Summer Beauty Favorites!

Summer is finally here!!! Here are the products I reccomend to help keep your summer beautiful:

Self Tanner

     I love this self tanner from Bath and Body Works because it gives a bronze glow without making you orange.

True Blue Spa Vitamin E Self Bronzer

24 Hour Lip Color

     This dual-sided lip color is a stain on one side and a lip balm on the other. Its great for a day at the beach when you don't want to have to keep applying lip gloss.

Morrocan Argan Oil Hair Mask

     This hair mask is great because it leaves you hair soft, silky, and shiny.  Its also very easy to use.

Simple Everyday Beauty Tips

Here are some simple everyday beauty tips that will be a great addition to your morning routine!

 BEAUTY TIPS FOR SKIN:
•Who needs a face exfoliator? Scrub your face with sugar 1-2 times a week for constantly soft skin.
•Apply your facial moisturizer in upward moisture to prevent premature wrinkles.
•Pat lemon juice onto face once a week to tighten skin and pores.
•Never rub concealer in, always pat it into face.
•Always buy a moisturizer with SPF added for extra protection.

 BEAUTY TIPS FOR HAIR:
•If you have flyaway hair, Suave leave-in conditioner is inexpensive and works great!
•Run a comb through your hair while in the shower rather than after you get out to prevent breakage.
•If you have thick hair, use a paddle brush to make sure very strand is tangle free.
•No time to shower? Sprinkle some baby powder on your roots to keep your hair from looking greasy. 

BEAUTY TIPS FOR EYES:
•Dab a little white or lightly colored eyeshadow in the inner corner of your eyes to instantly brighten them. •Heat up your eyelash curler with a blow dryer before curling your eyelashes to make your eyelashes hold the curl.
•Rub Vaseline or olive oil on your eyelashes at night to grow thick, healthy lashes.
•For the illusion of bigger eyes, focus your mascara on the upper and outer lashes of your eyes.

 BEAUTY TIPS FOR MOUTH:
•Focus your lip gloss in the middle of your lip to give a flirtatious pout.
•Make a paste out of baking soda and water, brush with it once a week for whiter teeth.
•If you use lip liner, make sure it is the same color or lighter than your lipstick, never darker.
•Apply your lipstick in a downward motion to give a 3-Dimensional effect.

Teens and Acne

As a teenager, I understand how frustrating it can be to have acne. About 84% of teenage girls have low self esteem because of their acne. If you're like me and you struggle with acne, here is a DIY acne mask that I swear by:

 WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (DO NOT USE WHITE VINEGAR)
- 1 tbsp cooled green tea
- 4 tbsp sugar (you can use brown sugar if you have sensitive skin)
- 1 tsp olive oil

Mix together in a large bowl. Apply the mask to your face for 8-15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Use this mask twice a week and you will see results in less than a month. And remember, don't be embarrassed if you have acne, you're not alone!

Good Luck, Emma Kay
