Victoria’s Secret Romantic Waves

Everyone wants that romantic wavy hair like they have in the Victoria’s Secret ads! You can get the curling iron I use at Sally Beauty Supply. It’s the Helen Of Troy – 2″ curling iron!

Here’s how to obtain the look:

• Wash your hair at night and brush it out.
• Allow it to dry overnight.
• In the morning, brush it out again and spray in a heat protectant such as the one by Matrix – Matrix Sleek Look Iron Smoother.
• Take your hair in 2″ pieces and curl so that the iron is upright (the b lack tip of the curling iron should be facing up and the wire is pointing down to the ground).
• You’re going to want to curl the hair towards and away from your face so this will not look formal and do “done up”. This should be looking messy and sort of like “bed hair”.
• After you’re done curling, run your fingers through your hair and presto! – Romantic Victoria’s Secret Waves!

Shed those “Winter Blues”

…or skin, rather! During the winter, Mother Nature does a number on our epidermis and what’s the first thing we reach for? Exfoliators. I know that the most common drug store brand of exfoliation tools is the St. Ive’s Apricot Facial Scrub, but check this out:

There is a line called Caudalie found at Sephora that is amazing. For exfoliating, I like to use the Gentle Buffing Cream. It has little exfoliating beads in it that remove dead skin, excess oil and all while stimulating cellular renewal. After using the cream your face will look renewed and brightened and feel so soft! It’s about $35.00, which is not to bad for a high-end product.

Lips get dried out in winter too, don’t they? To remedy this, I use Caudalie Lip Conditioner. It is an intensive lip treatment that repairs and conditions dry, chapped and damaged lips with powerful antioxidants. Also, it works very well as a lipstick base! It’s the best $12.00 “chap stick” I’ve ever bought!
