Full eyebrows are all over the cat walk and fashion week. So ladies, put down the tweezers and spend a bit more time between waxing/threading. Full eyebrows can bring a lot of attention to your face and frame your eyes beautifully without much effort. To make them look the best they can be and forward with this thread, follow these easy steps:
1 & 2. Groom them appropriately. Take your time tweezing strays and trimming your brows by brushing them up and carefully following your shape.
3. Using a brow powder a bit darker than your hair color, fill in your brows focusing on the arch and sparse areas. Remember: eyebrows aren’t twins, but close sisters, so they do not have to look exactly like each other.
4. To set them in place, use a clear mascara or eyebrow gel by gently using the and through them. (more…)

With manicure trends balancing on a line of bold and just plain crazy, it’s hard to find a style that is fun, practical and most improtantly appropriate for a variety of settings! There are few manicures that fit the criteria above like the faux caviar manicure. Trendy, eye catching and customizable! Follow the steps below to master this ‘appetizing’ nail trend!
Preparation: For this nail trend you can buy the Caviat Caviar nail kit (available at Sephora for $25) or you can be resourceful and check in to your local craft store for tiny beads! I went to Michaels and found a jar of tiny craft beads (available in a variety of colors for $8) which worked just as good! The choice is yours!
1. Gather your prep materials.
2. Give yourself a base coat. In this example I’m using black.
3 & 4. On the second coat, wait a few seconds until nails are tacky, not wet. Then, dip your nails into the ‘caviar’ beads. Once they are on your nail, press firmly to shape the nail and to prevent any loose beads from falling off.
5, 6, & 7. Continue step 2 on as many nails as you’d like. For a subtle look, try adding the beads to just the ring finger. For a bold statement, do all nails except the thumb! If you’re fearless, do all five fingers!
8. Once beads are on, add a thick clear top coat! This will hold the beads together so you won’t have any coming off throughout the day/night!
The key to fabulous results is to let this dry completely! If the beads are securely on and finished with a tight top coat, there is nothing stopping you from making your caviar nails the main course at your next few dinner parties!
Although, I am not quite fair right now (hi, summer, how are you?), I still abide by the fair skin colour rules – don’t go too light, yet don’t go too dark… unless you want to. The fact is very light and very dark colors can wash us out beyond belief, therefore I always stick to four families: Berries, Reds, Deep Pinks and Browns. These add just the perfect hint of colour that will brighten up your complexion. My favorite are:
Skrillex is a DJ who is known for his quirky hairstyle where a portion of your hair is shaved off. This hairstyle has become quite popular with women with singers such as Rihanna, Avril Lavigne and Ke$ha also following in his footsteps and shaving one side of their hair. As much as the style is cool and different there are many people out there (myself included!) that would love to wear this style but definitely don’t want to shave their heads! Follow the tips below to can achieve a faux Skrillex hairstyle with a pop of berry on your lips. (more…)
