Makeup is true art

It's fascinating to read about the world of makeup artists! Francesca Tolot, for example, represented by Cloutier Remix, has done makeup for dozens of celebrities, magazine covers, music videos, and more. But her true first passion? Renaissance Art! She's Italian-born and gets her inspiration for colors and mixing from that medium. I think it's so fascinating (see title link). So celebrities like Demi Lovato (whom she styled) can just worry about how nice their butts are looking in certain dresses!

The Secret's out for Body Splashes

Secret Scent Expressions makes great antiperspirants and deodorants, but their scented body splashes make you feel ultra-nice. The So Very Summer Berry is my personal favorite and keeps me fresh all day. Buy it for just $4 (see title link).

Surprising guy stats

If you feel insecure about yourself in a swimsuit, you're not the only one to feel it. Even guys get nervous, and 63% even admit to spraying deodorant down their swim trunks for the beach (see title link)!

Bikini Waxing

Sally Hansen Naturally Bare Waxing Strips for Body can be a drugstore option for your lasting bikini wax. Results really do last despite the painful process. A good tip is to take aspirin 20 minutes before you start and prep the area with talcum powder, so excess oil is absorbed and the wax makes direct contact with your hair. Costs just $8 (see title link). Good for the environment, too, since they are biodegradeable! Results last up to 8 weeks and the wax can be rinsed off with water.

Mousse for thick hair

Worst mousse for thick hair? Probably Garnier. That product lasts for about an hour before transforming your locks into frizz-nation. But Pantene Medium-Thick Flowing Body Mousse can really help to tame your hair while giving it extra shine. If you put it on when your hair is wet and then blow-dry while upside down, it'll become super-touchable to make you look polished. Just $3.99 (see title link).

Soft Skin

In the winter, my skin gets super-flaky. I always forget to put lotion on my body (I never forget my face! A girl's gotta look good, after all). Now I've found something that has such an amazing scent that I never forget to apply it.
It's Fruits & Passion Grapefruit-Guava Quenching Body Butter. For the body, it feels fresh, with the shea butter and grape seed oil ingredients. It leaves your skin delicately scented. Simply radiant, and costs $22 (see title link).

Get that hair off!

Shaving can be SUCH a nuisance. Plucking, too. But have you tried waxing with Sally Hansen's Hair Remover Wax Strip Kit , for Body, Legs, Arms & Bikini (see title link)? It makes you hair free by just pressing it on and pulling off. Painful? Maybe a little, but the pre-waxed strips can be used wherever, whenever. Their effects last up to 8 weeks. Use Beauty that Works for the easiest way to wax. It works on short hair as well, and is dermatologist tested.
