Paint my face like an expert

Paint my face like an expert

The first rule: synthetic brushes have less porous bristles and are therefore more suitable to apply fluid products, whilst natural bristles are perfect for powders. If Chanel beauty experts say so, we have to trust them. Makeup is a true art, and the 'number one' beauty trick is to use high-quality tools. Brushes, large or small, must be the right ones. One of the most coveted Christmas gifts is, in fact, Les Minis de Chanel, a handy kit of brushes à porter, to carry around, when traveling, or through the day. Inside their black and gold deluxe mini-case, Chanel had a  limited edition set including six brushes, each one of them for a specific need or blending. Be careful not to confuse them: each one was conceived with a special purpose. How to choose the right one? Here are a few tips  For the base: The brush must be flat and made of synthetic fibers in order to facilitate the application of the product and avoid smudging. For the concealer: Always opt for a synthetic brush featuring compact bristles to accurately hide imperfections.



For powder : In this case the brush must be rounded and made of natural bristles to enable a firm application and a natural result. The ideal size? That of a closed fist seen from above. For eye-shadow: Our eyes require special care, which means using two different brushes: a rounded one used for blending and to create the typical halo effect of the smoky eye, and a cat's tongue-shaped brush for high-precision application. As a general rule it is better to chose brushes with a short handle, which are easier to use.

Johnson's babies know how to catch the zzzzz's

Johnson's babies know how to catch the zzzzz's

Whether you are a mum, mum to be or you know of a mum who needs some ideas on helping their babies off to sleep, the Johnnson baby sleep web site has a beautiful routine to watch including a baby massage, don't miss it. Johnson Baby as we know are leaders in baby skin care and have protecting babies skin since I can remember. So along with the beautiful Johnson's baby bedtime range, the web site and some baby sleep tips from Dr Bartle  a New Zealand based independent sleep doctor who we recently worked with here in Australia here are his tips and tricks for a beautiful sleep.


THE IDEAL BETIME ROUTINE· I usually start with not having tea too late. Say 5.00 â€" 5.30pm or earlier depending on the daytime nap schedule. A fussy baby at tea time often will reflect that they are tired. Don’t wait for Dad to get home!

Quiet play, preferably no TV. Then bath massage, and quiet time, .A feed now is good, either bottle or preferably breast. Then into cot, awake, but drowsy. Put your child down in their bed when tired, but make sure you put them down awake. However this should be before 9.00 pm Read a story (the same quiet story every night -repetition is good!), or sing, or prayer etc.Leave the bedroom when baby is drowsy and about to sleep, but before sleep if you can, so that the baby falls asleep without your presence. Look for tired cues such as rubbing eyes, jerky movements and yawningAvoid parental presence when baby goes to sleep Be in tune with your child rather than worrying what others are doingAvoid rocking or feeding your baby to sleepA constant background (white) noise will help sleep onset. Avoid complete silence.Maintain naps for as long as possible. The better they sleep in the day, the better they will sleep at night· Nothing very spectacular here, but it has to be boring that’s the key!! No fancy tricks, no gimmicks, just simple routine. 


FOR MUM: · Take advantage of the maternity leave. Don’t assume that you will be ready for work in a few days after the birth!

Routine for your baby is most important. Routines can be established by 2 months, but don’t expect baby to comply immediately. I would not start to be too directive until after 6 months, but individuals, both Mums and babies, are all different, even within the same family. Take every opportunity to nap! The cleaning, dusting, vacuuming, washing up can wait (it won’t go away!), sleep for you (and your baby), should be your priority.Try to take some time out for yourself. In order to survive, you need to be able to trust others close to us with your baby. Once or twice per week you need to set time aside for yourself. Sleep deprivation can affect the whole family 


JOHNSON’S® baby bedtime
Dreamland awaits for your baby when you use JOHNSON’S® baby Bedtime range of products as part of a nightly routine. Researchers at JOHNSON & JOHNSON ® partnered with leading pediatric sleep expert Dr Jodi A Mindell PhD, to design a 3-step routine that has been proven to help baby sleep better in just one week.

Total relief AVEENO® has all the right ingredients

Total relief AVEENO® has all the right ingredients

New and improved AVEENO® SKIN RELIEF MOISTURISING LOTION now has a new triple oat complex to soothe and nourish skin all year round. AVEENO® is a well known, trusted and reliable brand. One of the ingredients listed on their skin relief lotion is dimethicone, this valuable ingredient just works wonders on a dry skin to plump it up and stop that important skin dehydration from happening.
Dimethicone works as a skin protectant and as a skin conditioner, it prevents water loss by forming a hydrating barrier on the skin. This ingredient has a unique fluidity that makes it easily spreadable. When applied to the skin, its known for creating a subtle gloss that feels smooth and silky to touch. It also acts a mild water repellent by forming a protective barrier on the skin, and can fill in fine lines/wrinkles on the face, giving it a temporary “plump” look. Which is excellent for all the fine lines and wrinkles that we forget about on our body.

Dimethicone is believed to perform a variety of useful functions, and many studies have been conducted to confirm these beliefs. In a Skin Research and Technology study, the ingredient was found to soothe and protect the skin of individuals suffering from sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) induced irritant contact dermatitis (ICD). In addition, it works to reduce redness caused by rosacea and can function as an anti-inflammatory. For this reason, it is often used in conjunction with more irritating ingredients, particularly UV absorbers like titanium oxide and zinc oxide.

AVEENO® SKIN RELIEF MOISTURISING LOTION offers instant relief from itchiness associated with dryness and will moisturize for 24 hours to provide long-lasting protection from skin dehydration. Ideal for use on chafed, chapped or cracked skin the new fragrance free formula is kind enough to use on dry, sensitive skin, and Dimethicone is helping this beautiful lotion to offer that relief. The cosmetic industry values this ingredient for its powerful ability to keep the skin adequately lubricated, even during the driest and harshest winter weather.

AVEENO have just made this power packed lotion with the new TRIPLE OAT COMPLEX  which moisturises to relieve itch and contains a high level of natural antioxidants, including several forms of vitamin E.
1. Oat oil is rich in essential fatty acids (linoleic acid) and natural emollients that help to protect, soften, smooth and hydrate the skin. Also replenishes the skin’s natural oils (lipids) to help restore and maintain the skin’s natural protective barrier.

2. Oat Essence contains a number of natural antioxidants which are soothing for dry compromised skin. A natural antioxidant called avenanthramide is found exclusively in oats and has been shown to have 10 to 30 times the antioxidant activity of the others natural barrier.

3. Oatmeal Flour  for skin moisture. This is oat ground to a very ne particle size that deposits on the skin and forms a water tight barrier. Oatmeal our or colloidal oatmeal contains a high concentration of proteins, lipids and sugars. This water-binding lm holds moisture in the top layers of the skin thus improving dry skin conditions and alleviating itch. Oatmeal has also been shown to act as a buffer system, helping restore the normal pH of the skin.

For all skin types, the fragrance free formula gently cares for even the most dry and sensitive skin. AVEENO® SKIN RELIEF MOISTURISING LOTION:  354ml RRP: $12.99
