Lipstick Answers

Does it really moisturize your lips?
Does it last?
Does it make your lips gummy or sticky?
Should I get it?

I have Full blown Fibromyalgia & have tried & still doing the best I can with my doctor’s care, but I have been reading a book that says to Avoid Salicylates & take Gauifenesin. That Salicylates block gauifenesin & gauifenesin helps your body remove phosphates from your body. Kidney are not working right & customarily friendly phosphates…there’s just too much of it in the wrong places. Actually it’s a book that details a treatment that reverses Fibromyalgia by avoiding salicylates & gauifenesin helps with this treatment. I tried the Gaufenesin after asking my doctor, who said he thought it would NOT hurt me & maybe help. But he also said I did NOT have to avoid salicylates. Nothing happened…. so I reread the book & it says, you must avoid salicylates in order for this treatment to work. If anyone out there has tried this treatment, please let me know. To avoid salicylates: lipsticks, mouthwashes, toothpaste, nasal sprays, plant oil, extract, teas,.

A man who smelled like a distillery flopped down on a subway seat next to a priest. The man’s tie was stained, his face was plastered with red lipstick, & a half-empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket.
He opened his newspaper & began reading. After a few minutes, the disheveled guy turned to the priest & asked, “Say, Father, what causes arthritis?”
“Mister, it’s caused by loose living, being with cheap women, too much alcohol & a contempt for your fellow man!”
“Well, I’ll be damned!” the drunk muttered, returning to his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man & apologized. “I’m very sorry, I shouldn’t have been so unpleasant about it. Tell me, how long have you had arthritis?”
“I don’t have it, Father — I was just reading here that the Pope does!”

i got one on clearance, but it’s in a really dark shade so i don’t wear it. but it literally didn’t come off after i finished applying it.
have you guys tried it? & if so, do you like it?

I was thinking about getting a lip stain but I wasn’t quite sure how it worked. I want to go for the natural lip (like one you would want to kiss) but I don’t want it to feel dry to the touch (kiss) like it feels when you use all day wear lipstick (like cover girls outlast all day lip color)
Is it drying to the lips? Does it look natural? What are you experiences with it?? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

i bought it today in 87-praline digitale. its kinda weird to apply. not really sure if i like it or not.
so what do you think of it if you have bought it?
does it wear well? like do you have to keep reapplying it like lipstick?

my fav is sephora & mac 210 Laque-Lacquered
both are natural pink & stay on for so long.
I’m looking for natural colors that won’t make me look pale & won’t dry out my lips or disapear shortly?

* If you have green eyes, wear purple shadow because it brings the color out
If you have blue eyes wear brown because it brings the color out
If you have blue/green eyes , wear a mix of both.
* After applying lipstick, stick your thumb in your mouth, & then slowly pull it out. This removes any lipstick from the inside rim of your lips so you don’t get lipstick on your teeth.
* To minimize the appearance of a pimple, hold ice on it for two minutes. It brings the swelling & redness down.
* before bed add a tiny bit of honey & some water in the palm of your hand & spread it across your face, avoiding the T zone. smooth & soft face int he morning

* Rub vaseline on your eyelashes every night. Smear it in between every single lash & all around your lash line. If you do this every day, it will eventually make your lashes grow in faster & softer.
* Blowing on your nail polish to dry them decreases shine & dulls them. Instead, soak your nails in ice water after your done & if you must, use your blow dryer on low, cool setting just to blow off the water. Now don’t touch anything!
* Pour a tablespoonful of honey into a small bowl. Add two teaspoons of sugar & mix well. Now scoop up all of the mixture with your fingers & massage well into your hands for a few minutes. Sounds yucky but feels great! Rinse & apply hand lotion. Soft! Has anyone tried any of these?? does any really really work??
