Trend alert: Tangerine lips.
1. Consider your skin colour
Be sure to select a shade that compliments your skin complexion. If you are a fair-skinned beauty you can get away with bolder shades with yellow-ish and peachy undertones. Dark skinned beauties on the other hand should opt for lipsticks with a deep red or brown base.

If you are feeling really brave opt for the matte experience. If you are not ready for such experiments yet - opt for a lip gloss! This will give you a more fresh natural tint.

Most importantly; have fun!

Is Co-washing the new method of washing Hair?
Co-washing is washing and cleansing the hair without using shampoo and only using conditioner. This is a great way of keeping the hair moisturized, soft and manageable. Many women have had a lot of success using this procedure, especially those with afro textured hair which tends to be dryer than other hair types.
Co-washing has been raved about in the hair community. Many women comment on its benefits of cleaning the scalp well (which helps the hair to grow) and hair becoming more moisturized and soft, which leads to less breakage and consequently helps the hair to grow faster.
Personally, I Co-wash my hair once a week but this varies depending on individual preferences; some people Co-wash twice a week, every other day or even every day.
Everyone has their own way of co-washing. I divide my hair into four sections then I pour water over my hair and apply my conditioner in sections. I coat the conditioner on my scalp and to the ends of my hair, and massage the conditioner into my scalp and detangle my hair with my fingers. I rinse it out after about 10-15mins.
I use various conditioners when I Co-wash . Favourites tend to be: Suave, Aphogee Moisture Balance, Tresemme Naturals, Milcreek conditioner, VO5 as they give me moisture. I also favour Herbal Essences, Nutrine Garlic conditioner, Jason’s Biotin Conditioner and Organics Root Stimulator Hair Mayonnaise which is a Light Protein conditioner and can be used as a Deep conditioning treatment. The more pricey conditioners are Nexxus, Humectress, Keracare, Humecto and Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner.
