While browsing through 944 magazine’s fashion section online, I came across a shoot of a girl in bikini in the Everglades.  The photos caught my attention, not only because the girl is beautiful in a very natural way, but they were shot in the wild.  The selection of bikini and jewelry really compliments the mood created by the setting. These photos truly inspired me to go out shopping for a bunch of bikini and jewelry.  However, I could not open the www.voguette.com link, since it asked me to sign in with a password.  My favorite bikini and jewelry (the horn cuff and horn pendant are spectacular!) below:

Hair Care: Store-bought vs. Salon products

The purpose of shampoo is to clean the hair, and conditioner to place a thin layer on each hair, locking in the moisture and leaving it protected. Shampoos strip hair of the dirt and oils – or the sebum, which is what makes it look dirty. The main difference is that store-bought shampoos use mostly chemicals to stip those oils – acids which also strip the hair of it’s nutrients and vitality.  The same goes for other hair care products.  On the other hand, the percentage of natural extracts in salon products is much higher – thus the better results.  In the long-run, using salon products may lead to the prevention of hairloss.

My personal favorite – Bumble and Bumble Creme de Coco.

Another quizz: Naughty or Nice by Max Factor

Filed under: Uncategorized — by beautifullme @ 3:11 pm

Very rarely am I attracted by a banner ad, but this one has such incredibly good pictures and graphics that I just had to click on it.  Max Factor has a new dual line – the  Naughty and Nice collection.  I love the way the lights reflect on the lips because they are so glossy – those images are really exceptional!

And since I love quizzes too – here’s how naughty I am – or how nice…

Fashion and Beauty Magazines

Filed under: Uncategorized — by beautifullme @ 10:20 pm

Don’t we all love getting our fix of magazines – fashion updated, beauty tips, travel tips and so on.  I’ve noticed, however, that nowadays, I barely ever actually buy a hardcopy of a magazine.   There are so many magazines to read on the internet, so why limit yourself to one magazine.  One of my latest favorites – www.visavismag.com – it has the most interesting articles, awesome photos and I feel like I learn a lot more from it than a regular Cosmo… (well… Cosmos and the like are reserved for the beach – since I can’t take my laptop there).  One of my favorite articles on visavis – “Fresh Beauty – Get Gorgeous With Mother Nature” is full of great ideas ideal for the skin care, nail care and hair care regimes of any woman!

Anybody else out there with another cool web-based magazine?

What kind of a beauty am I?

You Are a Flawless Beauty!

When it comes to beauty, you spare no expense – and it shows
You’re the kind of woman a man would launch a thousand ships for
It’s hard for anyone to beat you in the beauty department
But remember, it’s okay to show a flaw or too – you’ve got plenty to spare
