Eliminate Under Eye Circles (For Good)

by

After a long work week, the last thing you want to hear when going out with your friends is «wow, you look so tired.» Sometimes even with 8 hours of sleep in our system, we still manage to look like we pulled two all-nighters in a row, thanks to those dreaded dark under eye circles. While rest is a crucial part of reducing the appearance of bags, there are many other ways you can avoid looking like a zombie in the off-Halloween Season.

First Thing’s First: Tackle The Reason You Have Eye Circles

Concealer can only do so much when it comes to purple blue bags under the eyes. Instead of trying to cover the problem, it’s best to tackle the problem at its source. For some people, the darkness is due to hyper-pigmentation in the area. Certain ethnicities are even more prone to this, such as Asians. Other individuals simply have certain genetics that make them more prone to puffiness in the eyes and face. This adds to the effect of apparent tiredness.

Retinol Is The Remedy

Retinol is a key ingredient for helping you to reduce wrinkles and reduce the appearance of aging in the sensitive skin around the eye region. This ingredient also helps to normalize the dark pigment cells in the eyes that create the purple blueish tone. Any retinol eye serum will help smooth the area and keep the skin your beautiful skin tone.

Caffeine- It’s Not Just For Coffee!

Certain creams and serums with caffeine can actually give your skin a boost, making your face appear more energized and awake. The caffeine also helps to make the skin around the eye look plump, so any shadows are significantly diminished.

Vamp Up The Vitamins

Vitamins aren’t just essential in your diet. They are also great for making your skin look smooth and rich, especially in the thin, sensitive skin patches around the eyes. Serums with Vitamin C are particularly useful in combating free-radical damage and hyper-pigmentation due to stress. Finally, one less thing to stress about!

Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ Photoshop Fails

by

The Kardashians have just finished their 16th season (yes, 16!) and it goes without saying that this family has invested a lot of money to look this good over the years. And with their own makeup, skincare, and clothing lines, it’s no wonder people follow them religiously on social media and try to copy their looks. However… with all the millions of followers and the amount of money reeling in for the sisters, you’d think they’d spend a little more money on editing their photos… Wrong. Here to breakdown some of the Kardashians’ worst photoshop fails on social media to date.

Just Forgo The Facetune, Kim

Facetune is an incredibly popular app used by many to edit photos. However, when using this photoshop tool, your face can go from subtly cute to straight up alien in a matter of seconds, as seen with Kim’s latest post.

Who are these… CREATURES! For starters, the lips of Kim and her friend on the left take up about a quarter of their entire face. I don’t care how much lip liner you use, even a clown doesn’t have proportions that big.

Second, the noses are just all wrong. While Kim’s friend on the left’s nose looks like it was sliced at the tip, her other friend appears to have a big droopy rectangle pasted onto her face. This is not natural.

While there are so many other photoshop fails to comment on in this photo, what stands out the most has to be the eyes. I can’t even look at the girl on the right for more than two seconds. She looks borderline possessed, while the others all just have shiny bug eyes going on.

Catch These (Kylie) Hands!

Being the youngest self-made billionaire in the world doesn’t mean you are immune to photoshop fails. This picture of Kylie showing off her curves and beautifully manicured nails might seem relatively normal.

That is, until you take a second look at that freakishly smooth and long hand! It’s practically the size of half her arm! And last time we checked, she wasn’t out ballin’ on the courts. We call this a serious fail!

Cold infusions to stay hydrated this summer

by

Infusion

With this heat and the strong summer sun it becomes very easy to feel dehydrated, which is why it’s important to constantly drink water. However, sometimes water can become very boring if it’s the only drink we have, and soda-like drinks aren’t exactly helping our diets either. So a great option to break out of this water routine is combining it with cold infusions. They are absolutely delicious and super healthy for us!

Cold infusions can be amazingly refreshing and they are full of great properties for our health. It’s the best option to handle days of intense heat! You’ll see how you won’t want to drink anything else anymore. Take care of yourself, and enjoy doing it.

Green tea with blueberries

Blueberries

This infusion, besides being super healthy due to the amount of antioxidants it contains, is also amazingly delicious. It is very refreshing and is full of flavour. You only have to boil a couple of green tea bags together with some blueberries.

Once you’ve done so, and the given time has passed, let it cool down. You can choose to either put it in the fridge or throw in some ice cubes. Either way is fine. And that’s it! You’re ready to enjoy your own cold infusion.

Ginger and chamomile tea

Ginger

Take a chamomile teabag and a ginger root and put them to boil. Then, let it cool down in the fridge. Next, choose the citrus fruit you prefer and make a nice juice out of it. Lastly, mix all of it and add ice, ¡and you’re done! This one is great because both the chamomile and the ginger have incredibly positive properties, plus, you’ll love the flavour of it.

Mint and blackberry

Blackberry mint

This cold infusion is super easy to make as you won’t even have to boil the ingredients. Simply introduce a handful of blackberries and some mint leafs into a jar and pour some water in it. Let is sit for various hours, and there you have it. You can add some ice cubes if you wish it to be colder.

This option is great as the mint gives off a very refreshing feeling, while the blackberries are sweet, meaning you won’t need to add any extra sugar. This way, we take care of both our diet and our taste buds.

Green tea, mint and cherries

Cherries

This infusion is super tasty: you’ll love the freshness of the mint combined with the tastiness of the cherries. Plus, green tea has many great properties and help us with our «detox» plan.

Start by cutting the cherries in half, but remember not to get rid of the pits. Put them in a jar and add the rest of the ingredients on top: mint leafs, tea bags and water. Let the mix sit in your fridge for 12 hours. Once the time’s up, strain the mix and serve in glasses with ice cubs. Now you have the ideal infusion to stay hydrated this summer!

Save Your Makeup Look This Summer With This Secret

by

You’ve just spent half an hour doing your makeup for a night on the town, complete with the perfect cat eye, when five minutes later you can already feel your face melting off. You haven’t even left your damn apartment, let alone entered a hot and sweaty bar… Ugh!

Summer can be a serious struggle when it comes to looking your best, but we’ve got the secret to keeping your face looking flawless all night long: setting powder.

All Setting Makeup Is Not Alike

You’ve probably already heard of a setting spray, which is a polymer-infused liquid spray to keep your makeup intact, however adding an extra layer of liquid to your face is not what you want to be doing in the summer. Talk about a sweaty, sticky situation…

Grease Free Is The Way To Be

That’s why setting powder serves as a real savior this summer. Instead of spraying on, this powder is delicately applied on top of your foundation with a powder brush. The ingredients are packed with oil-absorbing minerals, so your makeup is never greasy and stays put in the heat. While it’s especially useful during the summer time, given its grease-reducing properties, it is also a great makeup tool to have in your arsenal year round if your skin tends to be oily or combination.

Look Younger In Seconds

In addition to absorbing oil, setting powders enhance your makeup look by blurring fine creases and lines to make you instantly look younger. This way, you avoid getting the dreaded makeup that cakes and builds up in your wrinkles. No shame in having them, but that doesn’t mean you have to highlight fine lines for everyone to see!

Setting powder is also great for reducing the appearance of your pores. This way your skin looks smooth and soft all day long.

A Versatile Addition To Your Makeup Bag

It’s safe to say setting powder is a very versatile product, because you don’t need to apply it to your whole face for it to be effective. Just a few dabs on common problem spots along the «T-Zone» is enough to make a big impact on the durability of your makeup look. So long sweaty, hello sexy!

The Inside Scoop On The New Charlie’s Angels Movie

by

We are living for all the recent movies with crime fighting females taking the lead (Captain Marvel ftw)! The latest that will be SURE to take you by storm? None other than the new and much anticipated Charlie’s Angels movie, hitting theaters this fall. The trailer was released this week and we are living for it!

All New Angels

While this continuation doesn’t star our beloved trio Natalie (Cameron Diaz), Alex (Lucy Liu) and Dylan (Drew Barrymore), this new flick has a pretty powerful cast. Stars like Kristen Stewart, Sam Claflin and Elizabeth Banks will be working together to kick butt in this film reboot.

For those worried that these new stars could never fill the shoes of the previous three Angels (whom we all dressed up as at least once for Halloween), rest assured that is NOT the goal of this film. According to Kristin Stewart, “We are not trying to do an impression of the last one.”

New Male Friends

Given there’s an all new cast of Angels, it only makes sense to add a new male hottie to the mix as well. While little has been revealed about the character of «Langston», we do know that he will be played by Noah Centineo. You probably recognize him from his role in the recent Netflix hit, «To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before,» where he quickly won us over. No complaints here for finally getting to see him on the big screen!

More Female Empowerment

You’ll feel like the plot and characters got a serious glow up this time around. This movie is all about female empowerment, which means less female objectification and stereotypical romantic plots, and more respect for the amazing skills these Angels have. As Elizabeth Banks told EW, “I mean, women can do anything. That’s not just my personal belief. That’s the core belief of Charlie’s Angels.”

A movie and a message we totally stand behind!

Face masks that cover all of your wants and needs

by

Face mask

We all like to take care of ourselves from time to time, especially after a stressful week or a tiring work day. «Self-care» has been a concept to often come up lately, and we are totally up for it!

Unfortunately, we can’t always afford a trip to the spa, which is why it’s a great idea to turn your own home into a relaxation sanctuary. A little pampering is never too much to ask!

Facial masks for your needs and wants

Skincare

One of the best ways of giving ourselves some self-love is with face masks: they always seem to leave us feeling extra relaxed and renewed. And besides making us feel so good, they are super enriching for our skin.

Given each one of us has a different skin type, it’s important you dive into it a little bit and take a look at what skin type you personally have. Also, find out what benefits you wish to obtain from a face mask.

Mask

Do you suffer from dry skin and you’re looking for a mask that provides hydration? or are you instead looking for an exfoliating one? We give you a variety of masks so that you can choose the one that suits you best. Go ahead, and treat yourself!

1. Exfoliation with honey and almonds

If you desire a smooth skin that’s free of imperfections, this is the mask you are looking for. You will only need 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of honey and 2 almonds. Mix the honey and the almonds, and then add the lemon juice.

Almonds

Once you have made the mix, apply it to your skin and massage it swiftly into your skin with circular movements. Let it sit for approximately 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water.

2. Say goodbye to wrinkles

For this face mask we will use both parts of an egg (the yolk and the egg white), but separately: each will have a different function. Thus, the first step for this mask is separating both parts. Once you’ve done this, add 1 tablespoon of honey, and 2 tablespoons of milk to the yolk. Churn these 3 ingredients intensely.

Eggs

Then, churn the egg white. This part you will apply to the contour of your eyes and to your neck. The yolk mix will go on the rest of the face, just like a regular mask.

Let is sit for 10 minutes, and rinse off with warm water. We recommend you repeat the process if you want to obtain better results. You’ll immediately see an improvement in your wrinkles!

3. Hydrating oil

Olive oil

You’ve probably already heard about how good oils are for your skin. Well, for this mask we are going to use the most basic oil there is: olive oil. Apply it to your face and neck and let it sit for approximately 20 minutes. You’ll see your skin glow up! It’s great for hydration.

4. You’ll go bananas for this mask

Bananas

If you have an oily skin complex, this is the mask for you. Mix 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of honey and a ripe banana. Once you see the mix has become an even paste, apply it to your face and let it sit for 15 minutes. Finally, rinse off with cold water. You’ll immediately feel your skin is more balanced and you’ll feel super relaxed!

5. Coriander vs. acne

Coriander

Many of us have suffered, or still suffer from acne, which is why we have decided to add this mask to the list. This way you’ll be able to easily fight off those annoying pimples we always want to get rid of.

Mix half a cup of milk with one cup of flour and fresh coriander. Once you obtain a more or less even paste, apply it to your skin and let it sit for 15 minutes. Finally, rinse it off with warm water.
