Latest Beauty Tips

Are you among those women who worry too much on chipping and breaking their fingernails? Let us give you some economic tips:

Put garlic on your nails and it will make them longer and stronger. If you have long nails, poke the garlic cloves using the tips of each of your nail. Or you can either smash or chop the garlic and gently apply on to them.

After you do your manicure, let the polish dry for at least a minute, and run cold water over them for about 15 seconds. This leaves your polish dry.

If you love applying colored nail polish, give your nails some rest without it. Let them breathe for sometime as regular applying of nail polish makes them yellowish.

Women generally over brush their teeth. This could prove to be dangerous in the long run for the teeth as over brushing can weaken the natural enamel of the tooth. It is recommended that one does not brush for more than twice a day. This is contrary to the idea of brushing every after a meal. Liken it to taking a bath, every time we use soap on our skin, we remove its natural oil. If we do this too often, our skin becomes dry and dull. The same idea could be applied to our teeth. Whenever we brush, we remove its natural coating along with the germs that has been stuck to it, over doing it can weaken the enamel which can result to the teeth being brittle and all that.

Keeping fit is something that most people are having a hard time these days and despite undergoing the many diet regimens; frequenting gyms and all those health supplements, 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.

For 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.

From Clarins, the melting gel starts as a honey colored gel after you apply it that adheres to the contaminants on your skin (make-up, pollutantsa dnother cosmetics products). 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.

Celebrities 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…)

Choose 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…)

Too much moisture is a problem not many of us face who have to deal with dry skin each and every day. Dry skin is a very common problem but many who use water to cool off and wash more frequently during hot days tends to work to the opposite effect. Water, though a very good hydration source when used with soap can end up drying your skin more that you would want. Use blotting films to get rid of excess oil on your face, and wash with gentle moisturizing cleansers that do not dry out the skin.
