Give yourself a bright look! (Updated)

How to contour your face ...

Contouring means shaping your face, by playing with lights and shadows. 

Begin by wearing your foundation! 

Then, in circular motions, dip your brush inside a nude color

and blow excess powder.

Apply and blend powder well on face, making a straight line from the middle

of the ear towards the lips.

After this, use brush, left and right, underneath the jaw line and then,

up to the temples and eyebrows!

Finally, contour nose and chin to complete the look!

How to apply blush...

After contouring, you are ready to blush the face! 

For this reason, use a rose powder blush. 

As you smile, use the blush brush -in circular motions- on the apples of the cheek

and you're ready to go!

Photo 2: Eye palette with pastel colors, for the romantic ones!

In the morning, you may wear the pastel green or the pastel blue eye shadow

 and finish the look with a dark green or blue eyeliner!

At night, you may wear the pastel pink as a base,

then apply the pastel blue 

and finish with the pastel purple color towards the corner of the eyes.

Brighten your day with this make up and get yourself  in a romantic mood!

You deserve it!

Ballerina bun with braid, for long hair!

Instructions:

For this look, your hair should be dry, yet not fresh washed!

First, lean head forward and gather all hair on the top of your head 

(to form a ponytail) and secure with a clear elastic.

Then, split the ponytail in two sections. Take the right hair section up 

in the air, and give the left section a few turns around the right section 

to create a loop (bun).

Once you secure the bun with bobby pins, take the other hair section 

and braid it! 

Finally, give braid a few turns around the bun and use more bobby pins 

to secure it.

If you like, use fingers to go through the temple sides of your head 

and get some hair to fall in front of the ears!

So, what are you waiting for? 

Change your hair look and have fun with it!

Autumn Balcony Garden Special!

           Photos 2, 3: View from opposite corner. Various autumn flowers are planted 

in a wide plastic corner pot.

Among the flowers, you can see small decorative figures!

   Photos 4, 5: In the background... Windbreak netting garden fence is very helpful 

for shade-making

and keeping your balcony garden clean from dust or exhaust gas smells.

Also, windmill toys are very popular as a garden ornament!

 Photos 6, 7: Inside the flower pot, there's an outdoor sun sensor light, ideal

for catching the sunlight during the day and giving off light during the night.

Photos 8, 9: Insert small pots inside the top of larger pots to give small plants 

more height!

I hope these ideas have inspired you to start some autumn activities in your garden 

and transform it into a relaxing place for you and your loving ones.

So, what are you waiting for? Bring nature on your balcony!!!

Face mask for a refreshed skin, all weekend long!

Hard week, tired face?

This weekend allow yourself the refreshed feeling result

of an all-natural face mask!


Ingredients and Procedure:

In a bowl, place 2 tablespoons of milk.

Then, add small spoons of flour and stir well, until the mixture is made thick.

After that, add in the mixture

a small spoon of honey,

a few drops of fresh lemon,

and the white substance of 1 egg.

Continue to stir!

Finally, add some more spoons of flour as necessary, so as the mixture is made thick

and doesn't flow easily.



How to apply the mask: (get someone to help you)

Lie down!

Use a spatula to apply mask on face (keep some distance from the eyes!)

Start applying from the right cheek, go down the chin, continue with the left cheek

and up to the forehead!

Relax face muscles and leave mask on face for 20-30 minutes,

so as the skin absorbs the nutrient.

When mask is dried, the skin feels firmed and tightened,

(that's due to the egg white substance)

and now you are ready to remove mask with warm water!


Did you know? 

This mask is...

...antioxidant and moisturising!

...friendly to the skin and can be used in a daily basis (during autumn/ winter/spring months)!

...NOT suitable for the summer. Avoid sun exposure! Red spots can be made on skin,

   due to the lemon acids!

... a beautician's formula I found about in a morning TV programme!

... tried and tested by myself to ensure reliable and valid results!

...NOT recommended for those who are allergic to any of the natural ingredients!


Tips for puffed eyes:

Use all-fat yogurt or slices of cucumber for relief and moisturising!

 Have a very relaxing weekend!
