Makeup and Hair For Lazy Days

Posted on August 2, 2013 by Peppergum01

Have you ever woken up and didn’t feel like doing much but had places to go? If so, this will explain how to do makeup for lazy days. You will probably wake up with dark under eye circles. Just use a little bit of concealer to brighten up your eyes. Blend it in with clean fingers. Instead of wearing foundation, wear BB cream. This will give you a little bit of coverage but still feel light and you can quickly blend it in with your hands. Afterwards, just set it with powder.

Now you may not have time for eyeshadow. Just add a bronze cream shadow. It doesn’t take long and it look great. For eyeliner, you probably won’t have time to make a perfect line. Just put some pencil liner on your waterline. Now it’s time for mascara. Just use a waterproof mascara so it won’t smudge during the day. Apply some quick lip gloss and you’re good to go. You can skip the eyeshadow, it’s optional.

Now that you have your makeup, it’s time for the hair. There are two quick hairstyles you can do. The first one is just a messy bun. Just grab a hair elastic and tie your hair into a bun. Then pull out some hair to make it look volumized and messier.

The second hair style is just a side braid. Part your hair to the side, braid it, and add a headband or accessory to finish the look. Now you are ready for those lazy days, when you don’t feel like doing much but still want to look okay.

Removing Makeup

Posted on August 2, 2013 by Peppergum01

Sometimes if you’re wearing waterproof makeup, it can be hard to take off. If you get the right makeup remover, it’ll be a piece of cake. Never sleep in your makeup, it clogs pores and your skin needs to breathe at night when you go to sleep. Sometimes if you go to sleep in your makeup, you break out in the morning. It depends on what skin type you have. Whether you have oily, dry, or sensitive skin, it’s always good to take all your makeup off and letting yourself relax.

If you don’t have any makeup remover lying around, you can use extra virgin olive oil which works too. There are many ways to take your makeup off. Find one that works for you the best. If you are thinking of getting makeup remove, you can choose from many different kinds. There are makeup removing wipes, liquids, and lotions. Some that work well are from Clinique, Sephora, Lancome, and Neutrogena.

Some people use just plain soap and water to remove their makeup. This can work but if it gets in your eyes it can really sting. The less makeup you wear, the easier it will be to take off. If it takes you an hour to take your makeup off at night, then maybe you should wear something less heavy and easier to take off when needed.

You can buy makeup remover at your local store or on Amazon: Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes, Refill Pack, 25 CountNeutrogena Eye Makeup Remover, Oil-Free, 5.5 oz.Mary Kay Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover,3.75 fl. oz.Almay Oil-free Eye Makeup Remover Pads, 80 PadsNEUTROGENA Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes, 114 Towelettes

Protecting Your Hair

Posted on August 2, 2013 by Peppergum01

Many people have a hard time protecting their hair from getting dry and having lots of split ends. These are some tips on how to protect your from getting damaged. Your hair may have a lot of split ends if you put heat on it without using any heat protectant. There are many great heat protectant sprays out there. Remember to always spray it on before straightening, curling, or blow drying your hair.

There are also lots of conditioners out there to keep your hair soft and silky. To have healthy hair, it’s good to be eating healthy too. A good heat protectant that I would recommend is the Tresemme Heat Tamer Spray. Before applying heat to your hair, you must spray this all over. Even in the spots that you think you won’t apply heat. Brush it out afterwards to evenly distribute it throughout your hair.

If you already have split ends, it’s a good idea to get them trimmed. Getting your hair trimmed every few months can help keep it healthy. If you’re going to put your curling iron, flat iron, or blow dryer on the highest setting make sure it’s not damaging your hair. This works differently, depending what type of hair you have. Just do  what is best for your hair to keep it healthy.

You can buy heat protecting spray at your local store or on Amazon:

TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Protective Spray 8 fl oz (236 ml)CHI by CHI 44 IRON GUARD THERMAL PROTECTING SPRAY 8.5 OZAussie Heat Protecting Shine Spray, 8.5 OzAlterna Bamboo Smooth Anti-Breakage Thermal Protectant Spray for Unisex, 4.2 OunceTresemme Platinum Strength Heat Protect Spray, 8 OunceTresemme Keratin Smooth Infusing Heat Protection and Shine Spray, 8 Ounce

Three Quick Easy Hairstyles

Posted on August 2, 2013 by Peppergum01


If you’re ever in a hurry and just want to quickly do something with your hair, these hairstyles will be perfect for those days.
For the first hairstyle, all you need are two bobby pins. Take a section of hair on the left side of your head, and pin it up. Take a section of hair on the right side of your head and pin it up. Make sure the two bobby pins look like an x together now. Now you should have a really nice half up do. This gets your bangs out of your face.

For the next hairstyle, you will need two hair ties. First take your hair and put it up in a high ponytail. Once it’s up in that high ponytail, take it and wrap it around into a bun. If there’s any hair left, just braid it and bobby pin it to the side.
And now for your last hairstyle, you only need a hair tie and a bobby pin. Now take your hair and part it all to one side. Then put into a low ponytail. Take a small chunk of hair and wrap it around your hair tie. Then bobby pin it in place. Your hairstyle is finished.

Those are all great hairstyles to do when you’re late and don’t have much time.

Back To School Supplies

Posted on August 1, 2013 by Peppergum01

 

When going shopping for back to school supplies,  you’re not always sure what to get. Usually there will be lists for the supplies you will need. If not, then just get what you know you will probably be using. Firstly, you will need a bag, of course. You can get a two strap bag with many different designs. There are also one strap messenger bags and over the shoulder bags. Find the most comfortable bag for you. Then, it’s good to have something to keep some important supplies in such as pencils, pens, erasers, highlighters, etc. You can get either a pencil box or a small pencil bag.

Get something you know will be easy to use. When choosing pencils, you can get number two pencils and some mechanical pencils. Get some big erasers too, you never know when you need them. You can choose between crayons or colored pencils, or even both. Get a pencil sharpener for just in case. You can take a glue bottle or a glue stick with you. Make sure to buy some highlighters too. Those are most of the small things you’ll need to put in your pencil case.

Now get some notebooks. A good amount to get is seven to ten notebooks. If you think it’s too much, you can leave some at home for when you run out of paper in your notebooks at school. Also, get folders. You can keep important papers that you don’t want to lose, safer. If you want to organize things, you can get a binder. Just get enough of what you need to last you throughout most of the school year.

There is much more to get but these are the main things you probably need for school. It helps to take a list with you and check things off as you go. The rest is up to you.

You can get school supplies at your local store or on Amazon:

Wii Game Review: Animal Crossing City Folk

Posted on August 1, 2013 by Peppergum01

Animal Crossing City Folk is a fun life stimulation game. This game is for all ages and can be played with other people around the world. It has holidays and birthdays. In the beginning, you start out in a bus on your way to a town. You get to name the town and answer some questions. Once you get to the town, you must find a house. You have to do some tasks before being able to roam around and do what you choose. After you finish your tasks, you are free to start exploring your town more and find out more about your animal friends and neighbors.

You send and recieve letters. You also have your own town native fruit but by sending your town fruit to other neighbors, you can also recieve fruit from other people that aren’t growing in your town yet. Flowers die if you don’t water them and the grass changes color depending on the season. You can cut down trees to make room if you choose to. If you go to the bus stop, you can go to to the city. In the city, there are expensive stores and you can change your hair or get a makeover. Sometimes there will be other events going on too.

In your town, if you go to the gates you can look and see if anyone has passed by. You can add people by putting in their friend code and having them do the same. Once you’ve added someone, if you open your gates, they can come visit your town. However, if you add the wrong people, they can sometimes steal things or destroy your town by cutting down trees and running over the grass. You can type using a keyboard or talk to them using wiispeak.

Here is a video review of this game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70rHMQ9LXH4

Waterproof Makeup

Posted on August 1, 2013 by Peppergum01

Smashbox Waterproof Pro Second Skin Concealer in Lightstila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, Intense BlackSmashbox Waterproof Pro Second Skin Concealer in Lightstila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, Intense Black

When you’re going to the pool or the beach, it can be difficult to keep your makeup on. It doesn’t always last. The sun is out and you will probably be swimming a lot. So you don’t really need much, just enough but not too much. Before getting started it’s good to prime your face with face primer. This will keep it lasting longer. Afterwards, instead of using foundation, you can use tinted moisturizer with some SPF. This will moisturize your face, give you some coverage, and keep your face protected from the sun. Sun burns are not fun. Then, you can set it with some powder to make it less oily or dewy. If you want to wear blush, you can always wear a cream blush with it. Many people also like to wear bronzer in the summer to give them a tan glow. This part is completely optional.

Now it’s time for the eye makeup. Make sure to put eye primer on first. Then if you want, you can add cream eyeshadow. The Maybelline Tattoo eyeshadows work well and stay on for a long time. You can add a little bit of pencil eyeliner or gel liner to your lash line. Make sure it’s waterproof. Next, coat your lashes with a waterproof mascara. To finish off, just apply some lip balm to keep your lips moisturized. Now you’re good to go.

You can change this look up as much as you want. For the hair, beach waves would look nice with it.

The products for this look can be found on amazon:

Contact Lenses

Posted on August 1, 2013 by Peppergum01

Tired of wearing glasses? Try wearing contact lenses. A contact lens is a thin lens you place on the surface of the eye. Contacts can be worn to correct vision or make your eyes look a different color. There are many different kinds of contacts to choose from. There are the daily, weekly, monthly, etc. If you choose to wear daily contacts, this means by the end of the day when you finish using them, you throw them out. This will cause you to be less likely to get an eye infection. However, choosing this is much more pricey.

Another option is to wear weekly or monthly contacts which you must clean and keep in a special case. If you don’t clean your contact lenses, you can get an eye infection which can be very irritating. Your eye doctor will tell you how to clean and take care of your contacts. When you first put your contacts on, it can be very tricky. Especially if you have sensitive eyes.

There are many different ways to put contacts in. I suggest to do what is most comfortable for you. Always remember to wash your hands before touching your eyes and putting contacts in. First put your contact on the finger you are most comfortable with using. Make sure your contact isn’t inside out. If there’s any dust on your contact, make sure to clean it with solution. Now use your index finger of the opposite hand. Gently pull your upper eyelid upward and lower eyelid downward. Gently place the contact on your eye and try not to blink. For some people it helps to look up or to the side.

After a long day of wearing your contacts, it’s time to take them out. Pull your upper eyelid upward and lower eyelid downward, just as you did to put them in. Now take your index finger and thumb and pinch your contact out. If you do this correctly, it shouldn’t hurt. If you keep your contacts in a case, remember to clean it morning and night and replace your solution. If you’ve just started wearing contacts, it’s better to start out by only wearing them six hours. When you get more comfortable with your contacts, you can wear them longer.

Here is a video that may help you:
