Ты мне друг или больше?

Вчера местные американские радиостанции объявили, что отец Линдзи Лохан подтвердил слухи о том, что DJ Саманта Ронсон и Линдзи - не просто друзья. Хотя слухи об "очень близкой" природе этих отношений уже давно не давали покоя вездесущим папарацци, мать и сестра Линдзи наотрез отрицали подозрения общественности. Папа Лохан не стал утруждаться и пояснил это тем, что "любой человек с мозгами разберется, что это не просто дружба". Кажется, папу такой поворот событий не беспокоит. Он мыслит резонно: Линдзи уже 21, она сама разберется, что делать. Дальнейших комментариев не последовало. Знаем только, что Саманта и Линдзи на данный момент живут вместе. Вот так...

Не доказательство, но факт: во время некой голливудской тусовки Линдзи шокировала публику раздраженной атакой в сторону одной из близнецов Ольсен, прокричавши: "Отойди от моей подруги" (естественно, речь шла о Саманте). Пресса разнесла инцидент по местным новостям, но спекулировать о возможных причинах такого поведения не стала. Да и правда: что тут скажешь?

Mode auf Kontaktlinsen: Gebrauch und Gegenanzeigen - Teil III

von OlgaInStyle

Bitte vergessen Sie nicht, dass der Gebrauch der Kontaktlinsen grosser Pflege bedarf. Dies bezieht sich nicht nur auf Ihre Linsen, sondern auch auf Ihre Augen.

Die Linsen muessen gesaeubert und nach Verfallsdatum nicht mehr verwendet werden. Ihre Augen mit Linsen brauchen waehrend des Tages spezielle Tropfen, um Trockenheitsgefuehl auszuschliessen. Wichtig ist es zu lernen, wie man die Linsen einsetzt und herausnimmt. Verwenden Sie keine geschaedigten Linsen, sonst koennen sie Ihre Augen reiben.

Sie duerfen nicht mit Linsen schlafen. Bevor Sie Linsen verwenden, waschen Sie Ihre Haende und trocknen Sie sie gut ab. Rauchen verringert das Verfallsdatum von Kontaktlinsen.

Gegenanzeigen fuer die Linsen koennen sein:
-Chronische Erkrankungen der Atemwege
-Augenentzuendungen (auch allergische)
-Erkaeltungserkrankungen

Das Make-up beeinflusst wesentlich das Wohbefinden Ihrer Augen mit Linsen. Beim Verwenden der Wimpertusche und Lidschatten achten Sie darauf, dass diese Kosmetik auch fuer Kontaktlinsen geeignet ist. Meiden Sie am besten die Wimpertusche, die Volumen und Laenge verspricht, denn sie enthaelt Fasern, die spaeter ins Auge geraten und eine Stoerung sein koennen. Verwenden Sie dabei nicht zu viel Make-up. Es wird empfohlen, Wimpertusche nur am Oberlid (und auf keinen Fall am Unterlid) zu verwenden. Entfernen Sie das Make-up, nachdem Sie die Linsen herausgenommen haben.

Wenn Sie Haarlack verwenden, ist er zu spruehen, bevor Ihre Linsen eingesetzt sind. Erst dann kommt das Make-up, so schmieren sie es nicht auf die Linse.

Wasserloesliche Kosmetik beschaedigt die Linsen nicht so, wie die oelhaltige.

Und wenn Sie immer noch am Zweifeln sind, wo Sie Ihre Linsen bestellen sollen, denken Sie an den allgemein bekannten Werbespot „ Da soll man zu Fielmann gehen“.

Professional Makeup: Popular Choices 2008

The 2008 is featuring colder colors and shades, such as blue, purple and pink. A careful review of the spring makeup collections from major world designers proved that these colors are present almost in everyone’s spring choice: Chanel, Givenchy, MAC, Anna Sui (more popular in Europe) and other makeup professionals agreed that blue and purple eye shadows and eye liners are the kings of the season. So, what should we do with such a selection? The answer is simple: go for it and create a bold and unique look similar to the one that Elizabeth Taylor immortalized in her famous character Cleopatra, the Queen of the Nile. In other words, use eye liners and blue eye shadows all you want. And if you are not a big fan of a brave makeup, use these colors for the so called ‘nude’ look, a natural look with a little bit of blue and pink carefully mixed together. It will give you some unbelievable freshness independent on your age. The most important thing to remember though is the fact that natural makeup looks best on well prepared skin, so do not abandon regular facials, creams and other skin care procedures. As a matter of fact, caffeine is one of the most popular skin care products’ ingredients in 2008. It helps refresh skin under eyes and eliminates lines, so you will probably find it in many skin care products this year.

Smart makeup tips:

If you are using blue, purple or pink colors for your eyes, stick with a neutral choice of lipstick, such as nude or pink with a little lip gloss on top.

To add a sparkle to your eye makeup use white pencil in the inner corners of your eyes. It will most likely become one of your favorite makeup tricks for a long time.

And finally, add some fantasy!
