Move over GNP, GDP, and even Consumer Price Index! All I need is the lipstick sales of the Estee Lauder Group of Companies, and I shall tell you what the economy’s health is, right here, right now!
Oops, I was just plain kidding. But really, I’m not absolutely joking about it – because from an article I read last week from the New York Times, there is indeed a relationship between lipstick sales and an economy’s health – and it’s inversely related.

Whew! It’s been a long time since I’ve written a Beautynomic article, but okay, my creative juices are starting to bug me again to write something of this nature, and voila! this article. =)
I’ve totally lost control over the groceries ever since I’ve been busy with work. My bath supplies have long depleted, and thanks to my bath product addict of a mom ( whom I’ve been talking about – she loves body oils and body wash the most ), I still have some body wash to use whenever I take my shower for God forbid, I haven’t used a regular soap bar for ages! ( the massage soap bar I got wasn’t “regular”! Haha! ). My current body wash? The Ivory Moisturizing Body Wash in Aloe Vera scent. 
Sigh, work has been toxic lately as the ber months have shifted the demand curve at another level. That always happens!

Knowing your skin tone is one of the most imporant things to know because your life depends on it. I mean, if you would always want to look fabulous, you have to know this fundamental law of beauty and fashion. It’s got nothing to do if you’re a “warm” wicked woman or a “cool” chick. It’s simply sticking to your natural skin tone, and making the most out of it by sticking to the shades that you’d look great in! Otherwise, it’s simply a death toll for you. You would NOT want to underutilize your natural beauty, right? 
I have always been scared of lip-plumping products because they offer trade-offs of some sort. Yes, the economic term trade-offs, wherein you get something, but you lose something too.
