Homemade leg wax! Super easy!!!

Store waxing products too expensive? Well here is a very cheap alternative that works just the same, if not better, and you can make it in a few minutes with items in the kitchen!

INGREDIENTS
2 cups of sugar
1/4 cup of lemon juice( fresh or  bottled)
1/4 of hot water

The first thing you need to do is get a sauce pan. Put the sugar in and then the lemon juice. MIX it well. It should be  kinda chunky. Then add the hot water. MIX it. Put the sauce pan on to boil. boil it for about 5-7 minutes. take it off and it should be a golden brown color. let it sit for 1-2 minutes. if its really runny put it back on the heat. once its been on for about 1 1/2 minutes let it sit again. IT should be about honey texture. let it cool off even more. put it in a container. You can store it in the fridge. use a kife or spatula and go in the direction the hair is growing. Take a wax strip or even a long piece of cloth and place it on the wax. pull up fast in the opposite direction! And your legs are hairless. FAST SIMPLE EASY!

Easy ways to remove dead skin!

When you have dead skin on your face or even on your hands or feet, it can catch on things. It can  tear, and if its really bad it can bleed.
There are many simple ways this can be cured.
If the problem area is your face:
Use a gentle exfoliator to exfoliate off the dead skin cells. Rinse it off with luke warm water, and pat dry with a towel. Do not rub it because this particular movement is harsh on the skin. Then apply a facial moisturizer, water based is the best.
If the problem area is on your hands or feet:
Purchase a pumice stone. This is a stone you can use to exfoliate dead skin off. It can be used multiple times. Once you have done that heat some olive oil so its warm but not too hot. Let your hands or feet soak in this for about 15 minutes. Pat this dry but do not wash it off. On top of this apply a heavy cream moisturizer. Take plastic wrap and wrap your hands/feet in this and leave it for as long as you want ( i like to do this overnight). Take it off and rinse with warm water! Now you will have moisturized nice skin :) Repeat as much as you want!

How to make your eyebrows arch more

Have you ever looked in the mirror, and you just want to arch your eyebrows a bit more? Well today this tutorial will teach you a few tricks on how to do this. A lot of people use cosmetic surgery to do this, but luckily you dont have to spend money or go through a surgery! So here are a few tricks!
1. After you wake up in the morning wash your face and don't put any makeup on, Then using your middle and ring finger place your middle finger where you want your arch to be and put your ring finger beside it. Push up on your eyebrow for about five minutes. You'll notice that it looks a bit extreme. Let your eyes relax for about two minutes and voila you have instant arch!
2. When you wake up take a spooly ( like a mascara brush) and brush up your eyebrows. Make the hairs stick straight up. Fill in where you want your arch and brush the brows back into place this gives the illusion of a more arched brow!!!


I hope this helps and happy arching!

First Impressions: Covergirl Fresh Complextion concealer!

So the other day I bought a covergirl Concealer. I bought it in the color classic ivory. One of lightest colors! Anyways I tried it out and i put it on a blemish I have. This concealer is not a cream concealer. I could tell the minute I opened it. I used the tip and put it on my blemish. Patted it in because your supposed to pat concealer, not rub it. And the first thing I noticed was that it was quite watery. This product provided adequate coverage. I would definitely recommend using foundation with this product as well. It only provides middleish coverage!

First Impression: Loreal Foam Hair color

For the first time yesterday I used loreal foam hair color. At the beginning I was excited to try this product. First I changed into a shirt I never wear anymore and got ready to color my hair. I did the first step and Put bottle one into bottle two. The smell was super ranky. You definitely have to turn on a fan for this product. Anyways aside from the smell I put it in my hair like the instructions say. Although I would definitely recommend doing it in layers though. I put it in and let it sit for thirty minutes. During this time I noticed it itched more than regular hair coloring kits. The smell of it really BURNS your nose. When the time was up I rinsed it out and used the conditioner. I blow dried my hair and didn't even notice a difference in my hair color!

I don't think I would recommend this product because of the smell, itch and the lack of results.
