AUNTY APPROVED MAKEUP TO GET FOR YOUR PRE-TEEN'S BUDDING MAKEUP OBSESSION

   Hi, babes! Emma here, and as an aunty to several pre-teen’s with birthdays coming up this Summer, I got the wonderful idea to compile a list of great makeup products to dip their toes into the wonderful world of makeup. 

 It probably feels like just yesterday when your child was playing in the garden, covered in mud, and your main concern was keeping their clothes clean. But now, they're coming to you with questions about primers, highlighters, and the newest eyeshadow palette endorsed by their favourite TikToker. While some makeup trends may be too mature for your pre-teen, there are plenty of products that are perfect for fostering their creativity and self-expression. So, how can you guide them in their journey into the world of makeup in a responsible way?


I believe that incorporating subtle pops of colour and delicate shimmers into your child's beauty routine can be a fantastic way to infuse some fun and creativity. Pastel eye shadows and moisturising lip glosses can enhance their natural features without being too overpowering. Alongside these makeup products, I also see this as an opportunity to introduce them to a nourishing skincare routine that promotes healthy habits and takes care of their skin from the beginning. So, here are my top product suggestions for my pre-teen's starter kit.


Revolution Pro Iconic Regeneration Palette - Stripped



Revolution Pro The Iconic Regeneration Palette is filled with 19 beautiful shades in pinks and nudes. This palette offers a combination of velvety matte shadows and stunning shimmery finishes, making it an ideal choice for those who are new to makeup and want to achieve a natural yet glamorous look.


NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss




Let's add some fun and playfulness to the beauty routine with the NYX Professional Butter Gloss. Available in a range of shades, this lip gloss not only provides a hint of vibrant colour but also nourishes and moisturises the lips, leaving them feeling velvety soft and glossy.


benefit Fan Fest Mascara



Achieve beautifully lengthened lashes with the Benefit Fan Fest Mascara. This mascara effortlessly separates and defines each lash, creating a natural look that mimics the appearance of false lashes. Say goodbye to clumpy build-up, as this mascara provides a clean and defined finish.


CeraVe Blemish Control Face Cleanser for Blemish-Prone Skin




When exploring different makeup looks, it's common for the skin to become irritated and dry, especially during the pre-teen years when blemishes tend to appear. To combat these issues, I would advise using the CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser. Infused with three vital ceramides, niacinamide, and a 2% salicylic acid, this cleanser effectively removes dead skin cells, promoting a healthier complexion.


IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF50




If your child prefers a lighter alternative to foundation, consider using a CC cream. With an added SPF50, this versatile product offers multiple benefits and promotes a seamless appearance. It also contains hyaluronic acid to keep the skin hydrated and safeguarded from dryness.

There you go, I hope I've given you enough ideas for a decent makeup bag of goodies for your teens to try out. 

Love, 
Emma 

xoxo

COLLAGEN: INGREDIENT DEEP DIVE

 Hi, babes!  Emma here with a little semi-deep dive into collagen. You've heard about it, you've seen supplements being advertised, and you have some inside you at the very moment, but how much do you actually know about it? Let's pick it apart today, shall we?  It is impossible to discuss anti-aging skincare without bringing up specific elements, one of which includes collagen. What's behind it though? The most significant structural protein in our skin, collagen is also responsible for providing us plump, youthful-looking skin, among other functions. But over time, our collagen degrades due to ageing and other external factors. We resort to whatever we can get our hands on the quickest in an effort to replace that lost collagen, be it collagen lotions, collagen-stimulating substances, collagen supplements - the list really is endless. Things might be rather overwhelming with all the various collagen skincare products on the market, which is why I'm here to guide y...

DARK UNDERARMS? NO PROBLEM

Image
Hi, babes! Emma here, and today I'll be sharing some tips for lightening your underarms. I'm sure that many of you, including me, have encountered this issue so here's some things that have worked for me. But first, a little breakdown on why this happens.  How do I brighten my underarms? was a question my sister and I asked our mum when we were in our teens. She told us that this was a question she was very well used to and we weren’t the first to ask or wonder about it. She said the issue humbled her greatly because it was a hard thing to treat, but she’d try.  So here are some tips and pearls of wisdom my mum, a dermatologist of over twenty years of experience, shared with us that I’ll in turn share with you.  Before we get into the how, I first need to tell you the why. Underarm skin is delicate. In terms of depth, it is analogous to eyelid skin. This means that it is very easy to irritate this skin, and unfortunately, irritation also produces additional pigmentation. ...

WHAT'S A MICROBIOME AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Hi, babes! Emma here, and today we'll be talking about something quite interesting. By that, I mean that we'll be learning out our skin's microbiome, the gut-skin relation, and of course nutricosmetics, which have been a strong trend these past few years when it comes to the beauty industry. Without further ado, let's dive right in. How frequently are we asked about our skin type when it comes to its qualities? The usual kinds, such as sensitive, normal, combination, oily, or blemish-prone, are therefore automatically used. Not that this terminology is inaccurate, but we can no longer make such straightforward inferences about our skin. Our skin is not as rigid or static as one might believe given that it is a complex organ. Understanding how our skin responds to the environment has an impact on how we take care of it. Skin Type vs Skin Condition We might comprehend that there are several "types" of skin, including normal, combination, dry, oily, and sensitive...
