101 Beauty Tips Every Girl Should Know: Tips 6 -> 2

I cannot believe I forgot to post yesterday. I apologize to those who were waiting. I got a last minute call yesterday for an interview this afternoon so I was prepping all last night. Part two of the interview is tomorrow morning so tonight I will be prepping for that. I hope you all understand. This weekend is Halloween weekend! I hope some of you got some fun weekend plans coming up! Me and Shawn are going clubbing for the first time in a long time. I don't even remember the last time me and Shawn went clubbing together. That is how long ago it was. This is when you know you are getting old. When you can't remember the last time you partied. Me and Shawn also need to carve a pumpkin. We plan to make the pumpkin on the far right (picture below).

6) The best way to get rid of ingrown hair is to exfoliate, "which rids the skin of dead cells and allows the hair to break through the surface" - Marlena Ramoy, Bliss Spa Esthetician

This is especially important if you wax any part of your body. If you don't want any ingrown hair, make sure you exfoliate. You can exfoliate with a dry brush before you shower and a loofah/body glove in the shower. I am currently using a dry body brush from The Body Shop.

5) Carrots are good for the hair. A healthy diet leads to a beautiful you.

I strongly believe in having a healthy diet to help improve your skin, hair and well-being. If you eat bad, you will look bad. If you eat good, you will look good. If you have trouble eating vegetables, try juicing them with fruits. I know RissRose2 on YouTube has some really great juicing ideas/videos.

4) "The best time to apply cream is after the shower, as the skin has been de-oiled." - Dr. Stephen P. Bracci

It is also a great time since your pores are open from the steam in your shower. The best creams are the body butters. I know The Body Shop has tons! I personally don't like body butters since I find that it leaves a heavy scent in my skin which I don't like. I use a special lotion made by Cetaphil for my eczema skin.

3) Replace mascara and liquid eyeliner after three to four months.

This is because the bacteria that is on your lashes and eyelids goes back into the mascara and eyeliner applicator. I learned this from a women at a Clinique counter. The mascara gets thicker in the container because both air and bacteria are getting into your mascara. Sounds really gross but it's true.

2) To keep hair colour vibrant longer, use shampoos and conditioners formulated for coloured hair.

This is pretty obvious but there still some girls out there that don't do this. It is important to do this since you did spend a lot of money at the salon getting all that hair coloured. Don't want to waste it away!


Stayed tuned next Tuesday to get the final tip!

101 Beauty Tips Every Girl Should Know: Tips 81->77

Can you all believe it is almost the end of August?! Time literally goes by so fast! It feels like just yesterday I started school at George Brown College. But now I am done and looking for a job! Time for me to grow up even though we all want to be kids forever! Now onto the beauty tips!

81) The #1 reason for flaky mascara is that the formula is too dry or old. Make sure to close mascara after use to help keep its moisture. 

This would explain a few of my flaky mascaras. I thought it was just the quality of the mascara but I guess not its because my mascara was too old. This happened to my Maybelline Define-a-Lash mascara.

80) To fake clear skin when you notice a pimple, "Apply tea tree oil as soon as you spot it." - Stephanie Flor, makeup artist

Usually when I notice a pimple, I apply my Clean and Clear Persagel 10 on it. I might have to try this tea tree oil. I know you can get this at The Body Shop!

79) During the summer, "Its easy to forget that feet can be sunburned. Be sure to apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 50 when barefoot" - Dr. Leslie Campbell, DPM

I always get a flip flop tan whenever I wear them out during the summer. I do apply sunscreen to my feet but I only do it on occasion. Tan lines on the feet are the worst because when you tr to wear another pair of sandals, the tan lines show like crazy! Just Google "Foot tan lines"....you will be disturbed.

78) For clear skin, look for a cleanser with salycilic acid.

Since I do have dry skin, I would normally not look for a cleanser with salycilic acid. This is best for people who have oily/combination skin or oil skin. The facial cleanser I am currently using is the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleaner. I buy it from Costco so it comes in a huge club size bottle (20 fl. oz. or 1 L).

77) When choosing a red lipstick, you just want to remember to get one that looks good with your undertone. If you have a warm undertone, then go for warmer reds, and if you have a cool undertone, then go cooler.

I have yet to find the perfect red lipstick for myself. I tried a few from Make Up For Ever and have no luck. I thought they would have the best for me. I might have to stop at MAC Cosmetics and get an artist to find the perfect shade for me. I have a cool undertone for those wondering.
