Bye-Bye Mascara Panda Eye

9/6/2012

Some people never wear mascara because by lunchtime they end up with embarassing panda-eyes.

Blinc is a salvation for this because it is rubber based and forms what they call "tubes" around your lashes that don't smudge or create black rings around your eyes. You don't need special eye make-up remover either since just warm water and gentle pressure will remove the "tube" quickly and easily leaving little rubber strips on your face-cloth.

Although you use warm water to remove Blinc, it's largely water-proof - I suspect it would take five-star, tear-jerker movie tears to come off - and even then you'd just end up with little pieces of rubber on your cheek that are easily picked off.

Blinc mascara sells for around $35 at the time of writing but may change. They also sell a Blinc liquid eyeliner and a heated lash curler - I've not
tried these but they could be worth checking out.

Heat in a Click - Sore necks, cold hands or babies bottles

When I first discovered the "Heat in a Click" pads I thought their main use was as a hand warmer - oh how little I realised.

The amazing "Heat-in-a-Click" pads make instant and portable heat up to 54 degrees simply by clicking the disc inside them. Incredibly versatile for a number of situations.

Totally reuseable, portable and require no electricity or microwave to create the instant heat. The pads are recharged by boiling them in advance for 7-12 minutes. Once charged the pads cool down and are primed for use whenever you need them.
They come in a range of sizes starting at just $12 and
have loads of uses including:

for muscle aches and sore necks
to replace a hot water bottle
to warm hands
to heat a baby's bottle
to keep food warm

To see how versatile the "Heat-in-A-Click" pads are watch the You Tube video on the right or click on the product images for
more information.

Do you have any "Heat-in-a-Click" pads? How do you use yours?

Foods that Harm, Foods that Heal

This is the ultimate reference guide when it comes to food and food-related health. It's not a cookbook although every cook would love it, it's not a diet book although there's diet advice to be had ... you could almost call an encyclopedia of food and health with a New Zealand & Australian perspective. My copy is one from the original print run by Readers Digest although it has been updated and reprinted since and I believe it's sold over 7 million copies worldwide.
It is presented as an A-Z and so you can look up the food or medical condition that you're interested in very easily. It's practical, accessible with illustrations and is packed full of information. Some examples include:The information is based on inIt's been compiled with contributions from more than 350 experts and many New Zealand & Australian organisations.

A list of drinks comparing their caffeine content
An article on how food and nutrition can affect cancer
A section on sleep and your diet
The benefits and drawbacks of hundreds of foods
Guidance on foods that may worsen or lessen the effects of lots of
conditions from arthritis and sinusitis to psoriasis
A discussion on sports nutrition.

Now I know there are many specialist books on each of these
topics (not to mention Wikipedia) but this is a good generalist reference book
to keep on hand and it's presented in such a way that you can just pick it up
from time to time and browse through it picking up something new each
time.

The best price I've found for the current version is on Fishpond - click on the book cover above for more information. It is also available on The Nile website - link to the website below.

The Sweet Smell of Perfume Savings

We all have at least one favourite perfume - a fragrance we love and buy over and over again. Well the Fishpond website lets you make enormous savings on all the big brands. They have perfume deals on brands like Elizabeth Arden, Chanel, Givenchy, Estee Lauder, Jean Paul Gaultier, Vera Wang as well as all the Celebrity perfumes like Elizabeth Taylor, Britney Spear, Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera etc. They also have leading brand cosmetics like , Shiseido, Max Factor, Clinique, Clarins and RevlonOPI nail laquer.

Perfume and cosmetics are alot cheaper buying online and Fishpond sources from its local, US and UK connections for authentic big brand perfumes. I must admit I'm not a fan of exploiting retailers (checking out new perfumes in-store only to buy online) however when you already have your favourite why not seek out deals online.

Check out prices for your favourite perfume by typing it in the Fishpond search box on the right. You'll find you get multiple listings for each perfume depending on where it's being sourced from and the size of bottle. Some can be shipped virtually immediately while others may take up to three weeks - but if it's your favourite you'll know when it's running out and can order in time to enjoy the savings.

Let us know how you go with prices on your favourites. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
