Tips for Wearing Red Lipstick
Red lipstick can be scary. Many women feel that they can’t wear it but that really isn’t the case. It’s true that it isn’t very forgiving. Red lipstick can draw attention to thin lips and bleed onto your skin and teeth. Those of us with red and ruddy skin tones should probably avoid it. But, other lovely ladies should experiment a bit and will likely find a good match.
Let the Pros Deal with Unwanted Facial Hair
Note to self. Let the pros deal with unwanted facial hair. I learned my lesson the first time in 2008 when I tried Nair on my upper lip. Not a pretty sight. Clown lips and a big frown ensued after I left the Nair on too long.
Create a Supermodel Glow with Sunless Tanner
Part of the appeal of the supermodel is glowing, even toned skin. Supermodels have a whole slew of staff to make them look gorgeous and give them that glowing skin.

How to Get Rid of Dandruff Naturally
Winter weather can affect even the most healthy mane from time to time, leaving you with dry, flaky strands. I had my hair highlighted and cut recently and while I love the look, I have fallen, for the first time in many years, to winter's darker side when it comes to maintaining beauty. For about a month I've dealt with an itchy, dry scalp and the appearance of dandruff. Last week I decided it was finally time to do something about it. I searched the Internet far and wide for the best at home dandruff remedies. I've tried out two so far and they both worked to varying degrees.
For my “no more dandruff experiment” one I looked for a homemade recipe that contained ingredients that were actually in my kitchen at the time. (I rarely have avocado on hand.) The first one I found was on allwomenstalk.com in an article written by Fawn Wagner titled “7 Best Home-made Hair Masks.” This hair mask recipe includes the ingredients of bananas, and almond oil. Combine one, mashed up banana and three drops of almond oil. Mix the two together and spread evenly throughout your hair. Let the mask sit for 25 minutes to allow the ingredients to do the job of repairing your hair. The recipe was easy enough and it worked and looked beautiful. However, my hair went back to dry, dull and flaky again after the third day. I would recommend using this treatment a few times to obtain the best results.
