Beauty University- How to make your hair grow faster

Hello ladies, Convinced your hair won't grow? Do you swear that it was "the same length last year?" Here are some tips and tricks on how to get your locks to start running towards your Jimmy Choos!

Try prenatal vitamins
Most prenatal vitamins contain biotin (along with iron and folic acid), which promotes healthy hair growth. It will not only help your hair grow longer faster, but your skin and nails will gain the benefits too. Of course, it is best to consult your doctor before taking a new type of vitamin supplement.
Stick to healthy hair diet
Whole grains along with foods rich in calcium all promote hair growth. Cysteine is also a huge helper. Cysteine is found in foods including poultry, eggs, red peppers, garlic, onions, Brussels spouts, yogurt, oatmeal, and broccoli. If you prefer to stay away from supplements like the ones mentioned above, you can get your biotin from nuts (especially almonds and peanuts) egg yolks, soybeans, and fish.
Indulge in a scalp massage
Whenever you’re shampooing or rinsing your hair, try massaging your head with your fingertips to stimulate hair growth.
True or False "Trimming my ends every 6-8 weeks helps hairgrowth" False
Research revealed that tip to be completely false. Since hair grows out of the scalp, trimming the ends will not affect its growth. Trimming the ends however, DOES help maintain long hair. Since your ends are a sure indication of what your roots once were (all the bleach and dye one on top of another) and they are now trying to "grow away", trimming your ends will keep the breakage from continuing up and will make your hair look healthier. Keep in mind that as you trim, you are trimming layers upon layers of treated hair, so that whole "I keep trimming it and then it won't grow any longer" theory is wrong. It is growing, you just can't see the length until you get rid of all the bad ends :) Happy growing, post signature

Amazing beauty benefits of honey + DIY

Legenda kaže da je Kleopatra koristila med u svojim ritualima ljepote. Med je prirodni antibakterijski preparat, super je za uklanjanje i prevenciju akni.Pun je antioksidanata koji su dobri za usporavanje starenja.Izuzetno vlaži i smiruje kožu.
Čišćenje lica
Med je dobar za uklanjanje ostatka šminke, pogotovo kad se pomiješa s blagim uljem. Kombinirajte med i ulje jojobe ili kokosa, da se formira u lijepu teksturu, kojom ćete lakše ukloniti višak šminke. Utrljajte u kožu, izbjegavajući područje oko očiju. Isperite toplom vodom.
Akne
Pomiješajte žlicu meda i čajnu žličicu cimeta, te nanesite na mjesta gdje se nalaze prištići. Isperite nakon 15-20 minuta.

Podočnjaci i ožiljci
Med izbjeljuje podočnjake, jedna žličica meda bit će dovoljna. Isperite nakon 20 minuta. Ponavljajte to dva puta tjedno dok Vaši podočnjaci ne počinju nestajati. Redovito korištenje meda na zahvaćena područja može dramatično izblijediti stare i nove ožiljke.
Regenerator
Hidratantna svojstva meda omekšavaju i čine Vašu kosu prekrasnom. Također daje i sjaj. Jedna žlica meda i 2 žličice ekstra djevičanskog maslinovog ulja pomiješati. Nanijeti ravnomjerno na kosu. Ostaviti da djeluje 20-30 minuta te isprati.
Nokti
Med učvršćuje nokte i omekšava kožicu oko noktiju. Žličicu meda pomiješati sa žlicom jabučnog octa. Nanijeti na nokte i kožicu, isprati nakon 10 min.
Losion za tijelo Pomiješajte žlicu meda sa žličicom maslinovog ulja i iscijediti sok od limuna. Nanesite ovu smjesu na suhu područja i neka odstoji 20 minuta. Obrišite mokrim ručnikom.
Kleopatrina kupka
U kupku dodajte ¼ šalice meda s 2 šalice mlijeka i nekoliko kapi eteričnog ulja po izboru. Opustite se i uživajte !

L'Oreal Miss Manga mascara - first impression

Na nedavno održanom Beauty Blog Day-u 2014, od sponzora smo dobile poklončiće među kojima je bila i L'Orealova nova maskara Miss Manga - mega volume

Prednosti proizvoda - " ultra voluminizirane trepavice, 2 x otvoreniji izgled, pomična četkica 360°, ima široku bazu kako bi zahvatila svaku pojedinačnu gornju trepavicu i tanki vrh četkice kako bi se dodatno naglasile sitne donje trepavice. Fleksibilnost četkice omogućuje da svaka trepavica bude obavijena intenzivno crnom formulom, voluminizirana od korijena do vrhova "

Počet ću od pakiranja jer sam vizualni tip i inače me uvijek prvo privuče izgled pakiranja :) stvarno je slatko, crno u kombinaciji sa metalic rozom ne može se pogriješiti ! Što se tiče četkice, na prvu sam bila dosta skeptična, ali me ugodna iznenadila. Daje volumen trepavicama, otvara pogled, doslovce daje taj Manga look. Jedina stvar koja mi se ne sviđa je to da kod dva nanosa maskare, moje trepavice su se spojile, dok kod jednog nanosa su ostale lijepo razdvojene. Plus ove maskare je da se ne razmazuje, ne trusi se i lako se skida.

Na slici 1. i 2. su dva sloja maskare, na slici 3. i 4. jedan sloj.

Iskreno, meni se više sviđa s jednim slojem, daje prirodni izgled trepavica.
Da li ste isprobale Miss Manga maskaru? Kakva su Vaša mišljenja?

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Review

Hello Ladies, I'm sure you are all familiar with this lipstick by now. It's everywhere in stores and on T.V. I admit at first I thought, OK, looks cool. But I'm not a huge lipstick person because, honestly, most of the time I just eat it off! But when I tried this on in the store and spent the rest of the day running errands and even going to work, not thinking about the lipstick, I got home at night and saw it was still on my lips! I was shocked! It's lasted ALL day?! So I thought, since I'm leaving for NY on Monday, I'll buy one there, then I saw that Boots London has a waiting list for these lipsticks! They are in such high demand that there is an actual waiting list! I HAD to have one. So I walked into DM and bought one while still on sale. If you don't know yet, they are 20% off during all of March in basically all the stores that sell them. So here is my review and swatches of the color I chose:

This lipstick is definitely number one on my list right now. Its light and creamy and goes on smoothly. As soon as you pit it on, it dries and matifies. The applicator is perfect! Its small and precise and it easily acts as a lip liner too because of the pointed edge. It has the feel of a lip-gloss but the look and power of a lipstick. This was perfect for me! No more eating my lipstick off. The color I purchased is 04-Peach Club:)

All in all ladies, you gotta try this stuff. I am absolutely obsessed<3 It has truly made me a believer of lipstick again.
Love, post signature

Beauty University- What are your breakouts telling you?

Acne. The dreaded word that no girl even wants to hear. As much as we try to prevent it, from time to time we can't help getting some spots here or there. What most of us don't know, however, is that many of these spots are due to specific things we do, eat or go through. So what is your acne trying to tell you?

The chart

Forehead. Breakouts across the forehead are often triggered by stress or sleep deprivation. Make sure you get at least 8 hours of sleep a night to prevent these.
Above the brow. The area above your eyebrows is affected by your immune system. Breakouts here tend to happen right around the time you get or have a flu or a cold. If you notice a breakout in this zone, drink plenty of water and eat lots if fruits to boost you immune system overnight!
Between brows. Breakouts between your eyebrows can be caused by lots of unhealthy foods or a food allergy. Cut back on sugar, dairy and alcohol to help clear up the skin in this zone.
Cheeks. Your cheeks are linked to your respiratory system. Smoking or breathing polluted air can cause breakouts here.
Side of chin. The sides of your chin are affected by hormones. Breakouts here occur during your period and happen on one side or another depending on which ovary is ovulating that month. If you have constant acne in these spots, it would be best to check with your gynecologist as you may have PCOS.

So now that we know, it is still very important to ensure a good cleaning regimen. Make sure to wash your face in the morning and at night. The worst thing you can do is go to sleep with makeup on. I know most of us come home after a long night out with the "I don't feel like washing my face now" mentality. But, in reality, this is where acne starts to grow. Keeping your pores filled with makeup all night is food to the little butts we call pimples, so make sure you always go to bed with a freshly cleaned face!

Lots a Love,

10 Ways to use olive oil for beauty

* izvor internet Maslinovo ulje nije korisno samo u kuhinji, možete ga koristiti na Vašoj koži, kosi, nogama i noktima. Za predivan kozmetički tretman kod kuće treba Vam djevičansko maslinovo ulje i par kapi eteričnog ulja po izboru za bolji miris. Koža

Za akne, napravite smjesu od 4 žlice soli i 3 žlice maslinovog ulja. Smjesu ulijte na ruke i utrljavajte na lice kroz dvije do tri minute, a zatim isperite mlakom vodom. Činite to svakodnevno kroz tjedna dana, a zatim smanjite na dva puta tjedno. Kroz neko vrijeme primijetit ćete kako vam se lice oporavlja od akni.
