DON'T lick your lips. Saliva actually dries it out faster. During the day, use lip balm as you need to, and before you go to bed (this is a tip I just found and it's good!:)), use moisturizing cream on your lips. Massage them onto your lips, and apply generously, you know when to stop. Another great tip I found was to clear off the dry skin on your lips in the morning with your toothbrush. Just brush them over your lips. I also heard of applying foundation to your lips, but I've never tried it. Either way, I think it would be better if you go out there and experiment for yourself. Don't be shy ^^. Go shopping with your friends, close family member, etc. ^^

I try to use colors that are close to my natural lip color. I have closer to fair than brown skin, but I tan very easily too and I'm originally from Vietnam. Most Vietnamese people have brown skin. Anyways, what I found was that red, brown, and purple looks too dramatic on me. Most strong colors do. So I try to find the milder ones, like the ones you apply on with a brush, and I stick to those. My lip color is peachish pink. I use reddish-pink or light red colors on my lips. I also apply more lipstick as I move away from the outlines cus it tends to have a better look on me, it looks more natural and my lips look fuller too, I guess. :P What you really gotta do is just experiment I guess, heheh. That's what I went ahead and did. ^^ Another tip, when you test a lip color, test it on your palm instead of the backside of your hand. Your palm is usually closer to your lip color.

Also, pleaase don't let hairdressers use thinning scissors on your hair! Particularly if they put it high up. When you have frizzy hair, your hair tends to react all over, and when you have lots of layers, they push each other off. I never knew it before, so when I went to hairdressers, I came home with great hair, until I washed it. I looked like a lion.

Avoid heat! That means blow drying, straightening, curling, etc. If you really must, then as the comment below suggested, blow dry with your hair. Use it on the coolest settle possible, and use a diffuser too if you can. My hair used to be straight, but weather and high chemical water changed it, into a big frizz. My aunt recommended me a curler gel, and those work really well. I went from crazy hair to curly hair, and all it was was coming out of the shower, scrunching two bumps of almond sized curling serum into my hair. As the comment below suggested as well, condition your hair. What I do is I try to condition my hair everyday to keep it moist. Use a moisturizing balsam, and shampoo too. Now all I do is wash it. I don't even need to apply anything, it becomes curly by itself :). I've also heard that using drinking water before a big event for example, can make your hair shine more, because drinking water(bottled) has balanced pH. For me, if I want it straight - it's simple, perms, lol. Also, avoid dying your hair or using too many products at once on it. That could make it chemically damaged, which would make things, yep, you guessed, worse. Have a good day ^^

My family has a small cottage in Pattaya! It's great there, but we were there and for the time we were there, it was only the beach, dinner, shopping, zoo (not in Pattaya), and this place where you get to see mini versions of monuments like the Eiffel tower. Where do you go?
