KEEP LISTICK FROM FADING AND BLEEDING by covering your mouth with either a clear pencil or one that matches your natural lip shade before applying your fave shade of lippie.

HOW COOL IS THIS TOUSLED BOB... Cookie mag says this jaw-skimming cut flatters practically every hair texture and face shape. The key to looking cool (as opposed to conservative) is asking for a blunt, inverted bob—which is shorter in back—and side-swept bangs. For this mussed-up look, mist the roots with sea-salt spray to create volume and work in a bit of pomade to make your hair look piece-y. Blow-dry with your head upside down, or just air-dry.

I LOVE JAN -UARY JONES IN MAD MEN - and I love her hair - esp -ecially styled like this! InStyle mag says her piecey bob is just short enough to have tons of body—without taking tons of time. They suggest you add hold by working a dab of curl cream into damp hair, and then, scrunching strands in small handfuls, dry with a diffuser. A drop of silicone-based shine serum will tame any pesky flyaways.
MASSAGING YOUR FACE is a great way to loosen muscles scrunched into habitual expressions. It also brings blood to the surface, clears out puffiness, and reduces fatigue in the skin. Apply a face serum and starting at the chin, move your hands in small circles and continue to the cheeks, around the eyes, and to the forehead. By doing this, you're stimulating circulation and bringing more nutrients to the skin. Follow with a warm compress to increase the absorption of the serum.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT CROSSING YOUR LEGS?... Yes, you can cross your legs, says Allure magazine, but do so at the ankles, instead of the knees, to help prevent spider veins. Although multiple factors contribute to the veins, increased pressure from crossing your legs can lead to more. So if you notice them, try not to cross your legs.

BEAUTY TIP OF THE MONTH from allure... To get maximum protection from free-radical damage, use two different antioxidants, either on alternating nights or one in the morning and one in the evening.
WASHING YOUR FACE BEFORE BED may seem like a boring chore, but letting skin marinate in makeup (and a day's worth of oil buildup) can lead to clogged pores and zits. "Your body temperature increases slightly when you sleep, which can enhance absorption of whatever's on the surface," says Allure's skincare expert. "So you really want only beneficial ingredients on your face when you sleep." Ideally, that means anti-aging retinol, as well as hydrating ingredients like glycerin. If you're too wiped to wash, swipe your face with a premoistened cleansing cloth designed to take off makeup and dirt.
