Make-up, Make-up, and more Make-up

Make-up is truly one of my favorite passions in life, I love buying make-up, learning about make-up, and applying make-up. After many years of practice and research, I believe I am a very talented make-up artist. I’ve done make-up for weddings, school dances, and senior pictures. I love the miracles of make-up. If you look tired, just add a little blush to your checks to brighten your appearances; if you have acne or freckles and want them to disappear, just add foundation. Make-up works wonders. Girls I know it’s about that time to start school again, with that being said, I think it’s time you all get a head start finding that perfect dress, hairstyle, and make-up for all the wonderful dances this year. One of my favorite places to get make-up is CosmeticMall.com , they carry hundreds of different make-up lines, and it’s great. However, I did find this how-to video the other day and she has a prefect gold/rose example that would be great for any school dance, especially homecoming or prom, I love it.

Drive to Prom in Safety...

As prom approaches one thing you should take into deep considerations is your driving situation. As a kid, you always think you’re invincible; nothing bad is every going to happen to you, right? Well as you get older, you will start to realize that is not true. When it comes to driving, teens love to put their foot to the metal and test all limits possible. Offend this leads to speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, and racing. As a teenage, you usually feel like you have to prove yourself in order for your peers to think you’re cool or something; having this mentality offend leads to showing off, this can sometime result in death. Not all accidents involve drugs or alcohol; sometimes you’re just in the wrong place at the wrong time. With prom just around the corner, I think it a great idea for teens to invest in renting out a limo for night, especially if your prom is far away. If you have about five couples riding together, this option can be pretty inexpensive and well worth it. However, you decide to get to prom, always remember to buckle up!

Permanent eyelash extensions differ from false eyelashes in several ways. First, eyelash extensions are more natural looking than a strip of false eyelashes. Extensions are made from a synthetic hair, which tapers at the end like natural lashes and is applied one eyelash at a time and they add length to the lashes, much like hair extensions. Eyelash extensions are permanent, but they do need to be reapplied in a touch up, every two weeks, as your real lashes fall out naturally every 10 – 12 days.

There are several benefits to permanent eyelash extensions. They look natural and give you fuller, thicker lashes. You can choose the length and the color of the lashes you want. Mascara is not needed, and neither is expensive eye makeup remover to dissolve the mascara. Since the lashes are permanent, they last through tears, sweat, showering, sleeping, and the sun.

The application process is relatively simple and needs to be done by a qualified beautician. The beautician will clean your eyelids and lashes, ensuring they are free of oil, makeup, and dirt. She will then put a special adhesive on the bottom of an extension and adhere it to the top of your natural lash. The extension will bond to the lash in about 10 seconds. This is done one lash at a time, with tweezers, so it will be time consuming. On average, about 30 to 80 lashes are used per eye, and the procedure can take around 2 hours. Afterwards, you will need to avoid water for about 2 hours, but then the lashes are permanent and can be enjoyed through any activity, even swimming!

Girls Go to Prom Dressed as Barbie Dolls

When it comes to prom we all get a little nervous before the big night. I mean, how can we not get nervous, everybody expects us to look "perfect" on prom. We all want to have the perfect prom dress, make-up and hairstyle. It's your night to shine and of course we all want to be in the spotlight. That where this article comes in hand, the artistic flare two British 16-year-olds brought to their prom. How cool is that? Dressing up as barbie doll for prom. I would never think of doing something like this for my prom, maybe Halloween. I love how these girls took creativity to the next level. This will go down in their high school history and be talked about for for years to come. Come on now, who is going to forget seeing two girls dressed up as barbie dolls at their high school prom, they're not. Great prom idea girls!

Sammy Burns and Megan Barton had the admirable impulse to do something unique for their prom. But I can’t say I’m thrilled with the concept that Sammy’s mother devised. “When Sammy was little she loved Barbie dolls and I thought they could go in boxes as Barbie dolls,” the 44-year-old business manager said.

The whole Burns family got involved in making the boxes, which took two weeks to complete. Sammy and Megan were then wheeled to the prom by family members dressed as delivery boys. The slow, hot walk took nearly 40 minutes.

In true Barbie form, the girls put looks before comfort to brave the claustrophobic boxes: “It was really hot and a little scary at first,” Sammy said. “But we soon got used to it and we kept smiling for everyone while they took pictures of us.”
