DIY Feather Nails

The moment I saw this nail tutorial I fell in love with it and knew I had to share it with you! This original nail idea requires only top coat, scissors and, of course, feathers that you can find in your local crafts store.

 

The first thing you need to do is to paint your nails the color you want (you can make a gradient effect like the one in the picture using a sponge).

Wait for it to dry and lay the feather on the nail to see if it fits, then apply top coat to “glue” it to the nail. Push the feather gently to the nail so it can stick properly.

Wait for it to dry and cut all of the excessive parts of the feather with the scissors. If you think it’s not secure enough, apply a second coat of top coat and let it dry completely.

Your feather nails are done and you can go and show them off to all of your friends!

Do not forget, fashion and trends brow change but 'natural and groomed eyebrows are always in fashion.

STEPS: 

1. Use brow pencil to draw a defined line under your eyebrow.

2. Do the same for the top of your brow.  Focus on defining the rear end of your brow.

3. With Shadow Eyebrow fill the space between the two lines. Start at the inner corner and finished on the outside. If your hair is dark, use a dark shadow eyebrow, if your hair is light use a light shade. It is best to mix light and dark color, you get the one that match you.

4. Finish with a Clear Gel. He holds the eyebrow hairs in place and prevents it are moved. If you do not plan to stay long in night do not have to put gel, and without him eyebrows can stand for hours.

There are a few things you should not do when it comes to eyebrows.

Pay attention to this:

2. Do not extend the ends too much!
3. Do not put too much shadow on brows!
4. NEVER EVER fill in your brows with black pencil!!!

Match the shape of the eyebrows with the shape of your face!

Eyebrows give your face a much nicer appearance. If they are not appropriate for your face shape they will make the face look disproportionate and not so nice. If your eyebrows are uneven and wrong for your face shape, you will not look natural and feminine. If you do not know what kind of eyebrows fit your face use these tips. 

 

 

 

 

Eyebrows for elongated and square face

For this face shape to avoid high arched brows. Best suited to moderately thick eyebrows (not too thin or too thick), with a slight bow that looks natural, they equate the whole face. Strictly avoid round-arched brows. 

Eyebrows for a round face

For this face shape it is the ideal middle or slightly higher arch, thinner width, because visually makes the face thinner. But you may not end up on the thin line, do not go overboard. The biggest mistake is to make the round arch eyebrows,  terrible stand this face shape. 

Eyebrows for an oval face

For this face shape perfectly matches the high arc. Slim, high arch will make everyone look at you. Be careful not to be too high arch. 

Eyebrows for  heart-shaped face

This face shape correspond eyebrows with round arches, not too high, and with a little thinner ends. Strictly avoid high arched and straight eyebrows because it can make you look weird.

I hope my tips will be helpful, use them to have perfect eyebrows.

DIY Longer Lashes !

Did you know that there are actually tricks to make your eye lashes look longer without the usage of a mascara?

Yes, yes, there are. It will sound strange to you at first, but vaseline in jars is one of the tricks. The same vaselines that are used for dried or burnt skin. No need to give your money for lash serums, which are probably not going to work anyway. Simply go to the closest drugstore and buy a jar of vaseline, if you don’t already own one.

Every day before you go to bed take a cotton bud or a small brush, dip it in the jar and afterwards apply on your lashes from the roots. Remember, this is not a serum, it simply moisturizes and gives them more strenght. Strong and voluminous lashes makes them look longer, it’s actually an optical illusion, and they are simply more beautiful now.

Apply the product at least 1 month, knowing that 3 months is advisable. Be carereful with your eyes, be patiente and just wait for it to start being effective. You can see the difference in just a week after you start using it regulary!

DIY Beauty: Overnight Acne Treatment

What you will need:

Tea Tree Oil
Water
Calamine
Small Bowl
Small Bottle with Screw Top (I used an airplane travel-size bottle from the dollar store)  
Dropper (optional) 
Cotton Swab (For applying) 

Pro Tip: In place of tea tree oil, you can use witch hazel which also contains antibacterial properties, but isn’t as powerful and you won’t need to dilute it.

Step 1: 

Pour calamine into bottle, about 1/3 of the way and leave to the side to settle. I just free poured but you could also use a dropper.

Step 2 + 3: 

 In the small bowl, combine your tree tea oil and water (this makes sure the tea tree oil isn’t too powerful). Your solution should be 2 parts tea tree oil, 1 part water. You’ll need enough to fill the rest of the bottle.

Step 4: 

 Once the calamine has settled, pour or use a dropper to add the oil-water solution to the calamine. I pulled a second grade move and used a straw to do the same job as a dropper. The liquids may mix, which is fine, let it settle for a few hours before using. It should separate in bottle.

DIY Body Wrap -lose up to 1 inch over night!

DIY body wrap supplies

Lotion (it’s best if it contains something from the ocean: seaweed, kelp, mud. I couldn’t find any, so I just used what I had on-hand.)
Clear plastic wrap
Bandage wrap

Step 1 

– Apply a thick layer of lotion to the area you want to target. {Don’t rub it in completely!} You can do it on your stomach, your thighs, your upper arms, wherever your “trouble spots” are.

Step 2 

– Wrap the ENTIRE area with your plastic wrap. I went all the way around my mid-section several times. Make it snug but not tight; you do have to wear it ALL night long.

Step 3 

– Now wrap the area with a long bandage of some kind, anything that will keep your wrap in place. Be sure to cover the plastic completely.

The idea behind this is to help your body release water that’s retained due to weather, food consumption; even Mother Nature’s visits. The combination of lotion and plastic helps sweat it out of you.

Mole Removal With Honey

You may have heard of people getting successful mole removal with honey and wondered if you could have some success with this method. I am sharing the steps you can follow to remove a mole in this way so you can give it a go and see for yourself how successful it is.

 

 

I can relate to anyone who has a mole they would like to get rid of because my fair skin was filled with them! Kids in school used to tease and for years I thought it was just something I had to live with.

You can remove a mole with honey and here are the steps to take:

• 1. Make sure the area surrounding the mole is clean, you want the area to be free of oils that naturally occur on the skin surface so take a washcloth with some soapy water and wipe the area clean.
• 2. Use normal table honey from the grocery store. The type of honey should not matter but note that you would like to be at room temperature, do not stick the bottle in the refrigerator or heat it as this may change the nature of the enzymes.
• 3. Apply a liberal amount of honey to the mole and then cover with a band-aid so the honey is held in place.
• 4. Reapply each day (I recommend reapplying twice a day) and place a new band-aid on each time.

You may need to reapply for days of longer depending on a variety of factors such as the moles initial size, whether it is raised or flat, whether there are layers of dark pigment below the skin, proper application, and so on.

 The reason honey is effective at getting rid of moles and skin blemishes is because of the enzymes found in honey. Even though honey has been used for hundreds of years as a home remedy for skin blemishes, it was not until recently that scientists fully understood the healing properties of honey. Honey helps the skin through these healing enzymes and it also contains nourishing vitamins and minerals as well as antibiotic properties.

There are other methods of mole removal such as surgery and laser treatments but there are things to consider with these methods, in particular the high cost and possibility of scarring. My personal opinion is to try a home remedy first as I find they are very inexpensive and typically have very few side effects. Note: you should have any mole evaluated for cancer first before applying a home remedy – don’t take a chance.

I hope you have found this information helpful. You can get successful mole removal with honey and there are other home remedies available as well that will allow you to fade your moles away.

The 2 minute teaspoon trick to help depuff eyes

Puffy eyes and a set of lacklustre star-gazers are the very bane of my existence at the moment. I’ve had that many late night events on in the past few weeks, that I’m almost certain people are starting to mistake me for Lindsay Lohan circa jail mug shot days.

But I recently picked up on a clever little beauty trick that’s supercharged my beauty routine impeccably, and it involves merely two items — teaspoons! Yup, two icy cold teaspoons are the quickest, cheapest and most natural way to remedy inflammation, boost circulation and make the overall eye area appear refreshed and well-rested. Read on to reveal all!

YOU’LL NEED

- 2 teaspoons that have been placed in the freezer overnight.

DIRECTIONS

1. Wash the spoons to make sure they’re not sticky.

2. Place the back of the spoons directly over closed eyes for 2 minutes.

2. Remove from lids and say hello to bright, depuffed blinkers.

That’s it. That’s the trick! You don’t need the latest de-puffing cream or roller thingy to soothe and replenish the eye area, simply two basic items from your kitchen drawer. How awesome is that?!

How to Shape Your Nails

Oval Nails
 
If you fancy a traditional nail shape, opt for the oval. This nail shape isn’t as strong as the square because the sides are filed down, but the oval nail shape gives wide nail beds a more feminine appearance. For this classic nail shape, file nails into an egg shape by holding the nail file at an angle. Oval nails are best for short fingers because it replicates the shape of the finger and gives a longer appearance.

Round Nails

 
This nail shape is for the more conservative lady. If you’re constantly working with your hands and need to keep a short nail, this is the best bet. The round nail shape is also a safe choice because it’s easy to maintain and complements longer fingers or larger hands. To achieve this shape, start as you would with a sqaure nail and then round the nail out at slight angle or follow the curve of your fnger.

Square Nails

 
The most popular nail shape is the square nail. While fashionably famous, it’s also the sturdiest nail shape because it spans the entire width of the nail bed. It won’t slice steel in two, but it won’t break as easily either. To achieve this shape, trim your nails to the desired length and file nails in one direction straight across the entire nail. To finish the look, file lightly around the edges to clean up any snags or roughness. This nail shape works best for long fingers with a wide nail bed.

Squoval Nails

 
The in-between nail shape: not quite a square nail, but not quite an oval nail. This is also a strong nail choice since the majority of the nail is as wide as the nail bed, similar to square nails. To get this nail shape, start as you would with an oval nail by filing the edges of your nail at an angle. Once you’ve gotten the oval shape, flatten the peak of the nail by filing as you would a square nail, straight across in one direction. This nail shape is flattering on any finger length.  

Almond Nails

 
For a lady-like nail, the almond shape is the way to go. To start this shaping process, mark a spot in the center of your nail and file toward that point. File the nail at an angle that is just off the center of the nail, leaving a flat tip to round out. After you have the angles on both sides, file the corners to smooth out the sharp angles and blend the nail into an almond shape. The almond nail shape elongates fingers and adds a feminine flare to shorter fingers.

Stiletto Nails

 This look is definitely for the more daring. The stiletto nail, also known as a pointed nail, has created quite the sensation among rock stars such as Rhianna and Adele. It’s also the nail shape choice for those looking for a long and slender look to their hands. To get this nail shape, alternate filing both sides to the center of the nail. If need be, you can mark the middle of the nail as a guideline. While the pointed nail may be a trend to try, it’s the weakest nail shape and is often seen done on acrylic or gel nails to avoid damaging natural nails.
