All girls dream of the day when they find that significant other to share the rest of their lives with, and of the perfect day in which to ‘seal the deal’. Part of that perfect day involves getting fully pampered and beautified, from getting facials, mani-pedis, waxed, hair-do’s and off course ‘beating’ your face! It’s your wedding day after all, so it’s ok to go all out and splurge a little.



Two most important things to do before your big day is to get enough rest and drink lots of water, this will avoid those tired looking, puffy and red eyes. Applying a hydrating facial mask the night before morning of, can also assist. These can be store bought or DIY.



Simple DIY Avocado Face Mask

Ingredients
·         -1 Avocado
·         -1 tsp vitamin E oil

Method
·        - Cut avocado in half, remove the skin and pit and skin.
·         -Place avocado in a mixing bowl and mash.
·         -Add the vitamin E oil.
·         -Mix well

Apply mask to face and leave on for about 15-20 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water and pat face dry with a towel. This mask moisturize, soothe and revitalize dry and damaged skin, and also acts as an anti-inflammatory that repairs and protects your skin.

 If you plan on getting your eyebrows or any other facial hairs waxed its wise and advised to do this a couple days before should Murphy’s Law prevail, and you get burned by the wax. The same advice applies for facials, lash extensions or tans, and always do a patch test to ensure that no allergic reaction occurs. For lash extensions you do not want to have a horror story or trip to the emergency room on your day. Be sure to have them professionally done and as I said test the glue on your skin first, to avoid eye infections or irritation.

Choosing the Right Concealer

Slay of the Day- Choosing the Right Concealer Using the right concealer can give you a beautifully flawless look when applying your makeup. If the correct one is chosen it can cover blemishes, conceal dark circles or spots, or give the look of evenly toned skin. The wrong one can been seen through your foundation and attract attention to your problem areas, show up your blemishes, or show up as a white cast around your eyes. You need to find one that's best for your skin type. For dry skin it is not wise to use a liquid concealer that leaves you with a matte finish, instead try a stick concealer which is usually creamy and pigmented, which can be dotted on the area to be covered or swiped on. After which you blend it with your beauty blender or concealer brush. Coverage ranges from medium to full. For oily skin try a liquid concealer that leaves a matte finish. This type of concealer is great as you can build up on the desired coverage you want from light to full...

Weird Makeup Trends

Weird Makeup Trends For every great makeup trend created there's a weird, crazy one to match, not all are a hit. Here are some weird makeup trends that had me wondering if the creators were on some sort of substance. The Braided Brow As I mentioned in my post on brows I love seeing perfect brows, so imagine my astonishment at seeing these brow trends. As much as it looks perfectly sculpted and you have to be really talented to get it to look like a braid, it is beyond my comprehension why someone would want to rock braided brows. The Feathered Brow If the braided brow wasn't bad they came up with the feathered brow. Like why, are you going to fly away? The Squiggly Brow Then they thought of the squiggly or wavy eyebrow.  The Squiggly Lips To match the squiggly brows the squiggly lips were created that had me screaming whyyyyyyy??? Nose Hairs Who would purposely want hair sticking out of their nose, especially and female??? ...
