Halloween: Hermione Granger

In the magical world, she's an intelligent, straight A's student. In real life, she gets straight As too--plus she's rich and soooo glamorous. She's one of the most beloved witches and famous actresses. SHE'S GOT IT ALL. Not everyone can have a life like hers, but it won't harm to have a little fun on Halloween, will it?



So here's a guide on how to steal Hermione Granger's look.


HAIR

I found 2 helpful vids on Youtube. The first one is a tutorial on Hermione's everyday hair:

The second one is about Hermione's hairstyle in Christmas ball:

Makeup



Actually Hermione doesn't have heavy makeup on. So you can simply skip this or wear really natural makeup. Here are some tips:

• Do NOT wear eyeliner on your waterline. It's way too noticeable. Remember you're trying to kepping everything natural?
• If you have a few freckles, do NOT hide them with concealor. If you don't have any, dot some here and there on your face and nose with a brown pencil eyeliner.
• To acheive Hermione's flawless+natural looking skin, I recommend BB cream.
• Hermione has delicate eyebrows. You may wanna consider fixing your eyebrows.

Opps and another thing: if you can, try to carry a few books with you. That sounds like something Hermione would do. LOL

This is a pretty short article. Still, I hope this helped. Enjoy :)

shampoo's and conditioners:
Phyto Organics chromalife colour lock
(or any part of phyto organics) it keeps your hair nice and strong and helps your dye last longer!

Vivvaa (get the bottles sorted to your hair color/dye) This makes your hair more vibrant and healthier. along with a nice shine.

Ted Gibson: This is great for your hair, gives you all the vitamins your hair needs while not stripping any moisture or healthy oils

Products:
Ocean sea mist (phyto organics): this gives you beautiful volume! apply when dry.

Morrocan Oil: a dime size is good enough! this oil gives you a beautiful shine and a healthy feeling hair. apply when wet.

Colorsafe super straighening gel: Put a dime size of this in your hand and mush it in while your hair is wet, and make SURE to blow dry. then straighten, and wala! perfectly straight hair.

Fred Frieda Collection: frizz free: only a dime size, this keeps all the frizz out of your hair in a very healthy way without getting to oily, apply when wet.

Sally Hershberger curling control: this spray and gell works amazing for girls! for the spray, spray it on while your hair is wet and put it into a clip, now you can either sleep with it in or airdry it until its completely dry, after work, put the gel in and it will give you crisp, clean and polisehd waves!

Some tips i gathered from the MyJellyBean forums

• A zit remover
  what you will need : a mixing bowl a whisk and some cotton swabs or Q tips same thing lol
  Ingredients: 1 small packet Dry Yeast 8 OZ. spring water 1 lemon wedge
  
  pour the yeast packet into a bowl add water a few drops ata time whisking well after each water addition. keep adding water until the mixture turns into a meduim thick paste (usually about 2 Tablespoons of water) then squeeze a few drops of lemon juice into the mix and stir again then wash your face and pat dry with a towel then put the mixture on your breakouts with a Q tip then wash it off in the mornign and u can use this for your back and chest to and i keep mine in a air tight container and it last for about a week in there.

•  Put a layer of vaseline on any dry or hard skin on your feet, put socks on and sleep like that you'll wake up with nice 
• Here are four super easy masks for every skin type:
  
  * For normal to dry skin, mix together 2 to 3 teaspoons of bran, 1
  teaspoon of olive oil and 1 egg yolk.
  
  * For oily skin, mix together 1 egg yolk and a few drops of lemon juice.
  
  * For dry skin, mix together 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of honey
  and a few drops of strong chamomile tea (cooled).
  
  * For dehydrated skin, squeeze juice from half a cucumber and mix with 2
  teaspoons of cornstarch and 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  
  
  
  Facial Scrub (Good for blackheads)
  
  1 part baking soda
  1 part water
  
  Mix together into a paste. Gently scrub
  blackheads for 2 to 3 minutes. Rinse off.
  Use once or twice a week.
  
  Natural Scrub For Oily Skin
  
  1 part sea salt
  1 part lemon juice
  
  Mix into a paste and gently scrub face for
  1 to 2 minutes. Rinse off. Interestingly,
  you would think this would be very drying
  to your skin, but I've found it actually
  leaves your skin feeling clean, refreshed,
  and soft. Use once a week to remove
  dead skin cells.
  
  Toner (Problem Skin) - A few drops of tea
  tree oil & 1/4 cup distilled water. This is absolutely
  awesome in fighting nasty pimples! Mix the oil and
  water together and store in a sealed bottle.
  Shake well before using. Soak a cotton ball
  with the mixture and apply to just-cleaned skin.
  Use after washing skin.
  
  
  Good website-- http://possumsal.homestead.com/skincare.html
  
  Conditioner (Oily Hair) - 1 lemon & 1/4 cup
  cider vinegar. Wash, slice and de-seed lemon. Whir lemon in a
  blender to a smooth pulp. Filter through muslin. Mix with
  vinegar. After shampooing, blot hair with towel and rub
  mixture into scalp. Leave on 5 - 10 minutes, then rinse
  with cool water.
  feet lol.

How to get a healthy looking glow on your legs.

Okay, so, everyone wants a healthy looking legs, you know, smooth looking, golden, and all that good stuff. So i'm going to do the honor of telling you guys a good way to get that!

Step 1: It'd be good to have a good razor to shave with. A smaller one and a larger one.

Step 2: ALWAYS shave using shaving cream, it will make the WORLD of a difference! I would try to find one with vitamin E and that is used for moisturizing.

Step 3: Find a good body washer and exfoliator. i recommend Carees and the any DOVE, they work wonders!

Step 4: After your show it is IMPORTANT to put lotion on, everywhere. I recommend and found that Pink body lotion the super soft lotion gives you a creamy clean feeling.

and wahla! after one or two times of doing this you should begin to see the difference!

Enjoy your glow
Taylor.
