So that means this is going to be  interactive. I am going to share information i know to you all and ofcourse you can share yours too. Together we are going to transform from you from looking  ratchet  into a  hot sexybombshell.

Today we are going to talk about EYEBROWS
I chose this first because i usually start from this. I can leave my house without no make up or heels but i cant never repeat never leave my room not even my house without my eyebrows being on point. 

Now with that being said i know a lot of you so called  big babes aka ruinz babes  that walk around looking like the picture below
STOP IT you look Hot but not the type we want. You look a Hot mess. but I still have to give you an E for effort for the fact that you knew that you had to do something up there. which brings me to my first point:
Step 1- Brow Shaping  -When i was younger i would walk around with my brown looking bushy and i thought i was all that and people even thought i thought i  was all that if you get  what i mean
Now ladies this is where brow waxing comes to play. you should never ever walk around with your brows in it natural state, you have to clean it up/shape it. This can be done through waxing, Treading,Tweezing or using razor.
Step 2 - Filling to make your brows look full or even to change the color of the brows without tinting it you can fill it in with a brow pencil or powder, Now this is a little tip, never use black brow pencil/  powder it should be 2 shades lighter for dark hair and 2 shades darker for light hair. secondly your brows should be in the format below. this should be your guide line for filling in your eye brows.

For beginners there are eyebrow kit that could be very useful when years ago i started with benefit brow kit. it come with everything to shape. fill in your eye brows and highlight your brow bones.
The last thing you want to do is high light your brow Gawd you have no idea how it would made you look highlighting any part of your face  makes in stand out.
Okay girls i would like to share with you a few pictures of people i thing have there eye brows down

THE WONDERS OF SHEA BUTTER.

Shea butter, also known locally as 'ori' is gradually gaining popularity among health conscious people. Shea butter is gotten from the nuts of wild karite trees. Some people who have known about it for ages claim it's the best skin healer and moisturizer. Aside its usage for beauty enhancement, its used for burns, ulcerated skin, stretch marks and

dryness.
The local, unprocessed Shea butter is cheap. A handful would cost you like N50. It's thick in texture so its best to mix it with your moisturizer for a much better feel. For those that want to use strictly Shea butter, you can mix it with scented oil to improve the smell. Some other benefits of Shea butter includes;


  • It helps restore the elasticity of the skin. This is really good for new mothers as it helps put your body back to it's pre-pregnancy shape.
  • It helps to heal cuts and burns without scarring. Once you get the affected area clean, apply shea butter to it continuously.
  • It has a natural sun screen protection. Bare in mind that its not enough and should not replace the use of regular sun screens.
  • It can be used as conditioner for the hair, protecting it from damages. Works best when applied to the hair itself not the scalp.
  • It helps reduce fine lines, laugh lines, pimples, eczema e.t.c. on the face.
  • It helps prevent bumps after shaving.
Note that Shea butter neither lightens nor darkens the skin. It specializes in skin repair only. For best results, wash your face/body before bed time and apply your Shea butter-moisturizer mixture. The skin repairs itself overnight, the oil would then go into the skin and repair it.
