Are fetuses used in cosmetics?
Some say fetal tissue is used on many products like cosmetics, medicine, food etc but that needs to be looked more into detail since it is exaggerated;
Cosmetics: Neocutis Inc. used fetal tissue in their beauty products but so far that is the only company doing so.
Food: Synimex is the company who have the additives used in soft drinks and others and in 2010 a pro-life organisation accused them of using fetal tissue in it. When they wrote a letter to the CEO and was ignored they sent letters to the companies using the additives and then started a boycott. They say Synimex have not denied using fetal tissue but that also mean they have not confirmed it. They choose to ignore the pro-life groups claim.
Medicine: In South Korea they found pills contaning fetal tissue dried and made into powder, used as stamina boosters. The pills were contained and is illegal.
Vaccine: Yes, cells from aborted fetuses from back in the 1960's are used for making vaccines. Vaccine can not be made without cells from someone who had the disease and as we know was aboriton illegal back then unless for health reasons so they clearly had good reasons for both the abortion and for donating the tissue to science. Today in 2012 the same cells from the 60's are used.

Does sleeping with makeup damage your skin?
Although sleeping with makeup on once or twice won't do much damage, making it a habit will. Makeup covers your pores, and pores make the chemical that moisturizes and protects your skin. Also, you can get acne if you regularly sleep with makeup on. So, try to remove your makeup each night!!!
Nail polish,if swallowed or inhaled,could get you high (inhaling) or poisoned (swallowed).Other makeups should NAWT be swallowed like blush or eyeliner simply because of the ingredients that may be harmful to the body.Now simply wearing makeup will not kill you unless you are HIGHLY allergic to the ingredients in it,but the worst that could happen is that it would clog your pores and give you acne.
Why should you not brush teeth before using teeth whitening strips?

How do you pick the right foundation?
When picking a foundation you need to be able to see it in daylight. Bring a pack of wipes with you and try on a few different types that you think are along the same as your skin colour. Remember to go outside and see what they look like in daylight. It is like clothes shopping; you will never know if it fits you unless you try it on. Now for the type of foundation you need. If your skin is evenly toned (no redness or colour patchiness) then you may just need a tinted moisturiser. If you have red colours in your face then you will need a foundation with a yellow tone in it to counteract the redness. Gray skintones need pink tones in their foundations. If you need to cover under eye circles or blemishes you will need a concealer.

How can you paint nails really good?
If you are asking how to get some very nice nails, then here is a list of things that should result in beautiful nails.
- Wash your hands. This gets rid of any dirt that could be hiding under your nails. Make sure you scrub your nails too!
- Dry hands and file them to any size that you would like, but make sure they are rounded nicely, so you do not pick them, bite them, and/or they do not break.
- Get vitamin E lotion or some soothing lotion and rub gently into your hand and nails. This will not only strengthen them, this will make them soft.
- When the lotion is dry, take your nail polish and paint away.
- Do not pick, bite, and/or pull at your nails. This will ruin the masterpiece you have just started.
- Remove the nail polish, after about a week and see the difference this has made!
