10 Celebrity Secrets as they Prepare for the Red Carpet

Ever wonder how celebrities prepare for the red carpet? They have a styling team alright, but no one can deny the fact they have sweaty armpits, puffy eyes, and blemished skin to deal with. These 10 celebrities give the lowdown on their preps: from luxurious treatment like Kerstin Florian skin care, to as cheap as breath mints. 1. Sanaa Lathan. Sanaa is an American actress both behind and on screen. She confesses she carries breath mints with her during red carpet because she’ll be talking to people around her. Breath mints are definitely cheap and handy. 2. Helena Bonham Carter. While we always see Helena in her dark, antagonist character, her makeup artist Cathy Highland opt for a cleaner look for her client during the 2103 Golden Globes. Cathy used Kerstin Florian rescue pads to brighten Helena’s eye area. 3. Blake Lively. Blake loves glossy lips so whenever she has the opportunity to wear one, she’ll go for NARS. Pink and peach undertones are perfect for Blake’s complexion, that’s why the best shades for her are NARS Tasmania and Belize lip gloss. 4. Octavia Spencer. During the SAG awards, Octavia Spencer looked astonishing in her dress as she received her Best Supporting Actress in The Help. How did she get that hourglass figure overnight? The answer is spanx. And she wore not just one but three. 5. Jessica Alba. To be red carpet ready, Jessica Alba makes her eyes pop with false eyelashes, specifically Velour Lashes brand. As Tyra Banks always says, “Smile with your eyes,” and that’s what Jessica is doing with the help of her falsies. 6. Naomi Watts. Glowing skin comes from within. So whenever you see Naomi Watts looking radiant on the red carpet, it only means she’s been taking in greens everytime she eats. Vegetables, especially green leafy ones, are low on calories and they aid in cleansing your body. 7. Lupita Nyong’o. Hollywood’s golden girl Lupita has been the fashion industry’s icon because of her classy looks. She’s probably worn every type of dress in every color and print, plus her makeup selection is truly impeccable. For her dark skin, a golden metallic lip is simply stunning on her so her makeup artist used DiorAddict Gloss in Cygne Noir, which is Lupita’s look during the BAFTA Awards. 8. Zoe Saldana. Zoe is one of the most sought-after actresses of this generation. She always looks fit and gorgeous in her dress, thanks to regular exercise and healthy eating habits. She says she gives in to pasta cravings but would eat healthy the day after. 9. Jennifer Lopez. When J. Lo displays her flowing, wavy locks, we can’t take our eyes off her crowning glory. Sleek, polished and styled with old Hollywood glam in mind, her stylist applied a strength solution on J. Lo’s wet hair then a squirt of curling gel for easy styling. 10. Allison Williams. Allison has beautiful, piercing eyes. The best way to emphasize those eyes was to pull her hair in an updo. What she did was put a little bronze smoky eye to make her eyes open. She also added a touch of shimmer at the inner corner of her eyes.

6 Important Things to Bring on a Sleeper Train in Europe

Travelling in Europe is easy (and much affordable) with trains. You can find City Night Line, Thello and Berlin Night Express to name a few. You have more room for extra luggage and bigger weight limit as long as you can carry them yourself. While you’re on board, make sure you have perfume, toiletries, meclizine, cable lock, food and your tickets ready. 1. Perfume. A bottle of perfume will save your longing for a bath. While some people have enough time to clean themselves before the trip, some just have to go straight to the train station after a business trip or a connecting train. Depending on the type of ticket you bought (and the quality of the train), you’ll only have access to a sink to freshen up your face, brush your teeth and shave (for men). Spray a little something on your wrist and neck to feel refreshed. 2. Toiletries.Sleeper and night trains usually only have a roll of tissue and soap in the toilet. Make sure you’re ready with your toiletries and keep them handy in a clear plastic bag. Don’t forget to pull this out from your luggage as you’ll only have a limited space in the cabin to fix your things. Your toiletries should include wipes, facial tissue, toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash, lip balm, petroleum jelly and an ointment for emergency purposes. 3. Meclizine. Meclizine is an antiemetic antihistamine used to treat motion sickness symptoms. This is popularly sold in brands like Bonamine, Dramamine and Bonine. Train tracks aren’t straight all the time and there are times when you’re lying down and you’ll feel the abrupt swerve the train has to take. So instead of puking all over the cabin with other passengers on board, feel free to take meclizine 30 minutes before the trip. 4. Cable Lock. Depending on your destination, there have been reports where stolen luggage is rampant. Though this doesn’t happen frequently, you’ll feel secure if you have a cable lock ready. Whether your luggage is situated inside your cabin or in a luggage rack outside, you can attach your luggage to a metal rod using a cable lock. That way, you don’t have to worry about your belongings while you’re asleep. 5. Food. You can carry food along with you on a sleeper train. Most sleeper or night trains serve food in a specific cabin or in the middle car. However, prices can be steep. Some passengers even complain about the quality of food being served, so might as well bring your own. Lots of food carts, restaurants and vending machines are available at the train station so it’s easy to take out food before boarding the train. 6. Ticket. Always keep your tickets ready for inspection. At the beginning of your trip, the train staff normally checks on your ticket to make sure you’re part of the journey. If you’re not sure which cabin you’re supposed to be in, you can ask the staff right away. Sometimes you have to deal with rude passengers if you’ve mistakenly taken their assigned seats so be ready with your ticket all the time.

5 Steps to Dress Up on a First Date

You finally get a date and you want to make a good impression for the first time. You’ve probably gone out to a lot of first dates but can’t seem to master dating. It’s up to you how to make the circumstance promising but we can show you how to be lovely. So take out your gladiator heels, pull that dress from your closet and smack your lips because we’re teaching you 5 steps on how to dress up on your first date. 1. Exfoliate two days before your date. It’s a daily regimen to bathe and shower but when it comes to exfoliating you only have to do it twice a week. Two days before your date, make sure you exfoliate to get rid of dead skin cells and dry skin. This will also minimize calluses, particularly those seen on your feet. Men are visual creatures so you can expect your date to notice any skin imperfections. Exfoliating is easy and there are lots of affordable body products you can buy yourself. 2. Plan your outfit. Admit it or not, girls are more frequently late on a date than guys. That’s ok. But 30 minutes to an hour does not give a good impression. We know that picking out clothes can be a tedious task so plan your outfit early. This will also give you room to improve your look or know what’s an appropriate outfit for a date location. If you go on out on a dinner date for the first time and you want to be sexy without revealing too much skin, opt for a sleeveless or short-sleeved knee-length dress. Another one would be a fitting short dress with lace long sleeves. Cap it off with accessories and a pair of strappy gladiator heels. We know an inexpensive alternative for a pair of Christian Louboutin Zoulou and that’s Wild Rose Elle-68 Strappy Gladiator Heels ($41.10, MakeMeChic.com). 3. Wear fragrance. One way to make a good impression is to wear fragrance. Men love to sniff their woman because they’d know how much you take care of yourself if you smell nice. However, choose a fragrance that won’t turn you off on your date. Subtle fragrances are better; you smell great with just the right amount of scent. Make your presence felt just by walking inside the fancy restaurant without introducing yourself. We recommend Pure Grace by Philosophy as your first date fragrance. 4. Wear makeup. Wearing makeup is a must but don’t overdo it. As much as you want to wear red lipstick, keep that shade on a romantic date with your future boyfriend. Go as natural as you can but with the right amount of color. Use natural shades like browns and peaches, then add some bronze shimmer for your eyes. For the lips, soft pinks, peach and orange shades are perfect. Nowadays, women find great natural eyeshadow choices from Naked and Naked 2 palettes from Urban Decay. 5. Make a mental list of conversations. One of the greatest downfalls of a first date is the lack of common ground. You can only know certain things about people if you keep the conversation running. Ask him about his family, his work, where he spent his childhood days, his favorite sports and so on. You can also ask about his previous relationships but don’t dwell on that too much. Find something that you two have in common and dwell on that topic. Best of all, keep him interested in you. Dress up your way to a possible relationship. You’re man will find you someday so always be your usual charming self.

5 FAQs on Fragrance Composition

We all love to wear fragrances. Whether these are bought in plush flagship stores or purchased discount designer fragrances from online beauty shops, we savor every spritz of great scent to keep our moods up and to maintain the fresh feeling all day. While we enjoy luxurious liquid in every application, we sure have some questions about the things we put on our bodies. Are these fragrances safe to use? How many natural ingredients should my fragrance contain? When it comes to fragrance composition, all individuals wearing fragrances must be aware of what happens during fragrance creation, the ingredients being concocted, the scent’s lasting power, the climate’s effect, and the use of natural oils. Answering these questions is put together in these 5 FAQs. Q: How do you create fragrances? A: A perfumer masters his craft of creating new fragrances by combining a number of essential ingredients together. For years, perfumers have gained practice and knowledge of which ingredients blend well together, creating a favorable scent. Furthermore, the perfumer thinks of a persona in which the new fragrance gets its inspiration from: an athlete, a sophisticated lady, or an adventurous man. Q: Is the quality of a fragrance better if it contains more ingredients? A: No, the quality of a fragrance does not depend on the number of ingredients combined. Perfumers combine maybe as little as five ingredients or as much as 50. The quality of the perfume depends on the natural ingredients and synthetic ones. In addition to that, there isn’t any rule on how many ingredients a fragrance should contain (at least or at most) but on how these ingredients combine and react to create a pleasant fragrance. Q: How long does a fragrance last? A: The lasting power of a fragrance depends on its concentration. A perfume normally lasts 6 to 8 hours while colognes and body mists usually just around 3 hours. Fragrances also last depending on your skin’s chemical reaction on a particular fragrance. Q: Can the different climates affect the fragrance? Yes, climates can. During summer, the hot weather aids in a scent’s quick evaporation from one’s skin. That’s why perfumers often create light or subtle fragrances for the hot season so that these fragrances can be easily re-applied. On the other hand, on cold climates during the winter season, heavier or more potent fragrances can be used. It’s not advisable to wear heavier scents during summer because our body releases more heat, sweat and oil and the scent’s reaction to our body chemistry may not be pleasing. Q: Are natural oils better than synthetic ones? A: We won’t be able to determine if natural oils are better than synthetic ones. It all depends on how the ingredients are blended together. As in the case of cheap, imitation fragrances, there might be cases wherein some counterfeit ingredients might be harmful to one’s health. Remember, a number of fragrances are pricey because they use a large portion of natural ingredients – and because they’re designer made. Know more about the fragrances you apply to your skin by finding reviews and reading carefully the fragrances’ composition.
