Theories about Eyelash Loss

I will admit that I’ve had many theories about eyelash loss in the past. I came to the conclusion that it mostly comes from how you treat your eyes on a daily basis and what you put on your lashes. This is not always the case though. Some women never wore eyeliner or mascara and still deal with eyelash loss. There are many factors that can contribute to eyelash loss; one of those factors is your diet. It is very true that what you eat determines ho w you will look. Believe it or not, the healthier you eat; the better looking you will look. So maintain a balanced diet and it may help with your eyelash loss.

After care for Eyelash Extensions

fter you get your Novalash Eyelash Extensions the after care is quite easy. There are just a few after care instructions that should be followed. Following these instructions will help the life of your Eyelash Extensions between fills. Fills should be done every 4-5 weeks to avoid needing a new full set.

Following the application of Eyelash Extensions the extensions should not be exposed to water for a 12-24 hour period. When washing the face becareful as not to splash water or cleanser in the eye area. There should be no swimming, hot tubs or steam rooms for the first 12-24 hours. Getting the lashes wet will break down the bonding of the adhesive causing the lashes to fall off sooner. After the first 12-24 hours there is no harm in getting them wet or swimming, hot tubs or steam rooms.

There are some things that cannot be done at all while the lashes are on. Avoid applying any moisturizers, eye creams or eye makeup removers to the lashes. Any cosmetic product that contains glycol, organic solvents, urea or high concentrations of alcohol should be avoided. These products can breakdown the adhesive bond, shortening the duration of the lashes. Rubbing the eyes and eyelash curlers should also be avoided.

There is an approved NovaLash mascara that is safe to use on the lashes that will not break down the bonding of the adhesive. Waterproof mascara should not be used. Repeated use of even approved mascara may shorten the lifespan of the Eyelash Extensions.

No More Eyelash Extension

My first and last time of eyelash extension mann. I have to admit that my eyes really looks pretty with the extensions but the after effects sucks.

This is what happened last night.

I was cleansing my face gently until I accidentally rubbed the sponge on my eyes. I thought nothing happened. But when I looked into the mirror when applying my skincare, I realized that the middle section of the eyelash dropping off. I was lazy to get glue and paste it back. Instead I pluck it off. Then it looks damn fugly. Frustratedly I plucked out all the extensions!

And you know what?!

Some of my real lashes came off together with the extensions! Now my lashes looks so little!! Arrgh!

That's why I tell myself no more eyelash extensions.

Now I'm waiting for my real lashes to grow back. I even applied some liquor on the pores so that it will grow faster..hahha!

I gotto put on fake lashes at the moment..

Sigh.

    Miss Manny says:

    Eyelash curlers don’t rip out your eyelashes unless you’re using them wrong. If you curl your lashes after you’ve put on mascara & it has dried it can rip out your lashes & if you pull it while it’s crimped, then you’d basically be grabbing them & yanking them out. False lashes though, not at all. You don’t actually glue the fake lashes onto your real lashes, you glue them right above, so there’s no way that anything comes into contact with your lashes. Good luck!

    If you are using an eyelash curler never use it after you have put on mascara. That is the main reason why eyelashes get ripped out. If you do decide to use it after mascara is applied then take a piece of toilet paper or a paper towel & wipe off the eyelash curler so any mascara residue is taken off. I love fake eyelashes & have never had a problem with them. Just be careful when you pull them off because if you mess up the eyelashes you can not reuse them. hope this helps…=0

Eyebrows and eye lashes acts as a cover to the eyes an also adds beauty to them. The Eyebrows and eyelashes have an important role in a person’s identification.Paying proper attention to them and by performing certain simple beauty techniques helps in improving the individual’s appearance. Brushing the eyebrows gives them the natural shape and will

peach fuzz and false eyelashes

My hair had already fallen out quite a lot, but then some of it was stubborn enough to stick around and even grow. I have a head full of peach fuzz, which everyone says is quite appropriate for a donnapeach. Marvin calls this my alien photo; I think he’s right :) .

After Friday’s chemo 2.4.1, though, the next day it started falling out, again. Little fine white hairs are falling all around me so much so that Buster, our Akita, is complaining LOL.

As happened with me the first time around, all of my other hair is falling out, and yes, I do mean all–arms and legs (woohoo, no more shaving) and the nether regions. Visibly and most obvious are the fading eyebrows and vanishing eyelashes.

What I dislike is that my eyelashes are nearly gone. So I’ve adopted fake lashes and have been learning to apply them. Currently, I’m using lashes that look natural, but I’m thinking of getting some that are more dramatic and fun. As usual, youtube has lots of instructional videos. After reviewing them, I’ve found a favorite poster xsparkage who is darling and IMHO does a great job of explaining tricks and techniques for applying lashes and fab eye makeup. This link is the one for applying lashes. My only variation in applying my lashes is that I apply them before I add any liner or other makeup; otherwise, mine seem to come loose after a while. If I apply them to my clean lash line, they seem to hold better. Otherwise, I follow her succinct instructions to the t.

Some cancer sites say don’t use false lashes because the glue is harsh. I have not found that to be the case. The glue is very gentle, as it should be for use on the eyelid. When I remove my lashes, I press the outside corner with one finger while pulling away the lashes with my other hand. I have had no soreness, redness or irritation since wearing them. The glue rolls up, so you can gently remove any residual glue with your finger. I occasionally use a little eye makeup remover.

today's choice: Ardell false eyelashes

today's choice: Ardell false eyelashes

After reviewing prices and brands, I have bought Ardell lashes. They are available at drugstores, discount stores and beauty supply stores for around $4, an excellent price, especially considering that you can reuse them several times. They have many styles from natural to totally fun with rhinestones or feathers. After removing them, use your fingers or tweezers and carefully pull off some of the glue on the lashes. You don’t have to remove it all. Then, put the lashes back in the lash box. One tip: it’s probably better to use the lash strips than the single lashes. Single lashes are great for vamping existing lashes; strips are best when you have a naked lid.

Anyway, false lashes are super fun. I hope you try them. I do believe it takes some practice, so be patient and give yourself some time to get used to applying them. Then, go bat your eyes at the target of your affection :) .

Beauty Tip

I just thought I'd add a beauty tip...alittle help from an actual disaster. Last December, I was getting ready to go out to dinner with my girlfriends. You know the routine: alittle eyeshadow, alittle liquid eye pencil, alittle curling the eyelashes with the eyelash curler. That's when I realized that my bangs were alittle long and I thought I'd give myself a little trim...and I did a bang-up job! Now, I was putting the finishing touches: mascara. As I went to my left eye, I realized that 80% of my eyelashes were gone! Cut right down to the lid!!!! What the hell?????? How could have this happened? Did I cut them with sissors when I was giving myself a haircut???? How stupid was that??? And what the hell was I going to do??? It's not like I could've gone ahead and went out...it was obviously noticeable. Dammit.

It just so happened I had some fake eyelashes (bought previously for a Halloween party that I never used). Okay, how hard can it be to put false eyelashes on? Well, after about 30 damn minutes, I successfully laid one strip of lash on my naked eyelid. It didn't look as bad as I thought it would...however, I didn't have another 30 minutes to add lashes to the other eye. So, I just added ALOT of mascara to the other eye. Wonder if anyone would notice? Of course, I couldn't keep my big mouth shut and asked several friends if they noticed anything different about me...and no one noticed. I fessed up and told them my story that I was stupid and cut my own damn eyelashes.

After alittle investigating, I realized that I didn't cut them with sissors...get this, it was my eye lash curler!!!! The rubber part of the curler was old and was cut in half...little did I know. So, instead of curling my lashes, it acted as a guillotine!!! So, ladies, go check your eyelash curler and make sure your rubber is NOT DRY-ROTTED!!! (Who knew that there was a shelf-life of rubber?)

My biggest worry was how long was it going to take for these lashes to grow back? I heard anywhere from 5 months to a year. I just couldn't imagine putting falsies on for an entire year...but I was gonna have to do something. Thanks to my funny friends, I now have a life-time's worth of false eye lashes!! Thank goodness, it's been 8 months and my lashes have grown back...and I haven't used an eye lash curler since.

Touch Screen Phone Alternative

There are a multitude of touch screen phones available. One of the most popular touch screen phones is the iPhone. While it is sought after by many people, it isn’t very affordable. Others would like an equally capable touch screen phone but at a reasonable price. With this in mind many cell phone companies have put out more affordable touch screen phones. One such phone is the enV Touch from Verizon Wireless. While the phone may be missing some key functions it is still a worthwhile affordable iPhone alternative.

The enV Touch has a unique design. It is a slide phone with two screens but they are both the same size. They are large and can display a whopping 1.6 million colors. This allows the screen to project beautiful images and content will appear very nice looking. There is an alphanumeric key pad displayed on the face screen which can be used for dialing numbers or sending out text messages. The touch screen works well but can be hard to get used to at times. To help with this problem there is an option for a vibration or noise alert. Whenever the phone registers a correct touch on the touch screen it can either vibrate or let out a noise. Inside the flip compartment is the full QWERTY key board. The key board is very spacious and the keys are individually raised and separated. Using the full QWERTY key pad was very comfortable.

The phone features a wide array of impressive features. Unfortunately it lacks Wi-Fi. One such feature is the drawing pad. It allows you to actually doodle a picture on the phones touch screen, which can be saved and sent to people stored on the contacts list. The enV Touch utilizes a USB port which many phone users desperately want on a phone. The USB port makes transferring data to and from the phone very simple and quick. The phone also features a full HTML web browser. Surfing the web is quite simple on the phone but again the touch screens odd functionality may impede some of the users out there.

The camera on this phone takes very nice photos. It features a 3.2 megapixel lens. There are a multitude of image control options such as six different resolutions, five white balance presets, three focusing modes, and much more. One of the more notable features is called Facial Makeover mode which removes all the unsightly marks and blemishes such as pimples from a persons face while taking a picture.

This phone features an amazing call quality. There is little to no interference or static during conversations. Also people on the other line will sound very clear. Similarly the speakerphone works just as well too. The caller will not sound too loud and distorted over the enV’s speaker phone.

The LG enV Touch from Verizon wireless is a good phone. It may be lacking some obvious features and its touch screen can take a while to get accustom to, but the rest of the phones features and great functions more than make up for it. Anyone looking for an affordable phone which ignorable quirks should look no further than this one.

Buyer Beware: Products that Increase Your Gas Mileage

In these uncertain times, everyone reacts differently to the continuing increases in gas prices that we have experienced over the last few weeks...and even over years. Many drivers have taken to doing anything they can to increase their gas mileage. This desire to save gas has created a market for products that claim to do just that. The companies that manufacture these products seem to have a great idea, since they know that the public is desperate to decrease their fuel usage.

The important question is, do these products really provide a big difference, or are these companies just making a quick buck off of consumers who are sick of paying so much at the pump?

Testing by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

It can be very easy for a motorist to get roped in by the very gaudy claims that the companies who make these products are making. But, do these products really provide increased gas mileage? Is there any way they can prove the claims that they have made?

Well, that usually depends on who you ask. However, the EPA, or Environmental Protection Agency, has tested a number of these types of products, and has not as yet found even one that significantly increases gas mileage. This means that the organization which is the foremost authority in fuel economy has yet to certify one of these products as being legitimate.

Do They Actually Save Gas?

That is not to say that the products do not work.

Perhaps they do provide gas mileage increases in certain vehicles, or maybe they actually increase gas mileage by a marginal amount. However, since there is no concrete evidence of such an increase from testing done by an unbiased party, so there really is no proof available yet. Again, this does not mean that the products are altogether worthless or useless. However, it is debatable whether or not you should spend your hard-earned money on these products, especially when there are very cheap (or even free) alternative ways to increase your gas mileage.

Cheap and Easy Steps You Can Take To Save Gas

For instance, you can do something as simple as put the proper amount of air in your tires, and check their air pressure regularly. I recently let just one of my tires get very low on pressure, and my fuel economy dropped by almost ten percent! This simple task will usually cost you nothing (although some gas stations may have machines that charge a quarter or two), and will help you to save some of your precious gas when you drive.

Proper tire inflation is just one simple act of maintenance that can help you to preserve your fuel.

Another cheap way for a motorist to increase fuel efficiency is to change air filters regularly. Although this costs more than most fuel economy products do, it also provides genuainely proven benefits that can be pretty substantial in regards to fuel efficiency. If you had the choice between spending some money on an unproven method, or something that is proven to work, what would you choose?

A Few More Tips to Help Save Gas

These ways of increasing fuel efficiency are only just the tip of the iceberg. You can do many simple things like avoiding packing your trunk with excess junk that increases drag and decreases fuel mileage, or making sure you use the proper grade of motor oil. Switching to synthetic motor oil can help save gas, and even simple things like avoiding the use of the air conditioning system whenever possible can provide a marked increase in fuel economy!

I recently moved and noticed that the fuel economy in my Prius, ordinarily a very fuel efficient vehicle, seemed to be suffering quite badly in a new part of the country. Then, one day I looked in the spare tire well and noticed that I had left about 50 pounds of dumbbell plates in there. I removed them and my fuel economy shot back up dramatically.

If You Want to Save Gas, Save Money at the Same Time

In short, there are just too many cheap or inexpensive ways to improve gas mileage to be able to recommend buying most of these costly products that may not work much, or even at all. With so many simple and easy ways to increase your fuel economy, why pay money for something that is not proven to work?

Natural Health Remedies, Holistic Beauty Organic Skin Care

Embracing holistic practices and natural health remedies involves a life long process of learning and experience. As more people begin to understand the philosophies behind holistic beauty and treatment practices, the awareness increases and this can lead to a lifestyle conversion.

As some of you may know, there are some very harmful chemicals used in manufacturing the most common inorganic skin care products and make-up items. Such chemicals are very easily absorbed by skin but human body can’t get rid of them. So these toxins remain inside and eventually get spread in the body causing damage throughout.

Organic skin care products provide skin the strength and treatment that it needs to defend itself against foreign attacks and disturbing conditions. Use of organic products enables skin to enhance to its greatest potential and a strengthened and healthy skin gives youth and vigor to a person. So it’s both healthy and smart to use holistic beauty products.

Organic products are a little costly when compared to inorganic products. However, it’s a small price to pay for the beauty and health of your skin. You should view it as an investment, just like how you would invest in good patio furniture covers to protect your favourite furniture, you should also protect your skin from inorganic harm. Moreover, people who use inorganic products end up spending more money on anti-ageing and skin cleansing products to correct the bad effects on their skin.

There is also some debate about what can be considered organic? Some people say that for a product to be organic even the plant that it’s derived from must be grown in a non-toxic and chemical-free environment. So you can’t simply close your eyes and trust any organic product. Make sure that the organic product you choose actually does not contain any substance that’s bad for skin.

Organic skin care is also not only about creams, lotions and ointments. We don’t always have to use all the modern products for our skin. We can even try some home-made remedies that can make our skin look healthy and beautiful. However, always try to get an expert’s advice before applying anything to your skin. Just keep one simple thing in mind, ‘don’t put anything on your skin that you would not put in your mouth’.

Another good reason to switch to holistic beauty products is that they are environment-friendly. There are no synthetic chemicals and fertilizers used in organic farming which means less water, soil and air pollution. So next time when you choose natural health remedies for your skin care, consider organic skin care product over its inorganic counterpart, not only are you being nice on yourself but you’re helping the environment also.

I'm not surprised I'm happy as I've been able to review a couple of other products from Skinn and was pleased with those as well! As its name implies, Bright Eyes diminishes the look of dark circles and tired eyes and brightens them up.

I am prone to dark circles under my eyes (especially when i am up all night writing blog posts lol!), and have tried quite a lot of products that claim to erase the darkness and fatigue around the eye area. I think this is a great product if you are looking to minimize those dark areas and imperfections around your eyes without the heaviness that a cover-up or concealer has. I don't wear any kind of foundation and found that the Bright Eyes was light enough to put on without adding any other cosmetics. It looks completely natural and appears to give my eye area a "lift". I would highly recommend this.

Bright Eyes - Eye Enhancing Treatment is $12.00 for a 7ml jar. The size of the jar is a little deceiving, while it is tiny, I think it will last me a long time.

Skinn has so many different products for your facial needs check out their website!

1. I have made it half way through the summer in sandals and way to high platforms but now my feet are through. Any tips on keeping my feet looking beautiful with a couple more months of summer left?

Summer is a hard season for the feet. This is the time of year when you are required to pull out those sky-high strappy heels and flaunt your tootsies for the world to see.

2. I am clueless when it comes to mixing eye shadows. What’s an easy way to find shades that work well together?

It can be tough trying to mix and match eyeshadow colors for the perfect look. And to achieve a put together look you really want shades that compliment each other. The easiest way is to buy an eyeshadow palette the contains several coordinating shades. That way all the guesswork is out of the way and you know for sure that the colors work well together. But even though you might have colors in a palette that work well together you have to think about if the colors work well on you. That’s where a product like CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Eye Brightening Eyeshadow Palette comes in ($7.49, covergirl.com for a retail or drugstore near you). The gorgeous collection of pressed eye powders are customized to expertly match and complement your eye color. The shade combinations ensure that you always have the best shade palette to enhance the color of your eyes, which will really pull your look together. It doesn’t get any easier then this unless they came and applied it every morning for you.

3. No matter how hard I work on my body or how much weight I lose I still have that little belly pouch. Is there any thing I can do about its appearance?

There really is no way to lose weight in only one area. By eating right and exercising you can lose weight from your frame. But your body type will determine where and how you lose the weight. I say continue to work on your BMI and aim for a healthy range. Now if that bulge still bothers you the best thing you can do is to purchase a shapewear undergarment to help make that bulge appear less noticeable. If this sounds like a good option check out Sculptz Shorts Shaper Top ($22, sculptz.com). With lots of undergarment shapewear to choose from these shorts are really affordable and effective. They hold it all in while shaping but don’t feel uncomfortable. The knit-in panels flatten your tummy, lift your rear and smoothes your hips and thighs. And if that wasn’t enough they eliminate unsightly panty lines! A must have for all your dresses, shirts and even pants. You won’t believe how smooth and shapely you will look like with these. You won’t ever want to wear your clothes without them again.

4. After reading about how many chemicals are in a lot of these beauty products I am scared to even put any lipstick on. Are there any products that are safer?

The good news about all the bad news on chemicals in our beauty products is that many companies have stepped up to the plate to offer natural and organic beauty products to consumers. Now all of the products aren’t prefect but there are some companies constantly creating high quality good for you beauty items. One company Revolution Organics makes organic body balms, skin crèmes, lip balms and lip-glosses. One of my favorite from their line is their Freedom Gloss ($26, revolutionorganics.com or qvc.com). This healthy, natural, good-for-you gloss is rich in vitamins and antioxidants to leave lips beautifully moisturized and gorgeously glossy. Formulated with 100% natural and 85% certified organic ingredients, the product delivers all the benefits of a lip treatment in a gorgeous gloss. The formula is free of chemicals, mineral oil, petroleum, artificial ingredients and parabens. Instead, Freedom Gloss uses organic plant proteins and extracts to give lips a healthy dose of antioxidants and vitamins. With ingredients like jojoba oil, aloe vera, shea butter, beeswax and olive oil this gloss is determined to leave your lips looking naturally beautiful.

The Stories Behind Curiously Named Products

WD-40John Barry, the CEO of WD-40 Company, Inc., passed away recently at the age of 84. He didn’t invent the degreaser/rust preventative, but he turned it into a household name. When Barry joined Rocket Chemical Company in 1969, one of his first orders of business was to change the name of the company. “We don’t sell rockets, we sell WD-40.” At the time, employees were selling the product out of the trunks of their cars; Barry’s name change finally identified the company with the product, and within one year sales increased to $2 million. The company posted $317 million in sales in the most recent fiscal year.

About that name…Norm Larsen, the man who concocted the formula, was trying to create a spray that repelled water and prevented corrosion. The “WD” stands for Water Displacement – the basic purpose of the product. It took Larsen many experiments and trial runs before he found the perfect formulation on the 40th attempt. So that name makes perfect sense in retrospect, and it made us wonder if other similarly-named products also had logical explanations behind their monikers…

Heinz 57 Varieties

HEINZYou’ve probably noticed the tiny pickle logo on bottles of Heinz ketchup that boasts “57 varieties.” As versatile as the company may be, they don’t actually manufacture 57 varieties of ketchup. In fact, when Henry Heinz came up with that slogan, he didn’t know off the top of his head how many different products his namesake company made (counting pickles and baby food as well as ketchup, the total was over 60 at the time). He was riding a New York train one day in 1892 and browsing at the advertising placards mounted on the ceiling. One in particular caught his eye – a store that offered “21 styles of shoes.” The idea of promoting the vastness of your product line struck Heinz as genius, and he chose the number 57 for personal reasons (those close to him at the time suspected it had to do with his interest in numerology and the occult).

Preparation H

Prep-H

Stand-up comedians and Austin Powers would have us believe that, much like WD-40, Preparations A through G were failures and H was the winning formula. However, that’s not the case. In fact, this case is far more complex, while the name is ultimately simple.

Once upon a time, there was an over-the-counter “cure-all” in a tube called Sperti Ointment. (If you’re old enough, you may remember Grandma always treating your cuts, scrapes and burns with Sperti Ointment.) George Sperti patented several inventions while still an undergrad at the University of Cincinnati, and despite tempting offers from large corporations, he remained at UC after graduation and founded a research laboratory on campus. While researching cancer treatments, Sperti discovered a cell derivative to stimulate healthy-cell growth and used it in the healing ointment that eventually bore his name. One of the main active ingredients in his formula was live yeast cell derivative, which the FDA eventually banned due to clinical testing irregularities. The ointment minus the LYCD was re-packaged as a hemorrhoid treatment called Preparation H. The H stands for hemorrhoid, supposedly a reminder for old-school consumers not to spread the gel on their chapped lips. (By the way, Canadian and European tubes of Preparation H still contain LYCD, and is the stuff that fashion models spread on their faces to avoid wrinkles and under-eye bags.)

Product 19

product-19

This toasted corn, oat, wheat and rice Kellogg’s cereal has always been promoted as being packed with multiple vitamins and minerals – perhaps a total of 19 such supplements? Nope. It was the 19th new product the company introduced to the market that year.

Absorbine Jr.

absorbine
Yes, Virginia, there really is an Absorbine Senior. Absorbine Veterinary Liniment was invented in 1892 by Wilbur Fenelon Young as a rub-down for horses to reduce swelling and stiffness after a workout. Farmers and trainers are not immune to achy muscles, so it stands to reason that they eventually tried using Absorbine on their own painful areas, despite the harsh aroma and the initial stinging when applied to the skin. Wilbur eventually caught wind that humans were using his product, so he developed a kinder, gentler (and better-smelling) version which he dubbed Absorbine Jr.

Formula 409

409When it comes to stick-to-it-ivity, that WD-40 guy has nothing on Detroit’s Morris D. Rouff. Rouff and his brothers were partners in Gem Products, a company that manufactured industrial cleaning supplies. In their search for the ultimate heavy-duty alkaline product that would be useful for industrial applications with heavy de-greasing needs, it took no less than 409 different formulations before they hit upon the perfect mix. Rouff eventually sold his industrial cleaner to Chemsol, who in turn cranked the mixture down a notch for residential use.

Can a Stranger Pick Your Beauty Products Better Than You?

Right Brain says…

This bit of science might make even a skeptic like Left Brain re-evaluate feelings about beauty product reviews. It turns out that psychologists have demonstrated strangers are more reliable predictors of what you’ll like than you are.

Science of Choice

Harvard researchers investigated women’s ability to predict how well they would enjoy a specific date. In one study, they gave some women typical online dating information like a picture & profile. Other women got no information except the opinion of a stranger who had already dated the person. It turns out, the women who got the stranger’s evaluation were better able to predict whether they would enjoy the date or not versus the one’s who got the picture & profile information.

According to the scientists,

“If you want to know how much you will enjoy an experience, you are better off knowing how much someone else enjoyed it than knowing anything about the experience itself,” says [Daniel] Gilbert. “Rather than closing our eyes and imagining the future, we should examine the experience of those who have been there.”

Beauty Reviews

So, how does this relate to beauty reviews? Well, if this research is applicable it suggests that rather than reading sales information & listening to advertisements about products, you’ll be much more satisfied if you listen to the advice of a beauty product reviewer.

Limitations

Of course, beauty product reviews have their limitations as we’ve previously discussed. But if you can find a beauty reviewer that you trust & who has similar hair, skin, or other needs as you, you’re going to be much better off if you reviewed their experience before making beauty product buying decisions.

The Beauty Brains bottom line

Although beauty reviews can sometimes be misleading, science shows that the opinion of people with experience can be a better predictor of whether you’ll like something than your own imagination.

Building the Best Beauty Supply: How to Tell the Difference between What You Need and What They Want to Sell You

osted by admin on July 27th, 2009 filed in General

It is probably that thinking of health and beauty brings vitamins, having your own beauty supply, cosmetics, natural skincare, organic foods and other health practices to mind. Your diet and exercise routines and care for your mental and physical health are important to your body as a whole. How you act and feel about yourself are undeniably determined in part by physical appearance. Over time it can even create an impact on your physical health. Make sure you understand your options to keep yourself healthy and beautiful as possible.

Health and beauty are major players in the scientific field. Here are some of the major areas within these fields:

* Protecting Health and Beauty - Beauty and health protection is anything that helps your body resist problems. This can be taking a vitamin each day to keep your body in healthy condition. It might involve the use of cosmetic natural skincare to protect from the environment. It might also include items that will protect you from free radicals which might cause skin cancer. Your emotional well being also will play a major role in health and beauty defense. Keep your stress down by watching an organic foods diet and plenty of meditation.

* Know about Natural Skincare - In recent years the popularity of natural skincare has made a major rise. This is because people have realized that some cosmetics can actually damage their skin. They learned that the best way to maintain a healthy body was to work with it using natural skincare and cosmetics. Often, these items are made from organic foods. Both topically and internally, they benefit you through vitamins. Successful health and beauty come with understanding the science behind natural skincare.

* The anti-aging keys - Anti-aging involves a wide variety of health and beauty practices. In the end, your anti-aging goal is to convince your body to act in a more youthful manner. This may mean that you will be using cosmetics or natural skincare to keep skin acting healthy. It might also mean that you take vitamins to “fool” your body into acting younger. This involves a lower occurrence of aches! You might also end up with improved memory and physical ability. Anti-aging often involves eating a diet of organic foods as well.

Your health and beauty rely on your perseverance. If you fail to pay attention to your body and physical appearance, deterioration will result. Understanding how and why your body reacts to certain health and beauty products will net you optimal results. Using the right combinations of vitamins, organic foods, cosmetics and natural skincare will get you a total form of well being.

Sienna Miller worried about her beauty

Sienna Miller is racked with insecurities about her body - she fears she’s losing her good looks as she heads towards 30. The British beauty dons a skintight leather outfit in upcoming action film “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” but admits she tries to cover up in real life.

The 27-year-old actress says, “I’m lucky I’ve got a good metabolism. I’m very grateful for that. But I’m not toned at all. I think I’ve reached an age at 27 where it’s time for me to start working out a bit. I can’t get away with it any more. I used to be quite firm and tiny and, as I hit 25, things started to change. Now I’m 27 I’m noticing more changes - bare legs at the top and back is not a pretty sight. I’m lazy and if I wear clothes, it’s hidden well. I don’t feel like a beauty icon. I get pretty insecure and have the same insecurities as everyone else - sometimes more because there is more focus put on me.” (WENN)

24th July 2009 30 Days Of Mascara: Maybelline Pulse Perfection Vibrating

My lash type: Long, slight curl, sparse
I tested: Maybelline Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara
Thoughts: As the #1 favorite mascara innovator, I knew Maybelline’s vibrating mascara would be a treat to test. However I, like Eva, was a little nervous about the idea of sticking a vibrating object near my eyes. Combine that with the fact that my early morning (afternoon, and evening for that matter) reflexes are less than cat-like, I braced myself for a messy trial. Surprisingly, the low buzzing sound didn’t startle me into dropping the wand. I’m not crazy about the way the vibrations tickles my eyes, but I am crazy about the way my eyelashes looked. Seriously, dramatically long and lush! The formula contains thickening agents, emollient waxes, and film formers to make lashes look beefier than they are, while the vibrating brush works to separate them, add definition, and ensure that the product goes on evenly for a totally clump-free look. Maybelline claims that this magic wand will make your lashes appear 13 times thicker, and 75 percent longer, which after my test run and the fact that my eyelashes were literally flapping against my sunglass lenses, I can say it sounds about right.
Best For: Anyone who wants something a little more dramatic and intense! Great if mascara is the only product you like to wear. This one doesn’t add a ton of curl so you’ll want to pair it with an eyelash curler.
Buy it At: CVS for $15.

Permanent Eyelash Extentions


Is the price really worth it?
So, quite a while ago, I stumbled across Xtreme Lashes Website:
www.extremelashes.com/CR_eyelash_extensions_pictures.axp

I've always thought that thick, long, beautiful lashes just make such a difference to the way you look, so when i checked out some of the Before and After pictures, (seriously, look at the link!) I had to have them!!!
After searching for a salon that does lash extensions, and finding hardly any, I came to one conclusion: New Zealand is a hole !

So, I chose one of the salon closest to me (like i had that much choice lol). There is one in salon in Auckland which looked really good, they specialise in eyelash extensions, but they are quite expensive. Here is the link:

http://www.cerise.co.nz/

When I turned up for my appointment, the lady asked me how I would like my lashes to look. I told her, that I would like them to be quite a bit longer and thicker but more on the natural side (I didn't want to look like I had paintbrushes growing out of my eyes!)

After hardly daring to breathe for more than one and a half hours, this is what I got:

When I first looked in the mirror I thougth ' Hmm, looks OK...'. You might not be able to tell in the picture but the lashes were applied kind of sparingly, so I had these long ones sticking out of my natural lashes, instead of it looking like I had super-long-thick lashes. But what really annoyed me, was the fact that my 'permanent' lashes didn't last nearly as long as I was told. They lasted me three days!!!!How could that be???I did everything according to the rules for the first 48 hours, you now, not getting them wet etc. I cant believe I paid $110 for that.....

Was my lash stylist just inexperienced? Or did they use a bad brand of lash extensions? They were using Marvelash, which I have never heard of, but that doesn't mean it is bad...

If you have any ideas, or have had a similar experience please comment! Just in comparison, here is a picture of my natural lashes (I'm wearing mascara):

Thanks for reading, and please comment :>)

Eyelash extension fake eyelash extension technicians

Today I wanted to tell you what a wonderful job our eyelash technicians are doing as we have only started the business recently but it is going really really well.

When I started the company and started to recieve enquiries for eyelash extensions if my partner was not close enough to do the booking herself I had to find an eyelash technician that could. After giving out a few bookings to technicians and having talks with them about what my plans were for the company I got a very welcome response.

Eyelash technicians told me that it was fairly difficult to find new clients if you didnt work in a salon as the types of advertising they were trying didnt seem to be working. They told me how they used to advertise using directories on the internet and by local newpapers and adverts in newsagents and such.

They told me that they would be greatful for any business I could put their way and would be glad to give me a reduction so I could make some money on top of every booking.

So far we have made a vast number of bookings in a very short amount of time and things are going very well, I hope to continue with this good fortune and hope to continue to aquire new fake eyelash technicians from all over the country.

Batting Longer Lashes With Innovative Eyelash Treatments

It has been said that “the eyes are the window to the soul” and that window is draped in a sea of lashes. Eyelashes are delicate and fragile. They are an integral part of the facial profile and must be treated delicately. Over time, eyelashes can become brittle, thin and fragile. These effects are especially increased with the continual use of harsh chemicals that are found in most makeup. Mascara may provide temporary enhancement to the eyelashes, but in the long run, the use of it can be harmful. Just like the hair on your head, the lashes on your eyes can be treated with conditioning agents to restore and maintain a healthy appearance.

Treating the hair follicles of your eye lashes

Hair follicles are an integral part of the skin’s structure. As the skin ages, so do the hair follicles. They lose their ability to produce and support strong hairs. Likewise, harsh factors in the environment like the sun’s UV rays, toxins and pollutants in the air can damage the skin and underlying hair follicles.

Many products on the market today are designed to address issue associated with age and the environment, such as B.Kamins Eyelash Fortifier. B.Kamins Eyelash Fortifier targets the eyelash loss problem by addressing the aging of hair follicles. It contains plant extracts and multi-vitamins that stimulate circulation in hair follicles, thus allowing the follicle to produce and support stronger, healthier hairs. B.Kamins Eyelash Fortifier actually fights aging and environmental factors that negatively influence the appearance of eyelashes over time.

Supporting the growth of new eye lashes

Protect both eyes and lashes with products like Revitalash Cosmetic Eyelash Conditioner, which is specially formulated to promote the growth of strong, healthy new lashes while enhancing the fullness of existing ones. Revitalash Cosmetic Eyelash Conditioner contains active ingredients like vitamin B5 and citric acid to stimulate growth and create a protective shield. It is so effective that even patients suffering from cancer have used it to restore lashes after chemotherapy. The average user will also enjoy the same powerful results.

Eyelash treatment for sensitive skin

For those with more sensitive skin and eyes, Talika Eyelash Conditioning Cream is an ultra-sensitive formula that is both gentle and effective. It is designed to be used morning and night for a period of 28 days; then once daily to achieve maximum results. Talika Eyelash Conditioning Cream is an excellent product for brittle lashes and those that are prone to falling out.

Finally, Neova Procyte MD Lash Factor is known for its ability to enhance the length and thickness of eyelashes. It was formulated by physicians to encourage the growth of new eyelashes while strengthening the lashes that are already there. Regular use just once daily will yield quick results with longer and thicker eyelashes.

The eyes and lashes are among the most sensitive areas on the body. They require extra special treatment and tender loving care. High-quality products such as the ones listed above are proven to heal and protect damage that has been done by age and the environment. Restore a more youthful appearance by treating your eyes and lashes carefully and only with the finest products.

44 high profile suspects nailed for black marketing kidneys, fake Gucci bags

NEW YORK - Hundreds of federal agents on both sides of the Hudson River - in Brooklyn and Jersey - raided the homes of 44 suspects targeted in the two-year probe in connection with acts of money laundering, bribery - and trafficking in black-market kidneys and fake Gucci bags.

Those nabbed include high-ranking politicians and trusted religious leaders. Federal government sources were quoted by the New York Daily News, as saying that A developer had helped them to nail down mayors, rabbis and dozens of others.

A dozen at a time, defendants were walked in with wrist and ankle shackles for arraignment in federal court in Newark on Thursday. Bail was set as high as three million dollars.

Aside from the wide-ranging political ramifications of the arrests in Jersey - shocking even in the ethics-challenged Garden State - the takedowns of five rabbis left Jewish communities in Deal, N.J. and Brooklyn reeling.

Most of the Jewish leaders busted were accused of laundering the snitch’s dirty money through their charities, which they also used to mask ill-gotten gains from the sale of fake Gucci and Prada bags.

The most outrageous arrest was that of Levy-Izhak Rosenbaum, 58, of Brooklyn, who authorities say would buy kidneys from vulnerable people in Israel for 10,000 dollars, and then sell them for 160,000 dollars.

“It is a shonda,” said one Orthodox Jewish leader, using the Yiddish word for shame.

The developer who snitched has been identified as Solomon Dwek, who was charged with defrauding a bank of millions in 2006.

Dwek apparently offered the feds to turn on rabbis - who stunningly still dealt with him even though it was well known in their community that he had been charged by the government.

Dwek told the targets he was in bankruptcy and interested in hiding his assets. He laundered three million dollars since June 2007.

Over and over, politicians and candidates solicited and accepted bribes to grease the wheels for Dwek, who claimed he needed building permits and other approvals, authorities said.

It was in the course of the money-laundering prong of the probe that the informant came across Rosenbaum, 58, who was purportedly in the real estate business but actually makes money trafficking kidneys, officials said. (ANI)

Beauty Buzz. Smith's Rosebud Salve Comes Out with First New Flavor in a Century

Rosebud-salve

The classic, multi-functional rose balm that has been a cult favorite for generations is adding a new flavor to its line after more than a century. Smith's Rosebud Salve has been a go-to beauty antidote to countless women for everything from dry cuticles to chapped skin to lip gloss. Instantly recognizable from its vintage apothecary tin, the secret of the invaluable formula has been guarded for as long as the balm has existed. But secret or not, using the powdery scented, rosy-hued balm has become an almost rite of passage for beauty-minded women everywhere; and now the timeless balm collection, including other Smith's favorites like Strawberry and Mint Lip Balm, is introducing a new addition with a boost of caffeine. Smith's has just announced that starting this month, a new flavor will start appearing on shelves called Mocha Rose, a concoction infused with cocoa and coffee beans. The company claims to have taken cues from recent beauty trends such as pout-plumping products and decided to create their own, more natural version. Sources of caffeine used in the new Mocha Rose balm, the heads at Smith's said, are the same stimulants found in coffee and chocolate that restore and plump up the skin. Mocha Rose balm comes packaged in a Smith's signature tin (with a slightly modern facelift) and is currently sold at Urban Outfitters stores.

There seems to be a crime wave afoot in California. Or make that a crime wave abreast. The perps are all women who think that just because they'd like to have bodies they weren't born with that they also get to pay for their surgery with money they didn't earn. The latest caper?

A woman in Berkeley who was just sentenced to prison for charging more than $24,000 in breast enhancement and liposuction to the credit card of a stranger in Florida. Similar cases of identity theft cosmetic surgery were reported last summer in the Bay Area (breast lift, tummy tuck) and earlier this year in Orange County (lipo, implant replacement).

EYEBROW THREADING THE WHAT WHEN AND HOW

Many women who have been getting their eyebrows waxed for many years are now turning to the old Eastern technique of threading in order to tame and shape their brows. The origins of this technique are not known for certain, there are rumors of Turkey, China, India and Arab nations being the creator, and although it is only starting to become better known in the west, it has been present in our society for decades now.

Even though it is a relatively new method of hair removal to be used in the West, it is a more comfortable and precise than waxing while retaining the same lasting results. Threading can also eliminate single hairs as well as multiple, while unlike tweezers and waxing, will also get rid of the very fine, short and barely visible hairs as well.

The art of threading involves twisting a portion of cotton thread into a double strand and then ‘woven’ into a line of the brow. This is done by the beautician holding one end of the thread in their hand and the other in their teeth, their free hand is then used to loop and twist the threads into and around the hairs and make sure the line is correct. This will make sure that the thread collects all the hairs in the section and in one quick movement will remove the hairs from the root.

Unlike waxing and depilatory creams, threading uses no chemicals or heat on the skin which prevents any ripping or irritation from occurring. The skin will be slightly red after threading but only for a few minutes. It is advised for anyone with sensitive and tender skin to use threading above any other form of hair removal due to the natural and painless technique that is used. Another benefit of this technique is that it is inexpensive, there are no costly chemicals used and it takes less than 15 minutes to complete. For people who like to remain natural and not have any harmful or strong substances involved in their beauty regimen, threading is the perfect hair removal method.

As well as having perfectly shaped and lined eye brows, there is no pain, redness, rash or irritation afterward, which can happen after other more popular forms of hair removal. When you go to get your eyebrows threaded, it is important to make sure that the beauty practitioner is skilled in the art as well as practices good hygiene. Threading is a long lasting method of hair removal and, in general, will only need to be touched up on every 3-4 weeks in order for the eye brows to remain shapely and beautiful.
