Feminism

I really want to talk about a very important subject today. Feminism. I wanted to talk about it because I always see posts on Facebook and Twitter and instagram about how girls and women are not treated equaly especially in America.

I am glad to say that I'm growing up in a country where the majority of girls and women are treated with respect and have equal attention to men. Sadly this is not the case for other counties. More should be done to promote feminism and stop sexism against women.

I especially wanted to focus on America as most of the people who view my blog and follow me on Twitter and instagram are American.

From most of the posts I've seen the main topic is about girls not being allowed to wear clothes appropriate for the hot weather. Or girls and women are assumed as targets or victims of physical/sexual assault. My opinion is this, if a girl/women wants to wear, let's say, shorts or a tank top doesn't mean she is looking for attention or putting herself at risk. Also this shouldn't be a distraction for boys at school. Girls shouldn't learn that its their fault guys stare at them. Its not right for them to learn that because its basically objectifying women and that its in a mans nature to stare! Yes they might have an urge to do that but they should learn to control it and learn that it's not right to objectify women like that.

Another subject that comes up often is wearing sports gear such as yoga pants. I have seen that there have been signs or notices that have banned women from wearing these sorts of things. How is this even fair when it is totally appropriate clothing to be wearing for sports! You can't just change what people are allowed to wear it's their decision. 

Leading on from the subject of school, recently a school girl was told at a school dance that her dress showed too much shoulder and she had to cover up. This is what she said about the subject, 

 'Instead of teaching girls they should cover themselves up, we should be teaching boys that we're not just sex objects that you can look at and derive pleasure,' 

I totally agree with her. It's basically what I've been saying that boys should be taught that we aren't objects to be admired and stared at. The fact that this sexist behavior is happening in schools in unacceptable! In fact it's stupid! It's only her shoulders, you can't exactly sexualize shoulders it's just weird.

I could rant on about this subject as I strongly support feminism and more should definitely be done to promote it! I also tweeted about this so if you'd like to read that too click here and make sure to follow me for updates :)

My Cover Up Routine

I wanted to share with you how I cover up the spots and blemishes on my face and what products I use. First of all I make sure my face is clean. By doing this I wash my face with Clean&Clear's daily exfoliating face wash. I have been using this for quite a few months now and I really think it does work and it makes my skin feel so soft.

So I wash that off with warm water and dab my face dry with a towel. Moving onto makeup I use three products to cover up my skin. They are from three different brands but I love them all! 
The first product I use is foundation: Match Perfection by Rimmel London. I don't think I've ever had a better foundation than this one! A friend recommended it to me and I am in love with it. It covers my skin so well it doesn't leave any orange marks and it definitely improves the appearance of my skin. I apply it by squirting some on the back of my hand and then blending it across my face with a foundation brush. Its not a branded brush, just one I got for my birthday one time. 

Next, I use concealer: Mastertouch Under-eye Concealer by Max Factor. As my foundation does such a great job of covering up spots I normally only use this for under my eyes. This one is liquid concealer and I think it works really well. I don't use a brush to blend this I just lightly dab with my finger. I have used other concealers in the past and another one I liked was the concealer stick by Natural Collection which is cheaper than this one so I would recommend it if you're on a budget. 

Finally, the last product I use is a translucent powder by Natural Collection. This is to just add a finishing touch to my face. It also helps keep the foundation and concealer on my face. There's not a lot I can say about this product as it's pretty straight forward; I use it all over my face and there isn't much difference between other brands of this product as it is just simply powder. The only reason I chose this brand is because it was the cheapest. 

I use other products for my everyday makeup routine but these are just what I use to cover up spots and blemishes the others are just extra things to improve my face :)

Let me know if you want me to do my everyday makeup routine either on here or as a Youtube video for my channel.

Well that's all from me

All my love
