FUN BEAUTY FACTS: TAKE IT HOME WITH YA!

1. Did you know that Lancome owns L'Oreal?  So it's no wonder L'Oreal has great pigment in their shadows and goes on like velvet just like Lancome shadows.  Except for a much cheaper price!

2. Did you know that if you have static in your hair just run a dryer sheet over your hair a few times.  Not only will it rid your hair of static but give you oh so fresh smelling hair!  I love Gain!!!

3.  Did you know that if you mess up with your self tanner and it ends up drying blotchy say, I don't know on the palms of your hands maybe (you know this has happened to you!) you can use nail polish remover on a cotton pad and rub the color right off?

4. Did you know to help make any lipstick last longer you can separate a tissue by making it one ply and placing it over your lips (once you've applied your application of lipstick) and dip your powder brush into loose powder, it can be face powder or even baby powder and dab it over the tissue making sure to cover entire lip area.  This will "set" your lipstick.

5. Did you know that if you wake up late and don't have time to wash your hair and it's a bit on the greasy side you can sprinkle a bit of baby powder onto your hair and brush it through thoroughly.  They also make dry shampoos that will have the same effect, however if you're in a pinch and don't have any on hand baby powder works fine.

6. A human can shed 10 billion dead skin cells. This is approx. 2 kilos per year. Dust is made up mostly of dead skin. This is more than enough reason to exfoliate everyday!

7. The modern era of perfume began in 1921 with Coco Chanel’s launch of Chanel No. 5.

8. Exercise can combat wrinkles. The boost in blood circulation to the skin strengthens blood vessels and increases the renewal of cells.

9. Antioxidants-  Vitamins A, C and E, combined with goji berries, and green and white tea extracts are some of the most powerful antioxidants that can be delivered to the skin.
