Hairstyles for Curly Hair - Women
No matter what your hair length is, you can create different hairstyles for curly hair on every occasion. Here are some ways of making those curls look absolutely ravishing.

Braids for Curly Hair
To braid your curls, pull your hair back into a loose ponytail and start tying them at the base of the skull. Leave 2-3 inches at the end and tie it with a cute scrunchie. If the shorter curls are coming out of the braid, let them be. The cute curls around your neck and face will give it a classic look. Soft, sexy curls left at shoulder length make a perfect hairstyle for thinner face shapes.

Half Up, Half Down Look
If you're looking for hairstyles for naturally curly hair, then look no further. Once you have washed your hair, let them dry naturally and untangle hair with your fingers. As your curls start to show, use some anti-frizz serum and apply it to your hair. Take some hair from the top and tie it behind with cute accessories, leaving the rest of the hair to fall back. This style is perfect for all occasions and especially when you're in a hurry.

Shoulder Length Curly Bob
To get the best glamorous looking hairstyle for short hair, opt for short curly bounce style. This 1940s style has an old Hollywood movie look and gives a unique dimension to your face. You can use a curling iron and styling cream to get this style, as it gives amazing bounce and wave to your curls. Once the look is finished, you won't have to worry about retouching the hairstyle.
Hairstyles for Curly Hair - Men
Men with curly hair look adorable. If you don't believe me, just look at Orlando Bloom, Justin Timberlake, Lenny Kravitz, Ryan Philippe, and Adrian Grenier. Let's take a look at how you can get those cute curly hairstyles for curly hair.




Shoulder-length Curls

The best example for this hairstyle would be Orlando Bloom. If you have long shoulder-length curly hair, then this hairstyle is great at maintaining them. After shampoo and conditioner, run your fingers through your hair to disentangle them. To separate and add shine to the curls, apply some anti-frizz serum.

Medium Layers
This is one of the versatile hairstyles for curly hair. It's cut and styled with medium layers all around and is supposed to be worn loose. Use a bit of liquid pomade which will give shine and separate the hair.

Long Layers
Shampoo and condition your hair and before your hair gets time to dry, take few dollops of hair cream and apply to your hair. Keep scrunching the hair from time to time, until it has dried completely. This look works best for long layers of hair all over the head.

Create a Suntan Tattoo

With all the various kinds of temporary tattoos, there's one kind of body design that doesn't use ink. Instead, it uses the sun to create a design using the body's natural process that results in a suntan. It's a suntan tattoo!

It works like this: When exposed to the sun's rays, the human skin responds by producing a substance known as melanin for protection. This is a kind of darker pigment that causes freckles and suntans. How well a person tans depends upon the amount of melanin he or she has and how it's distributed. That's why people with lighter complexions may tan less - or burn more! - than people with darker skin.

Here's How To Create A Suntan Tattoo Of Your Own

You'll need an old tight-fitting shirt and pants that you can cut apart, a lounge chair or beach towel, sunscreen of SPF10 rating (or less), and about two hours of your time. Oh, and of course, the sun.

1. First decide whether you want a suntan tattoo on both upper and lower parts of your body, or either the upper or lower. This will determine whether you use both articles of clothing or just one to make your design.

2. Next, choose the shape you want for the suntan tattoo, and cut that design out of the shirt and/or pants you'll wear while you're in the sun. Should your design be complicated, you can use body tape to cover the areas you don't want tanned.

3. Now take your sunscreen, a trashy novel, your lounge chair or beach towel and a cool drink and head outside to a sunny spot. Apply sunscreen at intervals according to the directions for your type of skin. Be sure to turn over periodically if you've designed a suntan tattoo that's on two sides of your body.

Although it takes two to three hours of sun to create a suntan tattoo, your exposure time should be determined by how fast it normally takes your skin to tan using good sunscreen. Remember, sunscreen filters out the most harmful rays, but not all of them. That's why you can still get a suntan while using sunscreen.

Another thing to remember is that your suntan tattoo will continue to darken after you've gone inside. That's why the tattoo isn't finished until the next morning and why it may be better to stay outside less time than you think to tan, especially if you tan or burn easily.

Beauty Tips

Make your Make up a Masterpiece

To make your makeup a masterpiece, first you need to know some simple tricks that are very easy to implement. The results will no doubt be the best.

Black eye makeup is very much in order these days, but they aren’t easy to achieve. My proposition to you is that you follow a series of suggestions and you will see how you will achieve geniune results.

The first thing I propose to you is that you apply dark circle concealor. Also apply this to the eyelid to even the tone out. This will set the eyeshadow in better. Don’t apply foundation because the dark eyeshadow will fall onto your foundation and cause it to darken. In the end your foundation stained with black eyeshadow.

Now we are going to start applying the eyeshadow. Make an arch just above the natural crease of the eyelid. You can apply this with your eyes open (this helps to see where the shading will be). Once you have marked the arch you can fill in and apply shadow on the eyelid with small strokes. Then blend.

Once you have applied the black makeup on the eyes, now you can apply foundation. You can now finish with applying lip color and blush.

Apply mascara. It’s very important that you apply from root to tips so that they can pop. If you don’t do this, they won’t be to visible and they’ll look unfinished. Many times when we apply mascara, we accidentally smear some mascara on our eyelid. Do not worry; there is a simple solution: Let the mascara dry, then remove it with a cotton swab or Q-tip. It can be removed easily when the mascara is dry.

If the brush that comes with the mascara has excessive mascara on it, use an eyebrow brush. Put some of the excess mascara on it and the apply it. This will ensure that the mascara won’t be caked on. And the brush can be used to brush eyebrows and eyelashes.


Beauty Tips For Winter

One of winters biggest beauty challenges is dealing with dry, static-y conditions created by the combination of very low moisture in the air and cold outdoor temperatures. Typically worst from November through February, static is the culprit behind clinging trousers, flyaway hair and the snap-crackle-pops that occur when you take off your winter coat and scarf.

When the outside temperatures dip and the inside heat cranks up, its vital to have a few tricks up your static-free sleeves. The makers of Static Guard anti-static spray, who created the Static Index to help consumers recognize and prepare for high static conditions in their area, offer the following tips on how to stay stylish during the harsh winter months.

Women on the go should consider keeping a multiple use lip/eye/cheek pencil in their purse for touch-ups during the day. And always keep a tube of lip balm handy in your pocket to ward off chapped, dry lips.
Stop hair from frizzing by spraying combs or brushes with Static Guard then running it lightly through hair after styling and before hairspray. The versatile product is essential for cutting static on the inside of hats and jacket hoods, too. For a one-two punch, spritz the inside of your pants legs and skirts to further prevent static cling. Be sure to keep a handy tote-size can in the purse or car for static emergencies.

For a dewy, youthful look, mix cream or liquid blush with a dab of petroleum jelly and apply to dry cheeks.

Dont forget your hands! Lock in moisture by slathering on a good hydrating lotion before bed and after the mornings shower.

Water works: Drink lots of water to moisturize from the inside out, and lightly mist facial skin with distilled water in a small spray bottle after applying makeup to keep it fresh throughout the day.

Woman's Heart Jewelry


When it comes to buying gifts for Valentine's Day, most men just do not have a clue. Most men a clueless when it comes time to pick out gifts for their significant other. Here is a tip to all the men out there; you can never go wrong with jewelry.

Listen up men, women want jewelry. They want silver jewelry, gold jewelry, and diamond jewelry. If you happen to have a lot of money, well, then they want a lot of jewelry and it should be expensive jewelry that is not found at a jewelry store in the mall.

You can still impress them with a cheaper jewelry item, but it must be jewelry.

Here’s another tip for all the men out there shopping for valentines gifts; broaches are a nice piece of jewelry…for your mother. I wouldn’t recommend buying one for your girlfriend or wife. Stick to the rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings or even ankle bracelets. Just make sure the jewelry is shinny and
diamonds never hurt either.

Many men have to idea what to look for when jewelry shopping. If you are one of them, your jewelry ignorance does not give you the right to ask your ex-girlfriends or ex-wife for help in picking out jewelry. Jewelry is always a can’t miss gift…unless it was picked out by your ex!


Valentines Day is a special day for you and your partner. So don’t be afraid to spend a little extra on roses, a candlelight dinner and a fine piece of jewelry. If money is tight you can always find relatively cheap jewelry online or even at Wal-Mart. Yes, you did read that correctly. Wal-Mart has a surprisingly vast selection of jewelry and as long as you don’t tell here you bought it there she will never know.

Jewelry is always the perfect gift for your significant other on Valentines Day. There is not a woman out there who dreads getting another piece of jewelry as a gift. Women love jewelry and lots of jewelry.
