fuchsia:
Forget the usual lip color suspects for fall. Make-up experts are
forgoing the de rigueur deep red for a new favorite: fuchsia. It gives
a coy, feminine appearance and looks good for a morning and evening
ceremony.
If you're thinking pink for your lips, first decide if you want to go
soft or strong. For a soft look, try a pale version of pink and apply
it with your finger.
To dilute the shade even more, cover the color
with a coat of gloss. For a stronger punch of hot pink, first apply
foundation to the lips to block out the mouth's natural color then
power lips up with a vibrant hue, such as Lakme Brilliance 8 & 9
Lipstick.

Vital Health Checks Every Woman Should Know About
Follow the essential guide to the most important tests available -
discover why you need them.
We all know how essential smear tests are for our health. But have you
ever thought of getting your hormone levels checked? Or having your
bones measured for their destiny? Probably not, but these tests could
be just as life saving. If you have any of the symptoms we've listed,
these tests could protect against both minor illnesses and life
threatening diseases.
Essential Check # 1 - Cervical Smear Test
Why you need it: Every year, 1000 women die from cervical cancer.
Sadly, most of them have never had a smear test. Cervical smears are
the best way to detect cell changes before they develop into cancer.
Essential Check # 2 - The Heathly Ovary Check
Why you need it: One in five women suffer from polycentric ovary
syndrome (POCS), a condition in which the ovaries become studded with
small cysts. In its most severe form - affecting one in 10 -
POCSinterferes with fertility and increases the risk of diabetes and
heart diseases. There are range of symptoms connected with the
condition – acne, excess body hair and weight gain are all common.
Essential Check # 3 - Bone Scan
Why do you need it: The bone-thinning disease osteoporosis affects
more than one in three women. If you're underweight, have irregular
periods or smoke, then you're at even greater risk.
Essential Check # 4 - Breast Examination
Why do you need it: Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer
in women, and it's estimated that one in 10 women will get the disease
at some time in their life. It's never too early to have a breast
check, and it's vital that women feel able to ask for one and learn
how to examine themselves.
Essential Check # 5 - Anaemia Test
Why you need it: If you constantly feel drained, off colour and suffer
from dizzy spells, you could be one of the 10 percent of women who
suffer from anaemia, a disorder affecting red blood cells that is
commonly caused by lack of iron in the diet. Women need around 14mg of
iron a day (equivalent to two bowls of bran flakes or a cup-sized
portion of spinach).
Essential Check # 6 - Thyroid Test
Why you need it: Do you feel anxious? Are you losing weight fast,
despite an increased appetite, or are you gaining weight for no
apparent reason? Or suffering from insomnia? These symptoms could
indicate thyroid problems. The thyroid gland produces thyroxin, a
hormone that can affect your metabolism, and problems with it can
cause a host of symptoms – from hair loss, heavy periods and
depression, to excess sweating, insomnia and palpitations. Women are
more at risk than men. If you have any of these symptoms go for a
test. (Visage PK)
