Read any fashion magazine and you will find dozens upon dozens of beauty tips. I decided that I wanted to collect my favorites and share them with you!
Pedicure Crack-ups:
If you are anything like me when you get a pedicure, then you are holding your breath and trying so hard not to crack up when the technician is attempting to take the calluses of the soles of your feet. I get so embarrassed – it is hysterical. I read about something that I am totally going to try at my next pedi – wrap your hands around your leg right beneath the knee (as if putting it in a chokehold) while the technician files the calluses on that foot. If anyone tries this before the 17th please post if it truly works!
Lipstick Woes:
I wear eyeglasses almost every day – partially because I am lazy (truth be told) and partially because I like the way they look. I have about 6 pairs (add that to my list of obsessions please). Anyway, I was told once that if you wear glasses you should “even out” the weight of color on your face by wearing a “bold-ish” lipstick. I have found my most favorite lipstick by Bobbi Brown – Uber Nude. Totally worth a trip to the mall. My issue is that the lipstick comes off so quickly (do I eat it? does it disintegrate?). Here’s what needs to be done: First, apply color directly to your lips. Next, separate a two-ply tissue and hold one sheet against your lips while dusting translucent loose powder on top. Remove the sheet and apply another layer of color. Blot one last time with the remaining sheet and you’re good to go—for hours.
Bananas Aren’t Just for Eating:
I don’t know about you, but living in Florida and wearing flip flops and sandals quite often has run havoc on the heels of my feet. They get so cracked and dry (sorry if TMI). I read that you can take half of a banana, smash it in a bowl and add a few drops of honey. Slather your heels and then wrap your feet in saran wrap for 10 minutes. Please do not slip and fall, maybe do this during your favorite TV show or while reading a book.
