Four Ways to Keep Your Unique Sterling Silver Jewelry Safe
by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Womens Interest
We always hope to get a piece of jewelry which is both safe and secure while being free from rust and decay. Although our wish is genuine, it is seldom we get an item which is picture perfect. Jewelry is made of precious metals and is known to rust and decay. Nonetheless, humans have devised various methods by which these products can be provided a fresh lease of life. The story with Unique Sterling Silver Jewelry is somewhat similar. Let us take a closer look at the four different ways to keep your Unique Sterling Silver Jewelry safe and secure.
Always check your jewelry before making the final purchase
If you are out shopping for jewelry, say a sterling silver necklace, always ensure that you check your product before striking a final deal. This is essential because a necklace may be used and can cause problems. To check, you can simply place the necklace over the counter and see if it is clean or dirty. If it is sparkling, the chances of the necklace being brand new are bright, but if it is dirty, you might need to ask for a replacement. Likewise, if the connecting edges of a necklace are uneven, or they appear wavy, it is possible that the necklace has been used. So before buying a sterling silver necklace, make sure you give it a thorough inspection.
Keep it packed when not in use
Unique Sterling Silver Jewelry is sensitive to air. This doesn?t imply that you never wear it out in the open. The only concern here is overexposure. To avoid overexposure, just place it in a tarnish proof bag or an air tight container. Likewise, protect your Unique Sterling Silver Jewelry from substances like wood; chemicals like bleach and ammonia; drinks such as alcohol and pollutants such as fine dust and fumes. It is advisable that you keep your jewelry boxed when not in use.
Learn to clean your Unique Sterling Silver Jewelry on a periodical basis
Unique Sterling Silver Jewelry, like any other, is susceptible to dust, grime and dirt. Over a period of time, you would realize that your sparkling jewels have turned yellow. In order to avoid the usual dullness, you need to clean your sterling silver wares with a piece of clean cotton. If your jewelry has gotten too dirty, you need to use a cleaning cloth for the same. At times, you might need to use a liquid cleaner as well. In a nutshell, regular cleaning is a must for Unique Sterling Silver Jewelry.
Wear your jewelry with care
Jewelry is meant to be worn and is used liberally by both men and women alike to add glamour to any formal or informal occasion. Nonetheless, it has to be noted that the life of your Unique Sterling Silver Jewelry is directly proportional to how you use its. If you handle it with care and avoid dropping it on the ground or slipping it in alcohol, your precious necklace or elegant bracelet would live for years. At the same time, if you are casual, it would not be long before our Unique Sterling Silver Jewelry would become a thing of the past.
How to Choose Holiday Jewelry Pieces
by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Womens Interest
Any piece of jewelry would not just add a bit of sparkle to your outfit. It would also greatly complement your outfit and provide you a more flattering look. If you are one of those many women who are frequently invited to a variety of gatherings during the holiday seasons, using seasonal jewelry meant for the season would definitely add a unique spice to your outfit. Today, there are a number of jewelry shops in shopping malls and over the Internet that offer a wide variety of seasonal jewelry designs for every festive occasion. If you are looking to buy some seasonal jewelry, here are some tips that would be helpful.
What is your Style?
Are you a classy type of woman or someone who is not afraid to experiment on new things? Seasonal jewelry pieces come in a variety of shapes and designs meant to fit any personality. Some of these designs can be simple and would reflect mostly the various colors of the season through simple stone settings. Other seasonal jewelry pieces can be more iconic. If you are a classy woman looking for a Christmas seasonal jewelry for example, brooches and pendants in snowflake designs will definitely work well for you. On the other hand, if you are the type of woman who is willing to experiment on a variety of styles, you can look into acrylic and symbolic designs such as Christmas trees or snowmen.
Complement your Figure
Seasonal jewelry pieces come in a variety of sizes ranging from petite to plus size jewelry sizes. When choosing a piece of seasonal jewelry, make sure that the size is just right for your body frame. Avoid getting seasonal jewelry pieces that tend to be too big or too small. Small seasonal jewelry pieces might wind up being overpowered by your outfit, making them inconspicuous. On the other hand, extremely large jewelry pieces would tend to be too loud for a number of women. The best thing is to try out the seasonal jewelry piece that you are interested to get and see how it will look on you.
Look Around
Before heading out to buy your seasonal jewelry pieces, spend some time leafing through various fashion magazines to get the latest trends. Fashion magazines would feature complete outfits for a particular season, complete with accessories and seasonal jewelry pieces that would complement these outfits. There are also a number of websites that would provide you with information on the latest seasonal jewelry trends for a particular season. These would help you decide on what kind of piece of seasonal jewelry you are looking for.
When in Doubt, Ask
If you feel that you need a second opinion when deciding on what seasonal jewelry piece you would be getting, ask your jeweler for suggestions. They would be more than happy to provide you with a selection of seasonal jewelry pieces that would match your style and your budget. Try bringing a girl friend along to get an honest opinion whether the piece works well with you.

Difference between concealer, base, foundation, and powder?
by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
Answer :————————
Base is like a primer for your skin. It moisturises the skin, and prepares it for foundation, giving you better skin to work with. It also allows for better foundation blending, and sets the make-up so it lasts throughout the day.
Foundation is to even your skin tone and give your skin a really flawless finish. You match the colour to your skin tone, and use the foundation to cover loose pores and problem areas.
Concealer is used to hide and cover blemishes and imperfections, and to give your skin the illusion that it's flawless.
Powder sets the foundation and the concealer, and makes the skin matte. It also reduces oil and sebum production, and helps the make-up to last for longer.
Hope this helps! xoxo

by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
so i have to go by the saying "if i can tell you r wearing makeup then you have to much on" so can you give me some pics or anything really for cute makeup ideas that wont be too noticeable i looked on google but no luck i have really dark brown hair and eyes and i have tan skin oh and im 16 just fyi
Answer :————————
Since you are lucky enough to have naturally dark skin you can skip the foundation. Brush eyebrows with a brush. Wear a color like coppery brown just on the eye lid…not in crease or below eyebrow. Wear silky powder blush in nude rose on apple of cheeks only. Use a softsmudge brown eyeliner just along top lashline. Then apply high definition volume mascara in black on top lashes only. This is a great daytime look & makes face look fresh, natural, & understated. These colors are by Estee Lauder. You can use whatever cosmetics you have (in the right colors) to make this look for you!! Check out Estee Lauder.com & you can get more tips for classic looks, romantic, & dramatic looks. Hope this helps answer your questions. Good Luck.
