red lipstick or berry colors for spring look awesome on anyone...but only if they're perfect. I use a lip brush to outline my lips then fill in the rest. they with a baby wipe run it outside the lips to catch any color that I may smeared...then dab foundation on a q-tip....(very little) and apply it around the outside of the lips so they end up looking defined and not messy.

Hey chickas,

One of the best tricks to get rid of bags under your eyes is orange lipstick. Place a little where the black is and then place your conceler and or foundation.


:D Enjoy.

My favorite beauty trick is really simple. I live in Minnesota, so about 8 months out of the year, it's very dry and cold, so my hair gets really dried out and dull. About 1-2 times a week, I put olive oil on my hair from roots to end. Depending on how bad my hair is, I leave it on anywhere from 30min- overnight. Then, I just wash and condition my hair like usual. It comes out super soft and healthy looking.

Qtips are one of the best things I have around the house for beauty mistakes. A little smudge on the eye lid, or an extra dab of mascara on the lid, it comes off well with a Qtip, with not starting all over again.

My favorite beauty trick is most useful during the hot, humid days we have here - using just a tinted foundation primer with SPF alone (no additional foundation) adds sheer color, sun protection and leaves a beautiful matte finish all day. It protects your skin and saves several steps all at once.

My all time favorite beauty trick is to make my own body scrub using sugar or coarse sea salt and a little almond or grapeseed oil. You can add drops of essential oil to give it a boost. Super easy to make and fun too!

i use this neutragena blemish treatment on what i need to cover up.
so its like a concealer and it helps with your pimples at the same time.
but before you put it on, make sure you put on plenty of lotion so your skin is hydrated,
or else the concealer alone will make your skin very dry looking. so just use a little bit and its good.

i also use either chapstick or carmex on my lips to keep them hydrated and healthy,
and when it is put on, it looks like your wearing lip gloss so you dont have to put anything else on.

You can use a tomato as facial cleanser (organic is safe). Tomatoes have a natural sunblock in their skin which can be absorbed into yours. It's inexpensive, and fun too :D. Cut it half and use the stem as handle, then you can easily use it to scrub your face. Wait about 10 minutes until you rinse your face.

Here's a link to a you tube video that explains how to use tomatoes in detail (I didn't make it).

Instead of spending money all the time on those blotting tissues for replenishing your face, when you are touching up in a public restroom(out on the town), use the toilet seat liner that you tear out in the middle and usually just throw away. So while you are sitting on the potty you can multi task and blot the sweat away on your face with the same material that they use for the blotting tissues. LOL! It may sound weird but I have heard of celebrities doing this as well!
