Getting Rid of the Love Handles by Doing Two Killer Exercises

I know how confusing advertisements can be, filled with magical pills and unhealthy actions. If you are thinking the same way, then you might enjoy this article.

The “love handles” area, right around the hips, is probably the worst one to lose weight. It might be hard, but it is not impossible! This is why you are reading this article – I will give you two exercises that will exhaust you but it’s worth it. 

Trunk Twists

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Then you reach your arms out in the form of a T, but remember to always keep you head and legs straight. Rotate your body to the left, contract your stomach and oblique muscles and stretch your limbs for a few seconds. Increase the reps and sets and add weight if you have a bar when you can.

Oblique Crunches

Lay on the floor, bend your legs to a 90 degree angle and make sure your feet are not touching the ground. Place your hands behind your neck and squeeze your stomach muscles when you bring your right elbow to your left knee. Stay in that position for at least 20 seconds. Repeat by switching hands and legs.

And this is it. It’s easy to do, you just need some persistence. Come on, you can do it!

10 Makeup Tips That Nobody Told You About PART 10 !

Every girl has her beauty secrets for perfect nails, hair and make-up. Here I have for you some of my favourite beauty tips and tricks that really work and I personally have been using for such a long time.

1. Fix broken lipstick

Let’s face it – at some point in our lives we all have had to deal with the “broken lipstick” problem. Don’t throw it away .There is a way to fix it and it’s very simple – just melt it a bit with a hairdryer or lighter , even out the broken edges, put it in the fridge overnight and voilà – your lipstick will be as good as new! 

2. Keep lipstick of your lips

Here I have 2 tips for making your teeth lipstickless.

The first one is used by celebrities and girls in beauty pageants and it’s very simple – just run some vaseline over your teeth before you put on lipstick and you’re good to go.

The second one may sound a bit strange but it helps a lot. Apply lipstick, put your finger in your mouth and pull it out! That way, all the lipstick in the inside of your lips will be gone and you won’t have to worry that your teeth may turn red in the middle of the day!

  

3. Use mascara as eyeliner

Imagine this – Friday night, you’re going out with your girlfriends and you just started doing your make-up. But you’re out of eyeliner! If this happens way too often, this beauty trick is for you! You just have to rub your eyeliner brush on the mascara brush and you’re good to go! Bonus tip: if you don’t have an eyeliner brush, you can melt an eyeliner pencil with a lighter, wait several minutes to cool completely and apply like you normally would apply you eyeliner.

  

4. The business card trick

 Put a business card on your eyelid, hold your eyelid up and apply mascara as usual. This way, the card will protect your eyelids from getting mascara all over them and you won’t have to remove  your eye make-up and doing it again. Bonus tip: You can use business cards to fill in your brows, make a “cat eye” or even apply blush and bronzer on your cheeks.

  

   5. Shave legs with conditioner

You don’t need much explanation for this one. Just use some hair conditioner (it doesn’t have to be an expensive one) instead of shaving cream and it will prevent dryness of the skin and make the hair grow slower.

  

  6. Make perfume last longer

This one is another vaseline tip. As strange as it sounds, if you want to make your perfume last longer, just rub a little vaseline on your skin before you spray the perfume.

  

  7. Drying hair with T-shirt

If your hair is frizzy and you have split ends, this tip is for you. It may sound ridiculous, but the cure for these 2 things is drying you hair with a simple cotton T-shirt.

  

  8. Using a toothbrush in your hair routine

This beauty trick involves using a toothbrush in your daily hair routine. If you have flyaways that ruin your perfect hairstyle just hairspray and old toothbrush and “comb” them back. It’s easy, fast and cheap and your hairstyle will look as if it’s made by a professional. Another thing you can do with a toothbrush is tease your hair. It’s like teasing it with a comb and if you don’t have one in hand, the toothbrush is the perfect substitute.

  

  9. Perfect French manicure

After you apply your base coat and wait for it to dry, put a Band Aid over most of your nail, leaving the tip open so you can paint on it. Then apply a nail polish of your choice over the tip and you’re done.

  

  10.Fix broken powder

Now you can fix broken powders, blushesh or even eve shadows by mixing the broken pieces with some rubbing alcohol and pouring the mixture in a container (the old one if it’s not broken). Leave them to settle overnight and in the morning you’ll have perfectly good make-up!

Applying Lipstick Tutorial

Applying lipstick is not as easy as it looks. In order to get the perfect lipstick you need to follow the steps and not forget that it is a job that requires lots of skill and concentration.

• Apply a lip primer. The purpose of primers is to smoothen the skin and make the makeup more long-lasting and less prone tosmudging.
• Contour your lips with a lip liner. This step is important if you want to emphasize the lips a lot and make them seem bigger.
• Soften the contour of the lips with a small brush for a more natural look.
• Apply the lipstick . It is best to do it with a small brush than with the lipstick itself since the work will be done more precisely that way.
• Using a clean, unused brush, clean the edges where you have gone out of the lines

Sounds like a lot of work, but if you follow the steps carefully, you will learn how to do it for under a minute!

Fresh Eye Look for the Summer

Looking fresh and natural should be one of your top priorities in the summer. Of course, a small part of us like a “naked” look with no makeup, so here is an idea of how to keep a fresh appearance with a little emphasizing on the eyes.

• Apply a little brown eyeshadow on the top line of your eyelid.
• Draw a slight line with black eyeliner.
• Fill it and make it a little wider with a little pin-up wing finish on the outer part of the eye.

 

See? Just for a minute you have a fresh, yet not too dark eye makeup!

Bold Eye – Vibrant Lip Makeup

Like in fashion, rules in makeup should not be considered. The bolder and wilder you are, the more successful you might be in expressing yourself. Many times we have heard that if you are doing a strong eye makeup, you should do a nude lip, and the other way around too: red lipstick does not go with black smoky eyes. That has changed! You can do both a strong eye and lip and look fashionable and stylish in the same time. Here is one idea:

• With the help of a very small thin brush, apply a dark eyeliner contour from the inner end of your eye to its outside.
• Using brush and a colorful liquid eyeliner or an eyeshadow, draw a brightly colored line over the black one. Make it thicker and longer than the basic one.
• Now do a bold lip in bright red!

Adding color to your makeup routine and being crazier with it is not a bad thing and the best time to do it is definitely summer!

4 Natural Remedies for Peeling Skin

Very dry skin can start peeling with time and that is definitely a sign that something is not right. Maybe your regular moisturizer is not helping anymore and you want to try something new, or you are switching to all-natural remedies and want to check out what the methods against peeling skin are. Here are a few pure items that might help you out with very dry peeling skin:

• Bananas: make a banana cream using a ripe banana and yougurt. Apply the mixture to the affected area. The skin will get softer and smoother after you wash it out, but it’s better to repeat the procedure in a few consecutive days for better results.
• Almond Oil: the “skin” oil will definitely help you with dry patches of skin by simply applying it to the affected area.
• Lemon Juice: not only it is refreshing and can be used in cooking, but lemon juice will help to reduce the peeling of skin. It can be turned into a scrub if you combine it with sugar or in a pure form to serve as a moisturizer
• Aloe Vera: it is one of the best components of beauty products for sensitive skin. You can use it in a gel form or the Aloe Vera pulp to enhance moisturizing and help easing the blood flow.

Cat Eye Tips

The cat eye eyeliner has many different techniques and interpretations, we all know that. As it is one of the most popular eyeliner, that is absolutely normal. Personally, I begin with drawing the line over the eyelid, but in the picture below we have a starting point from the cat eye line.

So, let’s get started! You begin drawing the line in the corner of your eyes by placing two dots and afterwards connecting them. Then you repeat the step until you are completely satisfied with the result.

Lastly, you just fully finish your eyeliner and voila! You now have a gorgeous eyeliner.

Get Rid of The Chin Hair

It’s happening sometimes and we are not guilty for having nasty genes. Some of us have a little bit more of facial hair. More than needed. But there is a safe haven – homemade sugar wax for with will help you to get rid of that hairs. You will notice that after a few uses the hair won’t grow anymore. Check it out:

• Mix two teaspoons of granulated sugar and one teaspoon each of honey and water.
•  Heat the mixture in a microwave for about half a minute until it bubbles and turns brown. Let it cool.
• Apply it on the areas where you have hairs with a spatula.
• Place a cloth strip over the sugar wax and smooth it out with your fingers in the direction of the hair growth.
• Rip it off in the opposite direction of hair growth.
• Repeat as needed. 
• Remember not to apply any cosmetics after that procedure. Just wash your face with warm water. You can apply cream the day after.

DIY Homemade Biore Straps

Everyone loves smooth skin and hates blackheads. Thankfully there are lots of products to fight them. In this tutorial we`ll show you how to make your very own Biore straps at home. What`s more – these are not single strips, but will cover the whole face at once. They are natural and will brighten up your skin.

Here is what you need to do: 

• A table spoon of unflavored gelatin should be mixed with 1 1/2 – 2 tablespoons of milk. It is better to prepare the mix in something you can throw away immediately.
• Microwave the concoction for 10-15 seconds and apply to the face immediately. If you don`t have a microwave, simply heat the milk, before mixing it with the gelatin.
•  Wait until the mixture on your face has dried completely and then gently peel it off.

Actually that`s all – milk, gelatin and heat and your skin looks and feels amazing. Enjoy it!

Sexy Beach Waves Hairstyle

Beach waves are definitely one of the most fashionable hairstyles for this year and we advise you to embrace this casual, yet stylish look. It’s a very simple one and all you need is a heat protect spray and a hair straightener. 

• Clip the upper layers of your hair to the top of your head.
• Spray the lower layers with a heat protect product and wait for a minute until the hair is not wet from it.
• Wrap each lock of hair around the hair straightener and then pull downwards.
• Then let loose the upper layers of your hair and repeat the same thing with them.

How To Do Your Makeup : 9 Tips That Will Change Your Beauty Life

Follow these tips to get that feminine look you always wanted

 

1. Those Summer Nights 

It's hard to go to sleep early when the sun is still shining by 8pm. But those long summer nights can take a toll on your face, especially your eyes. You might have given up on under-eye concealer. We suggest giving it another try using this technique. 

 

2. Look Over Here! 

Ultra-bold eye makeup will draw attention away from any signs of fatigue. It's also a great excuse to buy some high pigment shades.

 

3. The Highlight Map 

Apply light concealer on the parts you want to highlight, and a creamy bronzer to the parts you want extra shadowing. And of course, blend like you've never blended before. 

 

4. Sun-Kissed Rims 

Dramatic eyes are given a summery twist with golden eyeliner applied to the inner rims. Make sure to keep the rest of your face neutral and clean. 

 

5. Smokey Golden Eye 

A smokey eye done in gold and copper can make dark tired eyes look like they were part of the plan all along. Use the dark copper on top and the lighter gold on the bottom. 

6. Winged Liner + Red Lipstick 

It's a match made in makeup heaven. This look never goes out of style and it looks fantastic on practically everyone. It's a great distraction! 

7. Bright Face Colors 

A clean face with a dusting of pinks and golds looks refreshed and bright. Enhance it with a girly hair accessory.

8. The Triangle Under-Eye 

You want to apply your concealer in a triangular shape. Since the tip of the triangle is brighter than the rest of your face, it automatically makes your cheeks look lifted. 

 

9. Matte Skin 

You don't need to suffer from acne to use acne face wash. The salicylic acid in over the counter acne cleansers helps skin stay matte, which is especially important during the summer. 

How to Get Rid of Cellulite with Coffee

Coffee is a very famous ingredient in anti-cellulite lotions, shower gels and all kinds of products. Than why not go natural and just use its pure form against the problem? Do this procedure about once every 3-4 four days and the result won’t take long!

• Make some strong coffee and pour it in a bowl.
• Add a little salt.
• Leave the mixture for a while until the salt dissolves at least partially.

• Add a bit of olive oil or anti-cellulite oil to the mixture.
• Now rub the harmed parts of your body with the mixture.
• Wash it out only with your hands, so that any other tools do not remove the nutrients.
• Mix a few drops of lemon, grapefruit, orange or lavender oil.
• Massage the oil mixture to your body for a few minutes.
• Wrap it in see-through oil for about ten minutes.

and you're done ! voila ! 

How To Make Your Forehead Look Smaller

But if you still feel insecure about something like that, you can change it with just a tad of  makeup!

What do we do? We contour! Just grab your concealer and foundation and apply the products on your forehead as shown in the picture below.

Cheer on with football manicures

Support your favourite team at the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2014 with nail art inspired by the country's flag

You've got your favourite team's jerseys and shorts, but there's one thing female football fans can have for themselves during the World Cup that men can't — nail art. From footballs to flags of the countries contending for the trophy, there is lots to choose from. The demand for football-inspired nail art has increased in salons in the country even before the matches began. The top favourite is Brazil, followed by Spain, Australia, England, Chile and Argentina. Getting special World Cup inspired manicures at a nail studio turns out to be expensive. Although it looks elaborate, this nail art can be achieved at home. We got 13-year-old DIY enthusiast Nerissa Chen to show us how to get it right. "The fuss-free way to go about this yourself is through nail extensions. This way, you can use both hands to carefully paint the design of the flag on the acrylic nail," she says.

You can even change your nail art, depending on who is playing that week. Get creative with this fun beauty trend. Let the team you are vouching for adorn all nails except one, which can be painted with small footballs. You could even paint alternate nails a velvet green to represent the football field's grass.

Not rooting for any one team in particular? Do a multi-cultural take by having different flags on your fingertips. Or do away with flags and have a mix of small versions of the Brazuca (the ball players will be kicking around this year) and Brazil's mascot Fuleco! Says Nerissa, "For an eye-catching effect, play around with different textures like glitter, matte, gel and velvet. Once you have painted all the extensions, apply a small drop of nail glue on your fingertip and the acrylic nail, and seal it. Give a final top coat of transparent polish so that the design doesn't chip and stays longer. Even the most unsteady hands can pull off these ideas, so don't be afraid to experiment."

How to Remove Blackheads with Glue

Blackheads can appear on their own, but there are cheap beauty tricks  against them! You don’t need to buy expensive premium beauty products or visit famous professionals. You can do it at home, on your own and all you need is glue!

• Make sure you have washed your face thoroughly with a cleanser and water and dry it out well with a towel.
• Apply a layer of Elmer’s glue or another similar product on your nose and extend a little to the cheeks.
• Wait for about 15-20 minutes for the glue to dry. Try not to wrinkle your nose.
• After that peel it from the bottom near the cheek and away from the face. Be gentle and slow, so that the layer does not tear. You will be able to see dirt and blackheads on the layer of glue after you remove it.

Wash your face again to remove any remaining traces of glue.

Glam Half-up Bouffant Tutorial

Some of us just can’t manage to do the complicated beautiful hairstyles that professionals do at home. That is why we are showing you how you can make your appearance a little different without having lots of skills. For this retro hairstyle you just need some hairspray and a thin comb.

• When doing a special hairstyle, it is better that the hair is not freshly washed, since it is less manageable.
• Using the handle of a thin comb, divide your hair and place your hairline on one side.
• Tease the hair on the back of your head with the comb to get more volume there.
• Tame any frizz at the back of your hair and pin it through the mid-lengths.
• Pull out the front locks of your hair in front of your ears. You may slightly shift the front locks upwards for a more retro look.
• Fixate the hairstyle with some hairspray. 

You are done and looking gorgeous like a diva from the 60s!
