3 Easy Steps To Optimize Product Results

1. Warm the product in hands that are clean and dry.
2. Gently press hands flat onto face using light pressure. Begin in the middle of the face and work outwards.
3. Do the same on the forehead and neck.

End by lightly smoothing over skin. If needed, absorb any excess product with a tissue before applying makeup.

Wedding beauty tips:click to read

WEDDING BEAUTY TIPS. Work out a time schedule and stick to it. Plotting out your beauty details months before your wedding will help you remain calm and collected so that your big day goes off without a hitch.

Two Months Before
• A good skin care regimen is important to get ready for your big day but don’t do anything too extreme.
• Moisture is so important for healthy glowing skin. Apply an oil-free moisturizer each morning before your makeup and after you take if off each night.

Four to Six Weeks Before
• Make your appointment now to have your hair and makeup done. Schedule a consultation and try several different styles with and without your veil and experiment with more dramatic makeup. Remember the waterproof mascara.

Two Weeks Before
• Time for a trim and to touch up your hair color or highlights. Keep hair healthy with a deep conditioner twice a week.

One Week Before
• Schedule a pedicure but keep feet fabulous until the big day with some extra pampering. The Soothing Lavender Foot Soak can be handy if you plan on dancing the night away at your reception.
• Don’t leave any waxing until the last minute. You could end up with shiny, sore skin and that isn’t what you want for your wedding photos.

Day Before
• Slip an eye mask in the freezer for a few minutes and use it to minimize puffy eyes.
• For an always-classic look, try Sally Girl polish in Mellow for fingernails and a fun red for toenails. The small-size bottles are excellent to have on hand for touchups and the polish dries quickly.

Wedding Day
Help the day go smoothly by keeping a small bag with beauty basics.

You The One Girl:14 Reasons He Can See Himself Marrying You: Read more here

Men are predominantly “fun seekers.” They’ll engage in a relationship for a long time if it’s making them happy, even if it’s not with a woman they intend on marrying. Women, however, are more efficient in their dating. Typically if we know there’s something about a man that just won’t work out, we move on. But, since men don’t give us this same courtesy, how can you tell if he’s in it because you’re “the one” or just because you’re a fun one? Let us help.

Shutterstock

You share a sense of humor

Life will not always be easy, happy or entertaining. But if a man knows that you and him, together, can find humor in the most mundane or even challenging of situations, he knows life will be a good ride with you by his side.

Shutterstock

It was comfortable from the beginning

Men rely heavily on first impressions. Women would benefit from doing the same! Instead, we often give men a second, third, fourth…chance because he’s good on paper. But if a man instantly feels comfortable with and connected to you from date number one, he knows there is something special there. It shouldn’t have felt like workto develop chemistry, attraction or comfort

Shutterstock

Your nagging doesn’t feel like nagging

When you insist he clean dishes, wash that t-shirt he hasn’t washed in months, or call his mother, it somehow doesn’t feel like nagging. Instead, he appreciates having a woman around who keeps him on his toes, and pushes him to be better.

Shutterstock

He can be a big baby around you

Deep down, men are big babies. They just want to be coddled and nurtured. When a man feels truly safe and comfortable with you, he’ll shamelessly ask to be cuddled, he’ll ask you to make him feel better after a rough day, and he’ll even baby talk.

shutterstock.com

His career improves because of you

Having you in his life makes him feel complete, and that boosts his confidence, which in turn makes him do better at work. If a man is just soaring in his career after you come along, he notices.

Image: Thinkstock

You do better at work because of him

A man also wants to support your career, motivate you and energize you. Men can tell when their girlfriends become lazy or unmotivated in a relationship, and not only is that unattractive, it also doesn’t say much for compatibility. But if a man sees you soar when you’re together, he knows something about the mix of you and him equals success.

Shutterstock

He’s hurting when you’re hurting

Often men will avoid you altogether if you’re upset—at them or otherwise. But when a man cannot ignore the fact that you’re hurting, and struggles to enjoy himself when you cannot, he knows the connection is strong.

shutterstock.com

He can be gross around you

He can fart, burp and wear his boxers with the holes in them around you. The driving force behind much of what men do is the desire to be comfortable, and if your presence instills a sense of comfort, that’s a very addicting thing for a man.

thinkstock

You find him attractive, even when he’s falling apart

Men have very fragile egos. If they lose their jobs, or feel emasculated in any way, they crawl into a hole. But if you do not seem the least bit put off by your man’s occasional downfalls, he knows you’re a keeper.

Source: Shutterstock

His family and friends love you

Nobody knows a man better than his buddies, and his family. If you meld right into his social and family circles like you were just meant to be there, he is able to envision a life with you.

Shutterstock

He wouldn’t change a thing (at least nothing major) about you

Sure you have quirks and flaws, but nothing he couldn’t live with. If a man knows that every part of your personality and character is something he would happily be around every single day, he’ll hear wedding bells.

Shutterstock

Talk of marriage doesn’t scare him

Everybody gets a little cold feet when they imagine “forever.” But if a guy can already imagine and even speak of a potential wedding with you, without feeling a sense of dread, he’s not letting you go.

Shutterstock

Other women proposition him, and he’s not interested

Noticing that other women are attractive, and maybe even that there is compatibility there, is one thing. But if a man is not the least bit tempted to be with another woman when the option is on the table, you’re someone he could consider having a forever with.

It Can’t Always Be About You: Signs You’re A Drama Queen: Read more

Is your life constantly in turmoil? Do you span the entire spectrum of emotions every single day? Is somebody always after you? OR…are you just a drama queen who doesn’t have the emotional toolkit to properly handle the exact same stuff everyone else is going through? Here are a few questions to help you find out.

You see danger everywhere

There is traffic, so there is probably a pile up ahead that you’re all about to get into. A raindrop just fell. And there are electric wires everywhere. Somebody is going to die. The guy at the end of the bar has holes in his shoes. He is probably a robber about to pull a gun out on this place. You look for potential danger everywhere and are always in “survival mode.”

Source: Shutterstock

You personalize everything

You think everything is a jab at you. Even conversations that are not about you—that you’re not even in—you believe have subtexts of insults to you. Or, when someone does directly make a small jab at you, you let it ruin your day, instead of realizing that’s their issue, not yours.

Shutterstock

You relate everything back to you

Any time someone vents to you or tells you a story, you have your own story to tell them back. Instead of asking questions and engaging the person to continue to open up, you feel compelled to turn the attention to you.

Shutterstock

You think ten people want to marry you

Your doorman smiles at you every day, the barista at Starbucks always adds a free extra shot to your drink, and your co-worker reminds you of meetings. All these men obviously want to marry you. Right?

Shutterstock

You think ten people are stalking you

Your doorman is always in your lobby, the barista at Starbucks remembers that you like an extra shot, and your co-worker knows your meeting schedule. These men are obviously stalking you.

Shutterstock

You try to control everything

You urgently need to control every detail of everything. If you overhear a friend deciding on where to have her birthday party, you are insistent she choose your suggestion and you delve into all the reasons it is the best. The idea she might choose somewhere else gets under your skin.

Shutterstock

You feel mistreated often

You see signs of mistreatment everywhere. The bartender didn’t smile at you when she took your order. Your boss mispronounced your very long and complicated last name. The cabby isn’t making small talk with you. And you’re outraged.

Source: Shutterstock

You get easily overwhelmed

You often feel unable to go on with your day and complete small tasks because your emotions take over.

Shutterstock

You think you’re a martyr

You believe you’re constantly making sacrifices so that other people can be happy. Oh yeah, and you’ve stated that too.

Shutterstock

You always feel left out

If someone shares a secret with you, all you can think is that they took too long to tell you. If someone invites you to a party, all you can think is they didn’t ask you to help plan it.

shutterstock

Your appearance rules your life

You’re late because a nail broke or you can’t go into certain places because the humidity will mess up your hair or your very expensive clothes might be spilled on

Source: Shutterstock

It takes you three months to get over a two week “relationship”

You’re still talking about the guy who didn’t want to go on a third date with you three months ago. You’re analyzing every detail of the two dates you did have…down to the way he ordered his coffee.

Source: Shutterstock

Everyone you’ve ever dated was a “boyfriend”

Following the last point, anyone you ever dated just once is labeled a “boyfriend.” That way, it can sound more dramatic and important when you talk about your “ex.”

Shutterstock

You cry at most parties

Any time there is a large social gathering, you somehow end up in the bathroom with two women consoling you and a box of mascara-smeared tissues. Is everybody there really out to get you? Or are you just unable to realize this night wasn’t supposed to be about you, and the other guests also probably have personal drama but they knew this was neither the time nor place.
