Some might think that as a fashionista you would get
manicures and pedicures and eyebrow waxing and $100 hair cuts but it’s just no necessary
and doesn’t guarantee your entrance into the world of the fashionista. With the
economy the way it is today you have to pick and chose what services you can’t
live with out and the services you can do yourself at home. For instance;
pedicures, buy yourself a basin and fill it with hot water and your favorite moisturizing
body wash. After a good soak pumice the bottom of your feet and moisturize them
with foot cream and wait for it all to soak in. While you’re waiting file your
nails so they are all the same length. Once your feet are dry take you toe separators and put them between your toes,
choose a fun color whether it be dramatic like a deep plum or a classic like
red the colors are endless this is something you should do every week so you’re
not married to the color you choose. Paint your toe nails and give them a good
15 minutes for the first coat to dry. Mean while buff your finger nails and
apply a base coat. By the time you have your nails started you can add a second
coat to your toe nails and let them dry, depending on the nail polish (cheap
polish takes more coats to cover so buy a name brand nail polish) If it’s
summer and you will be showing off your pedicure you can use the same color on
your nails. The newest colors of the season vary; from sparkly, to candy
colored, dark colors, light colors, and then there are the classics of course;
red, pink, hot pink and nude colored beige. Use your lifestyle and career to choose
the right color for you, especially the nails. Take the color you chose for
your nails and apply the first coat; be patient, you don’t want to screw up the
colors so try and distract yourself by watching TV, ten minutes later the
second coat can go on, then the top coat let it dry and there you have it,
manicured and pedicured nails.
As much as I love going to the salon and
getting my eyebrows waxed It just isn’t in my budget. So I have to go old
school and tweeze them myself. I suggest that every time you put on your make
up check your brows and see what needs to be plucked. Constant attention to
your brows will make it look like you had a wax job and it only takes a minute
each day to check your brows for stray hairs.
Last but
not least don’t underestimate the value of a good hair stylist. Find a salon
and a stylist that you love and trust to do your color and trims, over the
counter hair coloring is a recipe for disaster, so many things can go wrong
especially if your going lighter than your natural hair color, most of the time
the lightener doesn’t even work and your stuck with a dark unfavorable color if
you are a brunette, it’s worth the money to get your hair professionally done.
An
inexpensive way to compile make up is to avoid department store make overs and
products, stay away from sephora and hit your local Target. The have a ton of
beauty products from blush to nail polish to lip gloss to mascara, to make up
brushes; they have it all. You can literally build your beauty arsenal at Target.
They also have face wash, moisturizer, hair products, hair accessories and
brushes. The list of what Target has to offer is too much to list, but I highly
recommend Target as your go to for beauty products.
