Heads Up… Quick Mascara Tip- It’s All In the Tilt Baby!
Beauty Quickie: Mascara can do AMAZING things to your makeup look; if applied right. Moreover, there are some cool, nifty little tricks as wel as hacks you can do in order to make your lashes and eyes REALLY pop. Today we are going to share one of these beauty gems with you. Read on in order to learn a simple and quick mascara tip that may change your lash enhancing techniques forever.
Heads Up… Quick Mascara Tip- It’s All In the Tilt Baby
With this tip approach things like you would hanging something on the wall. Depending on how you want things to look, YOU HAVE TO position things in the right way. Same thing with mascara everyone. Your head position is major key. Here are 3 ways to do it:
#1 When applying mascara you should aim to keep your head up; but with a slight tilt backwards. Lowering your chin will cause the mascara to go all over your lid and that’s a look all of us wish to avoid.
#2 Once again tilt your head backwards; yet this time widen your eyes. The extra space created will really allow you to push mascara into your lashes and coat them well. Plus, once again the tilt position will cut down on getting mascara everywhere.
#3 Lastly, yet again tilt your head back; but this time look down while you apply a light coat of mascara. Once finished move to the opposite eye and utilize the same technique. Go back in forth between eyes for a few layers until you achieve the desired look. The finish should be a nice natural, yet lengthy and voluminous pair of lashes.

Clear Skin- The Easiest Methods for the Lazy Beauty Girl
Water Babies
Are you drinking enough water? This tip is so simple yet still many of us do not always make the best use of it. Drinking enough water every day can help us flush out as well as detoxify our bodies.
What can this accomplish? By staying properly hydrated we are able to rid our bodies of not only bad elements that can make us sick, but also elements that can create our beauty foe, acne.
As a result, it is essential to be sure to drink enough water each and every day. By keeping the body well hydrated with water, we can achieve not only a healthier body but healthy looking skin.

Thou Shall Not Be Picker
This year make one promise to yourself, “I will not squeeze or pick my pimples!” When a zit pops up right before a special occasion, it can be very tempting to want to get rid of it immediately. However, doing so could prove to be very costly.
What some don’t realize, is that when you pick or squeeze a pimple you’re only making the problem worse. This is because doing so can actually lead to the acne spreading. So then, what started as a little problem can then become a much bigger issue.
Therefore, what is the cure or solution to this common beauty problem? Instead of squeezing or picking, apply a topical ointment or cream specially formulated to treat acne. Also, applying toner to the skin after cleansing can help to keep skin clear. Use Q-tips or cotton balls to dab on the toner to any infected areas.
Clear Skin- The Easiest Methods
Nothing But a Food Thing Baby
Can you eat your way to better skin? In one word, yes! For healthier clear skin be sure to consume plenty of fruits and vegetables that contain vitamins such as Vitamin A and Vitamin C.
For instance, Vitamin A has been scientifically proven to help fade brown spots, create smoother skin, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This is because Vitamin A has the ability to stimulate cells that create tissues that keep skin healthy and firm. Furthermore, this vitamin also helps to protect skin against UV damage as well as infection. Therefore, if you want fresh, youthful looking skin then Vitamin A is the vitamin for you!
Not quite sure which foods will help give your body more Vitamin A? Well, Vitamin A can be derived from such animal sources such as eggs, meat as well as dairy products. However, there are plenty of plant-based food sources that you can consume as well in order to enjoy the benefits of Vitamin A. They are:
•Carrots
•Spinach
•Cantaloupes
•Kale
•Mangoes
•Apricots
•Peaches
•Broccoli

Nevertheless, not all sun exposure is bad for you. Yes, extremely long lengths of sun exposure can cause damage, however, small amounts can actually be good for your skin. daily exposure to the sun can manufacture vitamin D throughout the skin.

Remember, it’s all about healthy exposure. Short amounts and bursts of time out in the sun can do your skin much good. It is the longer amounts of UV exposure that may cause damage. Therefore, stay balanced with daily exposure to the sun, eat healthy foods, drink plenty of water, and don’t even think about squeezing or picking those pimples!

How to Wash Face Correctly -The Complete 7 Steps
Well, first you use the bar soap to… UHN! Then you apply moisturizer…UHN! Okay, so how in the world are you really supposed to get the job done (Lol). Hello and welcome to beauty 101 class where we are going to quickly outline how to wash face correctly.
How to Wash Face Correctly
It seems simple, and it is. However, many out there (we used to be one of them) are not performing every necessary step. You see most of us were taught to simply suds up, rinse and moisturize.
All great things to learn and a valiant step in the name of beauty. Nevertheless, the way to that superstar skin that you see the rich and famous rocking with, takes a little more doing. Yet, knowledge is power and those secrets all your faves know and utilize can now become yours1
The simplest way to have amazing skin is to make sure it is properly cleansed, hydrated and protected. As a wise esthetician once shared with us is that you should look at this way, “You start by taking away… taking away all the dirt, grim and bacteria and then you put the good stuff back in… i.e. serums and moisturizers.”
So then, are you ready to take the right steps to get your skin looking more fabulous than ever? Good, check out the super brief graphic below which outlines every step; AND tells you why it is necessary to do.
For instance, do you own toner? Are you currently using an eye cream or serum? It does not matter if you are a teen or in your early 20’s. It is never to early to start developing a good skincare routine in order to keep your youthful looks. Additionally, if you are older it is never too late to start fixing some of the damage or issues that developed from a lack of beauty maintenance.
Regardless of what category you fall in, a washing your face correctly can give you a look worthy of the cover of a magazine! So happy cleansing everyone!
