How to Look Exhilarating in Just a Few Minutes
Beauty Quickie: Busy, jet-setting or short on time in general? Here is how to look exhilarating and absolutely stunning in just a few minutes. You want to start with your eyebrows by lightly penciling them in and then cover any pimples or acne by applying concealer. Lastly, complete your look with mascara. Simple, easy, yet thorough enabling you to relax and get on with your day.
Make the Scarf Come Alive!
Let’s make the scarf come alive! Choose a color that matches what you are wearing but not exactly the same. If pairing a scarf with a flowing dress, coat or loose-fitting clothing add a belt to add dimension. However, put your belt a little above your waist so that your waist looks substantially smaller.
Fashion Spy: Of course this look can work in any season, but this fall and winter this trend is a must! We spied this fashion look at the Burberry Prorsum Fall/Winter 2014 show during London Fashion Week.
How Often Should I Cleanse My Face
Beauty Quickie: Over cleansing your skin can actually lead to more breakouts and acne. Keep any additional inflammation to a minimum by cleansing your face no more than twice a day. Nevertheless, always remember to utilize two clean washcloths, one to cleanse with and the other to gently pat your skin dry.
Don’t Get Tied Down
Hair Quickie: Tying your hair back super tight could eventually run you the risk of developing hair loss. Pulling your tresses back tightly can train your locks to grow scarily close to the surface of your scalp. Over time if this continues, your hairs can grow so close to the surface that they lose their grip in the skin and fall out. Don’t get tied down, keep things a little more loose when you can.
Fake a Bang, Reverse Ponytail
We love hair that is creative and fresh! In lieu of Project Runway’s new season debut (yup we can’t wait either!) we decided to flashback to the spring/summer 2014 fashion show. If you have ever wanted to try a bang without all the commitment then this hairstyle is perfection.
The reverse ponytail sent hair greatness chills up our collective spines. To this day we still adore this modern fresh take on a classic hairstyle. A ponytail that doubles as a bang? Argh, we just died and went to hair heaven!
Daily Beauty Quote August 6
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
― Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Beauty Trend: Nude Lips
A hot sizzling trend of the season is a nude lip. You might feel that matching your lip color to your skin tone will look weird or boring. However, au contraire that is when the real magic and dramatics begin!
This classy look when done properly draws just as much attention as a bolder more boisterous shade would. Be very careful to make sure all dead skin as well as flakes have been removed prior to lip tint application. Failure to do so could result in the final result looking like your lips are bumpy and that is so not cute. This trend gives off a very natural and sophisticated vibe.
We are fans of MAC Cosmetics Pedro Lourenco Summer 2014 lipstick collection. We recommend the MAC Cosmetics Pedro Lourenco Summer 2014 Peach Beige lipstick to achieve a nude lip. Happy shopping!
Beauty Notes: This is kind off topic, but not really! HA! Here are a few more shades from the MAC Cosmetics Pedro Lourenco Summer 2014 collection that we thought were simply stunning.

Coconut Oil-The Natural Makeup Remover
There are so many harmful ingredients that get manufactured into makeup products these days. It is no wonder why some women suffer harsh reactions including breakouts just from the cosmetics that they use. Finding natural products to utilize can help cut down on any chances of makeup drawbacks.
This is even true in the methods that you use to remove your makeup. We all do it in different ways and there is not necessarily a wrong procedure. Nevertheless, coconut oil is an all natural method that can yield great results. If you prefer the solid version, simply take a small amount and swipe it where necessary to remove your makeup. Or use a cotton ball that has been moistened with the coconut oil to perform the removal. Either way you will be able remove your cosmetics as well as provide great moisture for your skin.
