"Cakey Face      If your foundation looks cakey, spray your face lightly with water. Smooth out the edges with a damp sponge. Blend well."                                                                                       ---Fast beauty 1000 quick fixes by Rona Berg

"Slippery Gloss      Gloss makes lips look juicy and healthy, but it doesn't have great staying power. For longer-lastng shne, first color in the lips with a nude pencil-- the same color as your lips-- and use a finger or a lip brush to blend the color into your lips  like a stain. Then apply gloss on top"                                                                                        --- Fast beauty 1000 quick fixes by Rona Berg

"Clown Face        You overdid your blush and you dont have time to wash it off. If  you've  applied too much powder blush, go over it with a clean brush to remove excess.

"Lip  plumper         Moisten a bit of cinnamon and rub it on your lips before you apply lipstick.

"In the Victorian-era, it was officially frowned upon for women to wear makeup, but the clever beauty mavens of the day found other ways to flush their cheeks, redden their lips, and give their eyes that era's fashionably limpid look. Victorian women were advised to pinch their cheeks, bite there lips and grate horseradish into cold milk and apply it to the skin  to improve its color. One bit of folklore said to rub cheeks with a crimsom silk cloth dipped in wine. (of course, if you rubbed hard enough, your cheeks would flush, regardless of the color of the cloth--or the wine)."                                                         ----Fast Beauty 1000 quick fixes by Rona Berg peace and beauty laurie ann...

" Bath Salts       The ultimate, cost-efficient stress buster, a handful of sweet-smelling bath salts in a warm bath is relaxing, will lift your mood and can also soothe tired muscles.

"Lavender essential oil      Even if you're not into the aromatherapy scene, keep one essential oil in the house----lavender. It has so many therapeutic uses: place a few drops into the tub for a relaxing bath, keep it in the kitchen because nothing soothes a burn---and prevents blistering and scarring---like lavender oil or massage on joints to relieve arthritis pain.

"An eye cream is a worthwhile indulgence. The skin beneath your eyes has  no fatty layer, few oil glands, and not much support structure, which is why it wrinkles so easily and needs special care. Put your favorite eye cream on the undereye are lightly with your fourth finger, which exerts the least amount of pressure. If your skin is oily, look for a gel formulation, otherwise, a silky smooth pearly cream is quite nice."                                              -------Fast beauty 1000 quick fixes by Rona Berg
