Lipstick for your lips

People notice your lips when you talk, as they listen to your words. You can improve the natural shape and color of your lips with lipstick, lip gloss, and lip pencil. Lipstick adds so much cheer to the face. It has to be used most carefully and neatly to get the best results. You cannot afford to use it in a casual manner. The outline should be neat and well-defined.
Do not give anyone the impression that you have dressed in a hurry, or that you do not know how to apply a lipstick. Do not apply it just for the sake of applying as a mere formality. Always work with patience when applying it on. You need a very good brush, and a few lipsticks covering the basic colors, like soft reds, pinks, hues of orange, etc.
General rules
* For thin lips, use lighter shades.
* For full lips, use darker shades.
* For the day, use lighter shades.
* For the night, use darker shades.
* For complexions which are not fair, avoid using very light shades completely.

    Muted colors like purple, brown, bronze etc. will look good, if you are having big lips.

    -Never use dark colored lipstick, if you have smaller lips.

    -It will be better to apply lipstick with a brush as preferred by professionals. This will help in reducing the amount of lipstick used.

    The colors that suit you are:

    -Shades like wines, berrys and mauves will look great on light blondes. Cappuccino colors will look good on them as well.

    -Shades like corals, apricots, peachy hues etc. will be really good on golden blondes.

    -Olive skinned blondes will look fabulous in warm peach, brown or terracotta shaded lipsticks.

    -Terracottas, cinnamon's and brownish reds will look great on brunettes.

    -Red heads will be best suited to wear warm terracotta colors, cinnamons and peachy browns

    Sometimes lips can become very dry and irritated because of allergy to skin care products, toothpaste or make-up cosmetics. In this case the only way to solve the problem is to throw away the cosmetic you are allergic to and to buy another one. You should choose also lipsticks that contain natural moisturizing ingredients and vitamins, for example smoothing lanoline or vitamin E.

    Make it a point to buy lipsticks that are good for your lips and not just for your looks.

    For natural looking lips begin applyling lipliner at the center of your natural upper lip line to define the bow. Then work toward the outer corners to complete the line.

    If you are a fan on matte lipstick, dust a little translucent powder after applying and the lipstick will last for hours.

    A clean line of concealer under the eyebrows gently buffed and blended out to accentuate the brow arch. Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream slathered on the lips before bed to rid chapped lips!

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
