Makeup Tip!

Hey guys! Want to contour your face but don't have the monies to buy the powder for it? Use an eyeshadow that it two shades darker than your skin tone (nyx eyeshadow single $4 on amazon.com) and use it in the hollows if your cheeks and along the jaw line. Bring it up towards the hairline as well, for added drama and dimension use a blending brush to contour your nose on the outer parts of the bridge for a sculpted look! Get that structured model look with this fun and cheap tip! (Nicki contours her face for a more defined look)

Weave Tip!

Do you want your tracks to stop shedding???? Seal your wefts with Fray Check (amazon.com $4)! Your gonna have to lay your tracks out flat on counter or flat surface, then you squeeze just a bit of this solution along the WEFT not the hair, let it dry for 15 min and flip and do the same to the other side! This will save you money and lessen the amount of times you have to get some new hair!

Easy Home Remedies for Smoother Lips

Keeping your lips super soft is as easy as breathing. The easiest way to ensure your lips stay soft is to drink lots and lots of water. It's free and water helps your lips and skin stay soft. There are some home remedies you can also try to keep the ChappedLip Monster at bay.

1) Using a toothbrush and a little Vaseline, gently scrub your lips for about 30 seconds until all the dead skin has been removed. Then apply your lipliner and lipstick as usual.

OR

2) You can make your own lip exfoliator. Start by combining: 1-tsp olive oil, 1-tsp honey and 2-tsp granulated sugar into a small bowl until your paste is completely mixed. Next, rub your paste on your lips for about 30 seconds to a minute. Rinse your lips with warm water, pat dry, and add your favorite lip balm (Vaseline does the trick too.)

If you'd rather buy a lip scrub, Mary Kay has a product called "Satin Lips." It is a scrub and balm set that cost $18. You can purchase it from their website (www.marykay.com) or from your local Mary Kay saleswoman.

Be sure to exfoliate your lips weekly to keep your lips kissable :-*

Beauty Tip of the Week

I’m not the biggest fan of tweezing my eyebrows, I rather get them waxed or threaded. That way if it hurts I can blame someone else. It’s no fun being mad at yourself!! But if you’re a tweezer kind of girl (or guy =]) here’s a tip. Tweeze your brows after you get out the shower. The steam from your shower makes your eyebrows softer and loosens up the hair follicles. Making it easier and less painful to remove the bushiness. You can purchase a pair of quality tweezers from Bath and Body Works ($6) or Walgreens ($4-$10)

Boyfriend Advice!

Hey ladies this can be the most cost effective advice i can give yall! I know your boyfriend will get on your nerves and there will be times when yall argue! But when that happens sit back and evaluate the situation, and if you are wrong i know its hard to admit is but.......say sorry! lol And if he is wrong, giiiiirrrrrrl lol he needs to apologize too. Talk it out and see what resolutions come out of it! Sometimes, things may not work out as you planned, but most times it does, just need to work on solutions and not pointing the fingers! May seem like an easy thing to do, but in all honesty it doesn't fix anything. Being optimistic but realistic is how i get through stuff. I try not to focus on the negative. Also if something happened in the past , keep it there! i know i am super guilty of this, but if you gotten through it there isn't much use of bringing it up again. One last thing NO ONE is perfect! Humans make mistakes sometimes, its how you evaluate and resolve the situation that makes the difference!  Remember EVALUATE and RESOLVE :)




I love their relationship btw :)
