Quick Tips!

Mac frosty lipstick in What a do!

Frosty lipstick: ok ladies I know some of you looove frosty lipstick but be careful in choosing the brand and how frosty it is and if is matches our skin type ..why? well it make us look sick in some cases and it make your teeth appear to be yellow..now girl you don't want to be on that date and getting the look like you don't handle those pretty whites ..LOL! so Mac has one frosty that I love and its called What a do! its nude and it makes most skin types look great!




OOh Miss Nicole how can I make my thin lips appear plump?: there are so many lipstick,glosses ,Cinnamon type products on the market that will help with that but I can save you the time and money girl..I got this tip from a friend who is a wonderful Artist..this man took the clients favorite lipstick applied it to her lip then dabbed a little shimmer on your cupids bow (at the top V part of your lip) and then add a little to your bottom lip and bam! you got full lips !


those are a few tips I have for today I hope it helps you ladies ..stay tuned for more quick tips in the future!

Did You Know? Remedies

OK ladies and Gents lets talk about our skin. Did you know there are many things that we have in our Kitchens and bathrooms today that can cure some of our skin problems ? I know your looking at the screen like this Chic is crazy..but there is ! check this out:
Bags under eyes this is a common problem among all of us and there are ways to reduce them
 Salt: yes salt! you know how it cause us to swell when we eat to much of it? well it causes the same reaction in your eye sockets it collects water and cause baggy eyes. so low salt!
Pollen : OK we all know pollen irritates our eye but it can cause bags .wow! Did you know?

Pets : Pet dander our pets sometime have dander and it causes our eye to be attacked and irritated
Fragrances : Did you know your fragrance can cause irritation and bags under eyes? wow crazy huh?
have know fear there are solutions. I told you can cure them with things you have around your kitchens or your bathroom well for under eye bags:

Cold potatoes and Cucumbers..potatoes have hold cold longer and they are a natural astringent so when you apply them to your eye they help reduce the swelling (apply for 10 min) and cucumbers are a natural way of soothing the eye and reducing swelling . Did you know?

Cold whole Milk..yes milk and you want the milk fat and make sure it cold ..you apply the milk on a cotton swab go around eye carefully and hold swab under eye for 10 min  wonderful!

Raise your pillow ..Did you know that when you lay flat the water rush to your head and collect under your eyes and cause bags? ..so raise that pillow to reduce bags. Wow!

Dull Skin
Do you have Dull skin ? Did you know that if you use Pepto Bismol it soothes and coats the skin just like it does your stomach? the pink stuff in the medicine cleans out pores and gives you a healthy glow..wow amazing ! (apply on skin leave on for 10 min then peel)

Fine line and Wrinkles

Did you know if your have Fine Line and Wrinkles all you have to to a take a trip to you health food store or maybe you have this in you cabinet and get some Manuka Honey? ($15.00) just apply over you trouble spots for 10 min and rinse ..Did you know it was also good for healing wounds?..wow!

Sleep
Go to bed!! get 8 hours of sleep and the reduces a lot of problems in our body

I hope this all helped you and in this economy we all need to hold on to our dollars and if there is something you have at home instead of spending big money for remedies then try it and see if it works for you..

Keeping those Lips Healthy and Kissable

Lets face it we all have experienced dry,cracked.chapped lips ...well Ladies and Gentalmen Im here to give you tips and tricks to keep those lips soft,hydrated,sexy and ready to wear those sexy fall lipsticks and lip glosses . you wanna know how? check this out:

*Drink plenty of water: yes water our lips have skin on them and they are apart of our body and it needs hydrateing 8 glasses will do .

* Exfoliate Exfoliate: I exfoliate my skin 1-2 times a week and my lips are apart of my face so I use my fav exfoliator and bring it over my lips gently to get all the dead skin off . one other way you can exfoliate is by using olive oil and sugar (1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of sugar) let sit with a warm wash cloth,rub gently,rinse .It not only exfoliates but it moisturize the lips as well. Also there are Lip exfoliants on the market that work really well: Lush,Kiehls,Mary Kay,Soft lips,BigeLow(bath and body works) and my fav for my whole entire body St Ives its cheap and great!

*MOISTURIZE: yes people this is a very important step! please please do this . Let me give you my got between sometimes I reach for my BigeLow Mega Mint lip balm tinted(Bath and Body works) it not only give my lips moisture but I'm a little minty and I love it! my other go to is Eos in lemon drop(Cvs)  also Mac has a lip conditioner in a tube its an emolient balm I keep it home I also have one for my Make up case for my clients loove it! my other fav and its really good if you have REALLY  dry lips. Neosprin lip health ..this stuff is the bomb! it  gets those dry cracked lips back in shape (Cvs) also try the Neosprin overnight renewal I recommend this to my male clients . I can sit here and name millions like :Burt bee,Chapstick,Neutragena etc..us what works best for you .

One other tip : One day I noticed no matter what I did I would wake up with dry lips I was worried because sometimes there is something wrong internally that can cause dry lips. I went to the Doctor he did a few blood test and I found out I was Severely Anemic which lead to other things . by the grace of God is under control. so guys please pay attention to your body even the little things tell you a lot..so God bless I hope my tips and trick help you

Want to know how to get Healthy long lashes natually?

Hey Ladies and Gents!

I want to tell you how to keep your eyelashes long and less fall out naturally ..well its simple its something that most of our parent or grandparents kept in their cabinets . Yes its good old petroleum jelly there are so many benefits of this stuff . my Great Grandmother (Mrs Wright)used to say her black didn't crack because of it and my Italian auntie used it for years to keep her skins so soft and less wrinkles. here is what you do for your eyelashes: clean face,make sure you warm up the Vaseline in between you fingers ,apply to eyebrow for suppleness and around your eyelash ,rub on corner and then apply on eyelash as if your putting on mascara with your fingers don't forget under eye ! do this for 1-2 weeks for results some may have results sooner but it works for me. This is why I don't always wear false lashes because of this tip ..unless I want too! so I hope you try this old remedy .
Note: May not work for everyone and make sure your not allergic I don't know many who are but please make sure and take your time.

Thanks to my Great Grandmother Wright who we lost this past year, she was 98 years old and was a lady till the day she died she always taught me how to be a lady I miss and love you ..your the reason I love doing what I do..kiss
