DIY: gentle gommage
After a hard day of work or school what feels better than just washing / scrubbing all that stress right off your skin!
It literally is the first thing I do.
That and snack.
Agreed?
Then read on! 
What’s a gommage?
A method of exfoliating that’s been around for centuries, a spa treatment of all times..
It consists of a thick paste you apply in a thin layer.
Wait until it sets and rub it!
It will roll / ball up on you and take with it the dead skin cells.
There’s tons of over-the-counter gommages available but also a million ways to make your own.
Of course it is more labour-intensive than just a scrub, so it has become less popular over the years, but oh how it leaves your skin soft as a peach.. ^_^
Ingredients
There’s only two ingredients to this that you WILL probably have in your cabinets.
Not one of those DIY’s with ingredients in cabinets from the other side of the world. >_<
However I did attempt to get an exotic feel here to reflect that this is a recipe of all ages and cultures!
I hope you’re feeling the beautiful kajal vibe!

I’m here to share with you what i’ve been using for the past 5 months.
Which is – insert drumroll - Beauty Without Cruelty’s Vitamin C & Q10 cream!

MUD: what I learnt this week (week 14)
What I learnt the past weekS is more like it though, I didn’t even keep track of what week we’re at now!
I’ll update the image when I find my schedule.. ^_^
Aaaanywho hello!
We’ve been practicing lip application non-stop because red lips is something that still gives make up artists the heebie-jeebies apparently.
It’s not easy but training an objective eye and a steady hand goes a long way!
Here’s a combination of what we saw in class, and what I noticed myself!
Look at your lips
Really look at them, don’t pose, don’t flinch, look at them in all their glory!
