"A pretty face deserves pretty hands"
It's seems that your hands shows the first signs of aging.
Dry ,chapped and wrinkles.
Not the healthy glow we all strive for.
As "living dolls ",we want to keep a polish look from head to toe,but don't forget about taking care of your hands.
The secret is three simple steps.
Exfoliate,moisturizer and sunscreen.
We have to help the skin cell turnover by using exfoliates . A build up of dry, dead skin gives us a dull ,dry complexion, "ick". To make life easier use your body scrub on your hands .Afterwards, apply a hydrating moisturizer to your hands.Something with vitamin E ,aloe Vera or Shea butter.
The last step is to use a sunscreen.
We need to protect our hands from the sun .
The sun can damage your skin as well as your hands.
Look for a hand moisturizer with a SPF and keep it in your handbag ,ready to go!
Keep it pretty,
Nikki

Have you ever put your makeup on prior to knowing that you were taking pictures and your face look like you were playing in flour?
Two or three shades lighter?Who does that on purpose?
Well, if this happens to you please stay away from using your powder foundations alone.
What happens to your complexion under the cameras is that the lights grabs the talc that is use in the powder foundation.
And" wha-la "a ghostly appearance. Not pretty!
You should use a liquid or cream foundation especially for big events such a wedding,class reunions or even for special parties.
A press powder will help to set your look but never use it alone.
Picture Perfect,
Kisses

Keeping your skin flawless always starts with a good skincare regiment.
But guess what ,with our busy lifestyle we all tend to neglect us and our skin.
The trick in maintaining a healthy glow is cleansing.
It's always important to remove your make-up every night.
So keep it simple.
At night use make-up wipes to remove the day.
Make -up wipes are convenient and gentle to the face .
I love them. At one point I had a 45 minute commute to and from work.So at night, on my drive home , I would take my make up off in car.It became one less thing that I would have to do once I got home. And" bam", no face washing tonight!
Make-up ,oil,and the debris from my long day has been removed, thanks to the moist, soft white cloth that resided in my glove box.
Work it out!
Be gorgeous and do you!

Hello Gorgeous! And I mean Gorgeous!!
Usually I'll give a make-up tip or trick for the day.
But today, I decided to really give a" TIP" that we all need to hear from time to time including myself.
One my of my best girls call me today and she was't feeling pretty because of a comment that someone made to her.
Now mind you ,she is stunning.Great complexion ,silky hair,beautiful eyes.
She has a tropical look .
But a comment from someone made her feel " un -pretty".
We are all "PRETTY" no matter what others may think or say.
We should except the fact that we will not impress everyone.It's just not natural.Someone will find a flaw in us and that's okay.But what we have to learn is to ,shake off the "haters" and keep it moving.
Don't let one person's opinion tear down what God has made.
I remember I use to be in love with Shaba Ranks.Do you remember him?(Reggae Rapper,"Mr.Lover Man")
Well, to the world no one thought he was attactive.
No one but me!I thought he was so yummie!
My point is this ,you have to embrace and be confident in who you are ,not what people think you should be.
So my question to you is:
What do you love about yourself?
Me ,I lovvve my eyebrows.
They are perfect to me.
Not too long,not too thin.
They frame my face and open my eyes up.
I love them!
Send me a response on what you love about yourself and don't be ashame
to give yourself holla!
I would love to hear it!
The Eyes Have It,
See you later,Doll

Bright and beautiful eyes are yours for the taken.
I always think that no matter who you are, your eyes are the asset that must be worked.
Your eyes tell people who you are,how you are feeling and sometimes what you are thinking!
So, let's brighten them up!
Place a very small amount of eyeshadow on the eye duct.
Take your eyeshadow brush and blend the shadow up and down and around the eye lid.
You should use a highlighter or eggshell shadow that contains a hint of shimmer.
I know somes "Dolls" think that after a certain age, shimmer is a "no-no".
Not true at all .
It's how you work the shimmer .
And there is a difference between shimmer and glitter.
Shimmer is timeless.
Glitter, well you the know the rest!
Winks and Kisses

Beauty Tip for :08/21/09
Do you apply mascara everyday?
It really makes a difference.
Whether going to work,school or even to the gym,mascara can wake your look up instantly.
It is the one item that will complete and compliment your face with a couple of strokes.
If you were stranded on an island ,the make-up product of choice to take with you, should be lipgloss (with a SPF)and MASCARA!
When you speak to a person ,the first thing you do is look into their eyes. And guess what, their looking into yours too. So keep your eyes smokey and winkable!
For Nikki's FAVES ,click on comments below and I will give you my secrets!
Wink you later!!
P.S.
I know the question ask for one product to take on the island ,but I would have to take two
or I wouldn't go!
