Women with all skin tones face the problem of dark spots on their skin from acne or other scars. As a South Asian woman with a medium complexion, my dark spots would show as dark brown. To correct dark spots I recommend the following products: Murad Ance Products, Clinique Dark Spot Corrector, Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair, and Garnier BB Cream. The first step in getting rid of dark spots is making sure you don't get any more ance! I have personally tried several different systems for ance treatment including Clinique and Proactive but the system that has worked for me consistently has been Murad. My second step was using the Clinique dark spot corrector. I used the product twice a day after my normal skin routine, concentrating on areas with spots and in about two months I saw a major difference. After using the product for about a year, about 90% of my dark spots were gone! I decided to then switch to Neutrogena because I wanted my skin to test a new product and only had to use this product once a day at nighttime. I have definitely seen a consistency in my skin complexion with this product and as a added bonus it smells heavenly. Lastly, I recently started using the Garnier BB Cream which gives me a flawless color. This tinted moisturizer also provides protection from the sun which helps prevent dark spots. Some people use BB cream as a primer but I personally use it as an every day foundation because of the spf and finish on my skin.

My two favorite MAC lipsticks are Hang-Up (left) and Gel (right). Hang-Up is a cremesheen finish which means it's creamy and has a high shine, perfect to layer under lipgloss. It has a deep red berry color so its perfect for that red lip look without looking to bright. Gel is a frost finish so it is very shimmery and has a high color pigment. This color is my go to for a shiny nude look. I sometimes like to layer a pink nude stain under it for a pinky look or layer it on top of Hang-up instead of lipgloss for a brighter red look! What's your favorite shade? Feel free to post comments or questions
Products: MAC Cremesheen Hang-Up A22, MAC Frost Gel AC1

Spring is finally here! Time to get out those colored jeans and bright eyeliners. A trend I am loving this spring is the colored ankle jean paired with a tuxedo jacket or flowy collared blouse. For shoes to match you can either go comfy with the high strappy gladiator look or super chic with high ankle strap pumps. Also lots of florals and stripes this season! A trend to 'watch' is the double strapped leather band look for watches and bracelets. Below are some pictures of my spring favorites.

Welcome to my first product of the week blog post! This week's product is Urban Decay's De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray. I highly recommend this product if you are planning on a long night out or if you want to keep your makeup looking consistent throughout the day. I use 2 to 3 sprays after I have completed my entire makeup application process. I concentrate one of the sprays on my eye makeup particularly because I find that it keeps the colors in place. It also has a cool refreshing feeling as an added perk! This particular spray is good for people with oily skin as it has a mattifying effect but I would still recommend carrying blot powder for touch ups throughout the night. Urban Decay also offers an All-Nighter Long Lasting Spray and a Chill Cooling and Hydrating Spray. You can purchase these products at http://www.urbandecay.com/makeup-setting-spray-from-urban-decay/4_500,default,sc.html or http://www.sephora.com/search/search.jsp?keyword=urban%20decay%20spray&_requestid=18937
