7 Steps to Become Pretty

Monday, February 19th, 2007

Breezy, easy tips to help you look like sunshine even on the gloomiest days.

  1. Get Happy Feet. Rainy season means tucking your flip-flops away and sporting those good ol’ trusty sneakers. But the long hours in sweaty sneaks can easily cause blisters and calluses. The best remedy? Geta pedicure at a trusty salon, minus the polish. Afterwards, give your feet a little treat with a mini-foot spa: Before bedtime, smother some petroleum jelly on your tootsies, then slip into socks. The warmth of the socks will allow your skin to absorb the petroleum jelly. When you wake up the next day, you’re graced with smooth, soft, happy feet! (more…)

    1. I will keep all my makeup sponges clean and crud-free. After all, sponges are for putting on makeup, not mud.

    3. I will use conditioner on my hair.
    4. I will use pore strips to keep my nose whitehead-free.

How to take care of your eyebrows

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

Nothing can enhance a woman’s beauty like beautiful brows. Well-defined, well-groomed brows flatter the face—they open up, enlarge and brighten the eyes so that you’ll need less makeup. Says Propaganda makeup artist Marlon Rivera, “Nice brows make you look polished and organize the features on your face instantly. People look at your eyes first, so looking at unkempt brows is like looking at a messy painting.”

Tweeze Easy
Tweezing gives you the best control over the shape compared to waxing and threading. Shaving causes faster hair re-growth and may irritate the skin on that area. Tweezing can hurt at first, but you’ll get immune to the pain in time (numb the are with ice, warm water or toothache drops).

Fresh Way to Start

EYES. Hold on to last year’s rich plum tints—but make room for chirpier hues, like those found in Lancôme’s latest Color Focus Palette in Petite Fleur d’Occident, P2,995. The chic compact houses vibrant (yet super sheer) shades that brighten your peepers with a fresh wash of color.

LIPS. Cushion creased and dry lips with a softening balm that has a tiny hint of color (Bonus: It will perk things up in the kissing arena). Try: Kiehl’s SPF15 Lip Balm in 30G, P700.
