Tiny Tip of the Day :)

Before you ever put in your earrings you should ask yourself... When have i last worn them? If you haven't worn them in a while, you should always clean them with rubbing alcohol, just to make sure there aren't any germs that will cause infection,

Natureluxe Lip Balm from Covergirl!!

In one word if we had to describe this product, it would be “wow!”. Not only does it leave your lips with a nice tint to them, it also replenishes moisture, and has SPF 15 to protect your lips from the sun’s harsh rays. The best part about this gloss balm is that it ‘s ALL natural!! How amazing is that? You not only get the benefit of having soft luscious lips, but you are also helping the environment. These balms run anywhere from 3-5$. Although it is a tad on the expensive side for a lip balm, you will not regret it.

Fruits And Passion

No wonder it's called Fruits And Passion, they are sure passionate about their products! We have tried this lip balm (Avocado) and it is amazing! Avocado is a natural moisturizer and after one application, your lips feel very moisturized. This lip balm doesn't smell like baby powder, it smells just like lemonade....yum! Although this lip balm is expensive, about 5$, it is definitely money well spent. We are very happy with the results! It's 100% natural origin , and it has a plant wax base, so it's definitely less chemical than the lip balms you would usually find at a pharmacy. There is also another flavors like Manoi and Argon. You can buy this lip balm at the Fruits And Passion store.

Tiny Tip of the Day :)

A great natural way to help get rid of pimples is a clay mask. Clay is great because it dries them out and is easy to take off. Clay makes the pimple surface more, so it goes away faster. No one wants pimples and this is a quick and easy way to help get rid of them. There are a variety of clay masks out there, but your best bet is to go with the natural cay you can buy at pharmacies.

Nivea Fruity Shine

For 2.99$ this lip balm is great! It not only moisturizes your lips, but it adds a cute little red color and shine. Makes your lips feel smooth and healthy! The only downside is that you have to re apply it every once and a while. But the lip balm is the perfect purse size, so you can bring it anywhere you like! This lip balm that gives you color comes in 3 different flavours: cherry, strawberry and pearly shine!
Enjoy,

Clearasil

We have very sensitive skin, that gets dry and oily every day! We've tried almost every cleaner out there, but the only one that has worked, is the Clearasil 3 in 1 cleanser. This cleanser is gentle on sensitive skin and comes in a pump. The product is creamy and goes on and off very well. It smells nice and keeps your skin very hydrated...it doesn't dry out your skin at all! It costs around 8-9$ which is affordable because it works!!! It takes all your oils off without over-drying and keeps many zits at bay... ML has been sing this product for 2 years and hadn't been disappointed, EVER! It works like magic! But I won't guarantee it of course, because everyone's skin is different and reacts differently to products, but our skin is really sensitive and it works for us.This is a must have in your daily skin care routine!

Got Gunk...Take it Out!!

Clogged pores are a nuisance, so why deal with them? When we heard about the Biore Pore Strips, we had to try them! And they work really well, of course if used possible. First you have to clean the area you want to unclog. They make the strips for your nose, forehead and neck. After cleaning the part of your face, you have to wet your face with cool water and take the strip and apply it to your face.bMake sure the little band is stuck to your face and wet. You have to let it dry until the strip is as hard as rock. Then you have to pull at both sides of the strip slowly and then you'll see most of your blackheads on the strip. These strips don't take all of your blackheads out, but they definitely take most of them out. When pulling off the strip, it does hurt a little but remember....TAKE THEM OFF SLOWLY.. These strips really work and make your skin feel all refreshed and new! A box of about 17.99$ for 14 strips..it is pricey but it works! This company has been out since the 70's so something has to be all right with the company :) It is perfect for fast and easy skin care and it really works! Don't forget to read the warnings on the package. One more thing, if you have pimples on the part of your face you want to unclog, don't use the strips, because they'll make your zits worse...take it from us it happened once!,
Take care

Philips Ladyshave

Did you know that buying razors every month or so is harmful to the environment? Yes! All those used razors go to the landfills. One way to avoid more of this pollution is to buy electric razors, like the Phillips LadyShave. Yes it is more expensive, this one costing almost 75$, but it's less wasteful, and a good investment (if your looking long term) Razors can be pricey, so instead of buying packs of razors all the time, you just need to buy one electric shaver that will last you sometimes a couple years! This electric razor works well (Ladyshave by Phillips), but the battery dies out fast. (after 3 usages of about 30 min for one full charge) You have to pass over the spot you want to shave to get smooth results, but if used properly gives you the same results as a razor, with less nicks and cuts.... It is a very good investment for those who prefer to shave.....

Matrix Amplify

For those girls out there (or guys) who want thicker hair! You know how shampoos always promise more volume and never actually works? Well this shampoo works really well. It is pricey (it comes from a salon) but it smells good, keeps its promise and the conditioner leaves hair shiny and very soft! The shampoo claims that its ingredients go below the hair root and helps thicken the hair itself. We don't think it actually thickens it, but it definitely gave our hair more volume! ML have very thin hair, so i was very surprised to see that my hair was bouncier! The conditioner isn't heavy and nor is the shampoo, so it definitely doesn't weigh down your hair...
This product=our money well spent!

Tiny Tip of the Day :)

Have you ever woken up and noticed that you don't have time for a shower and your hair is looking kind of off? Well don't worry, we have a helpful tip...

Did you know that baby powder or baking soda, when brushed through your hair, can take away that greasiness? It's true and we have tried it! Just make sure just to put enough (about a pinch) over that part you brush and make sure to brush it through your hair well.. because you don't want to walk around with white powder in your hair, which has happened to me! WARNING: people with died/colored hair should avoid using baking soda because it will sometimes lighten the color.

Bath and Body Works = Yummy

When we walk in Bath and Body Works ( a yummy store filled with amazing soaps, shampoos and other goodies) our noses are filled with fruity smells! But these aren't the nauseating kind, they're the nice smelling kind. My friend bought me the Sweet Pea Collection and was surprised to see that in the lotion there was Vitamin e, Jojoba butter and Shea butter, all ingredients that boost skin health! The Lotion smells good and hydrates your skin pretty well, I would say 3.5 out of 5... And the body wash ummmm smells amazing. You have to try this. Their shampoos are also pretty good, leaving hair nice and soft and smelling good! Who doesn't want to smell yummy? The sweet pea comes in perfume, lotion, body wash and they are all amazing! It's not expensive and they have stores pretty much everywhere:P Sweet Pea is also one of their Signature Collection which proves that it's popular which probably means its good,

MAC Eyeshadow

If you have ever tried this eyeshadow, you will know that it is professional, affordable and just pure quality :) MAC is one of the best and most well known makeup brands out there so why not try it? Yes it can be pricey $$$ but it is totally worth it. Just one eyeshadow costs 15 $ for a .05 oz (just like the little picture) and it comes in so many colors you'll eventually find your right color! When we tried it it went on smoothly and blended well with the other colors we used for highlighting etc.. and the color lasts so long! It comes in small amounts but one dab can give you alot of color, a little goes a long way :) So in other words it has more bang for your buck than most other makeup brands. It also has some crazy colors perfect for those stage people out there (actors etc.) And again the quality is great,

Giovanni Tea Tree

This shampoo is 100% amazing!! Alot of hairdressers say that buying shampoo at your pharmacy is a terrible idea, some shampoos are filled with chemicals but this shampoo is so amazing we had to write about it! It is called Giovanni's Tea Tree Treat shampoo and conditioner. It is great because it has organic ingredients, and the shampoo gives off a tingling sensation when you use it:) It smells good, tingles and the conditioner makes your hair really soft. Both the shampoo and conditioner range from 8$-10$ which is cheap for what it is. There are many other kinds of Giovanni shampoos , but I love this one the best! 
We should buy more natural/organic products because all the chemicals and sulphates in other shampoos harm the environment. If we're good to the earth the earth will be good to us!

Isn't hair removal a pain in the butt?

Hair removal is a BIG pain in the butt for us girls and for those guys out there! But there are many methods of removal like shaving, waxing and more expensive ways like laser and electrolysis. 
Waxing can be very effective if done properly because it gives you hair freedom for sometimes 2 weeks! And everyone asks...is it painful? The answer is yes, but you get used to it and hey beauty=pain! While shaving isn't painful, it doesn't last as long as waxing, but everyone likes different things. I love the PARISSA brand ( for waxing) because first its natural, second its really easy to use  and third beacaue the packaging is nice :)
You can buy their all ready made wax strips too so it isn't messy and its quick! (which is perfect for those who are impatient) The kit comes with a bottle of Azulene oil that soothes the part you waxed which is a bonus! In this kit the wax is all natural with only 3 ingredients :glyceryl rosinate (pine resin), ricinus communis (castor) oil, and  cera alba (beeswax). So it's not filled with bad chemicals. A kit costs around 12 CAD and comes with 16 strips. Its quick, easy and effective so why not give it a try?

Tips for Beautiful Hair..

Doesn't everyone want healthy hair?These small tips will help you be on your way....
1) When your ends are split its always a good idea to chop them off to give your hair a nice smooth finish.
2)When washing your hair use cold water, because it will help close your hair's cuticle, giving your hair a more glossy look!
3)Washing your hair every day is bad for your hair because it takes off all those natural oils that make your hair shiny.
4)If you have curly hair, it helps to detangle hair when you brush it in the shower.
5)Hair styling tools like curlers and flat irons damage your hair. Flat irons can burn your ends and make your hair frizzy and dry. To fix your problem? Don't use them as much!!! Or when you do, use a heat protectant, just make sure it doesn't have any alcohol in it because that also damages hair. Also a deep conditioner will help too. 
Hope this helped :)

Bad Sunburn??? Use This!!!

Ever had one of those nasty sunburns??? One that would be so embarrassing if you went to school looking like a tomato? Well those days are over!!! Once i went skiing with my friends and came home looking like a very ripe tomato...of course i wanted to fix this because it was in the middle of the winter! Anyway i knew Aloe Vera soothed sunburns but never knew how well it actually worked. AloeX is very good. It is 96.8% pure aloe vera. It is much more natural than let's say Banana Boat, which is good for you and better for the environment. It is also Paraben free so alot more people can use it. When i used it it immediately felt better and most of the redness went away in about 5 days!!! Of course with more natural products, it might not work as well as prescribed lotions. But i paid 9 $ for a tube of 60 grams. It is expensive but it really works for instant soothing of your burns and is a quick fix instead of going all the way to a family doctor. I totally recommend it and hope you enjoy it too ,

Maybelline New York Colossal Volume Express...

Doesn't everyone want a clump-free mascara that give you length and great color? Well this mascara is pretty good... lets say a 3 out of 5. It gives great length and darkens your lashes so it looks natural. And it won't clump, unless you put 3 layers of it. The brush is kind of big so it is hard to get those tiny lashes in the corner, but with a little effort it's great. This exact one isn't waterproof. And for all those who hate taking makeup off, by the end of the day this mascara is almost completely off. Unless you want your mascara to last more than let's say 7-8 hours i wouldn't buy it. But for only about  7 $ it's inexpensive and works really well!
