Beauty tip: if you have short eyelashes and you don’t have an eyelash curler, you can slightly heat a tea spoon in hot water and with your thumb press the eyelashes against the hollow of the spoon. The result is a curved eyelash. Do you like this tip? Then share it.

Loose side braid ("Alexander Wang braid") is back :)!!!!
Many models (and celebs) have been wearing this hairstyle that is super easy and you can wear it as long as you've got medium to long hair and it doesn't matter if you have a fringe or not. For some inspo I included a couple of photos of models that have worn this hairstyle and a how to video for anyone who doesn't know how to achieve this look.
KEY TIP: make sure its very loose & let some hair out in front! Curling your hair is not necessary.
When it comes to choosing the right cardio work out to keep in good shape, both Adriana and Candice agree, that BOXING is the way to go.
I found out some information about what these two gorgeous models have said about their love for boxing. Definitely should be on your to try list at the gym ;).
Candy: “I work out a lot. I box. I’m obsessed with it. It helps a lot with traveling, you know, to be strong and carry on with everything.” (for New York Daily interview)
"Staying runway ready is no easy feat — especially when you have to walk that runway in lingerie. But Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima does it with the ease and confidence that comes from living a healthy lifestyle! Besides following a healthy low-fat diet, Lima loves boxing as a workout. While she's tried everything from spinning to yoga, the workout that really speaks to her is boxing. In fact, Lima and fellow Victoria's Secret model Candice Swanepoel both list boxing as one of their favorite workouts. Lima even credits boxing for helping her get back in shape post baby! Lima's other secret trick to looking her best? Sunless tanner. It's certainly all working for her!" (source shape.com) CLICK THIS LINK FOR A BOXING WORKOUT YOU CAN TRY NOW ;)
If them saying boxing is the best way to a killer body doesn't inspire you to try it...this video of Adriana boxing certainly will! xxo Jess

I have recently learned how to do this cat eye look and this was the pic that made me wash my eyes like 20 times because I kept messing it up. (so this is for beginners as I'm sure a lot of you will already know how to achieve this look)
Anyway I'll tell/show you the steps that you need to take to achieve this look that Candice wears a lot especially to Victoria's Secret events.
It is a simpler version of a cat eye look and as it does on Candy, it will look great on anyone :).
Hope you like it!
STEP 1: Foundation STEP 2: Apply a neutral color eyeshadow
STEP 3: Explaining it is soo hard..so use a liquid eyeliner and watch this video which will show you how to do the not too dramatic cat eye in detail. :)
STEP 4: Finish the look with a lipstic one shade off your natural lip color. And you're done :) xxo Jess
Don't want to spend money on facial masks and scrubs that don't work anyway?
“A homemade trick from my grandmother, who always had clear complexion, is o to mix lemon juice and brown sugar on a cotton pad and rub it over your face, then rinse with clean water.” Daria revealed for one of her Interviews with Cosmopolitan (an old issue I stumbled across the other day.)
I am also going to share with you a similar DYO facial scrub I use once a week and it is the Lemon/Honey scrub. I pinky promise it works wonders!!!
As this scrub is made of natural Ingredients it is suitable for even sensitive skin.
THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
2 tablespoons of honey
Why honey? Because honey is a very versatile natural beauty product that has been used throughout the centuries by historical beauties such as Cleopatra. It is full of nutrients, antioxidants and other anti-aging, skin clarifying and moisturizing ingredients that make it a must-have among natural beauty experts. (GOTTA LOVE HONEY ;))
1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Why lemon? Because it will act as a natural toner and will help lighten the dark spots on the skin.
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Why olive oil? Because provides moisturizing benefits to dry skin
1.5 tablespoons of brown sugar
Why sugar? It will gently remove dead skin cells to reveal the smooth and polished skin.
Why brown? It is gentler to your skin than normal sugar.
You simply mix these together and apply with a powder brush you don’t need or simply with hands, gently massaging in circular motions onto your skin.
Let me know if it worked for you just as well as it does for me.. xxo Jess
