Easy, 5-Minute Hairstyle Tutorials & Beauty Fashion Tips- MakeupWearables

Hi you guys! Anyone else dealing with “after winter” dry skin? Not quite ready for shorts yet, right? Today, I’m going to show you what I use (actually, my mom & sis use these too), something we’ve always used. Our Holy Grail skin care products from Walgreens.

I don’t think I’ve ever told you that my family and I immigrated to the States when I was around 11, and how poor we really were. We were so poor that I went to school(middle-high) without having to pay for school lunch because we were on welfare. It was an embarrassing time for me, even now to admit it, but it taught me a lot about hard work, fighting for the things I want, being grateful for everything I have now, AND what’s good that’s affordable! haha…

And you know what guys, now that I am able to afford the better things in life, I STILL prefer these to the more high-end products. I might go off and “try” new things, but I always go right back to these when I get bored because they’re SO amazing- they’re timeless skincare goodies! I’m so happy I’m able to share these with you!

Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion. I remember the yellow bottle they used to come in, but I much prefer how they apply now because this new version will make your legs GLOW like a diamond.

I hated the scent back then (and my mom used to slap these all over my face before school ugh, so I had to smell it all day long -yuck), but my family always used it, because it was the best. But thank God almighty, this improved version is “unscented”, and they absorb into the skin a lot faster. Girl, back then you had to rub this in for 30 minutes before you could see your skin again, now it’s literally instant! Did you try this back then, remember?

Look below for what my legs look “after” applying this – and no fancy editing was done here – I only applied the lotion!

Vaseline Advance Repair – Healing Moisture Lotion is non-greasy but will make your legs have that “Glow within” look. I love it SO much because it’s incredibly affordable, and it makes my legs look so silky smooth!

For dry flaky skin for your face, I ALWAYS recommend switching to an oil cleansing method, as it’s more gentle for your skin.

I usually don’t use a face wipe, but I picked these –Simple micellar face wipes – to try out because everyone was raving about them, it’s actually Walgreens “Fan Favorites.” And since Walgreen is having a month-long sale on Simple, Pond’s and Vaseline Hand and Body Lotion, I thought I’d try it out. (Discount code at the bottom of this post)

I did like these wipes, but it’s not my holy grail product, so I’ll use these when I’m feeling lazy. Simple Micellar face wipes removed my makeup and kept my skin clean without that dry skin feeling. However, if you use Pond’s Cold Cream Cleanser (below), you won’t need anything extra, as it’ll remove-literally melt off all your makeup! Even the toughest waterproof makeup will be gone!

This is our holy grail product. I’ve been sending my mom “new” face oils to try throughout the years (because I am now able to buy her more expensive things), but she always go back to this lol. My mom and I love the fact that with Pond’s Cold Cream, you don’t need an extra lotion after using it, you don’t have to wash your face again with soap – All you need is this 1 product, because everything will come off!

You heard me right. You apply this all over your face… give yourself a 10sec face massage, then wipe it off. You won’t “need” a separate toner to remove this and that, a face cream because your skin feels tight. After using this product, your face will feel baby soft and your face will glow in the morning!

Also, this cream will not clog your pores or cause breakouts – we’ve used it for years and years. I highly recommend it!

Hi, loves! Today, I’m going to show you how to easily incorporate a Heatless Waves routine to your evenings, so you can wake up to a beautifully bouncy hair!

My pamper routine consists of lighting a few candles and soaking in the hot tub, while I meditate.

I’m usually sipping some decaf green tea, and my cats (2) must be dragged into the bathroom with me or they’re screaming bloody murder behind the door- or arguing with each other- and if I happen to be doing a Coconut oil treatment on my hair, which y’know I love to do – then I have to make sure my older cat (Bobby) doesn’t try to eat my hair, ‘cuz he’s obsessed with coconut oils….

I believe in pampering your soul as much as your body, that’s why I highly recommend meditation to everyone I know. Do you meditate? If you haven’t, please try it. It will transform your soul. You’ll be you but much calmer and less temperamental, and happier. More about this some other time…

I’m not really into face masks, although I do use a few when I can, because I’m too lazy lol. I’d say I’m more of a hair treatment kinda girl (because it smells SO good!), and I’m so incredibly lucky to be able to test out so many different kinds of it too!

So this week, I tried out the NEW, Rose Oil Infusion Volumizing shampoo & conditioner from Suave Professionals that I been hearing so much about.

If you watch me on YouTube, then you probably know that I have thinning hair for women (I literally have bald spots which I keep covered with some eyeshadow)… So for me, I “should” be using a Volumizing shampoos&Conditioner, but I don’t because I find them too drying. “Volumizing” usually mean frizzy, tangly hair for me. But this gentle line from Suave that said ” infused with pure rose oil” wasn’t drying at all! Actually, it felt like a “normal” people’s hydrating rich shampoo, but the conditioner was very lightweight.

At less than $3 per bottle at Walmart, these are also ridiculously AFFORDABLE omg! But best of all, when my hair dried, my hair looked va-va-voom’ish – totally fluffy, smooth!

You need to try this because trying is believing! You’re going to enjoy them!

However, if you have extremely dry and damaged hair, Suave has another fantastic line with Avocado that I reviewed a few months back. I found that more moisturizing (but heavy) because it’s made for “dry damaged hair”. Try them both though, and let me know which was your favorite!

Sock Bow Voluminous Heatless Waves

I went to Walmart to buy these shampoos and ended up buying some socks too (cuz I’m always losing them argh!), and thought hmm let’s do a heatless curl tutorial with them.

By the way, I filmed this, so if you don’t understand what I did here, you’ll watch it on my Instagram a few weeks later. But basically what you do it…

Tye a few socks together to create a sock-bow chain (they look like cute bows on your head for real!). We’ll be using the chain like a headband.
Shampoo your hair with Suave Rose Oil Shampoo & Conditioner, and towel dry your hair thoroughly. Your hair must be almost dry (90% dry), don’t do this on wet hair, or your hair will never dry.
Divide your hair in half, and start wrapping small sections of hair around the headband. I did 3 sections on each side of my head, and twisted the sections away from the face, before wrapping them to minimize frizziness. Moreover, I sometimes secured the ends of my hair with a few bobby pins to the headband to keep the ends super smooth.
After 8 hours (once your hair is completely dry), remove the headband.
Finger comb your waves and apply some hair serum you’re done!
I curled my hair extensions separately the same way to get this look.

All of this should take you less than 5 minutes to do! But if you didn’t understand from the Pictorial I made for you, a video tutorial is coming soon on Instagram!
