PRONOVIAS GLAMOUR 2013 BRIDAL COLLECTION

The Pronovias Glamour Bridal Collection for 2013 is probably one of the most extensive bridal collections out there. There are some special dresses like a halter-neck dress and a high-neck dress but the vast majority are the strapless bustier gowns. 

 This is without a doubt the most popular wedding dress style nowadays and Pronovias understands this very well. If you want to tie the knot in this style then look no further, Pronovias definitely has the right dress for you! Of course there are a couple of one-shoulder looks and even dresses with shoulder straps, but with this collection Pronovias has really focused on the strapless bustier gown and so will we. 

 The skirts are versatile with ruffles, layers, plain taffeta or lace appliqué. The most popular style for the skirts of these strapless bustier gowns seems to be the normal A-line skirt. However, if you want to show off your curves, there are a few mermaid dresses to be found in this collection as well.

 When it comes to the bustier tops, some of the dresses have embellishments around the waist or right under the bust. Both locations have the same purpose: drawing the attention to the narrowest part of your body—your waist.

 Other dresses feature some embellishments towards the left or right side of the waist in the shape of some flowers. The goal is essentially the same: Show off your hourglass shape. Exactly how tiny your waist is, is even further emphasized by the big A-line skirts. After all, nothing shows off a tiny waist like a big puffy skirt.

  It’s all in the juxtaposition! Two of the strapless bustier dresses have a dropped waist, accentuated by either some rhinestones on the side for an asymmetric look or a horizontal embellishment with both ruffles and rhinestones. Most dresses have a small train of no more than half a meter, but some of them take it one step further and sport a respectable train of around one meter. Perfect for a bride who loves a dramatic look!

PARTY EYE MAKEUP

As women go deeper into each trend, they learn much about elegance and how to show a feminine look during special occasions and celebrations. The best way to do that is by trying new make-up ideas as a matter of style and an affordable change in the whole appearance through simple steps. 

Eyelash extensions have become a lovely trend that women andyoung  ladies yearn to wear. They allow you to obtain a super feminine look with the simplest eye shadow lines and you can also stick crystal accessories on them. Eyelash extensions come in many colours  basically brown and black. 

They give you the festive looks needed for Christmas and New Year’s Eve, and they suit all costumes and evening dresses.Another trend has appeared to create fabulous eye make-up designs: eye beads and crystal accessories. Eye beads come as tiny coloured pearls and crystals which you stick around your eye or on your eyelashes to get beautiful artwork. 

Such beads can be used with or without long eyelashes, eye make-up  and eye shadow drawings due to the feminine look they give. Some people use liquid eye glitter or common glitter which they stick around the eyes in artistic patterns. 

The same 3 ideas can be done on any part of your body, but are mostly done on the neck and face to complete the look with the eye make-up.

THE SECRET OF INGREDIENTS IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS

When using cosmetics we trust that they will improve the health of our skin and make us look more beautiful. However, it turns out that sometimes cosmetics may contain harmful or hazardous substances. The worst part is that not all of them are listed on the label, which includes only the basic ingredients.

Alcohol is not right for everyone

Lotions containing alcohol can safely be recommended to anyone with oily skin prone to inflammation, since alcohol has drying and disinfecting properties. Yet the amount of alcohol in such products should not exceed 15-17%. If your skin is dry, you should avoid using alcohol-containing cosmetics. Otherwise your skin will start flaking and will feel tight and stretched on your face. Forget about alcohol lotions in the winter when the skin is subject to so many unpleasant influences – cold weather, sudden changes in temperature, dry air, etc.

Paraffin aids the formation of blackheads

Paraffin is often an ingredient in anti-aging cosmetics. However, it is not recommended for problem skin – oily or mixed type. It creates a thin coat over the skin which prevents the disposal of toxins through the pores and hinders the access of oxygen. As a result, the skin loses its smoothness and elasticity. Paraffin, however is irreplaceable when it comes to softening the hands. It has a warming effect and speeds metabolism.

Mineral oils clog the pores

This is why they can cause inflammations and allergic reactions. The film that they create over the epidermis protects it from dehydration but it also prevents additional moisturizing. Besides, mineral substances are harder to absorb and hinder the cellular exchange processes. Also, let’s not forget that paraffin and mineral oils are derivatives of petrol.

Glycerin dehydrates

In days past glycerin was considered an excellent moisturizer. It is now known that in large amounts it can be harmful, especially to dry skin, because it draws moisture from the deeper layers of the skin. If you have a need for moisturizing, be very careful what amounts of glycerin are contained in the product you are planning to use. Forget about glycerin soap which was so popular at one time. Using body gel or liquid soap is way pleasanter and better for the skin.

Natural plant extracts may cause 

allergic reactions

This is especially true for people who have a previous history of allergies. If your skin reddens and feels hot when you are picking chamomile from the garden, you should be very careful when using cosmetics containing chamomile extract. You should also avoid shampoos and lotions mentioning chamomile among their ingredients. When you suspect an allergic reaction, immediately seek medical help.

Retinoid have side-effects

Retinoid are derivatives of vitamin A. They are among the most effectual cosmetic ingredients not only because vitamin A is one of the chief anti-oxidants, but also because they are great for treating acne. However, if they are to do the work properly, they need consistency – retinoid lotion should be used daily for at least a year before any noticeable effects take place. Retinol also has some widely known side-effects and contraindications. It should not be used during pregnancy, when taking medication containing tetracycline, on hyper-sensitive skin or on wounds and mechanically damaged areas. The side-effects mostly include dryness, flaking, irritation and itchiness. Dermatologists are of the opinion that retinol should be limited or completely avoided during the summer because it heightens the skin’s sensitivity to the ultraviolet rays of the sun and increases the risk of skin cancer.

Glycolic acids can form red spots

These acids are often used in beauty salons especially in procedures such as oxygen peeling, which are painless and efficient. They are recommended for acne, rashes, age spots and pigmentation irregularities. However, these acids have certain contraindications – pregnancy, nursing, advanced herpes, colds, wounds and scratches. Besides, if the peeling is not professionally done, hard to treat, strong, red spots may appear on the skin.
