Beating back water deficiency
25/01/2012 : Drinking eight glasses of water daily can be a difficult thing to do for busy urbanites, and as a result the skin may also become thirsty and suffer from the dehydration.

Sadly, those without the advantage of full lips may not be bought by the boldness of the colour. And no, red isn't the only shade that could make your lips alluring. Red gives us the tantalising hot sensuality, but at times, you just can't really resist the ice queen glamour of the barely there make-up look.
