Image Source

There are a thousand and one products on the market boasting younger looking this, sexier that, contour and definition and so on and so forth, until you can’t shut your drawers for the sheer volume of sparkly packaged promises bursting out of it!

With winter well and truly here, wouldn’t it be nice to find a few reliable, weather-proof products that actually deliver what they’ve promised? It’s never nice to venture out and have your make-up transform itself on your face, only to discover later on that you look like you’ve just gone three rounds with Mike Tyson.
Read on for a list of products guaranteed to please. Oh, and they’re recommended by real women, rather than those made-up ones on flashy adverts.

Make Up For Ever Aquaproof Eyebrow Corrector
Available in seven shades, this brow defining gel gives a great natural finish with water resistant, all-day hold. Ladies rave about this product for doing exactly what it says on the tin whilst being dead easy to work with. The only real complaint seems to be that people picked up the wrong shade.

Even with oily skin, it seems that the product remains long-lasting and water resistant throughout the day and each tube lasts for ages. Perfect for striking winter brows!

 Clarins Waterproof Eyeliner
Designed to provide long lasting definition and intense colour, the Clarins waterproof eyeliner pencil is fantastic for spicing up your day to day look. An alarming number of reviews claim that this is completely smudge-proof and I too have to agree that it’s pretty difficult to shift. For smooth application and zero clumps, we’ve found a winner! It’s also perfect for those with sensitive eyes, so no more black winter tears!

 Laura Geller Eye Spackle Hues
Another product with a cult following; these fantastically versatile eye-shadow colours are completely waterproof and last all day without creasing. Too good to be true, you cry? Not so, this easily-applied cosmetic treasure is both primer and colour in one. It comes with its own brush applicator and click dispense function so it tidies away perfectly –very handbag friendly. The colours dry matte and won’t flake or fade.

 Lancôme 'Effacernes' Waterproof Protective Undereye Concealer
Some have gone so far as to claim that they appear to look ten years younger as a result of using this high-coverage yet surprisingly light-weight product. As with all luxury brands, this comes with a fair whack of a price tag but trust me, it’s worth the investment.

Women worldwide claim that Lancôme Effacernes is their number one concealer choice even after trying alternatives, and as someone who has real trouble covering inherited deep, purple under-eye circles I can completely agree. Not only is the formula waterproof, but the coverage is fantastic. No more hiding those tired winter peepers under designer eyewear, because this concealer will freshen and brighten your complexion beyond belief.

    Winter makeup is usaly a light color on the eye and lips. For the eye you should use black eyeliner with a very light color shadow.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

Get rid of head lice with these home remedies

Lice infestation is such a bothersome, distracting and embarrassing problem. Surely everyone harbors them at one time or the other. It is usually common among school children but soon spreads to other members of the family. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a sign of poor hygiene, as lice are not fussy whether they lay their eggs in clean or dirty hair. But yes, a dirty scalp can well serve as a perfect breeding ground for these tiresome creatures. Lice get transferred easily from child to child owing to the close contact of heads, during play, while sitting together or by sharing caps. Though there are many chemical and herbal over-the-counter preparations to remove lice, it is better to refrain from using them for they might also remove a good bit of your hair, while others could have a drying effect on the hair.  There are many home-remedies which do work well but the age-old method of regular combing with a close-toothed comb on all counts, is the most eff...
