Eat Yourself Beautiful.

There’s nothing wrong with a trip to Sephora or any other cosmetic store when you want to freshen up your look, but to really look your best you might want to consider a stop at market too. Research has found that certain foods can give you healthy, younger-looking skin and healthier hair.

What to Eat

Research has found that there is a definite link between your diet and your skin. From making your skin healthy to protecting it from sun damage, what you eat can certainly impact how your skin looks. The following will give you an idea of what foods to add to your grocery list so that you can get the glowing skin that you’re after.

·       
Yellow fruits and veggies. Image source- www.hqoboi.com
      Orange and yellow fruits and veggies

Fruits and vegetables that are orange and yellow contain beta-carotene, which is an antioxidant and source of vitamin A. It’s been shown that antioxidants protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals, which have been linked to the aging process.  The vitamin A you get from beta-carotene is also crucial for the production of an oily substance called sebum, which is created by the hair’s sebaceous glands to condition your hair and scalp.

With too little of it your scalp would be itchy and dry and your skin brittle and lifeless. You can get high amounts of beta-carotene from carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, cantaloupe, apricots, and oranges. A good rule of thumb when shopping for your produce: the more intense the color is, the more beta-carotene it contains.

·        
Leafy greens. Image source- feedmink.com
     Leafy greens

You can never go wrong with eating more leafy greens because of the impact they have on your overall health as well as your appearance. Leafy greens contain high levels of an anti-oxidant that also belongs to the category of carotenoids like beta-carotene, called lutein. It works the same way on your skin by protecting the cells from damage from free radicals. It’s been found to protect the skin as well as the eyes from UV damage; not as a substitution for sunscreen though. They also contain high amounts of fiber, folic acid iron, and other nutrients known to promote healthy hair growth. You can get the highest sources of lutein from leafy green vegetables, such as kale, spinach, and collard greens. Non-leafy sources of lutein include peas and leeks.

Glamour Girlz- first eye makeup tutorial using Maybelline color tattoo's.

Bold and glamorous Eye makeup tutorial.
 Hello girls, This is a the very first time I am doing an eye makeup tutorial on this blog. I hope you'll like it and will give it a try when going to a party, wedding or any other occasion. It's a gold and and deep burgundy look. I have created this look using Maybelline Color Tattoo's in the shades Bold Gold and Pomegranate Punk.
So lets begin with the tutorial!
  • Prep your eyes with with a concealer. If your eye area is dry then before starting apply a good moisturizing eye cream like Himalaya under eye cream. You can also use a primer if you have one to make your shades look more pigmented. However, you don't need a primer while using Maybelline color tattoos. I filled my eye brows with Rimmel eye brow pencil.

  • Then I applied Maybelline Color Tattoo Bold Gold all over my eyelid using my fingers since I told you in my earlier post that these tattoos are difficult to be applied with brush. And after that I applied Pomegranate Punk which is a dark color onto my outer corner and crease and blended it with the Gold eye shadow using the blending brush. I also added a bit of the purplish/burgundy shade from the Lakme quad-let on top of Pomegranate punk. Plus I highlighted my brow bone with light creamy shade from the MUA palette.
