Do not mess around with cheap, average, flat irons! They will damage your hair, along with giving you average results. For professional style with healthy benefits use the best tools. My go to flat iron is the Turboion Croc. This amazing tool not only straightens, but also seals the cuticle to prevent split ends, reduce frizz, and retain hair’s natural moisture, oil, and color. It uses infra-red heat and negative ions, which basically means good technology stuff that makes you look hot. My iron has the “wet to dry” plates meaning you can use it on damp hair. Although it says it’s safe and good for you, I am still wary. I advise waiting for your hair to be at least 95% dry. So adorn your head with silky shiny hair, to cover up that messy, dirty mind……
I love a french manicure on both toes and hands. It is a timeless classic look, yet so easy to make cheesy. I see girls all the time with oversized fake nails, too heavy a pink, and waaaaay too much white tip. The point of a french manicure is that it mirrors the look of a natural nail. When I do it myself, I have an inexpensive fave that I use for the pink color. It’s N.Y.C. Love Letters. This looks beautiful alone, and fabulous when paired with white tips. Keep your color classy when your hands are up to no good…….
I’m screaming with ecstasy over one of my fave eye moisturizers, Yes to Carrots Moisturizing Eye Cream! The reason I’m recommending this eye cream is because it is the perfect consistency and weight. I find most eye creams are too thick and heavy. No matter how high quality the ingredients in an eye cream, if it’s too heavy it will cause aging or unfortunate effects. Yes to Carrots is parraben free, and full of awesome ingredients, like carrots (duh), dead sea minerals, and pomegranates. It’s also a socially conscious company that gives A portion of proceeds from every Yes To product toward the Yes To Seed Fund – giving kids fun and engaging ways to connect with Mother Nature and teaching them to lead healthier lifestyles. So get moist and get satisfied 😉 …..
I am an organization freak. I love everything to be in order, clean , neat, tidy, and perfect. This is one of the Many reasons I love my Cat Cosmetics Six Kitten. Cat Cosmetics is a fun, high quality, brand. A uniquely wonderful thing about her products is that you can create your own pallets to contain your faves. I use there already selected pallet ,the Six Kitten. It comes with a double ended makeup applicator and large mirror. My favorite of the six is a three-way tie between the cat & mouse lip gloss, whiskers blush, and Eartha Cat eye shadow duo. Check out this brand and try it yourself and become a perrrrrfect little sex kitten…..
Makeup Forever has come out with a line called HD . It was created to give the look of perfection at all times, even under the unforgiving lights and lens of an hd camera. I am a fan of a lot of their products. One in particular I use all the time is their HD Powder. What ever mineral makeup you use, I recommend you use this as your powder to set it. I use it over both liquid and powder foundations. Not only does it set your makeup, it also controls oil and leaves a perfectly natural matte look. My favorite thing about this product is the feel of it. It’s amazingly silky and soft. So fool everyone into thinking you have perfect skin, with nothing but the radio on 😉
I am never without my lip gloss. I love it for the shine, and color pop, it adds to my face. Even more, I love the feeling of silky smooth lips. At the moment I’m really enjoying my Sue Devitt lip enhancing gloss in Bermuda Triangle. The color is very subtle, and the shine is perfect. It’s not thick and gooey like some other popular brands. I don’t notice it making my lips any plumper then usual, but I have big lips so it’s not that easy to tell. All Sue Devitt products are filled with healthy, natural, skin care ingredients. So don’t feel bad if your gloss gets all over a certain someone’s body 😉
I recommend fake and bake, and when I do my favorite is the California Tan Sunless AutoBronzer. Unfortunately this machine is very hard to find. Most places use mystic tan. Here are the reason’s why I prefer the AutoBronzer. 1)it is an open air style machine. You are not enclosed in any sort of capsule, thus making it a claustrophobic free experience. 2) It has a dryer. When the spraying is done you turn around and face a 7 ft (ish) tall drying tower. It blows warm air at you, drying the solution to your body. Therefor no need for that after spray pat down, and less of the post spray tan stained clothes. 3) Great color and coverage. You choose your level 1-3 based on your height. you move around as the voice commands tell you to, and there you go, perfect coverage. It easily and naturally fades away, if only we could say the same about the cast from the Jersey shore….
I recommend Neutorgena Oil Free Pink Grapefruit Acne Cleanser for those with oily skin. I think it’s a bit much if you have dry skin. Neutrogena is definitely a brand you can trust and this is one of their best products. It quickly removes makeup (even eye makeup) as well is cleaning out your pores. I notice a difference after one use. It’s full of natural awesomeness like grapefruit and vitamin c’s. Which is more than what I can say about your D’s…
Below is a list of hazardous ingredients to avoid in your skin care and make up products. Even if you buy products at a health food store they can still contain some of these. I admit that I am not perfect in this department. I found this list on one of my favorite websites. Mercola.com. He is a genius Dr, Naturalist, and whistle-blower. Companies tend to use these harmful ingredients because they’re cheap and readily available. Don’t be that girl 😉
Parabens– Studies implicate their connection with cancer because their hormone-disrupting qualities mimic estrogen and could disrupt your body’s endocrine system
Mineral Oil, Paraffin, and Petrolatum-These petroleum products coat the skin like plastic – clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins. They can slow cellular development, creating earlier signs of aging. They’re implicated as a suspected cause of cancer. Plus, they can disrupt hormonal activity. When you think about black oil pumped from deep underground, ask yourself why you’d want to put that kind of stuff on your skin…
Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS)-SLS combined with other chemicals may become a “nitrosamine” – a potent carcinogen.
Acrylamide-Linked to mammary tumors.
Propylene glycol-May cause dermatitis and skin irritation. May inhibit skin cell growth. Linked to kidney and liver problems
Phenol carbolic acid-Can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma, and even death from respiratory failure.
Dioxane-These chemicals are often contaminated with high concentrations of highly volatile 1,4-dioxane that’s easily absorbed through the skin. Its carcinogenicity was first reported in 1965, and later confirmed in studies including one from the National Cancer Institute in 1978. Nasal passages are considered extremely vulnerable, making it, in my opinion, a really bad idea to use these things on your face.
Toluene-Chronic exposure linked to anemia, lowered blood cell count, liver or kidney damage…May affect a developing fetus
BreathRX is my favorite mouth wash in the world. I’ve never used anything that comes close. It’s part of a three-step process involving brushing and tongue scraping. It’s alcohol free, antibacterial, and such a pretty blue color. If only they made mints for that certain someone who has no concept of personal space!
