This week I had the pleasure of trying out the CACI Natural Microlift Facial at The Skin Hub clinic in Byblos. I had heard about it before and was quite eager to try it, since a lot of celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and the Kardashians do this treatment before a special red carpet event.

The facial was amazing!! It was divided into three parts: Microdermabrasion with red and blue LED light, a Micro Lift and a Hydro Mask (electric meso-therapy). It wasn’t painful at all, just slight tingling sensations during the second part as the facial muscles are being stimulated.  I could see instant results afterwards, and my skin looked refreshed and radiant when I walked out.

The owner of the clinic, Zorica, was so lovely and we had such a nice chat about skincare and preventative beauty routines, that I decided to write an article about it.

Trying to figure out which makeup brush to use with which product can seem like quite a daunting task, especially if you’re short on time. Here’s a quick look at some of the different kinds of makeup brushes and how to use them. I’ll explain them in the order I usually use them when I apply my makeup.

Whether you are a busy mom or a career woman (sometimes both!), time is of the essence and we need all the time-saving tips we can get. So here’s a quick tutorial about make-up for busy gals!

We all know about food expiration dates and how important they are, but have you thought about your make-up expiration dates and when it’s time to toss them? I bet you are probably like me, and don’t know when all of your make-up and skincare products expire. But I hope you know that make-up can trap a lot of bacteria, which can cause skin irritations, eye infections, and breakouts. The tricky part about cosmetics’ shelf life is that the expiration dates are dependent on when you actually open the package, how well it is stored, the type of packaging, and not about the purchase date.

So you’re pregnant – yay! Congratulations!

It’s just a matter of time before you get that unmistakable “glow” everyone always talks about, but sorry to be the bearer of bad news: sometimes you don’t get it… It’s understandable though, your body is doing something utterly amazing (creating a whole other person!!!) so having your hormones go all apeshit is to be expected.

Then, of course, you start scouring the internet trying to find the products that are actually safe to use while pregnant, and that’s a task in and of itself! So, we have decided to list our 6 must-have beauty products that we personally used while pregnant

We received this awesome MaxFactor ProColor Correcting Voxbox from Influenster to test out and review. If you are in the same situation as we are with teething babies who are not sleeping through the night, you’ll know how important it is to have something that can hide those pesky, dark under-eye circles and red patches after a sleepless night.

Here’s Mia’s review of the MaxFactor ProColor Correcting products:
