My top 5 concealers

 These are my fav concealers in no specific order. Before picking a concealer know your skin type and like with foundations remember "Like is to like"  oil=oil water=water If your foundation is a water based your concealer should be too and if it is oil based then your concealer should be oil based as well.

1. MAC Studio Finish concealer

2. Bobbi Brown Corrector

3. MAC pro long wear

4. Hard Candy Glamoflauge

5. Maybelline Super Stay concealer

How to find your pefect foundation

 

 First you should know your skin type. Do you have oily, dry, or combination skin.

 Would you want light, medium or full coverage?

What effect would you like? Glow, matte, demi matte 

Know the texture of foundation you would like Liquid, Cream, Powder,

Read the makeup labels, If you are using an oil based foundation then use an oil based concealer as well

If you are using a water based foundation then use a water based concealer "Like speaks to like"

If your face is lighter than your body (Like myself) match the foundation to your body

You can also match your foundation to your neck, but if your neck is a different color than your body you may want to use a bronzer to warm up your face and neck area to make it one consistent flow.

If you have oily skin you may want to avoid glowy effects

If you have flawless skin you may want to avoid full coverage

If you have dry skin you may want to avoid powder foundations

How to whiten your teeth at home

 We all want beautiful nice teeth...  And don't want to pay outrageous amounts of money the dentists are charging... And the whitening teeth strips are still kind of pricey!  So I have a simple solution that most people buy when they go to the grocery store... *Talk to your dentist before doing any of this* I know the pic up top may look a little out of place.. But you will see soon why I have that pic instead of peroxide!!!

Strawberries:
 Brush your teeth like you normally would, and then brush your teeth with mashed up strawberries. Be sure to rinse your mouth of all strawberry particles because the natural sugars and acid fromthe fruit can harm your teeth if left on there for too long.

Lemons:
 Brush your teeth like you normally would,   Cut a lemon in fours and bite into it *I know it's bitter, but it helps whiten teeth* do it for like 3-5 mins... Be sure to rinse your mouth just like you did with strawberries the acid from the lemons can eat away at your enamel.

Baking soda:
 Use your favorite toothpaste and place it on your toothbrush.. Take some baking soda and place it on your toothpaste  and brush your teeth as normal...

Hydrogen Peroxide:
 You can mix baking soda and peroxide together to whiten your teeth, make it into a paste and brush your teeth as normal... I suggest that you brush your teeth again with your fav toothpaste after, try not to use something that has "whitening" agents in it.

 Now this last one is a far stretch but it works..  I'm from the hood and honestly most of my life I lived in apartments and never had a fire place.. (Yes I have also lived in the burbs and lived in houses and had fire places.. but the hood is where I am from) lol But for this you need a fire place or fire pit....

Wood Ash:
 It cannot be soft wood ash.. it has to be hard wood ash. Brushing your teeth with this too much can cause enamel damage so be carefuland I would only recommend this once a month. Wood ash contains  potassium hydroxide aka LYE  which whitens teeth!  I have never personally tried this one.. But if you have let me know how it goes!!! :)

 Avoid stains on your teeth by brushing 3 times a day and drinking light colored fluids. Avoid coffee, choclate, tea, dark sodas... etc.. If you can't avoid these things try drinking with a straw. sounds crazy but a straw helps the fluid avoid your teeh!!!! ^______^

*Vagacials*

       Taking care of the hair down there                  


Ladies I know it is not summer yet, but lots of people are taking vacations to warmer weather and want to look good in their bikinis! #TeamNoRazorBumps lol! So I just want to share an at home solution with you all , that you can do if you wax/ or shave! This is especially good for women who's pubic hair grows in curly!! If your pubic hair grows in curly you are more prone to razor bumps and ingrown hairs! :(  Sad I know! But I am here to help!!!! One way to avoid razor bumps is waxing!  Waxing  down there can be scary! I know I know! But I am pro waxing! Take a friend with you to hold your hand (She can sit by your head lol) or take some relaxing music!!! It takes your mind away for a while! You have to be very careful of the places that you go to get waxed! You want to go to a sanitary place, check out reviews of the place before you go. I won't go to a place that is just a nail salon.. I have been to places that have used the same dipstick for eyebrows over and over.. How am I sure they haven't used that dipstick on somebody's private area?? I'd rather not have somebody's cooter cat by my eye!!!!

 But lets get started to your at home vagacial!!!! These are easy steps that you can follow and some products you already have in your home! Vagacials at a spa can be costly between $70- $150!!!  You can do this at home for less than $25 (Family dollar).
 Wait about 3 days after you have waxed or shaved to do this (If you are shaving  make sure you are using a brand new blade! Always shave down there with a new blade!)
1. Cleanse the area with an antibacterial soap (Dial, Nuetrogena)
2. Make sure the area is completely dry and apply witch hazel with a clean cotton ball
3. Steam, wet a towel with hot water (to your liking) and place it on the area for 10 mins
4. Exfoliate!!! Exfoliation is key, it removes dead skin and other build up! you can use a loofa, st ives facial scrub or you can make your own sugar scrub at home with your fav lotion and sugar!
5. Treat the area! A mask that you would use for your face is fine! I like to use Queen helen's mud mask!
6. Moisturize!!! Use a very moisturizing lotion! I actually like to use a body butter.
And then you are done!!!
