How to look like Kim Kardashian!!

HAIRSTYLE

Kim Kardashian is known to sport long dark hair whether it be pin straight or a curly up do, her locks are always gorgeous.

To re create her most popular hairdo you will first have to maintain long healthy hair, to do so you can invest in some of her favorite hair care products such as the Bumble and bumble tonic shampoo she claims that this leaves her hair feeling silky soft,  in addition to this she uses the ever popular Biosilk Silk Therapy which she uses before she blow drys her hair which smells great and  prevents heat damage. On several occasions she has admitted to wearing hair extensions especially for photo shoots, which is not very rare in Hollywood seeing that many celebrities wear them so don't be afraid to try them out!!! Once done correctly they can really enhance your facial features.
Most times you can see Kim wearing her signature split part bangs and loose, flowing ,voluminous curls.

MAKEUP

Kim is known for her signature smokey eyes and nude lips.
To achieve her ever flawless looks follow these tips ;

Begin with a freshly cleansed face, then apply 'Smashbox Photo Finish' primer so that your makeup lasts all day

Apply MakeupForever HD  foundation in a shade that matches your skin best seeing that everyone isn't Kim's skin tone, apply using a stippling brush,  the mac 187 is a great option, sigma also has some affordable ones. The Beauty blender also does a  great job of blending.

To conceal any under eye circles or acne scarring Kim uses the Cle De Peau concealer or the Mac Studio finish concealer,  again choose the shade that suits your skin best.

To set everything she then uses the Mac Select Sheer powder and with a light hand apply to the entire face this also ensures that your foundation lasts throughout the day.

One of Kim's favorite blushes is the Mac blush in the shade gingerly, which just adds a very subtle warmth to the face.

For the eyes, its obvious she is obsessed with smokey and dramatic eye looks, there are endless tutorials on Youtube that show you step by step tutorials on how to achieve these looks.

For those super sexy lips,( my favorite part of makeup) she uses Mac lip liner in 'Stripdown', then Mac lipstick in the shade 'Angel' which is a permanent shade from Mac so they should be available in Mac counters , and finally she tops it with NARS lip gloss in 'Turkish Delight'.


FASHION





To recreate Kim's clothing there are several key items one must invest in

Blazers
Jeggings
Scarves
Nude or Black Christian Louboutin pumps (or any affordable nude pumps)
Body hugging dresses
Velour tracksuits
Chanel handbag (or any other affordable handbags)
Tops with large embellishments

NOTE ; Kim's entire wardrobe consists of mostly neutral hues, she mainly wears black, grey and white, she has stated that those colors go with alot of pieces. Though she also wears bright colors, these are what she wears in most of her pictures.

Kim and her sisters manage their very own clothing store called 'Dash' and several of the clothing they wear can be found on this site.

OVERALL IMAGE

Kim is known for having a very, curvy yet toned body structure. This can be achieved by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular workout routines. Lunges, Squats and Dead lifts all play a key role in the sexy body that she is most envied for.

Urban Decay Clean and Sober Oil free Makeup remover Review

First of all I'm going to explain the reason I got this product.
The packaging is really cute and girly something that I tend to lean toward in a makeup or skincare product, yes I am very much interested in the contents of a product but I'm also  a sucker for cute packaging, though its not the most important thing about a product seeing that poor quality contents can reside in high quality packaging, its a definite accessory.


The overall bottle is transparent, its the liquid inside that gives the bottle a purple tint.
The front of the bottle features a pretty mermaid with ginger hair.
The back has fancy writing of the description of what the product claims to do, among other things.
The cap is a metallic purple, this covers the white dispenser pump



Pros
Awesome packaging
Comes with a dispenser pump , which is useful in controlling the amount of product that comes out
Its oil free, a must for persons that have acne prone skin
Smells great, not chemical like compared to other makeup removers (smells like lavender and cookies to me)
Clear gel like consistency is easy to remove if it happens to fall on clothing
You get a decent amount of product in the bottle (100 ml  3.4 US fl. oz)


Cons
Does not remove water proof makeup very well  (it took a good few rubs to get off my UD zero eyeliner)
Can sting a tiny bit if it gets in the eyes
Even as a cleanser it doesn't remove all your long wearing  foundation,( I still some get residue on my cotton pads when I follow with an astringent)
Is discontinued on the Urban decay  and Sephora website but you can still get it at ebay and amazon and if you live in Trinidad a store called magical makeup in Trincity mall has it.
Is very pricey ( ebay has it for 17.99 US , amazon 14.99 US and magical makeup has it for 195.00 TT

Below are its ingredients

Main Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Butylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, Poloxamer 184, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Disodium Lauroamphodiacetate, Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, Caprylyl Glycol, Hydroxide, Sodium Citrate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Diethylhexyl Syringylidene-Malonate, Benzyl Benzoate, Fragrance (parfum), Linalool, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Honey Extract, Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Flower/leaf extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Flower extract, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben and Propylparaben.

Overall its a great product if you love cute packaging and only want to remove very little makeup (not suitable for makeup that is water proof or long wearing).
Not worth the price and I expected more from Urban decay which is one of my favorite high end makeup brands.
I give it a (2 out of 5)

Hope my honest review was helpful and informative to you guys.
Thanks for reading.
Stay safe and beautiful <3
