Where There Is No Cosmetic Counter: How not to look like a zombie – even after the end of the world as you know it

What if you could never buy cosmetics again? Ever. Have you considered this? What about grooming-aids? How would you retain your womanliness if the end of the world as you knew it ever came to an abrupt halt? It could be due to the economy, a loss of a loved one, a job loss, a catastrophe, anything that could change the world that you currently know. Most of us to some extent have preparedness provisions set in place such as water, survival food, protection and shelter, but the one area most women haven’t considered, and yet we use them every day, is our makeup and grooming-aids. In ‘Where There is No Cosmetic Counter’ you will find, that even though you can no longer afford to buy your favorite make-up; or have access to it; you can make foundation, blushes, eye-shadows, mascara, eye-liner and, yes even lip-sticks and glosses, and even those heavenly indulgences of body lotions, scrubs, creams, and moisturizers. All of these and more can be made with items you currently have or easily have access to in your pantries and gardens. This book further shows you how you can keep yourself well groomed by showing you how to properly wax your body using your homemade wax, how to safely remove in-grown hairs, how to care for blemishes and why they occur, and how to make toothpastes, mouthwashes and whiteners. Pamper your hair by making hot oil and deep conditioning treatments, shampoos and conditioners and learn how to cut, trim and style your own hair – and even make your own hair color! Let’s face it most of us look pretty scary in the morning with our hair all tousled and bags under our eyes. Can you imagine living like this for the rest of your life? Thankfully with options to make under-eye care and treatments, facial peels and masks, and body scrubs and washes we won’t have to. And for a little self-pampering; there are foot soaks, hand creams and baths bubbles. Think about it, if you could save yourself from having to buy lipstick and blush or any makeup or grooming-aid for that matter it would more than pay for this book. So, prepare yourself now for whatever may come your way. Learn how not to look like a zombie – even after the end of the world as you know it.
