Jan 17, 2013 7:00:00 PM

The first FDA-approved cosmetic eyelash enhancer launched in 2009.  A monthly dose costs $120.00 plus requires a doctor visit. As with any prescribed drug, there are numerous side effects to be wary of.  Women today can get the look of longer, fuller eye lashes without a prescription or doctor visit.  Eyes lash serum and conditioners are researched and designed to promote the look of longer eyelashes using a natural blend of herbal extracts that are safe and gentle for the eyes, without the harmful side effects caused by medicinal drugs.

The Geriatric Interviewee

Jan 7, 2013 7:00:00 PM

First impressions are important. No one will tell you otherwise. And one of the most notable instances of “first impressions” is when you’re going on a job interview. So you wear your crispest, sharpest outfit, tame your hair with an iron and bobby pins, apply make up and slip on power heels. You look in the mirror. Your anticipated pleasure melts into horror as you whisper, “My skin is so wrinkled.”

Safer than Botox

Jan 6, 2013 7:00:00 PM

Botox is the household name for wrinkle elimination. One shot, and you’re you, à la you in the year 1990. It would be easy to ignore the potential side-effects that can accompany Botox shots, but an educated consumer is a wise consumer. So before stepping up to the injection plate, it’s prudent to take a look at common problems associated with Botox usage.

Second Skin Chances

Jan 5, 2013 7:00:00 PM

Sometimes you get a second chance. And sometimes, you don’t.

Like the time your phone’s autocorrect changed, “I’ll be at Kohl’s” to, “I’ll be at John’s,” your ex? Mind you, you sent that text to your current flame. Or the time the soup bowl tipped off its stand – right onto your esteemed guest? Or maybe the time you tried to do a little jig onstage at graduation…and fell flat onto your face.

According to Wikipedia, an instant is "an infinitesimal moment in time, a moment whose passage is instantaneous.” But what does that mean, for something to occur in a timeframe that seems to be smaller than time itself? Even in theory, the smallest conceivable unit of time is approximately 10−43 seconds, called the “Planck time.” But still, even this is not truly an instant.

Andrew entered the conference room five minutes late; his train had been all stop-and-go this morning due to “train traffic,” which really, he thought, shouldn’t even exist. As he stumbled his way to his chair at the far end of the table mouthing “Sorry!”s, he noticed a couple of colleagues eyeing him with bemusement – and a couple with distaste.

Your Skin is the Canvas

Jan 3, 2013 7:00:00 PM

 You’re an artist. You look at the canvas before you and see potential. Potential for beauty, for expression, for a masterpiece. You dip your brush into the paint, bring it to the easel, poised and ready to apply to first stroke…when your son barges into the room and sprays the once-ivory canvas with deep brown cake batter. The artist in you thinks for a moment whether there is a way to incorporate this unexpected development into the anticipated work, when the rationalist in you realizes: this canvas is headed for the dump.

The Lost Natural Complexion

Jan 3, 2013 3:40:37 PM

On a number of occasions, I’ve admired other women’s complexions. And I tell them so. “Your skin is gorgeous – what do you do?” I ask, not really expecting an answer that exceeds a bashful, “I guess genes?” or, “A bit or moisturizer, I suppose….” And yet, time and again, I’m disappointed to find that the response is, “Thanks! I use this amazing foundation,” or, “I’m totally in love with this mineral makeup, actually; makes my skin look flawless.”

Sparse brows are unheard of for some (“What’s that?”), and the bane of existence for others, (“My eyebrows disappear in pictures!”) For a percentage of the latter group, it’s not uncommon to find those who are desperately searching for any method to restore their eyebrows – even methods that seem somewhat risky.
