Wouldn’t it be great if there was an easy button to hit to keep pimples from rearing their little ugly heads (literally LOL)? Take heart dolls because there is actually a weekly treatment you can perform on yourself to take back control. Enjoy today’s beauty quickie as we investigate the benefits of greek yogurt.

Benefits of Greek Yogurt – Prevent Acne With This Treatment

Can’t we all just get along? Sometimes bacteria can be a friend and other times our foe. However, this doesn’t mean we still can’t attain our happily ever after. The reason why some individuals choose to consume greek yogurt is because sometimes we can become a little unbalanced. How does that come about?

Have you ever heard of the term “flora?” Flora or bacteria are microorganisms that live in the bodies of humans. All of us possess good and bad bacteria that reside in our stomachs as well as on the outside of our skin. The goal is to maintain a healthy balance of good ones and bad ones.

If too many bad bacteria begin to overtake the good bacteria resting on the skin an imbalance can cause a few issues. The type of issues us girls actively try to avoid. Think pimple causing acne and inflammation. So then, we’re sure you would agree that it is best not to tip the scales.

Benefits of Greek Yogurt- The Skincare Treatment

The benefits of greek yogurt can be seen throughout our body. However, we will just focus on skincare. Just as eating greek yogurt benefits the stomach, applying it to the skin topically can keep skin calm and clear. Here’s a simple facial mask treatment that you can do at home:

Mix together probiotic-rich plain greek yogurt and honey
Apply mixture to the face generously
Leave yogurt mask on for around half and hour
Rinse off treatment with lukewarm water

So then, don’t allow acne or inflammation to when the battle. Be strong in the skincare war and come away the beauty victor with the help of good flora thanks to greek yogurt.

How to Use a Hair Dryer Diffuser Correctly

Arianne December 13, 2016December 13, 2016Leave a Comment

We always appreciate all of the numerous hair/beauty questions we get asked on social media so keep them coming girls. Recently, one question stuck out like a sore thumb because we know a lot of our readers are part of the curly girl club. Therefore, this one is for you dolls! Today we shall fill you in on: How to Use a Hair Dryer Diffuser Correctly.

How to Use a Hair Dryer Diffuser Correctly

A hair dryer diffuser can be a curly lady’s best friend for one of two reasons. Both reasons happen to pertain to how you plan to use the diffuser. Ask yourself, “Am I using a hair dryer diffuser in order to dry my hair more quickly? Or do I utilize it to achieve more volume? The diffuser will help you accomplish both purposes but you will need to position and hold the dryer differently in each case.

So then, let’s just quickly explain this case by case. Let’s start with the whole drying hair faster scenario. What you will want to do is hold the dryer with the diffuser attachment above your head and point it straight down. Most have been taught to point the dryer upwards; however, doing so can cause curls to become frizzy. If your goal is smooth curls then you would definitely want to avoid this mistake.

Alright, moving on to being able to create additional volume with a hair dryer diffuser. If bigger is better in your book you can gain more body by moving in a more circular motion. Also, if you really want to amp it up you need to cause lift at the roots. Flip your head over and move the diffuser in a circular motion all around the head but always aim the nozzle towards your ends.

Nonetheless, while creating volume you may create frizz if you get to close with the dryer. Prevent curls from losing their smoothness by keeping the nozzle a few inches from your strands. Moreover, by pointing the nozzle towards your ends as mentioned you will also help keep fuzz at bay.

So then, there you have it. A few quick tricks and tips that can help you get the style you want quickly and without all the fuss. Happy styling everyone!

Arianne September 14, 2016September 14, 2016Leave a Comment

What can we say, this campaign is just sick! The punk style has gone under the fashion knife on several occasions but the true essence of the look remains the same. An aspect of punk couture we have always favored is that some use it to make an awesome statement. From anti-materialism to not being considered stereotypical punk clothing has been a truly cool protest against mainstream culture. With that said, designer Viktor Luna is throwing his hat into the punk mix this season. See his vision by checking out the Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign!

Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign

Plaid, spikes, leather, metallics and fur. What’s not to like? Fashion is a form of self expression and should therefore never be boring. Moreover, Luna’s campaign is the farthest thing from being considered characterless.

Its chic, fun and a nice departure from the usual. Luna’s fine tailoring and construction has always enthralled us and he does not disappoint with this collection. Furthermore, the Viktor Luna Fall Winter 2016 Punx Republic Campaign showcases several eye-catching pieces including a harness.

Yes, you read that correct Viktor designed a Turbo Leather Harness. Instantly, we thought 2036 prosthetics? Very cool work Luna and looking forward to seeing more in the future!

OBSESSION: NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame Sunglasses

Arianne September 14, 2016September 14, 2016Leave a Comment

There was so much to love about Vera Wang’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection. The tailoring was off the charts. The designs read fierce and chic. Nevertheless, one pair of sunnies had us in love at first glance. Today’s obsession, the NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame Sunglasses.

OBSESSION: NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame Sunglasses

Ugh, could Vera Wang just hand us an oxygen mask because she is giving us life! These glasses just simply stood out. Even coming down the runway your eyes just instantly dart to them.

The magnetic pull to these shades only increased once we noticed they come in multiple tints. The straight up black ones has us craving a leather jacket and cigarette. Hence, they’re edgy as all get out.

Nevertheless, the silver-tone version gave us futuristic vibes but with a retro grunge twist. However, you slice and dice these NYFW Vera Wang Round Frame sunglasses are a must-have. We spent the night hunting them down till we found them on Farfetch! These chic babies retail for $405 and can be shopped now. Oh! First time ordering on Farfetch.com? Use code r10off to receive 10% off your order!

Cushnie et Ochs Two Toned Lips! Our New Makeup Goals!

Arianne September 13, 2016September 13, 2016Leave a Comment

We have got to give it up to Cushnie et Ochs and the MAC Cosmetics team one time! The two collaborated to produce a very glam look for the Cushnie et Ochs Spring 2017 runway show. Every model’s pout was blessed with a boisterous touch of color. What beautiful makeup has us all in an uproar. Feast your eyes on the Cushnie et Ochs two toned lips!

Cushnie Et Ochs Two Toned Lips! Our New Makeup Goals!

Going down couture memory lane, several seasons ago two tone fashions were all the rage. Every dress, skirt and jacket had to be multiple tints. Now it looks like the face is getting the same treatment.

The Cushnie et Ochs two toned lips incorporated bold shades of red and pink. The inspiration behind the look came from the film Scarface. Since we weren’t alive when the iconic film was released a quick Google education filled in the gaps.

Actress Michelle Pfeiffer’s character is one sassy siren! Moreover, her attitude is an alluring mix of Marilyn Monroe, Rihanna and Kate Moss rolled into one. A famous line heralded by Pfeiffer is, “Don’t call me ‘baby’. I’m not your baby!” Ugh, like totally obsessed now!

What we also liked about the two tone lip is that it looks great on a multitude of skin tones. Sometimes it seems that not every runway look translates that well on all skin colors or in “real life.” Nevertheless, we felt Cushnie et Ochs versions worked on all the girls and looked absolutely lovely.

Hair Trends: Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 Wet Hair

Arianne September 13, 2016September 13, 2016Leave a Comment

NYFW is keeping it ninety-nine plus one right now in the hair department. From the shows we have witnessed thus far it seems as though hair trends for next year will be fresh and modern. One look that we are currently dying for is Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 Wet Hair. This hairstyle is simply a Californian’s dream!

Hair Trends: Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 Wet Hair

Growing up in Socal your life consists of sun, beach, wind, bonfire and water. The old wash, rinse and repeat. Even with such consistency Cali life is relaxed and glamorously cool.

People love our laid back style out here and we love to serve it. Beachy waves and slick hair screams Cali girl because we all like to think of ourselves as fashionable, water sports lovers addicted to Ventura Boulevard. Maybe that is why we went B-A-N-A-N-A-S for the Altuzarra Spring Summer 2017 wet hair.

The overall look is slightly damp hair with more defined waves towards the front that loosen closer to the ends. As a result, hair looks youthful and voguish. We love this hair and thought it complemented the fruity, printed and light palette of the Altuzarra designs nicely.
