100 Beauty Tips, part 2

11. Cooled. Secret tip for all seasons, not just summer: put your moisturizer in the fridge. Colder moisturizer will reduce the size of your pores and your complexion will look nicer.

12. Push-up... without washing your hair! Divide your hair into 5cm wide pieces. Wrap them around your hand and secure the hair with bobby pins. Spray a little bit of hairspray and let your hair to dry completely. Remove the bobby pins and your hairstyle is done.

13. Multi-purpose tea. For oily skin: dip a cotton pad in chamomile tea and apply it to your face. Rinse with lukewarm water after 15 minutes. For under eye bags: put two wet mint tea bags in the fridge and leave them inside for about an hour. After an hour take them out, let them cool a litlle bit, and put the tea bags on your eyes for 10 minutes.

14. Experts advice. Complexion illuminator makes your face look better with an even glow and provides the sophisticated natural flushing face. Try the Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Hydrating Makeup SPF 10.

15. Cheers! We all know how important it is to drink enough water so start drinking enough water today. 

16. Alarm. If you have red eyes after a night out use a white eyeliner that you apply on your lower lash line.

17. No excuses. No matter how late you get home, always remove your makeup. Put makeup remover wipes on your nightstand so you can remove your makeup even if you are half asleep. You can use Nivea Visage Facial Cleansing Wipes for Normal & Combination skin or for Dry & Sensitive skin.

18.  Unbelievable. If you have some eye cream left on your fingers after applying it around your eyes, use that leftover cream around your lips, and any small lines around your lips will disappear. 

19. Never without. As soon as the sun starts shining put on sunglasses.Squinting causes small lines which you definitely don't need yet.

20. Number 1. Celebrities are like chameleons when it comes to dying their hair. Scarlett Johansson recently revealed how she protects her hair: with Kerastase Resistance Bain de Force Shampoo.

Beauty Secrets #2: Attitude, part 2

Here is the second part of first chapter in the book World's Best Kept Beauty Secrets by Diane Irons. Like I said in the first part I really like this book and I thought I would share the tips inside the book with you. Enjoy :)

1. Don’t act or dress your age. How do you begin your own ‘’timeless’’ appearance? Pick up a magazine that might be geared to a different age demographic. Shop at a different store or department than you usually do. 

2. Start a journal. Keep your daily activities and thoughts as a reliable thermometer to your current state of thinking. Use it to keep track of what you’re eating, wearing, and feeling.

3. Find your energy level. Don’t rely on the time of day to tell you when to eat, when to rest, etc. Let your body do the talking!

4. Set goals. It could be as small as ‘’I will lose five pounds by the end of the month’’ or ‘’I will devote one hour a day just for me.’’ Sit back, close your eyes, and visualize yourself as slimmer, happier, or more assertive.  Beauty begins with self-acceptance. Look in the mirror, smile, and say ‘’hi!’’

5. No-Brainer. Have one or two outfits that you know make you look terrific and require no thought. 

6. Keep no more than five cosmetics that can make you look fabulous and don’t have to be color coordinated. Keep one overcoat that will make you look stylish.

7. Keep moving. Don’t stay frozen in time. Keep a look that is absolutely your style, but keep reinventing that look to keep up with the times.

8. Learn to forgive. Get back to self-acceptance. Let it go! Learn to forgive others. Throw it away, and get on with your life today!

9. Meditation is a beauty ritual.  It can be perfectly relaxing and enjoyable way to start the day.

10. I double dare you. Whether it’s just getting a manicure or changing your hair color, just a little something new or different can create a brand-new mind-set.

11. Self-portrait. Drawings are our subconscious speaking to us. Take a pencil or crayon, and draw a picture of yourself. Ask yourself what your drawing says about you. Did you take up a whole page? Are you in the corner? Are any of your body parts missing? Are you wearing clothes? What kind of clothes are you wearing? Are you wearing shoes? Are any of your body parts out of proportion? What would you name your drawing? The most evidential self-portrait results were the ones done by teenagers and homemakers reentering the workplace. They were most likely to draw themselves without body parts, grotesque bodies, or as being practically invisible, taking up only a small corner of the page.
