5 Minute Summer Makeup Tips

Summer is around the corner. Time to get try on cute outfits, hit the beach and have a good time. Before we go out, here are a few simple summer make up tips all under five minutes to complete your summer look.

• Highlight the good parts: Compliment you nose, the top of each cheekbone and your cupid bow which is the indentation between your nose and mouth with a dust highlighter. Your features will stand out especially under the sun giving you that beautiful glow. Try L'Oreal Paris True Match Naturale Mineral Glow for a highlighting effect.                 

• Concealer is your best friend: Fake your foundation with a concealer that is one shade lighter than you face and has light illuminating effects to it. Blend some of it in the inner corners of your eyes (dont do this is you have crow's feet) and on dark under-eye skin. Pat on red spots on your chin and nose and look flawless!

• Brush up your eyebrows: Eyebrows frame the face, so try brush them to give your face a lift.Use a spooley brush to sweep up your brow hairs towards the hairline. Spray a little hairspray on your brush so that they can stay in place all day.                

• Bronze Away: This is the key to that sun kissed glow celebrities have . Bronzer will make your skin look bright and vibrant. It also makes you eyes and teeth look brighter so swirl on a powder bronzer in circular motions and get that happy glow. 

• Make the most of your makeup: In just a pinch, use any shimmer free peachy or pink lipstick can be used as cream blush. If you run out of blush try your shimmer free lipstick....and look good.

Drink More Water

Summer is coming up, we need to increase our water intake. We can get so busy and forget to drink or eat and pee too? All of this is not good for you so if you know that this is you then you need to hit the water cooler and drink away. Dehyration affects the body a lot more than we think even if it is mild. Mild dehyradtion is the kind where you don't even feel thirsty . According to experts, mild dehydration which is caused by drinkoing less  water can alter our moods , concetration and increase the levels of fatigue. If you find you are irritable and tired lately, then you need to drink more water. There is alot of  controversy on how much you should drink in a day but a simple way to calculate it is by divide you body weight by 2 and the figure you get is the amount of ounces you should drink. For example if you weigh 150bs, divide 150/2  which is 75. You should be drinking about 75 ounces and nothing less than that. 

To increase you water intake you can do the following:

Purchase one of these cute water bottles: Carry them around with you from work, in the gym and that way you can remember to drink your water and even rememeber to refill it.

Drink Tea: Making a hot cup of tea in the morning is a great way to increase your water intake without increasing calories. Try some green tea, herbal tea or ayurdervic tea.

Eat fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables contain alot of water so by consuming them you are increasing your water intake. Fruits like watermelons, tomatoes, grapefruits can be added to you diet all have about 90% of water. 

Best Body Scrub Exfoliator: Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub

I purchased this body scrub about year from Walmart for about $6.99 and have been using since then. By far i have an honest review of this product and all i can say is amazing. It is a very good scrub which left my skin incredibly smooth. I mean it left my skin so smooth even after i out on my body lotion it was still amazingly smooth. I liked it right away with the instant results it gave me. This is the best body exfoliator i have used. It is made by a company called Tree Hut.  They come in different kinds such as almond, lavender, tropical mango, vanilla, coconut lime and many other kinds. I bought the one made of Brazilian Nut which does smell divine. It is very nutty but in a good way. It is made of natural Brazilian nut oil and certified organic Shea butter. It also contains vitamins A, C and E which helps to hydrate and repair the skin thus helping it retain a vibrant glow. This scrub contains some good oils too such as primrose oil, avocado oil, sweet almond oil, macadamia seed oil, orange oil, safflower oil which all work to moisturize the skin and help it prevent aging, promote elasticity and a good complexion.

It does have sugar to give it the buff effect on the skin leaving the skin incredibly smooth like a baby's .It is very grainy and thick so a little goes a long way. With gentle circular motions, scrub you body. Remember this is a body scrub, so don't apply to the face as the grains can be harsh to the skin.

It is made of the following ingredients :Sucrose (Sugar), Glycerin, Polysorbate 20, Silica, Bertholletia, Excelsa (Brazil Nut) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit, Ascorbic Acid, Retinyl Palmitate, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil,  Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) , Oil Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil. Fragrance, Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbic Acid, Caramel.

It is is paraben and  formaldehyde free and is cheap too...what a great buy!!!
