Beautilicious Beauty Tips: How are you doing on your "resolutions"?

Remember those resolutions you made the first of the year?
I don't either!

Three years ago, I made a resolution to never make resolutions ever again! And, for the first time in my lifetime...I have been able to keep my resolution! Actually, I plan moments...I prefer that word "moments", instead of resolutions, because I'm more likely to accomplish something in a moment. Confused, oh well it makes sense to me. If you are some of the halo-people who keep your resolutions - more power to you! You Go Girls!

Beautilicious Brows

The most important thing is for your brows to be symmetrical. I prefer both waxing and tweezing to shape up the brows. Waxing to remove all hairs, including the fine hairs that cannot be plucked out and tweezing for precision shaping right after waxing.

To determine the ultimat shape for your brows, stand in front of amirror with a pencil and hold it upright from the middle of your nose straight up-this is where your brow should start. Then hold the pencil vertically from the tip of your nose above your iris. This is where the highest point of your brow arch should be. Lastly, hold the pencil from the corner of your nose to the corner of your eye-this is where the brow should end.

The natural way to rid water retention

Most women experience water retention at some time. You’re hardly able to zip your jeans or worse your rings are so tight it feels like the circulation has been cut off to our fingertips!

The first thing you can do is drink more water. Water retention is common when we are dehydrated or low on water. The body tends toward conserving water, and will retain a bit in order to keep us hydrated. Drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day helps shed extra water, reducing water retention.
The amount of fluids that gets into your cells is controlled by sodium and potassium in your system. However, factors like hormonal changes – and diet-- can disturb the whole process and result to water retention.

Here is an idea using a common herb in your kitchen that can help you banish water retention in a snap. I have used this method myself with great results.

Parsley is a plant that can trace its origins back to the Mediterranean. A part of the carrot family, parsley has always been a mainstay in the kitchens of Greeks and Romans. Its main use is as a spice and vegetable. But it also has been known as one of the best remedies for water retention. Experts recommend drinking tea made from about two teaspoons of fresh parsley.

Peppermint Hair Rinse

This aromatic hair rinse proves especially beneficial for greasy hair of all colours, providing squeaky clean tresses. The added benefit is a subtle light and refreshing scent permeates your hair as well! Ingredients: 10 T chopped peppermint leaves. 2 pints soft water. 2 pints cider vinegar. 1. Place the peppermint leaves and water in a pan, and bring slowly to a boil. 2. Simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and infuse for one hour. 3. Strain your Peppermint Rinse infusion and stir in the vinegar. Pour into bottles. Cover, and label. Use after shampooing your hair for a delightfully clean and refreshing hair rinse!

Fall Make-up Tips

Be Natural

Use light and natural colored foundation and blush. A natural face is the quintessential fall look.

Make Your Best Feature Stand Out

Choose either your eyes or your lips to stand out by applying dramatic or bright makeup to your eyes or a bold red to your lips; don’t try to do both. It will be too overwhelming.

Be Bold

If you use bright eye makeup, choose colors that really stand out. Purple will be a sure bet for every face this fall.

How to Wear Pink and Orange Eye Shadow – if you dare!

Pink and orange eye shadows will give your face a soft and warm glow and are perfect beauty accents for a cool fall day. Apply orange shadow to the lower part of your lids (up to the creases), then smudge it into a light pink shadow all the way to your brow bone.

Charcoal is the New Black.

Heavy eyeliner is in, but try using a charcoal color instead of a black pencil—black eyeliner will be too severe for fall.
