Transculent Powder Instead of Tinted Powder

Hey Everybody! Get SUPER Excited!  I'm back with another informational beauty blog.   Let's talk beauty...Did you know that transculent powder can be worn all year?

Pro Tip
Try transculent powder to set makeup instead of tinted powder so you won't have to replace it season to season.

Because it’s translucent, this powder is the perfect match for any skin tone – from very fair to dark. It sets foundation for a sheer, invisible finish and has light-diffusing properties designed to help soften the appearance of imperfections for a skin-perfecting look.

Application Tips

To apply:

• Dip or dust a powder brush into powder and tap off the excess.
• Use a very light hand in applying. The powder brush distributes powder evenly over the face without concentrating in any one area.
• Use downward strokes from the forehead to the chin and out to the edges of the face.

How to Treat Dry and Flaky Eyelids

Hey Everybody!  Get Excited!  I’m back with another informational beauty blog.  Let’s talk beauty…Did you know that the eyelid is one of the most common areas irritation?  The skin of the eyelid is extremely sensitive and more prone to allergic reaction than the tough skin on your hands. Although dry, itchy eyelids are usually attributed to makeup.  Dry, flaky eyelids can be a sign of infection or inflammation that requires medical attention, but they can also arise as a reaction to certain skin and eye products or result from hormonal changes. There are a few ways to reduce the dryness on your eyelids, but the sensitivity of the area must be kept in mind.

Here are some things you can do to reduce your discomfort.

Petroleum Jelly

Petroleum Jelly is a wonderful alternative why to treat dry eyelid. Dip a Q-tip into some petroleum jelly and spread a thin layer over your eyelid. Do not put chunks or thick layers over your eyelid; this will suffocate the skin and could cause more irritation. It is best to do this at nighttime right before bed, since petroleum jelly can leave eyelids looking shiny. Repeat this for about a week or until the dryness goes away.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Apply extra virgin olive oil to your eyelids. Rinse your face with warm water and leave it damp. Dip a cotton ball into the extra virgin olive oil and gently rub it onto your eyelids. Olive oil is a natural ingredient that penetrates deep and seals in moisture.

Aloe Vera

Immediate relief of discomfort from your dry eyelids can be achieved using Aloe Vera, which contains soothing and healing properties.    Apply Aloe Vera as often as necessary. It will not build up on your skin like most skin products.  Make sure to use an Aloe Vera product that contains no preservatives and that is made up of at least 98 percent.

Daily Care

Taking proper daily care of your skin is the most important aspect to ridding your eyelids of dry skin, as well as further preventing dry eyelids. It's best to never sleep with makeup on your face because it doesn't allow your skin to breath. Cleanse your face every night before bed, followed by moisturizing your eyelids. Also, eyelids are especially sensitive to the sun. You can wear a light combination facial sunscreen and moisturizer to prevent dryness due to sun exposure.

Makeup Tips

Until your eyelids are successfully treated for dryness, there are a couple tips you can use in the meantime to ensure that your makeup goes on smoothly. Wearing liquid eye shadow instead of powder eye shadow will ensure no clumping occurs. If you do use powder eye shadow, use a primer beforehand to create a smooth base over your eyelid.

At Home Summertime Pedicure

Hey Everybody!  Get Excited!  I’m back with another informational beauty blog.   Let’s talk beauty…Did you that you don't have to go to a nail salon and get a pedicure every week to have great looking toenails?

Summertime is all about wearing flip-flops and showing off those beautiful toes, so makes sure that you choose a color that matches your personal style.  At-home pedicure is easier than you think.  Here’s the tool you’ll need. 

Nail clippers
Emery board
Warm water
Clean towel
Cuticle pusher
Toilet paper or toe separator
Clear base-coat nail polish
Nail polish
Clear top-coat nail polish
Nail polish remover
Cotton swabs

Let’s get started…

Remove nail polish with cotton ball and gentle polish remover. Avoid rubbing too hard as this could cause nail scratching.

Clip and file your toenails. Use large nail clippers and cut straight across. Avoid cutting rounded corners, as it causes ingrown toenails. Shape your toenails using an emery board or nail file.

Use a buffer on tops of nails briefly to smooth down the nail surfaces. Don't press hard, which could damage the nail.

Soak your feet in warm water.

Push the cuticle back on each of your toenails. This will reveal the fresh new growth of your toenails and prepare the nail for polish.

Wash your feet with gentle soap and warm water after a few minutes of soaking. Dry thoroughly with a clean towel.

Dip a cotton ball in professional cuticle remover or olive oil and gently massage the toe until the cuticles are soft. Push cuticles back gently with cuticle pusher.

Massage a moisturizer into the foot and toes to keep skin soft and smooth.

Insert your toes into the toenail separator. This will keep your toes spread apart and prevent them from touching and smearing the nail polish.

Apply a base coat and let dry. Base coats not only prevent your toenail polish from chipping, but also protect from stains that occur on your nails with darker colors.

Apply nail polish to your toenails, one at time. Start with your big toe and move towards the smallest toe. Apply one coat and put a second coat of nail polish on after the first had dried. You shouldn't need more than two coats of polish.

Apply a protective top coat. Protective top coats increase shine and prolong the wear of your nail polish.

Use a cotton swab dabbed in nail polish remover to remove any mistakes or excess nail polish.

Pro Tip: When toenails spend a lot of time smothered in socks and shoes, the nails can harden and even yellow. Moisturizing your toenails regularly will boost your nail health and protect the nail from excess dryness.
