Over the years, I have picked up a bunch of awesome, easy beauty/fashion tips that are just too good not to share! So, enjoy girls!
1) Did you know Pantene Pro V makes your hair thinner? It has a certain vitamin in it that over time creates significant hair loss.
If you have thick hair, use it once a week to chill your hair out. If not, here's what to do: Buy the Pantene Pro V conditioner and shave with it. It causes hair loss right? Well, what's better then losing hair on your legs! My hair dresser gave my this tip, she said she has a ton of clients who do it & it cuts their shaving time into almost half! Worth it.
2) If you tan, shave and exfoliate before hopping in the bed. This causes your pores to open giving you a way better looking tan and making your skin silky smooth! Do the same even if you use self tanner! Also if you use self tanner, I've found it's most effective and way less streaky if you mix it in really in really well with a regular non scented lotion. I use Jergens and I'll give it a couple pumps of my daily lotion and mix it around in the palm of my hand before putting it on. It makes the tan look WAY more natural and last longer too!
Secret tip within a tip: When exfoliating use a sugar exfoliant, salty scrubs can cause really dry skin! I like the Neutrogena sugar scrub.
3) Everyone is always on the search for the best shampoos and conditioners out there, but the one's that I've had best results with are Biolage. Although it's more expensive than other shampoos, it is SO hydrating and worth it. I have really corse, thick hair and it does wonders! Anything from biolage I trust, because they are made with really great ingredients that don't go down in the drain!
4) There are so many great perfumes out there (I can't stop obsessing over Flowerbomb), but sometimes I feel like I spray them on and they don't actually stay on. In order to help this problem, hop out of the shower, lotion up within 5 minutes, and spray on your favorite scent. The hydration of your skin keeps the smell lasting much longer than without it!
5) The best candles I've ever had are a little more expensive (sold at Spice and Sironia in Waco) but are my FAVORITE! Tyler's candles are the best smelling candles ever and your whole house ends up smelling like them. My favorite scent is Dolce Vita, it smells like heaven mixed with vanilla, mmm.
6) My hair naturally super curly and thick, so I am constantly applying heat to it, between blow drying it and straightening it, it can get damaged. The best thing I have done for it is to STOP USING A REGULAR BRUSH when it's wet. I get out of the shower, put my hair product in it and use a pick, yes..like a pick.
Your hair is most suceptible to damage when it's wet, so using a regular brush will pull it flat but it make it super frizzy when it dries. Also, try putting Kerastase serum (the best hair product in the world) in it before you brush it to detangle. My hair dresser swears by it.
7) Stop.Using.Foundation. I see so many girls walk around campus with a make up line from their neck to their face and it's because they use foundation all over their face. If you have a break out, or dark circles, use concealer (& always dab, never rub). Foundation is for women in their 40's who need to hide wrinkles. Show your youth, and your skin. Please!
8) If you have a problem with eyeliner staying on, which I do, I once heard a make up trick from Kim Kardashian's make up artist which was- stop using eyeliner gels and pens. They end up warming up to your body temperature and melt off! He recommended getting a eyeliner brush, or just a thin makeup brush, dipping it in water, and then either rubbing it across your favorite black or dark brown eye shadow. The dryness of the eyeshadow will help it stay on your eyes longer, and help it not smudge as much!
xoxo.
