Straighten Your Hairs With Ironing
If you like rod-straight hair (think Rema Khan), ironing hair is easier to do at home than blowdrying, but ironing is harsh on the hair and again, it only lasts until the next wash. So if you iron your hair regularly, avoid other chemical treatments such as colouring your hair. Trim your hair regularly to keep split ends in check and maintain your length at a few inches below your shoulders.
If you want to keep it longer like waist-length, avoid ironing the ends of your hair and iron it only from the top. Let the ends remain curly. In this manner the ends will be improved and you will be able to grow hair longer. Consider investing in a hair iron, where the ironing plates are made from ceramide. These irons are more expensive than regular irons but are more effective and also far, far gentler on hair. If a ceramide iron is beyond your budget, consider going in for a steam iron instead. Make sure you try out the iron before buying it as you do not want to be wedged with an ineffective hair iron.

Killing eyes with dashing colours..
Colored contact lenses make great accessories for any outfit, night out or occasion. We have fashion lenses perfect for parties and also for clubbing, gothic or an alternative style.
For years contact lenses were designed with only function in mind. Anyone with vision problems who didn’t want to wear glasses could consult their eye care professional and make the change. Contact lenses were an unnoticeable and easy way to correct vision.
Colored Contact Lenses....
Colored contact lenses have a tint, color or design embedded right on the contact lens itself. The center portion that fits over your pupil remains clear to allow your vision to be unimpeded.
The tints can enhance your natural eye color, completely change your eye color or for a really wild look, imprint crazy designs or logos right on the iris.
Like you could have blue eyes one day, brown eyes the next and cat eyes on the weekend. They are fashion, flexible and attractive!
When buying colored contact lenses there are two main categories of contact lenses to choose..
Enhancer Contact Lenses and Opaque Contact Lenses.
Enhancer Contact Lenses
The enhancement contacts can make your eyes sparkle, make them appear brighter, and change the hue slightly. They are best for people who have eyes that are light in color.
Opaque Contact Lenses
The opaque lenses can totally change the color of your eyes, and they are great for people who have darker eyes, such as brown. Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting the right type of color contact lenses for your needs.
Who Can Wear Colored Contact Lenses...
Many colored contacts can be ordered in ‘plano’ form for people who do not need vision correction. There are also designs for people who require bifocal correction and for those with astigmatism.
For anyone wishing to use colored contact lenses you do require an appointment with an eye care professional and a prescription, even if you have 20/20 vision. Contact lenses need to be fitted properly to the curvature of your eye for a safe and comfortable fit.
Makes killing looks at daytime
Daytime Makeup Tips
Daytime makeup is easily grubby by most women and generally bend towards "a little more than needed" or "too less to even make a difference". Learn the best way to apply makeup for daytime step-by-step for a soft, natural look.
Foundation
Daytime makeup should begin with a fresh, clean face before applying a foundation to match your skin tone. Small dabs from a flat sponge or from your fingertips can be used. The sponge is needed to blend and smooth the foundation, omitting the neck or chin area.
Concealer and Powder
A concealer can be applied with fingertips or a brush on problem areas, such as redness or the darkening of the eyelid. The next step is dusting the entire face with powder, with sunscreen if necessary, using a large, round brush.
Eye Shadow
Eye shadow, in a neutral tone, is applied over the entire eyelid, with a brush or sponge. In general, a darker shade of eye shadow is applied in the crease of the eyelid and a paler highlighter is used on the eyebrow bone.
Eye Liner
A thin line of eyeliner is drawn from the inner to the outer corner of the eyelid at the base of the eyelashes, using a brush, pencil, or other applicator. Lining the lower lashes is optional, but lining within the rim of the eye is unsafe. Brush or pencil in color to match your eyebrows, not your hair, filling in with no severe arching or defining.
Mascara
The next step is applying mascara, with a brush or wand in two separate coats, allowing adequate drying time.
Blush
Blush should be brushed the length of the cheekbone toward your ear, following with a sponge to blend the color.
Lipstick
The finishing touch is lipstick in a shade to complement your daytime makeup. Using a lip lining pencil or brush helps to compensate for thin lips or small mouths.

When applied on the lower inner edge of the eye it can be started from the innermost corner or from the middle to the outer corner of the eye.
