Famous Hairstylists

People all over the world admire celebrities for their good-looking makeups and hairstyles, while fashion critics recommend their styles to other women. Celebrities' hairstylists tend to be neglected and they often remain in the shadow of their work of art; therefore we have decided to make a short list of the some of the famous hairdressers that have made Hollywood stars the fashion icons that they are today.
Hairstylists, in turn have the best allies against frizzy or unhealthy hair: professional hair care products. Their work is, thus, facilitated by these products that they recommend to all women around the world. As a matter of fact, professional hair treatments are accessible and they may be purchased from every beauty shop at very convenient prices.
Ken Paves is the favorite hairstylists of many beautiful women in the entertainment industry, such as, Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Lopez. The 14 year-old Ken began working with his mother's hair, at first. Back then he was not so skillful in handling hair, so his perm was actually a disaster. As he grew up, Paves went to professional hair styling classes, he became famous and he opened two salons in America where famous people are often seen crossing his door step.
Jose Eber, on the other hand, began his career in France and later on, moved to Los Angeles where he became Hollywood's most appreciated hairdresser. His trademark resides in the swinging hairstyles he creates. He has also produce many of the natural hair wigs that celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor and Cher have used many times during their career.
Besides cutting their locks, Hollywood stars need a well-trained colorist that can change their image through color. Rita Hazan knew ever since she was a child that she had to become a colorist, so she did her best to complete the courses of the beauty school. Now, famous women like Britney Spears, Carmen Electra and Celine Dion are present in her clients' agenda.
Thanks to the wonderful and highly improved hair care products, any woman can be her own hairstylist. Search for products that have been created in collaboration with world- renowned hair stylists and don't hesitate to purchase them if you want to look as gorgeous as any other star.
Revolutionary professional hair products are absolutely authentic, because they're the evolution of ideas from both editorial and salon stylists

Winter's Coming, Time to Switch Your Skin Products

Winter's Coming, Time to Switch Your Skin Products

Monday November 1, 2010
Did you know in winter you need a lighter colored foundation and a heavier moisturizer? Most women have lighter skin in the winter and you'll avoid the tell-tale dark line at the neck if you switch to a lighter tint in the colder months. You can even mix your winter and summer tints in fall and spring.
Now is also the time to hydrate your skin. This means swapping out your lighter moisturizers in favor of thicker formulas. I use Yonka's Pamplemousse on my face in winter months while in summer, I tend to use Eucerin products. For my legs, I slather on Extra Virgin Coconut Oil in winter, whereas in summer I'll use a lighter lotion-based body moisturizer

Beauty Tip - Home-Made Lemon Skin Care

Packed with sunshine lemons are bursting with health benefits. Just the thought of them makes your mouth water and their refreshing fragrance lifts your spirits. Everyone knows the benefits vitamin C rich lemons have on the body but few know their cosmetic properties. For centuries women have used lemons to cleanse, tone and condition their skin. As a natural antioxidant they combat the signs of aging by helping to stimulate collagen production. The cosmetics industry uses lemons to produce a range of skin care preparations, but they are expensive. You can make lemon rich cosmetics at home cheaply and easily using items from your kitchen store cupboard. Here's how.
Cleansing should always be the start of your skin care regime. To make a facial scrub mix together equal parts of lemon juice, oatmeal and honey. Add water until it becomes a runny paste. Store this gentle cleanser in the fridge and used every day to clean and condition your skin. To use take a small amount in the palm of your hand and moisten with a little warm water. Rub your hands together until evenly distributed, scrub your hands gently over your face paying attention to the creases at the sides of your nose and mouth or any oily patches. When finished use the excess to scrub the backs of your hand, then rinse your face and hands with plenty of warm water. Pat dry with a soft towel. This cleanser is cheap enough to use as a body scrub before a bath or shower.
Use lemon juice to tone the skin after cleansing. Try this recipe. Take two tablespoons of lemon juice, one tablespoon of vodka, one tablespoon of witch hazel and two tablespoons of water. Pour into a bottle and shake well, store in the fridge and use as needed. Apply to skin with a cotton wool pad and leave for three to five minutes. Rinse the face with warm water and pat dry with a towel. Do not use on damaged skin as it will sting.
After cleansing and toning use moisturizer. Make a simple and inexpensive moisturizer by blending together equal amounts of honey, lemon juice and oil. Sweet almond oil is a nice luxury but you don't need to use it olive oil is fine. Put into a bottle and shake until all ingredients have blended together. Dab on face and neck with cotton ball, use the tips of your finger to massage into skin in small upwards circular movements. Rinse with warm water and pat dry with soft towel.
Condition your skin with a weekly mask treatment. Squeeze a lemon into a cup of warm milk and stand till curdled. Put two tablespoons of oatmeal and a tablespoon of oil into a bowl and add the curdled milk, stir well. The mixture must runny enough to spread on the skin but not too runny that it slides off. Smear on your face, neck, hands, legs and feet and leave for half an hour. Rub excess off with clean towel and shower or bathe in usual way. This mask will improve pimples and the overall condition of your skin. Use this preparation to soften the skin on cracked heels and aid healing.
Home made skin care products are not just inexpensive alternatives to off the shelf cosmetics. You are in control of the ingredients. You know where you bought them and how old they are. You can choose to use organic, eco-friendly or fair traded products and you can even make sure they were not produced by child labour

The Story of Mineral Makeup

Makeup created from natural minerals is the newest fad these days, but this is something that has been around for a while. The ancient men and women were the first ones to use natural colors as adornment on their faces and bodies.
Now that the methods of production are more advanced, makeup started becoming unnatural and filled with chemicals, some of which are even carcinogenic. Mineral makeup is an effort to return to the natural ingredients, using minerals that occur on the earth. These are ground into powders and are used as base for the cosmetics.
There are plenty of companies that have their own lines of mineral makeup: BareMinerals, Sephora, Jane Iredale, and many more. They each have their own specially formulated base but the composition is almost the same for all these brands. They sell for different prices depending on the label they are sold under. You can read Bare Minerals reviews as well as reviews of other mineral makeup brands online.
All mineral makeups have the same base for the most part; they differ in the pigments, dyes, and extra minerals added in them. A lot of people are making the switch to mineral makeup because they are becoming more aware of the hazards of chemicals. This kind of makeup is a great change from the carcinogens that we take in on a daily basis.
The trend these days is towards being more healthy and avoiding products that harm our bodies and even our environments. This explains why makeup from minerals is becoming such a hit. If you ask dermatologists whether this kind of makeup is better than the traditional ones, they will tell you that even they themselves are using this. This is something that should give you confidence if you are weighing whether to make the switch or not.
The mineral makeup revolution supposedly happened in the mid 1970s. Producers started making cosmetics from minerals coming solely from the earth. They did not use any of the preservatives, dyes, and chemicals that most cosmetics come with. Thirty years after, the mineral makeup market started to boom.
There are plenty of forms and brands that sell mineral makeup. Usually the prices are between $10 and $50. The most-purchased kinds are blushes and foundations. There are also other types of makeup such as Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick and other lip gloss types.
But some people say that just because something is natural does not mean that it is always better. As with anything else, the opinions on mineral makeup vary. You, as the consumer, should take time to research about it and decide on your own whether to make the change or not

Breaking News! Lisa Rinna Got Her Floppy Lips Fixed

I'm sure I'll get comments on how this is not news, but in the beauty world it most certainly is. Lisa Rinna got her floppy lips fixed (see how they looked before).
Lisa explained on the Today Show in 2009 that she got collagen injections a quarter century ago and scar tissue developed and hardened, leaving her with a botched top lip. Her recent surgery fixed that (she's pictured here post-lip fix).
So how to tell if a pout is natural or not? According to Las Vegas plastic surgeon Dr. Shoib Myint, one tell-tale sign of lip augmentation is perfect proportion. Most people have a bottom lip that's twice the size of the top lip. If the lips are perfectly even, it's a "dead giveaway to those wondering if you've had work done," Myint says. Also keep in mind that lips lose volume as we age (I'm destined for pencil lines, oh well!), so if a woman over 40 has plumper lips than she did at 20, that's another "oh, yes she did."
If you are looking for plumper, bee-stung lips, Myint suggests taking the process slowly. Think of it as going from a cup size A to a B, then to a C instead of jumping straight to double D's. By staying conservative with every round of enhancements, you can create subtle volume that doesn't look cartoonish, he says.

How to Whiten Skin With Milk

We think that in order to become beautiful, we need to spend much money. You need to pay some bucks to improve your skin and other parts of the body. Some people go through cosmetic and plastic surgeries just to have the beauty that they dream of. The truth is, we don't need to spend much in order to enhance our physical appearance. You neglect to use your creativity and your sense of being economical. Did you know that you can lighten your skin using the cheap things found in your kitchen? Well, it's definitely true!
Now run to your kitchen and check if you have some milk. You're not going to drink it. You're going to use it to whiten your skin. Simple, follow the following instructions.
• Milk and Lime Face Mask: Mix a tablespoon of gram flour, 2 tablespoon of raw milk, and 2-3 drops of lime juice. Mix them well and apply the mixture on your face. Wash it off after 15 minutes. This is an effective method to lighten your skin. Do this daily for a month. Then once a week for the follow up.
• Almond and Milk Mask: Immerse four pieces of almond overnight. Crush them into a fine paste using milk. Apply this on your face and neck. Let it stay overnight. Rinse it off with cold water when you wake up. Do this everyday for two weeks. Followed by two times a week.
• Put some milk into a glass bowl. Wet the towel into the milk and rub it all over your face.
You've got to believe it because milk is a natural bleacher. It is actually one of the major components of whitening beauty products.

Make Unwanted Hair Never Come Back

In the modern world grooming is very important. One of the great inconveniences with personal grooming is unwanted hair. Think about how much time and money people invest over their lifetime in removing unwanted hair. We could simplify our lives even more if we did not ever have to worry about shaving, waxing or plucking unwanted hair. Many probably wish some hair would just go away and never come back. The latest solution to this hairy inconvenience is laser hair removal, a medical procedure that utilizes an intense, pulsing beam of light to eliminate unwanted hairs. It has become very popular.
The primary benefit of laser hair removal is that it can result in the permanent removal of hair. It does not guarantee results, but typically after six months of treatments patients experience an extended period of time hair free. Can you imagine having hair just never grow back? You might be able to throw your shaver away. Without that hair growing back you are free to save yourself a lot of time over the years not having to shave anything! The treatment also works on ingrown hairs. You may be able to say good-bye to those red bumps formed by those ingrown foes. This procedure is often painless or accompanied by very little pain. Other methods for removing hair can be much more painful, such as waxing or plucking.
Laser hair removal may be right for you. The price for this treatment varies greatly. Check with local hair removal clinics to discover if this solution fits your budget.

Illnesses - The Reason Behind Some Hair Growth Cases

An obvious growth of hair started when this girl was 21 years old. More than 20 years has passed since then, and even after she has diligently plucked, shaved, and waxed, she still has a thick and dark stubble on her chin. Another girl was plagued by dark facial hair on her upper lip and chin since she was 12 years old. Because of her embarrassment, she would often eat at a restaurant with her back toward the window so the sunlight wouldn't reflect on her.
In a vain effort to improve her self esteem, she bleached her hair as a teenager. How I felt about myself depended sometimes on what the time of day was. These two girls can now say that they have found something that works after years of feeling self conscious and being experimental with different hair removal techniques. The laser hair removal system is the answer they have found to getting rid of unwanted facial hair.
Since 1997, this procedure called laser hair removal involves using intense light to heat and destroy hair follicles underneath the skin's surface. While hair growth may not be entirely permanent, it does extend the duration of hair loss for thousands of men and women who don't want to be seen with hair in certain places of their body.
So far, it's the best thing that I've seen to help someone like myself who has been plagued with hair growth her whole life. I find it incredible, even if I walk out there not completely hairless. This lady has requested for additional treatments and a couple or so touch ups in between since her first treatment. Only five black hairs are all that can be seen on my chin, she said, indicating that the procedures are truly a success.
Of all hair removal techniques, this is by far the most effective in existence. Once uncontrollable, this problem is now manageable. Excess body hair is caused by a condition called hirsutism, polycystic ovary syndrome, and sometimes even prescribed medication.
A good number of men join the numerous women who look at laser hair removal as a solution to excess hair problems they may have. People see the treatment as another option one can consider if he or she does not want to shave or wax areas in the body with unwanted hair. The other girl was so pleased with the treatments on her face, she also decided to get her underarms done. Though she was not inconvenienced by shaving, she really wanted something done about the shadow she felt couldn't be removed.
A patient decided to call the medical director of a local health and beauty institute to satisfy his curiosity after seeing ads of the treatment. In a similar case just like other hair removal patients, she was looking for a solution that was permanent. The director said he can't treat them because they won't be happy people. There is nothing eternally lasting about hair removal. The technology is designed to provide a long term way of reducing hair and controlling its growth in the future.
A questionnaire regarding hair growth and the places where treatment should be done is given to the patient to answer before the director agrees to treat him or her. The patient is asked about what his or her expectations are. He will politely refuse to give treatment to a person who expects not to see any hair growth after. There are those however who would go with the procedure since they would already feel satisfied with a decrease in hair growth and density for a long duration. Rather than going through the hassle of taking care of her sensitive skin, she insisted on this procedure to make her life simpler.

Get Glowing Skin with This Fall Treat


Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons, thanks to changing leaves and autumn harvests. And you can have beautiful skin to match with this fall treat: pumpkin.
This festive orange squash is rich in key nutrients that help keep skin healthy and fend off wrinkle-causing damage, according to Allison Tannis, author of Feed Your Skin, Starve Your Wrinkles.
Pumpkin Face
If you don't get enough vitamin A in your diet, your skin might get dry, writes Tannis. But pumpkin is loaded with beta carotene -- an antioxidant your body converts into vitamin A. Just a quarter cup of canned pumpkin provides over 4,000 micrograms of beta carotene. Canned pumpkin also provides you with a little iron, another skin-supporting nutrient. It's necessary for the formation of collagen, a protein that helps skin stay firm and smooth. And as a bonus, pumpkin also serves up wrinkle-fighting vitamin C

Home Hair Removal Tips - Face Hair Removal

Why pay the professionals, when body and face hair removal can be done in the comfort of your own home?
This article discusses popular methods for removing hair at home. These techniques can be used on any part of the body, including the face. Just remember that for face hair removal, you may want to do a patch test first. Facial skin tends to be more delicate, and sensitivity reactions are possible.
Here are the most common at-home methods of removing hair:
Shaving
Cheap and quick, no wonder shaving is so popular. Do not worry about hair growing back darker and coarser: this is merely an urban myth. Invest in sharp razor blades and change them regularly, otherwise you risk nicks and cuts. Razors marketed for women are angled for feminine curves, allowing you to cut the hairs more closely. Try to shave at night when the fluid has drained from your skin from standing up all day. More of your hair will be exposed when your skin is not puffed up.
Tweezing
Tweezing is slower but lasts longer than shaving. Because hair is pulled out at the root, hair takes longer to grow back. For small areas, tweezing is also better than shaving because the hair tip grows back softer and more tapered. Make sure you use a clean, sharp pair of tweezers for each job. Clean the tweezer tips with alcohol after every time to prevent infection. The best time to tweeze is after a shower when your pores have been steamed open, making plucking easier.
Depilatory Creams
You must absolutely do a patch test with any chemicals that you put on your face. But if your skin can tolerate products like Nair or Veet, depilatories can be a good at-home hair removal solution. As with tweezing, it is best to do this after a hot shower or bath, when the pores have been steamed open and will more readily release the hair. Apply the cream and wait for the hairs to dissolve - set a timer! Creams should only be used on unbroken, unirritated skin. Absolutely avoid if you have any small cuts, irritations or rashes present.
These are only the most popular at-home methods for body and face hair removal. There are new techniques and devices being invented all the time. Some of the newest technologies are at-home light and heat technology removal. You may have seen these devices on TV, marketed as the same technology that you'd get in a cosmetologist's office.

How to Make African American Hair Grow Long Without the Weave

There has been a universal question of how to make African American hair grow long, but somehow we have gotten side tracked and have preferred to go the instantaneous route for hair length (the weave or wig) for longer hair. The hair care industry for women of color is a billion dollar industry producing product after product in attempts to answer this question.
There is a myth that we, as women of color, are destined to have short, brittle hair prone to breakage; it's destiny and we should accept things the way they are. Some of you believe that is your destiny due to a long love/hate affair with your hair, but I am here to tell you that is only a myth and that you can achieve your desired length without the use of artificial means such as wigs, weaves, or hair pieces.
Look around you and see the evidence. Go to any bookstore and you will find black hairstyle magazines sporting women of color with long beautiful tresses that really aren't theirs. I cannot tell you how discouraging and frustrating it is to look at a black hairstyle magazine, and over 98% of the magazine is not about growing your own hair; it is mainly devoted to maintaining artificial hair such as wigs and weaves. I cannot stress to you the importance of knowing that prolonged use of these products will not only impede the progress of hair growth, but over a long period of time, you will steadily wear your hair down to a nub and will have nothing to show for it but a broken pocketbook and a bald head. At that time wearing a wig will not be an option, it will be a necessity and you will then be forced to wear the wig because there will be nothing left but a few sprigs.
Cheer up! If your scalp has not been scarred or damaged and your hair follicles are intact, help is on the way and there is hope for you yet.
The method of how to make African American hair grow long lies in discovering a new phase in hair management found in Secrets to Growing Black Hair Long. Most guides talk about styling your hair, but here you will learn valuable information never before revealed. Go to http://www.squidoo.com/best-products-for-african-american-hair-growth

Get Your 'Do On With Professional Hair Scissors

A picture is worth a thousand words but what about hairstyles? Hair comes in so many colors, lengths, textures, and styles. There are so many things we can do with our hair every day and we don't even realize it. We're all different when it comes to our looks whether we have long, blonde hair and blue eyes or short, dark hair and brown eyes. But just because we all have different types of hair doesn't mean we can't have the same styles for our hair.
This year has so much in store for your hair! There are so many trendy cuts that are becoming huge for 2010. Grab a pair of hair scissors and get started with your new 'do-it's time to transform yourself. The hottest celebrities are starting revolutions every day with new hairstyles. There are so many different ways to wear your hair without having to fret about bad hair days.
One of the hottest styles today is the bob. Celebs like Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow have chosen this classic cut because of its sleekness. Bobs are perfect for you if you have long hair and want a big change. This 'do helps highlight your neck and, if you wear it right, can compliment your facial features like cheekbones and shape of your face. Be careful with the trimming and go to a professional salon where they can use hair scissors that are proven to do a job well done.
Bobs are made for people with straight or slightly wavy hair but not recommended for those with tight curls. Those who have the naturally curly look should go with the long and wavy style. The best way to pull off this look is to use your hair scissors and cut layers to frame your face and get sloping bangs that will hit at the tip of the earlobe. Stars like Kim Kardashian and the Olsen twins rock this style with a part down the middle or you could choose a deep side part for a sleek and sexy look.
Another great hairstyle for 2010 is the classic ponytail. No hair scissors are needed for this trend! This year so many runways in Milan and Paris contained models with both high and low ponytails. The elegance and grace of this look pulls any outfit together and accentuates any personality. If you have short bangs, you can wear your hair in a ponytail, twist the bangs back and hold them in place with a bobby pin or two.
Looking for height? Then you will love the over the top up do! It's easy to pull off and can help add five inches to your height. To get this style, tease your hair at the crown and remember: the messier it looks the better! Next pull your hair into a ponytail, securing it loosely with an elastic and finish it off with some hairspray. Pair this with a pair of hot jeans or something elegant- it can accommodate any look!
Not all hair trends for this year necessarily require you to style. Coloring your hair is another big way to get "the look of the year". The most popular colors for 2010 are rich chocolaty browns that can make your hair look sleek and shiny. This is the perfect way to transform your locks because all you need is the hair coloring kit; no cutting is required! Anyone with any hair can pull this off.
These are just a few of the hottest trends for your hair in 2010. They are so easy to get because they don't require too much work from your hair scissors. Many people are following their favorite celebrities in doing these styles on their hair. Be part of the new revolution this fall and the rest of the year!

الخضروات الليفية

الخضروات الليفية قد تقلص خطر الإصابة بالسكري النوع الثاني

الخضروات الليفية قد تقي من داء السكري الفئة الثانية
الخضروات الليفية قد تقي من داء السكري الفئة الثانية
دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة (CNN) -- تقول دراسة بريطانية أن تناول حمية غذائية تعتمد على الخضروات ذات الأوراق الليفية، مثل الملفوف والسبانخ، قد تساهم بشكل كبير في تقليص خطر الإصابة بالنوع الثاني من مرض السكري.
وكشف الباحثون في "جامعة ليستر"، في الدراسة التي نشرت في "الدورية الطبية البريطانية" British Medical Journal أن استهلاك تلك الخضروات يخفض وبواقع 14 في المائة، احتمالات الإصابة بالمرض.
وكانت دراسات علمية سابقة قد أكدت فوائد الحمية الغذائية الغنية التي تعتمد بشكل أساسي على الخضروات والفواكه في خفض مخاطر الإصابة بالسرطان وأمراض القلب، إلا أن أياً منها لم يبحث في تأثيرها على مرض السكري.
وقام الباحثون بمراجعة ست دراسات أجريت في وقت سابق بشأن علاقة داء السكري وتناول الفواكه والخضروات فوجدوا أن تناول ما يعادل 122 غراماً يومياً من تلك الخضروات، مثل السبانخ والملفوف والبروكلي، يخفض خطر إصابة البالغين بالنوع الثاني من مرض السكري بنسبة 14 في المائة مقارنة بمن يستهلكون مقدار أقل.
ولم تثبت نتائج الدراسة إن كانت الخضروات نفسها تمنع الإصابة بالنوع الثاني من بالسكري، إلا أنها رأت فائدة الإكثار من تلك الخضروات الليفية.
وقالت الباحثة باتريس كارتر من وحدة أبحاث السكري في جامعة "ليستر" إن هذه البيانات تشير إلى أن الخضروات ذات الأوراق هي المفتاح,
والإصابة بالسكري من  النوع الثاني يعني أن الجسم  يفتقر إلى القدرة على الحفاظ على مستوى طبيعي  للسكر في الدم. وفي حال لم يتم التدخل الطبي فإن ارتفاع مستويات السكر في الدم قد يؤدي إلى مضاعفات خطيرة مثل أمراض القلب والسكتة الدماغية والفشل الكلوي وتلف العينين.
ومن أهم الأسباب المؤدية إلى انتشار هذا النوع من السكري هي النظام الغذائي غير الصحي ونمط الحياة في غياب التمرينات الجسدية والبدانة.ويذكر أن داء السكري هو المسبب الرابع للوفيات في الدول المتقدمة، وأحد الأسباب الرئيسية للإصابة بالعمى والاضطرابات في النظر عند البالغين، والسبب الأول وراء بتر الأطراف.
وتؤكد العديد من الدراسات أن مرض السكر هو ثالث سبب في العالم لفقدان الإبصار.
ووجدت دراسة بريطانية حديثة أن مرض السكري يضاعف خطر الوفاة من جراء أمراض القلب المختلفة.
وعزت الدراسة، التي أجراها باحثون من جامعة "كامبريدج" العريقة، المرض إلى أنه يقف وراء حالة وفاة واحدة، بين كل عشر وفيات جراء أمراض القلب، أي ما يوازي 325 ألف حالة وفاة سنوياً بالدول الصناعية.

مستحضرات تجميل خالية من الكحول ومشتقات الخنازير


مستحضرات تجميل خالية من الكحول ومشتقات الخنازير


برمنجهام (بريطانيا) ـــ رويترز:
كمسلمة كانت سامينا اختر تنزعج عندما تعثر على مواد مشتقة من الخنازير في بعض مستحضرات التجميل التي تستعملها، لذلك توصلت إلى حل ''مجموعة من مستحضرات التجميل الحلال الخالية من الكحول والمواد الحيوانية''.
أطلقت اختر خطها الخاص لإنتاج مستحضرات التجميل سامينا بيور ميكاب من منزلها في برمنجهام في يونيو (حزيران) الماضي بعد عامين من التجارب، وتفخر الآن بأول شركة في بريطانيا تبيع مستحضرات تجميل حلالاً.
وقالت اختر (41 عاما) ـــ وهي أم لخمسة أبناء ـــ ''كان ذلك يشكل عبئا على ضميري''. عرفت أن كثيرا من مستحضرات التجميل يحتوي على مكونات غير مسموح للمسلمين بأكلها. ثم بدأت أفكر إذا كان أكلها حراما، فلماذا أضعها على وجهي؟''.
وتضم المستحضرات التي تباع أساسا عن طريق الإنترنت منتجات، مثل: كريم الأساس، أحمر الخدود، ظل الجفون، وأحمر الشفاه، وتبدأ أسعارها من ثمانية جنيهات استرلينية (12.5 دولار)، واستهدفت في البداية نحو مليون مسلمة يعشن في بريطانيا.
لكن فرشاة الرموش غير متوافرة بعد، إذ تجري حاليا دراسة إمكان إنتاجها بمواد حلال.
وقالت اختر إنها تنتج مستحضراتها المتماشية مع الشريعة الإسلامية في أستراليا وأوروبا من مواد نباتية ومعادن وزيوت أساسية وفيتامينات.
وحصلت منتجاتها على شهادة بأنها حلال في حزيران (يونيو) من هيئة في أستراليا تمنح شهادات المطابقة للشريعة الإسلامية.
وتقول أختر إن لديها أكثر من 500 عميلة حاليا، وأن هناك اهتماما بمنتجاتها في ماليزيا وإندونيسيا وسنغافورة والشرق الأوسط.
ولأن المستحضرات تخلو من المواد الكيماوية والمنتجات الحيوانية أيضا، تقول اختر إنها تلقى إقبالا كذلك من النباتيات والمعارضات لأكل أو ارتداء المنتجات الحيوانية.
وانتقد بعض الزعماء المسلمين اختر لاستغلالها مفهوما دينيا لتحقيق مكاسب مادية.
وترد بأن ثمة طلبا على المستحضرات الحلال مع وجود قرابة 1.6 مليار مسلم في العالم، ووجود عدد قليل من الشركات التي تقدم مستحضرات التجميل أو غيرها من منتجات الاغتسال التي تتماشى مع معايير الشريعة.
وتضيف اختر التي تتطلع إلى غزو الأسواق خارج بريطانيا وبيع منتجاتها في الصيدليات والمتاجر ''استجابة النساء حتى الآن إيجابية ومشجعة''. ''أشعر حقيقة أن هذا المنتج.. سد ثغرة في السوق. لا أسعى وراء التربح بل أقدم منتجا يتطلع إليه الناس''.

Beauty Tips For All Women

Beauty is but skin deep, so they say, but do we really mean this nowadays or are we now inclined to judging people by how they look on the outside and a beautiful inside is now a thing of the past? Let's be realistic and get down to what we notice first and foremost when we meet people. First impression seems to be not more on the impact of the character anymore but more so the physical attributes. The face is normally the first to be noticed; however, the skin is the overall outline of the whole physicality of a human being.
Collagen stimulation skin care products have popped out everywhere and everyone promises wonders of science that could make skin ideal. What is ideal skin? It is ironic to find out that white people want to become dark by using tanning solutions and brown/dark skinned people want to become whiter or fairer. The Philippines is surprisingly one of the countries whose women have become so keen on skin whitening products.
Does anti wrinkle cream skin care mean you have to have your ideal color, use artificial products, do alterations, spend much and try arrays of innovations every now and then? Is skin care just about looking good to the point that we now defy the norms of nature by getting rid of wrinkles to look acceptable? Yes for people who believe that beauty is about physicality and no for those who look further. Skin care has become extreme, but I believe the bottom line is being happy with how you look, inside and out.

بالنسبة لنوى التمر واستعماله كقهوة تعتبره النساء من أقوى المغذيات والمدرات لحليب المرأة المرضع .

• يساعد نوى التمر إذا استعمل كبخور بعد الولادة ؛ لإعادة الرحم إلى مكانه ، وللتخفيف من آلام المفاصل .

• يساعد نوى التمر في تسكين آلام الأسنان ، وذلك بتكسير النواة وجعلها في الفم ، واستحلابها ، فتقوم المادة الموجودة فيها بالتخدير لتميزها بطعم مر وقابض .

• يستعمل ككحل ، وذلك بطحنه وتحميسه على النار حتى يسود يقولون يجعل العيون واسعة وجميلة، ويقال: إن الكحل المصنوع من نوى التمر يقوى رموش العينين

• يمكن الاستفادة من نوى التمر حيث يمكن إنتاج ما يعرف ببديل الكاكاو (أو الشاكليت) وقد أجريت البحوث على ذلك وثبت نجاحها عندما خلطت مع الآيسكريم لم يستطع من أجريت عليهم التجربة التمييز بين الآيسكريم المضاف اليه الشاكليت أو المضاف إليه مسحوق نواة التمر المحمض .
كما وأن إحدى الشركات الأجنبية قد انتجت ما يسمى الآن ببديل القهوة بدون كافيين من نواة التمر ويستعمل بكثرة

Choose This Protein for More Mental Power

Chicken or fish? It's not just a choice you make at wedding receptions. Your answer could be a ticket to
 a healthier mind, too.
A recent study suggests that regularly opting for the right kind of protein could mean a significantly lower risk of dementia later in life. And your brain will thank you if you choose finned foods.
The Fin Factor
The study evaluated the health and eating habits of close to 15,000 people age 65 and older from countries around the world, including Peru, China, India, Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. And the people who ate fish often -- nearly every day -- were about 20 percent less likely to be diagnosed with dementia compared with the folks who never ate fish. Researchers suspect that the inflammation-fighting omega-3 fatty acids in fish produce the benefit. (Concerned about mercury in your fish? Here are the kinds of fish you should choose to reduce your intake of this environmental toxin.)
Something in the Water?
So here's what you should choose at each meal if you don't care much about your brain: meat. In the study, the more meat people ate (think beef, chicken, and pork) the higher their risk of dementia. So start making over your meals, and be sure to invite your friends from the sea. Here are a few fabulous meat-free meal ideas to try from EatingWell:
For a simple, fresh fish dinner that's ready fast, try Easy Sauteed Fish Fillets.

For a healthy new twist on taco night, try Grilled Salmon Soft Tacos.

For a sweet, tangy, antioxidant-rich fish, try Roasted Halibut with Banana-Orange Relish.

Find out why combining antioxidant-rich fruit and fatty-acid-rich fish is so good for your brain.

Eat This Snack to Get Skinnier


There's a sweet, super-smart snack that could help you feel fuller, so you'd eat less at mealtimes and fit into your jeans better.
We're talking about prunes. Or dried plums. By any name, research shows that these dried fruits may help whittle people's waists by causing them to eat less.
Hunger Be Gone
When researchers gave 45 volunteers a midmorning nibble of white bread and low-fat cheese, adding prunes to the snack produced some significant findings. The snackers reported feeling less hungry after the prune-infused nosh -- and they ate 6 percent fewer calories at lunch compared with when they had snacked on just bread and cheese. (Did you know? Prunes are great for your heart and bones, too.)
The Fiber Factor
So what gives prunes the advantage in edging out hunger? It's the fiber. Even though each test snack had roughly the same amount of protein, calories, carbs, and fat, the prune snack packed more than twice the fiber. That chewy fiber makes you eat more slowly, allowing your brain to realize when you've had enough to eat. And the roughage sits in your stomach for a long time, slowing down digestion. The fiber also reduces the rate at which sugar is soaked up into your bloodstream -- good for keeping insulin levels on an even keel and reducing between-meal hunger pangs. (Find out what kind of antioxidant punch prunes pack.)
