MAC Friends & Family Sale: 25% Off Coupon!

MAC will be having their Friends & Family Sale June 16th through June 18th, online only.

The discount will be 25% off all products on maccosmetics. com. It is available to only the U.S. and Canadian MAC websites. The discount code is SUMO.

There’s also usually free shipping on orders over $60.

Condition Cuticles
Pamper your nails without the help of a manicurist. Add the juice of ½ lemon to one cup of warm water and soak your fingertips in the mixture for five minutes. After pushing back cuticles, rub some lemon peel back and forth against the nails to achieve a white and fresh look.

Protect Your Skin
Petroleum jelly is an excellent barrier to keep any polish off your skin. Just rub a small amount around your nail beds before applying the polish. This will also moisturize your fingers.

Shine Nail
To add some oomph to fingernails, plunge them into a bowl of mayo for about five minutes. Wash thoroughly with warm water and then buff your nails to bring out their shine.

Soothe Calluses
Soothe aching feet and make calluses disappear with the same chest rub mom used to treat your colds and chest congestion. Apply a generous coat to your feet before bed and slip on a pair of cotton sock before bed. In the morning your feet will be soft and rejuvinated. If calluses are a problem, apply the rub to the specific area, cover overnight with a bandaid and repeat the procedure until the callus disappears.

Soften Skin
Should you dislike the smell of chest rub, butter can be used as an excellent alternative to achieve soft feet. Simply massage your feet with butter, wrap in a damp, hot towel, sit back and relax for about 10minutes. Your feet will feel revitalized and smell a bit like popcorn too!

 When you’re considering a clothing purchase, be sure each piece passes the rule of three: Can you think of three things to wear it with, three places to wear it to, and three ways to accessorize it?
For example, you spy a lovely washable silk blouse on sale. You can wear it with your linen suit and/or a scarf for the office, with a skirt and your antique gold earring and necklace set for dinner out, and with black wool slacks  (three outfits, three places, three accessories). If you can’t quickly come up with three pairings, places, and presentations, forget it! It’s just not worth the cost.

… who wore it better?

We saw Sonam Kapoor on February 2009 Verve Magazine.   Kalyani Chawla was spotted in Delhi with the same top.
Asin  on March 2009  Hi Blitz. Now Kareena Kapoor on May 200 9 Elle.

My sister told me about MAC Charged Water sometime ago,  I didn’t really believe her, I told her I would try it sometime;  my expectations weren’t high.  The very 1^st time I tried it was when I recently went to a protest which was 5 hours drive from my place.  I applied makeup early in the morning. I spray it on right after I finish my makeup; I got home around 11 at night.  I couldn’t believe my eyes.  My makeup looked fresh.  It looked as if I applied just 30mins ago. It’s wonderful. 

I spray it on right after I finish my makeup or I use it under my moisturizer.  This works well under or over makeup to make the skin look fresher.  It helps set my makeup and it lasts longer.  I wonder if there is any other ways to use it.  I haven’t checked the net for reviews, so if you happen to have it and use this product any other way, please do share.

This product is amazing.  It really helped get rid of dryness, it hydrates very well.  I love the fact my make up lasts way longer and looks more natural. I love it. I give this product 5 out of 5.  I would definitely recommend this product to everyone. I would give this product the best finishing product award.  It’s necessary product for everyone

Revitalizing Energy. Charged water. Skin hydrating mist

Direction: close eyes and spray evenly at least 6 inches from face.  Use anytime, after cleansing, before moisturizing and to reset applied makeup.

When a beauty/hair product is so cheap, I am afraid to try them. I tried Herbal Essences years ago, and it seemed terrible for my hair, so I stopped using them.  After hearing so many positive things about this product, I thought I would give it a shot.

I was using say YES to Carrot conditioner,  I didn’t like it at all. It  dried out my hair.  Long Term Relationship Conditioner, it’s amazing on my hair.

After washing my hair, I leave the conditioner on my hair for 2-4 minutes, then comb it through with a wide toothed comb, then rinse it out.  It leaves my hair incredibly soft, silky, smooth, shiny, full of body, weightless and lets not forget tangle free.  I love it.  In matter of days I have noticed that the tips of my hair are less brittle and my hair is so soft. Not a disappointment.  I love it.

What I didn’t like about it is the smell, it’s a it too overpowering. Also I didn’t like the fact the consistency is almost like yogurt.
