Tip of the Day (TOTD)

It seem like the cold air just won't go away, up here in the Northeast. However, the sun is staying out later and the warmer weather will be here shortly. With Spring and Summer in mind, we all know we need to be extra dilegent and use sunblock when out in the sun. What we often forget are our lips. They are delicate and need protection too (year round, not just during summer). My favorite lip balm with sunblock is Blistex Deep Renewal Spf 15.

It's cheap, glides easily and keep my lips moist. It also contain Coenzyme Q10. If your lipstick or gloss doesn't come with spf, just make sure you use the lip palm underneath.

Welcome to Beautiful Canvas

Welcome to my blog, ladies (and gentlemen are welcome too). I am a working professional by day, makeup and skincare fanatic by night =) I like to read, read, read, and research subjects that are of interest to me. I thought I’d take it one step further by writing to share with you my personal experiences, opinions, product reviews and the lessons I learned along the way.

Now some of you may wonder, why it's call "beautiful canvas". We have heard the expression “the eyes are the windows to your soul”. Well I believe beautiful healthy skin is like a canvas of a painting. And makeup is not intended to mask but rather enhance our features. Therefore, it is important to take care of the skin (canvas) we are born with.

I hope you enjoy your visit!
