How To Apply False Eyelashes For Beginners (Simple, Easy and Quick)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 21 May 2018 13:46:00 +0000

The idea of a bright-eyed look before breakfast is something every woman is interested in, however the Glamazon part is not necessary because you want something that can blend with your everyday life. Well if you didn’t know this before, the lash extension can help you fulfill this, the best part is that you don’t even need to wear makeup if you like because the eyelash extension which has come a long way has come to stay (yes no makeup gals, you too can try this look).

While the lash is here to stay and it seems there are so many options, it’s actually tough to find the right combo that would give you that natural finish. It’s not just by fixing any lash you come across you have to realize that the state of your eyes have a lot to do with finding a flattering lash extension.

Get the scoop of the best eyelash extension for your eye shape in this guide book below…

If You Have Round Eyes – It means they are naturally open and alert what you are looking for would be shorter length lashes with looser curl (B CURL) as this would relax your eye shape and give it a total symmetry.

If You Have A Hooded Eyes – These are known as mono-lids and they don’t have a defined crease your ideal lash extension has to have a flat base and severe curl that shoots from under the lid (L and L+ lashes)

If You Have Almond Eyes – These are the most common shape and there twice as high as they are wide. This eyes can support almost any lash style although you can go for a cat-eye gradient to help elongate your natural shape.

What You’ll Need…

Tweezers or Beginners Tweezers

Lash Extensions

Liner

Lash Glue

Mascara

Now you know the best eyelash extension for your eye shape what should follow is you learning how to fix them yourself. Lash stripes are easy to fix, here’s a video tutorial of how to fix them yourself…

All The Best Moments Of The Royal Wedding of The Duke and Duchess Of Sussex

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 18 May 2018 14:21:00 +0000

Congratulations to newlyweds Harry and Meghan—or the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as they will be known from now on.

This morning Kensington Palace said that Queen Elizabeth II conferred a dukedom on Harry only hours before he was wed today. He also takes the titles of Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel.

The stunning bride wore Givenchy in front of an A-list crowd, while the new Duke wore a military uniform made of blue doeskin paired with a white buckskin belt.

And their reception attire was no less dashing. Meghan Markle showed off an elegant Stella McCartney halter-neck gown, while Prince Harry donned a smart suit.

George and Amal Clooney, Victoria and David Beckham, tennis star Serena Williams, and American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey watched on as the former Suits star, 36, tied the knot with Prince Harry, 33, the sixth-in-line to the British throne.

The Beckhams were seen chatting with Elton John as they waited for the ceremony to start, while two of Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriends, Cressida Bonas and Chelsea Davy were also there.

Ms Markle’s former co-stars from Suits joined the Queen, Prince Charles and Camilla, and the Duchess of Cambridge inside the chapel, where Prince William served as Harry’s best man.

Here are the best wedding moments captured by photographers below:

Fenty Beauty Body Lava – Hot Mess?!?!! Or Worth The Splurge?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 15 Apr 2018 14:44:00 +0000

Fenty Beauty Body Lava dropped over a week ago as part of their Beach, Please! summer collection. The two shimmering body luminizers, Who Needs Clothes?! (the rose-gold color) and Brown Sugar (the golden bronze shade) have been getting review online, some people love the product while some are a bit irk-y about it. Although we don’t know if the products are back on sale, we however decided a video review tutorial would be a good idea just in case you needed justification to splurge on the quite expensive product as they each go for $59.

Our favourite blogger when it comes to reviews – Jackie Aina has carried out what we trust her with. She reviewed the two products including the Fairybomb Glittering Pom Pom ($42) and Face & Body Kabuki Brush 160 ($34). The review was definitely true as you know Jackie is not one to mince words when it comes to giving makeup reviews; she says it as it is and that’s why we are sharing her video tutorial with you.

Hanes Launches Comfort Flex Fit Men’s Boxer Briefs In Clever Social Campaign

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 15 Apr 2018 14:25:00 +0000

American underwear brand Hanes is rallying guys across the country to #VouchForThePouch in support of Comfort Flex Fit boxer briefs – its largest underwear launch in four years.

As part of a new social campaign, the brand is joining forces with food and wine connoisseur Antoni Porowski, athlete and football analyst Victor Cruz, and host and producer Nev Schulman, to share why they are vouching for the support and comfort of the recently introduced premium men’s boxer briefs.

Two years in the making, Comfort Flex Fit boxer briefs were developed and designed to offer men the support of a brief with the freedom of a boxer – thanks to a pioneering U-shaped pouch design and soft, breathable fabrics. Combined with an improved waistband and no-ride up legs, these new features create superior comfort and fit to support men where they most need it.

“We want men to be as comfortable talking about their underwear preferences as they are wearing our new Hanes Comfort Flex Fit boxer briefs,” said Sidney Falken, chief branding officer for HanesBrands. “Teaming up with some of our most recognizable converts will begin the conversation. Once men try the product, we believe they will not only switch to Comfort Flex Fit boxer briefs but will also ‘vouch for the pouch’.”

Comfort Flex Fit boxer briefs are available in-store at Macy’s, JCPenney, Kohl’s, Target and Walmart and online at Hanes.com, Amazon and retailer websites.

Fendi Is Launching Its Double F Capsule Collection On Net-A-Porter

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 15 Apr 2018 13:53:00 +0000

Fashion loves nostalgia, exhibited most congruously by Fendi’s capsule collection, previewed here, and launching at Net-A-Porter later this spring.

The release celebrates the heritage of Fendi, bolstered by the FF logo Karl Lagerfeld created for the brand circa 1965. The “archival squared version” that took flight in 1974 is printed on an array of enticing pieces, from modern parkas to classic fold-over bags. With logo mania at an all-time high on the Fall 2018 runways and scores of supermodels, fashion stars, and influencers flocking to Fendi's iconic print, Lagerfeld’s revamp of the double F logo he launched decades ago fits right in with the latest of branding phenomena.

From Donatella Versace’s tribute to Gianni to Christopher Bailey’s re-adaptation of head-to-toe plaid for Burberry, designers have been resurrecting trademarks from the past to appeal to a new Gen Z demographic. Fendi's new collection be available on May 14, 2018 via net-a-porter.com.

Rihanna Shows Off New Fenty Body Glitter In A Brand-New Tutorial

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 28 Mar 2018 10:27:00 +0000

It's a known fact that anything Rihanna touches—socks, clothes, sunglasses, and of course, makeup—turns to gold. Now, she's using her magic to revive an old friend from your tweenage years: body glitter. Remember that sticky, colorful jelly shimmer we'd all slather on ourselves? It's coming back, this time with the Fenty Beauty seal of approval.

Rihanna teased the new products on her Instagram stories on March 26. "Say hello to the brand new #BodyLava," she wrote, "Mine are almost empty."

In her videos, one bottle was a pearl-peach shade and the other was more bronze-golden. She also showed the packaging, which described the Body Lava as a "body luminizer." This is notably the first time Fenty Beauty is officially venturing into the body category (although I know you've been dusting Trophy Wife all over since it first dropped in September).

#BODYLAVA 👀👀 APRIL 6th, get ready! #rihgram @badgalriri

A post shared by FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA (@fentybeauty) on Mar 26, 2018 at 2:21pm PDT

As if that news weren't exciting enough, Rihanna treated us all to a full tutorial using another new launch: a kabuki brush. She blended the pearl shade on her shoulders and the bronze shade on her collarbones. Rih also used my new favorite hashtag, #whoneedsclothes.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava, which we like to think of as "Rihanna in a bottle," drops April 6. Hopefully it will be warm enough by then. #whoneedsclothes indeed.

The first lady looked ready for spring in a $4,220 pink Emilio Pucci suit and a bright yellow top as she attended the 2018 International Women of Courage Award Ceremony at the State Department.

Melania not only looked happy to be at the event, she flashed a bright smile as she stepped on stage ahead of the ceremony.

She wore her highlighted brown hair in loose curls, and she paired her Easter Sunday-worthy outfit with a pair of nude pumps.

The first lady was introduced by State Department spokeswoman Heather Ann Nauert, and during her speech, she noted that courage is 'what sets apart the heroes from the rest.'

'Courage is the quality most needed in this world, yet it is often the hardest to find,' she said. 'Courage sets apart those who believe in higher calling and those who act on it. It takes courage not only to see wrong, but strive to right it.

'Courage is what sets apart the heroes from the rest. It is equal part bravery and nobility. The women of courage we honor here today are heroes,' she continued.

In addition to the awards ceremony, she received a special White House visit from two sisters. Natalie and her little sister Celia traveled from Clarksburg, Maryland, to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to bake cookies for the first lady.

Skin Care Tips For Black Women During This Hot Weather

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 24 Mar 2018 16:06:00 +0000

It’s official I have witnessed the hottest season here in Nigeria.There are few protective measure’s that we need to take now when it comes to our skin.One of the most common misconceptions around brown skin is that we can't get skin cancer because our melanin doubles as built-in SPF. We've said it many times and we'll say it again: this is completely false!

The importance of protecting the skin from the harsh rays of the sun cannot be over emphasized in short aside from all the other tips we are about to give out, you must make sure that you are well protected from harmful exposure – a sun hat and shade should be with you always. There is an importance of adjusting with the times and protecting your skin all year round, from the food you eat to the temperature of the water you bathe in and the type of cleansers you use here are a few bad habits that you need to rid yourself off this hot season;

Hot Showers

Even in the middle of a sticky and hot day, nothing feels better than the steam from a hot shower. Unfortunately, that simple pleasure is also a killjoy for healthy skin.

Taking a hot shower compromises the skin barrier as. Keep it lukewarm to avoid overly irritating or drying the skin. Also do not use soaps that tend to strip the skin of natural oil. Instead, consider using a non-soap cleanser

Over-Exfoliation

Speaking of showers, it's also imperative that you don't go overboard with exfoliation. We love a Clarisonic or loofah as much as the next person, but like soap, it can also lead to irritation and inflammation. Over exfoliating can lead to discoloration, especially in brown skin. I recommend using a gentle exfoliant once a week.

Eating High Glycemic Foods

No one wants to hear that some of the yummiest food are also the unhealthiest, but it's the cold, hard truth. As the season approaches, check in with your refrigerator to make sure that it's fill with foods.

If it is not good for the heart, it is not good for the skin, and also Diets high in glycemic index (breads, pastas, sweets, etc.) increase cortisol levels in the blood. In turn, this creates an environment whereby the skin is more likely to be inflamed. Remember: eat everything in moderation! Diets in high glycerin shouldn’t be taken much of instead, store food that would kick your glow into high gear instead.

Incorrect Use of Anti-Aging Products

One of the most common skin care issues among women of color is uneven complexion or discoloration. These can result from pre-existing conditions such as acne or eczema. On the other hand, nasty habits, like picking at pimples, will also leave you with dark spots. Get into the habit of letting blemishes heal on their own time and be more cognizant of the anti-aging products you're using. Retin-a treatments, which are vitamin a derivatives that help increase collagen production and decrease collagen breakdown, can be particularly irritating for Black skin.

This makes acne go away and wrinkles, too. You can get them over the counter or by prescription. There is no one size fits all here - they come in creams, gels , lotions, serums and different strengths. Always consult with your dermatologist so you can identify which is best for you, if any. For oily skin, one may want a gel. For dry skin, a cream may be more effective. There are definitive nuances and if used the wrong way, irritation and discoloration can result."

What 7 Sleep Experts Do When They Can’t Fall Asleep

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 20 Mar 2018 19:28:00 +0000

Even if you diligently avoid caffeine late in the day and you quit scrolling through Instagram an hour before bed, there may come the occasional night when it’s just impossible to fall asleep.

After you’ve tossed and turned, adjusted and readjusted your pillow, checked the clock again and sufficiently groaned about your lack of sleep, what are you supposed to do that’s actually going to help solve the issue?

“To answer this, we first need to reconsider what ‘can’t fall asleep’ means,” says Rubin Naiman, sleep and dream psychologist and clinical assistant professor of medicine at Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. “In our high-velocity world, many people believe that good sleepers fall asleep in a flash. This attitude can trigger anxiety when sleep onset isn’t rapid, further delaying falling asleep.”

It’s “perfectly normal” to lie in bed for 10 or 20 minutes before you drift off, Naiman continues. “Regularly falling asleep in a moment or two is not a sign of being a good sleeper. In fact, it may be a symptom of excessive sleepiness and an underlying sleep disorder.”

With that perspective in mind, we asked sleep experts themselves: What do you do when you can’t sleep? Here’s what we learned.

Don’t freak out

“When I have trouble falling asleep, it’s usually because I have something on my mind about work or my kids. Most importantly, I avoid getting upset about being awake—usually what’s on my mind is important. One advantage of being a ‘sleep expert’ is that I know I will eventually get sleepy enough to fall asleep, so I don’t get too worked up about being awake at night on occasion.”

—Jennifer L. Martin, associate professor of medicine at UCLA

“It is rare for me to struggle to fall asleep, but when I do, I’ve grown to love it. What’s not to love? I’m in a really comfortable place, it’s quiet, nobody is texting or calling me, no arguing children, no list of home repairs to deal with, just relaxing in the dark with my thoughts. If sleep seems to be a little elusive, I use the time to figure out fun places to go on vacation or plan something to do for my wife’s birthday. In short, when it comes to not being able to fall asleep, despite my profession, I honestly don’t give a damn, and that is precisely why I never have an issue sleeping. People fear not sleeping, but it’s really an irrational fear, since everyone sleeps.”

—Dr. W. Chris Winter, president of Charlottesville Neurology and Sleep Medicine and author of The Sleep Solution

Distract yourself with relaxing thoughts

“I rarely have trouble falling asleep. However, on occasion, particularly if I have something on my mind, I will get into bed and not fall asleep because my mind is in overdrive. Once I recognize this, I will start by trying to distract myself with relaxing thoughts and images—a favorite vacation with my family is a good one!”

—Dr. Ilene M. Rosen, president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and program director of the University of Pennsylvania Sleep Fellowship

“I think of my favorite things to dream of. I like to imagine I am on the beach, in a hammock, with my kids playing close by in the sand. I can feel the sun’s warmth on my skin, I can hear the ocean waves. I can smell the saltiness of the sea. I frequently dream of being on the beach!”

—Dr. Shalini Paruthi, co-director of the Sleep Medicine and Research Center at St. Luke’s Hospital and an adjunct associate professor in pediatrics at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine

Try breathing exercises

“If there are nights where I have difficulty falling asleep, I will do a very simple relaxation technique called diaphragmatic breathing. Diaphragmatic breathing can be used when the brain is going a mile a minute and you feel distracted from falling asleep. I typically do this lying down. I breathe in slowly and deeply counting 1, 2, 3, 4, and then exhale slowly counting 5, 6, 7, 8. With practice, this can help you relax and prevent the pesky racing thoughts from interfering with your sleep.”

—Mark Muehlbach, staff clinician and director at the Clayton Sleep Institute Clinics and Insomnia Center and co-director of the CSI Research Center

“[I practice] meditation, relaxation, and deep-breathing exercises, like 4-7-8 breathing. [Inhale through your nose for a mental count of four; hold for a count of seven; then exhale through your mouth for a count of eight.] Or I make a gratitude list. There is data to show that positive thinking before bed can not only help you fall asleep quicker, it makes for more positive dreams!”

—Michael J. Breus, sleep specialist and clinical psychologist

Treat the underlying issue

“If I can’t fall asleep and it’s been more than 30 minutes or so, then I get up and figure out what is the problem. Is it my restless legs syndrome acting up? If so, I will put a blanket and pair of fluffy, loose, fleecy socks in the clothes dryer for five to 10 minutes to help me warm up so I can calm my legs and feet down.”

—Dr. Shalini Paruthi

Get out of bed

“The best practice involves going to bed only when one is feeling sleepy and getting out of bed if sleep doesn’t arrive in more than 30 minutes. Spending stretches of time in bed while struggling to sleep negatively conditions the bed for sleeplessness, which can cause future conditioned insomnia.”

—Rubin Naiman

“If I notice that I have been in bed for 20 minutes or so and nothing is working, I will get out of bed and go to another room. I usually turn on a small lamp and read a magazine. I do not watch television and try very hard not to check my phone. If I have a lot on my mind, I may write down some thoughts to help me know I will revisit them in the morning so I can clear my mind. Once I feel tired again, I will go back to my bedroom and try to sleep.”

—Dr. Ilene M. Rosen

“I may do something boring, non-screen, like fold a basket of laundry that is waiting to be folded. I have also picked up a paper book to read quietly in another room so as not to bother my husband until I am sleepy.”

—Dr. Shalini Paruthi

“I go into the family room and read a book or a magazine on the sofa. I go back to bed when I get sleepy. I don’t like watching TV or moving around too much during the night because I don’t want to wake up my family. As time passes, I do get sleepy, and the reading distracts me from what was bothering me in bed. Once I go back to bed, I fall asleep pretty quickly.”

—Jennifer L. Martin

Try an app (on night mode)

“I sometimes do pull out my phone (with the night shift function on to block out blue wavelength of light) to run the app Stop, Breathe & Think. This mindfulness meditation app includes short three- to nine-minute guided meditation, relaxation, and breathing programs.”

—Dr. Shalini Paruthi

Jaden Smith Partners With G-Star Raw On Sustainable Denim Collection

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 20 Mar 2018 19:12:00 +0000

"These guys are at the forefront of denim manufacturing, and are creating and designing denim with a circular economy and sustainability in mind," Smith said.

Following on the heels of its "Most Sustainable Denim Ever" release, G-Star Raw is preparing to launch more sustainable denim for Fall 2018, this time in partnership with Jaden Smith. The multi-hyphenate teen says he first became interested in the brand because of Pharrell's involvement with it.

"I was first brought into G-Star by Pharrell, someone who I respect and admire," Smith said in a statement. "What they have been doing with sustainable innovation recently has been so inspiring... It's the same thing I've been trying to do with my JUST Water initiative, to innovate in an industry where there is so much room for improvement. G-Star is a great place for me to collaborate, learn and make a positive impact on denim and fashion."

Smith is, of course, no stranger to the world of fashion. At 19, he's already appeared in ad campaigns for Louis Vuitton, made waves on the Met Gala red carpet, been the lead voice actor in the stylish anime-inspired cartoon "Neo Yokio" and been a cover star for magazines like Vogue Italia and Interview. And having co-founded JUST Water, an eco-friendly water bottle company, with his dad Will Smith, Jaden already knows a thing or two about environmental issues. It seems fitting, then, that Smith would get involved with G-Star, which has been pushing the boundaries of sustainability in denim for years.

"These guys are at the forefront of denim manufacturing, in the world, and are creating and designing denim with a circular economy and sustainability in mind," Smith said via email. "That's why I'm really proud of the collection we're working on together."

We know it will be a denim collection set to launch this fall, but beyond that there's no word yet on what exactly to expect from the collaboration, though both parties seem understandably excited.

"Jaden is a creator, an artist and an inspiration for the next generation who want to have a positive impact on the world around them," G-Star CMO Thecla Schaeffer said in a statement. "He inspires us to keep challenging the conventions of sustainable innovation in the denim industry and we are honored to have him as a part of the G-Star Family."

Mr Porter To Launch Cartier Watches Next Month

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 19 Mar 2018 12:47:00 +0000

Menswear online retailer Mr Porter is partnering with luxury Maison Cartier to launch a curated selection of seven timepieces across the brand’s Santos de Cartier timepiece collection, including one exclusive strap only available at Mr Porter, beginning Thursday, April 5.

The Santos de Cartier watch – a modern re-interpretation of Cartier’s iconic wristwatch originally designed in 1904 by visionaries and friends, Messrs Louis Cartier and Alberto Santos Dumont, will be available on Mr Porter in pink gold, yellow gold and stainless steel, and stainless-steel variations.

Launching initially with the new Santos de Cartier collection, both companies will work closely together to present additional Cartier watch families later in the year.

This partnership follows on from Cartier’s Panthère de Cartier fine jewelry collection, which was pre-launched on Net-A-Porter alongside select Cartier boutiques in 2017.

“We are thrilled to be launching with Cartier, a true reference within the world of luxury,” said Toby Bateman, managing director at Mr Porter. “The new Santos de Cartier watch is an authentic and contemporary re-working of a classic. This is an excellent opportunity to provide our global Mr Porter customer with an iconic brand that we know they have been waiting for, and we look forward to launching further Cartier collections later in 2018.”

Customers can sign up and register interest for Cartier here, ahead of the global launch at 7am GMT on Thursday, April 5.
