SLIM YOUR FACE

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:23:10 -0500

This tip comes straight out of Glamour Magazine…

“Bronzer is a great way to get a more chiseled look…

…Just dust matte bronzer onto the hollows of cheeks,

then along your jaw-line.

It’ll be like that pumpkin pie never happened!”

OMBRE MANICURE

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:23:00 -0400

Getting an Ombre Manicure is all the rage this fall.

How to DIY:

Paint your middle finger your favorite color of nail polish.

Paint your ring finger and pinkie that same color however,

first, mix the color with drops of white.

(Mix it on a piece of paper.)

NOW….

Paint your thumb and pointer finger with drops of black mixed in the original hue.

Can you say Fashion Diva?

Teasing is GOOD

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:48:19 -0400

Is your hair thin and flat?

Go ahead and tease it!

When done properly, it will not break or damage your hair.

While still damp, apply a volumizer to your hair and blow it dry.

Slowly rake your comb up and down

one section of hair at a time.

Go on…give it a little tease…will ya huh?

If You Like Pina Colada's

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:40:00 -0400

I found this fab tip in Glamor Magazine.

Pour 14 ounces of unsweetened coconut milk in a bowl;

refrigerate overnight to become solid.

Apply to dry hair; shampoo out after 20 minutes.

Don’t be shocked when you catch someone sniffing around.

Because, dang it…

your hair looks silky and you smell good enough to EAT!

Slice & Dice

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:00:00 -0400

Want to draw attention to your eyes…….

Do you need an instant face lift…..

Slice in some side-swept or blunt-cut bangs.

Quick, Easy and Fabulous!

Plucking, waxing or using hair remover products on your upper lip…

Just plain hurts, leaves a red patch, or clearly stinks!

Hey, check this out… R.E.M Spring Facial Hair Remover.

I find it oddly fascinating.

Saving Face

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:11:58 -0400

The night before an early morning photo-shoot.

SLEEP ON YOUR BACK!

Otherwise, fluids collect, leaving you with
a swollen face and puffy eyes.

Pink is 'IN' However....

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:40:00 -0400

Flu is in the air. There is no way around it.

That is…if you want to go out in public.

According to John Tesh, if you hear sneezing or coughing around you, close your mouth and breathe in through your nose. The little hairs in your nose will help filter out some of those nasty germs.

You want to stay in the-pink…not go all blotchy-pink from a high fever.

Heat & Color Do Not Mix

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:43:44 -0400

Fall is in the hair… oops, I mean air!

Did you know…

It’s all about low-lights and red-lights this year.

To keep your color looking fresh…don’t wash it out!

What I’m trying to say…

When rinsing your hair, after shampooing use temped water!

Hot water can and will pull that expensive hair color out!

Boot It Up

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:32:53 -0400

Stylist to the stars, Rachel Zoe says,

“For something very this season,

try an ankle boot with a heel, wedge or platform.

I love the caramel-color ones-

they go with everything!’

Committed To Straight

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:45:00 -0400

If you want your tresses to stay straight and sleek,

dry your hair completely.

Any moisture left in your hair, allows the strands to

frizz out….

If your mane feels warm after you’ve blown it dry…

Your job is done.

WOW! Look at you all straight and sleek!

Out of the Ordinary

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:31:53 -0400

I usually do not ‘plug’ brands, however…

Clinique has a new mineral treatment that

reduces redness on contact.

It even works for people with Rosacea!

No makeup bag should be without it.

Saving Face

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 22:10:01 -0400

Fall,Winter,Spring or Summer

Each morning, add a dollop of sunscreen to your moisturizer.

Mix it together and apply to your neck and face.

Make it a habit.

It's Not Color Coded

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 12:50:00 -0400

This is a heads-up TIP:

Several skin care manufactures will place a woman of color on their packaging, when in fact their product has not been tested on ethnic skin.

Hampton University Skin of Color Research Institute, is changing all that.

Soon more products marketed to you…will be specially designed for you.

It’s about time!

Just Seal It

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:33:45 -0400

If you crack or split your long fabulous fingernail.

Don’t rip that sucker off.

Grab the super glue and carefully drop a dap on the damaged nail.

Once you pry your over-glued fingers apart,

Slap on your favorite polish to hide the crack.

It’s a done deal!

NO PUMPING

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 11:13:00 -0400

To get more color on the mascara brush

twist don’t pump.

That pumping action inserts air into

the tube and dries your product out faster.

Pump Iron, not Mascara.

Is Stubble Sexy?

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 13:26:00 -0400

Men…to have the smoothest face possible,

shave before you shower.

Ladies…for silky legs, shave in the shower.

Why You Ask????

The answer is: If your skin gets too water logged it

swells and the razor, no matter how good it is,

can’t reach the base of the stubble.

COVER IT UP GIRL!

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 07:08:00 -0400

Know your colors.

Do you have redness or broken blood vessels?

Use a GREEN color corrector to make them disappear.

Now that you know better, you can cover better.
