When massaged into the scalp, coconut oil helps to improve blood circulation, supporting hair growth. It is important to massage the coconut oil into the scalp with gentle pressure for 10 minutes, 3 or 4 times per week. If you want to just focus on scalp conditioning and hair growth, you will only need 1 teaspoon.

Why do you wear makeup

/ Analucascardigos / 5 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back …..

If you ask different women the question “Why do women wear makeup?”  There is no one correct answer as women have their own reasons for wearing cosmetics.

For a Clearer Complexion

For women who have complexion issues, makeup can help disguise problem areas, although the main focus should be on a skin care routine to maintain clear skin. Concealers can hide dark under eye circles or blemishes. Foundations can smooth your complexion into an even-toned canvas. Makeup is great for creating the illusion of perfect skin if used the right way.

To Look Attractive or Glamorous

If you want to glam up your look, for a big night out or a special date, makeup will help you do that. You can choose whichever look you like best. One day may include smoky  eyes , shimmery lipstick, while the next might find you in the mood for thin black eyeliner and classic red lips.

Some women wear makeup to attract someone special. While men’s opinions differ on what kind of makeup they like to see on women, it’s better for women to wear what makes them feel attractive and confident.

Some  want to appear sultry and glamorous, others prefer a very natural look. They still use makeup to achieve it, but the idea is to have a polished look without looking like she’s wearing makeup. Done correctly, a woman may have on foundation, mascara and lip color without anyone even realizing it.

 Makes women feel more confident ….. 

It helps to improve your appearance and boost your confidence, and also improve your entire look. Similarly, the fact that we wear deodorant each day, so that we smell clean and fresh, women wear makeup to feel confident too.

5 Beauty product I can’t live without

/ Analucascardigos / 8 Comments

Hi everyone, Welcome back to my blog;

When it comes to makeup there are certain products that I just can’t live without. I think everyone has their favorite products that they turn to time and time again. Products that help to enhance and hide my best and worst features, which is why I wanted to share with you all some of the makeup I can’t live without.

First up is concealer. I think most people would agree that concealer can be your best friend. If you’ve had a late night, bad night’s sleep or want to hide a blemish, then concealer is your answer. One of my favorite is the Maybelline instant anti-age . 

Next is foundation, for me is essential on my eveyday makeup and my favorite at the moment Dior skin Forever click here

Next up is mascara and one of my favorites is the Loreal telescopic extra black. This mascara is  a great product. Stands on lashes all day.  volumise and deliver thicker lashes that look up to 60% longer.

Moving to bronzer, I love bronze my skin. I do not have a favorite one but at the moment I love to use Makeup Revolution Bronze, shimmer & highlight all in one with this blended powder which can be blended easily. Either use swirled together, or separate to achieve the look I want.

 

Finally it’s time for the lips and one of my favorite lipstick  – YSL Rouge volupte Rouge Volupté Shine is wrapped in an elegant, romantic gold case: a true must have for every hand bag.  

 

So this is the makeup I can’t live without. What makeup could you not live without?
