How to Get Tan with Dove Tanning Lotion & Maintaining Tan

Hi ladies! Today I will talk to you about how to maintain a tan, and which tanning product I prefer. I am not really about getting in the tanning bed since it increases your chances of skin cancer with 25% already after only one time in the tanning bed! The sun isn't healthy either in big quantities. That's why I am showing you this amazing product. Let's jump right in.

My go to favorite tanning lotion is the one by Dove. It's the No. 1 gradual self tanning product in Scandinavia. The lotion is white-brown and you can apply it easily like a normal lotion. It contains 250 ml. and can hold up to 12 months after opened.

Colors: It comes with two different colors Light - Medium Skin and Medium - Dark Skin. I've been experimenting with both colors, and I'm defiantly all about the medium - dark skin, since your tanning for one reason - TO GET TAN! The lighter one makes me look greenish and it doesn't give you that much color. If you want to get tan you should use the darker one.
For a full coverage (making sure no white spots) apply two layers - that will make you look tanner, and it will last longer. Let the first layer dry and then apply the next.

Scent: When you first smell it and rub it into your skin it smells nice and summer-like. BUT when you wake up it doesn't smell that good anymore, you will defiantly need a shower to wash of the smell.

Applying: Before applying the lotion I recommend you scrub your body (or the areas wanted tanned). That will help the tan last longer. It's very easy to apply and it dries fast unless you apply many layers.
Make sure to not touch your elbows, because dry areas will absorb the lotion way more than your soft skin. After applying wash your hands really good, cause you don't want those yellow looking hands so everyone can she you've been tanning - we want this to look as natural as possible. 
I recommend that you apply 30-40 min. before going to bed, so it can get into your skin (a tanning lotion needs 6-8 hours without sweating or taking a bath, swimming etc.) so it can develop into your skin nicely while you sleep.
When you wake up you should see great results! When you wake up I recommend taking a shower to get rid of the bad tanning scent.

Maintaining:  Maintaining a tan can be done through many different ways, you can drink a lot of water to keep your skin nice and soft, make a carrot smoothie (it helps keeping your tan) and you can invest in some very good lotions.

These two are really good lotions. The Loreal Sublime Body lotion and the Plaisir Body Lotion makes your skin the softest ever! I've honestly never tried any lotions like these two. Plaisir is a bit more high-end and loreal are a good drugstore alternative, if you don't want to go out and buy an expensive lotion.

I've used these lotion for a long time now and I defiantly see a difference between using them while having a tan or without. They make my tan last longer plus my skin gets really soft.

Now you can enjoy your tan!

How to Look and Act like Kim Kardashian

Many people adore this lady, and I understand why. She got the money, all the men and she got the style. Follow these tips and you're on your way to become Kim Kardashian's new twin ❤ 

1. The beautiful dark brown hair
As we all know, since Kim began dating Kanye, we haven't seen her with her long beautiful hair (extensions) and her style has changed a bit. That doesn't mean that we don't rock the old Kim K hair. All you need to do is 3 simple things. First of all you will have to color you hair a shiny dark brown, if you already have the same hair color, then you obviously don't have to do that. Second thing is get the loooong hair, what you can do is, that you can wear extensions or if that's not your thing, you can buy some hair growth treatments. There is one by Lee Stafford that I've heard good things about. It's called Hair Growth Treatment by Lee Stafford.

The third thing is you gonna use a hair styler (curling iron) and you have to curl the ends of your hair and add some volume to your hair, you can tease your hair and hold it up with some hairspray. When that's done, your hair is totally Kim Kardashian.

2. Get the style

Kimmie got a lot of looks, and you rarely see her in the same outfit twice! She wears a lot of dresses and skirts with a cute top and a nice black blazer. Kim makes sure that she always look girly. Then theres also the accessories. Kim wears a lot of gold bracelets and gold big earrings + she always likes a good french manicure or pink nail polish. When you have done that you don't need that much more.

3. Tan

Kim is so lucky that she got some Armenian in her, which means that she is tan all year around! But although she still gets spray tan even though she already is tan. If you see her show, you know that she almost gets a tan everyday. But when you tan, then you have to do it the right way so it doesn't get the muddy look and so that you don't have white spots. I recommend the Dove Summer Glow Lotion and get it in the darkest color! Therefore you will get darker faster. I've been experimenting with the lotion and it fades naturally and it doesn't leave white spots. 

4. Act like a lady

Kim is really not a fighter, and she is friendly to most people (if you are kind to her). She acts like a lady and she's really sweet. When Kim gets a bad reputation, she really doesn't care that much and gets through it easily. If you have to be like Kim, then you have to think: You know who you are and your friends/family know who you are, and that's all that matters at the end of the day. She doesn't really care about the people who makes rumors about her. 

5. Get the makeup look

Kim is also very known for her long eyelashes, contour and soft smokey eyes. What you'll have to do is grab your smokey eye palette and get the soft dark brown colors. Then in the inner tear duct you'll have to apply some glitter, if you haven't noticed Kim does it very often. If you don't have naturally long lashes, then fake it ("fake it, till you make it" as Khloe, Kims sister says) and then you will have to apply lots of black mascara. Kim favorite mascara is Hypnose by Loreal. What you need now is some clear gloss, or some with a little tint of pink in, and now you are ready. Remember to contour your cheeks, jaw line, temples, then highlight the bridge of your nose, under your eyes, under your contour on your cheeks, forehead and under your eyebrows. Check the picture below if that's easier for you.

How to Cara Delevingne Eyebrows

It's time for the eyebrows! And who is famous for her eyebrows? Cara Delevingne! But she's of course also famous for her modeling.  
But let's not talk to much and jump right to it!

Eyebrows can change up your entire look, and it's just about experiencing with them until you find the best way for you! But right now we are doing The Cara Look. 

If you already have fuller eyebrows like Cara just keep reading, but if you don't a want fuller eyebrows scroll down to "grow longer fuller eyebrows"

For fuller eyebrows:

STEP 1: Take a mascara wand and brush all of your eyebrows upwards so that your brows will look longer (Trick: if you don't have a clean mascara wand, make one - by taking an old mascara and just take the wand and wash it with warm water and soap and there you have it a nice clean mascara wand you can use for eyebrows)

STEP 2: Check the picture above of Angelina Jolie, if your eyebrow fits with the angles you don't need to drag a longer line or anything, BUT if you don't you may drag your line longer to (3) or (1) as seen on the picture. Because if your eyebrows don't go all the way into the "corner" your eyes will look further apart.

STEP 3: Now take your favorite eyebrow product and start filling in your "holes" in your eyebrow. If you need a darker shade use a gel, but if you need to do them lighter take a light powder to fill in your brows. (Trick: If you're not sure about which kind of shade you should use let me help you. If you're blonde, then you should wear a darker shade on your eyebrow 2 - 3 times darker. If you're a brunette you should wear a shade 2 - 3 times lighter than your hair.)

 STEP 4: If you "ruined" your eyebrows the way you brushed them first you may brush them through again to set them.

STEP 5: To "clean" up your eyebrow you can apply a white shadow underneath your brow, just a slighty thin line (don't make it to visible) it makes your eyebrow stand out more, which is exactly what you want because we're going for The Cara Look.

  

Grow longer fuller eyebrows:

For you who hasn't those long eyebrows... YET!
You can do a simple step to grow them longer, you may have heard it before. Apply vaseline every night to your eyebrows and they'll eventually grow stronger, thicker and longer in a few weeks :) Same thing as you can with your eyelashes, just make sure it doesn't get into your eye. 

I've done this myself with both brows and lashes - it helps!

Try with the vaseline for a few weeks and then come back to read how to do the Cara eyebrows :)

How To Prevent Greasy Hair

Greasy hair is not so great... unless you're Megan Fox.
I mean greasy hair does not look cute at all unless it's on purpose. Obviously Megan's hair is not greasy, but filled with hairspray, mouse etc. But what I mean is greasy hair is just not something you want unless it's to make a smooth looking bun, or a sleek look (like Megan Fox) but otherwise have you ever tried getting greasy hair 1-1½ day right after you washed it? Don't worry I've figured out that you should really listen to your hairdresser when they say you need to shampoo twice in the shower. YES you will need to wash your hair twice, because suddenly your hair can last up to 4 days without getting washed, which is amazing! I've now been shampooing twice for a very long time and I've forgot all about greasy until my friends asked me how my hair never looks greasy.

But there you have it! Shampoo twice

The thing is first time you shampoo you wash out all the bacteria, and afterwards you wanna do it again and then the shampoo will go in your hair and do it's magic :)

How To Prevent Yellow Nails

This post will be about how to prevent yellow nails, which many girls who wear a lot of nail polish have experienced. It's defiantly not nice to have yellow nails, and it does not look flattering at all.
There's a trick to prevent that!

I'm a girl who wears a lot of nail polish, many different colors. If you do that to you have maybe noticed your nails start getting yellow after wearing strong dark colors, maybe red, black or another dark color. The trick is very simple. You just need to apply a clear base coat before applying any color to your nails.
It will automatically keep your stronger color from getting into your nail because of that base coat.

You can get clear base coat nail polishes many places. - at your drugstore, clothing stores etc.
BUT it does not have to say it's a base coat, if it's just a nail polish that's totally clear you can also use that, but I do prefer the once that says base coat, because they are made specific for that purpose.
But there's not a big difference.

So there you have it ladies! The trick for preventing the unwanted yellow nails and you'll start seeing the difference in about a week. So you can have your clean nails back again :)

 

Kim Kardashian ❤ Get the Look // Ripped Jeans & White Blazer

Hi ladies! So for this post I'm obviously doing a "Get the Look" inspired by Kim Kardashian.
I think this look is really chic and you can use it for an everyday look or a "going shopping look" with your friends. I like the different clothes she styled together, and the ripped jeans are standing out. I really like that! Because when you're wearing a very nice pair of jeans/ripped jeans you want to make them stand out. She paired them with a black shirt and a white blazer, and because of those basic colors the blue ripped jeans will automatically stand out more. If she'd worn a pink shirt, that would have taken more attention away from the jeans. - Hope you get my point of view

She paired the clothes with a nice pair of blank black pointed stilettos, which gives the look a more girly look. As accessories she's wearing a silver bracelet, black scarf and a pair of rounded sunglasses.

All in one - I really love the look. It's a nice example of how to spice up an everyday look.
