RED-Y for NEW YEARS!

Always wanted to wear a red lip but never knew how to pull it off? Follow these simple tricks to help you rock glamorous red lips this New Years.

Your lips should already have foundation or powder on, this will help prolong the lipstick and make it last throughout the night.

1.       Use a dull point lip liner in a shade that matches your lipstick.

2.       Draw the desired lip—lips are over-drawn to give the appearance of fullness (if you already have full lips, you do not need to worry about this step).

3.       You want to fill in the lips with the lip liner.

4.       Apply the lipstick and cover entirely (you can use a brush to make it easier).

5.       Carefully clean any smudges with foundation and a qtip.

6.       Added Tip—sweep a light colored white or cream matte eye shadow around the bottom lip and                blend, this will really make the lips POP!

DIY Beauty: Homemade Facial Sugar Scrub

A great way to restore moisture to your skin through the harsh winter months is with a scrub!

A recipe to rejuvenate your skin and bring it back to life. The sugar is an excellent exfoliate to remove dead skin cells - leaving you face soft and smooth. 

Follow these steps below to create an edible scrub yummy enough to eat. FYI: great to use for your lips as well! 

Brown Sugar Scrub

Source: www.Lovelyish.com 

1). Mix 3 table spoon equal parts of warm extra virgin olive oil (hint: WARM, not HOT! Mix well to avoid hot spots that might burn) and brown sugar. 

2). Starting with one table spoon of honey, add into your scrub and mix well.  Add more until your mixture becomes gooey.  Depending on the ingredients you use, you can adjust the amount of each ingredient until your scrub becomes the desire texture, a gooey and slightly sticky mix.   

3). Now apply it to a clean and damp face and gently scrub for 1-2 minutes, concentrating on the rough patches.  

4). Wash your scrub off with warm water, and follow with a facial treatment or moisturizer.  Enjoy your smooth skin.    

This can be repeated once to twice a week for best results.

Huetiful Hair and Facial Steamer

Here at Indique, we’re all about caring for your hair; both real and extensions. This is why we love the Huetiful Hair and Facial Steamer. The steam deeply penetrates your hair, providing maximum hydration and improved manageability. In addition, it strengthens the hair by restoring moisture, which reduces breakage and split ends. It’s great for all textures, and doubles as a facial steamer; perfect for some in-home pampering.  

Around the clock skin Protectant

Don’t let winter fool you, just beacuse you don’t see the sun, or feel the warmth that it brings, doesn’t mean it’s not there. UVA and UVB rays are still present and can be reflected off of snow and glass buildings, causing damage to your skin. Neutrogena Clear Face Liquid-Lotion Sunblock has a mild, lightweight, hypo-allergenic formula. It won’t cause breakouts, look oily under makeup, or clog your pores. So remember, keep your skin healthier, smoother, and younger by not reserving your sunscreen for summer fun, instead use it all year-round for maximum protection.
