Cleansing and Exfoliating are the most common tips available for getting that flawless skin but there is always more to that in order to get that flawless skin. We have three top tips that can make a difference and help you:
1. Make use of a toner and moisturizer – These are two things that people forget often but these can actually accomplish a lot for the skin. After cleaning our facial skin, our skin pores are sometimes still open and the toner will take care of that. Like for example mentioned before, washing the face more than two times per day can cause the skin to end up dry which means you would need the moisturizing lotion to keep your skin from becoming dry.

2. Do not overlook the area around your eyes – Most people forget about this area as people tend to concentrate on the forehead and the cheeks but this shouldn’t be the case. If you are in your 20s, it is best to start early. Use your eye cream. We suggest you try Dermalogica Total Eye Care Cream
3. Drink an ample amount of water – Most people do not realize just how much water can do for their skin. Water assists you to reinvigorate the cells and other organs. Water may also help the toxins come out of the human body much faster.
Do try out these Three tips and we are sure results will follow.
Christmas is just around the corner and this year B.LAB recommends 3 looks that you can try on for your Christmas party:
1. Sparkly Gold & Silver Look
Golden and Silver make-up is a wonderful way to add some glamour to your Christmas style. If you have a light skin tones try lighter tone of golden colour eye shadow, while darkish shades of golden eye colour will suit dark toned skin. Our suggestion is to basically scale the tone of golden eye colour according to our skin.
As for the foundation it’s ideal to mix your foundation with some golden dust to get that golden dusky effect which is amazing. Remember If you play up your eyes, your lips must be subtle.
2. Red Velvet Look
Red velvet lips are classic. Perfectly defined, glossy or matte, vibrant, sheer or dark. All kinds of reds are top-trends this season.
Be it any shade of Red just makes sure it matches your skin tone and hair colour. Red probably is the hottest colour this month and can make you look really beautiful this festive season.
Keep your eye make up nude & subtle use colors like peach and light browns colours.
A matte red lipstick with a hint of orange will work well for a fair pinkish complexion. A warm brick lipstick works well for fair yellowish skin complexion. If you have beige and/or dark skin complexion try wearing a dark deep red lip color with gold undertones.
3. Red & Green Christmas Smokey Look
Smokey eye makeup continues to be very fashionable this season. The use of dark eye makeup creates a dramatic look that is ideal for a Christmas evening.
Don’t forget to prep your eyelids – Apply an eye shadow base or primer over the entire area from eyelash line to brow bone.
Do you already feel the festive season? Well I do.
HO! HO! HO!
Here is a Christmas themed Nail Art for the upcoming holiday season.
What you need for Santa design:
You will need the following Nail Paints (or similar ones)
Base: Zoya Nail Polish – Gretchen (Available Here)
White: Zoya Nail Polish – Snow White (Available Here)
Red: O.P.I Nail Lacquer – Ladies & Magenta – Men (Available Here)
Black: O.P.I Nail Lacquer – Black Onyx (Available here)
First paint the base of your nail in a nude colour. Let it dry completely.
Next paint a thick strip on the top 1/3rd and a tick stripe on the nail tips. Your nails should look like this:
Paint the stripes horizontally across your nails. If a bit of polish goes out, its ok coz you can do clean up at the end after the whole design is ready.
Next draw white dots on the edge of the red stripe and between the nude polish and white stripe. Let it dry a few minutes. You don’t want all colors to mix up.
Then make 2 black dots for the eyes and one pink dot for the nose. Your Santa Claus is ready!!
To clean up: I use a paint brush dipped nail polish remover and brush lightly on the sides using light strokes to remove excess paint.
Don’t forget to use a top coat if you want your designs to last.

Burberry
Burberry Group plc is a British luxury fashion house which was founded in 1856 when 21-year-old Thomas Burberry, a former draper’s apprentice, opened his own store in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. Burberry was the original name, but then the company soon switched to using the name Burberrys, after many customers from around the world began calling it Burberrys of London. This name is still visible on many older Burberry products. Initially a lot of focus was on the fabric wherein a lot of garments were designed for the people in the aviation. Burberry is most famous for its iconic trench coat, which was designed for the contemporary warfare and was commissioned to Burberry by the War Office.

Shiseido is one of the oldest cosmetic companies in the world, founded in 1872 by Yushin Fukuhara as Japan’s first western-style pharmacy.
True Beauty, in the Japanese ideal, is a harmony of spirit and form: an outer reflection of the inner self and Shiseido,Japan’s leading cosmetics brand started their journey by first introducing a toothpaste in 1888.
Such is the legacy of Shiseido’s products. In fact Shiseido Eudermine, a skin lotion so advanced that it is still sold today, was introduced in 1897, marking the shift from pharmaceuticals to cosmetics.
In 1937, the company organized the Camellia Club for loyal customers, publishing a monthly magazine to provide them with beauty information. Membership eventually grew to ten million, or one in six of all Japanese women. Hanatsubaki, Shiseido’s monthly magazine, is still published in Japan.
Shiseido founders traveled abroad and incorporated aspects of French, arabesque, art nouveau, and art deco culture and design that still influence the current Shiseido aesthetic.
