Day 8

So I am not feeling so hot today, but in any case I figured I would do this one today.
It's an easy one.

Day 8. Have a beauty secret (e.g. hair tip, make up tip)? Share, please!

So, beauty tips, I have a bunch. After going through so many phases and styles I have found what works for me, how I think I look best, and a really quick and easy routine for the morning.

My first tip is Targets Up brand, so I used to have a lot more money than I do now, and I used brand name products
all the time, now I can't so much afford to, after trying out bunches of store brands (CVS, Walgreens, ect.) I fond the one that is truest to the name brand products, I guess this is really a matter of opinion because I haven't done tests and crap, but for what I use I am pretty sure I am right.
The 2 I couldn't live without:


I Love this lotion baceuse it's unscented (comapirable to Avino) works so well and I use it on my tattoos even (instead of A&D or tattoogoo)!

My second tip, also having to do with this lotion, in the winter my hair gets soo staticky, because its so fine, normally not a huge issue but I am growing out my hair anf it clings to my neck (worst feeling ever!) What I foud was the best way to fix this without making my hair greesy is to take a dine size blob of lotion and rub it around my palms and then into just the ends of my hair. TA-DA bye bye static.

2 more and then I am done!

I really like using packed powder eyeliner, I have this really great revlon matte jet back one, it's in a 4 pack but I really only use the black. I don't like using eye primer or finisher because well, they are expencive, the problem is though if you don't within 10 minutes you have the black lines above the crase on your eyelid and it looks kinda dumb. Well to keep the eyeliner in place I use a qtip and spray some hair spray on the end and dab the liner (dabbing is really important because you will wipe off or smudge the eyeliner otherwise). I use Freeze It brand hair spray (the origanal hold), and it washes off fine with face wash and water.
*I will put up some pictures of this tomorrow or Wednesday*

And my last tip!
Soy milk! I don't necessarily think its the soy milk as much as the lack of dairy that does it, but when I am really good about not eating or drinking dairy my skin clears up. I don't really have bad acne (anymore) but I will get 1 or 2 pimples now and then but if I drink Soy in my cereal and coffee and don't eat tons of cheese my skin looks a lot better. This one really is backed by science, because of the hormones in cow milk now days it affects your body in a lot of crazy ways. I am not going to get too preachy about it because dairy is one of the things I tend to get that way about, but trust me it works!!


That's all for now.
