Watch your weight and enjoy the attention

Category: General — editor @ 11:39 pm

Keeping fit is something that most people are having a hard time these days and despite undergoing diets and frequenting the gyms today, most people are struggling to keep their bodies fit and trim.

A lot has to do with discipline and the fitness program we follow. Some feel that if one program is good of someone else, then the same holds true for them. This does not follow. You have to consider the metabolism aspects as well as how you approach it. While these suggestions can be good tips, the proper practice will still depend on how a person would undertake them.

Hair in All the Wrong Places

Category: Hair — editor @ 11:42 pm

Women are quite particular about hair growth, especially in their legs. Ordinarily, hairy legs are often seen in men today. But for some women, there will be exceptions especially if they are hereditary. There are some women who unfortunately have excess hair in their legs and chances are you will see them peeling them out on a regular basis.

Such is not an abnormal occurrence. Remember that for people who have hair growth as an obvious hereditary trait, it is apparent that they will be passed on to you. While you may hate it, you can always turn to the medical solutions such as laser hair removal. Added costs but worth it if you talk about beauty as a whole.

Perfect Make Up for the Perfect Appearance

Category: Make-up — editor @ 11:46 pm

Only the women who are keen on the selection of makeup to apply on their faces will be able to determine which suits them best. Normal people would often just pick out makeup kits depending on the brand or what they get from word of mouth but for others, there is the case of adhering towards the sensitivity of your skin.

There are a lot of brands that can really make you look good. However, you have to consider if there will be certain reactions that your skin may suddenly have on them. Perhaps it would be best if you could test them out first or get some medical advice on which elements present in makeup kits that will irritate your skin overall.

How to get Radiant Skin even with Dry Skin

Category: General, Make-up, Skin — Avatar @ 3:46 pm

dryskin.jpgFor a radiant glow that gives you that perfect glow all day long, try starting by applying luminizing face primer that eliminates flaws and covers up blemishes. Follow-up with liquid or cream foundation to make the skin look drier and even eliminating the oily look. Blend them well, and do not forget the eyelids and the hairline to prevent those separation lines that gives an artificial look. Try to blend it to make it look natural and even. Follow up with pink-toned concealer under the eyes and a foundation shade concealer on spots that still show. Use bronzers to give you a glowing look similar to most stars like J-Lo who has the perfect bronze look. Apply shimmer and highlighting shades but with older women, try to avoid shimmer near the lines on the eyes. Use sheer translucent powder on the t-zone that leaves your cheeks looking dewy fresh. Dust powder across the eyelids using an eye shadow brush to prevent the eye makeup from running.

It then turns into a deep cleansing oil which after a while, turns into a cleansing milk as it transforms into a smooth lathering solution that washes away all residue on your face. May it be make-up or any other cosmetic product, it deep-cleans, nourishes and then washes away leaving smooth skin that is soft and plump.

Go Green, Fashion Wake-up

Category: Clothes, General, Information, Make-up, Skin — Ella @ 3:14 am

fashionCelebrities are sporting them so why shouldn’t you? Green fashion accessories abound and they are quite green and environmentally friendly. Most of the fashion trends of days gone by have been scorned and hated by green fellows for their sinister beginnings. They use exotic furs and skin products that have almost wiped out entire species. Most stars fall for the nostalgia of fur studded clothes that were the norm of days gone by. Those who choose to sport them are today hated and even subject to well, smear campaigns to dissuade their fashion statement. Green products are recyclable and were produced using green technologies. Whether from recycled goods, like the recent feature on CNN about fashion designers who use junk to make special fashion accessories. (more…)

legs2Choose a pair of heels that kinda’ has the same shade as your skin. These neutrally toned heels are the norm of spring catwalks and with good reason, they’re simple and yet effective ways of bringing in a false sense of height. Well, not that it matters for as we all know, beauty begins from within and any style will do. See those high cut dresses the stars we love are sporting, they can work for you too, coupled with skin tone leggings. They make you look taller and coupled with those heels, get that illusion of height you may not have or be content with. From neutral to gold and silver shades that seems to become extensions of your legs plus the height of those heels, nice height, or look of it, enough for that night out. (more…)
