Get Beautiful Eyes For Valentine’s Day

-By Kylie Tang-

There is still more than half month to go before Valentine’s Day, but you have already started to think about your makeup look for this big day with your loved one. What is your first priority when preparing yourself?

Eye contact is always powerful in forming relationship with others. We avoid looking at someone else in elevators or when driving, but we all like to look at the one we love. Beautiful eyes help make you warm, confident and likeable. Check out how to prepare glamorous eyes when going on a date with your Valentine or Valentine-to-be.

Treat Dark Circles With Boiled Eggs

Save your eyes from smartphone strain! Yes, using boiled eggs is an extremely old idea… but time will tell whether it works or not! While cold therapy instantly relieves mild eye strain, the warm compress is a long-term way to relax the muscles around your eyes. Seize your opportunity to apply this heat therapy before 14th February. You just need to:

Step 1. Boil two eggs until hard.

Step 2. Crack the eggs and wrap them with wet cloths.

Step 3. Apply the cloths to eyes, rubbing and moving them around until the eggs cool down.

No Heavy Eye Makeup That Day

Let him look into your eyes and admire their beauty on this special day. Put away your luxurious makeup and reveal a clear, real face for him. 

LUNASOL Petal Pure Eyes

A fresh face is always in style, and a natural look will be perfect for meeting your lover. I recommend colors that bring out the natural glow of your eyes. You need LUNASOL Petal Pure Eyes that creates brightness, clarity and softness. Let your eyes glow with their own inherent beauty.

You may put away your glamorous makeup, leaving a pure, clear face.

Handmade Eye Treatment

Dark circles, puffy eyes, and fine lines are our enemies. I guess many girls have difficulty in choosing an ideal eye care product. Yet, I am not going to recommend the best eye cream here. Recently I am trying “Gua Sha”, a very traditional Chinese medical treatment that makes use of a flat, horn-shaped jade tool to scrap on the skin of your face.

I am attracted by the benefits of Gua Sha! It is believed to stimulate blood circulation, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, plump and tighten skin, thus improving dark circles and puffiness. They sound amazing right? I feel refreshed and my eye cream absorbs easily and completely after Gua Sha (I hate having greasy eye cream on my eye skin). Read how to do it at home here: http://www.bondenavant.com/gua-sha-facial/. Be gentle on your skin when doing this traditional treatment. 

Melvita Avocado Oil

When doing Gua Sha, you need a face oil. Melvita has great face oils (even if you don’t want to work on Gua Sha). Melvita Avocado Oil contains 100% natural ingredients. It gives smoothing effect to the eye contour while regenerating and repairing skin. I like to put oil on eye skin and surprisingly, it can absorb well.

An Eye Cream For Him, Why Not?

Tell him you care about his eyes too. Men may have thousands of reasons of not using skincare but you can always prepare the best for him.

Biotherm Homme Force Supreme Eye Architect Serum

Help him tackle or prevent dark circles and wrinkles. Let him know you care about him more than he thinks. Blue Algae extract, Pro-Xylane™ and Life Plankton™ of Biotherm Homme Force Supreme Eye Architect Serum perform resurfacing and refirming effects. It features an easy-to-absorb formula that most men will like. 

Your eyes are the windows to your soul. Girls, work hard to get beautiful and romantic eyes for Valentine’s Day!

A “Natural” Experiment – An Alternative Approach On Haircare

----By Kylie Tang----

You had your hair dyed, curled or bleached last year, and you just made another color……You deserve to be the beautiful one! Yet your silk-like and good-looking hair seems to be an old story. I was addicted to various hair colors and styles, and it resulted in an enormous demand for haircare products. Some girls have tried the highest-rated products yet their efforts were in vain. “Which bottle shall I purchase next?” is often asked by girls with dried-out hair resulted by excessive, harsh style treatments.

Why did you buy the shampoos that you purchased recently? We bought them with thousands of reasons but we seem to be never satisfied with their haircare performances.

Attempt natural haircare, as you see the old ones might not be the best for you. How far are you willing to go for less-chemical products? Spend some months on the trial.

Before The Experiment, Understand “Shampoo”

The word “Shampoo” is derived from “champo” (Hindi), which means to massage or press. As early as the 1500s people combined soapberries and herbs to keep their hair clean. Shampoo has evolved over the years and was identified to use a couple times a week at most. Shampoo, in the old days, was recognized with a unitary usage to remove dirt from the scalp. Nobody needed to get functions like hair conditioning, moisturizing, color conservation or with good texture. On the contrary, now most of us desire a multi-purpose shampoo to be the very initial step in haircare, to cure our overstrained hair.

Less Is More

You ought to experiment an additive-free shampoo. It doesn’t mean to use a very primordial (some can’t even produce the lather) shampoo. Jessa Blades, a natural beauty artist, suggests avoiding:

-          Parabens (A preservative)

-          Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (A lather-producing agent)

-          Petrolatum (Creates shiny hair)

-          Propylene Glycol (Hair becomes smooth)

-          Dimethicone (Lubricates the surface of the hair), etc.

Using Dimethicone or not in haircare is still a controversial issue. To me, I find the disadvantages of Dimethicone outweigh its benefits. I value a shampoo that prepares hair for the next treatments. Yet, Dimethicone adds another layer to one’s hair, builds up and makes the hair heavy. I highly recommend a shampoo that simply clarifies the scalp (or even removes Dimethicone). Clean up, and that’s enough.

John Masters Organics Bare Unscented Shampoo (All Hair Types)

Try John Masters Organics Bare Unscented Shampoo. It features no Dimethicone, SLS and even fragrance. Organic extracts of Chamomile, White Tea and Jojoba oil gently cleanse your hair.

Melvita Expert Repairing Shampoo (For Dry and Damaged Hair)

I also like Melvita Expert Repairing Shampoo. It’s sulfate-free with good properties of Rose Hip, Camellia and Calendula Flower Oils. If you are concerned about your dry, damaged hair, let Melvita help you.

Make Use Of Good Herbs

We may not understand what the ingredients on the labels of shampoos are about, but it seems likely we know some of the names of flowers (or plants). I must say it’s an experiment (or a trial) – elements you might not have faith in them before. They are excellent nourishment indeed.

-          Argan, Camellia and Jojoba Oil restore over-processed hair

-          Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera keep scalp moisturized

-          Shea Butter enhances the shine and color of hair

Andalou Argan Stem Cells Conditioner (Thinning Hair Treatment)

Yes it’s okay to have a silicone-free conditioner. Andalou Argan Stem Cells Conditioner with Argan Stem Cells help strengthen strands with less breakage. It results in healthier hair and creates an amplified volume.

RENE FURTERER Absolue Keratine Ultimate Renewal Mask (Extremely Damaged, Brittle Hair)

Plant Keratin, Biocymentine and Camelina work well for extremely damaged hair. RENE FURTERER Absolue Keratine Ultimate Renewal Mask is a good choice for SOS treatment.

Olioseta Oro Del Marocco Oil Treatment for Blonde-Fine Hair Argan and Linseed Oil

I love oils! 2 lovable oils, Certified Organic Argan and Linseed Oil, are key ingredients of Olioseta Oro Del Marocco Oil Treatment for Blonde-Fine Hair Argan and Linseed Oil.

Be Healthy

The hair experiment requires you to consume more good food in order for it to succeed more easily. Avocados, nuts, flaxseeds contain Protein, Omega-3 fatty acids and iron that are hair-healthy while spinach, guava and sweet potatoes are also good choices.

Haircare Is Very Personal

That’s the truth. So which bottle shall you purchase next? Having a relatively low-chemical haircare routine means you are putting bounds to the drawbacks of harmful substances to your hair. I must congratulate you if you have discovered your ideal haircare. But keep trying, keep experimenting!
