Beauty Tips_Lansinoh Breast Cream as lip treatment

If you are anything like me,you already know how frustrating it is to try a lip treatment and seeing money going down the drain because it doesn't do a crap, it claim to do.The best thing ,I found for my lips ,well until now, was CARMEX.I say until now,because I think I am gonna ditch CARMEX for this new GEM that I have I discovered.
So here is the story.I was cleaning the drawers and I found my leftover Lansinoh breast cream which I used religiously the first few week when I started breastfeeding.(I have a three month old).It is meant to sooth,heal dry and cracked nipples.Funny ,I have read it thousand time but it never crossed my mind that it can be used on lips ,after all its suppose to heal and sooth and worst of worst ,if I apply how bad it can be :).So I applied it last night and voila I have super soft lips in the morning.Its consistency is tacky ,not smooth like CARMEX so I will not recommend it for day use ,unless and of course if you like that kind of feel.Because its super tacky,its staying power is more..I guess that helps.Overall ,its a wonderful discovery for me and I will definitely recommend it to you,if everything has failed you.All the best.

Beauty Tips :How to apply mascara to lower lashes

I am sure it must happened to all of us.while applying mascara on lower lashes ,it get smudged and doesnt look very pretty.Not to mention additional work of removing it with a qtip and fixing concealer,if you are anything like me.

One of the way ,we can prevent it by using an eyeliner to coat the lower lashes.Fine tip of the eye liner gives us more control to individually coat the lashes making it a amore precise application.Try it next time.I hope you will like it.

Beauty Tip :Best Substitute for Makeup Wipes

Can you guess?? Now we all know that cleaning the makeup before we go to bed is one of the commandments of applying makeup.One of the easiest way to clean makeup is to use wipes.They remove all the trace of makeup without much mess .No wonder,its preferred by many 'cough' (lazy) souls .;-> . Anyways,being one of them and also a bargain hunter,I am always in lookout for cheaper substitutes and what did I find?


The best substitute for makeup wipes is baby wipes.I am not kidding.I have tried it and can swear by it.I prefer Huggies Baby Wipe with no alcohol or fragrance because I have very sensitive skin.Why to take risk with fussy skin? Not only it last me a long time ,it is dirt cheap so I dont feel guilty of using more than one.Just take few with you on the go and you are good.Just cant live without it.
