Asian Massage With Ceramic Spoon Creates Firmer, Slimmer Face?

There are so-ooooo many beauty treatments out there. Some are old, maybe even ancient and some are new. Whether most of them really work, is another thing.

We are fascinated by YouTube's many beauty gurus who teach + inspire many of us to be a more attractive + healthier you.

Today, we came across the YouTube sensation, Wengie, a famous Chinese beauty blogger from Australia. And Wengie was demonstrating a popular beauty ritual that many Asian women perform weekly to force their faces into the Asian ideal of the V-shape + slimmer jaw.

This is done WITHOUT plastic surgery or dermatological enhancement. All you need is an Asian ceramic spoon + some facial oil or gel + 10 minutes of time.
.

All the action is done with a FIRM upwards motion. Asian women believe this facial massage is effective at DRAINING toxins and fluid retention from the face.

Here's Wengie demonstrating the facial massage.


Wengie's YouTube video does an EXCELLENT job at explaining  each step.

Now, the million dollar question........

Does facial massage with an Asian ceramic spoon really slim and firm the face?

Hmmm. Probably NOT. But then again, we have NOT tried the popular Asian treatment yet.

Maybe some of you do this beauty ritual. And if so, we would like to know if it's helped or not helped you.

If something as cheap + simple as a ceramic spoon can FIRM the face, then count us in.

Just sayin.....

Afraid To Rock Smoky Red Eye Trend Like Cannes' Kristen Stewart?

I LOVE the smoky red eye trend.

It's hip, modern + sexy. BUT-------

Maybe it's best left to the professional makeup artist to create, because it isn't an easy look to master.

We adore the smoky red eye on actress Kristen Stewart at Cannes earlier in the week, maybe because she just doesn't give a darn about stuff like tell-tale peroxide roots.

In other words, Kristen Stewart doesn't take the whole beauty thing too seriously, so, it works for her. Her attitude is perfect.

Take a look:



Reddish eye shadows are HOT for Spring + Summer 2016.

If you would like to re-create the beauty trend, we suggest trying Lime Crime's Grunge palette ($32), full of burgundy reds, rusts and bruised peach tones.



Lime Crime's Grunge palette has developed a cult-like status.

Will you be trying the SMOKY RED EYE TREND?

Miley Cyrus + Kristen Stewart Over-Bleach Hair With Tell-Tale Roots

Bleached hair can look so sexy + high glam.......when done properly.

But when you're messing around with peroxide, it will get you in the end.

Just ask Miley Cyrus + Kristen Stewart,  who both admit, they have messed up their hair. Although, both stars used another word to describe their hot mess.

Take a look here. Miley wants to CHOP OFF all her hair, because she damaged it all by herself, by going bottle blonde from the drugstore.

We advise Miley to get to her salon ASAP, and let a pro deal with it.

Dyeing it a DARKER shade can COVER the problem and start healing her hair.

Remember, ladies:It's ALWAYS easier to go darker, than lighter, when it comes to hair color.


Kristen Stewart took her badly bleached hair to Cannes and said she didn't care that she was messing with her crowning glory. She likes the look:


"I just did like five movies over a two-year period, and I think it's a very good decision for me right now to stop acting in movies for just a moment, and I've never really done that, I've never changed my appearance," she tells People.

There you have it. When you're young + free like Miley + Kristen, you can experiment with bad makeup + hair,  and everyone cuts you a break.

Bored? Have A Spring Fling With Candy-Colored Hair

It looks like shades of blue remain the HOT trend for beauty. Pastel or candy-colored hair is showing up on celebrities everywhere, and BLUE seems to be the favorite.

Best of all, you DON'T have to commit to the color forever. Just have a Spring Fling with candy-colored hair. It's a temporary beauty thing and washes out with your next shampoo.

Model Karlie Kloss did the temporary blue look back in March, and she looked GORG. She even added blue eyeliner, another popular trend.

She looked so ethereal. Wish she would try this candy-colored hair again. She wears it so well.


If you want to COPY Karlie's Spring Fling blue locks, go with the easy Comb-In + Wash-Out.

We found this at Amazon for ONLY $5.45 + FREE shipping.


Do you dare to try pastel-colored hair this Spring?

Make Mine Matcha: DIY Green Tea Mask For Radiant Complexion

We are so into Japanese matcha tea.

Wish we liked drinking TEA, but since we do not, we LOVE applying it to our face + neck, once or twice a week.

It is AMAZING for your complexion. It delivers smooth, soft skin and TIGHTENS everything up.

The healthy tea draws out impurities and cleanses your pores perfectly.

Plus, it's so-ooooo simple to make.

All you need is a high quality, preferably STONE GROUND green tea powder. We found this popular brand at Amazon for $18,

A bit pricey, but you can make plenty of facial masks with this amount, because you only need very little.


Then, your next ingredient is water. That's it.

We found a super YouTube tutorial that shows you the steps. Click it here.


The matcha green tea mask should sit on your skin until it DRIES completely, about 20 minutes. Then take a wash cloth dipped in warm water to gently remove.

Your complexion will appear almost PORE-LESS.

GREAT stuff for a big night out, or when you want to show off your best complexion.  And it's ideal for ALL skin types.

Bleached Brow Blunder at 2016 Met Gala: Do Not Try This At Home

Maybe because she's a TOP model, Lily Aldridge best pulled off the bleached brow look at the 2016 Met Gala in New York City.

Kim Kardashian + Katy Perry both failed miserably.

I am certainly NOT here to judge, because I, too, had once bleached my brows years ago, because it was somewhat fashionable and designed to soften strong features. Well, it does NOT do anything attractive for your face....looks totally bizarre, especially in photos and NOT recommended for healthy eyebrow hair.

In Lily's defense, her brows were NOT bleached, but transformed through painted on gilded gold brow makeup. Plus, she is so stunning, that she can probably pull off this dopey trend.

Then we have 2 glam ladies, Kim Kardashian + Katy Perry who REALLY had their dark brow hair bleached into barely there eyebrows, and here are the LESS than ideal results.




 Oh, my.....

The ONLY time I truly liked this beauty trend, was on Janet Jackson, when the late, great makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin applied his magic and lightened up her brows.

He was so-oooo talented, he could have made the brows of Kim, Katy + Lily look so much better.

The Simple Choker Remains Hot Trend on Celebrities

The choker. It's so HOT, still. Celebrities like  Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton + Nicole Trunfio are all into the simple, always cool accessory.




Chokers don't have to be super expensive. We found nice-looking chokers here at Forever21:
