12/28/2017 0 Reacties How Artificial Nails WorkArtificial nails are something that can save the look of your hands if you can’t keep long nails yourself, if your own nails don’t look good, or if they are too thin. While years ago artificial nails were harmful and didn’t last long, nowadays there are possibilities to have beautiful hands and save your nails at the same time. From my own experience of applying acrylic nails, I can tell you now how it really is to have them. At first it was really not what I had expected — it wasn’t the perfect experience for having no more problems about nail care. But what I imagined to happen in the worst case scenario did not happen as well. The procedure starts with a rather simple cleaning and disinfection of the nail and the skin around it, in order to avoid possible infections if little wounds appear. “Wounds?” I thought when I first heard the word, and later I understood what it meant. Before pasting the acrylic nail the top of the natural nail should be filed down to the minimal possible thickness — and this can lead to slight scrapes and scratches around the fingernail skin. Secondly the nail is covered with a glue-like acrylic substance and the artificial nail is pressed on it, then held tightly until proper fixation. Then goes the second filing procedure, which erases the difference in levels between the natural and the artificial nails. Then comes another layer of glue and the third ritual of filing. I should say it wasn’t the most pleasant thing ever. It is uncomfortable, it hurts, it burns the skin — but it’s definitely bearable. Another short-coming is that you have to visit the professional about twice a month, as the artificial nail moves up with the growing nail and has to be fixed and, yes, filed again. Despite these disadvantages, acrylic nails can be cut as short as you want to – so it is possible to gain a real natural nail look. These nails definitely look nice, especially if you find time for regular hand nail care and grooming. They are nice to touch, don’t scratch and hold the nail color longer than natural nails.

12/28/2017 0 Reacties Leave Your Scent On His MindEven if you might not want to admit this, we, women, spend hours and hours in front of the mirror or a fashion magazineto look attractive for men. We undergo different beauty procedures, withstand a lot of pain, and all of this is for them — for the opposite sex. While your eyebrows are flawless and your captivating lips are in line with the latest trend in fashion, there’s still something you usually forget about — your scent. There are many body lotions that make you feel like in heaven, but their scent is not as strong as that of a perfume. Men won’t notice the most common scents. Try to choose a perfume that’s rare or very catchy. “Light Blue” by Dolce & Gabbana, Roma by Laura Biagiotti and Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca by Guerlain are among the best choices. If you don’t like these ones, then try to find interesting perfumes advertised in a beauty magazine. The ones that contain scents like lavender, vanilla, chocolate and honey are easy to remember. Those are all scents that will make him stop and stare. You chose the perfect scent, now let’s talk about the right spots it should be on. Men in most cases are not very attentive to scents and the majority of them won’t concentrate on trying to guess what perfume you are wearing, it should be on the spots that are most accessible for the person in front of you. The best places are the chin, behind the ears and shoulders. Here’s another very handy tip. If you are going to have a long day and feel that it might be inconvenient to constantly refresh your perfume, add a little dose to your hair. This way the scent won’t vanish and will stay with you all day. But make sure to wash your hair as soon as you get home, as it might get damaged. You can be sure that a man won’t remember you necessarily follow the latest fashion trends. But you will be on his mind when he passes by a flower shop and feels the scent of your perfume. Moreover, he may even smile and give you a call right away. Beauty & Wellness 12/28/2017 0 Reacties Eyelash Perms: Safe And Effective?Most of us have a feeling of admiration when we look at a beauty magazine or blog and see a woman with curly, luxurious lashes. Unfortunately such lashes are given to very few of us. You can have curly lashes with a special mascara, but it’s temporary and you’ll have to start everything again the next morning. Besides, mascara can run in the rain. If you really want to have curly lashes for a rather long time, go for eyelash perming, which is widely used by women and is among the latest fashion trends. All you’ll need is a trustee beauty salon that has a special chemical solution and tiny hair curlers. The procedure lasts about 40-50 minutes and is completely painless. Eyelash chemical curling is done with hair curlers. Each lash is wrapped around the curler. The curler is a flexible roller and its thickness depends on the length of the eyelashes and the desired effect. Thick rollers are suitable for long eyelashes, and thin rollers curl even very short lashes. After some time a fixing cream is applied on the lashes, and only then are the curlers removed. You shouldn’t wash your eyelashes for a couple of days. Eyelash perms give your lashes the desired shape and last more than two months. As the lashes completely renew every 90 days, you can repeat the procedure once every three months. Be attentive, a skilled cosmetician must by all means test your allergic reaction. That’s why many cosmetic companies don’t sell the components of lash perms to everyone. Beauty & Wellness Blog One of the most important components of your beauty is your hair. This is one of those advantages that women have over men. Soft, healthy and beautiful hair always gets plenty of attention from men. It is not a secret that it’s much easier to take care of straight hair. You straighten it once and it remains so for the rest of the day. But the process of straightening, which involves the usage of hair straighteners, may seriously damage your hair. That’s why you should consider the following before shopping for a straightener. Some straighteners have metal plates. This type is cheaper compared with the ceramic ones, but it will damage your hair if you use it too often. If you have thick hair and you don’t plan on using a hair straightener regularly, you should buy a hair straightener with metal plates. This is a perfect solution especially if you are shopping on a tight budget. But if you want a better quality and don’t mind spending some money, I recommend you to buy a hair straightener with ceramic plates. These ones have a number of advantages. They are smoother and the heat all over the plates is equal, which will not damage your hair. It’s also very easy to manage the temperature with these straighteners, as they cool down quickly. Also pay attention to the temperatures the hair straighteners offer. Straighten your hair at the following temperatures: At 160°C, if your hair is already damaged — you don’t need a strong one. At 170°C-175°C, if your hair is normal. You should also look for straighteners that have infrared and ionic technology. These technologies will add some moisture to your hair, which will protect them from damage. If your hair isn’t straight, but you want it to be very much, you can always turn to a good quality hair straightener that will not damage your hair and will keep you smiling.

There are many types of natural lip plumper products available on the market today. Made from natural and safe ingredients, they have proved to have a very positive result. By skillfully applying different shades of lipstick and incorporating lip stain products you can also achieve a remarkable effect. Many of these products are made up of a combination of herbs that will bring about a fast and safe result. These products will plump up your lips and make them appear fuller, fresher, and younger. Rather than using more invasive methods like collagen injections, which often go horribly wrong, you can get the results you want by making use of topical products. Some lip plumper products work in a rather unexpected way as they contain spices and oils that actually irritate the lips and make them swell. Many women find this sensation uncomfortable even though these products are inexpensive and give quick results. By applying a good lip stain product you will have achieved the “stained, plumped” result you are looking for.
Lip plumper products are also sold in colors, giving you that plumping and staining all in one, providing you find the color that suites you.

By applying products that contain cinnamon and peppers to increase blood flow and color, a good moisturizer and sunscreen, you will achieve the desired effect. 12/23/2017 0 Reacties Dying Your Hair At HomePeople are finding different ways to save money, and one of those may be hair dying at home. You should consider several things before hair dying at home. What color do you want to color your hair? Do you want to go a lighter shade than your natural color? On the other hand, do want to go to a darker shade? A word of advice would be if you want to go more than two shades lighter or darker, go to a salon. This would require more chemicals and in order for your hair to be the correct color, you should see a professional. When buying hair dye do not go by the color on the box. Use the swatch guides on the box, not the picture of model. One thing to remember is if the color has golden in the name, you may see red tones. Anything with Ash in the name will be more of a green in color. This does not mean your color will be red or green; it is just the tone of the color. An example would be if you do not want red highlights, then you would not pick a color with the term “Gold, or Golden” in the name. Cool tones such as fair skin and light eyes would use lighter shades. Warm tones such as olive complexion and dark eyes would use a darker shade. When dying your hair the coloring will have instructions included. One important thing to do is a color strand test. This is especially important if you have never colored your hair. This test will determine if there is any breakage. If your hair does become brittle on this test, do not continue with dying your hair! When you decide dying your hair at home is the right step for you, remember always follow the manufacturer’s directions and if you need help call the toll free number on the product. Welcome to the new you! 12/22/2017 0 Reacties Natural Beauty ProductsUsing beauty products for making yourself attractive and smarter have become a very common trend these days. This has enhanced the production of such items a lot and has also increased the competition and quality of such products. However natural beauty products aliased as green products have remained tempting always. So choosing right and appropriate out of such products is still a question mark. It is of course not a debatable thing that natural products are always harmless having less or zero side affects. And their usage becomes more unavoidable if your skin is sensitive towards chemicals. You can opt for homemade products but their result is very slow and time taking therefore in such case I suggest you to go for natural beauty products. To really avoid chemical products do check the composition for sure even if it says that it’s herbal or organic product. The product should not include petroleum, synthetic preservatives or artificial colors. Though such items could not be hundred percent pure because they need light preservatives to remain disinfected for long time. The important part about all this stuff is that the product should be certified under NSF/ANSI (National Sanitation Foundation/ American National Standard Identification). The green products are available for every kind of beauty requirement. Either you talk about complexion and acne or going for fitness and smartness. Natural beauty products are for everyone. Similarly as chemical beauty products are. Variety products are available for your hair too. It’s not all about trend it’s the matter of your skin, body and hair. Nature works steadily, which provides you the beauty having natural attraction instead of having artificial looks. So what you need more to decide between green products or chemical products.
