Lipstick Powder N Paint

We can thank the Hairspray movie for introducing this star hair product to a new generation. The number of people who rely on this fine mist for everyday wear is higher than you think.

It provides an essential function – finishing off any look with hold while making your do look natural.

Like mascara, finding the right brand for your hair is tricky. Those with poker straight hair need more hold than those with naturally textured locks. We have tested some of the best brands on the market to find out which ones work best.

Sleeping with makeup on is a major no no. It clogs your pores, creates a breeding ground for bacteria, eyelashes become dry and brittle, and skin doesn’t have a chance to repair itself while you snooze.

If you know that you get lazy after a long day at work or night on the town, try leaving a package of face wipes beside your bed. It is super easy to quickly cleanse your face before you fall asleep.

Razor burn, cuts and bumps are dirty words when it comes to smooth legs. To get the best results from shaving, you need a good combination of razor and technique.

It is best to shave your legs at the very end of your shower or bath. The heat and moisture will have had a chance to work their magic and make hair softer and easier to shave. Slather legs with a shaving cream or gel before you shave – this will allow your razor to glide over the area. Because shaving exfoliates the skin, you need to follow up with your favourite body cream, lotion or oil to prevent dryness.

Razors come in different shapes, sizes and with different numbers of blades and moisture strips. You need to find the right one for you. Just remember to change your blade every two weeks or so, depending on how often you want to be fuzz free. (more…)
