Tips for taming those curls


This is to all you gals and guys with curly tresses who are wanting to manage their locks.
Tip número 1: Trim your hair at least every two or three times a month. Curly hair is more prone to split ends, so make sure to chop those damaged ends.
Tip número 2: Shampoo hair two or three times a week. Try to use a shampoo specially formulated for your hair type, curly, straight, etc. Our hair makes oils that are good for our hair, but too much isn’t a good things. However do condition your   hair every time you shower.
Tip número 3: Deep condition your hair two times a week, or just once is fine. You can purchase fancy conditioning creams and a hair mask from the department store — or you can use mayonnaise as a treatment.
You will need the real mayo (with all the fat) that can purchase at any grocery store. Use enough to cover your entire scalp, if you have short hair perhaps a tablespoon, if longer hair maybe 1 1/2 tablespoons of mayo. Use a damp, warm towel and wrap you hair, letting it sit for at least an hour. Make sure to shampoo your hair again, if you can use a baby shampoo or just make sure its a gentle one. Then dry and style as usual. This is safe to do everyday if you want, but not necessary.
Tip número 4: If you must blow dry because you don’t have time to air dry, use a diffuser make sure to add some shine drops or frizz control serum.
Thats all for now Besos.. Dania la beauty pie.

Just me

    Hi everyone just wanted to post something just about me if you even care if not well I'm posting anyway :) as my page says I am Dania a girl, woman a lady, who like every other woman out there enjoys makeup and colors and flowers and glitter... long walks on the beach, candle lit dinners ...((haha jk wrong web site))  I love food I love wine oh! and cheese!! aaaahhhh yum and chocolate... and I will stop rambling now!
    I made this site to really promote myself which honestly wasn't my idea to begin with, I have a great God given person who I am so thankful for helping me out with all of this. I am recently still in beauty school but will be done in about 50 hours WOOHOO!! so I can cut hair and color and all that jazz, but makeup and skin care is something I am more inclined to. There is a satisfaction I get in seeing a woman's face light up when they look at themselves all made up, their posture changes their heads are lifted a little bit higher there is a special look in their eyes as corny as it may sound its a tad bit magical. I get a kick out of that, that is why I love doing makeup its a transformer an ego booster an enhancer to a beauty that is already there but most woman haven't discovered or don't believe is there.
    I am in no way an expert in beauty or makeup its just something I do and love to do and everything I blog about is researched not made up or thought about by me, I google I read I have a laboratory where I perform my test (not really) you know the whole nine yards, so everything written on here will be something you have heard about or possibly read at some point in your life. I will provide you with DIY, reviews on department store makeup, because in all reality I cant afford high end ((perhaps someday)) and I don't believe that high end necessarily means better you can achieve the same looks with any brand of makeup you just need to learn how to use it and I will try to provide that for you.
  I hope you keep on reading my blogs and tell your friends, I hope that I can provide information that you will actually use and share. I thank you in advance and wish you a beautiful night. Good bye, Adios and besos Dania la beauty pie.

new year... new habits

Photo from bestskincareproductsguide.com

It's the new year.. yay! Woohoo! It's time for a fresh start for new goals for resolutions and kicking bad habits out of our lives, but I would like to share a habit that I would love for you to incorporate into your daily beauty routine, that will help you clear up your skin, avoid premature wrinkles and just make your skin look and feel soft.

What is it, you ask...?

Well ((drum roll please)) its washing your face daily, exfoliating at least twice a week and always always taking your makeup off before going to bed. Plus it's not cute waking up in the morning with makeup all over your face and pillow Eeewww!

Now this economy is leaving a lot of us pressed for cash, so if you're like my mom and you would rather buy beans and rice before buying that name brand makeup remover or face scrub, well good for you, but that doesn't mean you can't have a fresh face and skip on this routine. There is no excuse.

You can easily make a face scrub and remover with the ingredients you have in your kitchen cabinet. A simple easy kitchen ingredient is olive oil. You can use it to remove your makeup use with a cotton pad. Sweep it over eyes and all over face and presto! Makeup will come off as easy as 1, 2, 3... ((Michael Jackson's song just played in my head))

Also, you can add brown or white sugar to the olive along with a few tablespoons of milk make a paste and in circular motions work throughout your face its a GREAT cheap scrub for your face even your feet!

So let's kick start this year with a fresh face with new good for you habits make this year a GREAT one .... Oh yeah before I forget please always use an spf and drink lots and lots of agua, H20 water!! I can't stress that enough. So till next time...

Adios, goodbye and Besos,

NYE Glitter Eyes

 It's New Year's Eve - do you have an eye plan yet? You know - make up? If there is one night of the year to wear glitter on your lids it's TONIGHT! Here is an easy way to add some sparkle to your eyes and personality too.

First wash your face. You'll need make up brushes, an eye concealer, foundation, shadow and eye glitter and lip gloss. And false eyelashes, you can't forget those!

 Apply an under eye concealer, followed by foundation. When I apply foundation, I always use a stipple brush and stipple the cream all over the face and then swirl it all around for an even, flawless finish.


For the shadow, I added a purple/gray on the center and out of the lid and  touch of teal in the center, topped with some Hard Candy eye glitter.
Next add the lashes! As far as lips, we did a light gloss. special thanks to Maya from Maya in the Moment for being my model!

Happy New Year's!
