Here’s how to look great on the go:

# Buy a cream blush that doubles as a lip tint

# Carry cleansing or refreshing wipes to clean dirt and make-up – even waterproof mascara – from your face, while nourishing skin with moisture.

# Carry an all-in-one moisturizer with sunscreen and tint. Look for creams with SPF 15 protection or higher that have a slight pigment to provide a great finished look without the heaviness of foundation.

# Go from day into evening without over stuffing your make-up bag: A hint of shimmer can be applied to the face, body and even hair, creating a sexy night-time look in seconds.

# Drink plenty of water. Whether you are in the air, basking on the beach or skiing down the slopes, staying hydrated is the most important beauty tip of all.

# Wear minimal eye make-up, and carry eye drops. Stuffy air, long queues and hours on the go will make you tired. Wilted eye make-up will make you look even more tired. If your eyes feel too naked without some attention, you can curl your lashes, apply a light mascara tint and set your brows in place with a clear brow gel.

# Apply a leave-in conditioner before you begin your journey.  The stresses of traveling, especially if you go to a different climate, can dry out hair and cause split ends.

# Carry an eye gel or cream. Often, applying a nutritious eye gel or cream is enough of a pick-me-up to get through customs. If not, at least you’ll keep the delicate skin around your eyes moisturized and prevent puffiness.

Eyelash Tinting Secrets

For women, eyelashes are a big thing. It’s one of the defining features of your eyes. If done correctly it will yield you the dark, alluring, tantalizing eyes that you’ve always wanted.

On certain occasions mascara is not practical. Applying it can be a hassle, especially when you are outdoors. Some have issues because they like to swim a lot. Some who wear contacts may want to have a quicker time getting ready without the time needed to put on mascara. The result is, some women have opted to eyelash tinting.

Eyelash tinting is when you tinted your eyelashes with a dye of some sort to make them look darker. Of course,  it’s best to adjust the color of the dye to your skin and hair color.  Ranging from black, blue, grey, brown, red, you can choose from a myriad of captivating colors for your eyelashes.

This is a quick procedure, usually using color dyes extracted from plants. You can do this in many salons or spas, but you need to take precautions. Eyelash tinting can be dangerous if done wrong.

If you decided to tint your eyelashes, the first thing you should do is test your skin for allergies. It’s best to ask the ingredients of the dye to determine if you’re allergic to any of them. If a salon does eyelash tinting, make sure first that they’re credible and have the proper tools to do so.

It only take about 15 minutes to tint your eyelash, the result can last up until one and a half month. The procedure should not be painful, except when the eyelash tint got into your eyes. Rinse it quickly with water.

How to Make Your Hair Grow Faster

Relax. Stress is a common cause of reversible hair loss. When you experience physical or emotional turmoil, it can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 4 months for the results to show up in your hair.

Avoid dramatic weight loss. As you shed pounds, you shed hair. The dramatic changes that your body undergoes when it loses weight quickly (the change in nutrients, the stress involved) can cause your hair to thin. Diets low in protein and iron and also those high in protein but low in fruits and vegetables that result in dramatic weight loss can also trigger significant hair loss.

Avoid or minimize harsh treatments like dyes, tints, bleaches, straighteners, and permanent waves. These weaken your hair and increase the likelihood of breakage and loss.

Don’t put your hair into tight ponytails or cornrows. Use butterfly clips and loose braids instead.

Minimize tangles in other situations, such as on windy days, by containing your hair with buns, braids, hats, etc.

Brush it carefully. If you have wavy or curly hair, there are probably times when you encounter resistance as you’re brushing.

Brush your hair before you shower in the morning. Throughout the night your hair can knot up pretty bad.

Minimize how much you style your hair. Any kind of styling that involves pulling your hair at the root (blow drying straight, straight iron, curling iron, rollers) will contribute to hair loss. Heat styling also can encourage hair to break.

Curlers
The obvious answer for straight eyelashes is to curl them. If you’re not concerned about the cost and you’re interested in expensive novelties, Shu Uemura eyelash curler also comes in gold.

Mascara
Lash Stylist mascara works, it’s heavy enough to thicken, but still light enough to lashes curled. The trick must be in the comb applicator, but it is still better than other comb-style wands I’ve used. A miracle, and it’s less than $7.

Curl first: You’re supposed to start curling at the lash base and work your way to the tips.

Mascara: Apply one coat using a wiggling motion if necessary.  Apply a second coat before the first coat dries for a thicker look. Bonus tip for extra length and volume: Between coats, dip a q-tip in a little baby powder and run across lashes, focusing on the tips. The second coat will attach to the powder for a longer, fuller look.

Curl again: Still not satisfied with the curl? Curl again using the same process as before.
