5 Beauty Must-Haves to Pack in Your Suitcase

Every woman wants to look her best at all times, even when she is traveling. While your regular makeup routine may include enough items to fill a salon, when you hit the road, bringing along your entire arsenal of beauty supplies just isn't an option (unless you are prepared to pay for the extra baggage fees). Don't panic; you can look amazing and only pack a few beauty items.

Here's a look at five essential products to bring on your travels:

BB Cream: Blemish balms, more affectionately referred to as a "BB cream," has taken the beauty world by storm, and for good reason: They provide a host of benefits for the skin. This cream acts as a moisturizer, an SPF, a counselor, and evens out skin tone. With one product, you can get the benefit of at least four different products! Now that is a beauty product worth traveling with.

Pressed Face Powder: Traveling can easily give a glossy, undesirable sheen. With a pressed face powder, you can keep that shine away. Why go for a pressed powder over a loose one? Because you won't have to worry about opening up your bag in your well-priced, cheap hotel to find that your loose powder exploded all over everything, and it's much easier to apply, especially when you are on the road - or on the rails or in the air.

An Eye Shadow Palette: You can travel light and still give yourself shadow color options, thanks to an eye shadow palette. This palette features a selection of colors so you'll have choices, yet it is compact enough to travel easily.

Mascara: Even without any other product on your face, mascara can automatically give you a more polished, put-together look. It defines the lashes and opens the eyes, giving you an instant lift. A waterproof formula is a good pick while traveling because it won't rub off, even when you doze off on your flight.

Lip Gloss: Keep your lips soft and supple while adding a little tint of color with lip gloss. Choose a formula that has staying power so you don't have to constantly reapply. If you feel like you need a little pop of color on your face, you can even put a little bit on your checks and rub it in to act as a blush.

Talk about being innovative!

Travel light and look fantastic at the same time with these five beauty products.

    I love your list here! For me, I will never forget my BB Cream. BB cream acts also as moisturizer.

Pore shrinking mask recipes from home

A face with large open pores when seen from close quarters doesn’t look so good. While it’s quite common for oily skins to have a tendency towards open pores, an attack of pimples also leaves ugly scars and open pores behind.  Even though the scars may fade away after some time, open pores appear to be more obstinate and hardly show any signs of shrinking.  Age also takes its toll by giving an uneven/pigmented tone to the skin and making the open pores more prominent. Heredity could also be a contributing factor in determining your pore size. It’s not easy to get rid of these pores or shrink them completely or permanently using serums, lotions or face packs. Even resorting to drastic chemical/surgical procedures at the dermatologist’s isn’t quite capable of giving satisfactory results.  Nevertheless, you can try and minimize their appearance at least temporarily with clever makeup and a few natural skin care masks such as these: * Cleanse your face with a mild ...

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.

Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.
