Photobucket It is very important to press the two parts firmly together so that they will become ‘glued’ as a lipstick when cooled.You can use this technique coz I’ve done it many times and it saves me money because I don’t have to buy a replacement. ^_^ Cool huh.

According to the study women like to go ‘au naturale’ mainly to show off the quality of their skin.Despite healthy skin being top of their agenda many are still unaware of the unnatural chemicals contained within the products they use as part of their daily skincare regime and the harsh effects they could have on their skin. In fact, only one in ten of the women asked use products free from harsh chemicals such as parabens and sodium laurel sulphate (SLS).Holland & Barrett’s Group Director of Marketing, Phil Geary believes that millions of people are being – “tripped up by using products which are the beauty equivalent of junk food.”According to Phil there’s also “emerging evidence that chemicals such as parabens could have a harmful effect on health, yet they are found in the majority of high street beauty products. Holland & Barrett is the only retailer to have banned products containing parabens and SLS, and is committed to providing true natural beauty products”.Exclusively available in Holland & Barrett stores nationwide, Dr Organic is the first natural, organic, paraben and SLS-free beauty product range.

ESP’s style guru Sue Donnelly has our guide to making the most of your beach body look…Boyish figures look great in halter necks – they widen shoulders and make your bust look larger. If you’re long bodied try a tankini, as it’ll feel more comfortable. Beware of triangle tops, as they can flatten your breasts if not padded. Bandeau tops, in a textured or detailed fabric, can flatter and add inches. Boy shorts only work if you have long legs.

• If you’re hourglass or curvy, keep it simple. Block colours look best and always opt for underwired
tops. A belted one-piece looks great if you have a tiny waist. A sarong, a large hat and huge sunspecs
will give you film star appeal. Avoid a kaftan as it’ll hide your curves.
• If you’re a little top-heavy avoid halter or high necklines as they’ll accentuate your bust. Tops should
have support under the bust but a keyhole top can be surprisingly effective. Tie a sarong no higher
than your waist.
