DIY Mac Fix Plus

I’ve LOVED Mac Fix Plus for years because it gives me the most beautiful glowy and flawless finish. Pretty much every makeup artist uses this magical elixir. And no other finishing spray has given me results like the Mac Fix Plus.

Updated DIY Natural Glam Glow Mud Mask for Clear Skin

diy natural glam glow mud mask

I posted a “Natural Dupe of Glam Glow Mud Masks” blog post a few months ago so this is the updated version in a video form.

If you guys read that post you’d know the star ingredient is the Aztec Secret India Healing Clay which is 100% natural calcium bentonite clay. I’ve LOVED this clay mask ever since I tried it.

So in this video I am showing you 2 MASKS. One for sensitive skin and the other for non-sensitive skin.
I use the second one because my skin is pretty tough and oily so I need clay masks in my routine.

Benefits of clay masks:

  • Tightens pores permanently overtime
  • Gets rid of blemishes / acne pretty fast
  • Deep cleanses pores and pulls all the impurities out

They actually recommend you to use the clay with apple cider vinegar (ACV) but you guys know I CANNOT stand the smell of ACV so instead I use witch hazel and it works just as well for me. And if my skin is acting reaaaally bad then I also add 2 drops of tea tree oil which is a natural anti-bacterial and acne fighter.

(I live in Toronto and I buy Dickinson’s witch hazel from Walmart for around $5. Only the yellow bottle is 100% natural and alcohol free so buy the YELLOW one.)

This mask combo literally gets rid of 70% of the blemishes OVERNIGHT.

If you have sensitive skin use the first mask with yoghurt and if you think your skin can handle a little more.. then you can use the second mask.

If your skin is really dry and not so sensitive I’d definitely suggest you to use the tea tree oil.

So you can experiment use whatever combination that works for your skin type and let me know how it works out for you xx

DIY: Natural Setting Spray for Acne-Prone Skin

DIY: Natural Setting Spray for Acne-Prone Skin lavish krish
 So there I was watching YouTube Beauty tutorials where the girls showed their favourite products.. A lot of them mentioned Mac’s Fix + Finishing/Setting Spray and they all said it was amazing. It made their makeup flawless after a few mists of this product. So I got really excited about buying this and I did buy it. I compared the Mac’s spray with my 100% Natural Finishing Spray. And here’s what I think which one is better and which suits what skin type.

You will be VERY surprised when I tell you about my skin-friendly setting spray. I use it after I have my foundation, concealer, bronzer and highlighter on and it just pulls the whole look together giving me flawless model-like makeup look.

Check out my recent post on Natural Mac Fix + Dupes.

It’s just simple Cold Water stored in a spray bottle. Yes, ONLY Cold Water.

I have bought the Mac Fix + twice because I REALLY liked it.
It was actually good but it made my skin a little shiny. So I tried again and didn’t spray too much this time but I had the same result. I had a shiny T-Zone.
Well I have naturally oily-combination skin so I thought this spray just made it more oilier.
But you can use it if you have dry skin.

When I use the Cold Water as a Finishing Spray, it makes me feel sooooo fresh and my make up is perfect. Its not too shiny and not too matte. It gives a subtle sheen which looks so natural and beautiful.
It wakes me up instantly if I am lazy in the mornings. And with this it doesn’t matter if you have dry or oily skin because it works with every skin type since it’s all natural.

It’s good for acne prone skin because it’s cold water, which calms the inflammation of acne. And there are no harsh chemicals going on your skin to aggravate the acne even more.
I use water from the cold tap in my bathroom to be honest. You can use cold filtered water as well if you want to be that careful but I just go for the tap water. Ain’t nobody got time to cool the filtered water haha.

The best thing is that it is absolutely FREE.
