MINT SHOP > Home Hairdresser on Fire | A blog about styling hair, and hair generally How to Launder Delicate Clothing | How to 101 | Style&Beauty Cashmere, silk and like materials require delicate laundering to minimize color fading and extend the life of your garments. Even if your washing machine has a gentle cycle, you can't just toss all of your fine fabrics into the washer and dryer and expect them to come out like new. You need to take time and care to give them the proper cleaning they deserve. Start by reading the label. If your favorite sweater says "dry clean only" you may be able to hand-wash it at home, depending on the fabric. Manufacturers are only required to put one washing method on the label, and the one they cite is usually the least likely to damage your clothing. If the label says "hand wash only," don't use the washing machine's gentle cycle. Place a clean towel on a table, neatly lay your garment on it and roll it in the towel.

Stick foundations | Beauty Attire We love stick foundations because they double as time-saving concealer and base, in one twist-up, go anywhere product. Just apply a touch extra when required on spots, blemishes or broken veins. Our testers were not greatly convinced by may of the stick foundations they tried, and only two of the dozen or so sampled really made the grade with them, as you will see here. And there are no Beauty steals or products with disses for naturalness in this section because they just didn’t score highly enough. We admit that testing foundations for our Beauty Bible books are logistically challenging. Please follow and like us: Save

Anti Aging Skin Products - Best Anti Aging Beauty Products The contenders: Creams and lotions created to keep skin moisturized and boost its overnight-repair function. These formulas often include antioxidants and wrinkle-fighting ingredients such as retinol. Testing time: Eight weeks. And the winners are... It's a tie! The differences between them: Pro-retinol-A–infused L'Oréal received the best overall consumer performance score, including the highest ranking from panelists for firming and reducing wrinkles. Tip: While panelists were generally pleased with the softening and smoothing benefits of night creams, the treatments were less successful at minimizing age and UV spots than more targeted treatments, such as the winning age-spot faders.

Caprese Salad: Re-designed | The Party Dress July 2nd, 2009 | Everyone loves a caprese salad! What’s not to like – a little tomato, fresh mozzarella, a few basil leaves, some olive oil and balsamic vinegar – perfect ingredients all stacked up into one salad. But what if you don’t want to stack them up? Try freshening up your presentation with this idea: Take a whole tomato and cut slices into it (about 1/4″ thick) without cutting all the way thru the other side.

Polish Amor ♥ Balanced Care Of Combination Skin | Beauty Attire Combination skin needs careful care because it has a blend of oily and dry patches. The centre panel, or T-zone, across the forehead and down the nose and chin tends to be oily and needs to be treated like oily skin. However, the other areas are prone to dryness and flakiness due to lack of moisture and need to be treated like dry skin. Having said this, some combination skins don’t follow the T-zone patterns and can have patches of dry and oily skin in other arrangements. If you’re unsure of skin’s oily and dry area, press a tissue to your face an hour after washing it. Because your skin-type has a combination of dry and oily patches, you need a twin approach to skin-care. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Please follow and like us: Save

ShopSmart mag: Makeup counter intelligence! Whenever I go to a TV studio to do a ShopSmart consumer segment, I get a great perk: A free make-up lesson! The stations have the best makeup artists who pull all sorts of products out of their bag of tricks to make us look good—and not washed out—for those high def cameras. On one of my last appearances at Fox, the makeup artist pulled out a gorgeous shade of Chanel blush to sweep across my cheeks. That got us talking about what makeup products the pros think are worth splurging on and what products they skimp on. I know it's changed the way I shop for makeup—from now on, I'm heading to the drug store for a bunch of stuff! When to splurge: Blush. Concealer. Liners. When to save: Lipstick. Makeup brushes. Mascara.

The PolishAholic bakerella.com Scarlett in Modernity: 4th of July Subway Art I am totally into subway art, thanks to the gals over at eighteen25. Not only do they show cool subway art, but they provide the pdfs for download FOR FREE! Gotta' love that kind of deal. So, since I'm too busy to really do any kind of crafty holiday decorating, I just download each season subway art pdf, print it at Costco, and put it in my big frame that I got at JoAnns with a 40% off coupon. And this next one is a "filler" one they put up in May (I think it was May). Each new holiday or season, I look forward to the new art they'll post. Don't get me wrong. So I made my own. and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with myself.
