Store Makeup During Summer

Where do you usually keep your makeup? In the bathroom? On your bedside table? Or perhaps in your kitchen refrigerator? We would like to give you some advice on where to keep your favorite makeup products.

Makeup Enemies

A makeup product can go bad long before its expiration date indicated on the package if you don’t store it properly. Heat, humidity, and sunlight are bad for any makeup product.

Creams Storage

Cream should be kept at temperatures 5-25°C. At lower temperatures it can solidify, which is particularly dangerous for liquid emulsion creams, since the water component can crystallize and the cream will go bad in that case. At high temperatures the cream softens, which is not good as well. Thus, make sure you read the information about makeup storage conditions, which is typically indicated on the package, as soon as you buy a new cream. Do not use fingers to extract a cosmetic substance. The microorganisms on your fingers can easily travel to the bottle. Preferably, use a spatula or an applicator.

Mascara Storage

Mascara is usually the first product to go bad. Use it for six months at most after opening; past this period the bacteria will grow inside the tube and irritate the mucous membranes on your eyes.

How To Store Lipstick

High quality lipstick can be used for at most for two years; past this period it dries the lips and does not apply evenly. You can easily spot a spoiled lipstick by bad odor.

Where to Store Eyeshadows

Eyeshadows can be dry or liquid. Dry eyeshadows have quite a long shelf life – around three years. Liquid ones, on the other hand, have to be disposed of after 1.5- 2 years.

How to Store Foundation, Fragrance and Other Cosmetics Correctly

Water-based foundation will be hard to apply evenly in a year. Creams high in lipids can be used a little bit longer – up to two years.

Storage periods after opening for tonics, creams, and lotions vary. If the product is packed in a vacuum-sealed package the bacteria will be less likely to get inside and destroy the structure of the product, which means that you can use it longer – around 5-12 months.

An unopened bottle of perfume can be stored for up to three years, an opened one – from 6 months to 1.5 years. Perfumes have the same ”enemies” as makeup products – light, heat, and humidity.

Prevent Ingrown Hair after Shaving

Ingrown hair is a problem, which is equally familiar to men and women. It is commonly unpleasant, painful, especially in sensitive areas such as bikini. Would you like to learn how to avoid ingrown hair?

Causes of Ingrown Hair

Ingrown hair forms when a hair is pulled too much during shaving and after contraction grows into the skin; sharp end of the shaved hair also contribute to formation of ingrown hair. The second reason is overly large number of dead cells surrounding the hair and causing it to grow at an angle. By the way, people with curly hair also experience this problem more frequently.

Preventing Ingrown Hair

• Hair is commonly twisted and stretched during shaving, so this method of removal of unwanted hair should be replaced with, for example, waxing.
• Yet, if you still prefer shaving, make sure you exfoliate your skin before shaving. It will prevent follicles from clogging and the hair will grow strictly perpendicularly to the skin.
• Choose exfoliation scrubs, that contain Beta Hydro Acids (Salicylic acid), since those act deep on the pores and prevent accumulation of dead cells around the follicle
• Exfoliate skin with a shower sponge as an alternative to scrubs.
• If possible, wear clothes that do not get much in contact with the areas where ingrown hair commonly forms, especially the bikini area. This way you will reduce the irritation and accumulation of dead skin cells in those areas.

New Fragrance S by Shakira

As soon as one starts to think that the list of celebrities who have released their personal perfumes has been exhausted, there is always another celebrity who will ruthlessly destroy this delusion. This time it is Shakira, who has joined the society of celebrity-perfumers.

The singer has released the S by Shakira perfume. Its key notes are fresh wood, vanilla, amber, and jasmine. Shakira described this fragrance in the following way:

“The type of women who feel a connection with this fragrance would be independent and strong, but also a woman with a great capacity to love and a strong sense of who they are. It’s for a woman who believes in herself.”

Like other celebrities, Shakira insists that she took very active part in the development of this scent. In particular, she ensured that the bottle captured oriental dance theme.

The head note is made up of Bergamot, Gardenia, Galbanum, Mango, Sage and Woodberry with a flowery heart of Jasmine, Narcissus, Rose, Hibiscus, and Neroli. Oak, Patchouli, Sandal, Labdanum Ciste, Musk create a deep base note.

How to Make Dirty Hair Look Fresh and Clean

Lets admit it, sometimes it is hard to find time to wash your hair. Some situations simply make it impossible. Yet, nobody likes going in public with dirty, greasy hair. It simply looks bad. So, maybe there is a way to make dirty hair look cleaner.

Hair Accessories

It is possible to hide dirty hair under a bandana or a scarf. Any hair accessory (hairpin, ribbon, or hair band) will add charm and style to your image and nobody will notice that you have dirty hair.

Put Your Hair up

This advise is for those of you with long hair. Simply make a braid or a pony-tail and your hairdo will never show that your hair has not been washed for a while.

Dry Washing

The best option is dry shampoo. However, if you don’t have it handy, you can use, for example, corn starch. Simply apply some to your hair, the starch will absorb oil and dirt, and thoroughly comb your hair afterwards. Now, you are ready to go for any important meeting. One point to note though- you can safely use baby talcum powder or baking flour as dry shampoo if you have fair or blond hair. However, you cannot use those products if you are an owner of dark hair, since the remains of those products will be visible; brunettes can only use high quality dry shampoo.
