Meet Laura B!
Laura B. is our very own health & beauty guru. With no particular favorite category in the world of beauty, Laura B. gives us beauty tips, for our hair, skin, nails and even sometimes fashion! She is up to date with the latest and greatest on the red carpet, and in the entire world of being beautiful.
You may relate to Rachel if you have dark, wavy, long hair. It is shiny, and easy to do, but not the type of mane that is jump-out-of-the-shower ready. It takes some work for Laura to make her hair perfect, but once she does it, it stays! She has normal skin that gets the occasional blemish. She tans easily, but it doesn’t last long, so she moisturizes a lot!
Laura B’s celebrity lookalike is Rachel Bilson!
Quick Beauty Tip – Don’t Pump Your Mascara Brush
We’ve all seen women do it. She quickly unscrews the cap of her mascara, pumps the brush in and out a few times, and then brushes it onto her lashes. What she doesn’t realize is that she is pumping unnecessary air into her prized mascara, which ultimately dries it out. The brush lives inside the makeup, so don’t worry about your brush being saturated. Simply pull the applicator from the tube, and apply!
Let’s Go Halvsies
It is no secret that our blow dryers and flat irons dry out our gorgeous locks! That’s why here at The Beauty Place we live and die for our hair masques, heat primers, and shine sprays. But lately we’ve come up with an even better technique. We like to call this “halvsies”. You save part of your hair from intense heat by only straightening half of it at a time!
Option 1: For pretty waves just iron halfway down from your roots. This will straighten the pieces around your face and head, but leave you with a natural look. The best part? Your hair iron will never touch your sensitive tips, therefore lessening the likelihood of breakage, and dry, split-ends.
Option 2: For lots of body only straighten the bottom half of your hair starting about 3 inches away from your scalp, depending on your length. The best part? You’ll get tons of body up top while rocking silky, straight hair on the bottom!
Tutorial Tuesday – How to use an eyeshadow palette
Cosmetic companies do a great job of pairing stunning eyeshadow colors in a tempting palette. It is hard to choose one because they’re all just so gorgeous! When you make your decision and bring it home you have even more decisions to make… “how am I going to use all of these pretty colors on one eye?”. Here’s a simple tutorial – how to use an eyeshadow palette.
Use the lightest color as the base. Brush this color from the lid up to your brow. Use the darkest color in the crease of your eye. Use the accent color (in this case, the light pink) in the inner corner of your lid. Use the remaining color on your outer lid. Blend them together a bit. For long lasting eyeshadow, first apply a primer or eyeshadow base.

Importance Of A Clean Canvas
Always apply makeup to a clean canvas. It is important to exfoliate, cleanse and tone your skin before putting makeup on. The smoother the surface of your skin, the better the makeup will go on, and the more lustrous it will appear. Plus, you won’t need as much makeup to cover imperfections if you’ve scrubbed them all away!

Tutorial Tuesday – How To Curl Your Hair With A Flat Iron
Everyone is always asking us how to use your flat iron to create loose, large waves in their hair. Today, we reveal the secret. As shown here, start to rotate your wrist toward the bottom of the piece of hair you are working on. For a tighter curl, start closer to the scalp. If your hair usually holds a curl, you’re ready to go. If it has the tendency to drop when you leave the house, put a mist of light hairspray before you bounce. No pun intended!
