How to look like you just had a good night’s sleep

May 8, 2014

We all know how important sleep is for keeping us looking our very best. Unfortunately, with the busy lives we all lead, there just never seems to be enough hours in the day to get it. Thankfully, you can always fake it…

Try these tricks and no one will ever know you had a late one last night!

Eye cream
Eye cream is your best friend! Dab a little over the dark circles for instant de-puffiness.

Mascara
Open your eyes by applying a light coat of mascara. Don’t apply too much, otherwise it just gets clumpy and your eyes will look too heavy.

White eyeliner
White eyeliner can be a little scary but sometimes it is definitely needed! Apply a little on your lower eye rim from left to right.

Blusher
Lack of sleep can leave you looking withdrawn so pop a little blusher to make you look a little brighter.

Eyebrows
Make sure your eyebrows are plucked and defined so fill those brows in.

Protect against both pollution and the sun

May 8, 2014

Did you know that nearly all of visible aging is caused by both pollution and the sun? Well, according to the UK Skin Cancer Foundation it is. This means that sunscreen is just not enough when it comes to protecting your skin.

Thankfully, there are products that help to prevent both of these damaging your skin.

SkinCeuticals, works below the skin’s surface to neutralize oxidative damage and replenish natural antioxidants. They also prevent damage by enhancing the skin’s natural reparative capacity to correct and reduce visible signs of aging.

When used together, a SkinCeuticals antioxidant serum and broad-spectrum sunscreen provide protection against environmental damage and premature ageing.

Products to use include the CE Ferulic, the Phloretin CF and the Phloretin CF .

The CE Ferulic increases firmness and replenishes lipids to reduce wrinkles and is ideal for dry, normal and sensitive skin, while the Phloretin CF diminishes discolouration and accelerates cellular renewal to retexture skin. It is ideal for oily, problematic and normal skin.

On the other hand, the Phloretin CF Gel is ideal for normal, combination skin and those who cannot tolerate a serum.

Their sunscreens work on the skin’s surface to block UVA and UVB rays, by reflecting and absorbing UV rays. The Mineral Radiance UV Defense SPF50 provides universal tint for all skin tones and is an adaptable fluid to boost radiance. The Brightening UV Defense SPF30 can be used as moisturising sunscreen and is ideal for all skin types experiencing uneven skin tone.

Jennifer Lawrence has said she is pregnant!

Much to our amusement – and in true J-Law style – she was joking.

In an interview with Marie Claire, Jennifer Lawrence was asked to give some juicy gossip and she answered: “I’m pregnant … Not really! Quite the opposite really.”

Which was, of course, our beloved Jennifer’s way of telling us it’s her time of the month.

Jennifer also joked that she doesn’t want to be the butt of any more GIFs: “I’m way too annoying because I get on red carpets and I’m really hyper, most likely because I’ve been drinking, and I can’t not photo-bomb someone if it’s a good opportunity. But it’s something I always tell myself: ‘You need to calm the f*** down. You don’t want to constantly be a GIF.'”

We love that girl.

The 5 guys we inevitably fall in love with

Relationships

May 8, 2014

by Alison Egan

There is always at least one of these guys that we can’t help but fall in love with.

1. The one who won’t love you back
No matter what you try this will end in heartbreak. When you finally break up, people will tell you everything will be OK and that it couldn’t have been that serious because they spotted your former partner out last weekend and they never seemed happier.

2. The one you follow
Career, college, another country. Whichever it is at some stage you are going to follow someone somewhere or someone will follow you. It shows that no relationship is completely even and that sacrifices have to be made.

3. The one you stop loving for no reason.
It happens. You may not be able to put your finger on it for a long, long time but love just one day packed up and jumped ship. Explaining this one is probably the most heart breaking for the other person involved because they will want an explanation and even the over used “it’s not you, it’s me,” isn’t enough.

4. The one who has no self love
It’s like falling in love with a stone. It’s different to the first point of someone who won’t love you back though in that they just don’t feel anything for you. The one with no self love doesn’t feel anything for anyone shouldn’t be in a relationship in the first place. Although it could be a case that you’ve fallen in love with them from a distance and their whole moodiness and “goth like” actions were what sparked your interest in the first place. Just stay away…at least until you see them smile!

5. The person who proves you wrong
You said you’d never fall in love again. You’re too busy or you’re just out of a long term relationship, then BOOM. This person comes along to change you perception of what love is. They have the positive side to all the negatives in this article. They love themselves, and not in a vain way. They make you feel like a better person and see all the good in you. Even better the see all your flaws and they understand every one of them.
