It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product

It's Truly a Miracle!

My hair is very thin, so as you can imagine it breaks easily. I was constantly on the hunt for products that would repair and protect my hair. After countless shampoos, conditioners, and treatments that all promised a lot, but did not deliver, I became very skeptical. When I went to the salon for a haircut, the stylist noticed the damage on my hair and recommended I try It's A 10 Miracle Leave-In Treatment. He had nothing but great things to say about it, so I decided to buy it.

Boy, am I glad I did! This is truly a great product. The small bottle lasted me around six months, after which I decided to order the big bottle from Amazon.

The Miracle: Does 10 Things Instantly

Repairs dry, damaged hair: Although it is hard to repair hair that is already damaged, it definitely makes the hair healthier.
Adds shine: It certainly does.
Detangles: One of the things that impresses me the most about this product. My hair used to break a lot in the process of detangling it, but thanks to this product the comb passes smoothly through he hair.
Controls frizz: Because it conditions your hair so well, it does control frizz very nicely.
Seals & protects hair color: I cannot be the judge of this claim because I do not color my hair.
Prevents split ends: I feel like it had reduced the appearance of my split ends.
Stops hair breakage: Yes! My hair breaks less since I started using this.
Creates silkiness: Totally agree.
Enhances natural body: It helps to create a bouncy and smooth feel to the hair.
Flat iron spray & thermal protector: The reason I use the most for. I flat iron my hair all the time, and had used numerous products for protection. Nothing had work as well as this product. It helps seal in moisture, and allows me to achieve a great look.

It is a cream-like product, and does not feel greasy at all. I spray it a couple of times in my hand, and then run it through my hair. Very little goes a long way!

Milk of Magnesia: Oily Skin Solution

2011-01-15T12:36:00.000-08:00

Do you struggle to control the excess oil on your skin on a daily basis? Well look no further because I have the solution for you! Get ready to put away the blotting sheets and the expensive products, because all you need is to pick up a bottle of Milk of Magnesia.

Yes, I am talking about the same product that doctors have been prescribing for years to alleviate intestinal issues. Most of you probably even have a bottle at home already. If not, pick up the liquid form of this product to start fighting your oil glands.

Follow These Easy Steps For Best Results

Start your routine by washing your face to remove dirt, and dead skin cells. Cleanse your skin (gentle cleanser for oily skin) and pat dry with a towel.
Follow with an oil-free moisturizer to avoid overdrawing the skin.
Now using a cotton ball, apply a thin layer of the Milk of Magnesia to your face. A little goes a long way, so you don't want to apply too much. This is a great primer for oil-prone people, because it controls the oil allowing your makeup to stay fresh for hours.
Finally finish by putting on your makeup, I recommend a loose powder or an oil-free foundation for best result.

Side Effects

This is meant for people with really oily skin! If you have normal skin it might cause some dryness. I always recommend for people to use the Milk of Magnesia in combination with a good moisturizer.

Beautiful Hair, Skin, and Nails

Is your hair thin, damaged, or constantly falling off?
Are your nails brittle, and constantly breaking?
Can your skin be better?

I think most of us can answer yes to at least one of these questions. I for one have naturally thin hair, which also grows very slowly. Last summer I cut my hair into a short bob, but after a couple of months I could not wait to have it long again. A friend recommended I try GNC Women's Hair, Skin & Nails Formula.

Pros

Effective

Easy to Use

Easy to Swallow

Good Value

These are great multi-vitamin hair supplements, that will not only improve your hair, but will also help strengthen nails and clear skin. The key ingredient in Biotin, which stimulates hair growth. I take them twice a day with food, as directed. I have been using them for over two months and have seen great results. My hair has not only grown, but it also feels stronger and softer. I would recommend these to everyone! For less than $20, there is no reason not to try them.

Mascara
Brushes

Difficulty: Easy

Time: 10 minutes

Step-By-Step Guide:

Prep the lid: Start the look with an eyeshadow primer. Simply apply a light coat of primer across the eye using your fingers. Let it dry before continuing to the next step.
Define the Eyes: Line the eyes. This step can be completed using either a pencil or liquid eyeliner. Choose a color that goes well with the shades you are applying.
Contour and Highlight: Apply a light eyeshadow color to the brow bone and inner eye corner to highlight the brow and eye.
Base Shade: Using an eyeshadow brush, blend a mid-toned eyeshadow color onto the eyelid from the lash line to the crease. Blend edges.
Contour Shade: Apply a deeper eyeshadow color to the outer 1/3 of the eyelid in the crease blending as you go and building the color gradually. Apply eyeshadow over the eyeliner. This helps to set it and holds the liner in place for longer.
Dramatic: Re-line the lash line with the eyeliner for a more defined and dramatic look if desired.
Lash Blast: Finish off the look by applying a few coats of mascara, making them look thick and dark.
