Little Fixes for Big Beauty Emergencies

What do you do when you feel a zit coming on in the middle of the day, or realize while on a date that you forgot to wear deodorant? What about when you've snagged a nail without your portable mani kit around? These are just a few examples of beauty emergencies that can have serious consequences for your mood. Never fear! Learn these simple fixes for unexpected beauty issues and you'll never be caught feeling less than gorgeous again.

Flaking Polish Problem

There's possibly nothing more annoying than looking down and seeing the first signs (or the last) of flaking polish. Unless you opt for a more expensive gel manicure, flaking after only a few days is often inevitable. How can you fix it fast before that big meeting or lunch date? Make sure you have one of the following on hand: glitter polish or stick on polish strips. Understandably, glitter polish isn't appropriate for all occasions, but its texture can quickly mask flakes. The strips, however, require zero drying time and are easily trimmed. You'll be glad you have them on hand! 

Low on Lipstick

You meant to get to Sephora and restock, but it was one of the many things you just happened to forget to do this week. No worries. Dab your lips with cream or powder blush instead. Typical blush colors match up really well with the natural color of lips. They create a natural effect that may not be your favorite color, but will do to emphasize your kisser in a pinch!

Gray Hair Cover Up

It's true that some will recommend mascara for this job, but there are actually root touchup products out there for grays such as Tween-Time ($7) and Alterna Stylist 2 Minute Root Coverup ($24). If you insist on getting your color at the salon, these are good to have on hand during times when life requires you to push back your appointment.

Rough Cuticles

Nothing makes a pair of nails that would otherwise look fine look messed up than dry cuticles. The dry skin becomes hard and starts to lift from the nail, giving that telltale sign that you haven't had a chance to do a mani for a little while. Bummer. Fix it with any oil you can get your hands on, or lotion. One of my favorite ways to fix them is by emptying the contents of a Vitamin E capsule. These capsules are ultra easy to carry and store wherever you go, and don't go bad.

Rainy Day Frizz

Picked the wrong weather day to wear your locks au naturale? Again, not a problem. Regular old hand lotion, used sparingly, will tame fly-aways. So will a small bottle of any number of serums you can buy at the drugstore and keep around, but those only have one purpose, whereas the lotion has many. 

Zit Be Gone

By about age 17, a girl can tell when a doozy of a zit is coming her way. There's redness, maybe an itch or tingle, or even pain when she touches a small area of her face. If you can find an ice cube and a lemon or lemon juice nearby, you may be able to prevent the blemish from breaking through. Rub the cube on it, to take down swelling. Then dab on lemon juice; its astringent properties will dry out the problem. (Just don't expose the area to the sun as lemon juice can cause discoloration.)

Oops, Forgot Deodorant!

Here's another little issue that a lemon will fix right up. If you've gotten to work and realized you forgot deodorant that morning, rubbing a cut lemon or dabbing lemon juice under your arms will prevent odor. Just be careful you don't have any open cuts or nicks from the razor under those arms! Ouch.

Greasy Summer Bangs and Roots

Left your big can of dry shampoo at home? Prefer to keep it there? Buy a mini bottle of hairspray or fill up a mini travel size bottle and use it when you've noticed that a couple days without washing your hair is making it look a little too shiny. The alcohol in hairspray will absorb extra oil.

9 Bad Habits That Are Ruining Your Hair..

While hair loss may be the absolute last thing on your mind right now, the reality of the matter is, one day many of us will experience thinning hair. Eek! Here’s what you can do to help ensure your locks look as healthy, thick and gorgeous as possible for decades to come. 

1. Steer clear of tight hairstyles

Yep, that means no slicked back ponytails, super tight buns or braids. “Traction over long periods of time can lead to inflammation of the root of the hair and ultimately hair loss,” points out Dr. Joshua Zeichner, director of cosmetic and clinical research in the department of dermatology at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City.

2. Go easy on the flat iron

Seriously! Be kind to your hair, and don’t overuse your flat iron, warns board-certified dermatologist and author of Skin Rules, Debra Jaliman. “If you continue go over the same piece of hair with a straightener you're going to eventually cause bad breakage.” And as you know, breakage leads to hair loss.

3. Quit chemically processing your hair

Why is it so terrible for your tresses? Well, because chemicals to color, curl or straighten your hair into a non-natural situation do so by breaking and recreating molecular bonds, explains board certified dermatologist and founder of Art of Dermatology Dr. Jessica Krant. “This is a serious chemical reaction that can be caustic and damaging to the scalp and follicles themselves. After several years of processing, some women lose the ability to grow hair permanently.”

4. Get supplemental help

According to L.A.-based dermatologist Dr. Alex Khadavi, creator of Advanced Skin & Hair, gelatin supplements are being used more frequently now to make locks look healthier and also to complement hair loss treatments. “Studies have shown that large doses help support healthier looking, beautiful strands with no side effects.” He recommends taking around 2-3 grams per day. You can easily find gelatin supplements at your local drug store.

5. Don’t mess around with your hormones

Did you know that going on and off birth control pills disrupts your body's natural hormonal balance in both directions? “Starting some pills leads to thinner hair, while stopping others can have the same effect,” says Dr. Krant. “Consult carefully with your doctor before starting a new birth control pill if you already have thin hair and don't want to make it worse.”

6. Protect your hair from the sun

Remember to wear a hat or use a quality SPF spray on your locks. When hair is exposed to the sun over a prolonged period of time, it dries it out, making it more prone to breakage. Plus, the UV light from the sun can damage bonds and weaken strands as well, notes Jaliman.

7. Manage your stress

Believe it or not, stress is a major cause of hair loss. Women’s hair restoration specialist Lucinda Ellery advises finding something that calms you down (whether it be a new hobby or sport or something as simple as a massage) and making it a regular part of your life.

8. Minimize heat styling

“Heat doesn't only damage your hair strands, drying them out and creating bubbles (from boiling!) under the smooth cuticle that causes a loss of sheen, but it also can damage your hair follicles too, making them less able to grow healthy hair long term,” says Krant. “So no sitting under dryers, ladies! If you must use a hair dryer, only dry the middle third of the shaft, avoiding heat on your roots and tips.”

9. Eat a well-balanced diet.

For beautiful hair from the inside out, be sure to eat a well-balanced diet consisting of food rich in iron, beta carotene, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, zinc and biotin, suggests Ellery.

Eat Your Way to Gorgeous, Young-Looking Skin...

the dos and donts of perfectly bronzed and contoured skin

Yes, it's summer and yes, the desire for a "healthy" glow is stronger now than, say, in December. But bronzing your skin isn't just about creating a healthy complexion without the sun. Bronzer is also essential for one of Hollywood's favorite and oft used makeup tricks: contouring. How to do it right? It's easer than you think. Below are seven dos and don'ts that will have your facial structure on display and your skin looking luminous, dewy and kissed by the sun. 

Do Stick to Your Shade

The desire for deep dark color you could never get on your own can be strong, resist. Don't go more than three shades darker than your natural skin tone when you're picking out your bronzer palette. Check out the underside of your wrists. If the veins are green, you're warm-toned. If your veins look purple or blue, you're cool toned. Pick warm and cool bronzers accordingly. Comparing two or three side-by-side will make their cool or warm qualities easier to determine. Warm will have a tera cotta (touch of red or orange) look. Cool bronzers won't.

Don't Forget to Account for Skin Type

There are so many bronzers on the market these days, you'll have more to consider than just the color. For example, there are cream bronzers and powder, as well as shimmery (those with sparkle) and matte (those without). If your skin is dry, a cream bronzer will give you a dewy glow. If your skin is oily, best to stick with a mineral powder. If you want some shimmer, best to use it at night, on special occasions, and leave it off your forehead, no matter when you wear it. 

Do Count on the Recession

When it comes to application, realize that whatever part of your face you apply bronzer with is going to recede visually, making the area next to it pop out. So you want to apply under your cheekbone (never on top), around your hairline and the outermost edge of your face, on either side of your nose (never the bridge), just under your nose (above the center of your top lip) and just under the center of your bottom lip. Do not veer from these areas of application and you'll be contouring just right.

Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

Start with a light touch, tapping the brush to remove excess bronzer if you're using powder, and build up from there. Too little and you've wasted your time. Be patient. With practice you'll be able to get it right in no time.

Don't Forget Bared Shoulders and Chest

A bronzed, face might look amazing, until you get down to a pasty shoulder and decolletage. Lightly brush or tap bronzer on the outside of your shoulders, in between your breasts, and on the inside of your clavicle bones. Think of where the sun would naturally hit.

Do Be Careful About Your Brush Size

There's no perfect set of brushes to do this with, and you can certainly use your fingers to tap and blend if you wish. Just be aware that you want to use a medium to large brush for your cheek bones and facial perimeter and then switch to a small brush for the nose and mouth area. Use your bigger brush for any bronzer that goes below your jawline.

Don't Cake on Extras 

By applying primer and/or foundation and then bronzer, you run the risk of a cakey Real Housewives look by applying much more on top of it. So keep it light. If you feel the need to use blush, a light cream or mineral tap will do ya. A little swipe of liquid illuminator on top of your cheekbones will add to your glow, but skip it if you've gone with that shimmery bronzer for an occasion.

tips and ideas for a long hair

Your guy may not notice your hair has been trimmed half an inch, but trust us, he definitely notices your hair! We surveyed a few gents (and the ladies too) on the first few things people immediately notice about your hair. Here’s the top four.
1. Your Length
Whether it’s long, short or in between, one of the first things people will notice about your hair is its length. And, it’s something people use to form opinions about you too. Short and sassy may imply strength and confidence while super long locks give off a feminine vibe.
2. Your Roots
Believe it or not, one of the first things men and women notice about your hair is your roots! More specifically, whether or not they are in dire need of a touch up. If you’re dying your hair or already getting grays, make sure you stay on top of the color maintenance by scheduling appointments every six to eight weeks. Letting your roots get out of control sends the message that you don’t pay attention to details and are lazy about your appearance.
3. Your Cleanliness
Thinking about skipping a hair wash? Yes, everyone can tell. Oily roots rank high on the list of things people first notice about your hair. If you’re really in a pinch, spritz some dry shampoo on your roots to soak up some of that oil. Or, try a hat.
4. Your Style
Short and sassy or long and layered, your actual hairstyle is something people take notice of. In combination with your hair length, it’s also something people use to make judgement about your personality. A complicated hairstyle may send the message “I’m high maintenance!” while a more relaxed style tells people you’re easy going.

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT MASCARA ...beauty tips

We all want our eyes to allure, to pop; we want our lashes to speak volumes without say a word, right? Otherwise, we wouldn't focus so much on mascara, and the mascara industry wouldn't be such big business. You've seen the commercials with the name brand models and actresses whose lashes are out to there. We all can't help but wonder whether the latest "high-tech" mascara will give us the same glamorous results. Is there really a secret beyond being born with natural long eye lashes? Or keeping falsies close at hand? With a little bit of research I've found out the answers to some of these burning questions. Hint: most of it is how you wear it.

Color Mix

These days, mascara comes in a rainbow of colors, which is awesome for those of us who like to experiment and wear a wild look from time to time. But what about incorporating color for extra effect that works at the office? Makeup pros mix brown and black, usually black on top and brown on the bottom to make eyes pop. Black on top and magenta on the bottom gives a subtle effect that flatters all eye colors.

Application Don'ts

According to makeup artist Kate Lee who spoke to Allure, most mascaras are only meant to be coated twice, so skip that fifth application. Always wait a few seconds for one coat to set before applying another. Use gentle pressure and wiggle the wand at the base of the lashes before moving upward to the tips.

Expiration Dates

We all keep our mascaras for far too long. If you can't remember when you bought it, toss it. Buying a new tube every few months is a good habit to form. Don't pump the wand to reapply the formula to the brush, this forces extra air into the tube that wears your mascara out faster. 

Choose Your Effect(s)

Different brushes (and formulas) usually give you one stand-out effect. So it pays to have more than one mascara in your arsenal. Use one type for the first coat, and another for the second. While most packages will tell you what their special effect is, here's some extra info: for long, soft lashes, go for a package that promises zero clumps. Thin brushes are ideal for bottom lashes. You'll notice fat brushes with flexibility and plastic bristles give volume, as they have more coating surface area. For lashes like a doll, choose a fast-drying formula that holds the bend you put in with your lash curler. For out-there lashes that are truly outrageous, try TOO FACED Better Than False Lashes. First you brush on one coat, then a second coat of special nylon fibers and finish with a third coat. Perfect for going out.

Read the Label

We've all been frustrated with mascara that smudges and bleeds. According to WebMD, if you check out the placement of water as an ingredient on the label, you can avoid such formulas. The lower water is on the ingredient list, the less water it contains, which means the more you can trust its staying power. Waterproof mascaras typically have less water, but be careful, don't go for one that doesn't contain any water, they're especially hard to get off and can damage your lashes in the process. 

Oversized Earrings – Tips and Ideas

Summer is the season of colors, jewelry and statement fashion. Part of summer are the oversized earrings-which have been a hot trend for nearly two decades now. It doesn’t matter what shape, style, colors or material you choose, oversized earrings are a beautiful piece of jewelry that can make anyone look trendy. I am in love with oversized earrings and have just purchased a pair filled with white crystals! Below I have collected some great tips for you all to try and wear them the best way possible. I know that for many women think that oversized earrings are too much to dare but believe me, once you try them the right way, you will always love them.
Tips and Ideas:
1-Matching your face shape with your earrings shape. For example, if you have a long narrow face, choose a pair of long earrings with heavy details at the end, maybe a butterfly, crystal, something shinny or whatever you might like.
2-Stop matching your earrings with the rest of your outfit. I know this may sound a bit contradictory from everything else you have read about fashion, but one thing I have learned so far is that too much combination can ruin someone’s outfit and looks. I am not saying you should go for a pair of classic oversized earrings when wearing sportive clothes, but for example when wearing the 70′s earring styles, match them with a floral dress or something casual.
3-Neon accessories are a hot trend right now, and if this fashion has already captivated your wardrobe then why not add a pair of oversized neon earrings to complete the looks. I would recommend neon jewelry only as part of your day outfit.
4- But most important of all tips, keep the hair away when wearing oversized earrings. Which means style your hair into a pony tail, donut bun or anything else you like.
5- Don’t buy jewelry and save them for important events- buy them to use everyday. Fashion changes all time and so will your wardrobe.

Oversized Necklaces

I believe we all love necklaces-no matter the gender- we love having a shinny beautiful jewellery in our neck; but for this season women’s fashion brings the oversized necklaces!
Oversized necklaces are perfect for spring/summer because the season itself it gives you the opportunity to dress bold and over do it with big jewellery; you can wear big sized necklaces as part of your daily outfit or clubbing! You can easily combine them with casual outfit or a fancy dress, depending on the necklace material and style.
Oversized necklaces are a focal point that give you the opportunity to look dramatic and edgy; you can go for silver or gold material, or even wood necklace-which are very hot for beach .
Neon and coral colors are the hot trend for this summer 2013; and there’s no better way to combine an envelope bag, dress or shoes with same color as necklace, and when it’s oversized it will grab more attention;
There are so many different and unique styles you can go for, from crystals, colors, silver, rhinestone or wooded; everything that suits your personal style;
I brought together some of the hottest trend for this season of oversized necklaces, have a look and stay stylish!
