Now Is That Really Necessary?
As graciously emailed:
Hello Beauty Marked!. Thank you so much for putting together a killer beauty blog and online beauty magazine. I’m 100% sure that you have really made such a difference to my knowledge about makeup, skincare and as you always say…to all things beauty! At the moment, I only have one question that continues to niggle away at me:
Is it really necessary for me to curl my eyelashes? I never do and wondered if maybe I should?
As gleefully answered:
*melts* Thank you so much for your kind words (and great question)! They mean so much to me and it’s always my complete pleasure to be of service. *big grin*
As for curled eyelashes, I’m a big fan. Curled lashes really open the eyes up and add tremendously to one’s beguiling beauty. Even those with short lashes can gain a fair bit of glam from curling their lashes then applying a lengthening mascara. For those with poker straight eyelashes…well, what better way to get them to stand and stay at attention, than to curl them and then apply a few coats of waterproof mascara? Curled lashes are a lifesaver for those with free-range lashes that just are hell bent on doing their own thing. A well wielded eyelash curler will get even the most recalcitrant lashes to figuratively straighten up and fly right, for sure! Curled lashes (and separated and de-clumped ones) are really much like groomed brows: an integral part of creating a gorgeous, overall-polished look. So to make what only required a short answer even longer (because we all know I can’t help myself)…Yes, curled lashes are necessary. Absolutely!

Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept it…
Is to continue to be a beautiful role model for all the budding beauties out there. Let’s strive to let them know just how gorgeous they already are. No kidding. Your mission is as simple as that. Once another person is able to witness how marvelous it is to see and experience the beauty, love, and generosity of spirit that is manifested when you graciously allow your infinite inner beauty to rightfully progress outwardly something really fabulous happens. An inspirational spark is then ignited within them, that encouragingly and embracingly allows one to tap into, experience, nurture, and share their own boundless beauty as well. Pure magic!
Oh, Is That The Time?
Where does the time go? Is it nearly the 31st of August at 5pm EST, already? I hardly noticed. Okay, okay, maybe my nose did grow a wee bit when I wrote that, but I am still so very excited about Beauty Marked!’s nomination for the 2007 Australian Star Beauty Blog Award that I couldn’t help myself. I just don’t want the voting to close before you have a hot minute to pop by and Vote *cough* For Yours Truly *cough* if you feel so inspired. Gosh, the time sure does fly by when your having fun! * still happy dancing*
A Stitch In Thyme…
Run out of your preferred anti-dandruff shampoo or don’t have any and wish you did? Never fear, Ms. Necessity is here! Just dash out to your thriving herb garden and pluck a handful of fresh thyme (don’t worry, mine hasn’t quite grown sufficiently for picking either *wink*) or about 4 teaspoons of dried and add to 500 mls of newly boiled water. Stir and let sit to cool. Thyme is a highly effective antiseptic or rather the essential oils it contains are and have been used to great effect throughout the ages. Once the thyme infusion has cooled, strain the thyme and compost or discard. Retain the cool infused water and use it as a final leave-in rinse. Ta da! What dandruff?
Onya, Ms. Necessity!

Add A Little Swish To Your Day!
A swish or two of a quality mouthwash can make a big difference to your dental health. Dentyl pH mouthwash is a dentist formulated, nifty alcohol free bi-phasal mouthwash that will stand up to bad breath and plaque with great efficacy. Dentyl pH mouthwash consists of two distinctly visible phases. The bottom phase of the formulation is comprised of a food coloured, anti-bacterial, water based layer and the top phase is an oil based layer which has a high binding capacity via an electro-static reaction to micro-organisms and food particles which ensures that the antibacterial water based phase adheres and deals with the bacteria causing “hangers on” which can lead to plaque, decay, and bad breath. In other words, once activated by shaking and swished in the mouth, Dentyl pH mouthwash creates an electrostatic reaction to attract, lift, and remove the bacteria and food debris which can cause bad breath and plaque if left to their own devices. You can actually see the results in the sink! It is also important to mention too that Dentyl pH is alcohol free, which is why it actually feels better to use. Dentyl pH’s alcohol-free formula does not cause stinging or dry one’s mouth out, like most conventional alcohol rich mouthwashes.
Dentyl pH mouthwash is a long lasting ally to have in your armoire and is available in Smooth Mint and Refreshing Clove from leading supermarkets and pharmacies nationwide.
