Beauty Treatments That Are Expensive but Totally Worth It
There are many beauty treatments out there that are expensive and don’t seem to be worth it whatsoever. There’s no need to spend thousands of dollars on any beauty treatment that’s not going to effectively improve your skin or your well-being.

Dripping yourself in diamonds and other rare facial treatments may be just what you need to feel like a queen—pampered and refreshed!

Morgan E. WestlingPublished 6 years ago in BlushEyelash Extension FAQ and Aftercare
Lash extensions are a popular service that add length and thickness to your natural eyelashes by having a synthetic lash applied to each of your lashes individually. This takes the time that you would normally spend putting on mascara or false lashes out of your routine. They can look very natural or you can go full glam. Many lash growing serums can stain your skin or harm your natural lashes. If your natural lashes are compromised, the lash extensions won’t last as long.

There's this saying that goes: "a woman who cuts off/shaves off all her hair is about to do something to change her life." I've seen it spun 900 different ways. "Her life is changing," "get out of the way," "she can't be stopped," blah blah. There's something ahead, and the removal of all or most of her hair is the starting point. I get it—a woman's crowning glory is her hair. This has been especially true as a Black woman. We go into battle over our hair, choosing sides and fighting over what's best. We fight society about what's professional and what's "ghetto." We fight ourselves, trying to find out what's right for our own souls and happiness. I went from my natural baby hair to my unruly kiddie hair (that was eventually relaxed), and my teen years full of either getting it done or doing whatever in-between. I decided, as an adult, to go natural.

Karen GosalPublished 6 years ago in BlushHow to Make a Powdered Eyeshadow Stick
Eye makeup can be the biggest hassle. With having to clean eyeshadow brushes, falling glitter, and other hazards of the powder eyeshadow, it’s no wonder so many people are turning to eyeshadow sticks instead. It should be no surprise, though, that these can be expensive, and many makeup lovers are loathe to throw out their old powder eyeshadows, even once they’re broken up or never used. Luckily, it’s actually incredibly easy to create your own powder stick out of whatever eyeshadow you like, creating the perfect eyeshadows for your eye color by your own means. This not only gives you an eyeshadow that stays on better and is easier to apply, it also gives you the opportunity to perfect your color preferences, and to make a product that’s easy to use on the go—something that eyeshadow powder in its compact form is definitely not.
Nicola P. YoungPublished 6 years ago in BlushWant New Hair? Here's How
Don't we all need a new hair color from time to time? I think yes. Usually, we stay in the realm of natural hair colors or stay with our original natural color, meaning the hair color that we are born with. Sometimes, over time, our hair color likes to change and become darker or even lighter, and as always, get grey. So to avoid this from happening, there are ways to dye your hair without the damage. Here are some tips and explanations on how you can have an amazing color that you pick and are happy with.
