How to tie in hair tinsels,hair shimmers,bling strands,silk hairs

If this is your first time blinging, please give yourself plenty of time to practice. Blinging is an acquired skill, and as with anything, practice makes perfect.

1. Take your Bling Strand and fold it in half creating a loop. If the hair is longer, you can stagger the ends making one longer. Next, select a single strand of hair along the part line of your style. If hair is fine,
select 2 strands of hair that are very close together. Hold this hair vertically
away from the head.

2. Using your right hand, hold the looped Bling, behind the strand of hair. It will form a ‘+’. Secure the center of the ‘+’with your forefinger and thumb (see picture 1). Using your other hand, put your thumb and forefinger inside loop and reach through the loop, over the hair across the front, and grasp the ends of the Bling (see picture 2).

3. Pull Bling ends through the loop, pulling slightly, creating a slip knot (see picture 3).
Slide the slip knot to the base of the hair next to the scalp.

4. Now, grasp both ends of the Bling in one hand and the hair in the other.
Make a regular knot, keeping the Bling at the base of the hair next to the scalp. If it helps, have the client put their finger on the slip knot at the
base of the hair (scalp) to make sure that the slip knot stays in place while you tie the second knot.

5. Tie one additional knot making sure knots stay in place next to scalp (repeating step 5).

6. Once you gently secure the both regular knots, drop the hair and grasp one piece of Bling in each hand.
Gently tug on each end of the Bling,
pulling in opposite directions. You will feel a slight ‘pop’. This is normal and
will secure your Bling.
7. Gently smooth down the Bling and trim any long ends.
You are now ready to ‘Bling it' in style!

Lipstick Alert

letmepaintyou2 — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:12:05 GMT

I found this interisting info that I thought Id share.....

Recently a brand called "Red Earth" decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.

The Brands which contain lead are:
1.. CHRISTIAN DIOR
2. LANCOME
3. CLINIQUE
4. Y.S.L
5. ESTEE LAUDER
6. SHISEIDO
7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
9. MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.

The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer.

After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the Y.S.L. lipstick contained the most amount of lead.

Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the higher content of lead.

Here is the test you can do yourself:

1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick color changes to black then you know the lipstick contains lead.

Please send this information to all your girlfriends, wives and female family members. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center
Dioxin Carcinogens causes cancer, especially breast cancer.

Perfume decants

sample-this-scent — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 17:23:28 GMT

Hi everyone,

Would you buy a perfume decant?

(A decant made by spraying or pouring perfume from its original bottle into a spray bottle atomizer or a rollon.) People like to swap, share or sell decants. This is quite popular in USA and that's how I found about it.

I love, love, love perfume and currently have about 30 bottles in my collection. Also I get bored of a fragrance very quickly and like to wear a few in rotation. I also like to reapply when I am outside so I keep small atomizers in my purse, always. Maybe others would like to do the same?

This gave me this idea of try and sell perfume decants. This makes an expensive perfume affordable to everyday Aussies, also if you don't like the fragrance, it means that you are not stuck with a big, expensive perfume bottle. If you do love it, you can go ahead and buy a big bottle and can also use the atomizer for your purse/handbags. Initially I am going to list bestselling/popular fragrances / the ones I like (mostly floral, floral oriental). Later I might expand and venture out.

This idea is not exclusive to me, you do however need initial investment of upto 15-20 large bottles, atomizers, time and also most imporant love of fragrance as this can get a bit tedious pretty quickly. Plus you only make a few dollars per sale so ideally there must be many, many listings for you to make little money to even pay for your time and effort. Like I said, love of perfume is a must!

So people any thoughts on this....?

GHD Hair Straighteners

The missus is raving about these and wants some for her birthday. Are they still the best out there? They aren't cheap and have been around for years (which I know is a good sign!) but surely some of the newer makes are as good?
