Create The Perfect Pout with Overlined Lips

Published on by Lee2 Comments

In the quest for flawless beauty, nothing screams confidence like a perfectly plump lip. It’s that little touch that can instantly take your everyday look from drab to fab. Now, while some may opt for more invasive measures, like fillers, to achieve those enviable lips, there’s a simpler solution right at your fingertips: makeup. With just a few strokes of a lip pencil, you too can unlock the secrets of a luscious pout. The magic lies in the art of overlining, a technique that can dramatically transform your look. But hold on tight before you dive into a whirlwind of lip pencils and glosses. There are some crucial tips and tricks you mustn’t overlook if you want to rock that envy-inducing look.

Choosing the right lip pencil is essential. Always try to match as close as possible to your lipstick shade when opting for a bold hue such as red. As for neutrals, the rule is to never go more than 3 shades deeper. And remember quality matters. Investing in a reliable, long-lasting formula will ensure your masterpiece stays intact throughout the day. Today our weapon of choice is NOVABEAUTY 2 in 1 Snatched Lip Liner – Brown 02.

Technique matters just as much as the tools. When it comes to overlining, precision is your ally. Start by ensuring your lip liner is sharp to allow for precise application. Here’s where having a sharpener on hand is essential. Now, it’s time for action. Start from the center of your cupid’s bow and carefully trace along the natural lip line, gradually working your way outwards. This method will lend your lips that extra oomph without going overboard. From there, use a lip brush and blend the liner inwards, keeping the outer edge visible. At last, your lips are full and primed for your lipstick color of choice.

Rockstar Inspired, Slept in Makeup Will Be Huge This Fall

Published on by Lee2 Comments

Embrace the allure of the day-after makeup look that has taken the beauty world by storm. We’ve all experienced those mornings after a late night when washing our face and performing a full skincare routine feels like an impossible task. But fear not, because the slept-in makeup trend is here to save the day – and no, you don’t have to sleep in your makeup to achieve it. Drawing inspiration from the rockstar lifestyle and its effortlessly cool appeal, this trend celebrates a grungy, non-perfect aesthetic that exudes an air of romanticized rebellion.

This trend is not about precision at all, making this look great for last-minute rendezvous and busy nights. The main emphasis is on the eyes. We recommend starting with Maven Basic Beat Cream Eyeshadow Baseto lock everything into place. No touch-ups are needed. Your eye makeup can be as simple as blending a warm neutralcolor all over the lids. Feel free to use your fingertips because this trend glorifies an undone application. 

From there, the look comes down to the eyeliner itself. Be sure to opt for a pencil liner, rather than a liquid because you want to be able to blend it out. While NOVABEAUTY Gel*ous Long Wear Waterproof Eyeliner always does the trick, you can swap for a metallic-based liner for added dimension. Apply this on the top and bottom of your eyes – and consider lining the waterline for a more intense look. Next, blend the eyeliner with a Q-tip or a smudge brush for a soft smokey eye effect. Once complete, curl your eyelashes and add some mascara to achieve va-va-voom lashes. And there, you’re ready for a night out on town.

“I Lost My Orgasm. HOW DO I GET IT BACK?”

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

Hello again, dear friend Anonymous.

Welcome back to our sex talk column where readers submit questions, and we answer them with the help of an expert. The topic of our latest submission: lost orgasms.

Ever gone through a time where, no matter what you do, you just can’t climax? Like, even the things that normally get you off just…don’t send you over the edge?

We tapped global sexologist and mentor Juliette Allen to share tips on how to find your O again.

1. IS IT COMMON TO GO THROUGH PERIODS WHERE YOU CAN’T REACH ORGASM?

“Yes, it’s very common. We all go through ups and downs in life, and these different seasons in life can have a huge impact on our orgasmic potential. It’s normal for these periods to happen in life. Don’t stress too much, as that will only make the situation worse.”

2. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?

“Some of the common life changes that impact orgasm are increased stress, job change, breakup, pregnancy, parenting, any kind of trauma, sickness, disease, death of a loved one—the list goes on. As life ebbs and flows, so does the orgasmic energy in our body, not to mention our libido.

“The state of a relationship also has a huge impact on orgasm—lack of communication, verbal and physical abuse, manipulative behavior, stress, mismatched libido, parenting together. If our relationship isn’t thriving as a whole, our ability to orgasm can plummet. It’s like our body intentionally decommissions our libido and ability to enjoy pleasure when our energy is taken up trying to fix or process relationship challenges.”

3. CAN YOU SHARE SOME ADVICE?

“First, take time to look at your stress levels, and then take positive steps toward more ease and rest in everyday life. Take a good hard look at your romantic relationship and make the necessary changes to initiate more harmony and love. And then lastly, be kind and patient with yourself. Your ability to orgasm WILL return, I promise! It just may take some time and acceptance of where you’re at right now in life.

F*CK, MARRY, KILL: Enneagram, Myers–Briggs, Astrology

Hello, and welcome to our new series where we play F*ck, Marry, Kill with different aspects of wellness. For our inaugural game, we’re pitting popular introspection tools against each other.

So without further ado … FMK: Enneagram, Myers–Briggs, astrology?

Our thoughts are below.

F*ck: Astrology

Unstable but sexy. Has a major attitude every time Mercury goes retrograde, and the new moon is either super passionate or super moody. Plus, ugh—water signs, amirite?

Marry: Enneagram

Big Aiden Shaw energy. Can’t explain it. Enneagram just gives stable and reliable vibes (but in a “still knows how to have fun” kind of way).

Kill: Myers–Briggs

You’re tacky and I hate you. 

JK … sort of. Who has the time to answer all of those questions? Also, we’re all out here spelling “Sagittarius” on the first try, but we’ll never remember if it’s “Myers” or “Meyers”.

Agree? Disagree? Let us know on IG or TikTok.
