Prism Pigments - Rice powder for your face, works wonders!

Hello my gorgeous readers,

I'm back with the PeArL of the day...

The white is the Rice Powder

My PeArL of the day is the Rice Powder from Prism Pigments. The unique, super soft powder is for your face!

I just got to use it today and I was really stunned with the results! As directed, I swiped a small amount over my face before applying my make-up and after applying the make-up.

 It immediately took away the shiny, greasy-ness from my face and left it with a slight glow. It also worked wonders for completing a finally flawless look and evening out the skin tone & the powder makeup I use. I didn't have to worry about un-even color which is so easy to show. This rice powder works like a primer, but better in my opinion.

 I also found that when I swiped a little over my eye lids before applying my bright purple eyeshadow, it kept it in place, stopped the shadow from running and smearing & all settling in the crease of the eye lid.

 It's perfect for setting your look day or night. Even when you're not using a foundation or brozer, you can swipe a little over your skin and have a beautiful, flawless face!

I totally loved this stuff! I also have a few of the Prism Pigment eye shadows that I'll be posting about soon. I haven't yet, because I wanted to provide photos of the shadow while it's actually on my eyes, rather than just the shadow in it's container. You can see the eyeshadows I'll review in the photo, but there's one more that isn't shown! It's a beauty too!

Tips of the day - For perfect nails even if you're not creative

 I promised to keep my wonderful tips coming! I hope you like this little series. There's really no specific topic on what tips will be posted day to day, but I'll do my best.  This one's for you ladies like me who change your nail polish every 2 days (really it's helpful to anyone who polishes their nails.) Here are some of my most helpful tips I use when painting & preparing mine...

1. If you don't have a steady hand and you end up with more nail polish on your skin than nail try this: Use an oil around your nail bed before painting and trimming cuticles. I use cuticle oil or a really good lotion like Gold Bond Ultimate Healing. The oil or lotion will make the mistakes easy to wipe right off with no problem. It also helps to keep you from tearing skin & bleeding when trimming cuticles.

2. If you use a thick layer of polish or the polish is a little sticky it tends to not dry for hours therfore anything you touch leaves dent in the polish or causes it to kinda just scrape off. Try running them under very cold water & it should help the drying process drastically.

3. Nail polish and especially acryllic nails can be very tough to remove and removing acryllics can be extremely painful. I've done some very serious damage to my nails by trying to pry off acryllics. Try using pure acetone remover instead of the dilluted stuff. It works much better! I however, can not use any type of remover because I have regular migraines and one of the absolute worst things for migraine sufferers like myself is smelling the scent of remover. If it regular remover doesn't affect you, pure acetone shouldn't either. If you're like me, then I give you my empathy & wish I had a solution, but the only solution I have is using my knife which by the way is a beautiful irridescant purpl-y pink! to "cut" the polish off. Yea, I do not reccommend trying that because it can be dangerous! I've gotten pretty good at it.

 If you ladies (or men) know a solution to getting off polish without knives or remover, please do let me know!

4. I don't know anybody else who does this besides me because I'm a freak about my colors being totally un-like any others so I make my own. If you do this too, you probably get other colors mixed in your polishes from the polish getting on the brush. After using, rinse your brushes in polish remover or use warm water & dish detergent. I use the latter thanks to migraines. It hasn't failed me yet, but you have to do it before the polish dries to the brush!

5. For frayed polish brushes, run under warm water and mold it with your fingers to lay the hairy brush thingys down. Then you can use regular clear tape to wrap the brush up tightly and let it stay wrapped in the tape for a day or so. You can put the brush back in the bottle while the tape is around it, just don't forget it's there!

6. If you're into doing nail art, you may already know this one, but tooth picks and safety pins are great & in-expensive tools to use. I rarely do the tiny nail arts unless it's for a customer & I use shish-ka-bobs. They are those very long tooth pick looking tools you use for cooking. They work great!

*I hope you liked the tips! Let me know if I left anything out & if you aren't very fond of them, you can tell me. I have more coming from many different topics so keep a peek out! A hint for one upcoming tip: easy way to keep from over eating, meal replacement.*

 I'll be back soon and I hope you sparkly little rock-stars have the most amazing, sparkly day ever! (You didn't think I'd leave the entire post without mentioning sparkly, did ya?) lol

*QUICK FIX FOR OVER OILY HAIR*

If you're one of the many of us women who are suffering from excess oil in your hair because of the heat, or if you just don't have time to wash your hair one day this is the best solution:

- You'll need baby powder or talcom powder or something very, very similar to these. I use baby powder unscented.

Take a small pinch from your palm & rub it on your roots or where the oiliest area is. Rub well. This is soak up the excess oil & leave your hair looking fresh.

If your hair is brunette, black or brown then you may need to rub it in extra good because it may leave your hair with little white color. It will fade in no time & your hair will look normal & oil free!
