I have not found a product equal to it. A little goes a long way, and yes, it does sting if you get in your eyes...so close them!<br /><br /><strong>Best I found so far.., March 3, 2009<br /></strong>Prunella W. "tennischic*" (USA) - This is a great little product. Avon has good specials, so there are times when you can get BOGO or buy one get one for $1.99. I have gotten this in my eyes, and it did not sting my eyes much at all, if any. I have tried many different brads and this is by far the best. It conditions my lashes and is not greasy. Try this product!!<br /><br /><strong>I hate when I run out of this stuff..., May 29, 2009</strong><br />By Kim (NJ, USA)<br />Like Angel's review.... I have been using this product for more than 20 years. It is without a doubt the best eye makeup remover on the planet. I keep a bag with 20+ bottles in my closet in fear that they might discontinue the product because when I have run out I have tried 2 or 3 other brands and hated it.<br /><br />The liquid is creamy and you only need a little. I keep it in the shower and I rub it on my eyes as I shower. No need to even wipe with a cloth or makeup pad, no stinging, no burning, no strong fragrance. If I am in a hurry and it does get in my eyes it just clumps together and I can wipe it out. It doesn't dry my lids out and I have very sensitive skin. Just LOVE it!<br /><br />To learn more about <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00187OEWO?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwstephenliv-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00187OEWO">Eye Makeup Remover</a> and to get great deals just<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00187OEWO?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwstephenliv-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00187OEWO"> click here. </a>Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-10105680886020308182009-08-14T07:24:00.000-07:002009-08-15T13:31:20.524-07:00Don't Buy Sedu Tourmaline Hair Straightener Until You Read ThisWould it be fair to say you are interested in the<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00282CE9I?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwstephenliv-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00282CE9I"> </a><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BG10J6?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwstephenliv-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002BG10J6"><strong>Sedu Tourmaline Hair Straightener</strong></a><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BG10J6?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwstephenliv-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002BG10J6"> </a>?<br /><br />If so, then you will want to buy <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BG10J6?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwstephenliv-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B002BG10J6"><strong>Sedu Tourmaline Hair Straightener</strong></a> now after you read this.<br /><br />Sedu straightener, October 17, 2007<br />Lisa Fremont "Lisa F" (Sydney, Australia) - Brilliant straightener that leaves hair glossy, straight, sleek & soft. The best ever, better than GHD. Stays straight even in high wind, humidity or heat. Also came in a fabulous pink carry bag which was a great gift..I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This is also a great price, much cheaper than GHD.<br /><br />The best straightener ever!, February 28, 2008<br />A Customer - I have very frizzy, dry hair, but this straightener does not seem to damage it at all! No hair straightener but this one can tame my thick, curly hair. My hair stays straight and frizz-free until I wash it again.<br /><br />I have been Sedu-ced. , June 21, 2008<br />Denise Morgan (Australia) - This is a lovely to hold, light, and easy to use, flat iron. My hair stays straight and smooth from wash to wash - three days. Australian buyers should be aware the plug will need changing but I fully expected this and it was an easy, inexpensive job.<br /><br />Anti-Chi, November 11, 2008<br />Little Miss Emmy Love "emmylove" (Jackson, Mississippi) -First off, before I bought the Sedu I had a Chi. I bought into all of the hype and got one for Christmas. It just stopped working one day out of the blue, and it never did much for my naturally wavy thick long hair. Well, after doing my research, I bought a Sedu. I have never been happier. It cut down my straightening time by more than half! I now straighten my hair in less than twenty minutes. I straighten it in the morning, sleep on it at night, and don't have to restraighten it the next morning. Ever get that annoying "bump" when you're straightening your hair in the back and can't fix it no matter HOW many times you run the straightener over it? Yeah, you don't have that problem at ALL with this. I get so many compliments on my hair when I use this. I would reccomend it to anyone! Its definitely a great investment.

Instead, loose, sexy curls are in. Find out how to get them with these step-by-step instructions.<br /><br /><br /><br />Here's How:<br /><br /><br /><br />Prep hair with a styling spray (I love Bumble and Bumble's Thickening Spray, which works wonders on fine hair). Spritz on roots and comb through hair.<br /><br /><br /><br />Part hair down the center.<br /><br /><br /><br />Blow dry hair, scrunching hair as you go. If you have curly hair, don't scrunch, instead dry straight with a paddle brush.<br /><br /><br /><br />When hair is about 90 percent dry, separate hair as you would to create two pigtails. Secure pigtails with pony tail holders.<br /><br /><br /><br />Take one side and twist hair in one direction. Hair will naturally twist itself into a bun. Secure at ear level with a ponytail holder. You can keep hair in place with bobby pins.<br /><br /><br /><br />Repeat on the other side, so you have two buns at ear level.<br /><br /><br /><br />Blast the buns and your whole head with the dryer for about 5-10 minutes or until hair seems dry.<br /><br /><br /><br />Leave hair in buns for 10-20 minutes to set. Just before you leave, take hair out of buns and finger comb curls. (Do not brush out). You can apply a texturizing spray to separate the waves and keep them from looking "too perfect."<br /><br /><br /><br />Spritz hairspray and you're done!<br /><br /><br /><p>What You Need:<br /></p><br /><br /><ul><br /><li>Styling spray for regular hair or volumizing spray for fine hair to prep hair </li><br /><li>Blow dryer </li><br /><li>Ponytail holders </li><br /><li>Texturizing spray </li><br /><li>Hairspray</li></ul><p><span style="font-size:78%;">Photo by Evan Agostini/Getty Images for IMG</span></p><p>Enjoy</p><p>Lorette</p><p><a href="http://www.make-up-tip.com/hair">http://www.make-up-tip.com/hair</a> </p><p> </p>Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-69986572032789135572008-08-13T17:57:00.000-07:002008-08-13T18:03:43.327-07:00Jessica Simpson Hair - Straight and Sleek<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2O6ckvD__7G9EOE-Ya4ZfVqqwUD5_iQcdXnP50kSDXuR7VXWmwqqoDLTDdmrKfmUdcmZH85MlgOFNj3ZwkD8vfoJtphmF5SUp8JzNYCWp01cMlGAp-XgeuSpwW4fc37Z9k-3_ww/s1600-h/jesssimp.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234172650732543026" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2O6ckvD__7G9EOE-Ya4ZfVqqwUD5_iQcdXnP50kSDXuR7VXWmwqqoDLTDdmrKfmUdcmZH85MlgOFNj3ZwkD8vfoJtphmF5SUp8JzNYCWp01cMlGAp-XgeuSpwW4fc37Z9k-3_ww/s320/jesssimp.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Jessica doesn't always have long, wavy hair.

How to Get it To CurlI got a letter recently from someone dying for wavy hair, but her hair is stick-straight and won't hold a curl. Is there some sort of spray she needs, she wonders. Well yes, and no. While most hair has some natural curl in it, some of us have really, really straight hair that won't curl. The key to curl is product. Product allows curls to stay.<br /><br />Start with a thickening spray (I like Bumble & Bumble) applied to wet hair at the crown and roots. Comb through. Blowdry hair then spritz styling spray to 2-inch sections before curling either with a curling iron or in hot rollers. Finger-comb hair and set with styling spray. If this doesn't work, don't fight it. Maybe curls aren't for you.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Julyne Derrick</span><br /><br />Enjoy<br />Lorette<br /><a href="http://www.make-up-tip.com/hair">http://www.make-up-tip.com/hair</a>Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-77407108575302129442008-08-08T13:04:00.003-07:002008-08-08T13:32:10.080-07:00Curly Hair - How to stop the frizz<div>Curly hair is more susceptible to frizz.

Instead of your basic brown of years past, try a gray Kohl pencil with shades of pinks and grays on the lid. Lining the inside rims of the eyes is also a stylish updated look for fall, although it can make small eyes appear beady. </div><br /><p><strong>How to Get Smokey Eyes</strong></p><p><br /><strong>Prep the lid.</strong> The key to keeping eyeshadow from melting into your eyelid crease as the day goes on is to kept eyelids oil-free. To do this start with an eyeshadow base (also called "primer").</p><p>.<br /><strong>Apply eyeliner.</strong> If you're going for a typical black, brown or gray smoky eye, apply liner in one of those colors above the upper lash line, drawing line thicker in the middle of eye. If your opting for a jewel-toned eye (violet makes a gorgeous smoky eye), line eyes with a purple, blue or deep green liner.</p><p><strong>Blend in color on bottom lashes</strong> For color on the bottom (a key smoky eye look) you'll want a lighter eyeliner. The key is to "smudge it." You can also apply a bit of shadow to get full smudge effect.</p><p><strong>Apply light base color</strong> Again, the key to a smoky eye is pairing a lighter base with the darker hue. I prefer a nice cream shade for my base. Sweep a light, shimmery shadow over the lids to your browbone. </p><p><strong>Blend in darker color</strong>, but keep dark color below the crease. Now that you have the base and eyeliner on, it's time to get the smoky effect. You need a darker eyeshadow shade. Using an eyeshadow brush blend in color starting at your lash line, blending up. Make sure to blend color into the lash line so the eye liner disappears. Stop deep color at crease. </p><p><strong>Doublecheck your work</strong> Make sure eyes match and blend color with a Q-tip if need be.<br />Finish with several coats of volumizing mascara. </p><p>Enjoy</p><p>Lorette</p><p><a href="http://www.make-up-tip.com/">http://www.make-up-tip.com</a> </p><p> </p>Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-3121606335625891512008-07-31T18:33:00.001-07:002008-07-31T18:35:49.110-07:00The Cat Eye<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_vdbZoSMR24dMZybU-OJZ7-bEidYlJ_2u8BKDbkHtMrjG6d0GxOiNL8MNHcT2LBbsVfrG0B6AWf4kGEP3jWLM-cHcaV75tymz4I0SBRREAGdPWhKYb6bqEKNga39DpgqR-Pk2SQ/s1600-h/Angelina.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229356459082147698" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_vdbZoSMR24dMZybU-OJZ7-bEidYlJ_2u8BKDbkHtMrjG6d0GxOiNL8MNHcT2LBbsVfrG0B6AWf4kGEP3jWLM-cHcaV75tymz4I0SBRREAGdPWhKYb6bqEKNga39DpgqR-Pk2SQ/s320/Angelina.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>The New York Times recently had an article in the Style Section making fun of fall beauty trends, which are always pretty similar every year: out goes the bronzed skin and the beachy waves, in comes the pale skin, the dark lips and the sleek hair. But this year has some surprises in store. </div><div> </div><div>Here, Angelina Jolie sports the "cat eye," a hot trend for fall that was all over the Emmys red carpet this year. Get this look with brown or black liquid eyeliner, making sure to make the line just a bit outside the eye with a little curve up.</div><div> </div><div><strong>The Cat Eye</strong> </div><div> </div><div>Forget the advice you may have read in the past never to line the inside rims of eyes because it makes eyes look tiny. Sexy cat eyes are a cool look for night. The key to this look is to apply a thin line to the inside rims of the lids. </div><div><br /><strong>Step 1</strong>: Holding the skin of your upper lid taut, dot liquid liner along the upper lash line as close to the eye as possible. Apply line from corner to corner of eye, extending the line upward at the outer corner of eye. Let liner dry for a few minutes before touching. </div><div><br />To soften this look (black liquid liner can be harsh), InStyle Magazine suggests trying a smudgeable pencil in a lighter color like dark brown or charcoal. </div><div><br /><strong>Step 2:</strong> Hold down the lower lid and apply liner only to the outer three quarters of the rim. Fade out the line as you approach the tear duct, according to makeup artist Mally Roncal in the March 2006 edition of InStyle Magazine. Extend the liner upwards at the outer corners. </div><div><br />For a softer version of this look, use an eye shadow brush and sweep a taupe or brown color on the lower lash line.</div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size:78%;">Julyne Derrick</span></div><div> </div><div>Enjoy</div><div>Lorette</div><div><a href="http://www.make-up-tip.com/">http://www.make-up-tip.com</a> </div>Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-8008409362252767952008-07-31T18:28:00.000-07:002008-07-31T18:40:53.173-07:007 Tricks to make your eyes look largerTo get huge eyes try these tricks:<br /><br />1. Always curl lashes before applying mascara. You can actually curl lashes AFTER mascara is applied, as long as your mascara is dried (a good tip to know if you want to curl your lashes later in the day without removing your mascara).<br /><br />2. Don't forget your bottom lashes. For years I avoided mascara on them until a makeup expert showed me how much mascara on my lower lashes really make my eyes pop. I rarely go without now. To apply mascara on lower lashes, hold the brush vertically, then sweep it back and forth.<br /><br />3. Individual false lashes are exotic, gorgeous and can look natural if applied correctly. Large cities offer "lash bars" in the hottest department stores. (Henri Bendel, Bergdorfs and more, for example) but I expect the counters at most department stores will have experts in false lashes. Ask at yours.<br />Don't want to go to department store? Drugstores carry false eyelashes. If they're too long, you can trim them with scissors.<br /><br />4. For a doe-eyed, seductive look, makeup artist *Paul Starr suggests you try lining your lower lids with a creamy white eye pencil.<br /><br />5. White liner may sound odd, but it really opens up the eye. You can also try putting it on the inside corner of both your upper and your lower lids.<br /><br />6. Another way to open up eyes is to skip the white eyeliner and opt instead for a platinum highlighter. Dot along the browbone, then blend in. Apply highlighter at the inner corners of your eyes. Follow with eye shadow.<br /><br />7. Make sure your brows are manicured. Until you get your brows professionally waxed, tweezed or threaded, you won't realize how much they affect the rest of your face. Cleaning up your brow line of stray hairs, adding a slight arch and filling in sparse spots are key to making eyes look much larger.<br /><br />I find once you get a professional brow job, you can do it yourself for a few months using the pro job as a "map" of where to tweeze. To keep brows in place, try a clear eyebrow gel or just spritz a bit of hairspray onto an old toothbrush and brush brows in perfect place.<br /><br />*Tip from the December, 2005, issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine.<br /><br />Enjoy<br />Lorette<br /><a href="http://www.make-up-tip.com/">http://www.make-up-tip.com/</a>Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-87248836469636835502008-06-10T19:27:00.000-07:002008-06-10T19:28:13.371-07:00Understanding Lasik Eye Surgery<p><br />Understanding Lasik Eye Surgery</p><p>By Dr. Nancy Snyderman<br /></p><p>You've probably seen advertisements for LASIK eye surgery, the hot procedure for correcting nearsightedness. And you may be tempted, because the procedure is touted as safe and painless. Keep this in mind, though: The Food and Drug Administration has not yet approved LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis), or set guidelines for whom it is suitable. While the majority of patients who have the operation are pleased afterward, a number end up with poorer vision than they had with corrective lenses. Plus, they may now need to wear reading glasses as well. </p>The surgery won't correct severe nearsightedness, warns Douglas Koch, M.D., professor of ophthalmology at Baylor College of Medicine, nor is it for those who have large pupils and need higher amounts of correction. Interview surgeons closely; avoid anyone who gives you a hard sell (LASIK is being peddled aggressively) or who won't discuss possible complications up front. Also, ask how many procedures the doctor has performed and how successful they have been; this surgery requires experience and skill. LASIK costs about $4,000 to $5,000 for both eyes.Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-5694351025190639912008-06-08T10:22:00.000-07:002008-06-08T10:24:41.441-07:00Top 6 Risks of LASIK<strong>Top 6 Risks of LASIK</strong><br />From Troy Bedinghaus, O.D.<br /><br />Refractive surgery often produces great results. However, there are risks involved in any medical procedure. If you are considering undergoing laser vision correction such as LASIK, it is important to know the possible complications and limitations that may occur.<br /><br />1. <strong>Vision Loss</strong><br />Some LASIK patients actually lose vision after the procedure. The vision lost through the surgery cannot be corrected with glasses, contact lenses or surgery.<br /><br />2. <strong>Debilitating Visual Problems</strong><br /><strong></strong><br />Sometimes LASIK patients develop bothersome symptoms after the procedure including glare, halos and double vision. These conditions have a serious effect on nighttime vision.<br /><br />3. <strong>Undercorrection or Overcorrection</strong><br /><strong></strong><br />Not all LASIK patients will achieve 20/20 vision without glasses or contact lenses. You may still need correction after the procedure. Some patients also require additional treatment that may or may not be possible. Additional laser treatments or other types of refractive surgeries may be needed to sharpen acuity.<br /><br />4. <strong>Dry Eye Syndrome</strong><br /><br />Some patients develop severe dry eye syndrome after LASIK. Dry eye symptoms develop because the eye is not able to produce enough tears and moisture. Dry eye may be a permanent condition requiring treatment.<br /><br />5. <strong>Diminishing Results</strong><br /><br />For some farsighted patients, the results of LASIK may not be permanent. Some amount of the vision improvement may deteriorate with age.<br /><br />6. <strong>Infection or Irritation</strong><br /><br />Some patients develop infections, inflamations or irritations after LASIK. These conditions are treated with antibiotic eye drops or anti-inflammatory medication.Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-90134880531101369462008-06-08T10:16:00.000-07:002008-06-08T10:21:56.320-07:00Before You Have LASIK<strong>Before You Have LASIK</strong><br /><br />From Troy Bedinghaus, O.D.<br /><br />If you are seriously thinking of having LASIK surgery to correct your vision, you most likely have a few concerns about the procedure. Even though the thought of waking up each morning with clear vision is exciting, several important factors must be considered. Before you sign up for LASIK, take some time to review the following information.<br /><br /><strong>Are You a Good LASIK Candidate?</strong><br /><br />Not everyone is a good candidate for laser-vision correction. There are several conditions that may disqualify you from undergoing the procedure. A good LASIK candidate must qualify for the procedure by meeting several requirements. A thorough eye examination by an ophthalmologist or optometrist is a great place to start. If you meet the requirements of LASIK and are a good candidate for the procedure, laser eye-surgery preparation will begin.<br /><br /><strong>Risks Involved with LASIK</strong><br /><br />Refractive surgery often produces great results; however, there are risks involved in any medical procedure. If you are considering undergoing LASIK, it is important to know the possible complications and limitations that may occur<br /><br /><strong>Your Vision After LASIK</strong><br /><br />LASIK will almost certainly reduce your dependence on glasses and contact lenses, but there can be no guarantee that you will be able to achieve perfect vision without glasses. It is very common, though, for patients to demonstrate excellent vision during follow-up examinations after the procedure and discontinue the use of glasses or contacts immediately.<br /><br /><strong>Further LASIK Considerations</strong><br /><br />Changes in your vision after LASIK may or may not be permanent, as your eyes are still capable of changing internally. Most patients, though, are extremely pleased with their LASIK results.<br />Depending on the type of procedure being performed, LASIK usually costs between $2,000 to $5,000. LASIK costs have declined as the procedure has become more common.Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-82515866674733214212008-06-02T05:22:00.002-07:002008-06-02T05:45:48.236-07:00Hair Tips for Jetsetters<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">Hair Tips for Jetsetters</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"><div><em><span style="font-size:78%;">-Suzanne Quinn</span></em> </div></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXpLfd8nM81zgsSWh21Qsa00YwRokUnNV2rthnRbOsB2_AKEhyphenhyphen4PXQe6tO7m27y2r9R_p84QhLoye6o2rL9RWauJM8KvDZc4wkp6l34gTfEAEFC8nbdkoA6WNFl_kYH-Nq-3YVaA/s1600-h/pass.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207263810421573138" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 248px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 245px" height="281" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXpLfd8nM81zgsSWh21Qsa00YwRokUnNV2rthnRbOsB2_AKEhyphenhyphen4PXQe6tO7m27y2r9R_p84QhLoye6o2rL9RWauJM8KvDZc4wkp6l34gTfEAEFC8nbdkoA6WNFl_kYH-Nq-3YVaA/s320/pass.jpg" width="248" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />For those of you who are constantly flying high in the friendly skies, you should know that dry air in airplanes and hotels can be extremely damaging to hair, causing it to look perpetually dull and lifeless. Melissa Schriber, color director at patrick mcivor color studio in Bethlehem, PA offers the following tips for jetsetters who want to keep their hair looking vibrant and fresh.<br /><br /><br />1. No time to freshen up before a meeting after flying? Stop by the restroom in the airport and flip your head upside down under the hand dryers. Spray on <a href="http://www.redken.com/products/styling/mild-control/fabricate-03">Redken Fabricate 03 heat-active texturizer</a> (or a hairspray) and fluff for instant volume! No one will know that you were sleeping on the plane!<br /><br /><br />2. Travel with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to help replenish lost moisture, Redken’s Clear Moisture line is great! If your hair is really dry and unruly, apply a good deep conditioning treatment and wrap your head in a towel.<br /><br /><br />3. As soon as you check in, fill your bathtub with hot water and close the door - when you reopen the door, the moisture in the bathroom will help to humidify the air in the room. You can also hang clothes in the bathroom and the humidity will help the wrinkles fall out!<br /><br /><br />4. Pillowcases contribute to static electricity and breakage, try misting Redken’s Clear Moisture Instant Polishing Prep on the hotel pillowcase to help ward off static while sleeping.<br /><br /><br />5. If you have long hair and want volume, try this trick. Gather dry hair into a ponytail on top of head and place 2-4 Velcro rollers on the ends. Volume is created while you sleep and less time is devoted to styling in the morning!<br /><br /><br />6. If hair is looking less than polished and you don’t have your favorite smoother on hand, take a pea-size amount of hand lotion, rub it between hands and smooth over hair. This will help to calm stressed tresses and control flyaways.<br /><br /><br />Enjoy<br />Lorette<br /><a href="http://www.make-up-tip.com/">http://www.make-up-tip.com/</a>Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-35868251539809636602008-06-02T05:22:00.001-07:002008-06-02T05:39:54.251-07:00How to Not Burn in the Sun<div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">How Not to Burn in the Sun</span></div><br /><div><em><span style="font-size:78%;">From: India-Jewel Jackson</span></em> </div><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjtdBnEH3Ngk9ru8nwIPEW8_Aoz2fp23uBfq-2mT0Gqp81oieozN0RDs9nQ77nyakkSkaKqFOlO6AxzEhW_MWl2Olcy-zDbBvQJkf1fj4UlQT28KlKkSXYeTzIzbGqPPZ_GzDQDw/s1600-h/sun.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5207262762449552898" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjtdBnEH3Ngk9ru8nwIPEW8_Aoz2fp23uBfq-2mT0Gqp81oieozN0RDs9nQ77nyakkSkaKqFOlO6AxzEhW_MWl2Olcy-zDbBvQJkf1fj4UlQT28KlKkSXYeTzIzbGqPPZ_GzDQDw/s320/sun.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Summer is approaching quickly, and for many of us that means more time outdoors. As we emerge from our seasonal incandescent hibernation, our enthusiasm for catching some "rays" often clouds our good judgment, and unfortunately a few hours of fun in the sun can quickly become hours or days of sunburn pain and peeling. Cathy Mogler shares three simple rules to ensure you'll have fun, not burn in the sun. Your skin and eyes will thank you.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>RULE ONE:</strong></div><br /><div>Know your UV limitations. Every person's skin responds differently to UV rays (sunlight). In 1975 Thomas Fitzpatrick, a Harvard PhD, devised the Fitzpatrick skin test to help define these boundaries. The Fitzpatrick test asks a series of questions that look at genetics, previous experiences, and lifestyle. The questions yield a raw score and neatly categorize skin types into 6 distinct categories ranging from light to dark skin. On one end of the spectrum you have people with little or no tolerance to UV and burn easily (type I). On the other end of the spectrum you have people with dark skin that do not burn easily (type VI). If you would like to take the Fitzpatrick test and determine your specific skin type, please visit <a href="http://www.sunsauce.com/">http://www.sunsauce.com/</a>. Understanding your burn threshold can make your time outdoors more enjoyable and safer. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>RULE TWO:</strong></div><br /><div>Always wear a waterproof SPF lotion. SPF's (sun protection factor) or sun blocks can easily and effectively reduce your risk of burning. SPF's use a number system to identify their ability to block or repel burning rays. As an example, assume you normally redden or burn in 10 minutes of direct sunlight. When you apply an SPF 15, it increases the time it takes to redden or burn up to 150 minutes or 15 times as long. SPF's with a higher number generally provide a longer duration of protection. It is important to liberally apply the sunscreen to all exposed areas or you will regret any oversights. Additionally, sweat, water, or rubbing off can remove SPF, so make sure to liberally reapply as needed. Sunscreens are a great preventative measure, but if you think you are burning, get out of the sun. Sunburns or overexposure are key factors in premature aging. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>RULE THREE:</strong></div><br /><div>Don't forget to wear sunglasses. Overexposure to UV rays can cause eye damage. Your eyes are fragile and UV's invisible rays can penetrate the eyes, even in cloud cover. UV blocking sunglasses are more then a fashion statement; they are your eyes first defense against burning. Use them regularly. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Enjoy</div><br /><div>Lorette</div><div><a href="http://www.make-up-tip.com/">http://www.make-up-tip.com/</a> </div>Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-2086761918923629292008-06-02T05:22:00.000-07:002008-06-02T05:32:39.305-07:007 Body Image Boosters<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;">7 Body Image Boosters</span><br /><em>by Redbook</em><br /><em></em><br />1.

Even the most beautiful women in the world need a bit of help now and then . Makeup expert Trish McEvoy says the key to a flawless face is not perfect eye makeup application or the right shade of lipstick. It's evening out your skin tone.<br /><br />Getting your skin tone right, according to McEvoy, is more important than any other part of your makeup routine. The trick is make it appear as if you aren't wearing any makeup at all. Here are a few steps to even-ing out your skin tone.<br /><br />Rule #1: Exfoliate Chances are if you don't exfoliate daily or weekly, your skin is covered in dead skin cells that are mucking up the surface of your skin and causing your skin to not only look dull, but older as well. Without proper exfoliation, foundation won't smooth over your skin cleanly and moisturizer won't properly soak in.<br /><br />Rule #2: Prep the Face Foundations and tinted moisturizers glide over a moisturized, plumped face so much better than a dry one. Plump up skin with a primer with SPF (primers have been The New Thing now for more than a oouple years). If you don't have a primer, moisturizers with SPF will do. Make sure the SPF is at least 15.<br /><br />Rule #3: Even Out Skin Tone The next step is to apply foundation or tinted moisturizer (tinted moisturizer tends to be more sheer). Make sure the foundation or TM blends perfectly into skin. If it's too light or too dark it will be noticeable. Apply only on the areas that need it most: Usually along the nose and on the cheeks and chin.<br /><br />Rule #4: Cover Up Under-Eye Circles, Blemishes and Red Spots A few dots of a creamy concealer under the eyes and on any blemishes helps remove the "veiny" or "bluish" appearance under the eyes many women have. Remember to pat, don't rub, concealer in.<br /><br />Rule #5: Prep the Lids Even if you aren't going to be applying eyeshadow, you'll want to apply a lid base to lids to even out skin there. Most people's lids have blue veins. Concealing them with a base or primer created for the lids helps even out your overall skin tone.<br /><br />Rule #6: Bring Back Some Color Once skin tone is evened out, you'll notice your skin lacks color. Bring it back in with bronzer, a creamy blush or both. Apply bronzing powder with a big fluffy brush on all the spots the sun naturally hits: Forehead, cheeks and nose. Follow with a creamy blush on the apple of your cheeks. (Cream blushes create a "dewy" complexion better than powder blushes, and help plump up skin).<br /><br />Rule #7: Set the Face Your last step to a perfect complexion is setting the face with a powder. This is a step I often avoid because I love how dewy my complexion is without powder. Plus, at this point, I'm lazy. But many makeup artists insist on this step.<br /><br />Now that your face is "on" you'll notice you don't even have to apply much eye makeup to look fresh and spectacular. Even just a bit of mascara and a hint of gloss is enough for most women to look fantastic.<br /><br />Enjoy<br />Lorette<br /><a href="http://www.make-up-tip.com/">http://www.make-up-tip.com</a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">julynne derrick</span>Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-84199097265082979762008-04-28T18:05:00.001-07:002008-04-28T18:17:57.433-07:00How to Fill in Sparse EyebrowsIf. like most women, you were born with sparse brows or simply went too far with the tweezers, there is a fix to filling in your eyebrows. All it takes is a pencil, powder, and an angled brush or a clean mascara brush.<br /><br />Tip 1: Pick a Pencil and Powder ShadePencils and powders tend to stick to skin, not to hair, so if you don't have a lot of hair you'll want to shade in the skin where hair should grow.<br /><br />Select a soft pencil (hard pencils tend to be too waxy) which is a shade lighter than your brows and a powder which matches the color of brows. If brows are super fair, choose a pencil that's a shade darker than brows.<br /><br />Tip 2: Prep the BrowsFirst, comb out brows with a clean mascara wand. Examine brows for any sparse spots.<br /><br />Tip 3: Fill in With PencilUse the pencil to fill in the sparse spots with short, feathery strokes. Apply in the direction of hair growth. The key here is not to create a definite line, but to create the appearance of hair. Be careful not to pencil in the entire brow, which will result in an unnatural look.<br /><br />Your pencil should be super soft so it goes on with little exertion. But if you have a pencil that's too hard, warm the tip up by rubbing it between your fingers.<br /><br />Tip 4: Follow With Eyeshadow or Brow PowderDip an agled brush or a clean mascara wand in eyeshadow. Brush the powder along the brows. It should stick to the pencil, while also acting to blend in the color perfectly. For more staying powder, dampen the brush slightly before dipping it into color.<br /><br />Tip 5: Two Colors Instead of One?You can try two colors when filling in brows: A light powder where brows are thickest and a darker shade for the tail ends.<br /><br />Tip 6: Set Brows To keep brows in place, spritz hairspray on your finger and brush onto the brow.<br /><br />Tip 7: Uh-oh, Overplucked?If you've overplucked, it will take a few months to a couple years for hair to grow back.<br /><br />Tip 8: Condition Brows Conditioning your brows with castor oil is a great way to keep brows healthy and looking great, according to Rami Gafni in the September 2005 issue of Instyle Magazine. Gafni uses a clean mascara wand to apply the castor oil.<br /><br />Tip 9: The Shape of BrowsFuller brows are preferable to skinny ones. Have eyebrows shaped by a pro every four weeks. Use a good tweezer (Tweezerman is our hands-down favorite), to clean up the hairline in between visits.<br /><br />Tip 10: Rogaine Can HelpIf your brows don't grow fast enough, consider Women's Rogaine or men's extra-strength Rogaine applied to the sparse areas with a Q-Tip. According to the September, 2006, issue of Allure, experts recommend applying twice a day for four months. But do a test patch first on your inner wrist to make sure you don't get a rash. Check the patch after a day.<br /><br />Enjoy<br />Lorette<br /><a href="http://www.make-up-tip.com/">http://www.make-up-tip.com/</a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">julynne derrick</span>Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-7690449627930655042008-04-28T18:05:00.000-07:002008-04-28T18:09:12.019-07:00Anti-Aging Tip: Move That Sun VisorI liked this tip I got out of Prevention magazine: Move your sun visor over to the left to keep harmful UV rays off your face while you drive. It turns out most women's faces are more sun damaged on their left sides. Why? They drive a lot. I would also suggest keeping sunblock in your purse. You should apply every few hours (sunscreen needs reapplication, especially on hot, sweaty days). And yes, if you are usually the passenger, move that sun visor over to the right<br /><br />Enjoy<br />Lorette<br /><a href="http://www.make-up-tip.com/">http://www.make-up-tip.com</a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">julyne derrick</span>Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10602172.post-73702564859268298872008-03-11T06:59:00.001-07:002008-03-11T07:11:22.369-07:00Wrinkle Reduction and Skin Rejuvenation<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCpWK_EcMe4TpY5aHmdMMCOdgWYOoDdlGkcSPbpog3Cnb1sqEbvf8nGq39HuZSkxWUt4Jc6WZpSgkXLCHQ2ON81DF1ChGPYbsyL0E4SUDSdyhXd5XAIm3XBBWZ7enp6LuvL_36Vw/s1600-h/skincarecoversmall.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176486433253960274" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCpWK_EcMe4TpY5aHmdMMCOdgWYOoDdlGkcSPbpog3Cnb1sqEbvf8nGq39HuZSkxWUt4Jc6WZpSgkXLCHQ2ON81DF1ChGPYbsyL0E4SUDSdyhXd5XAIm3XBBWZ7enp6LuvL_36Vw/s320/skincarecoversmall.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Have You Ever Wondered What It Might Be Like To Find The Long Lost Fountain Of Youth?</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We Can’t Promise You That, But We Can Give You A Close Second...<br />Your skin is the first telltale sign of getting old.

However, you have 3 basic options for concealing them: <br /><strong>Option 1</strong>: Use a proper concealer. Test out the best colors at a department store counter or at Sephora. (Tip: Tell the makeup artist you are looking to correct the undereye circles and are testing several different types before purchase). Choose concealer that's a shade lighter than your foundation. And if your circles are very dark, go 2 shades lighter. You might be choosing a concealer that's too light if you are getting a 'raccoon look.' We find it works best to apply stick concealers with your finger dabbing a few dots under your eyes.<br /><br /><strong>Option 2:</strong> Invest in a vitamin K-based eye product Eye creams such as Vita-K Solution gel <a href="http://erclk.about.com/?zi=19/nlw"></a>or Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue <a href="http://erclk.about.com/?zi=19/nlx"></a>can help strengthen capillary walls so dark circles and veins become less visible.<br /><br /><strong>Option 3:</strong> Laser treatment If you have a chronic case of undereye circles, you should contact a doctor about lasers. Lasers can thicken the skin by increasing collagen production, so you are less likely to see veins, according to Los Angeles facialist Kate Somerville in June 2005 issue of InStyle magazine.<br /><br />Enjoy<br />Lorette<br /><a href="http://www.make-up-tip.com/">http://www.make-up-tip.com</a>Lorettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16760878753857515543noreply@blogger.com0
