Are You Mentally Beautiful?

Sometimes it’s hard to admit when you’re not coping. In the mist of living a busy life full of priorities, inconveniences and personal grievances, it can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Help can be yours, just take the first steps to a happier you each day. What makes you feel good? Everyday as women we set out to begin a journey. Do you like me subconsciously ask yourself “How can I feel good today?” or “Is this going to be a good day for me?”..

It’s fantastic that we are interested in making ourselves look groomed and well put together. However you need to ask yourself after you hair is looking immaculate, nails freshly coated in this season’s hottest shade and your make up is looking flawless, “Am I happy?” If the answer is yes then that’s fantastic news. You need to share this with other women and help to build their self esteem and ambitions on their journeys of life. To be beautiful is to be pure, have an element of serenity and glow. To be mentally beautiful is just that in my personal opinion. To have a clear mind it should be pure, stress free and free of worry.

Here are my 8 tips to maintaining Mental Beauty:

1) Give thanks and feel highly blessed with the goodness in your life. There will always be things someone has that you feel would benefit your situation. We are always too quick to focus, dwell and vent on life instead of embracing it.

2) Don’t like something? Change it. Only you can calve out your own opportunities in life. Faith without works is dead so start building and reinventing your future with big plans to achieve realistic success.

3) Talk to someone. Whether it be your partner, mother, father, brother, grandparent, close friend, stranger or doctor; please speak out. You’ll feel so much better afterwards. Talking is often the best release.

4) Make time to enjoy own company. Personal “ME” time is more important than you may think. Being strong enough to enjoy alone time and being satisfied takes time. Don’t feel guilty to turn down a shopping trip with the girls to put your feet up in your dressing gown and catch up on the soaps. We all need some personal reflection time.

5) Make a pro active month list. Create a list of things to do that you would like to be completed before the end of each month. Be realistic however stretch yourself to do something different. Have an open mind and don’t doubt yourself.

6) Read, Research and Regain. We are blessed to have the internet at our fingertips. We need to use this along with libraries and hands on guidance from professionals. Whatever you need advice on, there is a guaranteed answer just waiting for you. So use your resources and don’t become stagnant or stale on life.

7) Eat well and encourage plenty of nourishment in your food intake. We are what we eat for sure. Don’t poison your body with sugars, artificial flavours, salt, processed foods. Your body will only function properly with the correct fuel type.

8 ) Sleep for at least 8 hours a night in a comfortable space. Make sure your sleeping area is clean, fresh and feels spacious. This has a calming effect on your body whereas sleeping in clutter, darkness and rubbish will automatically make you feel tense.

How to care for your Remi Hair

Remi Goddess human hair extensions are long lasting, luxurious human hair extensions that are available from your local hair and beauty supply store. They are available world wide in a range of colours and lengths. It is  perfect for low maintenance hair styles that stay glamorous and full of body. These hair extensions have the potential to be used for up to two years. To ensure that you get the most from your Remi Hair you will need to care for it in a way you have never cared for your extensions or weaves before..

It is vitally important for the hair that you keep it nourished with a good shampoo and conditioner that you can wash out. Wash the hair every week to keep it bouncy. Comb it out before you wash it so all of the kinks and tangles are out. Do not comb this hair from root to tip. This will pull the hair from the weft and cause shedding. Comb or brush the hair from the bottom and work your way upwards. Use intensive moisturising shampoo and conditioner to help keep the moisture and it will maintain it’s luxurious and healthy texture. Please note that you do not need to get your scalp wet every time you wash your extensions especially if you are washing regularly throughout the week. However, if you are washing your scalp gently massage shampoo into the root of the hair, on top of the hair net or directly between the cane rows. And rise with warm water until the bubbles have gone. When you wash the hair do not scrunch, rub or lather the hair with the shampoo.

When drying the hair do not rub the hair with the towel, dab the hair gently with the towel and wrapyour hair into a towel turban. When most of the water has absorbed into the towel then air dry the hair without any heat or appliance. Do not comb or brush the hair when it is wet, this can make the hair weak. Taking good care not to tangled the hair. Do not go to bed with wet hair as this will knot and tangle your hair. Plait, wrap or put your hair into a high or low bun or ponytail without product at night. If you choose to blow dry, straighten or tong the hair with a heat appliance then use a heat protective product on your natural hair as well as the Remi hair to keep it from burning or breaking. This way it will stay healthy for longer. This hair is human therefore it can and will split if you do not take good care of it. Let me know what works best for you and get yourself a Remi hair beauty regime.

Greasing your scalp with growth products is fine as long as it doesn’t touch the Remi. It will gradually drip down during the week and this is when you would proceed to washing it. It is also vitally important that you do not use Afro Caribbean Greasy products directly on the Remi hair itself as this will weigh it down and make it week and limp. The bounce will go and it will become to look stringy.

Comment in the box below about how you maintain your hair. I’m happy to answer any questions that you may have. Remi hair can cost approximately £40-65 a pack depending on the length and retailer.

Care For Your Skin

Everyday skincare Moisturiser

I was never a fan of using greasy moisturisers, lotions and body butters as my skin was naturally oily and sensitive. I never saw the point in using them until just recently when my skin on the face and body became thirsty for moisture. Areas of my skin became dark and dry. It was rough and makeup would look caked and blotchy against it.

Moisturising your skin daily and using bath soaps and shower gels with extra moisture richness is the key to maintaining healthy, smooth and soft skin. Don’t take for granted that it will heal itself without care and attention using the correct treatment products. Your skin is a living organ that gets the most exposure and it needs to be maintained like the rest of you.

Skin becomes radiant and dewy when you use skin moisture products. Make up also sits better on the skin and lasts longer with a natural finish. I personally find that when I apply a moisturiser or dry skin cream base I don’t need to apply as much foundation or blush as my skin reflects the light much more and has a naturally healthy appearance because of the skin treatments. Mixing moisturisers with crushed bronzing pearls, old foundation or lighter eye shadow gold tones can produce your own personal tinted moisturiser or highlighters for cheekbones, nose and eyebrow bone for your own body and face…TRY IT.

Tips:

• SPF Sun creams are essential to avoid sun damage that can occur all year round. Sun damage leads to wrinkles, moles and skin cancer.
• Use tinted moisturiser for a sun kissed appearance.
• Try dermatology tested and medical creams like E45, Clearasil, Simple to enrich the skin during the night.
• Bio Oil is fantastic when applied to the skin and neck. It evens skin tone whilst softening and hydrating the skin.
• Use Acai Berry and Antioxidant based creams for extra vitality. Neal’s Yard are a fantastic brand for natural products with berry extracts.
• Use Aloe Vera based creams for soothing purposes

Ten Best Tips For Applying Makeup

Ten Best Tips For Applying makeup

The advent of color films and professional makeup was what tipped the practice of wearing makeup from something that only more affluent members of society did on special occasions to something that just about anyone could access.  The glamor of Hollywood actors and actresses in the 1930s and 1940s got everyone interested in looking like a movie star and the first modern cosmetic companies were born.Now most women and even some men wear makeup on a daily basis.  I studied costuming and stage makeup in college.  Most often, the makeup done for theatrical purposes is “corrective youth makeup” which is a fancy phrase that means “making everyone look as young and aesthetically attractive as possible.”  This Hub offers up a variety of tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years for how to apply makeup.


Tip #1 – Allow Yourself Enough Time:
There’s nothing that sets up a makeup disaster better than being in a rush and not really knowing what you are doing. Applying makeup is a skill, and as with any skills, it takes some practice to learn to do it well and quickly. You never know when something is going to go wrong, and when makeup goes wrong it might be something simple or something that requires starting over entirely. If you are going to try something new with makeup fashion, or use a new product that is really different than whatever you’ve used before, do a makeup practice run ahead of time.

Tip #2 – Start With a Clean Face:
Makeup goes on best over clean skin. Washing your face about a half hour before you are going to start putting on makeup is recommended as then your skin can relax after the washing. This will not only let your skin tone return to its normal shades and tones (hot or warm water will change the appearance) but it allows the pores to close back down, which keeps makeup out of them. Don’t do really harsh scrubs, as these can really open up the skin surface and allow the oils and chemicals of makeup to get into the pores, which leads to breakouts later.


Tip #3 – Know What You Are Doing With Your hair Before You Start Your Makeup:
If you have to do hair styling as well as your makeup fashion, know what you are going to do with it before you do any makeup. Be sure that anything you might do to your hair as far as washing or wetting it is done prior to doing makeup, as one wrong splash could ruin it. Some hairdos require curlers or putting the hair up in some way, and if all you’d need to do is take the hair down and quick style it, then you’ll want to do that prior to your makeup. Also, make sure you have a way of keeping your hair out of your face while you do your makeup.


Tip #4 – How To Get The Best Points On Eye And Lip Liners:
Keeping your eye and lip liners in the refrigerator will harden the makeup, and makes it easy to get a super point when sharpening, which is a classic makeup artist trick. However, cold makeup drags and catches when you go to apply it, so they need to be room temperature for actual use. If you are doing fancy makeup in the evening, put those liners on a shelf in the fridge the night before or morning of the big event. Sharpen them before you go to wash your face, and then let them sit out and they will have warmed up appropriately by the time you go to use them.


Tip #5 – Have A Well-Lit Place To Apply Your Makeup:
Even though you may wind up in a dimly-lit restaurant or club, have a well-lit location to do your makeup. When I was in high school, my mom kept all her makeup in the bathroom, but would bring it out in a little basket to the kitchen to makeup her eyes, as there was a mirror on the wall there that had much better light. Being able to see what you are doing makes for a cleaner and more even application. You don’t want to look like a painted clown if you make yourself up in dim light and then find yourself standing someplace bright. Put the makeup on in good light, and then check it in more dim light to see the effect if you know you are going to be out someplace darker. If you need to make the look more bold, you can always add more easily. Removing too much makeup is much more difficult.


Tip #6 – Skin Tone and Foundation:
Foundation is the name given to the base layer of makeup that goes on to even out skin tone. Done well, it’s literally invisible and done poorly it can looked streaked, caked on, flaking off or like some sort of clown makeup. This is one of the hardest things to do well in applying makeup fashion and is worth taking the time to find a tone that matches your skin, and then practicing putting it on. I recommend foam, triangle sponges or your fingers. Remember, just like the old advertising slogan, “a little dab’ll do ya.” Don’t forget to blend it down onto your neck and out to the ears if you want to avoid the clown face look.


Tip #7 – Blush:
Here’s another area where a little is better than a lot. Blush is most often a powdered makeup that most people think is for adding color to cheeks, but really it’s about shadowing and contouring the cheekbones and sides of the face. Again, practice makes perfect. Done badly, blush comes off looking like some sort of warpaint accident or an 80s New Wave flashback.


Tip #8 – The Eyes Have It:
I think the biggest thing that people mess up when it comes to applying eye makeup is to overdo it. My mom jokes about eye shadow ‘garage doors’ that you see on some ladies. You know the look: they blink and it’s like a brightly-colored garage door slammed down and then up again. The other eye makeup mistake that’s often seen is too much or too heavy an application of eyeliner. Lining all the way around the top and bottom lash line of the eye shrinks it down. Skip the bottom all together for daytime looks, or only put eyeliner on the outer one-third of the lower lash line. And blend and soften your eyeliner with a fingertip. Save those really dark and bold eye lines for nighttime.


Tip #9 – Lovely Lips:
The best lipstick can be like foundation: people don’t really notice that you are actually wearing any. Picking a lipstick shade that is like your own lip color but a bit darker can offer a very realistic and subtle effect. Beware of bright pinks and oranges, they can look tacky all too easily. Beware super shiny gloss finishes as they can draw undue attention to the lips. Much like other bold effects, save this for low-light situations or holiday parties.


Tip #10 – Less Is More:
Applying just a little makeup  is usually a better choice than applying a lot. Running short on time? Just powder your face, line your eyes, brush on a touch of shadow, apply lipstick and go.  You can use the exact same makeup for daytime work and a night out dancing, just by applying it lightly for day, and then doing a quick but bold touch-up in just minutes.

Lip Colour That Lasts? Long-Lasting Lipstick Claims Verified

Lip Colour That Lasts? Long-Lasting Lipstick Claims Verified

Lipsticks can be expensive and their claims can be misleading. The ‘day-long lipsticks’ can make you poorer by anything between five hundred to fourteen hundred rupees but not all of them will last the full eight hours. Consumer VOICE bought 10 day-long lipsticks of the leading brands and put them to user test. The results were disappointing. Five out of ten brands tested lasted for just about four hours. Even with such an expensive product, the quality of the lipstick left a lot to be desired. Users complained for some lipsticks that felt sticky and left stains on coffee mugs. We also noticed that lipsticks do not give good value for money in terms of the quantity. The Revlon Color Overtime Sheer Lip Color did not last even ten applications by the user.

All in all, most ‘day-long’ lipsticks do not give such a great deal to consumers, certainly not if we compare their steep price with their performance. However, not all lipstick users were unhappy with the brands they used. Brands like Chanel and Maybelline were given good scores as they left the lips leaving moisturized and had a pleasant fragrance.

Some lipsticks are a bit cumbersome to use for women who are strapped for time. Lipsticks that come in two containers (colour and gloss) will need more application time than the ones that come in just one container and are a bother to carry around.

How we test

Consumer VOICE did a preliminary market survey and chose ten of the most selling brands in the ‘long lasting’ category. All brands so chosen were of “matt”, “semi-matt” and “gloss” finish. The lipsticks were then distributed to select users who were briefed about the objective of the survey and were explained how frequently to use the lipstick. The users continued to eat and drink as usual. The users filled in their responses in a questionnaire daily and used the lipsticks for a maximum of 10 days.

The good buys

• Cost-effective: The most expensive lipstick may not be the longest to last. Our user tests show that a Rs 395 lipstick like the Chambor (Flowing Lipstick) is a good buy as it lasts for 7-8 hours and is also one of the cheapest lipsticks in our survey. The users were satisfied with the product.

• Feels good: The Chanel (Rouge Hydra Base) lipstick at Rs 1400 is the costliest among the ten lipsticks tested by us. At the same time, it is also high on the user-happiness factor as not only does it last the promised 8 hours, it also moisturizes the lips and has a pleasant fragrance—both qualities make it a good lipstick to use.

Lip Tips

If you choose to add lipstick to the list of cosmetics you use everyday, here are some tips: Just a dash of lipstick adds glamour to face. Lipstick should be applied properly and should be of the right color to suit the skin tones and the attire Colour combination. Lipstick however does not last long, especially when we eat and drink. Here are a few tips on lipstick and how to make lipstick last long and stay longer on your lips, not only by applying lipsticks the right way but also by choosing the right lipstick.

1. Store lipstick in the fridge, it will last longer.

2. While buying lipstick never use the tester on your lips. It is very unhygienic. Apply the tester on fingertips. This is a better option than the back of your hand.

3. Use your lip liner as a base for your lipstick. This will ensure that lipstick lasts longer.

4. Line your lips whenever you use lipstick.

5. To keep lipstick off your teeth, once your have applied lipstick, put your index finger into your mouth and pull it out. The extra lipstick will come off on your finger. Lipstick staining your teeth makes you look extremely shabby. To avoid this, pucker your lips in an extreme ‘O’ and then apply the lipstick. Even if your lipstick smudges to the insides of your lips, wrap your finger with a tissue and put it into your mouth, and twist it slowly to eliminate any extra color.

6. Lipstick can be used as blush, but do not use blush as lipstick.

7. Apply lip liner first. If your apply lipstick first and then try to apply lip liner you will not be able to see the natural line of your lips.

8. If you do not like a shade of lipstick, do not throw it out. Just mix it with other shades of lipstick and create your own shade.

9. To keep gloss on for longer first fill your lips with lip liner and then apply gloss on it. The gloss has something to stick to and therefore lasts longer.

10. If your lipstick has broken, just light a match under the broken part of a while, when the lipstick melts a little then put it back on the base. Then swivel down the lipstick and put it in the fridge, uncovered for about 5 minutes.

11. When you are to the last bit of your favorite lipstick scrape out the last bits with an orange stick and mix it with lip-gloss or Vaseline and use it.

Lips and eyes are the most important focal points of your face so one must pay special attention to these areas while doing makeup. Here are some additional tips for your lips that you can use:

12. To prevent lipstick from sticking to the glass you are drinking from, discreetly lick the edge of the glass before touching your lips to it.

13. To smoothen the lips a little before applying lip color, rub them a little with washcloth gently.

14. If you have thin lips, use light shades to make them appear fuller. Define the lip using the neutral lip pencil from slightly beyond your natural lip line and then apply lipstick covering up lip defining line. Another trick is to apply white shadow on center of both lips over lipstick very lightly and spread it gently.

15. If your upper lip is too thin or does not have a good shape, outline it with the lip liner similar to your lipstick and in the center portion, draw a second line giving it the precise shape using a brown pencil. Apply colour including the brown line. This will make your lips look fuller.

16. To hide lip lines, apply lipstick vertically.

Lead in your Lipstick

Lead is certainly at the top of the list of toxins which is ingested through cosmetics.

1. Lead in your lipstick may come from one of two places: colorants, which may contain lead, or as byproducts from ingredients obtained from raw materials like mineral oil and paraffin.

2. Studies have found that there is no safe level of lead, and since it does not break down in your body you will accumulate it for a lifetime. According to the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, which conducted the lipstick study last year:

“Lead is a proven neurotoxin that can cause learning, language and behavioral problems. Lead is also linked to infertility and miscarriage. Pregnant women and young children are particularly vulnerable to exposure because lead easily crosses the placenta and enters the fetal brain, where it interferes with normal development.”

Bronzers – The Midas Touch

Bronzers – the Midas Touch

In today’s world of “Intense fashion”, there would hardly be any woman who would not be familiar with the term “Bronzers”. However, for those of you who are not sure about what exactly is the purpose of bronzers, let us take a quick look at its definition and purpose.

Bronzer is actually a thick powder like substance which resembles the powdery foundation. However, it acts opposite to the foundation. Where foundation is used to make your skin look brighter or adjust it to the color of make up, bronzers help to tan your skin without getting a sun bath. Therefore you don’t have to walk to the shop in downtown, to go and lay down in the ultraviolet tanning bed. In fact you can tan yourself according to your desire easily by using the bronzers. Bronzer comes in different colors, depending on how much tan you want to look. Bronzers are coming in different types now. Some of the most popular ones can be categorized as:

Powder Bronzer: Powder bronzers are just like the thick powder foundation and they are perhaps the most common type of bronzer around. They are ideal for people who have an oily skin and who are finding it hard to find a perfect solution for their skin. Powder bronzers can be applied easily within seconds and they can be applied all over the skin.

Moisturizing Bronzer: These are also known as cream bronzers. These are meant to be used by people who are having a dry skin. If you have an oily skin and you pick up a cream/moisturizing bronzer, you would find it very excessive. The skin would really look like a complete mess. However, one good thing about the cream bronzers is the fact that they can help to highlight each particular feature of skin in an excellent manner.

Gel Bronzer: Gel or fluid bronzer is another addition to the variety of bronzers available. Gel bronzer can be applied to your skin along with the foundation as well. It quickly absorbs in your skin.

Some of the useful tips while applying a bronzer would include:

While applying a bronzer always spread the bronzer with brush in a circular motion. This helps you to evenly spread it all around your skin. This also helps to highlight the features of your face.

If you are not sure about what color or density of bronzer you should use, try to go for multi-tonal bronzer. It will readily mix with your skin color.

If you are not sure about what kind of bronzer you should apply to your skin, check for your complexion as pinkish skin normally goes with a bronzer which has a blend of pink in it. However, if you have an olive color skin, try to go for honey or orange blend.

Although it might sound a bit “too over conscious” but try to go for a bronzer which comes with SPF. This helps to have maximum protection against the UV rays.
