Beat those under eye dark circles

Those dark circles under our eyes can be caused by several different things: lack of sleep, stress, fatigue, and even allergies.  Some morning’s though, they’re just worse than others.

Our best tip to quickly banish dark circles is to put two spoons in the fridge for half an hour and then lay one over each eye for a soothing and cooling effect. If you’re in a bind, and have a cucumber in the fridge, grab a slice and lay over each eye for 5-10 minutes.

For some dark circles, a light chemical peel can help fix up under eye discoloration and of course we’ve got various makeup products that can help cover them as well.

Makeup Mishap

By now, Angelina’s ‘powdery mistake’ is the makeup faux paux heard ‘round the world. Angelina, believed to have been wearing a HD translucent powder, stepped out on the red carpet last week looking as if she’d been dusted in powder.

To avoid this mistake yourself, choose a powder that contains more talc than silica as silica is highly reflective.

Perfecting your Primer

Primer is the perfect start to a great makeup day. Setting the stage for a smooth, radiant look. There are a few tips and tricks that can help you get the most out of your primer.

*Use a small amount- just the size of a raisin will be enough for your entire face

*Gently pat the primer around your eyes. It will also help your makeup to stay for the day and soften  the look of any crows feet

* Just a touch of primer on your lips can help lipstick from bleeding or feathering out on you.

Eyeliner application

It can be fun to mix up your eyeliner ever now and then, working in a fun new color, or style. Here, the upper lid is lined and slightly winged out, while the bottom is completely left untouched. Do you love this look?

Big Brows

Thanks to beauties like Cara Delevigne, the bold brow trend is going stronger than ever. It’s a look we love- as brows are a great way to frame your face. If you can grow a great brow naturally, that’s great. But what about those who’ve got a naturally smaller brow? What’s a girl to do? Powder is a better alternative to beef up your brows than a pencil. It avoids the drawn on look and gives your brows lift and dimension. Follow the top shape of your brow- not the bottom using feathered strokes.

Busted!

When it comes to skincare, beauty, and overall wellness…the rumours- they fly! While some rumours certainly have a grain of truth behind them, others leave us wondering the method behind the madness.

Today’s Beauty Myth: If it’s possible to shrink your pores or not.

The Truth: Pore size is genetic. Meaning you have no control over it. So over the counter products that claim to shrink the actual size aren’t all that accurate. You can however, reduce the appearance of your pores. The best ways to achieve this include: regular exfoliation (3x/week for your face- daily for your body), and regular skincare treatments.

Skin Saving Snacks

One fruit you don’t hear about quite often enough in relation to it’s skin saving goodness is the kiwi fruit. A kiwi has more vitamin C per ounce than nearly any other fruit! They’re portable, tangy & delicious, and they work well in combination with many other fruits and ingredients.

*Eat a kiwi for a snack

*Add kiwi to your greek yoghurt, cereal, or oatmeal

*Whip up a fruit salad with kiwi and other favorite fruits

The Vitamin C helps maintain collagen in your skin by keeping it supple and firm. Kiwi is thought to have higher levels of Vitamin C because it protects all the nutrients under that silly furry skin.

Love your Eyes

Our eyes can easily be our most striking feature. Windows into our souls, our eyes have the power to silently speak volumes. A few tips and tricks can help you get the pretty peepers you’ve always desired.

Well manicured brows will frame your face, and lovely lashes give the eyes the popping definition you’re after. Bronzalicious offers help to you in both of these areas! With waxing services available, as well as lash tints for just $25 & brow tints for $20.

For a real treat, try a ‘bright eyes’ treatment: a chilled eye mask that will lighten dark circles and reduce puffiness around the eyes. $35.
