“Using a gua sha tool allows you to work deeper into the muscles and fascia than by using fingers alone, so you can consciously release where you are tight,” Brindle said. “Facial gua sha activates acupressure points along the 12 major meridian lines in your face.” Here are the basic steps for giving yourself a facial gua sha massage at home. For a more detailed overview of this technique, watch this step by step gua sha tutorial! If you’re comparing gua sha versus the Graston Technique, both forms of natural therapy are non-invasive, use tools to manipulate the soft tissue and are used for pain-related issues. However, the Graston Technique is focused more on breaking up fascia restrictions, while gua sha aims to increase circulation and lymphatic flow (such as with lymphatic drainage massage).

Actually did a mini-spree at Walgreens earlier. Got the rimmel scandal eyes in nude (love it ), the milani shadow primer, the loreal power volume black smoke mascara and the loreal extra intense liquid pencil eyeliner in carbon black. Thanks for your recs on all of them! Already tried and am pleased with everything. Till I get that tax refund I’m scoping the drugstores …then back to sephora and ulta! One good thing about where I live is that a mall with sephora is 10 min away, ulta is 5 and it takes me about 10 min to even just walk to the Walgreens. So much temptation! harganya murmer ya vee, tapi sayang kualitasnya nggak sebohay harganya haha 😀 nice post! ^^mimoyoja.blogspot $18.00 $12.60 If you judge an eyeliner by how smooth it is, you will love this! Each of the pencils glide on the skin like gel! It is extremely pigmented, smooth, and soft! The color payoff is intense and vibrant! But you do need to be careful with a formula like this as it smudges easier! You’ll definitely need to let it dry down for a minute before you put additional shadows on top or move your eyes around too much. It stays on well on my lids but not so much on my lashline. I think because it is so creamy, it is easy to be wiped away. Also, I wasn’t a big fan of using it along my lashline as you need to keep sharpening it to make the edge thin enough to be exact.

Everything you need for the full Lilac lash experience. *If you don’t get relief, consider getting lashes removed until allergy season or anything else causing extreme stress on your body and immune system has passed. Eyelash extensions kits Mini Clear Lash Glue House of Lashes Eyelash Adhesive is formulated for LONG lasting wear. Your falsies will stay on securely all day. This glue has been created to affix the lashes in the Sweed Lashes range. Be wary of companies claiming to have a “cyano-free” glue or a “hypoallergenic” adhesive too. If you’ve been tested by a doctor and know your allergy is specific to cyanoacrylate, it’s very likely you’ll be allergic to other acrylates.

Because of the lower house edge, video poker payouts promise to be potentially higher, with variants like Jacks or Better known to have some of the highest-paying bets.
