“It’s (mascara) very easily contaminated by your eyes and repeated use, and there [are] all kinds of bacteria that surround the eyes and eye lashes,” says Dr. Pugliese. He says mascara should not be kept over three months. As a rule, never use another person’s mascara, adds Dr. Pugliese. There’s a little microscopic mites in all our lashes—usually one in ten lashes!

Everyone knows the goodness of the vitamin rich citrus fruit, ORANGE! But do you know that you can also apply it on your skin?Here are some beauty quick tips (from marie clarie) which doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket!
Orange Yogurt Mask
- Plain yogurt (I used bout 2 tablespoons.)
- Freshly squeezed orange juice (I used 1 quarter of an orange.)
- Simply mix both ingredients
The mask is a great way to cleanse and nourish your skin especially when you’re missing out on your much needed beauty sleep. I personally tried this and found this very moisturising (from the yorgurt) and I love the prickly sensation (from the fruit). It probably cost less than $1 for each application.
I came across this website and found their business model rather interesting. It is a site which gives out free samples (cosmetics, skincare etc) to consumers.
The logic is simple.
Consumers are always curious if a certain products work for them and would very much prefer to try them out before they purchase them.
Companies believe their products are damn good and once consumers try them, they will eventually buy them.
Fr3b (sampling hub) acts as a middlemen by getting all the samples from the companies and passing them on to their consumers while making money through advertisement revenue.
The catch? Consumers got to pay a nominal postage fee ($1.60 – $2.40) for their freebies and write reviews for the samples they got.
So how do you start?
(1) Register for an account. List your skin, hair, eye etc characteristics for a better sample match.
(2) Click sample gallery and grab up to 4 samples using the points given to you (6 points to start off with, each sample cost 2 points).
(3) Contribute to the delivery fee
(4) Wait patiently for the samples
(5) Try the samples and write a review to earn more points for future redemption
Out of curiosity, I’ve decided to register an account and started grabbing some samples.
(1) Nexcare Non Exposure Tapes
SbR: Wondering if these tapes are stronger and better than the ones I currently used (Hollywood Tapes). If they are I might jolly well use this since it is cheaper!
Leveraging on 3M’s strength in adhesive technology, Nexcare introduces an all-new ultra-thin film that you can use as a cosmetic aid to avoid those embarrassing moments and look good in your outfit effortlessly!

It holds on strongly, even during perspiration yet gentle enough for use on sensitive skin.
