Turquoise is one of my favorite colors of summer, anytime really. Summer suits it so well and I wear out! Anyone else accent with turquoise like a fiend? Turquoise is a color that adds personality to any look. All it takes is a pop for some impact.
One of the easiest and most overlooked ways to keep your skin hydrated is by drinking enough water. By keeping your body system running optimally with plenty of water you do your skin a huge favor. Great skin is about more than what you put on it, what goes in your body matters most.
When your body isn't getting enough water it pulls the hydration from every available source it can leaving your pretty skin dull, depleted and dehydrated.
I am not much of hair do'er. I give myself a nice blow out and smooth it with the flat iron to wear it down for about twenty minutes before pulling it up ASAP. It works and I like the method to my madness but its not exactly polished.
I now have a go to, quick do, that can be formal, casual or business that takes no longer than pinning up a messy bun but is more refined. It is the Lilla Rose Flexi-Clip. It is a seemingly simple design with a patented pin and beaded wire design.
Once my clip arrived, I thought to myself, no way is this clip going to flex around hair. It seemed to stiff. Well, it's not stiff. Somehow while being ultra durable it is also flexible enough to work around hair with ease.
It took me no more than sixty seconds to have my hair up and looking fantastic, in the french roll none the less.
They have simplistic designs as well as full on glitz clips. I choose the gold Celtic Knot design. The quality of the clip is well made. The ease of use is unbelievable. It is a hair game changer ladies. With the Flexi-Clip bad hair days are null. Bobby pins used to be my hair rescuer of choice, and I still love them, but if time is of the essence I pick up the Flexi-Clip. No fuss, no muss and it is done.
Watching the Lilla Rose sizing and styling video is a helpful and important tool in choosing the right size clip. It is important to order the correct size to be completely satisfied with your Flexi-Clip. If you so happen to choose the wrong size Lilla Rose will glady exchange your clip for free within 90 days. There is also a 1 year guarantee for defective items.

Drooping or low eyelids can be visually lifted using makeup to correct the look. Obviously this is no miracle, we won't be picking up a scalpel or anything just using a little cosmetic correction technique.
Keep the under area of the outer brow tweezed to provide a better arch.
Use eyeshadow to shade along the eyelid fold, blend and smudge outward.
Place highlighter directly under and along the eyebrow arch.
Eyeliner should be applied very thin and thickened slightly at the outside corner in a point to provide a lifted look.
The RIGHT eye pictured marked R has the eyebrows tweezed less and no highlighter added.
The LEFT eye pictured marked L was tweezed using the method described above and the highlighter was added along the arch.
In doing the outlined steps above you keep the attention from drawing downward and away from the lowering eyelid.
Highlighter on the arch of the brow is a nice way to showcase any eye type. Keep those eyebrows looking precise and held in place using this DIY brow gel.
side note: I realize my eyelids aren't exactly hanging low but you get the idea of how you can open and lift the space.
Keep your favorite polish looking good longer. Instead of shaking it before polishing your nails roll it between the palms of your hands for thirty seconds, give or take a few ;) It mixes as evenly, creates less air bubbles and keeps the polish running smooth longer.
