  • Thinking about adopting a pet? Watch this video before you do!

    Thinking about adopting a pet? Watch this video before you do!

    Adopting a pet might seem to be one of the easiest things a person can do. Welcoming a new family member with four legs requires a lot more than the usual coo-chee-coo’s and sometimes, inevitably so, things might just go overboard. Just like kids, pets too need your love, affection and growing care but before bringing one into the house you need to decide how far you’d like to go with these changes.

    Watch this video carefully and then decide whether or not you really need to/can have a pet at home. Remember – To the world, you’re just one person. But to your pet, you’re the world.

  • 4 spring/summer makeup trends to try in 2015 by Mixed Makeup!

    4 spring/summer makeup trends to try in 2015 by Mixed Makeup!

    Summer is officially here and just like our wardrobe, the makeup bag is going through a transition as well. It’s not just the makeup colours that need to change but the application and product type need to be in sync with the weather too. Here’s a list of summer makeup trends in 2015 that will help you brave the summer heat while looking fabulous.

    #1 Nude glow

    Remember Sansa Stark’s glow from Game of Thrones? This summer is all about it, but make sure you keep it earthy. Go for neutrals, peachy and orange tones to get the perfect look.

    #2 Fresh feminine baby doll look

    Summer is all about looking fresh so if in doubt go for light pink cheeks, wide-eyed mascara and soft pink lips. Apply the mascara in the middle of the lashes to create those innocent doll-like eyes.

    #3 Poppy lips

    The one makeup product that you can hold in summer is lip colour so go for a bright pop on the lips. Try vibrant shades of berry and red.

    #4 Swap the shadow for the liner

    If your liner feels too heavy on the eyes in summer try swooping eye shadow instead with an angled brush. Dip the brush in water, apply eye-shadow and swoop it along the eyelid line to create subtle shapes.

    Take a look at this video by Mixed Makeup that should serve as your holy guide to spring summer makeup trends in 2015.
