There is nothing more natural than essential oils.

Romance / How To Look Pretty Without Makeup For Your Boyfriend\crush\lover by elitebeautytips: 7:11pm On Jun 03, 2018
Looking pretty or beautiful is a matter of perception. If you're confident about it in your mind, it will show in the way you behave, lending an instant radiance to your personality. But if outward beauty is what you're aiming for―and that's important too―there are a few concrete steps you need to take.

We're listing the steps right here.



1) Hygiene is above all else.

A clean, fresh-smelling person is instantly attractive―there are no two ways about it. Therefore, make it a point to shower everyday, cleanse yourself all over, and shampoo your hair regularly. Not only will this make you feel fresh, it will also keep your skin and hair healthy and clean. Similarly, follow a rigorous dental hygiene routine; brush your teeth twice a day because bad breath is the yuckiest thing in the world. Ensure that your nails aren't broken or chipped―unkempt hands and fingernails can be very unattractive, no matter how "pretty" your face is. The same applies to your feet―keep your toenails clipped, or file them in a decent shape. Remember to regularly slough off the dead skin from your feet to keep them soft and pretty.


2) 'Pretty' doesn't happen overnight.

You have to keep working hard towards looking pretty, as ignoring the basic needs of your body won't reap any benefits. So, make it a point to eat regular, healthy meals everyday, so your skin and hair can gain the nutrients they need to look nice. No kind of cosmetics can help you if your body lacks basic nutrition. Next, remember that your skin needs to be cleaned and moisturized at the end of each day, and this is an absolute rule. In case you wear makeup, be sure to thoroughly remove it before bedtime, as it can clog your pores and result in acne. Regular moisturizing will keep your skin supple and youthful, and if you're also eating right, lend it a nice, healthy glow...Contine reading herehttps://elitebeautytips..com/2018/06/how-to-look-pretty-without-make-up.html?m=1[color=#990000]

Health / Simple Natural Ways To Plump Your Lips by elitebeautytips: 9:28am On Jun 02, 2018
The women who have extra charming, and voluptuous lips; also get extra lovingness, kissing, and oomph from their partners.

Anyway, today I will unlock some natural ways to plump your lips by yourself easily at home. You don’t need any artificial products.

Before going to the main points, better to say, my personal lip plumper is honey. Nothing works as effective as honey to turn my lips fuller and bigger.

Anyway, let’s see how to plump the lips naturally.


1. Exfoliate Your Lips
Exfoliating helps to plump your lips naturally. It removes the dead or chapped skin cells and keeps the lips in a nice shape and definition so that the lips get a touch of attractiveness and fullness. Look for your kitchen. You will get some home remedies that you can use easily to scrub your lips.




Honey and Brown Sugar are the most used and popular elements to scrub the lips naturally. Mix two teaspoons of honey with one teaspoon of sugar. Then massage your lips with it for one minute, and let the mixture stay on your pout for 3 minutes. Lastly, wash your lips off, and give an application of your favorite lip balm, like Burt’s Bees 100% Natural Beeswax. It is a best-seller natural lip balm.

Or you can use a soft toothbrush and Vaseline petroleum jelly. First, leave some Vaseline on your lips for 10 minutes. Then put some on the brush too. Now your lips are ready to be scrubbed. Rub the brush on the lips politely for one minute in the circular motion. It will eliminate all dirt and dead skin cells of the lips. Finally, you can enjoy fuller and sexy lips.

2. Apply Honey on Your Lips
I think honey is the best home remedy to plump your lips naturally. Honey has vitamins, nutrients, minerals, antioxidants, and antibacterial. All these substances are very helpful to get the glowing and silky skin. Honey mainly softens, hydrates, and makes the lips fuller. (Buy honey from Amazon)How You Can Plump Your Lips Naturally



Leave some pure honey on your lips over the night. In the morning, just normally wash your lips off with lukewarm water if it is winter. And see your pout has been fuller, sexier, and bigger.

Or you can massage your lips with a soft cotton ball taking some honey around the ball and on your lips. Massage your lips this way for 4 minutes daily once. Gradually, it will make your lips brighter, and nourished. If your lips are darker, this way is a good option to get pink lips by reducing the dark pigments.

3. Cayenne Pepper
Pepper is known as a spicy item to cook foods. It has been also used as an extract for developing various skin care products. You can use this natural ingredient to acquire plump lips.



Mix some pepper powder with enough water to make a paste. Apply it on your lips for 10 minutes. Don’t lick or bite your lips when the pepper is staying. Then wash your lips off with water. Pepper causes a swelling so that the lips get turned into bigger, redder, and fuller. It may slightly dry out your lips. So, you can coat your lips with a natural balm. It may also slightly irritate your lips. Better will just use 2-3 times a week.

Don’t keep the mixture more than 5 minutes. Use this method just 2 times a week and you will get naturally reddish and plumping lips. If you want flattering lips before any party or celebration, you can follow this natural way before that.

There's nothing like a great manicure to leave you feeling pampered, but sometimes doing your nails at home can be time-consuming. However, there are easy tricks you can do not only to save time and money, but also to achieve a glossy look without having to go to the salon.

We look at the top 15 tips and tricks for a perfect manicure at home
Dry nails in iced water
If you haven’t got the patience to wait for your nails to dry, leave them for thirty seconds then dip them in a bowl of iced water – this will dry nails in seconds.
Make a homemade dotter
You can easily create your own nail patterns by sticking a pin into a pencil eraser. Dip the head into your nail varnish and dot away.
Coat your cuticles with Vaseline
This will protect the skin around your cuticles from erroneous polish strokes. Just swipe away with a cotton bud for a mess free manicure.
Use clear plasters for French tips
Cut a plaster in half then stick it to your nail, leaving a small gap on your tip. Then coat your tip colour and use the plaster as a safety net for any shaky hand slip-ups.
Use a white base for bright colours
Painting your nails white before applying your colour can really made them pop. This works especially well with sheer polishes like neon colours.
Match colours to your skin tone
Nude shades are still huge but make sure you match the right colour to your skin tone. Fair ladies should go for sheer pinks and creamy blushes whilst olive tone lovelies should stick to soft peaches.
Use toothpaste to get rid of stains
If you have a stubborn deep red stain left after your manicure, try scrubbing them with an a nailbrush and toothpaste.
Prep for glitter nail polish removal
Try using craft glue as a base coat before applying glitter polish. When you’re ready change your look, the polish will peel easily off - no more hours of torn cotton pads!
Use a pencil to place gems
If you’re getting creative with nail art, try placing adhesive gems with a pencil. Tweezers usually send them flying but using the lead of a pencil will easily pick them up.
Roll polish bottles instead of shaking them
Shaking nail varnish can cause tiny air bubbles, which will only rise once you’ve painted your nail. Try rolling it between the palms of your hand instead to mix the colour....

Fashion / Simple Exercise To Make Your Nose Sharp And Pointed by elitebeautytips: 10:53pm On Jun 01, 2018
Rhinoplasty is one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures among women in our region; but what if I told you that there are natural ways to get a slimmer nose through simple exercises? I’m not talking about 20 minutes of cardio at the gym, but rather various nose-shaping exercises that you can do at home to gradually alter the appearance of your standout feature. Here, we highlight how to get a slimmer nose—no sweating or surgery required. Go ahead and try these nose exercises to make it sharp.

1. TO SHORTEN YOUR NOSE
Grasp the bridge of your nose with your thumb and index finger. Use your other index finger to push the tip of your nose upwards. Then, pull your upper lip down and release to exert pressure downwards against your index finger. Repeat 10 times, and then relax.

2. TO SHARPEN YOUR NOSE
This exercise also helps to build the muscles that are on the sides of your nose. All you have to do is smile, and push the tip of your nose upwards with your index finger. For best results, perform this exercise 20 to 30 times a day.
3. TO SLIM DOWN YOUR NOSE
First make an “O” shape with your mouth. Next, using your index fingers, gently push your nostrils halfway so that you can still breathe through your nose. Look up at the ceiling, and breathe out through your nose while flaring your nostrils. In order to see results, repeat this exercise multiple times a day.https://elitebeautytips..com/2018/06/simple-exercises-to-make-your-nose.html?m=1
