DIY beauty mask - egg white

a DIY mask which i use to do when im free, superb easy n cheap. ehhehahah
you can have immediate results after applying this mask:
* Amazing whitened face
* Good tightening effect
* My face feel supple
* Helps in oil balancing as well
hears it induce collagen too

this is how i do.
Take an egg, filter the egg white out. Take some facial cotton(or tissue) and separate one piece into about 3 layers, if only 2 layers, it’s going to soak up alot of egg whites. Add in some lemon juice into the egg white, slowly dip the cotton into the egg white and place the cotton over your face. Leave the mask on for 15min / til it dries.
u can also just put the eggwhite plainly on yr face using a brush(if fingers, will be messy). Aviod eye n mouth area, impt. u can also put some on yr neck too. sometimes, i mix in honey instead of lemon.

Egg white is known to have firming effect for your face. When the eggwhite cotton hardens on your nose, the blackheads will easily come off together with your cotton. But do not peel so hard so that you don’t peel off your skin as well. Lemon is to lighten the smell, plus it also help whitens your face too!
After it is done, you can apply your toner and moisturizer.

the egg yolk that left, i usually do a 'bombay' toast...
hehhahah, beauty n gd food, gd uses.
An egg is not expensive, commonly found in most households. One eggwhite mask is ample, can be share among yr sisters, gd frnds or yr family. Work like ampoules, and suitable for all skin types.

Use individually /together for a variety of looks n also great for dramatic hair-dos. The leave-in, rigid hair inserts add height and body. At USD$19.99 for one regular size bumpit and two bumpits for bangs. You order them the same color as your hair, they are supposed to blend in with your natural hair color so people can't see that they are in. The packaging design is so feminine and pretty cute. The box is black and white striped with cute little pink accents. The side of the box claims that bumpits include NO FAT, NO CALORIES, etc. Playing off the "fullness" that they offer. The bumpits inside the box are covered by pretty pink tissue paper, which adds even more femininity to the wrapping.

I love the look of the pouf and the dirt easy way to do it. I purchased these not long ago and received compliments on my hair styles. I will tease my hair at the crown, fit the bumpit under the teased area, then fix my hair around it. It stays all day. I bump my hair for a pony /wear half up. but i guess fine hair will not able to work well, may need the use of clip in postion n hairspray. Some of ppl review that they feel not comfortable after long hours cos they are 'hard'.
