Trends and Styles for your Nights out and Healthy Tips for Yourself!

Want Great Foundation All Day: Tips
1. After washing and moisturizing your face, dab an oil absorbing primer (Benefit the Porefessional, $28; at sephora.com) over your T-zone to cut shine and help your makeup last.
2. Choose a noncomedogenic liquid (Neutrogena Skin Clearing oil-free makeup, $12; at shop.neutrogena.com) and use a sponge (Sonia Kashuk non-latex square sponges, $4/2; at target.com), not your fingers, to get formula from the bottle.
3. Use blotting sheets (Paul & Joe blotting papers, $5/100; at beautyhabit.com) to soak up excess oil without messing up your makeup through out the day.


False Eye-Lashes are in Right Now!! Here is how they are done According to Glamour:

Adjust Your View: Do not look straight into the mirror. Put a makeup mirror on the table so that you’re gazing down. You’ll be able to see what you’re doing and the strip will land right on the lash line. Hold the strip of lashes up to your eyes before you apply the glue—if they’re too wide, trim them down. For easier application, you can cut the strip into three or four pieces and place them with tweezers. Even if your lashes come with adhesive, it’s worth using a strong-hold, waterproof glue. Try Ardell Duo Eyelash Adhesive ($6, sallybeauty.com).  Apply a small amount of glue directly to the base of the fake lashes. Let it dry for 20 seconds, stick the strip on, then wiggle it into place. Want a more natural look? Do some fluttery clusters of individual lashes on the outer corners of your eyes only.
Add Finishing Touches: Trace on black liner to fill in any gaps, then gently clamp lashes with a curler to blend real lashes with the faux. Up the intensity with one coat of mascara.
Take ‘em Off: At the end of the night, don’t treat your fake lashes like a Band-Aid— peeling them off can hurt! To dissolve the glue, press a makeup-remover-soaked cotton ball against your eyelids, gently slide down and slip falsies off.

Keeping Healthy Hair:
Eat healthy foods that aid the hair in staying strong and lustrous. Your diet can also
1. Essential fatty acids, especially omega-3 fatty acids, play a key role in skin, hair, and nails. You should eat some of these foods, which are rich in omega-3, every day:
  • Salmon, tuna, mackerel, and other fatty fish
  • Flaxseed oil
  • Walnuts and almonds
2 Vitamins B-6, B-12, and folic acid are also important to your hair. Vegetarians and vegans often don't get enough of these vitamins.
    • Good sources of vitamin B-6 include bananas, potatoes (both white and sweet), and spinach.
    • Eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially citrus fruits and tomatoes, will help you get folic acid. Whole grain and fortified grain products, beans, and lentils also contain folic acid. Major sources of B-12 include meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products.
  • Protein is also critical for keeping hair healthy, but many people don't get enough. Lean meat like fish, chicken, eggs, and soy products are good sources of protein; eat one serving every day.
  • Trace minerals like magnesium and zinc also affect hair- it's a good idea to take a daily multivitamin.
