BEAUTY NOTES: Want to look like a VS Angel? Well, you can, it is all in the right makeup technique. For Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows the look is all about au natural beauty. Meaning the models’ makeup is applied only to enhance their natural strongpoints and features.

To get the look keep the focus on emphasizing the eyes. Create full brows with complimenting voluminous and lengthy eyelashes. Pronounce eyes even more with a subtle yet dramatic cat-eye. Lastly, add blushed cheeks, a slight glow with a glossy or matte skintone lip and you will be good to go! Got it? Great! Let’s get back to the runway.

The wrong fit will not help to give you the support that you really need. This can lead to irritation as well as tons of discomfort. Something us girls can all agree on that we would like to avoid, especially since it’s tough enough to pause a Netflix binge to huff and puff for half an hour.

Breast Enhancement Thanks to Good Old Exercise

Breast Enhancement Thanks to Good Old Exercise

If you are lacking motivation to hit the gym regularly maybe the thought of larger breast may help. Not all of us are born with awesome knockers like Tyra, Janet and Halle Berry. However, we can perk up our girls with a little effort and dedication. Here’s how to achieve breast enhancement thanks to good old exercise.

Breast Enhancement Thanks to Good Old Exercise

If it were easy everyone would do it. We are not going to kid you and tell you that breast enhancement through exercise is going to be a walk in the park. Nevertheless, it will not be as bad as you think. All you really need to do in the coming weeks is be consistent. If you are dedicated then a shapelier physique shall be yours!

The concept is simple: build and lift them up. To give your boobs a little more spotlight you need to exercise your chest muscles. In a world where everyone wants a better and bigger booty the chest can get ignored. Nonetheless, working out your chest muscles just two or three times a week can give you a sexier bust without going under the knife.

Breast Enhancement Thanks to Good Old Exercise4

Why Does Exercise Work?

As you know boobs are just glorified fat. Underneath these sexy fat gems lie your chest muscles. Strengthening and toning said muscles starts a chain reaction. Boobs become more defined and begin to rise.

For instance, when you do squats what happens in time? The butt becomes more toned and defined. It also heads north and lifts up. All of this occurs because of the muscles in this area being worked and challenged. This principle works with the chest as well.

What exercises should be performed to enhance the bust? Chest flys are excellent for making the chest even sexier. Here’s how to perform using dumbbells:

  1. Starting Position: Lie flat on your back then with a dumbbell in each hand. Raise dumbbells so that palms face each other and arms form a wide circle or arch.
  2. Movement: From the arch position lower arms to the side till you feel a stretch at the chest.
  3. Return: Lift arms back up to starting position and that is one rep. Think as in two seconds down and two seconds back up to the start position. Do 3 sets of 12 reps.

Old Fashion

If you do not own any exercise equipment an old school move can still get you results. Push-ups are classic and very effective. Moreover, since they can easily be performed anywhere there are no excuses when it comes to succeeding in breast enhancement.

Another way to achieve breast enhancement through exercise is to focus not just on the chest muscles. Strengthening and toning up your core muscles and upper back is also key. Doing so will help you stand taller instead of slouching. As a result, your chest will look even more elevated and alluring.

Color played a huge fashion role at the WHCD. Black was a major hit among several starlets. Wearers included: Actresses Kerry Washington, Gabrielle Union, Rosario Dawson, Tracee-Ellis Ross as well as Actress/Reality star Nene Leakes.

“BRILLIANT! So much diversity! Love it!”

As you can see, to say that fans are excited about the Covergirl x Empire Collection would be an understatement. Nevertheless, one burning question did come to the fore. Where in the world is Cookie? Lyons seems to be clearly missing from the ad campaign. We will definitely be on the lookout for answers to that mystery.

Let Down your Hair

Let Down your Hair4

We’ve seen the look in magazines, on television, and on countless websites. Having down-to-there hair is a look that many women like to and love to rock. I don’t know if it is the flicking, twirling, wind-blowing through it or flipping it around action that we see so often that makes having long hair so appealing to females. It’s just that unfortunately; the truth is some of us need a little help to achieve this desired length of tresses.

So what do we do, we break out our pack of extensions and hope to God a strong wind doesn’t blow or that handsome guy we know doesn’t cop a feel and tug. I think many of us have come to the conclusion that if we are going to resemble Rapunzel then it’s going to be our own hair stealing the spotlight. However, growing long hair can be quite a challenge and takes dedication and persistence.

Let Down your Hair

Quite frankly, there are not any shortcuts when it comes to growing out your hair. On average hair only grows between 6-8 inches per year and that’s if everything about us is healthy. So to be successful in this, you have to be very diligent in taking good care of yourself inside and out. Recently, I chatted up some of my celebrity hairstylist friends and asked them to share some tips on growing long hair. Here are a few of the things they told me would be beneficial:

  • Drink plenty of fluids
  • Get plenty of rest
  • Take vitamins, minerals, and herbs ( include B-6, biotin, Inositol, Beta-Carotene and folic acid)
  • Eat a healthy diet
  • Exercise regularly (stimulates blood circulation to the scalp and hair follicles)
  • Weekly scalp massage
  • Hot oil treatments (protects hair’s shaft)
  • Regular Trims
  • Minimize your use of hot tools, chemicals, and harsh hair products
  • Avoid consuming junk food, caffeine, sugar, nicotine, and alcohol

Let Down your Hair2

Ladies I’m not going to kid you, but even if you take great care of yourself and your hair your hair growth is also determined by genetics; therefore, it may grow way slower or faster than others. Just something to keep in mind as you continue on your hair journey so that you do not get discouraged. These tips are not too demanding and if we are really truthful with ourselves we know they are things that we probably should be doing anyway. So then, it is possible to achieve long hair, it just takes effort and a healthy lifestyle.

Beauty Question: Can I Pair Anything Else With Orange Lipstick?

Beauty Question Can I Pair Anything Else With Orange Lipstick3

Beauty Answer: We loved this question so much we decided to make the rest of this week all about applying lipstick. Orange lip color is a huge trend for this summer and the great thing is that it looks great on darker skin tones when applied correctly. However, there is a bit of caution when it comes to rocking an orange lip… it clashes with just about everything else.

Orange lipstick is already very dramatic so adding various other shades or bold makeup techniques are a no-no. We have conversed with numerous celebrity makeup artists to get the 4-1-1 on this shade and they revealed to us that the only shade that complements orange lipstick is black. They also recommended that it is best to keep the rest of your face simple when wearing orange so that you do not look overdone in a bad way.

Beauty Question Can I Pair Anything Else With Orange Lipstick2

Nevertheless, if you want to have even more fun with orange lips there are still a few ways to punch things up. Use black mascara to help make your eyes pop or use a kohl pencil or eye liner to create a cat-eye. Cat-eye makeup with orange lipstick will make you look even more exotic and alluring.

Last Tip: If black seems too severe you can also apply silvery shimmer eyeshadow with a very light hand to the inside corners of your eyes as well as along the water line. (See the photo at the outset of this post for inspiration)

Beauty Question Can I Pair Anything Else With Orange Lipstick

There’s also one more thing you MUST know when wearing orange lipstick. Do yourself a favor and read our previous post The Truth About Orange Lipstick to learn what it is.
