"Beauty" by Vogue


This book of well known and not so well known tips was interesting. I hoped it would be a insider of how to's of high fashion, and I guess that's their selling point, but it was more down to earth than I thought.
Some random tips I haven't heard of and want to try:
  • Have 2 glasses of water in the morning before breakfast to wake up and hydrate your body.
  • It takes 7 - 8 weeks to break down cellulite. They have some more great info so I'll make a whole post about it.
  • The skin is warmer during sleep and absorbs more skincare products so load on a night cream packed with vitamins.
  • The sun damages hair as much as it damages skin.
  • Your hair should be completely soaked for at least 30 seconds before you shampoo.
  • Intensive conditioner is every gloss haired girl secret weapon.
  • First used in black and white hollywood films, they say putting vaseline over eye shadow or by itself on eyelids as a good party look.
  • Apply mascara to the ends of lashes, not the base (which is what I thought) because it can create spider lashes (as I have).
  • To look good in photos, look relaxed and natural as if your smiling at a friend.
  • Weekly soak feet in hot water (not scalding) with aromatic oils for 10 minutes, then scrape with a pumice stone or foot file.
  • Rub vaseline into nails before you go to sleep for stronger healthier nails and weekly soak in warm almond oil.
I can't wait to try these tips! I'll try and keep you updated on the outcomes.
Also, I'm really into natural home made products at the moment and I found this great blog filled with recipes packed with skin loving goodness!
