours, many women report that they have stopped powdering their faces, giving their skin a more natural, youthful look.
How to Use It
You want to use the Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel after you apply your moisturizer but before you apply your foundation.
In other words, use whatever products you normally apply to your clean, dry face, followed by a medium coat of the Monistat Powder-Gel. Wait about 2 minutes for the Monistat to dry, then apply your foundation as usual.
When applying the Monistat Chafing Relief Powder-Gel, be sure to concentrate on areas that are deeply lined and/or rough in texture to help fill-in and smooth-out. Also focus on problem oil areas like the chin and sides of nose.
P.S. I will update more about this once I get my hands on em!
