Get Yourself a New ID - Choose Cosmetics That Enhance Your Eyes


Usually, a pencil eyeliner is better for under the eye and a liquid eyeliner works great for on top of the eye. Although there are some mascaras out there that are fabulous, they are getting more and more expensive. And with there being so many available it's hard to find one to suit you individually without trying a few first and splashing out more money! Recently I have been using fake eyelashes and they really do work. Although they can be quite difficult to get used to, after a period of wearing them you can't feel that they are there. Plus they look amazing and only take minutes to put in!

Except for lush lashes (and enhancements to the eyes with the help of eyeliners), the shade of eye shadow can really make a difference. Sometimes there can be too many things to choose from when it comes to make up, so maybe choosing a simpler range that can still provide everything is better to stick with, as certain shades are just not wearable.

Iron oxides are extremely useful in make up as they come in colour forms, making different tones to get all the different colours that are available to you, these minerals absorb the moisture of the skin, this is how they stay on the skin with kaolin as a clay added to make up products and are resistant to oil.

There are many new make up and cosmetic ranges that contain more or less everything in order to get your eyes looking fabulous. New id contains a double sided eye line pen, (one side being a pencil, the other a liquid) allowing the brush to deliver exactly the right amount of eyeliner to flow through to the brush and apply the right amount to the required area without it being difficult, as we know it is hard to apply eye makeup on ourselves.

The eyebrow fixing pencil has a waxy smooth texture to prevent the brow colour from fading and put unhelpful hairs in place and then the eyebrow grooming pencil is a neutral shade to suit and enhance any shade of the eyebrows natural colour with an added eyebrow brush on the other end. The new id eye shadow compact comes in various shades with 4 shades on each to make it simpler to choose from and the smoky eye pencil makes it easier to choose a shade with one end to achieve a thick sexy line and the other end has a matching cream eye shadow making it a lot easier to apply.

It takes time to hunt around for a perfect mascara or eye shadow that matches the skin tone, an equal challenge is to find that perfect liquid eyeliner that isn't going to run. The best approach is to choose a simple range and experiment.

Women's Day, March 8 - Day Spa Youth and Beauty


Women's day of youth and beauty

A little history...

Even in Ancient Rome a day dedicated to women was celebrated. On this day, women wore most attractive dresses and husbands showered their wives with expensive presents.

On March 8th 1857, women of New York gathered to hold their first protest for improved work conditions and raised wages. March 8th 1908, another historical moment for women took place in New York, fifteen thousand women protested shorter hours, better pay and voting rights. Finally as of March 8th 1975, the United Nations declared this day an International Women's Day.

What is it that we women were so desperately trying to obtain? We wanted to be equal to men: to work, be entrepreneurs, deal with financial problems, etc. We have achieved all that we sought after. Are we happy now?

Alas, women can never be completely satisfied. We are too smart for our own good. Today we lack the most important element of life - TIME! We are so busy with that which we sought so hard to achieve. Today we must deal with our work and financial status, but no one took away our inherited responsibility for our family and children... On top of all this we must be slim, young and beautiful. Is it possible to achieve the balance between work and beauty? How can a young mother who goes to college and works full time do to achieve this balance? How about a mature woman who is an entrepreneur, mother and wife?

Do not worry my dear ladies. We have always found solutions from the most complicated situations. Remember, where do we go to take care of ourselves? Of course we go to a beauty salon. But besides that in this fast paced world we are offered a whole industry which carries the name - SPA. If you have found this oasis, where innovative modern technology along with centuries old techniques are used by knowledgeable professionals, then you can rest assured that the problem has been eliminated.

Add to all this; a wide variety of massages, aromatic scrubs, peels, wraps, special programs to care for your hands and feet. Only in a spa you can rest assured, that you will lose weight, get back your sexy form and look your best in the shortest possible time frame.

Let's honor this day not as a day for fighting, but a day to praise our youth and beauty.

How to Make Yourself Look Better


Looking nice is essential to leading a healthy life. Some people may believe that is a pretentious and hideous thing to say but in reality everyone has the potential to be beautiful. There are many who believe that they have to use mineral make up and mineral foundation in order to look nice to everyone else. However, this is not the case and there are plenty of other, more natural ways that can make you look and feel more beautiful. By taking these tips to heart, you will feel better as a whole and look a whole lot better too.

One thing that is easy to do to make yourself look better is wash your face every night. This is especially important if you wear stuff on your face during the day. For one, it cleans out the pores in your face and makes your skin look fresher and cleaner. Also, you will not get as many blemishes if you wash your face constantly. It takes getting used to and you have to repeat washing your face every night before it becomes a habit but eventually you will wash your face and think nothing of it. Make it a nightly ritual that you do at a certain time and that will make it easier.

Along with washing your face, is eating a good, balanced meal. You should definitely watch your diet if you are trying to look nice and fit into that smaller size. The first step to a successful diet is eating from all groups on the food pyramid. Vegetables and fruits are probably the most important, followed by meat, grains, and dairy. Eating smaller portion sizes also help. Eventually, your stomach will feel full earlier and you will not have to eat as much as you did. This will make you lose weight and you will look better. Eating healthy will also make you feel better in general because your digestive system will be in sync with the rest of your body.

However, eating right is not the only way to get a good body and look nice. Exercising is the base of a good lifestyle and looking better. Look into gym memberships around the area or find people who like to run in your neighborhood. Exercising with friends makes it easier to do and makes it a lot more fun. The more your exercise, the better you will look and feel. People who exercise a lot are generally healthier and do not get hurt as often because their muscles are toned and can take the strain of every day life. Also, working out is a great way to meet people with similar interests. You could gain a new best friend simply by going to the gym two or three times a week.

In the end, there are many ways to be beautiful that do not involve covering yourself up. Being naturally pretty is the best way to be anyway. These simple steps can help you gain more confidence, get noticed by the opposite sex, and generally lead a more fulfilling life.

No Moody Hair


Why do we have bad hair days?

Does your hair ACTUALLY have moods?

Does your hair have PMS?

Does your hair have multiple personality disorder?

WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?

Usually bad hair days can be attributed to weather. If you have curly or even wavy hair the humidity in the air can turn your head into a frizzy mess. Try using an oil based styling product under your regular products. This forms a barrier that blocks the moisture out of the hair shaft. I use Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum on just about everyone. It is lightweight even for fine hair to keep your hair from going limp from moisture in the atmosphere.

Static in the air can affect your hair as well. One of my favorite quick tips I give to clients in keep a dryer sheet in your purse. Not only will it make your purse smell good but when your hair starts standing up on end...just rub the dryer sheet over your hair to eliminate the flyaway and static!

Often it's really us having a bad day working with our hair. If your hair isn't doing what you want that day...do not hairspray the heck out of it to make it stay. You'll just wind up a gooey mess.

Opt instead for back-up hair do's other than the traditional pony tail bun or clippies. Try scarves, headbands, waving irons, a cute braid or variations on your usual hairstyle to compensate for your hairs "moods."

Classic case of "if you can't beat them, join them..."Trying to whip your hair into shape to do the same thing every day can lead to sad depressed hair do's anyway. Maybe your bad hair day is really a rebellion, an uprising of the follicles to overcome the everyday routine of boredom.

Think of your bad hair day as an opportunity for change!
