Make up Don't Break Up

November 29th 2008 18:25
Make up or War paint
There is a lot of different beliefs regarding make-up, in my opinion less is more. When your are young mother nature has given you a beautiful wrinkle free complexion so why hide under layers of oil or water based artificial pigment. Let you natural beauty shine through remember make-up is only to improve on what was given to you at birth. I have been a fully qualified cosmetologist for about 15 years now and I have advised this to my younger clients. Teenagers through lack of confidence pile it on thinking that they will hide all their imperfections when really they had just highlighted them, you see that is what make-up is a highlighter it draws attention to the good bits. A young girl starting out a bit of lip gloss and some mascara that’s all you need. At night in your room maybe with friends practice eye shadow and blush, make sure it is a friend who will tell you the truth. I used to have make-up parties when my friends were sleeping over we had great fun, trying to improve each other or just making a monster out of each other. Give it a try girls you need to hide nothing so this is your time to shine.

Getting older it happens to us all, I am in my 30’s and noticing some new lines that were not there before. Don’t think you can fill them with make-up it does not work remember in my previous paragraph you will just highlight them. His is when you take the focus off them, pay attention to your eyes but not too heavy just define them more with eyeliner and the brow bone should be a light shade. Define your lips more with lip pencil it also stops colour bleeding. Your blush should be minimal just highlighted. When your eyebrows are perfectly tweezed, your eye shadow is applied well along with definition created with the eye pencil, your cheeks hollow highlighted with a light blush maybe some highlighter at the top of the cheek and the most perfectly defined kissable lips ever you will be giving the stars a run for their money.

Getting on a bit believe it or not you use less make-up. My most important tip is lighter shade off lipsticks is the way to go because darker shades make you look older, try it you will see for yourself. Do not fall into the trap of too much powder I call them scone ladies, you should use a base near to your skin colour, lightly defined eyes and definitely lip liner because of colour bleeding. If you follow these steps you can embrace getting older because that brings its own beauty, the kind that shines from the inside.

Hair Today Not Gone Tomorrow

November 29th 2008 18:22
Hair
It does more than keep your head warm.
Hair can show a quiet, confident, trendy etc. Person. The colours you can get nowadays are exceptional, but also remember get advice because skin tone and lifestyle plays a big part, instead of complimenting you it can go horribly wrong. Each person is a individual and therefore will suit different things. Have a good look at yourself in the mirror, notice your colour of hair especially base tones ( (the actual colour black, brown. Red, blonde) then notice the natural highlights (best seen in daylight) Hair is made from the 4 basic pigments Black, brown, red, blonde whatever pigment you have most of is your all over colour. Highlights you will notice more at the front, hair is always that bit lighter at the front because of the elements. Now that you have got that sorted out what colour should you go for.
A major change blonde – black this be a disaster if not done right. You have to use red pigment to avoid it turning green “not pretty” and the same vice versa.
Any colour can be achieved if you have got the confidence to try it and a change is as good as a holiday so go for it. Some people you have to strip the colour out of the hair completely in order to get the desired result.
Hair come under the fast growing cell category, it does not stop keeps on going as long as you do that is how when receiving chemotherapy it falls out. Chemotherapy targets fast growing cells like cancer in order to stop them and unfortunately stop the hair cells too but still a small price to pay because it usually grows back in.

Hairdreessing, Beauty & Therapy

In other words I am a Cosmetologist.

Cosmetology explained
You have you hairdresser some which are very good and unfortunately some who are very bad. Qualified hairdressers cut, perm, colour, style and are basically your confidante. Beauticians on the other hand manicure, pedicure, give facials, wax and again are your confidante.
Cosmetology incorporates the 2 but cosmetologists have to know anatomy, contra indications of certain treatments, We can do various massages and I have also been blessed with healing capabilities, the chemical reactions that happens during procedures etc and of course your confidante but anything you tell a cosmetologist is sacred we have signed the official secrets act so you will always be secure in the knowledge whatever you say will not go any further.
We are not doctors and cannot help you with medical procedures. We can advise you best course of action if it includes anything that we can do for you. It is only advice though always back it up with your doctor.
Cosmetologists want the best for you we will not sell you any lotions or potions because the human race is so diverse you are already using the right cream etc. The stuff we use can only be used by trained professionals.
We can advise on skin conditions, hair conditions, skin and hair procedures, make-up and maintenance to name but a few. You can be secure in the knowledge that you are in good hands we want the best for you and you alone. Cosmetologist’s love the human form and are always amazed at the way it can heal it’s self. You will always have a good friend someone you can talk to, confide in and lean on.

Oscar-winner Halle Berry has joined the ranks of Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwen Stefani, becoming the latest celebrity to sign with cosmetic giant Coty for a new fragrance. Berry was chosen for her ‘iconic beauty’ and her touch of mystery. Her new fragrance will hit stores sometime in 2009.
Halle Berry


It seems every three months, we get news that another celebrity has come out with their new perfume. But which other celebrity do you think should jump on the fragrance bandwagon and which one, if they come out with their own fragrance, would you buy? As for me, I’m putting my hand up for George Clooney which I am still scratching my head about. I am not fond of Clooney’s movies, his acting ability and I don’t even think he has remarkable physical features (but then I’m in that dismal 1% who think Brad Pitt’s looks are overrated) but I would willingly buy his perfume for my hubby. Why? Maybe because he’s charismatic and reminds me of the likes of Rock Hudson, Cary Grant and Clark Gable. For myself, I’d probably buy a fragrance endorsed by Angelina Jolie – simply because it will, no doubt, smell weird.

Jennifer Lopez Glow
5. Glow by Jennifer Lopez
Fresh, Sexy, Fun - Glow was born in 2002 when Jennifer Lopez apparently walked out of her shower, pointed to her own bathrobe and said, “This. I want it (the perfume) to smell like this”. The scent features a blend of orange blossom, soft musk, pink grapefruit and vanilla and has been said to smell like refreshing floral soap that doesn’t overwhelm. In its first year, it raked in over US$100 million in sales and despite releasing six other scents since then, including Glow ‘spin-offs’, the original Glow remains a top-seller with sales of US$47.1 million at the end of 2006.

The Essence of Kate

August 20th 2007 02:50
When I first saw fuzzy pictures of Kate Moss snorting cocaine, I thought Aha! Another supermodel whose career will go straight down the toilet. Then I realised what era I’m living in when Paris Hilton walking demurely in front of flashing cameras after her stint in jail or Britney in her lack of panties are considered hard-hitting news. Now I seem to see her (Kate, not Britney, pantyless or otherwise) everywhere – on TV, billboards, video clips, magazines, websites and at one point, even at a London display. Nowadays, when people talk about Kate, it’s like they’re gossiping about their glamorous next-door neighbour.

Roll On Perfume - Aveda Dune

Aveda - Dune Primrose Aroma Concentrate Parfum


This tiny bottle of goodness cannot be fully appreciated until you are trapped in a small confined public space, and somebody releases a lethal dose of digestive gas and having the fart python creep slowly and silently into the deepest cavities of your nostrils.

Dolly Girl by Anna Sui

July 18th 2006 03:05
Insert Title Here


Dolly Girl by Anna Sui is fresh, young, immature, and innocent without the burden of depth, and without the sickening sweet flavours that Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson launches to the younger market. It was my own pre-adulthood favourite. So when I saw piles and piles of it stacked up and untouched in the Myer bargain bin during its stocktake sale, I was aghast and saddened that my childhood sweetie has been neglected by the masses.

Estee Lauder Youth Dew Amber Nude - from esteelauder.com


Seeing the image of this homely bottle, I forget the reason I even sampled this fragrace. The potent nausea that had hit me initally still remains in my handbag, fusing into the leather, refusing to evaporate. In a vain attempt, I have transferred everything from my first bag to another, the smell still lingers on my index finger from prodding the sample during the process.

The newest fragrance by Burberry has me eyeing it suggestively everytime I see it. The only reason I have not purchased this little pretty is because I've long ago decided to settle for only one signature fragrance (nothing has topped Dior's Pure Poison for me so far). Friends of mine who wear this have had me sniffing at them every time they come near; I have been reduced to a dribbling hound by this beautiful number.

Scents of Celebrity

May 9th 2006 02:42
It doesn't take the keenest observers to notice that celebrity fragrances have hit our shelves with a bang. Everyone from Britney Spears to Donald Trump have released their own signature scent. The enormous success of these fragrances (Britney Spears' "Curious" was the most profitable Launch in New Zealand) display a huge market for these fragrances. Some will only approve to young adults, but others are actually quite decent.
Here are a few...
