BEAUTY TIP: No more clumpy lashes!

Tools:
One tube of lengthening mascara 
One tube of volumizing mascara 


How to:
1. First, apply one coat of lengthening mascara; it's a thinner formula than the volumizing kind, so you won't get a lumpy start. Separate your eyelashes with a metal-toothed lash comb afterward. 
2. For your second coat, put on a volumizing mascara. Get really close to your lash bed, wiggling the wand right in there to avoid depositing too much gunk on the ultra fine ends. It also helps if you sweep the brush from side to side as you move your hand upward. 


Buy a new tube at least every 2 months

HAIRSTYLE: Fishtail Braid

Tools: 2 clear elastics, scissors, patience.
Steps:
1. For a smoother braid, brush your hair out first. For a messier braid, leave the natural texture and separate the hair with your fingers.
2. Create a ponytail using a clear elastic.
3. Split the ponytail into two separate pieces.
4. Take a piece from the first side and pass it to the 2nd side.
5. Next take a piece from the 2nd side and pass it back to the 1st side.
6. Once you’ve finished your braid, go in with your scissors and CAREFULLY cut the clear elastic at the top.
Optional: gently pull on the pieces to loosen it up if you wish!
7. When you’re fishtail braiding, don’t think too hard! You’re simply making X’s. Also, remember that when you take the little piece from one side and pass it to the other side, you don’t need to keep track of it.

BEAUTY TIP: Want fuller lips?

Apply your lip gloss or lip stick in a downward motion. This creates fuller looking lips. Optional: Dab on some baby powder before to keep it lasting all day!
