10 Ways to Look Hot Without Breaking the Bank

One of the biggest expenses in a women’s budget comes from beauty and cosmetic products. Here are ten ways you can keep looking great without spending a fortune:
Shop at drugstores like Walgreens or CVS. It may seem that it is necessary to shop at big box stores like Wal-Mart to get the best price on cosmetics, but this is not typically true for the following reasons:
  • Drugstores offer great sales. Each week, scour the advertisement flyers that come with the Sunday newspaper. Drugstores will often have “buy one get one free” or “buy one get one half off” deals. When a product you use regularly goes on sale, stock up and save big bucks.
  • Stores like Walgreens, CVS, or even ULTA, can save you money because of their return policies. These stores allow you to open a cosmetic product, try it, and then return the used product if you don’t like it. Cosmetic products can be hit or miss. It is a huge waste of money to buy something and then abandon it with 90% of the product left.
  • I am not sure about other drugstores, but at Walgreens the “beauty advisors” cut out the Sunday coupons themselves and have a stash behind the counter. Buy your cosmetics at the specific beauty counter and ask the cashier if there are any coupons for the products you are buying. Some of the cashiers are lazy and won’t offer them unless you ask.
If you find something you like, stick with it. The cosmetics aisle sings a siren song. There are a myriad of products found there, and each trumpets a different claim (Anti-aging! Anti-acne! Sunscreen! Moisturizing! Firmness!). The endless options can absolutely paralyze you. You will find yourself confused and vulnerable to an impulse buy. Just keep picking the old standards. You know they work. A new product will probably not change your life.
Use a concealer brush instead of your finger. The concealer will go on smoother and offer better coverage. Yet you will use 1/2 to 1/3 the amount you would with your finger.
Buy products that offer “2 in 1″ features. These products can save you both time and money. Here are some examples:
  • Moisturizers or foundations with sunscreen.
  • Facial cleansing wipes that remove your eye make-up and also clean your face.
  • Foundations and concealers that offer “shade matching” properties. These are foundations like Covergirl Trueblend that are able to change color to match your skin tone. This is useful because you may typcially have fair skin, but might occasionally be out in the sun and get browner. With a shade matching product, you don’t have to have different foundations and concealers for your changing skin tones.
In most cases, store brand products work just as well as the pricey department store brands. Cosmetic products are not required to prove their efficacy or undergo scientific testing or approval from the FDA. So much of the higher price comes from sleeker packaging, marketing, and ingredients that apparently come from deep water springs in the tropics.
  • For example: According to the NYT: “A study of wrinkle creams published last month by Consumer Reports concluded that there was no correlation between price and effectiveness. The study, which tested nine brands of wrinkle creams over 12 weeks, also concluded that none of the products reduced the depth of wrinkles by more than 10 percent, an amount “barely visible to the naked eye.”
  • The Consumer Reports study also found that “a three-step regimen of Olay Regenerist products costing $57 was slightly more effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles than a $135 tube of StriVectin-SD or a $335 combination of two La Prairie Cellular lotions.”
  • Even pricey Proactive doesn’t work any better than a drugstore benzoyl peroxide product at taming acne.
Put your face on a skin care “diet.” Many dermatologists say that putting too much gook on your face is counteractive. According the NYT, Dermatologists are “prescribing simplified skin-care routines requiring at most three steps: soap; sunscreen every day, no matter the weather or the season; and, if necessary, a product tailored to specific skin needs, whether a cream for pimples or pigmented spots, or a vitamin-enriched moisturizer for aging skin. Each product, they say, can be bought at drugstores for $30 or less.”
It is okay to have a couple of splurge items. There are some rare cases where pricier products do work better than the drugstore brands. For example I once tried a friend’s MAC eyeliner and was hooked. It is by far the best eyeliner I have tried. Yet it costs twice as much as the drugstore brands. My solution? I ask for it as a stocking stuffer each year at Christmas. And it is such a great product, it lasts all year.

LOOK HOT!


HOW TO LOOK HOT!

There is not a single person in this world who does not want to look good. Getting appreciated by others is a great turn-on for everyone, be it a girl or a guy. However, most of the girls do not want to look just ‘good’, rather looking hot is what they vie for. One of the basic things to keep in mind, in this context, is that looking good is not just about the physical appearance. It is equally necessary for you to have the right attitude to carry off your look. In the following lines, we have provided a number of ways that will provide you girls with the perfect answer to how to look hot’.


Tips for Looking Hot
Perfect Pair of Jeans

The right look begins with the right clothes. Find a pair of jeans that fits you perfectly, as in it should neither be too tight, nor too loose. It should fit at your hips or waist and not crawl up the rear end. Look in the mirror to make sure that the jeans are flat in the front and do not bunch. The fitting should be such that the button closes smoothly and you don’t have to hold-in your stomach.








                                               Matching Tees
Next, buy a figure hugging tee, to go with your jeans. However, the fitting should be such that your bulges do not show, since ‘they’ do not look hot. If you are a little on the heavier side, you can go for a slightly loose tee. Go for colors that flaunt your assets.












                                               Belt  Mania
Belts, with a broad buckle, are totally in these days. Buy the one that goes with your jeans as well as tee. Try it on first, to make sure that it fits inside the loops of your jeans and the buckle is not so big that it totally takes the attention off the rest of the body.











                                                                                              Sexy  Stilettos
To complete your wardrobe, a sexy pair of stilettos is a must. Remember that sleek, pointed heels can add loads of oomph factor to your look. However, don’t rely on only the looks. The sandals should be comfortable to wear as well. It’s no use buying that elegant pair of sandals, if all you can do while wearing them is trip and wobble.










Chic  Hairstyle
Do you know that the right hairstyle can completely change the appearance of a person? Go to the best saloon in your area and get your hair cut in a style that flaunts your face cut. Next, you need to style them up in the perfect way. Nevertheless, don’t go overboard with excessively volumized, teased, curled or sprayed hair.










Right Amount of Makeup
Yes, it is true that makeup can make an ordinary girl look like a diva, but you need to know the difference between the right makeup and too much makeup. Balancing is a must. If you want a heavy eye makeup, keep the cheeks and lips relatively soft. On the other hand, if you are going for a bright lipstick, just apply a kajal and keep your cheeks soft. With flushed cheeks, eye and lip makeup should be minimal.




                                              





                                                

Seductive Smell
 A seductive smell can add the perfect touch to your ensemble. Keep away from floral scents, even too strong perfumes are a big no-no. A light perfume, with a bit of spicy fragrance, will work just fine. Remember that the scent that you wear should suit your personality too.












Right  Attitude
Finally, the most important aspect of the look, without which all the others are as good as waste - the correct attitude! You need to have the right attitude to carry off the physical appearance. Otherwise, all the effort that goes into creating the perfect physical appearance will go waste. You should have oodles of confidence and never ever be conscious of yourself.

Fat Popstars - Bad Role Models

Fat popstars make you want to eat til you pop?
It wasn't long ago that the headlines were attacking the fashion industry for having size 0 models and for thinking it's okay.  Fast forward to today and we have celebrities being attacked for having a bit of meat on them.  What I say to that is eh??
Poor Jessica Simpson.  Divorcee and her music has gotten just a bit shit over the past couple of years and now she is being hailed as the popworlds Chunkzilla.  Did anybody think that it was possibly what the poor girl was wearing that made her look a bit heavy?  Those high waisted trousers would add a couple of pounds onto anybody's arse.  And despite the extra weight (if any) she still looked great!  So why is she being attacked?  It seems the media want everyone to not be skinny but not have a bit of meat either.  Not all of us have time for our daily workouts on Wii Fit!
Mutya Buena of Sugababes and Big Brother fame has also been describe as 'top heavy'.  Well according to the cover of Heat magazine anyway.  Mutya has always been a curvy woman so why the comments on her size now?  Have we reached a phase of people being too fat so therefore need to fuck off until they are skinny again?
And finally, poor Kelly Clarkson.  After the slaughtering of her previous album 'My December', which is actually very good, she has gone back to her pop roots and having to suck Clive Davis' arse.  Eurgh.  Now she is being attacked for being fat and a bad role model for kids.  Yes she may choose to wear unflattering clothes and she definately needs to sort her hair but Kelly has always been a plus size.  Is this going to be the celebrity version of World War 2?  Over a size 10?  Get them into a concentration camp and get them down to a size 6 stat!  I'd rather they tried to stop the credit crunch.
