This probably is my favorite beauty secret to share. Most women do not need foundation. While it can become a habit to apply, its purpose is to give a smooth surface for make up application, and an even tone. More and more teens are wearing it, though. The first make up tip every woman should know? Foundation does not cover up nasty acne, and most women simply don’t need it.

When you want to Bitch-Slap your guys mom
Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com
No matter how fabulous you are, there's a decent chance that your man's mom might be a total beast to you. According to Terri Apter, PhD, author of What Do You Want From Me? Learning to Get Along With In- Laws, 60 percent of women report having a negative relationship with their guy's mother (compared to just 15 percent of men who say they have tension with their significant other's mom). "She's worried that you're going to usurp her role, and she has to adapt to no longer being the most influential female figure in her son's life," Apter explains. And sometimes she "adapts" by being critical, controlling, nosy, invasive...you name it. Save yourself the fury and headaches and be strategic right from the start.
Don't Be a Pussy
Some women make the mistake of bending over backward to win a difficult mother's approval. "But this puts you in a subservient position that she can then take advantage of," Apter says. "It will be a challenge for you to stand up for yourself in the future." Rather, you have to walk the line between acting like an alpha female while also being respectful to her.

1. Red Wine
Some researchers claim that the positives of drinking red wine go beyond cardiovascular benefits. A number of studies have discovered that an antioxidant concentrated in the skin of the grape, resveratrol, may actually help inhibit the growth of cancerous tumors. Research into the properties of resveratrol also indicates that it may be helpful in the formation of nerve cells, and so could potentially be a factor in the treatment of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to let you guys know about the medication Tylenol which is a brand name for acetaminophen. It is mostly used to treat headaches or muscle pains etc. It is a very common pain reliever that everyone uses.
Since it is available over the counter and anyone can purchase it without the interference of the pharmacist, most people don't realize the risk that is associated with it.
When you are in pain, you tend to just keep on taking pain medications without reading the Dosing directions that are on the bottle. It is advised to have no more than 4000mg of acetaminophen in 24 hours. So if your taking tylenol extra strength which is 500 mg, that means you can only take 8 tablets a day.
Most people tend to ignore that and the result is DEATH!!
So the point is, always talk to your doctor about your medications and any other medications that you are taking. Also, it is better to talk to your pharmacist about the medication to ask if there are any side effects or interaction with any other medications.

Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com
Acne can be frustrating to say the least. Despite all of the products on store shelves, there are many individuals out there that have turned to making their own masks like me.

Plus, I am a big believer in if you cannot pronounce the ingredient in it, then it’s best not to use it. So here are the 10 best home made anti acne masks that I have personally used…

Plus, I am a big believer in if you cannot pronounce the ingredient in it, then it’s best not to use it. So here are the 10 best home made anti acne masks that I have personally used…
9. Heavy Cream Easy to Use Facial Mask
The ingredients in this mask consist of heavy cream (1 tablespoon), honey (1 tablespoon) and baking soda (1 gram). This is the fastest mask to prepare and it gets rid of acne just as fast!8. Best Face Mask for 30’s
Fractionated coconut oil (2 tablespoons), 1 Egg Yolk, Honey (1 tablespoon), Yogurt (1 tablespoon) and Sugar (1 teaspoon). Mix all of these ingredients and process them in a blender. Apply to the skin and let it sit there for twenty five minutes, then rinse it off with warm water followed by a splash of cold water.7. Best Face Wash for 40’s
This one is great for someone like your mom (assuming you are young and reading this). One way to slow skin ageing is to take care of it. This mask consists of peas (2 tablespoons), Evening Primrose Oil (1 tablespoon), Yogurt (1 tablespoon), Grape Seed Extract (1 tablespoon) and carrot juice (1/2 Cup). Mix all of the ingredients in a blender and smooth it on the face leaving it there for thirty minutes.6. To Refresh Your Skin …
The ingredients include ¼ apple, ½ peach, ½ tomato, ¼ milk and 1 tablespoon of Almond oil. Peel all of the fruits and mash them up. Add the milk and oil into the mashed fruits and use moderate heat as you stir it. Do this until the mixture turns into a cream. When it cools, apply a thick layer to your skin and leave it there for thirty minutes. This mask will refresh your skin and keep pimples at bay no matter what type of acne you have!5. Oatmeal Face Mask
Oatmeal is not just an awesome breakfast food, it is also great for the skin because it helps cleanse and exfoliate. It also helps unclog pores. Mix with honey and scrub it on your face to get rid of dirt, blackheads and acne.4. Pumpkin Facial
Pumpkin is excellent for your face because it is rich in Vitamins C and E. It is also rich in mineral zinc. When you use it in facial masks, it is going to help tone and moisturize the skin. No more dryness!3. Baking Soda Facial
This is one of the most popular ingredients you will find in homemade acne masks. It really treats acne because it helps get rid of the oil and prevents pimples. It also works as a natural exfoliant.2. Citrus Fruit Facials
Citrus fruits, such as grapefruits, oranges, lemons and limes will do wonders for the skin. They have natural antiseptic properties, so they get rid of germs which is one reason why you can’t seem to get rid of acne and they will also help to reduce oil. Choose the citrus of your choice and mix it with wheat flour in order to make a paste. Leave it on your face for twenty minutes, then rinse.1. Aspirin Mask
This one has worked on some people out there, so I figured it is worth the try. It consists of 5-6 uncoated aspirin, lime juice, 1 drop of honey and 1 tablespoon of yogurt. Trust me, this one is better than the best acne products out there.There are many homemade anti-acne face masks that you can try out. Why would you want to buy one from store shelves, when you can make them yourself and KNOW just what is in it? How many of you out there make your own masks? Share the recipes with me!

8 Steps to follow to get perfect RED LIPS
Brought to you By Ladiez-Stuff.Blogspot.com
Red lipstick has always been a hit, but it’s done wrong so much that it can be too scary to try. Done right, though, it can look gorgeous, and be the extra finishing touch to complete your look for that first date or for a fun night partying it up with the girls or for a quiet dinner with your sweetheart . Here is my fast and easy guide to getting it right!

Brush your teeth and do it right. Not only will this get rid of bad breath but will also help keep your teeth sparkling white. If you need to, use a whitener. It’s just not a pretty sight to see red lipstick with unattractive teeth.
Photo Credit: Co®tex™
Different shades of red suit different people so don’t just buy the first red lippie you see! Experiment with different shades and see what suits you best. Also, different occasions and places require different shades. A bright red may just not be appropriate as work makeup.

Apply a small amount of Vaseline around your lips. Try not to go over the edge, or to use too much! If you find it hard to apply, use a cotton bud lightly dipped in. This will help soothe chapped lips and also help the lipstick stick on better.

Now apply your carefully picked lipstick. Don’t worry too much about the outside, as we’ll deal with that next, just try to give an even coverage.

Use a clean cotton bud to remove the Vaseline and any lipstick that has gone of the edges of your lips. This will give you a more professional finish, and leaves your lips looking luscious!

Use a tissue to carefully blot your lips. This is important, but most people skip it! Make sure you gently dab your lips, rather than wiping them. Ofcourse this step should be followed for all lipsticks!

Depending on where you are going, sometimes a touch of lipgloss is the perfect finishing touch. Try to use your finger to apply it, or have a lipgloss specially for red lips, because the lip colour might stain the applicator otherwise.

Let your lips do the talking, and keep the rest of your make up to a minimum. Smoky eyes are a big no no! You’ll look much better that way, and look instantly classy.
Red lips are the perfect way to finish so many outfits, so don’t be scared to try it out! It’ll take less than five minutes when you are used to applying it, and worn right, it is a classy and professional look. I love my red lipstick! Have you got a tip for applying red lippie? Please share it with me!
