Foundation tips and tricks

1. Always test your foundation color in natural daylight where possible.
2. Test foundation on your jawline not on the back of your hands. Your hands are usually a little darker than your face.
3. Do not get pressured into buying a color or foundation type just because the sales assistant said it suited you. Test run it out in natural light and if you can’t, make sure YOU are happy with it as a match or with its texture.
4. Where possible get the best match for your skin tone. This means that the color when applied on your skin melts into your skin and you cannot tell where your skin ends and where the foundation begins. Foundation is not meant to cover or conceal. It is a means to evening out the color tone of your face. A good foundation with good coverage will never look thick, but will look natural on your skin.
5. Never get a foundation color that is lighter than your skin tone, hoping to make yourself look fairer than you actually are. A color that is too light will cause your skin to look ashy and grey. Not a pleasant sight.
6. If you want to look a little tanned, get a foundation shade that’s a little darker than your skin tone. Make sure that you apply it on your neck as well or you will end up looking very strange.
7. If you bought a liquid foundation color in summer when tanned and find that its too dark for you in winter, try mixing in some moisturizer or sunscreen to lighten it. You need sunscreen in winter too.
8. If you have a powder foundation that is a little dark for you, apply it with a large powder brush or kabuki brush. It will cause the powder to go on more sheer and you don’t have to toss your foundation.

Lemonade Cucumber Spa Pops

Can't get to the Spa? Bring it to you with the light and refreshing recipe that is an amazing pick me up on days when you need a little perk.

Lemonade Cucumber Spa Popsicles

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 3 hours

Total Time: 3 hours, 5 minutes

Yield: 3 cups of mix (6 1/2 cup pops)

Ingredients

• 1 cup julienned seedless Cucumber
• 1 fresh squeezed Lemon, remove any seeds
• 2 cups cold Water
• Natural Sweetener added to taste: use your favorite, I use Stevia. Maple Syrup, Honey & Agave are good too

Method

• Slice lemon in half and squeeze it over a strainer into 2 cups of cold water. Sweeten lemon water to taste with your favorite sweetener. Fill popsicle molds 2/3 with lemonade. Freeze uncovered for about 1 hour. Take pops out of freezer. Scrape and stir any ice crystals that have formed. Add a spoonful of the julienned cucumber to the pop molds. Be sure to leave a tiny bit of room at the top of your popsicle mold so they don't overflow when you add the stick. With a popsicle stick or a butter knife, press the cucumber into the mixture so it is evenly distributed. Add your popsicle sticks, freeze pops for another 3-4 hours until solid.
Notes
• These spa pops are a healthier & more cost efficient alternative to store bought pops. More environmentally friendly too, no packaging to toss!
• As always, use your own taste buds to determine how sweet you want your ice pops.
• Instead of lemon, try some lime!
