MY SPRING SPECIALS --PRIMER AND MASCARA--

 20% OFF in March

PRIMER CREATES A SMOOTH BASE

One of the main reasons to use a makeup primer is to create a smooth base for your foundation and concealer. By filling in fine lines, pores and uneven texture, a primer helps your makeup glide on smoothly and evenly.

PRIMER EXTENDS MAKEUP WEAR

The primer extends the wear of your makeup by providing a barrier between your skin's natural oils and your makeup. This prevents your makeup from breaking down or smudging, even in hot or humid weather.

PRIMER PROVIDES HYDRATION

They provide moisturizing ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid which can help hydrate your skin and prevent it from looking dry or flaky. This is especially important if you have dry skin or live in a dry climate.

Velvet Perfection Primer usually $32 on sale this month for $25.60!!!

Shine Away Oil-Blotting Primer usually $28 on sale for $24.40.

MASCARA

• Apply from the roots to the tips. Start at the roots of your lashes and wiggle the brush back and forth as you move toward the tips. This should help to separate and define your lashes.
• Curl your lashes. Use an eyelash curler to curl them and make them appear longer.
• Apply multiple coats. For a more dramatic look, apply multiple coats of mascara, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
• Avoid pumping the mascara. Pumping the wand in and out of the tube can cause air to enter, which can dry out the mascara and lead to clumps. Instead, gently twist the wand in and out of the tube to avoid this.
• Apply to the lower lashes. Remember to apply mascara to your lower lashes. This can help to brighten and open up your eyes.

Sensitive Eyes Mascara is water-based. No clumping, no smudging. Hypo-allergenic and fragrance free botanical formula for sensitive eyes. Particularly good for those who wear contacts. The mascara comes in navy blue, brown and black. Usually $18 on sale in Marc

CAPSULE WARDROBE

Have you ever stood in front of your closet and thought "I have nothing to wear," even though your wardrobe is actually full? A capsule wardrobe could definitely be the answer to your complaint.

In these times of "fast fashion", it could be easy to jam-pack your closets with many items you don't actually wear.

But what if you could do a lot more with fewer clothes?

If you want to make sure you stick to your clothing budget as well as spend less time putting together outfits which then don't quite work, a capsule wardrobe could definitely be for you.

Quite simply, a capsule closet is a limited number of clothes, shoes and accessories, which all go together, making getting dressed a breeze.

The term "capsule wardrobe" has been around since the 70's when London boutique owner Susie Faux is said to have coined the phrase as part of her bid to help women invest in key pieces that all worked with each other.

American designer Donna Karen then released a collection of 7 items of work wear, all designed to go together and make the working week easy,.

There are many capsule options. You could choose to create a new capsule each season or a tummy-hiding capsule, a capsule focused around most becoming colors, and a travel capsule to mention a few. You can pack away items you don't need for your capsule, thereby creating space in your closet.

Advantages of a capsule wardrobe include:

• You will save money as you won't impulse buy.
• You will wear everything you own.
• You can get dressed quickly.
• Your closet will be neat.
• You will have fewer pieces but more outfits.

TIPS ON HOW TO BUILD A CAPSULE WARDROBE

• If you have a great pair of jeans that fit perfectly and a pair of black pants, these should go with many tops.
• Your clothing should go with three other pieces in your closet.
• Start your capsule wardrobe from the bottom up. Begin with jeans or pants and add interesting tops, dresses, jackets, sweaters and accessories.
• Accessories can make or break your outfits. They can also enable you to change up your capsule when you are tiring of your outfits.
