I have had a request from a reader asking me if I could write a post about how to remove mascara the proper way, and I thought why not?! Mascara is an ugly little makeup tool is looks great, but rarely wants to come off…therefore you almost always have to take extra action to remove your mascara. First of all, if you do have trouble removing mascara, please don’t use waterproof. Waterproof mascara will stay on for a while, and it is pretty difficult to remove. For mascara, try staying away from cream makeup removers because they don’t really do the trick that well with masca...

The world of makeup can be a somewhat hard and confusing place. Sometimes whatever you’re trying to do works, and sometimes you fail miserably. Either way, it’s all with trial and error that you learn to perfect your makeup techniques. Now that summer’s upon us, we can start experimenting with an array of different colors and styles. One of my favorite things to do is to combine two different colored eyeshadows together. I’m not talking about blending in different shades of the same color, but actually using two distinct colors that can be seen as two different colors ...

For those of you who don’t already know, sugaring is an ancient waxing method. Sugaring is also referred to as Persian waxing, and is a hair removing method that has been used for thousands of years. So what’s the difference between sugaring and waxing? Well for starters, waxing is a pain, literally. Sugaring is much less painful because it does not stick to the skin like wax does, but instead only attaches to the actual hairs that it is being applied to. This method of hair removal is also less harmful for your skin because it is made of natural ingredients, unlike waxing. Suga...

During the summer, it can be somewhat tedious to always blow dry your hair and style it either straight, curly, or give it some volume. That’s why wavy hair is the perfect solution for hot summer days. Wavy hair is usually the most common type of hair without any styling, therefore if it’s already there, it makes it that much easier! Granted that you have naturally straight or wavy hair, getting natural waves is a breeze. If you have big, curly hair, you might want to straighten your hair before beginning the process. Once your hair is straight, start making loose waves using a cur...

One of my ultimate favorite bag collections has to be from XOXO. These bags are anything but ordinary. They’re fun, original, and you can pretty much match them up with anything you wish. XOXO bags have a lot of detail and the colors work fabulously together. Most of these bags, also have the XOXO logo on them. It can be displayed almost anywhere, either with a big XOXO, or tiny inscriptions all over the bag, just like the Louis Vuitton bags. One of my favorite bags is the Infatuation Log Satchel Bag. It’s a white and beige purse which has colored hearts all over it, and it’s...

Japan has a style all of its own. It’s very unique, creative and personal all at the same time. Japanese fashion stands out because everyone makes their own fashion with their own personal touches. Japanese accessories as well as bags are even more impressive as they have tons of detail, color, and all kinds of fabrics and shapes. The kimono fabric bag is one of my favorites, although a more traditional style. It is very soft and feminine and goes fabulously with any evening outfit. Today’s Japanese trends consist of anything fun, creative, and very funky. At the same time, that do...
