Your favourite beauty tips...

This one is mainly for the girls. What are your favourite beauty tips? Some things which you just can’t go without? I’m sure we can learn something new by sharing tips.

One thing that my mum can’t go without is drinking a few glasses of hot water a day, with lemon juice or grapefruit juice. Apparantly, it’s excellent for your skin and also burns the extra fat. I have yet to try this one!

well I would say for me its drinking lots water and definitely its cold in my case....it sure works wonder for skin and also keeps digestive system in good form...the next one is working out at least thrice a week! :)


Be Original~!

tell ure mom to stop doin it before its too late.....my grnadmom did it for god knows how long...not only did she NOT get thin, but she also lost the much needed fat in her knees and other joints, that the joints need for lubrication...the acid from grapefruit and lemon took it away with all the other fat.....just drink warm water first thing in the mornin, and for the fat.....tone it down with some excerising....but the grapefriut and lemon thing is realllll bad! trust me

Thanks for that piece of advice kwhateen! But she also drinks a lot of herbal teas, I don't think there's anything wrong with that though.

Kashish, I definitely agree with the working out and drinking water, do you ever steam or sauna afterwards?

hk, they say you should use cold water on your face and hair coz hot water is really bad for both, causing split ends and premature ageing.

Oh, and another tip: Use Sunscreen!!

very rarely cat woman!

do u know how to get rid of split ends ?? :(


Be Original~!

Ladies,
My jin also gave me a piece of advice for you girls.
You all should...................
oppppps, He got mad and took that piece of advice back.... Sorry

kashish, split ends is still such a big problem, but I think I've learnt 2 lessons:

1) Stop killing my hair by blow-drying it so often.
2) Trim regularly and use a good conditioner.

yay

Another thread dedicated basically for the gals here on Gupshup (the other one is Daysee Behna started regarding Jem…“we are the Misfits, the misfits, no one is better”…)

Okay, er, back to the thread topic,
excellent tips girls!!

Btw, the one regarding split ends, uff, it’s true. YOu gotta cut down with the blow dryer usage, hair products (especially gel & hair spray). They are very very unhealthy for the hair.

Hm…my fav beauty tip…
I think, mine would have something to do with eyeliners & applying 'em. (go figure huh)
Cuz you know, i absolutely love thick-penned eyeliners & stuff.

Oh, okay, here’s one relating to the eyes at least.

  • When you put liquid foundation on your face, don’t put the foundation on your eyelids. Don’t put the foundation on your eyelids especially if you’re going to put eye shadow on else the foundation will dry up & crack & your eye shadow will fade.

& my other frequently used tip regarding lips:

  • Apply a dab of liquid foundation on your lips (just a little bit!) & then apply your chap stick or lip moisturizer or watever. Then put the lip liner, or lipstick, or both on. The colour will last longer that way. Trust me. :slight_smile:

Uff, all of a sudden, i’m reminded of Nageena Rani. :frowning: Guys, where is she?

She’s long gone from gupshup i think.

I am sorry gals that my jin misbehaved last time.
I do have a tip for you. DON'T use hair Dryer, it really weakens hair and secondly, DON'T wash hair everyday, skip a day or two.

Bye

Aladeen, for some reason,
your smiley face icon on the left there doesn't remind me of Aladin or anything, but rather, Aladin's genie. YOu know, the funky groovy blue guy.

Kohal, thanks for the eyeshadow tip! I never knew that one. Okay, if u cant use the liquid foundation on ure eyelids, can u use the semi-liquid ones, in the compact form?
Do you ever wear eye-liner on the bottom? coz i only use the liquid ones…

Aladeen, thank your genie for his generous input!!

yo i once saw this documentary on indonesia

women in suburbs using cow dung as a face mask. they beleive it makes the skin look younger !

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/pukey.gif

and then who hasnt heard bout that indian prime minister, dunno his stupid name. he used to drink his own urine beleiving its a beauty fluid or sumtin ! dayom … things people do


at least i have a positive attitude about my destructive habits.

Tekno dear....
ise kehte hain..."shakal pairi ho to gal changi karni chaide ae".....
heheheh...no offense okay.
It's just that ur icon made me say it!!!

Okay gals...here is something that i have read over and over and over in paki mags but just never did it.
Eat an apple fist thing in the morning and drink a glass of milk after that. Suppose to do wonders for the skin.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
teknoooo, that’s gross man!!
Like, just at the fact at mentioning it. Uff. Btw, tek, how’s it going yo? Haven’t talked to you in a lonnnnnggggg time – how are “things?” :wink:

Catwoman girl, well, why do you need the semi-liquid foundation huh??
Don’t put any on your eyelid. Period!! No need to na.
& as for liquid eyeliner, i only put it on my upper eyelid. The most the lower eyelid could need wrt eyeliner is the dry kinda eyeliner. But oh, if you have the typical paki eyes – big eyes – then be sure to put a very thin line on where the lower eyelashes connect to the inner eye. & if you think your eyes are small, then make apply it a bit more – a bit thicker. With that on, & the upper eyelid makeup, & heck, even the glittery eye shadow, god dayom it’ll look beautiful. :slight_smile:

Guys, um, i mean Girls :rolleyes:, i luv makeup so much. Dunno why. 'Never had the love like this as a younger girl. Weird.

I know the one about the Indian pm but it was cow’s urine because cows are sacred to them…

Nice Topic! :slight_smile:

Well i hav a tip as well…
Fresh fruits make excellent masks. They r natural with no chemicals n ofcourse cheaper

http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/hehe.gif

.. Fruits like papaya n banana r supposed to do wonders for the skin.. like they prevent wrinkles as well as make the skin soft n supple.

All u hav to do is mash em.. n put it on like a regular mask…leave it for like 10 or 15 mins.. wash it off.. n Voila ! …

Stay Pretty

Adios


I’d rather be RiCh than sTuPiD.

Highlighting rules! I've been into dying hair for my aunts, and once I highlighted hers! Man it was fun! No I don't have any tips, except, its just tonnnnnnes of fun doing it! :)

Hmm... u gals might freak out at this, but its just great and worth doing it. Message ur hair for 15 mins before showering with pure olive oil. Leave it up for atleast 2 hrs. It does helps the split ends problem. Trimming hair regularly after a period of 8 months also keeps that problem down.

KOHAAAL! I love mascara!!!

Adios!
