Get Rid of BlackheadsBlackheads are the most annoying things that can appear on your face. They’re small, grainy, and dark, and they drive everyone crazy! So how can you get rid of them? Especially on the nose, blackheads seem to camp there because your nose has the most oil-producing glands than any other part of your body. When the grease combines with the dead skin, blackheads are born. To get rid of these nasty little things, use a face peel with alpha-hydroxy acid twice a week. Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Facial Peel ($36.95) is one of the best blackhead fighters I have ever used. It’ll clear ...

Eye Makeup TipSometimes you just need a little nudge in the right direction to get things going. With eye makeup for example, you might know the look that you want, but it doesn’t always turn out this way for you. The reason for this is because your eyes are different than someone else’s. Every eye has a different shape, and therefore you cannot duplicate exactly what you see on a model. So how do you get bigger, brighter eyes if you’re going for a darker look, but it makes your eyes appear almost non-existent? All you have to do is line the inner corner with a shimmery white or silver ey...

Veet Bladeless KitIf you want perfectly smooth skin then the Veet Bladeless Kit is the shaving system for you. Not only is it bladeless which means no cuts or nicks, but it’s fast, painless, and super easy to use. I must say this is the best shaving method I have found so far (for me at least). Since a lot of people don’t like to wax or sugar because it is painful and can leave your skin irritated, this method is just perfect. All you have to do is apply a thick layer of the hair removal gel cream onto your skin and wait 3 minutes. The use the bladeless tools to remove the hair (just like a razor bu...

Nail Polish SecretIf you’re one of those people that absolutely hate it when your nail polish chips or when your polish just doesn’t want to stay on…then this is the read for you! When applying nail polish, you need to “wrap” it. “Wrapping” the nail polish means wrapping the actual polish over and slightly under the nail’s front edge to help prevent chipping. Do this precisely with the iron and calcium fortified Maybelline New York Salon Expert Nail Color and its exclusive curved-precision brush. I’ve tried it and it works amazingly. Usually, I’m strug...

St. Ives Mineral TherapySt. Ives Mineral Therapy is an unbelievable body moisturizer. It replenishes your skin’s moisture with a unique mineral complex…for ultimate hydration! I’ve only recently tried this formula because my skin was getting so dry, and it works like a charm. As soon as I put it on, I could actually feel the moisture seeping through my skin. Not only that, but it has a wonderful smell, and you’ll want to apply it again and again. For best results, apply the lotion three minutes after exiting the shower. ...

What to do if Your Dye Burns Your ScalpWe all know that it can be quite expensive to go to the salon…especially for a dye! So if you’re one of those girls that like to do the at-home dying, you probably know most of the ins and outs. But if you’re a first timer, your scalp might not be used to the dye. Especially if you’ve never dyed your hair before! So what do you do when you put the dye on your hair and your scalp starts burning? A lot of salons will actually mix the dye with Sweet ‘N Low to buffer irritation. And you can do it at home as well! Just put a little bag of the sweetener into the dye mix...

Sweater DressesAlthough sweater dresses have been around for quite a bit this past year, I haven’t really paid much attention to them. And that is probably because of the name- sweater- dress (which made me think of fall and winter!). So now that fall is upon on, sweater dresses are the ultimate dresses for the cold weather. Not only are they comfortable, but paired up with a pair of black tights and boots, they look incredible! Sweater dresses come in many different fabrics, so choose one that’s best for you (of course cashmere would be ideal, but then again, it is a little pricier!) Sweater dre...

Cardigans- Best Fall ItemIf there is one item that you should not be without this fall it’s the cardigan. Not only are these babies comfortable and warm, they’re very stylish and trendy, and will match up with almost anything (depending on the color of course). Choose a neutral colored cardigan as you will get more and better uses out of it. You can also go for different lengths. There are shorter cardigans (which are sportier) and there are longer cardigans (which are dressier). So depending on your style, you can choose different lengths. Longer cardigans match well with jeans, sweater dresses and...
