Should Mascara Only Be Applied to the Top Lashes?

Beauty Quickie: Beauty experts agree that mascara should just be left to the top lashes. Nevertheless, if you want to give your eyes the appearance of being wider then apply mascara to the bottom lashes as well. Always seem to get mascara everywhere when applying product to the bottom eyelashes? Try placing a tissue under the lower lashes before application to cut down on any beauty messes.

“I didn’t consider myself a fashion designer at all the time of punk. I was just using fashion as a way to express my resistance and to be rebellious. I came from the country, and by the time I got to London, I considered myself to be very stupid. It was my ambition to understand the world I live in.”

-Vivienne Westwood

Can Dandruff Be Controlled With Mouthwash?

Arianne Suggs April 8, 2015April 8, 2015Leave a Comment

Hair Quickie: We always believe that you should get as much bang for your buck when it comes to household items. Dandruff is an unsightly hair issue that can be caused by environmental exposure to extreme heat or cold and by using too many hair products i.e. hair gel, pomades or hairspray. Mouthwash can be used for more than controlling bad breath, it can also help to control flakes. Use a cotton ball to dab on mouthwash and let it sit for half an hour before shampooing tresses like normal. Regular use can help stamp out dandruff as well as cast out bacteria on your scalp or in your strands.
