Big, Black and 2Beautiful!

Hello 2beautiful followers! Ok so for years I've used the same mascara because I loved it soooo much. I couldn't change to try anything else because you know the saying "if it isn't broke why fix it??" Well my mascara wasn't "broken" so no need to search for anything else........until I started hearing all the reviews and raves about Loreal's Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara. I didn't want to neglect my oldie but goody that I was so comfortable with but I couldn't deny that constant nagging in my brain to just try something new, so I did. Boy am I glad I did!!! I've used the Loreal Carbon Black mascara for about 2 weeks now and I am sold! You get crazy coverage on each and every lash, you get insane volume, and it doesn't go anywhere so you can wear it all day (and night) and it doesn't move. The color is the blackest that I've ever seen. When I wash my face at night, it comes off so well . I haven't tried the waterproof yet but when I do, I will be sure and let you know what that is like. I can't imagine it being bad since this one is so fabulous! And the great thing about it is you can get it at any drugstore for only $7!!!! Trust me, it is worth so much more than that. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product!!! Here is a link to check it out.

Go out and get it! You won't be disappointed I promise! If you have it or get it, let me know about it.

Be blessed always!

Natural Face Lift

Crazy excited about this one!!! So I'm going to get right into it. This is for the "wiser" women and men that check in to my blog or anybody else that wants that lift without going under the knife. Here is what you need:

• 2 Egg Whites
• 1 Teaspoon of Sugar (see there is good in sugar) (this is optional also)

Mix the egg whites until they are firm and consistent. It's better to beat it with a whisk. Add the sugar and mix it really well to make sure it's blended. Avoiding your eyes, put the mask on your face for 25 minutes and then rinse with room temp water. You have just given yourself an instant face lift!!! You will see the difference right away. Your pores will be smaller too! Now this doesn't last for days or anything but if you want an instant lift for a night out or that important date or just because you wanna feel gosh darn great about yourself then you do this! I can't wait to hear what you all think about this. Please comment and tell me! :) :) :)

Here is some really cool details about this mask. Eggs have albumin in them. This is the same ingredient that is used in BOTOX!!! WHAT!!!! :) It's also used in Juvederm and Latisse. If you don't believe me, look it up! So instead of paying hundreds of dollars on a face lift, you can just scope out the frig for 2 eggs and some sugar. Who doesn't have that???

What's up Doc?

I got this great tip from a fellow blogger and thought it was too good not to share! So here it is and let me know what you think about it. :)

Not only are carrots good for your health, they can tone and clarify your skin, since they are naturally antiseptic and packed with vitamins (like carotene) and iron. Carrots are readily available all year round so your local grocery store should always have some in stock. Homemade masks made from carrots are most appropriate for people with normal to oily skin types but since you're the chef to these beauty recipes, you can include other ingredients that suit your own needs. My skin tends to be more on the dry side like myself, so I like to add in extra doses of extra virgin olive oil or even half of a mashed avocado to create a hydrating mask. Nom on some carrots while you whip up this easy face mask that will be soothing and delicious for your skin!

HOW TO Homemade Carrot Face Mask

1. Peel & steam carrots. Peel one large carrot and steam or boil until tender (when a fork can easily pierce through it, it's ready). Mash the carrot with a fork or masher until it's a creamy consistency.
2. Mix in honey and extra virgin olive oil. Mix in half a tablespoon of honey and half a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. If your skin is oily, you may omit the extra virgin olive oil.
3. Add a few drops of lemon juice. Your skin type will depend on the amount of lemon juice you add in (lemon juice is a natural astringent, so the oilier your skin, the more lemon you want in your mask). If you have dry skin, add about 8 drops of lemon and if you have oily skin, add up to 1 tablespoon.
4. Check consistency. The mixture shouldn't be too clumpy or too runny. If the mix is too thick, you can add in a bit more extra virgin olive oil or water to thin it out. You can add a bit more honey to the mix to give it a thicker, paste-like texture.
5. Cool down. Let the mixture cool down so that the temperature is comfortable on your skin.
6. Mask time. Apply the carrot mask onto a clean and bare face, even your neck if you wish, but avoid the eye and mouth area. Leave it on for 10 -15 minutes and wash it off with warm water afterwards. Pat dry and follow up with your favorite moisturizer or eye cream.

@beautylish has amazing tips! I hope you all like this one. I can't wait to try it out!

Here are some pictures from a session I did. The colors are very light but that's what she requested. This would be a good bridal look. It's very safe but 2beautiful! I love the Too Faced Naked Palette!!

It's time to get nutty punkin!

Ok here is your weekend 2beautiful secret to try and I want to know about it next week! :) I've done this for about a week now and I'm so impressed by it. (btw-these secrets are all food and can be bought at the dollar store! WHAT!?!? crazy I know) Anyway here it goes. Buy a can of pumpkin, any brand, and smear it on your face all over and leave it on for about 5 minutes. It is rich in Vitamin A and C and Zinc and it will leave your skin with a fabulous glow. What to rinse it with you ask? Coconut Water! And it's ok if you get some in your mouth because it tastes amazing and is great for your innerds too (is innerds a word? Oh well you know what I mean) so whatever you don't use on your face, drink! It will refresh your skin inside and out. To finish up the glowing process, splash your face with cool water to seal up those pores and you will feel 2beautiful in no time. You can do this as often as you want! I hope your enjoying my tips and I would LOVE to hear from you if you tried it.

Have a lovely weekend to all my 2beautiful punkin's :)

Acne Prone Skin

Ok 2beautiful girls, this is for my prom people or anyone that has a problem with Acne. First I want to say that I am bursting with great secrets but I will introduce them slowly so that you can try each and every one of them and let me know what you think. So here we go with the first one......When I was about 19 or 20 my face exploded with acne! I had the worst problem with it and it seemed like nothing helped. I would pick at it and it would only get worse. I tried every cleanser, prescription and over the counter, I seen a dermatologist, and I even tanned (which if I'm being honest helped some) but nothing completely eliminated my embarrassing problem. So for all of you young woman I FEEL YOU ON THIS! I think that's why I'm so passionate about this secret; so are you ready to hear what it is??????? It's food!!!! No you don't eat it, you put it on your face. I will give you the first 2beautiful secret but stay locked in to my secrets because there will be more. I want all you girls to be prom prepped and ready for a wonderful, 2 beautiful night on your most important teenage event! SO get honey and cinnamon THAT'S IT!!! Take one teaspoon of honey and half a teaspoon of cinnamon, mix it up really good and put it in the fridge overnight. When you wake up in the morning, put it on your acne prone skin for 15 minutes and then rinse with cool water. It will eliminate pimples super fast! Now listen for a sec, everybody wants a miracle diet, 1 second beauty, and disappearing acne but that doesn't happen, at least not right away so if you're expecting the zit to be gone when you wash the honey and cinnamon off, you will be greatly disappointed. BUT! It will erase the pimple faster than any product I can assure you of that!!! Try it and let me know what you think and stay tuned for more 2beautiful secrets for great skin!!!
