good evening pretty people! so i promised myself that i would blog everyday..it's obvious i'm ALREADY slacking. sorry for that! but to make up --pun intended-- for my lack of blog posts, i decided that Mondays are now Makeover Mondays! i'm not entirely sure how this will go, but i'm excited! so here's an overview of what i'm thinking for it:
1) small make up tutorials for focal points on the face (ex: eyes, cheeks, lips..)
2) my favorite make up products or the "IT" products for the season!
3) clothing makeovers that consist of using one article of clothing for tons of different looks.
oh and i'm definitely planning on throwing photos in!
now, i know this stuff sounds like it's been done before and i'm sure it has, but i like to throw in biblical facts on things-- you all should know this by now! so now that you know the drill on mondays, let's get started!
this Makeover Monday tip may seem small and slightly boring, but in my opinion it's important because it has to do with the main focal point of every face-- the eyes!..hence my catchy title ;) our eyes should be one of the most important organs of our bodies! to me the eyes hold so many emotions and are beautifully captivating. they are also a very big blessing to me. if it weren't for our gracious and merciful Heavenly Father, i probably wouldn't have had my eyesight after i was diagnosed with an ulcer on my cornea 3 or 4 years ago. i claimed Psalm 13:3 as my verse "consider me and answer, Lord, my God. restore brightness to my eyes.." it goes onto say in verses 5&6 "but i have trusted in Your faithful love; my heart will rejoice in Your deliverance. i will sing to the Lord because He has treated me generously." how beautiful is that?! this is tangible proof that the Lord knew what would happen in every stage of my life before i was born! through continuous prayer and medications i was healed! the Lord gave us eyes to see HIS beauty in a lost world, so once again we should be doing everything we can to take care of such a precious gift from Him! i heard today that the skin around our eyes is 40% thinner than the rest of our face! that means they are fragile and must be taken care of! there are two things i believe enhance our eyes and help them age beautifully-- eye cream and mascara! i'm only 19 but i've been using an "anti aging" eye cream for about a year now because i want to make sure my skin is taken care of. (can you tell i'm a huge skin care fan?!) the product i use is Estee Lauder Time Zone Eye Cream. i apply the cream at night after i cleanse my face and every morning i can tell that the skin surrounding my eyes feels smoother and looks healthier. now onto mascara! i know there are a lot of people out there that don't wear any kind of make up and that's just fine, but adding 1-2 coats of mascara can liven up the most tired eyes! there are MANY different types of mascaras for all kinds of eyes so you can bet on it that there will be one that suits you! my favorite mascara as of right now is Loreal Double Extend- it's a double sided mascara with a primer to make your eyelashes look fuller and longer, but the best part about this mascara is that it doesn't smudge when trying to remove it. the primer+mascara form tubes around each lash making removing the mascara super easy! so i know those tips seem boring, but it's the little things that count right?! hopefully these mondays will be fun for everyone, i never want to have a dull blog because i am NOT a dull person!!! :)
here's your challenge until i post again: guard your eyes. physically guard them by using the appropriate products, but more importantly guard them mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. focus on the beauty and the good in life instead of the problems that happen all around us.
lots of love!
