Don't believe everything a Laser Hair Removal technician might tell you! </div><br /><div>Laser Hair Removal was approved for permanent hair reduction in 1997. Key point being REDUCTION! It uses an Intense Pulsed light to remove hair through selective photothermolysis. This means that the light is melanin (pigment) seeking. The light scans the skin and targets areas of darker pigment ( hair) and then selectively heats the dark area to damage the hair follicle. </div><br /><div>Since laser hair removal uses this method to distinguish hair from skin it is very important to find out if you are a desirable candidate for this procedure. A desirable candidate would be someone who is light skinned with darker coarse hair. If there is little variation between hair color and skin color then the laser has a difficult time differentiating between the two and can cause scaring. </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 179px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516176116796576498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCG3Kgez1P2UmRSL4kY6AVzvfj6GbhTrOft6IeMTN-lvalbPZpSO-1Hs1GKDcyYA3etiP9ywZQajLCR6RpWpiZ_82clyRicBfhSUumY6g-b0orMedqaVLRraBmRbPLL4YcMM8Mog0avT8/s200/laser_burns.jpg" /> Laser hair removal is a profit industry. These technicians are not doctors<br /><div>(they my look like it) and unfortunately some will try to deceive you or leave out important facts in order to get more clients. Some of the most common mistakes they make is taking a client with the wrong hair/skin contrast or telling clients that the procedure will rid them of their hair. Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal method! laser hair removal is hair reducing and temporary! </div><br /><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 145px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516180572586950690" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibmWIeU0z4N-VK86_2w30uJK7DfWFHzli4_sm52o6r3v3xkhGK5T7RnqlcC3P0UnhW6vCMRyxLejyCtbl4UMJ4P426eV5dr1lVnjo6N0QxtoWw-IQkB-k7JihjH927teSbG5E6IzZqdEQ/s200/laser-hair-removal.jpg" /><br /><div>For something with such serious consequences it is vital to have all of your facts before going to see a Laser Hair removal Specialist.

Even high end products run into this problem. Eyeshadow that is matte is usually made with a Iron Oxide powder or matte Mica and extra fillers to create more slip to the feel of the powder. Eyeshadow with a satin finish or slight shimmer is usually made with opalescent or sparkling Mica powder and fillers to create more staying power. The ingredients are all ground into very fine powder which mixes everything together and create a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">consistent</span> feel to the whole product. These formulations can be changed to increase the price of the product. For example you will hear people saying that a more expensive product has more pigmentation. This is because they have more of the Iron Oxide or Mica (color) and less cheap space fillers such as talc or rice powder. However even if you have a very pigmented product adding glitter to it can completely undo the properties you are looking for. Glitter doesn't stick to the skin as well as the finely ground pigment and breaks up the product. Try to imagine what it would be like to add sand to a finely ground dirt and the way that it would stick to your skin as apposed to just the dirt itself. You can sometimes get your first clue about how finely an eyeshadow is ground before you even use it on your eyes. When running a brush over a pressed eyeshadow, Does the rest of the shadow that's not on your brush stay pressed or does a lot of loose powder lift off as well? If it does then chances are the mixture isn't as finely ground or pressed. Hope this helps in your hunts at the make-up store. Its nice to know what to look for before you buy.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);">Glossary of Ingredients</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);">These are some natural ingredients found in cosmetics. When they talk about mineral make-up this is what they mean. </span><br /><br />Mica- Natural Mineral that has 3 textures of matte, opalescent, or sparkling.<br /><br />Titanium Dioxide- Depending on amount this can change the color of mica. It coats the Mica and reflects different colors from it. It also has the properties of sun coverage, adhesion, and is an anti inflammatory.<br /><br />Iron Oxide- Very strong pigment. Doesn't bleed easily and can be weather resistant. In a natural state and in large quantities it can contain harmful lead, arsenic, mercury, antimony and selenium. Don't worry the FDA regulates the amount in cosmetics to make it perfectly safe for skin. It is also refined from its natural state when used in make-up.<br /><br />Zing Oxide- Adds Adhesion, Coverage and a sunscreen<br /><br />Magnesium Stearate- Will add slip and lots of Adhesion to your powder. It is also translucent<br /><br />Sericite- Gives a medium amount of adhesion, also adds slip and shine to product<br /><br />Kaolin Clay- Pretty good coverage, translucent, Adds slip and adhesion<br /><br />Talc- Translucent, high amounts of adhesion, silky feel, absorbency<br /><br />Rice Powder- Translucent, absorbency, matte finish, silky feel, can be used in place of talc<br /><br />Silica powder- Translucent, adds slip, used for oily skin because of its absorbing power.<br /><br />Bismuth Oxychloride- Adhesion, translucent, adds sparkle and shine. WARNING- Often found in foundation and many people are allergic to this product it causes breakouts and allergic reactions.Rachel Binghamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17903316389077975791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810323141432705456.post-32530910890319025732009-06-26T22:13:00.000-07:002009-07-23T18:36:19.724-07:00Summer Time= Waterproof!<span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">If you are one of those women that won't let herself be dunked in the pool for fear that you will emerge with runny mascara and a face full of smeared products then worry no more!

There is no reason you can't look fabulous while taking a dip in the water.

Chances are though that any mascara you love will have a waterproof sister in a similar formula. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">Waterproof Pencil </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"> This can actually be used in more ways than you think. Of course there is the most </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">obvious</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"> use which is to line eyes for a more dramatic effect, but try using it for other enhancers like filling in eyebrows and highlighting the brow bone. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"> For eyebrows, use a color close to your natural hair color and fill in eyebrows with light strokes </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">tha</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">t mimic small hairs. Then use a toothbrush (not the one you brush your teeth with) to blend the strokes and make it more natural. Kid's toothbrushes are best for this since they are smaller and more precise. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"> For a highlight, use a white or light pink pencil to draw a line on the brow bone. Then smudge with your finger to blend it into skin.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">Eyeshadow</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"> For a more natural look you may want to skip this but if you still want the drama then try these tips. You can also use your waterproof pencil for this, but make sure its not fully sharpened. Take your pencil and run it over the flame of a lighter. Test it on your hand to make sure its not too hot and then draw on your eyeshadow, starting at the lash line and blending upwards with your finger. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"> You can also use a cream eyeshadow but keep in mind that lighter colors are better. If you rub your eyes while emerging from the pool, then cream eyeshadow can smear. Lighter colors make it less </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">noticeable</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"> when this happens. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">Cheek Stain</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"> Cheeks stain is your best bet for a soft flush. Creams can smear just like with the eyeshadow. Try a stain instead which lasts much longer and won't rub off. Be careful though since stains dry very fast and can take expert timing and application to make sure they are blended in correctly before they set. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">Lips</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"> Here is a secret. Cheek stain and lip stain are often similar if not the same formula. Try your cheek stain on your lips. It may just become your new favorite lipstick color.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">Foundation</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"> I suggest going without foundation. It will come off in the water anyway and if it </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);" class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">doesn't</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"> then your product is way to oily and probably clogging your pores.

Light pastel shimmer colors are best because they are subtle and can be applied from lid to brow bone, so its hard to make a mistake with these.<br /> You also don't have to spend a fortune since you aren't looking for anything too pigmented. Try brands like NYC, Wet n Wild, Bonne Bell, Jane, E.L.F, Almay and covergirl.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.thestyleandbeautydoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/47fe_1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 155px; height: 169px;" src="http://www.thestyleandbeautydoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/47fe_1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);font-size:130%;" >Mascara</span><br /> Make sure that when you buy your pre-teen mascara its waterproof and hypoallergenic.

Be sure to use sun block to protect skin from harmful rays, Sun exposure will increase your chance of wrinkles, rough dry skin, sun spots, sun poisioning, burning, and even skin cancer. If you <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://gallicwars.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/donatella-versace-bikini.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 163px;" src="http://gallicwars.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/donatella-versace-bikini.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>want a healthy glow then use BRONZER! I just had to include this picture.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />2.<span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 153);"> Overly Plucked Eyebrows</span><br />*sigh*. We have all seen it. You know what it looks like and unfortinately its hard to convince them that the "always surprised" or " I stood too close to the fire" look Isn't very sexy. Over plucking of eyebrows was usually intentional by the plucker. Try to know better.<br /><br />3. <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Dark Liner with Light Lipstick</span><br />Very porn star and not very natural or attractive. I don't even know how this look got started.<br /><br />4. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Female </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Mustache</span><br />O.K I know that you are born with those genes and will always have them, but please wax, bleach, pluck, whatever! cause its not very pretty and yes we can all see it!<br />yeah um no picture for this one. The close ups are weird.<br /><br />5. <span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">Black drawn on eyebrows</span><br />I know that when you get older your eyebrows lighten and thin out but this doesn't help them look any more natural. Try using a dry eyeshadow in a more natural color close to your hair tone.<br /><br />6. <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">Yellow teeth</span><br />Many things can stain teeth. Be sure to pick up some crest white strips or even use a teeth whitening tooth paste and mouth wash. There are millions of products available to fix this problem.<br /><br />7. <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"> Spider Eyes</span><br />aahhh! Lashes shouldn't look like your eyeballs have sprouted hairy spider legs. This look is often the result of too many coats of old clumpy mascara. To avoid this, throw out your mascara when it starts to get thick and sticky. Apply just a few coats and use an eyelash brush to separate lashes while they are still slightly wet. Also to increase the life of your mascara don't pump your mascara want in the tube. This will add air into the tube and dry out the product.<br /><br />8. <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">The foundation Line</span><br />This is the clear visible line you see at your jawline where your foundation ends. To avoid this look be sure to use a foundation that matches the skin on your neck. Blend Blend Blend Blend! I can't say it enough. Just Blend.<br /><br />9. <span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">Too much foundation</span><br />I know that bad skin can be a hastle and the first reaction is to just pack on the foundation in hopes of covering it up. Cakey foundation will sit in fine lines and give skin a fake texture. Try to use foundation sparingly and fix problems individually with concealer. (please note: maybe your skin is bad because you pack on heavy foundation and the skin can't breath)<br /><br />10. <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Too much blush</span><br />Blush is used to create a natural youthful flush to the skin. Too much blush makes you look like you just went through hours of strenuous activity... or like a hooker. Both are bad.Rachel Binghamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17903316389077975791noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810323141432705456.post-8476255290629726832009-06-23T17:17:00.000-07:002009-06-23T18:19:42.486-07:00Make-Up I can't live withoutI will probably do more of these blogs but here are just a couple to start with.

If your mascara makes your eyelashes clumpy, try separating them with a metal eyelash comb. ( plastic ones cant get in between your lashes)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://www.makeup4you.com.au/images/products/thumb/22776_MONDA%20EYELASH%20COMB.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 150px;" src="https://www.makeup4you.com.au/images/products/thumb/22776_MONDA%20EYELASH%20COMB.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);font-size:180%;" ><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Cat Eyes</span><br />For a more cat eye effect hold the wand at a slight angle and brush lashes outwards and up towards the temples. Then add extra mascara to the lashes on the outer corners or apply a few individual false lashes.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" >Extra Oomph</span><br />If you have sparse eyelashes or just want to add more drama, there are two things you can try depending on how sparse they are.<br /><br />For a little extra oomph. Try using an eyelash primer that thickens lashes and use before and in between coats. There are many brands out there that carry this. You have to experiment with these just like mascaras to find the one that works best on your lashes.<br /><br />For very sparse lashes. Try using individual eyelashes and place them along the lash line. I will also do a blog on how to apply these but practice really makes perfect.<br /><br />Remember that changing the angle of your mascara wand can change the look of your lashes.<br /><br />Good luck!Rachel Binghamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17903316389077975791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810323141432705456.post-89773683532153322892009-06-23T13:01:00.000-07:002009-06-23T13:33:46.342-07:00Quick Tip For White EyelinerThis is a quick tip I just experimented with and picked up. It makes the whites of eyes look whiter. I like to use this when doing black eyeshadow all over the lid, since that look can kind of close in eyes and make them look smaller. It may take a bit of practice, but just apply carefully.<br /><br />You are going to need a<br />white waterproof eye pencil for this look. I really like to use pencils that you can sharpen instead of twist ups, since its easier to keep them sanitary.<br />A bottle of 91% to 99% alcohol ( Try CVS)<br />A pencil sharpener<br /><br />First make sure you spray your pencil and pencil sharpener with the Alcohol.<br />Next sharpen your pencil and wait a little while for the alcohol to completely evaporate ( about 20 seconds)<br />Then rub the tip of your pencil on a tissue to dull the tip ( this is for safety since you will be very close to the eyeball)<br /><br />Now gently use your finger to pull down on your lower lid exposing the waterline( the inner rim of your lower eye above the lashes)<br />Now to accomplish the look use the white pencil to line the waterline on both eyes.<br /><br />This will really add light to your eyes and brighten them right up!<br /><br />For and extra effect try using the white pencil to highlight around the tear ducts. This is really great if you have close set eyes since it can make them look wider.Rachel Binghamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17903316389077975791noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810323141432705456.post-22506382188596460902009-05-01T13:07:00.000-07:002009-05-01T13:27:25.293-07:00Look But DON’T TOUCH<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">Look but, </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">DON'T TOUCH</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Things that look sexy but aren't very inviting for intimate situations.</span><br />Part 1<br /></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.craveonline.com/article_imgs/Image/pink-sexy-lips.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 183px; height: 127px;" src="http://images.craveonline.com/article_imgs/Image/pink-sexy-lips.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"> GOOEY GOOPY LIP GLOSS</span><br /></div>First lets talk about Lip Gloss. Oh those sexy shiny goddess lips that perk pout and shine our mouths, begging to be kissed. I’m not knocking the lip-gloss and am a big fan of it myself, but I think just like anything it has a time and a place. This stuff is perfect for a night out on the town with your girlfriends or a social event. Just leave it at home if you are in a situation that might call for a goodnight kiss or smooching with you hubby/ boyfriend. Men want to remember a kiss as being sensual and soft. Not goopy and sticky. If after kissing your guy is wearing just as much pucker pigment as you then its time to opt for a more kiss friendly alternative. I suggest buffing and moisturizing you lips at home before hand. Simply slather on your favorite lip moisturizer let it set, then take a toothbrush and softly exfoliate lips. This will give you a soft and smooth mouth. If you would like to add a little color then use a tint or stain and top with a sheer chap stick. Of course if you are one of those women who has the oral fixation of constantly applying lipstick, gloss in the bathroom (or even at the dinner table, you know who you are) Then carry a flavored chap stick with you. These are also available with a slight tint for added sexiness. *Bonne Bell offers many of these and they come in assorted flavors including as orange soda, cherry coke or even dr. pepper. This will be much nicer for pucker time since your partner will be able to enjoy a tasty treat instead of a mouth full of goo.<br /><br />*Bonne Bell flavored Chap Stick<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=1279909"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 198px; height: 198px;" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=1279909" alt="" border="0" /></a>Rachel Binghamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17903316389077975791noreply@blogger.com0
