layered lip glosses and lipstick! put them on together in layers to create your own look
I put Vitamin E on my face before I go to bed every Sunday. It makes my skin so smooth and silky!
vaseline always works to intesify eyeshadows and keep it creamy instead of spending on cream shawdow, if u flat iron your hair, spray shine on the hair before each new piece of hair..........i dont really have many new things
i always use white eyshadow under my eyes to keep my liner from running
Seriously nasty, but if you use mayonnaise as a 5 minute masque conditioner once a month, and rinse it thoroughly and then shampoo and condition your hair, it feels like silk. I cant do it cause it makes me nauseous, but Ive witnessed the process, pretty decent stuff. Also my hair is 3 feet long, and I color it, so I have to take special car of it, so I alternate one month of Garnier Fructice shampoo and conditioner with the next month using new herbal essence coco-mango Hydrating Effects I think its called, (because prolonged use of the Garnier Fructice causes breakage due to the acidic oils in the formula, so I switch out with Herbal Essences), Also I use a leave in deep conditioner of the same brand. Anyhow, I could tie a cinderblock to my hair, its so strong, and very soft and shiny. Also its very important to wash your hair in warm water, and ALWAYS conditiner with COLD water, that way it traps the mouisture in and less detrimental to your hair:)
water! i drink alot! I always clean my face before going to bed! I use a sponge with my cleansing milk....... not cotton balls or a tissue! I use serum under my night cream and moisterizer! I can live without an eye cream.............. and i always use items that has at least spf 15 for the day! hope that helps...............
Always wash your face with cold water. In Romania, people use to wash their face with snow to get that glow on there skin, just an old tale I heard. But I do wash my face with cool to cold water and it works!
These aren't really secrets, but... Protect your skin. Use products with at least SPF 15 in them. Generally, I use SPF 30 or even SPF 45. Exfoliate. Skin sheds dead skin cells. Scrub them off. You can do this by purchasing a facial scrub or you can make your own my mixing sugar with lotion (or just water). Scrub gently. You can also get scrubbing clothes and/or Buf Puf pads. Moisturize (and drink water). Skin needs to be hydrated. There are a lot of good moisturizers on the market. I like Oil of Olay pink beauty lotion. It's been around forever, but it's great. Vaseline (petroleum jelly) is a good sealant for skin. Of course, it can clog pores, but for me it's great to put on my nose while I sleep when the winter wind causes my nose to peel. It's the only think that works for my nose. If you think foundation may be too cakey for you, try tinted moisturizer instead. It's very sheer, but can be good for evening out skintone, plus it makes your skin very dewy and radiant.
face...keep your hair away from your face...pull it back often...hair often creates oil which causes acne...sleep alot...people who often tend to sleep more than others those have nicer smooth skins :]
I find the best deep conditioning treatment for dry curly hair is by Joyco the reconstructing cond. Apply after shampooing and leave in for five minutes. It's the best!!!
My beauty secret for my skin is that you avoid touching it always when you have very dirty hands or if you were from a very dirty place.And wash your face using soap and water when you wake up and before you sleep so that you would easily have a chance to relax as soon as possible.
just a tip from me.... if you want radiant skin that is affordable, just use vaseline! every night before you go to bed, dab a little on your face. When you wake up, wash your face!
Not looking in the mirror. Seriously as long as I don't look in the mirror I feel great.
