Quick Quiz: Can You Guess the Origin of Lipstick?

BellaSugar — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 14:00:19 PST

When you think of iconic beauty products, what comes to mind? For me it's lipstick. It's no surprise that lipstick is such a beauty icon considering it dates back 5,000 years. But it really became popular in the sixteenth century under Queen Elizabeth I, when it became a symbol of aristocracy.

Then, during WWII, movie stars made lipstick even more popular. Now 80 percent of women wear it. Did you know that more than 700 million lipsticks are sold throughout the world each year? That means that 22 lipsticks are purchased every second!

But here's my question: Back in the early years when tubes of lipstick weren't readily available, what do you think women used to stain their lips?

Quick Quiz: Should You Tip The Owner of A Salon?

BellaSugar — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 11:00:22 PST

I get lots of emails asking about tipping etiquette for hair, nails, and other general salon and spa treatments, so I thought it was time to address the issue. Growing up, my mother always told me that it is not standard practice to tip the owner of a salon.

This unspoken rule stems from the idea that the entire cost of your treatment goes to the house. So unless your level of service was exceptional (say they gifted you with a deep conditioning treatment or an eyebrow coloring), a tip is unnecessary. Do you think this rule still applies today? To find out, take this quick quiz!
