Stop Fearing Blush:  Sorry moms, this tip is gonna hurt your feelings... Girls, if your mom is like ours, she lived through the 80's, when bad fashion, and even worse hair and makeup was all the rage.  You've seen the pictures right?  Anyways, it left us fearing blush, because someone thought it was a good idea to wear hot pink blush in a solid line through the middle of their face.  Well good news!  That trend is long gone, however, blush is here to stay, and it's the most important product you should wear!  True Story!  Here's how to highlight your cheekbones, in an up-to-date way:  Skip heavy liquid foundations, especially in the summer.  Instead, opt for a powder to even out your skin tone.  After powder, apply blush to accent the apples of your cheeks. Swirl a Show Stopper blush brush over the powder to coat your brush. Tap the brush on the corner of the compact to shake off the excess powder. Smile to find the apples of your cheeks. Add the color to the center of your cheeks and up towards your ears. Add one final sweep of powder along your cheekbones to complete the look.  Ps.  Mom, I'm sorry I had to make an example out of you, but I saw the pictures...you asked for it!  ;)  

 Add this look to your summer makeup wardrobe!  The Bright Gold will look amazing against your Fancy Tan!

Summer is right around the corner and so is summer fashion. Knowing your body type is the first step to building the movie star wardrobe you always wanted. Check out these tips and tricks to see what will look best on your body. and whatever your body type is, BE PROUD!

Pear Shape: Slim on top and bottom heavy.

What makes you fancy: Your sensual, feminine shape.

Fancy style: Flowing lines. An empire-line dress is perfect for your body shape.

Hourglass Shape: Rounded on your top and bottom half, with a slim waist.

What makes you fancy: You have an incredibly sexy shape, so don't try to slim it down in anything too short or too tight.

Fancy  styles: shapes that are fitted but not tight, and go for nipped-in waists and V-necks to emphasise your bust.

Boyish: equal width shoulders and hips, a small chest and an undefined waist.

What makes you fancy: A toned body!

Fancy styles: balance your proportions with fitted tops that flatter your breast (avoid round necks or plunging necklines that tend to flatten small busts). A-line skirts with a belt at the waist and flared bottom also suit you. Length is fine!

Slim: You're slim all over, with very little definition at the waist and hips and a small chest.

What makes you fancy: natural elegance. All clothes look good on you!

Fancy styles: volume! You can get away with flounces, pleats, drapes and petticoats, provided you're tall enough! You also look great in short styles and large patterns (big flowers and diamonds). These are this season's strong points and they'll 'fill out' your figure a bit.

Top Heavy: You have a top-heavy figure (you're quite big built, with a generous chest, a slim bottom half and slim legs).

What makes you fancy: your legs and chest (just remember the rule: it's either legs or chest on show, not both!)

Fancy styles: anything that attracts attention to the lower part of your body: a short dress or one with slits will subtly reveal a knee or bit of calf when you're dancing. Forget tops with too much detail - go for simple, vertical lines.

Fancy Tip of the Day: How to heal Sunburn

1.) Drink lots of water, your skin and body is already dehydrated, you should be drinking half of your body weight in ounces per day.

2.) Add some aloe vera, the thick, gel-like juice of the aloe vera plant can take the sting and redness out of a sunburn. This healing plant can be found in your local grocery store. Simply slit open one of the broad leaves and apply the gel directly to the burn. Apply five to six times per day for several days. 

3.) Take a cool shower or bath and moisturize. To prevent drying, apply moisturizer immediately after your shower or bath. For cooling relief of pain and dryness, chill the moisturizer in the refrigerator before using.

4.) Remember for next time you're going to have a long day of fun in the sun to use no less then SPF15 on your skin. You should be wearing SPF everyday, even in the winter!

Taking care of your eyebrows is not a female thing. Men should also care for their eyebrows. The difference is that men don’t need to pluck each individual hair with the patience, daily dedication and precision that women do. Eyebrow maintenance for men is a once in a while event, but that does not make it unimportant. On the contrary – eyebrows are detrimental to the expression of your face.

Should you be messing with your eyebrows at all?

Before you decide to shape your eyebrows take a good look in the mirror to determine whether this is necessary. Don’t go out and buy tweezers just because someone said you should. Your appearance and maintenance are a matter of personal choice.

The most frequent problem – hair between the eyebrows

If you like the look of connecting eyebrows, by all means keep it. However if the hair between your eyebrows is a lot and you decide to remove it, use tweezers. Shaving it is a very bad idea, so do not be tempted to run the razor above your nose while shaving in the morning. Once you shave those hairs, you will have to do this daily, yet this method of hair removal is not at all precise and can cause skin irritation.

Eyebrows that are too long

If the hairs of your eyebrows have a tendency to stick out, before getting annoyed and doing anything rash try to locate where the problem is. Isolate the jutting hairs and clip the extra millimeters away with small manicure scissors. Do not cut too low! If your eyebrow hairs are too short they will continue to stick out, but will look much worse and far more unnatural than when they were longer.

Eyebrows that are too thick

Observe your eyebrows in the mirror after taking a shower. Brush them in the direction of hair growth. Then use tweezers to remove a few of the extra hairs. Never tweeze more than one hair at a time. If you are in doubt, better wait. You can always pluck the hair out later, but you can’t plant it back in. When thinning out your eyebrows, do not overdo it. Keep tweezing to a minimum. Avoid removing hairs from the upper side of the eyebrow. Work from the nose outward.

Other methods

In beauty salons eyebrows are shaped with hot wax masks. However experimenting with hot wax at home can be dangerous, especially when using it on your face. Do not use hair-removal lotions either, because the skin around the eyes is extremely sensitive.

Very important!

Whatever you decide to do with your eyebrows, keep in mind that you will need not only tools such as scissors and tweezers, but also good lighting.

Also, if you are using tweezers to shape your eyebrows, use them for this job only. You can not use them for tweaking, fine-tuning and cleaning small objects. If you are going to use them on your eyebrows, they must be clean.

 Fancy Tip of the Day: Smooth Sleek Legs

When you get that perfect new mini skirt or little black dress, don't be afraid of having it ruined by hairy legs. Do you want to shave your legs and get them as smooth and silky as possible? Follow these steps for super smooth, ravishing, sleek legs that will have people in awe you.

• Turn on the water. Make sure the shower (or bath) is warm to open pores, which will give you a closer shave. Avoid using hot water, which can dry out your skin and increase risks of razor burn. Take your usual shower, or bath, to allow the leg hair to soften.

• Exfoliate your legs. Use a loofah, and exfoliating cream, to remove dead skin cells. This will help your skin be clear and your leg hairs as exposed as possible for a close shave.

• Apply shaving cream. Squirt a nice, plump dollop into your hand and lather up on your legs as if it were shampoo. Be sure to cover every spot, including down to the ankle. Create a light layer over your leg; too thick a layer can clog your razor.

• Use a fresh razor to shave your legs. Shave up your legs, against the grain in long strokes. Rinse the razor under a stream of water after each stroke. Be sure to tackle around the ankles and knees, adding extra shaving cream as necessary on this tricky spots.

• Rinse your legs with cool water. Cool water will close the pores. Pat your legs dry, taking care not to rub them vigorously

• Apply a thick layer of lotion. Use a thick moisturizer, such as body butter, if you have particularly dry skin. Rub in a generous amount, concentrating on the ankles and knees once again to keep them supple.

• All finished! Now go show off those super smooth dress worthy legs!

Fancy Tip of the Day: SMILE

"Everyone knows that the sweetest thing you'll ever see in the whole wide world is a happy girl!" - Martina McBride

People who frequently smile are perceived to be more in control, at ease and attractive than those who don't. So why wouldn't you smile?  Have your teeth lost their luster? Teeth discoloration is a common dental problem that annoys men and women alike. Before you think about an expensive trip to the dentist, give this fancy tip a try.  

Put a tiny bit of toothpaste into a small cup, mix in one teaspoon baking soda plus one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide, and half a teaspoon water. Thoroughly mix then brush your teeth for two minutes. Remember to do it once a week until you have reached the results you want. Once your teeth are good and white, limit yourself to using the whitening treatment once every month or two.
