Read this article and you’ll find them!

What is there in common among women like Catherine Zeta-Jones, Courtney Cox, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, and Cindy Crawford?
Other than being the prettiest women who shine on screen and red carpets, they also use products to take care of their skin and hair, and
you know what? You can find them in your nearest supermarket!

In spite of their wealth, our celebrities choose natural products because they protect them the most as well as having some healthy habits
to improve their life quality –and these are products and habits we can try too. Maybe you are tired of reading the same natural tricks and
advices about beauty, like:

• ·    

Drink lots of water (ok, it’s hard to start, but when you’re in, you can realize how healthy you feel)

• ·    

Eat salads and fruits (it’s reasonable, it’s better to eat them than putting them all over your face)

• ·    

Sleep at least 8 hours a day (everybody needs to relax after a long day work, even you!)

• ·    

Don’t forget to take off your make up before you go to bed. It doesn’t matter how tired you feel, it’s a must. No doubt.

But if you really want to look pretty, FEBstore will reveal some tricks that our favorite celebrities have. Even if they don’t seem to be
“nice”, you just have to see those pretty women and think: “hey! It can be possible”.

First, we have Catherine Zeta-Jones who uses olive oil to moisturize and avoid split ends to keep healthy her long and dark
hair. Is it so simple? It could be, olive oil has ingredients to nourish, strengthenth, and condition your hair.

Courtney Cox, our dear “Monica” in Friends, uses vegetables and fruits to help her skin look smooth and fresh. She
drinks squeezed cherry juice to keep herself young and beautiful. Cherries smooth skin texture and avoid its wear & tear.

Jennifer Love-Hewitt, 28 years old, is not worried about wrinkles or lines, BUT she has to deal with acne. So every night
before sleeping, she puts a dab of toothpaste over her pimples and spots to dry and heal them.

Finally, Cindy Crawford uses a simple mix to moisturize her skin. And you can get it from your fridge! She prefers to use
homemade creams instead of those made in labs, so she mixes mineral water and milk in an atomizer to keep her face skin moisturized and
smooth.  

All these tricks are amazing, aren’t they? You asked for them, and FEBstore delivered!

And you know what? It’s time for you to steal them all!

Next week FEBstore will give some more revealing tips to keep you updated about the latest beauty secrets our celebrities hide…. don’t miss
them!

Today FEBstore.com has more beauty secrets to share with you. You will be amazed! Last week we were talking about our celebrity beauty tips. Most of them use products you can find at home, which is really helpful for us. We usually have many things to do at home and we think: Oh God, I wish I had someone who can clean up this mess. But NO, do it by yourself! If you don’t have time to do Pilates or any other  training activities as your favorite stars, do your own house chores, just like Diana Ross, who said: “Cleaning is a tremendous stress reliever and keeps my body taut“. So, it’s not just about your body, it’s about your mind too.

Don’t forget to drink water while you’re doing your house chores. A good advice for having a healthy body is drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. This is so not easy for every one of us because tap water doesn’t have a good taste. At this point we can check what Daisy Fuentes does. She drinks one liter of chamomile tea and one liter of water, daily. Chamomile is also good for having a good sleep; you can drink your last glass just before bed.

If you have some extra time, you can try what Donna Karan does for a quick slim down: she blends cabbage, apple, parsley, carrots, and celery in a juicer, and drinks it for a day or two. This is a healthy mix, fruits and vegetables always work for our body and health.

Is there some other trick? Yes, we have one more. Some people say it is hard to lose weight in winter or autumn because most of the people drink hot beverage and eat hot meals. We totally agree. You should know how beautiful Giselle Bundchen looks over catwalks. We can try one her beauty tricks: Pour hot stuff on your food for a natural thermogenic burn. Everything is not about cold salads!

Now you know that expensive gyms or difficult diets are not the only solution to be in shape. You don’t have to be a desperate housewife either. Enjoy your home and keep healthy, just like our celebrities do!

Have a great week!

Many models spend so long worrying about their makeup that they forget that presentation is one of the most important aspects of beauty. You don’t always have to be the most beautiful girl in the crowd, but if you carry yourself well and dress to suit your body type chances are you’ll be the one that everyone notices.Clothing and posture are two more ways in which you can make the most of what you have. Take a good look at the actresses in the entertainment pages of your magazines. Not all of them are classically beautiful, but they all have a presence about them, a quality that comes from the way they dress and the way they hold themselves tall, upright and elegant.

Dress for your Body TypeHere’s a list of typical body complaints, together with the clothing tips that can hide them from view. Sometimes you should make the most of your assets and sometimes you should hide them away, but you should always have the confidence to step outside and feel beautiful!Larger BodiesAlways bet on black. Darker clothing reduces the appearance of folds and bumps in the fabric, and has a wonderfully slimming effect on your body. Those of you with larger physiques should avoid tight clothing and definitely steer clear of loud prints.Try to always wear properly fitted clothing.

Loose, baggy tops and pants just draw attention to your worst angles. Wear fitted shirts with vertical stripes to show off your curves the right way!Small BustA padded bra is not the only way to give yourself a fuller bust. Try
wearing fitted shirts with features like pockets or other details at the bustline. Make sure the neckline is not too low though. Another good tip? Layer up. By wearing a tanktop under your shirt you will make your bust appear much fuller.Large BustAgain, your bra is very important. By wearing one that is too small you bring attention to your large breasts rather than making them appear smaller.

As for clothing steer clear of tight-fitting tops and shirts with loud prints. Longer sleeves and a high neckline will take attention away from your chest and on to your arms and face.Large HipsIf you’re a little wide around the middle then don’t worry because there are plenty of things you can do too. Wearing tight fitting trousers will only accentuate the difference in width between your hips and your legs, so use a bootcut leg that drops straight down from your hips.Buy pants without pockets or details around the hipline. Pleats are your absolute worst enemy. As for colors make sure never to buy patterns – instead stick to dark, solid colors on the bottom with perhaps some lighter colors.

Short BodiesA short shirt can make your legs appear longer while wearing similar colors across your outfit will eliminate the color boundaries that can make you appear shorter. Avoid overly detailed patterns and be sure to buy well fitted clothes. If you’re drowning in your outfit it just makes you look smaller.Tall BodiesExactly opposite to shorter women! If you’re tall then you should use horizontal stripes, plus sharp color boundaries between your top and bottom to make you appear more petite. Long shirts and knee-high boots will shrink your legs too.Improve your PosturePosture is something we don’t really think about that much, but subconsciously we judge others on how they carry themselves.

A person who carries themselves tall and confident commands so much more attention and respect – just look at the elegant posture of your favorite celebrities.Slouching does not just just affect the impression that others have of you though, it can also have an impact on your health. Many back problems source from your back, and often this is the trigger for finally sorting out posture problems. Now is your chance to prevent those problems before they even start!Practicing Yoga and Pilates will create a self awareness of your posture – you will actually feel yourself standing upright more and it will help you to develop flexibility and a strong core.

There are also many posture belts and underwear devices that can help, if you find it difficult to fit Yoga into your schedule.Outside of the gym classes make sure you have a good chair at home and at work. Slouching is your worst enemy. Also, when you sit down be sure to always plant your butt right in the back of the chair. This simple action forces you to sit elegantly and is a great tip for interviews too!So stand tall, it’s an instant beauty tip!

Dull hair lacks shine and looks limp. We all try to avoid ending up with dull hair but sometimes the things we do in an attempt to prevent it, actually cause it. In healthy hair the outer layer of the hair strand, made up of cuticles, lies flat and so reflects the light making hair shine. However, if the cuticles are damaged the hair becomes rough and damaged and no longer reflects the light making it dull. Dull hair can also occur when there is a lack of oil content on the scalp.

Causes of dull hair:

• Illness, such as flu, releases toxins from the body through sebaceous glands in the scalp coating the hair.
• Excessive brushing
• The conditioning agent in “2 in 1” products.
• Environmental assaults
• Harsh chemicals:

• Chlorine in tap water and pools.
• Colour developer Perm chemicals (neutralizer)
• Peroxide bleach
• Relaxer chemicals
• Styling product build-up and leave-in products.

Cure for dull hair:

• Eating a balanced diet; protein, iron and Vitamin C are essential for shine
• Keeping hair clean is vital
• Use products containing Vitamins C and E with a superior conditioning agent. This helps to:

– Stop oxidation of harsh chemicals. – Remove minerals that weight down hair. – Remove styling products that weigh down hair – Replenish moisture to increase shine – Rebuild hair proteins for strength and volume – Provide an antioxidant barrier against further oxidation from the environment and chemicals.Chemical oxidisers chip away at the cuticle scales on the outside of each hair shaft. Once the protective cuticles have broken away the inner, more fragile layers of the hair shaft are exposed and the hair becomes damaged and cannot return to its original state. The chemicals used in perming, relaxing and colouring solutions have to be able to reach the inner cortex of the hair shaft
so that they can react with the keratin inside.

To get inside the hair they have to get through the protective layer of cuticles, and to do this hair is heated or an alkaline solution applied which separates the cuticles slightly. After the process the cuticles return to their original position but if these processes are done to often the cuticles can’t return to their normal position so hair becomes rough and damaged and takes on a dull appearance.

Mistake No. 8: Using pencil on your eyebrows “A penciled eyebrow looks painted and weird (hello Joan Crawford),”
Patel says. Nevertheless, many women still go this route to fill in brows. A better option: “Choose an eye shadow color that matches your hair color and apply with a thin, stiff, angled brush using tiny strokes,” Patel says. We confess: “I used to use pencil to fill in my brows and I recently switched to a waxy powder,” says Meghan. “I can’t tell you the difference it makes! With the pencil, you could totally tell that I did some fill-in work. This waxy powder is so much easier to use, easier to fix if I mess up, and looks way more natural.”

Mistake No. 9: Wearing black eyeliner in the daytime “Here is a general rule: dark colors shrink and recede,” Patel says. “Light colors advance and bring forward.” That’s why she recommends skipping black eyeliner (especially underneath eyes) during the day, so your eyes look more open and awake. We confess: “Yikes, I do this almost every day,” says Sarah. “I do like how the liner defines my eyes. I think I look tired without some liner on. But I will admit that black can be a bit harsh for daytime, so maybe a switch to brown liner is in order. Same effect without the goth undertones.”

Mistake No. 10: Wearing glitter“The thing that bothers me the most about glitter in makeup, besides the fact that it
shouldn’t be worn by anyone over the age of 14 (fabulous club kids get an exception here), is that it travels on your face, leaving strange sparkly spots where they shouldn’t be,” Patel says. Instead of chunky glitter, she recommends shadows with finely milled shimmer — used sparingly, of course. We confess: “I got super into glitter in junior high when I discovered Tony & Tina, this fabulous line that specialized in glitter-packed makeup,” says assistant editor Sharon. “While their products were amazing (sadly discontinued), I unfortunately used glitter on more than one area at a time. So … glittery eye shadow, glittery eyeliner, sparkly blush, and glitter-infused lip gloss. Yowza. In hindsight I probably looked like I got into a fight with a tub of glitter — and lost.”

Mistake No. 11: Going nuts with “luminizing” products“Luminous particles have been added to everything in the past few years, most notably foundations, powders, and highlighting products,” Patel says. “One or two such products can make a woman look fresh and glowing. Too many can make her look very, very strange.” Think glowing head on a matte body, or like you spent your morning leaning over an oil vat — not exactly sexy. Patel suggests limiting your illuminating products to these areas: cheekbones, inner eye corners, and (if used sparingly) under the eye. We confess: “I had this great Stila luminizing powder — I wore it everywhere, every day,” says Beth. “It was part of my uniform. Then I caught my reflection in really strong daylight one time, and I realized how it was highlighting every bump, scar, and
wrinkle on my face. From then on, it was a nighttime thing only — and even then, only when I was going to a darkly lit place.”

12 Things your Nail Salon doesn’t want you to Know Part 3

When you
shave matters
You shouldn’t shave before getting a pedicure, says Choi, as pedicurists do not care if you have hair on your legs. Also, shaving your legs
makes you more prone to infection as newly shaved legs have opened pores (and often tiny nicks you can’t see) that are susceptible to
infectious diseases. So don’t be wary of showing off some stubble at the salon, she says. 

Some tools can’t be sanitized 
You can only put metal tools in the autoclave, says Choi. And as we stated before, only an autoclave kills a 100 percent of all bacteria
and viruses. Nail salon tools like pumice stones, emery boards, nail buffers and foam toe separators need to be swapped out after each use
to prevent the spread of bacteria. That’s why you’re best off bringingyour own — just in case the salon doesn’t follow this practice. If
you see any white residue on a nail file, it means it’s been used on someone else.

Footbaths aren’t your friend
"Whirlpool footbaths," though seemingly safe, are filled with city water, which may or may not be free of microbes, says the
doctor and are typically difficult to clean. Even though most nail salons disinfect their tubs, researchers for the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention typically find bacteria that could cause boils and rashes in most according to the "New York Times." And
it’s extremely hard to bust these salons with having microbe growth, as many times salons aren’t linked to the infections because boils can
take as long as four months after a pedicure to develop.

You don’t need your calluses removed
Many salons will try and talk you into callous removal, as it is usually an additional service and charge. But Skyy Hadley, celebrity
manicurist and owner of the As "U" Wish Nail Spa, says it is not always necessary. "If you’re an athlete then you should
never remove your calluses as these actually help level your performance. If you are not an athlete, you should have your calluses removed
with a deep soak and scrub once they become thick and uncomfortable," she says.

If you do opt for callous removal, always choose scrubbing or a chemical remover. Never allow your nail technician to cut or shave the skin
off your feet. "Cutting is cutting," and "not recommended," says Choi. Not to mention, the more you cut, the thicker the
calluses will grow back, she advises. 

Your nails create big beauty salon business. Spending anywhere from $10 – $45 a pop for a manicure and $15 – $50 for a pedicure (not including tip), your weekly or monthly salon visits are costing you precious pampering dollars. No wonder it’s a six billion dollar a year industry.

Skip to see the 11 things your nail salon doesn’t want you to know now.  As you can imagine, the money you spend on these little luxuries is very important to the salon industry, meaning they will do whatever it takes to keep you coming back for more. While sometimes “whatever it takes” is going above and beyond excellent service, cleanliness and technique, it can also mean cutting corners and deceiving the salon layman in order to keep costs down and business booming.

And not to totally scare you, but what’s supposed to be a luxurious treat, can sometimes turn into your worst nightmare — think skin eating diseases and infections. While yes, millions of women get manicures each year and don’t experience any serious or life-threatening side effects, you’d be naive to believe that it could never happen to you. Nail salons that have been insufficiently cleaned or performed bad sanitization practices, as well as ones with inadequately trained nail technicians, could be a breeding ground for bacteria and a dangerous place for you to “unwind.”

This is why we went straight to the pros who know — nail technicians and a podiatrist in order to uncover the secrets nail salons don’t want you to know. Read on to learn how to save money at the salon, your nails and possibly your life.
You are always at riskPodiatrist Dr. Robert Spalding, author of “Death by Pedicure,” states that “at this time, an estimated one million unsuspecting clients walk out of their chosen salon with infections — bacterial, viral and fungal.” And no matter which salon you go to, there is always a risk of infection.

He claims that in his research “75 percent of salons in the United States are not following their own state protocols for disinfections,” which includes not mixing their disinfectant solutions properly on a daily basis, not soaking their instruments appropriately, and using counterfeit products to reduce costs (for example Windex substituted for Barbicide), says the doctor. And the problem is that there is no way to really “verify an instrument has been properly
soaked and sterilized,” without watching the process.

They don’t turn customers awayLike most businesses, most nail salons won’t turn away paying customers, which means that people who are sick, have nail infections or foot fungus are being worked on next to you instead of being referred to an appropriate medical professional. Dr. Spalding says that the greatest danger of the nail salon is “The transmission of infection from one client to another.” And with “millions of people whose immune systems are compromised by diabetes, HIV, cancer, hepatitis and other infective organisms” booking services offered in nail salons, many are dangerously susceptible to infection, warns the doctor.

They swap and dilute bottlesIn her long history as a nail technician, celebrity manicurist Jin Soon Choi, owner of Jin Soon Natural Hand and Foot Spas in New York City, says she has heard of many salons filling expensive lotion bottles with a cheap generic lotion. That way the salons can charge you more for the manicure by claiming to use prestige products, but in reality are just deceiving you. Similarly, she says that some salons will dilute nail polish bottles that have become clumpy from old age or from too much air exposure with nail polish remover.

This action compromises the quality of the polish, which will make the formula chip easier once on your nails. To
ensure the life of your color and to protect any possible germ. Just because there is no blood, doesn’t mean you haven’t been cut”Breaks in the skin can be microscopic or highly visible,” says Dr. Spalding. They can either come in with the client via “cuts, scratches, hangnails, bitten nails, insect bites, paper cuts, split cuticles — or be created in the salon,” he says.

“Nail techs using callus-cutting tools and nail nippers, files, cuticle pushers, and electric burrs and drills, can and do scratch and nick skin,” sometimes drawing blood and sometimes not. But just because no blood is visible, doesn’t mean these “portals of entry” aren’t susceptible to infective organisms, the doctor advises. If you’ve ever had your nails filed and it momentarily feels “too hot in the corner for even a second,” then you’ve had the surface layer of your skin broken — leaving it open for infection.

You may know how to properly outfit your body to flatter your best features and body type but you still might not feel “put together” if you skip out on accessories. After all, an outfit is just an outfit without the right accessories! If you want to look like the chic ladies you admire, but aren’t sure where to begin, use these tips to help you learn how to accessorize properly.

#1. Jewelry Is Not the Only Accessory
Sure, jewelry is an easy way to use accessories to create the look you want. However, it’s not the only area of accessories you should consider trying. You can completely change the vibe of clothing by using the power of a handbag or shoes. Think about it. If you’re wearing jeans, sporting tennis shoes and carrying a simple cloth purse, your look will be totally casual. However, if you take those same jeans and add fashion forward high heels and a crocodile skin designer handbag, your look totally changes.

#2. Don’t Over Do it on the Accessories
The worst way to accessorize is to completely overdo it. While the current trends encourage a multitude of bangles, layer upon layer of necklaces and dangling earrings, it’s important to not go overboard. If you like accessorizing with the trendy layers of jewelry, be sure you stick with one main layering area. For example, never wear twenty bangles along with six necklaces. Choose either the necklaces or the bracelets and skip wearing bold jewelry on any other area of your body while experimenting with this specific trend. A good rule of thumb is to accessorize all you’d like and then before going out, remove at least one item. This will always keep you from overdoing it and help you avoid looking trashy!

#3. Inexpensive Jewelry Saves The Day – No One Will Know
While it’s not everything, there is great ease in accessorizing with jewelry. You can start with a blank canvas, like your favorite Little Black Dress, and make it into anything you want, by adding a trendy earring, belt or bracelet. Lots of women hesitate to use jewelry as their main accessories because it’s so expensive. However, even celebrities like Jennifer Lopez wear fake jewels so don’t be shy about using faux gold, silver or jewels to dress up your outfit. Just be sure you buy higher quality faux jewelry if you want it to last a while. The really cheap stuff usually tarnishes quickly. You can find very inexpensive items at stores like Claire’s or Forever 21.

#4. Use Your Jacket
Most fashion experts agree an outfit is not usually complete without a jacket. Even in the not so cold months, they recommend you wear a jacket, sweater or scarf of some sort to complete your look. So, be brave and experiment with what looks best on you. Remember, jackets that highlight the smallest part of your waist are always a great choice for any body type.

#5. All The Fashion Extras To Try
If you’re one of the ladies who like to take their style to the next level, you might be interested in accessorizing with a special hat or trendy glasses. Hats and glasses can be excellent ways to bring your personality into your attire. Just be careful if you’re wearing a bold hat or trendy glasses to allow the piece you choose to be highlighted and never drown it out or try to allow another accessory to compete for the attention it deserves.
