Crystal Rock Deoderant

I looove natural products that actually do their job. I want to tell you guys about a deoderant that really works. The Thai Rock deoderant. Really works! No more smelling like stinky flowers! How it works is its a hard crystal rock, you wet it and apply right after you shower or it won't work. You swipe under each armpit 25 to 50 times. It kills bacteria before it's had a chance to smell! One crystal rock lasts a year! There is also a liquid roll on form that I love by Kiss My Face. I've tried other crystal rocks and they don't work as nearly as good as these two! It's natural, so it won't stop you from sweating, just smelling. Which is better because our bodies are supposed to sweat and strangly enough my body sweats more with conventional deoderants!

Smokey eye... without makeup!

VERY interesting! I read this online. I haven't tried it yet but seems really cool.

"This is the sexiest smokey eye, and if done right on your partner or friend, can be a very seductive. All you need is a bottle cork from your favorite champagne, and a lighter. First, light the tip of the cork with the lighter until the cork becomes blackened. Let it cool off, and dab it on the center of your eyelid. Lick your finger with your tongue and dab onto the lid, it will help blend. Use the edge of the cork to apply the charred color to the crease, the outer edges, and the bottom of the eye. The trick is to apply a little, blend, then apply a little more. The end result is a sexy, smouldering, smokey eye that will impress your friends at a bar, nightclub, etc. This is also a great look for guys for a rock & roll, edgy look. " - Troy Jensen

When I try it in the future I will let you know! I do not have a cork on hand now. LOL.

Retouching

Sometimes I wish they wouldn't retouch all the models and celebrities in the magazines. It gives women and men an unrealistic view of what they really look like. I think it makes us feel like we should live up to these standards sometimes.. Which of many are not realistic at all!
