lancome magnifique bottle white background copy 89x150 Forget Me Not how to leave a scented memoryWe’ve lost the art of wearing perfume and with it the gift of seducing the world. For your scent to leave a beautiful trail that reminds people of your presence, you must use a parfum, the most concentrated form of scent. A low-concentration eau de toilette (EDT) will all but disappear in four hours; they were originally only meant to make you feel fresh.

A woman should make a ritual of applying scent. Mist a little eau de parfum ( the concentration between parfum and EDT) all over the body. Then dab parfum on the inside of the wrists and elbows, the dip of the collarbone, below the ear lobes, on the ankles and behind the knees. To really make the fragrance last, follow with your perfume’s scented body cream. Continue reading ‘Forget Me Not – how to leave a scented memory’

Candy Gloss lips

img 3116 copy 118x150 Candy Gloss lipsRub a bright pink lipstick into the lips. Really get it in there to give it staying powder. Next, apply a juicy orange or coral lipgloss liberally to the centre of the lips and follow with a clear lipgloss brushed over the rest of the mouth. This way, the colors won’t bleed into each other and you’ll get a brilliant two-tone viny! effect.

I recommend keeping your eye  makeup simple. A shimmery wash of color and mascara is plenty.

Beautiful skin at 0 degrees

winter skin face 270x360 112x150 Beautiful skin at 0 degreesWinter is an aggressive season for our body, but also for our skin. Most major problems appear on those who have dry or sensitive skin which dehydrates in artificial warming interiors, and outside suffers from redness and smarting. But not even the oily or normal skin is less safe from the aggression of low temperatures.

To keep your skin beauty during winter, first of all, take care of hydration. A hydrated skin produces natural oils needed for protection against aggressive medium factors. Besides hydrating creams that nourish the skin you must think also of installing in your home an air moisturizer. In this way you will be avoiding the drying of the skin due to dry air by artificial warming.

Hot baths that we love so much in winter also drys the skin, and the soaps accentuates this effect. This is why, after shower don’t forget about body lotion and hydration creams. Insist especially on the dry arreas: elbows, knees, heels and take extra care of your face and neck. Continue reading ‘Beautiful skin at 0 degrees’

889 hair style 112x150 Dry and dull hair? Try a hydration treatmentEverything is perfect, until you see that your hair is no longer silky and shiny like it was used to be, but dry and dull.

Why?

Among the genetic factors and external aggression ( frequent hair dying, to powerful hair dryer) another causes would be daily exposure in the sun without adequate protection and salty sea water that had affected your hairs.

1087 eyes 112x150 Does our eyes need special treatment?Yes! Definitely yes! Look carefully, deep into your eyes, and tell me: what do you see?

An ultra-delicate skin which looks like thin paper? I think it’s time to learn to take care of it! The skin around our eyes it’s between 5 and 10 times more thinner than the rest of our face skin. In the same time, it’s also the less irrigated because the blood and lymphatic vessels are more fragile and fewer. Unlike the body skin, nose or chin, the skin around the eye does not have sebaceous glands, which gives a dry tide.

Smoking, coffee, cold, wind, unmakeup , excessive exposing in the sun and loosing nights are some of the negative factors that affects the teguments around the eyes. So not only that the skin around the eyes is much more delicate, but we spend our whole life sensitising even more. As a result, it’s the firs area that shows ageing effects. This appears not only as wrinkles and thin lines, but also as bumps and dark circles that we need to treat them adequately.
