Does “every dollar counts” sound familiar?! Well, it works pretty much the same with calories and extra pounds! Think about it: when you save $300 dollars a month, you would have $3,600 dollars a year. That’s a lot of money that could help you pay off that credit card with your holyday shopping or buy you a nice vacation somewhere in the world, right?! But what if you are trying to drop some pounds and loose weight? What does that have to do with saving money?! It has everything to do with SAVING. When you “save” on calories it makes it easier to drop that weight! You don’t have to announce you just started a new diet, or change your entire eating skills or habits – it’s a simple math: by ‘saving’ 300 calories a day, for example, you would deduct about 9,000 calories and drop about 2-3 pounds a month. (that is of course if you keep a normal diet routine and have a stable weight). So what are you waiting for?! Simply skip that fatty chips or pass those calories loaded chocolate bars and start loosing weight today!

According to the little Black Book of Hollywood Beauty Secrets, Cameron Diaz uses her lipstick make up as a blusher, especially for the on-the-go touch-ups. The beauty benefits you get from wearing lipstick as blush:

1. Gives your cheeks a youthful, healthy looking glow.

2. The color coordinates your cheeks with your lips, which create high fashion photography look.

3. Matching cheeks and lips can set off other features such as long, dark, thick lashes, or great bone structure.   

In order to make sure her entire make up applications such as eye-shadows and blush is applied smoothly Cameron Diaz uses the Sonya Dakar Hydra-soft lotion, which is a great oil free moisturizer. More to that, her basic foundation smooth and clear skin maker which is the Sun-forgettable 30SPF mineral powder, helps smooth and clear skin. It is one of Diaz`s favorite duel cosmetic application: an amazing mineral facial healthy foundation make up application plus an anti wrinkles protector at the same time, thanks to its 30 SPF powers, against the aging UV rays! Two birds in one stone… mmm.. not bad!

If you ever wondered what is the most versatile shade that can be bright, playful, sultry and subtle then the answer is: Purple!  Experts say soft shades like lilac and violet are an easy way to add some pleasing color to your eye lid or when used as liner, especially if you’ve been wearing lots of neutral shades. Purple eye shadow makes green eyes pop, brown eyes brighter, and gives blue eyes a cool iciness. It is the latest hue to make an impact on the trend list. Top makeup stylists suggest that the most flattering purple is bluish lavender and that Fuchsia is the least flattering one. Always combine purples with other neutrals (golds, tans, taupes, browns) to avoid overkill.
