Eye shadow Tips


Brown eyes look their best with shades of coral, copper, beige, pink, and brown.

(Blue or violet eyes are best set off with shades of blue, violet, gray, sliver, and kohl.
Green eyes look lovely with shades of coral, taupe, mossy green, gold, and brown.
Hazel eyes are a mix of brown with green and gold flecks, so you can use the same complimentary shades ideal for both brown and green eyes.)


Application

Although there are many ways to apply eye shadow to create different effects, following these general application guidelines should provide nice results.

Use a light shade of shadow under the brow line.
Apply a complimentary medium shade to the main lid, and use your finger to blend where the two colors meet.
Then, apply a third darker complimentary color along the crease in the lids to add depth. Be sure to blend it in with your fingertip.

homemade face and body cream

For face and body cream which I have found that despite it’s oily ingredients it gets rid of pimples sometimes overnight, you mix 1/2 a cup of olive oil and two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar together, slowly adding two table spoons of water until it looks white (you may want to use a hand mixer) and add some essential oil.

Vegan Hair Products that might help with frizz:

Vegan Products that might help with frizz:

MOROCCANOIL RESTORATIVE HAIR MASK (made with agave oil)

Beat Frizz Tips

Here’s a tip i got from the internet,Im not sure if it really works but my friends says she uses it 30mins before taking a shower.

1) Mash 1 Avocado & mix it will w/ 1 Tblsp of Olive oil or almond oil.

2)Apply then take a shower normally.& dnt over use the SHAMPOO!


mix 1 tbs of mayo and olive oil to dry hair comd hair from root to tip for an hour make sure to use a shower cap then wash and condition hair as usual


Dry Hibiscuss leaves, mix it in coconut oil and warm the oil and apply overnight. Morning headbath should be done.


1.) take a shower with shampoo and conditioner
2.) when you get out brush your hair with a COMB
3.) then you put it in a braid or a high ponytail(when your
hair is WET)
4.)then let your hair dry then take it off the next day and it is flat and beautiful


Right after washing your heart and when it is still very wet do this:

1. comb all your hair
2. get a brush and a tight hair tie
3. brush your hair into a pony tail. Focus on the front and wet it if needed so that it is very flat
4. tie your tightly like a ballerina
5. this is optional, use an anti-frizz non-greasy cream like john friedas ‘anti-frizz weather works conidtion’ about half a teaspoon, and put it on the front hair.
6. leave it to air-dry for a minimum of 2 hours. For better results 3-4 hours.

When you untie your hair the top half will be VERY smooth and straight and the bottom half will be wavy but still wet at that point, so just let the bottom half air-dry and keep on tying it every now and then while it’s still drying but no need to tie it tight anymore.

I found this the only thing that works on my hair. Been doing this for 7 years. Oh, you still need to be living in a dry or semi-dry environment for this.


For dry frizzy hair rinse hair wit cold water. Then add a cup of olive oil and let sit for a minute and a half. Rinse throughly. Then bathe as usual.Let shampoo sit in hair for about a minute same with coditioner.


DO THIS ALL AT NIGHT BEFORE BED!

for frizzy, curly, dry hair:
-brush ur hair out before you take a shower
-before shampooing and conditining: put a quarter size amount of each ; vasaline , curling gel , and conditioner.
-mix all together in hand and massage into hair.
-it mite feel oily and thick at first but it works wonders into hair!
-leave on for 5min .
-shampoo out the mixture
-condition as regular
-rinse out everything in the COLDEST WATER SETTING!!!!
-when out of shower, COMB hair, not brush because brushing breaks ur hair which causes slit ends,
-put hair in a high, tight bun and when you wake in the morning it will still be wet
-while its still wet/damp when you wake, put in low ponytail but make sure the top is flat , put another ponytail holder in the middle of the pony and another at the end which holds down the hair at it finishes drying.


Ive just seen on the TV show The Doctors that beer will help w frizzy hair….I remember growing up that a had a close friend that also did this…will have to look more into it.


Here's something I do every night: I massage my scalp and hair with virgin coconut oil. I don't rinse it out till the next day when I shampoo again. Truly works!!!


Something I got from a website:
Home remedy for dry hair:

2. Take a cup of coconut milk and add two tablespoons of gram flour or one teaspoon of shikakai. Apply on your scalp and hair and massage gently. Rinse it out after five minutes. Follow this recipe at least once a week.

Another dry hair home remedy: The Protein Conditioner Beat one tablespoon of castor oil, one tablespoon of glycerin, a teaspoon of cider vinegar and a teaspoon of protein, plus a tablespoon of mild herbal shampoo. Apply it on scalp and leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse with clear water.

A Special Massage Oil/Toner

Get a bottle of castor oil or coconut oil. Add a teaspoon of lavender essential oil in it. Heat a little and massage it gently in your scalp at night. Rinse or shampoo it out in the morning. Follow this routine at least twice a week.
