    For greasy hair--you can buy a dry shampoo that you simply spray on and the brush through it doesn't clog the hair and still leaves a shine!

    The cheapest most effective solution for puffy eyes is Preparation H gel. I know it sounds crazy... but, a friend of mine swore by it so I gave it a try. It really works! Obviously you want to use an unused tube- only on and for your eyes. Apply around your eyes (be careful not to get it in your eyes) and leave on for as long as you like-until puffiness subsides. Then wash it off with soap and water and that's it; it works like a charm! F.Y.I. the cream does sometimes sting a little but, that is only temporary. I'm guessing the same ingredients used to shrink hemorrhoids puffiness is what makes it work to shrink eye puffiness

    Bleeding Lipstick-use a lip liner. this will help prevent the lipstick from running. Try to find a similar color or a shade darker than your lipstick.

Natural remedies for dark circles around your eyes

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them! Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker.

Home remedies for common cold

Common cold is a very common malady which affects people during monsoons. (Also see the post Beauty and body care in monsoon for a monsoon beauty regimen.) It can be caused by any one of more than 200 viruses. Normally it is confined to the nose and throat although the virus can infect the larynx and lungs. It is said that there is no particular cure for colds, they are naturally relieved within a week. Treatment is just an attempt to relieve its symptoms such as headache, stuffy nose, sore-throat and congestion. Paracetamol tablets are generally taken to get relief from these symptoms.
