This week’s tip has to do with perfect under eye concealing!

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

It’s not just about finding the perfect product (I recommend the Instant Age Rewind by Maybelline), it is also a lot about technique.

This week’s tip:

Cancel out any creases in your under eye concealer before setting the area with powder.

After applying the concealer to your under eye area, take a minute to go back again and smooth out the concealer one more time before powdering.  You can use your finger, a brush, or a damp beauty sponge.  This seems like such a simple tip, but it will make a big difference in the look of the under eye area.  Keep in mind that powder will seal everything in, so smooth out your concealer before setting it.

Tip Tuesday: Make up tips and tricks every Tuesday | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Want your lashes to grow without expensive serums?

I have mentioned before that I have super straight sad lashes that do not stay curled when I apply regular mascara.  Due to this fact, whenever I wear mascara, I use waterproof mascara. You may have heard that wearing waterproof mascara is bad for your lashes and that it will make them dry and brittle.

Whenever I wear waterproof mascara, I remove it with coconut oil (this was tip #35).  After a little while of doing this, I noticed that instead of the waterproof mascara making my lashes becoming dry and brittle, my lashes were actually growing and becoming stronger from the coconut oil.

As you have probably guessed, this week’s tip is to apply coconut oil to your lashes to help strengthen and lengthen them.

Added bonus, I also use the coconut oil as an under eye serum and I think that it makes a big difference.

Keep in mind that a little bit goes a long way and if you use too much coconut oil you will get it into your eye and end up with blurred vision, not fun!

To quickly clear up a breakout, apply a mix of tea tree oil, lavender oil, and coconut oil.  The pimple will be much smaller by the next day.  I  am always amazed at how quickly this combination clears up my breakouts!

Want your lips to look fuller?

To make your lips look fuller, apply a shimmery gloss to the center of both the top and bottom lip.  The shimmer will attract light to your lips, making them look bigger and fuller.

Today’s tip is about blush application.

When applying your blush always allow about two fingers from your nose to where your blush application starts.  This will help balance the face, as well as apply blush to the areas of your face that would naturally flush.

Do you hate wasting money on spoiled produce?  I definitely do!  Here are a few tips to keeping your produce fresher longer.

wp-1459775479025.jpg

Keep your squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions and garlic fresher longer by storing them in a cool dry place.  Separate them into squash, and potatoes in one bowl or basket and the onions and garlic together. Store them in a dark cupboard or closet.

Want to keep your potatoes from looking back at you?  Store them with an apple.  An apple will prevent the potatoes from sprouting eyes.

Wash fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries in one part vinegar and three parts water to make them last longer.

Want to keep your bananas fresher longer?  Wrap the tip in saran wrap, preventing the release of ethylene.  The stem of the banana releases a lot of ethylene, so store bananas away from other fruits to keep the other fruits fresher longer.

Let me know if you try it and if it works for you!

Tip Tuesday: Exfoliate Your Skin

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

Tip Tuesday Make up tips and tricks every Tuesday | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Exfoliate your skin, yup that is the tip!

Exfoliating scrubs leave the skin looking brighter and smoother.  They do this by removing dead skin cells from the epidermal layer of the skin. When the dead cells are gone there is more room for living skin cells to move up from the lower level called the dermis.

That being said, exfoliate sparingly. I recommend 2- 3 times a week.  Over exfoliating can harm dry or sensitive skin. Even oily skin shouldn’t be exfoliated more than a few times a week. Reason being, over exfoliation may cause too many living skin cells be removed in the process.

A few of my favorite weekly exfoliators are:  dr.brandt PoreDermbrasion and  Vasanti Brighten Up!

These two are both similar to each other with finely milled sand-like granules.  When I first used the Vasanti Brighten Up, I absolutely hated it, then fellow blogger Stashy from stashmatters.com told me to try using it as more of a mask letting the product do its thing for a little bit and then rubbing it in.  I took it one step further and use it in the shower, letting the extra water help make it a bit more comfortable.

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

Focus on one feature at a time. When wearing a loud shade of lipstick keep the eye makeup more subtle or if you want to go crazy with your eye makeup try a nude or subtle toned lipstick shade.

Invest in good quality brushes.

Good brushes will last for years and provide better makeup application and blending. The fluffy brushes are for blending while generally the flat brushes are for applying products like foundation, cream products, and packing on eyeshadow.

One of my most used and favorite brushes is my Crown Brush C412 Deluxe Pointed Crease Brush and the INSPR Beauty Eye Fluff Brush which is perfect for blending.

While some good quality brushes are more expensive, some of my favorite brushes are inexpensive $1 brushes from E.L.F. like this defining eye brush.

I feel as if  E.L.F. brushes don’t get enough praise and attention.  They have some great quality brushes available. I prefer the $3-$6 USD black handled brushes to the less expensive (yet still effective) white handled brushes, yet all the price points have great options avaliable.

They have also recently come out with a newer more expensive silver handled line.  This 7 piece silver handle set is only $10, and has everything you might need to complete a great face look.
