Whatever your preference, there is sure to be a shade that you will adore. These lip products are sheer but do have very light color. They work well alone or as a top coat over other lip products.

'Black Insomnia' - How Much Is Too Much Caffeine?
According to the National Coffee Association's online survey in 2013, 83 percent of adults in the United States consume coffee. That boils down to roughly three cups per person per day - a staggering 587 million cups. The Mayo Clinic doesn't recommend more than 400 milligrams of caffeine daily, which is the same as four cups of brewed coffee, 10 cans of cola or two "energy shot" drinks. A fatal dose of caffeine can be as much as 10 grams, or roughly the weight of a #2 pencil, which could be found in some 4.7 gallons of coffee.

Plaque is Wack
Dental plaque doesn't seem like the stuff controversies are made of. No one says anything good about it, and everyone agrees that the gum disease and tooth loss connected with the plaque buildup that tends to occur as we grow older are avoidable. “There's no reason you have to face the loss of teeth at any age," says Peter Robinson, D.D.S., professor of periodontics. "Aging does not mean you have to have periodontal disease."
