Beauty Disaster Solutions! (cont.)

Hi girls! Earlier, we posted some solutions on how to take care of that nasty, last minute blemish. Today, we will be talking about how to solve another common beauty disaster! It's summer and that means it's hot!! Along with that temperature change comes our next beauty disaster....

Greasy Hair

There are many easy fixes for this common problem.

Change Your Part:
Most of our hair's greasiness is focused on our part. To hide this, you can simply deepen your part. This is a quick and easy fix that can be done anywhere at any time!

Dry Shampoo:
For a more lasting fix that doesn't change your hair style, dry shampoo is always a reliable option. It's perfect for that day that you wake up late and need to be somewhere. This makes your hair look clean and fresh like you just took a shower, but in half the time! Our favorite is...

Tresemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo
$6
Drugstores

If you don't want to spend money, there are many recipes for dry shampoos you can make at home with materials you already have. Just follow this link for directions!

Baby Powder:

This is a fix that is easy and is usually already available without going to the store. Just sprinkle a tiny bit a your roots and blend in with your fingers. They even have small containers that you can carry in your purse for on the go! Just make sure not to add TOO much (or you'll have white hair)! 

We hope these tips will help you if you ever experience this very common beauty disaster! Stay tuned for more and email some that you might want us to do!!

Summer nail trends!

Hey girls! It's summer so that means nails nails nails! It's time to show off your toes while lounging poolside. Whether you go to get them done or do them yourself, sometimes it's hard to decide on a color or pattern. These current trends might inspire you!

Bold and Bright

Add a pop of electrifying color to your outfit! Try not to be too matchy-matchy here. If you're wearing pink, go for a turquoise or mint. If you're wearing green, go for a blue or pink!

Mismatch

Try a different color on each of your fingers! Or if your bold enough...do each hand a different color! If you want something more subtle, try a slightly different color on the same hand.

Patterned
While patterns may be intimidating, they add interest to any outfit. Mixing patterns is trending right now, so don't be afraid to try it! 

We've been inspired by these lovely nails, and we hope you are inspired to create your own designs! Don't forget to share your ideas with us!

Beauty Disaster Solutions!

We know that sometimes we can get discouraged when we are plaqued by beauty disasters...But, the truth is many of these so-called "disasters" are easily fixable with a few easy tricks! From unexpected zits to serious sunburns, there is usually a simple solution! The next few days, we will be sharing a new beauty disaster and it's solutions! Today's is.....

Unexpected Zits


Zit Zapper:

If you want a fast and super-easy fix, we recommend a brand-named zip zapper (like the one below). These have powerful anti-bacterial medicine that will help reduce redness and swelling, while curing the zit at its source: bacteria.

e.l.f Essential Zip Zapper

$3.15

www.Amazon.com

 Ice and Benzoyl Treatment:

There is another solution, however, that doesn't require buying anything extra. In fact, it can be done with items already found in your home! Just find some ice and Benzoyl peroxide! The ice helps reduce swelling and inflammation that can occur when a zit is just forming. The benzoyl introduces oxygen into the pore, thereby killing the acne-causing bacteria that lies there. When this bacteria is gone, the zit disappears!

We hope you found these tips helpful! Stay tuned for tomorrow's beauty disaster post! Stay beautiful!
