When the word summer is mentioned, one would most probably think of sun, sand, beaches, coconut trees swaying with the summer breeze and great bodies in beautiful summer wear. One would also think about summer getaways in tropical countries, dining in exotic restaurants and enjoying native food. And in line with all these, summertime also means fashion - summer bags, accessories, beautiful summer wear, great summer make-up and being part of the summer hair trend. And to top it all, it is also about a perfect and glowing tan!
Beauty experts and hair gurus have had their powers and expertise combined for you to have that ultimate summer fashion look. Adam Reed of Percy and Reed salon shares some ideas on how to style your hair the summer way. According to him, braids and buns which can be done in a classic or asymmetric way which is an instant beach style. Aside from the hair style, Percy & Reed also shares tips on how to care for your hair during exposure to the sun. Prime Plenish from Shu Uemura are just some of the products mentioned that can help revitalize dry hair. Chamomile tea bags, steeped and soaked through the hair can be used to refresh highlights and tomato ketchup is a big aid in neutralizing chlorine.
For you to have that perfect tan, Joanne King of Urban Retreats shares her beauty expertise. The first step according to her is remove body hair 24 hours before treatment. Next is to exfoliate using grainy scrub (devote more scrubbing time to elbows and heels) and then, moisturize your skin with hydrating cream. The technique with this treatment is to keep your underarm area moisturized so as to avoid the "fake" look of your tan.
Now that you know how to style your hair and have that tan, next step in being beautiful while staying under the sun is to complete your summer look. Make-up artist Bobby Brown tells that his beach bag has baseball cap, bottled water, iPod (with all his favorite songs), a great book and SPF15 lip balm. Vanessa Seward of Azzaro shares her beauty essentials and it has sun screen protection, vintage sunglasses, a book by Francis Dorleans, a large brim sun hat and a strapless bikini.
Experts may have a say on what to bring and how to look, but it all depends on you. Pack things that you enjoy and wear swimwear that best flatters your body. But always remember, bring face lotion for face, and always hydrate your skin. Facial lotion is essential so you stay beautiful and glowing even under the heat of the sun.

Does anyone know where i can get shu uemura eyelash curlers?
Can't find them in Dublin and can't seem to find anywhere online that delivers to Ireland! Anyone know where or how I can get them??
Harvey Nichols sells them in London in their store. They have an online beauty shop that does ship to Eire in principle but doesn't seem to stock the curlers online. Their customer service is great so I'd give them a ring and see if they can help you out.
http://www.harveynichols.com/output/Page1.asp
Selfridges also stocks them so its worth a try. Give them a ring and see if they can help you out.
Or do you know anyone visiting London who could pick some up for you.
Failing that the space nk eyelash curlers are v. similar with a black rubber cushioned pad.

Sheer cover mineral foundation is just one example of a product available in a range that has become hugely popular and is great make up for black women. I am sure you have seen one of the many infomercials that is presented by Leeza Gibbons. She talks about the products with lots of people including regular everyday folk and lots of famous people like the singer Leanne Rimes.
The infomercials provide the viewer with many demonstrations of the product on different types of people with differing skin types and problem areas.
Sheer Cover is a mineral based product that gives a lovely matt finish once it is applied.
The main benefit is that you can get the same effect as you would if you used a liquid foundation except you will find that there is less mess and if applied correctly, the foundation will not appear to look caked on.
Mineral foundation makeup is quick and easy to apply. When you purchase the product you receive an application brush and really good instructions on how to mix and blend the powder so that it is right for your skin tone.
This product has taken into consideration all the different skin types and skin tones that there are so if you have pale ivory skin, you will find something to suit you and if you have a dark African American complexion, there is a foundation blend just right for you.
Everyone is interested in using products that are made from natural ingredients and this foundation fits the bill perfectly. It is definitely one of the best organic cosmetic products that is currently available.
If you are looking for mineral foundation for black skin, take a look online if you can find a mineral makeup that will compliment your complexion as well as your budget.
I've been using sheer cover and i just want to know how much other people like it?
I'd give it a 9. Only because it goes on really thin and i don't feel heavy but the only downside it when i'm hot and sweaty the mineral can patch up together and form like thick clusters of makeup.

Diamonds can become smudged and dirty throughout every wear even if you are careful about what you do when you wear your jewel. The natural oil in skin, soaps, lotions and other materials can cause a film to develop on a diamond. As a film develops, the jewelry will not sparkle naturally and will become a bit dull. Diamonds even collect dust when you're not wearing them, so the time comes at one point or other that you will need to clean your jewel. Also, the jewelry setting will need to be cleaned periodically since lint, dirt and other substances can become trapped in and around the stone.
In order to keep the shine and natural brilliance that is associated with a beautifully cut diamond, you will need to clean it once or twice a year at least. Many people resort to taking their jewelry to a store where they can leave their piece for a professional cleaning. Some settings may require this depending on what type of metal and what type of dullness has occurred. For example, if your stone is set in silver, it may be best to have a professional clean it with a special silver cleaner that will provide a deep clean of the metal as well as the setting area.
But for many people, it isn't necessary to resort to professional services to have jewelry cleaned. One method is using a soft brush with mild soap and water to clean your piece. Gently brush the diamond and setting so as to loosen any foreign material. Be careful not to scrub vigorously because you don't want to accidentally loosen a setting. After cleaning, rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth or you can purchase a jewelry cloth to carefully dry the stone.
Another method of cleaning is to soak your diamond in a solution of half ammonia and half water for 30 minutes. After soaking, gently brush the setting with a soft brush. Dry carefully with a soft cloth. If you don't want to mix your own solutions, there are jewelry cleaning kits found at many department and jewelry stores that will provide you with maximum and safe cleaning ability. All the materials you need to clean your jewelry is included in the kit.
Then of course, there is one easy way to clean diamonds and settings that is used by jewelry professionals which may seen too easy but it really works well. Buy some Windex and simply spray on your ring or other jewelry. Use a soft, jewelry cloth to dry the setting and diamond. This is actually one method that professionals use to clean diamond jewelry depending on how dirty the settings actually are.
One caution is to carefully clean your diamond settings, making sure that no prongs or fittings are loose. It is wise to have a jeweler check your expensive pieces periodically, even if you clean your own jewelry at home, in order to protect your diamond investment.

Wallpapers taken from the archives are historic but far from old-fashioned. Follow our tips to make a traditional archive-print wallpaper work beautifully in your home.
You don't have to live in an old house for these wallpapers to work, but, for best effect, choose a design that suits the scale of your home. For example, the small florals typical of the 1930s can look lost in a high-ceilinged room, while heavily patterned Victorian prints can overwhelm a small or low-ceilinged space.
To make a beautiful wallcovering the focus of the room, pick out key colours from the design and repeat them in plain fabrics and painted woodwork.
To mix in other prints without outshining the wallpaper, stick to a limited colour palette. Alternatively, choose another print from the same collection - they're grouped to co-ordinate, so the hard work's been done for you.
If you like an eclectic look, you can team an archive wallpaper with modern furniture, but echo the design - for example, a pattern with gentle curves will look better with furniture in curved shapes.
If you want to find a paint that matches the tones used in an archive wallpaper, look at heritage and period paint collections
Geometrics
Love geometric wallpaper? Use it to create a fabulous look with these simple rules.
Large-scale graphic prints work particularly well in a contemporary scheme or a post-1960s home, while smaller, more subtle patterns are a good choice if you have more traditional furnishings or live in a period house.
Take into account scale when you are decorating. A big print used on all the walls in a small room or one with low ceilings is too much, so use it sparingly or consider using a smaller scale or simpler graphic design.
Geometrics have come a long way since they were first popular in the 1960s and 1970s. To recreate that look, go for wallpapers in browns, oranges and greens. For a less retro scheme, choose colours that are fashionable now, such as chocolate with pink.
Avoid having furniture and furnishings that fight with the print. You don't have to restrict yourself to ultra-modern styles, but sticking to pieces in one kind of wood or one plain colour - such as white or black - will help avoid an over-cluttered look.
Tape a large sample of the geometric paper you like to the wall and leave it for a few days to make sure you can live with it.
Orientals
Follow these steps to make this pretty floral-trail paper work perfectly in any room.
Oriental print wallpapers have traditionally been used in bedrooms and are considered quite feminine, but they won't be overpoweringly so if you choose designs that are in more masculine colours. Look out for wallpaper in darker blues, red, black and neutrals.
If you're using an oriental wallpaper in a bedroom, you can put it on all four walls. If, however, you're decorating downstairs, take a more restrained approach and limit it to a feature wall or at most two walls.
The busier, more intricate wallpapers featuring birds, figures and lots of foliage tend to look at their best in rooms that aren't crammed full of accessories.
You don't have to go all out for an oriental theme and team an opulent print wallpaper with Eastern-inspired furniture and furnishings. However, a few accessories with an oriental feel - such as a ginger jar lamp base, a bone mirror or a dark-wood bowl - can help tie the room scheme together.
A blossom print looks as good teamed with French-style furniture as Eastern pieces - picking out a colour from the wallpaper creates a sense of harmony.
Bold Florals
Worried about how to make big, blowsy floral prints work in your room? Simply follow these steps to get it right.
The latest oversized prints can look fabulous in both small and large rooms. The secret is to stick to a subtle design or one in soft colours if your room is compact, as this will stop the wallpaper from being overpowering.
As an update on traditional flowered wallpapers, bold florals are not only for country cottages. They're certainly not shy and retiring, but they are surprisingly versatile. It's how you use them in a scheme that sets the tone - for example, for a contemporary look, team them with furniture in simple modern shapes.
Balance a strong floral print with lots of plain surfaces. Having large pieces of furniture - such as a sofa or cabinet - in one of the colours from your wallpaper will help create a more balanced room.
Try wallpapering unexpected areas, such as the inside of your under-stair cupboard for a big pattern hit every time you open the door, or behind open shelving for a hint of print behind books and ornaments.
This design gives traditional blooms a contemporary twist and works well teamed with modern furniture with a white or cream painted finish.
Metallics
Whether you use it in the bedroom, living room or even the dining room, this is how to make metallic prints work.
Designs with a pale background and a subtly metallic motif can be used to great effect to make a small room seem larger and brighter, as the reflective surface throws light back into the room.
Wallpapers printed on foil backing tend to be a little more expensive than other metallic designs. However, they look fabulous and the investment is worth it - especially in rooms that don't get much natural daylight - for the extra reflectiveness of the finish.
Large prints and designs with a dark background create a more opulent look. They are ideal for adding interest to larger rooms but are best used sparingly in small rooms - for example, around a fireplace.
Match the glamour of metallic wallpaper with fabulous furniture and accessories. Look out for mirrored, stainless-steel and bronze furniture, and bejewelled cushions and throws. Silks, satins and velvets are great choices for upholstery.
A well-placed table lamp, downlighter or uplighter in the corner of a room will make metallic-print wallpaper sparkle as it reflects the light.

Your bathroom vanity cabinet can be one of the nicest additions to your bathroom. Whether it is to be used primarily by only one person or by a number of people, your choice in style and set-up can be a lovely enhancement to one of the most frequently used rooms in your home.
One of the most essential features on a vanity cabinet for the lady in your home is the lighted make-up mirror. Although some vanity cabinets do not contain this feature, it is ideal for women and teenaged girls. A lighted make-up mirror is designed with a variety of optional lights, so that cosmetics can be applied in the lighting which best resembles the lighting in which the person will be wearing them.
Lighting Up
A lighted vanity mirror is not only for women, however; it is also quite useful for men when shaving. These mirrors provide much better lighting for this process than the plain overhead lighting that is already in most bathrooms. All you need to do is switch the lighting to the form which is best for your specific needs.
While vanity cabinets look very nice when they display perfume bottles and other such items, you can give your bathroom a much more pleasant appearance by choosing a bathroom vanity cabinet which has enough drawer space for the women's cosmetic collections and the men's shaving supplies. If the cabinet you choose also has small shelving, this will also help keep your bathroom better organized with cans of shaving cream, hair spray, and other larger items which do not fit as neatly in the drawers.
Selection Of Material
You can select a vanity cabinet in a nice wood tone that will highlight your bathroom; or, if you prefer, you can find one in wicker or metal materials. Whichever style best suits your own personal tastes, you can keep your cabinet neat and clean by lining the drawers and shelves with colorful shelf-lining paper.
In addition to enhancing the appearance of your cabinet, this will also help to preserve its quality, as it will keep spills and other residue from ruining your cabinet. Shelf-lining paper, which can also be found in moisture-resistant material, is available in an almost limitless variety of designs and colors, so you will be able to easily find the exact style which suits your individual preferences.
Wall Mount
You also have the choice between a wall-mounted vanity cabinet and the larger style which often includes a small stool or other seating designed to make applying cosmetics and other grooming easier and more comfortable. Depending on both the size of your room and the needs of those who will be using it, you can select whichever style is most appropriate for you.
Even if you have a very small bathroom, it is not necessary to do without this all-important furnishing, as you can find a size that is suitable. As you can see, there are a number of practical uses for bathroom vanity cabinets; the one you choose can be both practical and tasteful in appearance at the same time.

Know of any good makeup communities online?
I am obsessed with makeup. OBSESSED- I love it, my favorite part of each morning is deciding what I'm going to look like for the rest of the day. But outside of fan blogs and a few "youtubers", it's hard to find real communities that encourage open discussion. It's one thing to read tips and watch tutorials, but it's another thing entirely to be able to discuss in forums or what-have-you the ins and outs of application, new products, and everything else.

The best alternative to liquid foundation is mineral makeup. One feature which makes this kind of makeup different from liquid foundation is that the mineral makeup is in powder form. One can use a brush and a sponge to apply this makeup.
At first, this makeup might seem messy. But as you learn to use it well, the messy part goes away and it becomes very easy to use. It is applied in a way where the brush is loaded with it and then a shake is given to throw of the extra particles, and then apply it in a buffing manner. Coverage depends upon how you apply it and by its formulation. Usage can be less or built up for heavy use. Little content can cover a big surface area as it is not a liquid. The liquid form is easy to soak in the skin, so it is used more often. Apply with a dry brush or use a damp brush (it depends on the way you want to look).
When applying on the areas with wrinkles, one should be careful as minerals might lighten up that area and make it more visible enough. If you have dry spots on the skin, then moisturize it before applying because it might emphasize the dry area.
Before trying this type makeup, read the labels and go through the instructions as several skins of women are irritated by certain minerals. People should avoid mica if they have an oily skin as this might add a shimmery shine to the skin.
This makeup lasts for a longer period of time. It is water proof and does not wear off at times of perspiration. Other than mineral foundations, products like eye shadow, finishing powders and mineral blushes are also available. People would like to try all these products but a word of advice to be noted is that, "mineral foundation is better than mineral blushes and one should consider wearing them". Different shades may be blended and mixed with these products to get a perfect color match.
People might find that this product are expensive than liquids other than the fact that they are using high-end liquids. They have a longer life than liquids and they do not destroy like liquids.
With all these advantages of using this kind of foundation, people prefer it over liquids. And once a user starts using this, he or she might not go back to using liquid forms again that might destroy their skin.

prom makeup?
i have a tope dress, its by nicole miller on nordstrom.com in the wedding section. its strapless, its ab. gorgeous but how to do my makeup? i was thinking about playing up my eyes, not with the evil, lots of eyeliner, look but just really think eyelashes( fake ones perhaps?) and then minimal blush and gloss? let me know what color eyeshadow i should wear! i have liek.. regular, golden skin almost, not really sure, my cover up color is usually buff but ill be going tanning, so remember, its a tope dress, ive got white gold earrings too, idk if that plays into it, okay enough talking! help!
Your dress sounds lovely and tasteful so why not keep your makeup the same. Less is classier. I'd concentrate on your complexion and use a soft looking foundation if you even need one. Then a little blush to add feminine innocence and a complementary lipstick or gloss. For eyeshadow I'd definitely stay with the neutrals, using whatever will make your eye color stand out the most. Add a little mascara avoiding the harsh blacks. And here's a little trick... Use a touch of white on the inside corners of your eyes to give you an instant brightness. I'd definitely skip the false eyelashes.
Have the time of your life and make wise decisions! It's a night you'll remember for the rest of your life.

Any eyeshadow recommendations for Hazel/Green eyes with Honey skin?
In MAC I'm NC42 in Concealer and Pro-Longwear Foundation colours.
Thanks!
First of all, no eyeliner for hazel eyes. I have hazel eyes, and i learned from Clinique's beauty experts that hazel eyes have a warm color and eyeliner gives them a cold feel, plus people look like they're beady rats with all that eyeliner on! You want big, bright eyes... not beady squinty ones :/. And for eyeshadow try Almay's eye color intensifying eyeshadow in hazel. It works great .
Anyways, this is my makeup on good days:
Eyelash curler then nothing but The Falsies mascara.
Normal Days:
Dream mousse on my eyes, chin, and t-zone.
Blush dream mousse on the apples of my cheeks.
Lip tint in just a bit lighter than my normal shade.
Curler, then the Falsies mascara.
It's very fresh and lively. I love it. Plus it pops my honey tan too

The eyebrows are a very prominent facial feature and it is important to make sure that they are complimenting rather than retracting beauty from the rest of the face. There is no set shape that the eyebrow should be, each person has a different face with unique features, the shape and size of these features will determine the thickness and form of the eyebrows.
Following Your Features
The main shape of the eyebrow should correspond with the shape of the face, for example, a round face shape will require more rounded arches and softer edges on brow, whereas a square face will be more suitable for thicker and more angular brows. If you have a high forehead then you will want to have lower arches which are positioned further away from the nose as this will widen the face and take emphasis away from the forehead. If you want to create the allusion of a higher forehead then having higher arches in the center of the eyebrow will help to achieve this balance.
High Cheek Bones
High cheek bones can be highlighted with more angular and sharp eyebrows, the further the arch is placed away from the nose, the more emphasis will be placed on the cheek bones. This can add definition and length to the face creating a sleek, lined appearance. Many people are unsure of where the eyebrow should end, if you imagine a ruler drawing a line from the nose to the outside corner of eye, this is where the tail end of the brow should ideally end up.
Correct Brow Length
Bringing the tail end of the brow too low towards the cheek will create an image of small closed in eyes and will draw focus away from the cheek bones, as well as making you look lot older and more drawn, it is best to avoid this and keep the tail higher on the face. Once you have settle on the best shape of the eyebrow to accentuate your features, you will want to decide on how think or thin they need to be to bring out the best in your face. The basic rule of thumb regarding is thickness is to match your features.
Compliment Your Lips
If you have full lips and larger features then thicker eyebrows will be the most appropriate option, whereas if you thin lips and a petite nose, a thinner more delicate eyebrow will be the most complimentary. These simple rules will help to create a more balanced and relaxed look which can help to provide more beauty, self esteem and youth in everyone. The eyebrows help to frame the face and accentuate the features, simply creating the right shape can help to dramatically improve and bring out the best in the rest of the face.
