The explosion of color, the intense yet delicate shades that the revival of nature brings to the surface is also the source of inspiration behind the latest Dolce & Gabbana makeup collection. Aimed to help women defined their features with elegance and sophistication. The collection is inspired by the breath taking gardens of Sicily.

According to Stefano Gabbana, “The creation of Spring 2011 was almost subliminal; it came directly from our hearts. It gave us so much pleasure to make something so special for the Dolce & Gabbana woman we know so intimately. Secret Garden is meant to be a key to her innermost soul, very personal, very private and, of course, extremely seductive.”

The mere presentation of the collection is enough to create a powerful impression especially on those who have a keen fashion sense as the golden shades accurately create the impression of opulence and sophistication Dolce Gabbana is well known for.

    DIY:Exfoliate your body and your face with homemade ingredients!


    You have pimples and you don't know how to get ride off them?Is it summer and you have dead cells and you don't feel refresh after your shower?
    So, i have the solutions for these problems.....Exfoliation.

    You see exfoliation  involves the removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the skin's outermost surface, and has been used for many years to help maintain skin. Exfoliation is involved in the process of all facials, during microdermabrasion or chemical peels at medical spas. Exfoliation can be achieved through mechanical or chemical means.
    Importance:

    New skin cells are created in the skin's lower layer, the dermis. Over time, cells migrate to the surface of the skin and become more acidic. During their 30 day journey, they die and become saturated with keratin. Keratin is important because it protects the skin from outside elements. Through the ageing process, and after menopause for women, the natural process of skin erosion becomes uneven, which gives skin a dry and rough character.

    Exfoliation removes the outer layer to reveal the newer skin beneath. This shedding of the outer layer unclogs pores, keeps skin clean, and helps reduce acne breakouts. Exfoliation should always be done after cleansing the skin. Exfoliation is important for men as it exposes the hair follicles, allowing a better shave. It is possible to over exfoliate, which dries and irritates the skin. The face is the part of the body most sensitive to exfoliation.Hence, provided that exfoliating causes the skin to dry out, it is very important to moisturize it, because dry skin can lead to wrinkle development.


    Homemade recipe to exfoliate your body:

    1 cup of white sugar.(OPTIONAL:you can also conbine them because it is more benefit.)

    1 table spoon of of vanilla or cinammon.(cinammon adds great smell to your skin and it helps the exfoliation).

    olive oil until it covers up the sugar.

    You put all the ingredients to a bowl or whenever you want and mix the ingredients.
                                                              
    And whenever take a bath do massage with the mixture for 3-4 minutes until the sugar melts.
    If you use it for a week you are going to see how refreshed and clean your skin is.After that put your favourite lotion.

    Homemade recipe to exfoliate your face:


    1 cup of sugar.

    1 table spoon of vanilla or cinammon.

    juice from a half orange.

    1 table spoon of porridg.e

    Mix the together and do massage to your face for 2-3 minutes.

    rince it off and put your moisture cream.

    101:How to choose the right mascara for your eyelashes!



    ''You know what can instanly look more awake?Thicker and fuller lashes.You must know that not all mascaras is best for everyone.''

    Thin eyelashes:



    If you have thin lashes and when you put mascara they go straight down.Don't buy mascara with wet formula because that type is really heavy for your lashes and they go straight down.Try  a mascara which has thicker formula with volume .They are clean with shape which lasts all day long.

    Thick eyelashes:




    If you have thick lashes try to put a wet formula mascara.This formula it is not dry quickly and you have time to create volume.

    NOTICE:
    If you buy a new mascara before you put it on wipe the brush to a tissue because if you are going to put the extra product to the lashes it is going to make them groopy with combs..

The razor and depilatory creams are the most popular and simplest techniques. Many women avoid the razor because it is short and the prevailing view that the regrowth toughest. "If you follow this tried and tested tricks, will increase the space between the two shaves up to 2 days and the hair will come out softer" notes the aesthetic Elena Liberia and adds: "Make a lather with soap and started the process over downwards, ie from the knee to the ankle.
