Balm Almond

Balm Almond

Hey, I need some makeup advice?

okay, i don't really wear makeup. the closest i've come to wearing makeup is burt's bees lip balm.
i have almond shape green eyes, nice-ish skin, and pretty full lips. (very humble, i know). what i'm wondering is whether or not makeup can enhance my natural look, and if so, what should i use?

It sounds like you already have pretty nice features. Lucky you!! But as the saying goes, a little goes a longggg way.

-Eyes: For a simple look I would go with a good coat of mascara on your lashes. Be sure to curl it before your apply the mascara. This simple make up technique will make your green eyes pop! To enhance your look a little more (maybe for a night out) I would suggest applying some eyeliner on your top lid. This will make your eyes even bigger with the addition of mascara. You don't need to cake or layer it on. A thin line (very close to the lash line) will make a huge difference. Make sure you practice a few times before you have a big event. Liquid eyeliner (what is usually suggested for top lids) are not tricky to master but do take practice.

-Face: Since you already have a pretty clear face you really don't need any foundation. If you have a greasy t-zone I would suggest using a translucent power (Bare Minerals Mineral Veil) to help with the shiny-ness. If you don't have that problem, then your lucky. If your up for it, you can enhance your cheek bones with some bronzer or blush. Make sure that when you do apply it you smile to see where the apples of your cheek are and brush upwards. For blush I would recommend NARS Orgasm. Its a bit pricy but totally worth it. Go to a Sephora and try it out before you buy it.

-Lips: Personally I don't wear lipstick or colored lip glosses. I think my natural lip color best suits my face. I personally LOVE Burt's Bees but recently I have also started to love C.O. Bigelow lip balms. You can find these in your local Bath and Body Works. My favorite is the Metha Lip Shine because it makes your lips shine for a long time. Plus, its clear so it enhances your natural lip color.

If your not sure what to purchase, I suggest this website: www.makeupalley.com. It reviews almost every product imaginable. So before you buy you can see what other people think.

Good luck!

How To Make Your Own Lip Balm

The Healing Properties of Lemon Balm

Lemon balm's history dates back over 2,000 years. The scientific name of this herb "Melissa officinalis" reveals much of its history. It is thought that bees and lemon balm have been inextricably linked since ancient times. The scientific name Melissa is derived from the Greek term for "honey bee." Moreover, many herbalists agree that lemon balm has much of the same healing and tonic properties that royal jelly and honey have. Lemon balm has traditionally been honored as an herb with the facility to lend rejuvenation. During the Middle Ages, lemon balm was a key ingredient in all medieval elixirs of youth. Even as late as the 18th century, lemon balm continued to maintain its reputation as an "elixir of youth."

Herbalists describe the taste of lemon balm as sour, dry, cold, and slightly bitter. Lemon balm is known to contain volatile oils (including citronellal), polyphenols, bitter principle, tannins, rosmarinic acid, and flavonoids. The actions of the plant have alternately been described as sedative, anti-depressant, a relaxant and restorer, a digestive stimulant, antibacterial and antispasmodic. Lemon balm is also known for its ability to promote sweating, relax the peripheral blood vessels, and for its antiviral properties.

The leaves of the lemon balm plant are believed to help relieve the symptoms of depression and tension. The leaves are known as carminative, so are thought of as ideal for those individuals who are affected by digestive upsets when they become anxious or worried.

Because of its cooling properties, lemon balm is also good for people who may suffer from feverish colds. Lemon balm cream can be used to treat cold sores and other conditions related to herpes simplex.

The best time to harvest lemon balm is just before flowering. In the summer, the leaves of the lemon balm plant can make a delightfully cooling and refreshing tea.

The essential oil of the lemon balm plant is also popular with herbalists. The concentrated oils from the lemon balm leaves are much more potent than the leaves themselves. Just a few drops of lemon balm essential oil can affect an individual.

A few drops of lemon balm essential oil are recommended as an antidote for depression. The potency of lemon balm essential oil is thought to be able to "shock" the depressed patient out of their state.

Other popular methods for consuming lemon balm in herbal remedies include as an infusion for hot tea and ice cream flavoring. Hot lemon balm tea is used to treat nausea, indigestion, and nervous exhaustion.

A lemon balm compress can be applied to any area of suffering from painful swellings, or conditions such as gout. Lemon balm can also be used to create a soothing massage oil. Simply dilute 5-10 drops of essential oil by combining with either almond oil or olive oil, and then rub to relieve chest complaints or other areas of tension.

Lemon balm should not be taken by anyone on thyroid medication as the herb may inhibit the absorption of the medicine.

Lemon balm has wonderful healing properties and can be used internally or externally to treat almost anything that ails you.
