Hair

NUTS!!!! Hair is very fragile... haha. Sounds silly, but it is. To much heat and it will break. If you are a person who takes VERY good care of your hair you probably get trims every 6-12 weeks you use heat protectant and everything like that... You are still damaging your hair... Using a heat protectant and then adding heat will still damage your hair, maybe a little bit more slowly, but its still not good. You also have to be careful with shampoos and conditioners. Shampoo can really dry out your hair, thats why you should not be washing it every day. and then conditioners... they can add a layer of, I dont know what to call it. plastic?? to your hair and thats why you think it is so healthy looking because its shiny, but really it is the layer of rubber and that could also be the reason why your hair is really oily. and another reason why you shouldnt be putting conditioner on the top of your head.
I dont think there is a reason to have to use heat on your hair every day. why not work with your natural hair?? I have been in Denmark for 2 months and I have only used the sraightner ... 3 times... and I have been trying to work with my natural waves... and if I am going to put my hair up I do NOTHING to my hair. I dont braid it when it is wet. BAD!!! I have to say my hair is very healthy right now... I dont colour my hair. although I might put some high lights in my bangs... I dont know... I need a little lightness. but I dont do it... I havent been using heat. not washing my hair every day... unless I have been playing with it a lot... then I have to wash it again because playing with your hair will add more oils and that might also be a reason for it being greasy. using to much product could also be a reason for hair feeling greasy... your going through puberty and your natural oils are just exploding everywhere. haha. everyone goes through it, dont worry.

when you are buying shampoos and conditioners maybe sure they are the right pH level. look it up. but I think it is about 5-6 pH... I forget... I took cosmo and it was one fact that I totally knew... but now i dont... booo...

Oh. If any of you have tips about... not hair loss, but just losing a lot of hair... what do you do?? like... I am not balding. haha. but I lose a lot of hair... and I dont understand how I have hair left on my head... not good. but seriously... is it on emotional thing?? or... something you eat?? I dont know what to do about this issue.... and it has been happening for a long time... so it isnt recent...

Tips

Someone recently commented saying it would be easier to undertsand what I am talking about with a photo. I have thought about it in the past couple months, and I will do it, but I am traveling and can not do add photos right now. and I feel bad. The commenter also said she doesnt follow blogs without there being photos. Just relize, I dont ask people to follow my blog. I just want people to have a chance to give my blog a chance. don't say you won't follow because there are no photos, I dont think that is very fair for anyones blog. it is a very good tip about adding photos, and I will be doing it as soon as I can. thank you. :)

Support

I am going to fallow every Beauty Blog I come accross... I think it is important to support all bloggers that are blogging about the same thing as you are... You know what I mean?? I am not going to look blogs up, but when someone suggests for me to check out their blog I am going to check it out and fallow. We are writing about Makeup and Beauty products and everything. I think we have to support each other, kinda like online friends. we have one thing in common. I don think we should be like. oh. her blog isnt cool because no one is fallowing her. no. its not a competition. it is a group of people that enjoy the same girly things. like if people writing about video games. they should be supporting each other and getting to know the blogger in an online way... You know what I mean?? anyways

I just want you to know. give me your beauty blog and I will follow you. have I been using an a in follow?? or is it an a fallow... nope... okay... sorry...

anyways. it is not a competition.

Purple Liner

Have you tried purple liner? I have recently been really into using it instead of my black liner. It is lighter and made my eye colour pop. Purple eye shadow, liner, mascara, whatever, goes with everyones eye colour and skin colour. Dont be hesatant to use it or just try it. It is a beautiful colour that anyone can pull off and can become very playful and give you that little bit of colour that you feel you need. I only use my liner on my outer cornor of my eyes. I am finding hard to explain, but I just put it on the outer half of my lower lash line and the outer half of my regular lash line. It looks great. I have gotten so many complements on the look. I find that doing this with liner makes your... well, my eyes look bigger and brighter. After I apply the purple liner I add peach to my water line and then black mascara. Sometimes if I am or look tired I will just put some white on the inner cornors. but when I do this look I am usually in a rush... which is always. haha. but trust me. try some purple eyeliner. you might be surprised.

Lush Ultra Bland #2

I know I have done a review on this product before, but I have to say. IT IS AMAZING!!!! I LOVE this product. Ultra Bland is a cleanser from Lush for $29.95. I use it as my makeup remover and I just LOVE it!! I think it is so amazing. I dont know how to even say how great it is. I like to rub it all over my face and leave it for two minutes and then with a cloth and warm water and wipe it off. and I find that it is also very moisturizing so I dont have to use my everyday moisturizer after using this product. so. it takes my makeup off, cleans my face, and moisturizes all in one. I thought it was a great product in Canada, but in Denmark I... wow. I just think it is AMAZING!
This is what Lush says about their product

Ultrabland is a huge cult product. With a new almond oil base, this cream cleanser takes off make-up and cares for your face. It's gentle, but the deeply-cleansing oils reach down and remove stubborn dirt and makeup. Helen has used it every day for 13 years and has never looked back.

I am sorry I can not add pictures right now and I am not writing a blog every day like I was in Canada, but I havent been trying new products lately. and I cant put pictures on because this computer doesnt have enough memory to hold so many pictures and I cant figure out how to delete them. I cant figure out PC's and I dont know why... they are supposed to be SUPER easy to use, but I have issues...

Clean Face

It is VERY important to krrp your face clean. taking off all makeup and rinsing your face after the day even if you dont wear makeup. washing your face is very important. and protecting it. use a moisturizer to keep your face from getting dry. where I come from it is very dry so i had to use a god moisturizer, but now i am in a place where it is VERY humid and I dont need to use as much moisturizer, but it is still important to use it. Sun screen is VERY impotant. keeping your face protected from the sun will protect it from aging faster. makeup with SPF is better then nothing, but underneith there should always be something stronger that will last longer. washing your face before you go to bed is very important becasue it takes off all makeup and durt form your face. and in the morning cleaning you face is important because you will be starting with a clean base and take off any creams from the night. if you dont wear makeup it is even better to wash your face in the middle of the day. but the ideal way to have nice clear skin is to eat healthy. not just healthy, but to have an even diet. make sure you are drinking water. you need to be hydrated. and will make you feel less tired and even make you look less tired. veggies are very important and fruits. and meat and grains. Dairy I am not 100% sure about. I dont think having milk from an animal is very healthy. I am sure dairy is healthy in a way, but humans I believe, arent meant to drink milk from a cow. humans are meant to drink human milk... i mean... isnt that why women produce milk when they are or have a baby?? and then after breast feeding your not supposed to drink milk any more. that goes for yogurt and cheese as well. but I am not a food or health expert. I am just writing what I know. and it is true. you are what you eat. you eat healthy your skin will show it. you can apply all the products you want on your face, but it wont help if things inside arent taken care of.
Just remember. Keep your body healthy and clean and you will see differences. and nothing happens over night. be patient.

Back to school.

It is early August, it is time to start getting ready for school. fashion, makeup, school supplies, everything. Some of you may be just wanting to start wearing makeup but dont know what to buy. well. My 5 basics for your first products are...

Basic 5

-Mascara: mascara is in every girls makeup kit. it opens your eyes and makes them sparkle. If you are just starting and dont want to be too bold go for a brown. it is more natural then black.

-Eye shadow: get a natural light nutral colour. a tan, maybe with some shimmer, you do not NEED a brush. just use your finger. but remember. stick to a light tan peach colour. with a little bit of shimmer.

-Eye shadow: this time a darker colour. maybe something that is a light brown with a tint of purple. purple goes with any skin colour and eye colour. you would use this colour for the crease and outer corner to give your eyes a little bit more depth, dont over lap this colour to many times. you dont want it to be too drastic.

-Concealer: this is not needed at all on young faces. I personally dont think so anyways. ya sure peoplehave acne and stuff, but i found that cover up made my face a little bit worse, but if you want something i think concealer is good, only because it is just to cover the spots you dont want. just the odd pimple and around the nose because many girls have a red nostral area, oh, and if you think you have dark under eye circles.

-Lipgloss: any colour that you like, clear to purple, haha. anything would work. a soft pink is an easy pick. but anything that draws your eye.

You are probably wondering why I didnt add blush. and it is because if you arent using foundation you shouldnt need it... just pinch your cheeks a little bit and you will get some colour on your face, but it is all up to you. but to me all you NEED to start out is mascara and lipgloss. those are my top two. haha. that is what i started with. for about a year i just used mascara and lipgloss and then added liner, then eye shadow, and then i didnt use shadow or eyeliner, and i went back and forth, then i think it was grade... 9 i got my concealer or soemthing... and then foundation... and then i dont remember what i used for shadow... i feel like i had a lot, but i dont remember... I wish i did... I think i got rid of it because I got a BH pallet and i still have it and i dont always use eye shadow... you know... there is no reason to pile makeup onto your face all the time... use just mascara one day and then the next day use more... you dont have to look perfect all the time.

I dont know what the fashion is this year. I am not a huge fashion freak. haha. but i know here in Denmark it is over sized. over size shirts with leggings. BIG hit!!!! and I am getting really into it. I love the style here right now. get a nice pair of every day shoes... like... runners or something, something comfy, if that is heels or runners, it doesnt matter, then get some heels... soemthing nicer... also for every day or once and a while, whenever. but change it up. skinny jeans are still in. look it up. or just combine the things you like. you dont have to follow fashion if you dont like it. i never do... i like my sweaters and jeans. that is how i go almost every day.... but i make sure i have a variety of sweaters. and now i am learning to change up my shoes.

for a school bag. I dont really know what to say about this because i change mine ALL the time. I like the classic backback. simple. easy. everything fits in it and then you have your purse. you dont have to run to your locker all the time. if it looks like all the girls are just using their purses as a backpack kind of thing but you dont want to, dont. use the back pack system. and putting school stuff in your purse and kinda make it really heavy and weigh it down and it will get older faster, so if you are a person who pays a lot for a bag dont reck it by putting pencils and stuff in it. keep it clean and organized and nice.

Hope you all have a good year, and I might make more posts about school fashion, although I am not very good at it.

GOSH

GOSH is a drugstore brand I have found here in Denmark. I have bought only three products from there and they are the same thing, I have bought, a white eyeliner that i use as a highlight colour where ever i need highlight, and a peach eyeliner that i only use on my water line and inner corner, and a purple eyeliner that i use as a regular liner, and WOW!!! I love these liners! they are amazing! they are just so good. and colours are beautiful and they are smooth and just wonderful. I love the purple liner, I havent been using black when I am having a lazy makeup day, I use the purple, and it just makes my eyes more open... brighter. I have brown eyes and i think purple looks so good. I also love purple on green eyes, i think it looks amazing. i am curious how it would look on blue eyes... but wow. i saw a difference and it was so nice, ans the white liner is great for high light and i love it so much, i never thought white could make a difference but it totally does. and the peach on the water line is amazing as well because it is more natural and it just gives it a nice finish to eye makeup. i love it. if you have seen GOSH cosmetics buy something. i think you will be surprised! I love these liners. just so you know they are pencil. I have never used anything else, and i want to get into it more... :) I just dont have the money right now to be buying makeup left and right.
