3 Quick Beauty Fixes

30 Sep

Share

1) Self Tanner Gone Wrong~

Ok girls…so you decided to carry that fabulous bronzed look into Fall by using your favorite Self Tanner, but woke up looking like a tan zebra- lots of stripes and patchy areas.  Don’t fret, no need to hide in the closet a week till it wears off.  Fix a self tanner mishap with LEMONS!

  • Massage skin with a clean washcloth soaked in pure lemon juice.  You can also cut a fresh lemon in half and massage over the streaked areas.  The Citric Acid from the lemon is a natural skin lightener and will help to lighten the uneven areas.  Add a spoonful of sugar as you massage the skin, and the sugar will help exfoliate the area, making the streaks less noticeable.

TIP:  Next time you apply Self Tanner, try our favorite by California North, and mix with equal parts of moisturizer before applying to your knees, elbows and ankles.  The moisturizer will help dilute the tanner for these areas that grab color much quicker!

2) Decided to Wax those Brows Hours Before a Big Event- now You’re Red & Puffy~ 

Never a good idea to wax the same day as a big event, Wedding, Prom, etc BUT, if you did, and now you are left with red puffy brows or upper lip, have no fear.  Fix red puffiness with CORTISONE & VISINE!

  • Keep an over-the-counter 1% Hydrocortisone cream on hand for minor mishaps.  Massage a thin layer into the red, puffy area.  Hydrocortisone will reduce inflammation and reduce any itchiness that might flare up.   Allow it to soak in for at least 30 minutes before disrupting the area with makeup.
  • IF the area is still red, apply a drop of Visine to the skin [an old Hollywood trick].  As the makers say ‘It takes the Red Out’.  It’s a quick fix!  Then apply your makeup as usual.

3) Too Much Champagne Last Night,  Puffy Eyes This Morning!       

An evening of alcohol and appetizers might spell a fun evening, but the next morning can be a nightmare! Increased sodium and alcohol will leave most people with puffy eyes the next morning.  So grab some chamomile tea for a quick fix!

  • Steep 2 Chamomile Tea bags for a minute to release the tea,  then cool them.  Lie down and apply the cool tea bags to your eyes.  Close your eyes and relax for 10 minutes to allow the eye area to soak in the chamomile.  Chamomile has natural anti-inflammatory properties and will significantly reduce puffiness.  Follow with your favorite eye cream to soften and soothe the area.

TIP:  Keep your eye cream in the fridge and apply cold, which will also help with the puffy under eye area.  And drink LOTS of water when indulging in a night of alcohol and salty appetizers.  For every drink you have, follow it with a full glass of water.  This will help cut down the ‘morning after’ puffiness!

Stay Gorgeous Girls!

Kate Winslet turned heads in this stunning dress by designer Stella McCartney.  Had Kate lost 20 pounds?  Had she spent months working out with a trainer?  What was her secret?  Believe it or not- it was THE DRESS!  Known to make any woman appear 2 sizes smaller, this cotton stretch, body hugging sheath style dress is turning heads, and on the Wishlist of many A-listers!   And it can be yours too, for only $1,600.   WOWZA….

OR you can do what I would do….make sure that your hair and makeup are so dazzling that no one will notice what you’re wearing cause they won’t be able to take their eyes off your face.    Kate could have been wearing anything here, as she was looking stunning- Uh, I’m talkin about her face here folks!   Simple, classic makeup, and LOVED her “Do”!

You will never fail with classic makeup, not too much, not too little and a sleek stylish Chignon.  When in doubt it is ALWAYS a winner.  A nice loose sweep of bangs fell off to one side, framing her face and adding just the right touch.  The ever-stylish Kate worked that red carpet.

Stay Gorgeous Girls~

Goldie Hawn launches 10 Mindful Minutes

28 Sep

Share
Goldie Hawn stops by ABC’s Good Morning America to promote her new book
’10 Mindful Minutes’

Goldie Hawn leaving the Set of Good Morning America

Kudos to actress Goldie Hawn for taking a hiatus from acting to do something she “loves” and has found purpose in.  Forming The Hawn Foundation, she is on a crusade to make our kids happier.   Her mission statement “Our mission is to help young minds by nurturing  resilience, hope, and
optimism.”  After years of scientific research her foundation launched MindUP™ ,  a family of social, emotional, and attentional  self-regulatory strategies and skills developed for cultivating well-being and  emotional balance.  In a nutshell….take a deep breath, BREATHE, relax your mind and open yourself to a more peaceful way of being.

Boy, if we were all taught these skills as children, we might not have as many cases of road rage and typical ’flying off the handle’ by so many.  So- the question is…is it too late for the rest of us?  Don’t give up on yourselves yet girls- her techniques can help us all, and you can read all about them in her new book ’10 Mindful Minutes’ 

10 Mindful Minutes by Goldie Hawn

So as I was watching her on Good Morning America I could only think…gee I hope I look half as good as she does at 66.  Yes, you read that right…she is 66!  WOWZA!  She looks absolutely fabulous!  So if she has lived her life making sure to take 10 Mindful minutes a day, SIGN ME UP!

I am a firm believer that the old cliché is so true….Beauty is only skin deep!   So my Beauty tip for today is to make sure you are pampering the INSIDE before you pamper the outside.  Take 10 minutes for yourself each day.  Go to a quiet space, close your eyes, slow your breathing, and open your mind.  These simple daily techniques will open your mind, body and spirit to a more beautiful day!

Stay Gorgeous Girls!

Beauty 101- Quick tip of the Day!

25 Sep

Share

It’s always helpful to learn from your mistakes, because then your mistakes seem worthwhile.

-Garry Marshall

Nothing worse than completing your makeup for a special occasion then messing it all up with a smear of mascara!  Have no fear- mascara mishaps are easy to fix….but skip the MAKEUP REMOVER!  The biggest mistake most girls make is turning to a dab of remover on a q-tip!  Instead grab your favorite eye cream…….just a dot on the tip of your q-tip will dissolve any mistake you make, without removing more than you want.

The trouble with removers is that they often smear farther than that tiny spec you are trying to remove.  Then the troubled spot continues to grow, and not only is the spec gone but so is your concealer, foundation and anything else that was in its path.  So next time you have a little makeup snaffooooo….reach for the eye cream!

PRO TIP:

  • When creating a dark smoky eye, apply eye makeup BEFORE concealer and foundation.  This will allow you to wipe away any dark shadow that might fall under your eyes BEFORE applying your under-eye makeup.   It’s a great technique that not only saves time, but also product!

Stay Gorgeous Girls!
