Dot the zit with a sulfur-based mask, such as Proactiv Refining Mask, and let it dry for five minutes before washing it off. This alone will diminish the pimple. Before you go to bed, dab on a cream with 2.5 percent benzoyl peroxide, such as Neutrogena On-The-Spot. This low dose is just as effective as but less irritating than 10 percent benzoyl peroxide. Then keep your hands off: Untouched zits usually go away in a few days; picked ones can take up to two weeks to heal.

oh Chanel, how happy you make me feel:), this is from their spring 2010 line which the inspiration is city girl in the country. i love it<3 makeup very fresh and soft, very romantic. Chanel does it once again<3
Makeup: Philips used shades from Chanel’s spring 2010 makeup line to create the look. On the eyes: Philips used all four shades from the “Kaska Beige shadow quad*”. He swept the amethyst shade along the top lash line; the bronze color on the lids and along the inner and outer corners; the mauve-taupe shade along the crease up to the browbone; and the champage on the browbone.
Cheeks: a healthy flush of pink-bronze color called “imprevu*” also by Chanel
Lips: the pink continues with a pink/biege color called “insouciante*”
Nails: don’t you love that grayish taupe, its so lovely! “particulier*” (i adore Chanel brand nail paints)
*all these colors launch in the spring of 2010 all by Chanel
When it comes to bronzers Choose powder its easier to apply then cream, and be sure the shade is more golden than brown and without a speck of shimmer. now when applying Swirl the brush not just over your cheeks, but along your hairline and jawline and down the bridge of the nose. Make it look authentic by topping it with rosy blush on the apples of the cheeks.
Bronzers i recommended:
Give lips a juicy, just-been-kissed look by dabbing them with sheer strawberry-colored lipstick or balm. Concentrate the color in the middle of the mouth and blend outward—that gives the most natural effect.
