Round </h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Long layers that start below the chin lengthen round faces. Jennifer Lawrence’s subtle layers also help to keep her strands from falling flat. Her wispy bangs <span class="kLink" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: black !important; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">add </span><span class="kLink" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: black !important; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">body</span> as well. </div>

Oval </h4>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oval faces can look very long, so it’s best to get a <span class="kLink" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: black !important; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">hairstyle</span> that softens it. A center part like Julia Roberts’ opens up the middle of the face and draws attention away from the jawline. However, be aware that flyaways can look more pronounced with a <span class="kLink" style="color: black !important; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">center </span><span class="kLink" style="color: black !important; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">part</span>, so be sure to use a flyawayer tamer .</div>

Square face shapes can be harsh if they are not paired with a flattering hairstyle. Wearing your hair long and straight like Lea Michele’s softens the square angles, as well as her long layers and piecey bangs.</div>

We seriously have been crushing on Miley Cyrus’ new bob. It brings focus to her cheekbones and also fills in the area around her narrow chin, a feature that is very pronounced in heart face shapes. To add body, use a round brush and spritz with volumizing spray .</div>

<br />
Get in side your kitchen and make your own recipes...not for cooking, ladies, ..for your beauty treatments ! Time to ditch the expensive parlours ;)<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
1.Whip up your Shampoo!</h4>
<br />
Use lemon or apple cider vinegar as a shampoo. They have the same acidic level as <span class="kLink" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: black !important; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">your </span><span class="kLink" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: black !important; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">hair</span> so they help to rid your strands of product buildup.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://wwwcdn.dailymakeover.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/womanskincare-cropped-proto-custom_14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Make Your Own Two-In-One Rosy Tint " border="0" height="320" src="http://wwwcdn.dailymakeover.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/womanskincare-cropped-proto-custom_14.jpg" width="244" /></a>
<li> Just mix the juice of one lemon or two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into a cup of water. </li>
<li>Apply all over hair in the shower and comb through. </li>
<li>Rinse hair and then condition as usual. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
2. Two in one Rosy Tint : </h4>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
If there is only one ingredient you use, have it be beets. You can use the vegetable for a subtle pop of color on your lips and cheeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just cut a small piece of raw beet and use the juice inside. Because they are translucent, they work on any skin tone!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
3. Your own Signature Fragrance:</h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://wwwcdn.dailymakeover.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Sugar-the-best-kept-secret-in-beauty-cropped-proto-custom_14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Concoct A Sugar Exfoliator" border="0" height="320" src="http://wwwcdn.dailymakeover.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Sugar-the-best-kept-secret-in-beauty-cropped-proto-custom_14.jpg" width="244" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Who said you need an expensive fragrance? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Make your own with organic vanilla extract. Blend with any essential oil and carry in an atomizer. Use a dark bottle because it protects the liquid from the light.<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
4. Sugar Exfoliator: </h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We all know that too much sugar isn’t good to eat. But when used on the skin, it is the perfect exfoliante! </div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Lather your face with a cleanser and a handful of sugar. </div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Rub in circular motions to polish and <span class="kLink" style="color: black !important; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">smooth </span><span class="kLink" style="color: black !important; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">away</span> dirt and dead skin cells</div>

</a><h4 style="text-align: left;">
5. Avocado Masque!</h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
. We like it best in our hair because it stimulates growth and hydrates dry ends.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Just mix one mashed avocado, the yolk of an egg and a tablespoon of olive oil, </div>

Hello!<br />
<br />
We’re dying to copy <strong>Sarah Hyland</strong>‘s Grecian goddess Emmys updo, created by hairstylist <strong>John Ruggiero</strong>. And in case you are too, we got the scoop on how to recreate the look at home:<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 1: Spray each section of hair with a volumnising hair spray.<br />
<br />
Step 2: Create <span style="color: black !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="color: black !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">tight </span><span class="kLink" style="color: black !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">curls</span></span> using a curler.<br />
<br />
Step 3: Make a low bun at the occipital bone, then pin the curls loosely back into the bun.<br />
<br />
Step 4: To add a Grecian feel, take two sections from behind the ears and braid them, pinning them into the bun.<br />
<br />
Step 5: Finish with a styling spray , to keep the hair intact.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>And ..this is what you'll get! :)</strong></div>
<br />

Hello!<br />
The ingredients you find in our kitchen are natural, healthful, packed with vitamins, minerals and nourishment. Yes! A pretty good rule of thumb in terms of naturals is that<strong> if you can eat it, you can massage it into your skin</strong>. Here are some of my all time faves:<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Avocado</strong><br />
Luscious, high in vitamins C and E and a good source of essential fatty acids, avocado makes a nourishing, hydrating face masque especially great for dry or mature skin.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Mash 1/2 of a ripe avocado, adding a teaspoon of olive or sweet <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: black !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">almond </span><span class="kLink" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: black !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">oil</span></span> for extra moisture and spreadability. </li>
<li>Leave the mixture on your face for 10 to 20 minutes before rinsing off, preferably with a washcloth.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<strong>Honey</strong><br />
Keep it in your kitchen to purify pores and help eliminate blemishes and fine lines. Honey can help hydrate the skin by drawing moisture from the air like a humectant, as well as <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="color: black !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">exfoliate</span></span> without irritation or scrubbing, so even the most sensitive people can use it.<br />
Honey makes a great cleanser or mask. <br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>To use as a cleanser: Apply a small amount to damp skin and rinse well. </li>
<li>As a mask: Apply to dry skin until you can’t apply it any longer (i.e., it’s too darn sticky), leave on for 10 to 20 minutes and </li>
<li>then rinse off with damp cloth.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<strong>Lime juice</strong><br />
Fresh lime juice is a natural mild tonic astringent that removes excess oil without causing irritation or redness. The fruit’s antibiotic and antiviral properties also appear to fight the inflammation and infection linked to acne flare-ups. <br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Use straight on the skin after your cleanser or masque as a natural toner.</li>
<li> Do not rinse.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<strong>Olive oil and sugar</strong><br />Sugar is a natural alpha hydroxy acid and an excellent exfoliate. <br />
A homemade <a class="kLink" href="http://www.dailymakeover.com/trends/skin/surprising-skin-savers-you-have-in-your-kitchen/#" id="KonaLink2" style="position: static; text-decoration: underline !important;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="color: black !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">sugar </span><span class="kLink" style="color: black !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">scrub</span></span></a> will leave your skin looking and feeling soft, radiant and super smooth. Sugar is far superior to salt in that sugar has no rough edges.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li> Mix together about a 1/4 cup of brown sugar and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.</li>
<li> Rub gently in a circular motion, and rinse with warm water.</li>
<li> While still damp from your shower or bath, take some of that olive oil and massage it all over (mix in some of your favorite scent or <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="color: black !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">essential </span><span class="kLink" style="color: black !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">oil</span></span> first). </li>
<li>Olive oil is highly nourishing and makes a fantastic body moisturizer!</li>
</ul>

Well, here's a new way of making a braid , looks very complicated but actually is not. Follow the steps below and get amazing results!<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Step 1:</strong> Create volume at the crown of your head by backcombing with a <span style="font-family: Arial;">round brush.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<strong>Step 2:</strong> Spray your entire head with hair spray, , to keep volume from deflating.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 3:</strong> Grab two large pieces of hair at the temples and cross one over the other so they end up on opposite sides of the head again.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 4:</strong> Start creating a fishtail braid, making sure to add pieces from the hair that’s hanging down as you go. Continue this until all of your hair is gathered into a single ponytail.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 5:</strong> Secure the ponytail with a very thin elastic.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 6:</strong> Take a piece of hair from the back of your ponytail and wrap it around the elastic to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 7:</strong> Pin the end of the hair behind your ponytail with a <span style="font-family: Arial;">bobby pin .</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's an interesting way of wearing a bun and getting rid of the boring hairstyle you carry everyday !</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://wwwcdn.dailymakeover.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Wendy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Knotted chignon hairstyle" border="0" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-525854" height="640" src="http://wwwcdn.dailymakeover.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Wendy.jpg" title="Knotted chignon hairstyle" width="208" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Follow these 4 steps ..</div>
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Step 1:</strong> To give hair grip, spray all over with a texturizing spray or dry shampoo.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 2:</strong> Divide hair into two equal sections, like pigtails. Twist each section.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 3:</strong> Tie your two twisted pigtails into a knot at the nape of the neck. If your hair is on the longer side, tie a double knot.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 4:</strong> Tuck the loose ends under and secure with hairpins.<br />
<br />

<br />
Guess who's back ?! the Slick Back Hair look!<br />
<br />
<br />
Slicked back hair is a big trend this season, And it seems like it’s here to stay. <br />
<br />
That said, the pomade-heavy <span style="font-family: Arial;">hairstyle </span>isn’t always easy to pull off. So we were happy to see <strong>Penelope Cruz</strong> work a variation on the runway look that’s subtle enough for the real world. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><a href="http://wwwcdn.dailymakeover.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/P.Som_Post.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Peter Som Fall 2012 Fashion Show" border="0" class="size-full wp-image-525868" height="320" src="http://wwwcdn.dailymakeover.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/P.Som_Post.jpg" title="P.Som_Post" width="212" /></a>The actress went with a deep <a class="kLink" href="http://www.dailymakeover.com/trends/hair/penelope-cruz-shows-how-to-do-the-slicked-back-hair-trend/#" id="KonaLink1" style="position: static; text-decoration: underline !important;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: black !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">side </span><span class="kLink" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: black !important; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: 400; position: relative;">part</span></span></a>, but instead of using a pomade on both sides, she only slicked back one side. The look is a pulled together alternative to an updo.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>This models’ hair was slicked back on both sides of the part with natural waves falling down for a sharp contrast. This look has a sportier vibe, while Penelope’s version was perfect for the <span style="font-family: Arial;">red carpet !</span></li>
</ul>

Hello! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/cardigan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/cardigan.jpg" /></a>There are many ways of keeping it simple yet looking awesome...here are some thoughts on prepping up a simple cardigan , for a soecial evening :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Belt It:</strong> Nothing can give a potentially librarian-ish cardi more va-vavoom than cinching in the waist, and, particularly If your chosen sweater already has a little bling built in, this season we’d suggest a skinny belt. <br />
The look is modern (we’ve seen it on Rosario Dawson — love.) especially if you pick a skinny belt, and, for evening, some patent shine.<br />
And while you can match your belt to your sweater for a monochrome look, don’t be afraid to mix it up (we like deep purple with a pale gray, or silver with black).<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Brooch It:</strong> Need to kick up your cardigan’s holiday flava, and want the cinched/wrap look without the belt? Try a fab sparkly brooch — wrap the cardi like you’re going to belt it and instead secure it at the waist with a pretty pin. <br />
No need to spend a bundle ,, even a simple one would work wonders!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Balance With Some Sex Appeal:</strong> Still worried that a cardigan will be too, well, stuffy when you’d rather have some sizzle? You can look feminine and sexy in a cardigan if you like — it’s all about balance. The rule is if you’re covered up on top, you can show a little extra leg (of course, how much depends on the nature of the function — if it’s work related, keep it clean people).</div>

<br />
…pair your military inspired item with a pop of bold color or shine — since military-style pieces are usually neutral in color, a metallic skirt or, say, bright purple cami, will ensure that your look is anything but drab.<br />
<br />
…be situation appropriate. As much as you might love the military look, that <span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">zip front military skirt</span></span></span></span> might be more appropriate for Friday night than dinner at your boss’s house.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Don’t:</strong><br />…wear camouflage, unless it’s SUPER subtle or unless your under 21 — again, <br />
leave the fatigues to the real soldiers.<br />
forget that it’s not just about combat boots and cargo jackets — it’s about color too. <br />
Sand and olive are part of the trend, so if the more obvious details are all a bit much for you, <br />
consider adding a drapey sand-colored tank <span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(like this one from Bluefly)</span></span></span></span> to look totally up-to-date but not over-the-top.</div>

Hello!<br />
<br />
We all feel like rockstars about ourselves at times..well..if you wanna dress up like a rockstar too..follow these simple steps ;)<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<a href="http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/florence-machine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/florence-machine.jpg" /></a><strong>Find inspiration.</strong> Look at all the popular groups in your genre with female leads and take notes on their personal style.<br />
Look and see what elements of their style you like and can easily incorporate into your existing wardrobe.<br />
For example Courtney Love’s Hole-era style of baby doll dresses and heavy make-up was a great rock chick look. <br />
Babydoll dresses are a HUGE trend this year<br />
<br />
<br />
2. <strong>Develop a Signature Piece.</strong> <br />
Do you have a signature items that you wear everyday like stiletto heels, scarves, bright red hair, etc? <br />
If not, develop a signature item that is uniquely you that will make you and your band standout from the pack.<br />
For example, always wear the babydoll dresses with stilettos or wear it with converse hot top sneakers. <br />
Maybe rock an awesome hair cut (with a shocking color) with sweet floral dresses.<br />
Focus your energies on maintaining or building a collection of these items. Always try make sure you have one feminine and one rocker element in all of your outfits.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. <strong>Know Your Stores</strong>. Know which stores can offer you the best clothing and be LOYAL!<br />
<br />
<br />
4. <strong>Make sure you can maintain it</strong>.<br />
Until you become a star, you’ll be doing your own make-up and acting as your own personal stylist. Make sure what ever style you create can be maintain on the road and with minimum help from others.It’s important that you “own” the style, so when you become a rock star, the image carries over.</div>

Wait at least 30 minutes for the polish to dry. I like to wait an hour to remain on the safe side<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

I used striping tape, you can use trimmed Scotch tape. You’ll need four pieces for every nail.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Heart-Burst-Nail-Tutorial-Step-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Heart Burst Nail Tutorial Step 3 Be Still My Heart: Heart Burst Nail Tutorial" border="0" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61492" height="228" src="http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Heart-Burst-Nail-Tutorial-Step-3.jpg" title="Heart Burst Nail Tutorial Step 3" width="320" /></a><a href="http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Heart-Burst-Nail-Tutorial-Step-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Heart Burst Nail Tutorial Step 4 Be Still My Heart: Heart Burst Nail Tutorial" border="0" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61493" height="228" src="http://www.thebudgetfashionista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Heart-Burst-Nail-Tutorial-Step-4.jpg" title="Heart Burst Nail Tutorial Step 4" width="320" /></a><strong>Step Three</strong> Alternating every other space, paint the triangles your second color.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Step Four</strong> Wait at least 10 to 20 minutes before removing the tape. You’ll be left with this design, which is actually pretty cool. <br />

You can also use a straight pin, bobby pin or dotting tool.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />

Use a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover to clean up the cuticles.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello!</div>
Don't pack away your summer pieces just yet! With just a few simple styling tricks you can take your favorite warm-weather basics into fall (or from casual to office-friendly...or day to night!) just like Blake Lively, Alexa Chung, Brooklyn Decker and more. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<a href="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2012/GALLERY/072612-Tuxedo-Pants-400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Look of the Day photo | Tuxedo-Stripe Pants" border="0" height="320" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2012/GALLERY/072612-Tuxedo-Pants-400.jpg" title="Tuxedo-Stripe Pants" width="256" /></a>Tuxedo-Stripe Pants</h2>
Sometimes making a seasonal transition is as simple as extending your sleeve length. <span style="color: #bf1c23;">Miranda Kerr</span> wore her two-tone A.L.C. trousers with an arm-baring top, while <span style="color: #bf1c23;">Blake Lively</span> styled her <a alt="Lanvin" href="http://www.instyle.com/instyle/lookoftheday/designer/0,,lanvin,00.html" title="Lanvin"><span style="color: #bf1c23;">Lanvin</span></a> pair with a long-sleeved shirt.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<a href="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2012/GALLERY/072612-Red-Dress-400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Look of the Day photo | Red Dress" border="0" height="320" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2012/GALLERY/072612-Red-Dress-400.jpg" title="Red Dress" width="256" /></a>Red Dress </h2>
That perfect strapless red dress can span the seasons with addition of a clever cover-up. <span style="color: #bf1c23;">Charlize Theron</span> wore her <span style="color: #bf1c23;">Lanvin</span> peplum design sans topper, while <span style="color: #bf1c23;">Brooklyn Decker</span> warmed up her Katie Ermilio wrap dress with the addition of a blazer and close-toed shoes.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<a href="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2012/GALLERY/072612-Black-Shorts-400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Look of the Day photo | Black Shorts" border="0" height="320" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2012/GALLERY/072612-Black-Shorts-400.jpg" title="Black Shorts" width="256" /></a>Black Shorts </h2>
It doesn't get easier than this! Make a classic pair of black shorts winter-ready with the addition of opaque tights. <span style="color: #bf1c23;">Ginnifer Goodwin</span> and <span style="color: #bf1c23;">Alexa Chung</span> wore nearly identical outfits, with the exception of Chung's warmth-adding hosiery.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here are some tips for you to look good in the morning ! We all have our days when we might not look that bright and shining early int he day , hence , follow these steps to look your best :)</div>
<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
Prep Hair Before Bed</h2>
If your fine strands tend to look greasy the minute you open your eyes, "use a dry shampoo preventively,". Spray roots until hair feels chalky. "The powder will suck up oils as they're produced,". "Come morning, you won't have to degrease or worry about seeing powdery residues." Then you can style and go!<br />
<br />

If you want to wake up with a flat tummy, close the kitchen two hours before hitting the sack. Absolutely craving a late-night snack? Avoid anything salty. "Cut up a grapefruit and grate some fresh ginger over it.<br />
<br />
Grapefruit is hydrating, and ginger is an anti-inflammatory that has the added benefit of calming skin.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<a href="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2011/gallery/102411-Tea-400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Look of the Day photo | Pour Some Fennel Tea" border="0" height="320" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2011/gallery/102411-Tea-400.jpg" title="Pour Some Fennel Tea" width="320" /></a></div>
<h2>
Pour Some Fennel Tea </h2>
"The seeds fight gas, meaning you'll awaken less bloated,". The licorice-y flavor might take some getting used to; Slayton suggests adding a splash of lemon juice to brighten the taste.<br />
<img height="96" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2011/gallery/102411-Tea-400.jpg" style="filter: alpha(opacity=30); left: 518px; opacity: 0.3; position: absolute; top: 632px;" width="96" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Cleanse, Rinse, Repeat</h2>
To prevent smudgy raccoon eyes, wash twice in the evening. "First, use a milky cleanser to remove makeup,. "To make sure there's nothing left behind, follow with a gel cleanser," which eliminates oily residue.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Stick a Bandage On It</h2>
You may not want to smother a zit with makeup, but hydrocortisone? "Go for it!"<br />
<br />
. Before bed, slather on the anti-inflammatory cream, then seal it in with a waterproof bandage. "This intensifies the potency, so the next morning the pimple will be smaller and less red. It's nearly as effective as getting a steroid injection."</div>

<div class="subsect">

<span class="bold"><strong>WHY IT WORKS</strong></span> This two-tone look subtly contours the mouth, . A darker shade around the periphery adds definition, while a slightly softer tone in the center reflects light and creates the illusion of fuller, juicier lips. The key is to use two shades in the same color family "They should gradually fade into each other for an ombré effect." <br /><span class="bold"></span><br />
<span class="bold"><strong>HOW-TO</strong></span> Puckey used a firm brush to precisely apply a deep carnation hue along de Ravin's lip line, then blended it toward the center. Next, brush a paler bubblegum pink into the middle of the top and bottom lips.<br />

Hello!<br />
<em></em><br />
Headbands back into the mainstream—and seeing them on every teenager made us weary of them once again. But stars like Michelle Williams, Alexa Chung and Charlize Theron are wearing headbands on the red carpet in innovative, irresistible ways. Get inspired to try the look this spring!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Dress Up a Pixie </h2>
If your hair is short, the right headband is an easy way to make it glamorous. Choose one that’s slim and lies flat against the head, like <b>Michelle Williams</b> and <b>Evan Rachel Wood</b>. Chunky details like flowers or bows can be <br />
overpowering. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<a href="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2012/GALLERY/030612-headbands-2-400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Look of the Day photo | Try a Floppy Bow" border="0" height="320" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2012/GALLERY/030612-headbands-2-400.jpg" title="Try a Floppy Bow" width="256" /></a>Try a Floppy Bow </h2>
Dig a ribbon from your wrapping paper stash and try this easy look: <br />
Cut a piece long enough to wrap around your head twice. Position it at the base of your neck, pull the sides up behind your ears and tie in a loose bow. <br />
Twist the bow off to one side for an irresistibly adorable look like <b>Zooey Deschanel</b> and <b>Jessica Capshaw</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

A skinny headband makes a sophisticated statement. <br />
Take a tip from <b>Ginnifer Goodwin </b>and <b>Busy Phillips</b> and opt for one in neutral tones like gold, ivory or silver, and be sure that it fits snugly. <br />
<br />

Hello!<br />
<br />
Your boldest accessory isn't sitting in your closet—it's perched right on your face. These three eyebrow makeovers are as easy as one, two, tweeze! <br />

</a>Define your Arches! <br />
Extra definition like <b>Camilla Belle</b>'s will give your face an instant lift, and open up eyes. Find your natural arch by placing a finger above the outer half of your brow and lifting up the skin.<br />
<br />
"Your arch should be where your brow naturally bends. Fill in your brows with a pencil, then pluck one row of hairs from the bottom, following your natural shape. Brush hairs upward with brow gel or clear mascara to hold and enhance the look.<br />

<div class="subsect">
</div>
Take note of <b>Mary-Kate Olsen</b>'s bold brows. "Thick brows make your face look more youthful and can frame your eyes better.<br />
<br />
Thicker arches work best on natural brows, so let all hairs grow in for three to four weeks before having a pro shape them. <br />
<br />
To fake fuller brows in the meantime, dip an angled brush into a matte shadow in a matching shade, or use a pencil to fill in large gaps. <br />
"Be sure to apply in short, light strokes, and follow your current shape for the most natural look.<br />
<br />

<div class="subsect">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span> </div>
Made a major hair-color change like <b>Drew Barrymore</b>? Consider altering your brow hue with a tinted brow gel—it'll coat each hair and "look more natural than powder or pencil, which can sit on skin.<br />
<br />
If you're after a longer-lasting hue, think twice before experimenting at home. It can be risky to use permanent dye so close to your eyes, and it's tricky to get the color just right. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ageing is a very natural process that everyone on their lives goes through . However, many of us try and fight it , in order to look younger ...but in the process we sometimes end up making it look even more evident. Here are a few myths about ageing that every woman must know.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Be comfortable with what you are and how your skin looks :) </div>
<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
1. MYTH: Peeling Face=Stop Retinoids.</h2>
<b>REALITY</b>: The irritation many people feel when they add these vitamin A-based creams to their regimen are "all part of the process," To see results, you have to persist. If it's too uncomfortable, he suggests using a retinoid every third night. After two weeks, go to every second night, then every night. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
2. MYTH: SPF only matters on the face.</h2>
<b>REALITY</b>: If you don't protect your neck now with SPF, prepare to be covering up in your 50s. The same age-fighting ingredients you put on your face can also be applied below the chin, but be careful with retinol and acids. "The skin on the neck is more sensitive , it is advised that you use retinol on this fragile area no more than two or three times a week.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
3. MYTH: If makeup has SPF, you're safe.</h2>
<b>REALITY</b>: Unless you are slathering yourself in foundation, your coverage is inadequate. it is recommended wearing at least a teaspoonful of sunscreen on your face every day. Protecting your skin from the sun lets the repair enzymes shift from defending skin to healing it. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
4. MYTH: With age, add more foundation.</h2>
<b>REALITY</b>: Actually, the reverse is true. As you age, base tends to settle into wrinkles and lines, which makes skin look duller. This is especially problematic for women over 40, who have already lost some luminosity as the turn-over rate of their skin cells has slowed. Instead, apply a lightweight tinted moisturizer in place of a heavy foundation. See a dermatologist to fix the uneven skin tone that you're tempted to cover up.</div>

Hello!<br />
<br />
Makeup blunders do happen a lot ... and sometimes we might not have the right solutions for them ! <br />
<br />
Well, here are a few makeup blunders along with their solutions.. try them out, they will definitely work and can be pretty helpful too! :)<br />
<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
<a href="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2011/gallery/011112-beauty-problems-1-400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" id="currentimage" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2011/gallery/011112-beauty-problems-1-400.jpg" width="160" /></a></h2>
<h2>
My makeup brushes ruin in no time! </h2>
You might not be cleaning them often enough. Letting brushes sit with product on them for too long can permanently damage the bristles. Washing them once a month with dish detergent, which breaks down the oils and pigments that build up in the hairs. How you dry your brushes is critical too. After a rinse, lay them flat on a paper towel. "If you put them upright in a cup, water can seep into the base and rot the brush.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Concealer for dark circles is cakey!</h2>
Piling on a heavy cream concealer isn't the way to go. "Liquid formulas absorb more easily under the eyes and cover circles without caking,". Go for an opaque fluid with a peach base, which will help counteract the blue-gray tones. Still seeing shadows? Try a dusting of fine, light-reflecting powder over concealer to brighten. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
<a href="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2011/gallery/011112-beauty-problems-3-400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Look of the Day photo | That icky white film from lipgloss!" border="0" height="200" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2011/gallery/011112-beauty-problems-3-400.jpg" title="That icky white film from lipgloss!" width="160" /></a>That icky white film from lipgloss! </h2>
It's when lips are dry and flaky that particles can get trapped in the creases and create a gunky coating. Exfoliate your pucker with a washcloth before applying gloss. You can also run a cotton swab along the inside of lips to remove the film. Or switch to a glossy balm.It gives the same shiny look but no residue." <br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Hair grows quickly after shaving!</h2>
Sometimes tiny hairs get trapped under the skin's surface by dead cells. A light scrub with a loofah before shaving will exfoliate and free hidden hairs so you can remove them in one clean sweep. If you get prickly hairs, use a moisturizer with urea or glycerin , to soften and help them lay flat.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<a href="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2011/gallery/011112-beauty-problems-5-400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Look of the Day photo | I get mascara on my eyelids!" border="0" height="200" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2011/gallery/011112-beauty-problems-5-400.jpg" title="I get mascara on my eyelids!" width="160" /></a>I get mascara on my eyelids! </h2>
That's because mascara can break down when it comes in contact with oils on your skin, leaving telltale spots. If you don't plan on wearing eye shadow, try this: Before coating lashes, create a matte canvas on lids with primer, then top it with a translucent powder. Look for ones with silica which "absorbs oil like nothing else. <br />
<br />
<br />

Hello!<br />
<br />
Pimples…they come at the best of times, don’t you think so? Usually when you have a big event coming up, or you’re sleeping over at your man’s and you wake up with some rather unflattering red bumps. In either case, pimples are a nuisance and we need to put a stop to them NOW!<br />
<br />
Here are 5 ways to get rid of a pesky pimple…stat!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Benzyol Peroxide</strong> <br />
<br />
…is my best friend! I carry this little tube of miracles in my bag all the time. Just apply to the pimple and it will greatly reduce the size and redness in no time.<br />

<br />
Ok, so I’ve been watching Glee too much, but ice is actually a great way to reduce those massive surprise pimples. Just put some ice in a baggy and hold it against the pimple for about 10 minutes. This is actually called <span style="color: #d42594;">freezing a pimple</span>..<br />

This trick is as old as they get, but just make sure you use white toothpaste and not the blue, swirly kind because it won’t work as well. Usually the toothpaste on the pimple trick works best when you apply it at night and sleep on it…it’ll dry it right out!<br />

<strong>Drying Cream</strong> <br />
<br />
It works miracles. Not only is this cream a lifesaver when it comes to minimizing pimples in record time, but it also works amazingly as a pimple concealer. So you can wear it underneath your foundation, making it almost non-existant, while it is doing its job of drying out the pimple…genius!<br />

<br />
Tea bags are another excellent way to reduce the size and redness of a pimple. Just boil some water, dip a tea bag in it (green tea works best), let it steep, and apply the tea bag to the pimple.</div>
