LUSH’s Fresh Face Masks aren’t like your other masks. I reviewed the Cranberry Festive Face Mask to see how it nourishes the skin. LUSH’s Fresh Face Masks aren’t like the regular masks you have in your bathroom cupboard. In fact, you do not even keep them in your bathroom cupboard; you keep them in your fridge. When they say “fresh,” they mean fresh. These masks could not get any fresher unless you went to the store to buy the just-delivered ingredients, made the mask, and used it that day. The masks are made with fresh ingredients and have a shelf life…

Eggs aren’t just good for breakfast. Eggs are actually really good for your face too. However, don’t go making a mask out of scrambled eggs just yet. Egg-based products are popular in Korea. The humble hero ingredient can remove blackheads, brighten sallow complexions and help fight the signs of aging thanks to their amounts of protein and collagen. And unlike a DIY scrambled egg mask, they do not have that all-too-familiar egg smell. If you’re not convinced yet, some of the product’s fluffy souffle-like textures will definitely convince you. So get cracking and try an egg-based product ASAP. Take a look at the…

Learning from our own mistakes is an essential part of coming of age and healthy personal development. Yet, many parents try to prevent their children from making failures and errors instead of teaching them to see the good side of getting things wrong. If you are a part of this group, you should know that your good intentions may result in additional pressure and an excessive urge for perfection in your children, which is obviously best avoided. Nevertheless, several life-altering things and experiences are worth sharing with your kids to help them better understand various aspects of their lives and…

There’s so much fast-fashion jewelry today that a person could probably have an entirely new set of jewelry every week. But there’s a reason why fine jewelry has never faded. Fine jewelry offers appearances and value that are unmatched by trendy fashion pieces. Let’s take a look at why you might want to invest in fine jewelry. What Makes Fine Jewelry Fine? Fine jewelry is made from high-quality parts: gold, silver, and precious gems. It’s created with craftsmanship and care. On the surface, it may look very similar to a cheap piece. But as you look deeper, you’ll find that it’s…

From angles to lighting to makeup, staging that perfect selfie isn’t always so simple. Luckily, we did the work for you, asking beauty experts exactly what to do to put your best face forward. Here’s how to get InstaGlam in each and every selfie you snap. Trick 1: Angles Are Everything “An angle is always better to elongate the face,” says Sarah Potempa, celebrity hairstylist, and creator of the Beachwaver. “Keep the chin lifted up, as selfies from below are never flattering. Everyone looks leaner with a lengthened neck!” Once you’ve got an alluring angle, make your hair work with it, advises Laura Polko,…

Multiple Fashion Week shows featured models with face tattoos and designs. Here’s how to give yourself a temporary face tattoo like theirs. If you’ve been following Fashion Month from New York to London to Milan to Paris, you know the runways have almost all had one thing in common: overall carefree, underdone beauty looks. There have been a few notable exceptions, but for the most part, the nails have been simple, the hair has been underwhelming and unbrushed, and the makeup has been quiet. However, one trend has emerged that goes completely against the grain: face tattoos, or at least temporary ones. We first noticed…

While tattoos and piercings have been integrated and normalized in Western culture, there are still stigmas regarding certain body modification processes. Stretched piercings, implants, scarification (of which I will someday write about my own)–all are still considered taboo, to a certain degree. But what about facial tattoos? The latter aspect of that term is definitely not stigmatized these days; celebrities, preschool teachers, parents, grandparents, and more all have tattoos. However, the fact that some people put that ink onto their face differentiates the procedure in many observers’ eyes, bringing it from “normal” to “oh my god, what a terrifying criminal monster with no regard…

Hair loss and hair damage is a process of nature that nobody can avoid. Although people usually blame genetics, there are other factors that influence hair health. A major offender of hair health can be stressful. Another one can be carbon dioxide which formulates in big cities and can make your dry hair look greasy. Especially, steady amounts of stress over long periods of time or huge amounts of stress which burst periodically can radically increase hair loss. People- women more than men- have always been interested in fighting ways to keep their frizzy hair healthy and beautiful. Sometimes, solutions…

Today, in generational fear-mongering! The PR firm Zeno Group has released a study that suggests not a lot of millennial women want society’s “top jobs,” which this study has chosen to define as a position where you tell other people what to do within “a large or prominent organization.” Oh no. Before we go any further, I’d like to point out the confusing language used here because “organization” suggests “non-profit organization” to me, but judging from the coverage this has received thus far and the types of people quoted, I’m pretty sure it’s actually referring to the hierarchical “organization” of people, money, and synergy that makes up…

There’s no shortage of classic Disney tattoos, but Mickey Mouse is a classic and cute tattoo, especially with Minnie Mouse. There are lots of popular tattoo themes, from Harry Potter ink to cat lover tats. One massively popular group is Disney tattoos. It’s no surprise considering everyone wants everything, Disney, from wedding dresses to baby names to art. Of course, Mickey Mouse tattoos are among the top choices, though if you give it a few more months, Frozen tats will probably rival Mickey. Unlike Elsa, Mickey is a classic tattoo. It makes sense, considering he’s been around since 1928. If you want a timeless Disney tattoo to celebrate your love of all things magical and mouse, you…

Many lash extension salons are surrounded by women who spend hours applying their own false lashes at home. This might be due to the fact that wearing eyelash extensions looks great, or because it is easier than making your eyelashes look voluminous and beautiful with various mascaras. Anyway, you will need a proper glue to mimic the real ones, so what is the best eyelash extension glue? Eyelash extensions are very similar to false lashes, but they are different in some aspects. When you buy a pair of false lashes, they usually come with their own adhesive just like salon…

There are lot of style rules that you hear over and over. You shouldn’t buy too many trendy pieces. You should buy clothes for your body type, as opposed to what is fashionable. You should splurge on quality items. There are some fashion rules you should follow (see: buying whatever the heck you like), but in my experience, it’s better not to follow the previous three, particularly the last one about not splurging on quality items. A higher price tag doesn’t necessarily equal a better quality garment. You would think that spending more money would give you softer fabric, a better fit,…
