Fave Beauty Tip and Fave Product Chinese Whisper Game!

Recommended Posts

Hi dear members, I thought it would be interesting to devise a little game. I apologise if something similar has been done before but it's just a little fun. (Will double up as light relief from revision for me too!) ;)

 

Ok, what you have to do is leave a little beauty tip and recommend one favourite beauty product that has worked wonders for you!

 

Mine are as follows:

 

TIP- If you find that your mascara is hard and flaky but shouldn't be as it's still new, then run it under a hot tap for about 30 seconds and voila , as good as new!

 

PRODUCT- The one product I swear by and could not live without is High Beam by Benefit. I have good skin so don't use foundation, but using a tiny amount of this highlights my cheekbones and gives my complexion a gorgeous sheen! Quite pricey (£15) but lasts for ages!

 

Looking forward to reading your tips girls so come on, get them in! (Brothers, if you have any, feel free to join in!) :D

^^Hey girl.

 

Tip

If like me you suffer from sun burn during the summer, crush a few strawberries and leave the the mask on your face for a few minutes- do fight the temptation to lick it off :D .

 

The result is simply delish, not only does it cool your skin it also leaves a nice little glow ;)

 

Product

I never go anywhere without my trusted little Vaseline. Perfect for dry libs, dry hands and clearing off unwanted makeup. Only 99p at a store near you.

 

 

Goodness, this is FUN!

Tip1: if u want to do wonders for your skin, head for the kitchen where you'll find water from the tap.

 

Tip 2: put together oats, honey and yoghurt to form a face mask. Keep the consistency sludge-like then slap it on(in a manner of speaking). When it drys, rub it into yr face gently- exfoliation- and then rinse away. Works wonders. U'll smell like muesli but it's worth it. :D

 

Product: I second Ameenah on this one: Vaseline. Which ever handbag I take(if not, coat pocket) I take my handy-sized vaseline. Keeps lips in good nick as the skin on lips does not produce oil. Vaseline can also be used with makeup- on the lids, cheeks and lips but not all at once or u'll reflect and hurt the beholder's eyes.

 

..and that was post No 500. Hoooogeeeey. :eek:

^^ Look at the sister before u :D

 

Ameenah: How did u manage to write so much sis.. I signed up for this forum way b4 u did yet... am not even upto 1000? Damnnnnnnn Gurl!

 

Tip If u suffer from dry skin like I do Applying honey on ur face would make your skin look healthier and feel soft. Don't forget to let leave it on for like 30 mins...

 

Tip 2 If u r at a party and you sweat, u can freshen up by patting your face with a tissue or a napkin but make sure u don't use the same napkin u wipe ur mouth with.. it conflicts the ettiquette of table ;)

 

Product moisturizer/ hyderating gel from Clinique. It does wonders for your face. Its a bit expensive $50 but its worth it.

Ameenah,Sheherazade and Hibo, thanks for joining in! Your mask recipes are really making me hungry! I agree with vaseline too, I love the aloe vera green tub, smells really yummy as well as having lots of uses!

 

I have another tip! If you suffer from dry damaged hair in the summer and get horrid split ends, try this...

 

Blend together 1-2 bananas (depending on the length of your hair) mix in a tablespoon of honey and another of olive oil. Wash your hair once with water only and slather on this gunk as a miracle hair mask. Leave on for 15-20 minutes and then shampoo/condition and rinse. The nourishing natural oils should smooth the cuticles leaving a gorgeous healthy shine!! smile.gif

No girl should be without two essentials:

 

1. Eyeliner (preferably kohl).

2. Vaseline (or Blistix-i prefer).

 

More than this is not necessary really.

 

As for face masks, qasil, cusbur, huruud (the usual somali mixes) are probably the best.
