Brave Woman helped by Nail polish & Lipstick whilst facing Breast Cancer

The headline sounds flippant but it’s not meant to be. To have life altering surgery that can affect your looks for life and to battle for your life at the same time is no simple joke, and for one brave woman, whose life is all about beauty, what helped her most through this massive upheaval and change was a positive attitude, a glamorous wig, bright red lipstick and a lick of nail polish.
Sophie Beresiner is Beauty editor at Look magazine, and I was moved by her story. Diagnosed at only 31 years old with breast cancer she had to endure a mastectomy and heavy chemotherapy in order to come out the other end Cancer free.
But at a time when you can feel your worst, Sophie has some really important words of wisdom that I’d love to share with our readers
Beauty is my business, so to be peering at my post-chemotherapy, naked eyelids in the mirror every morning, willing on the reappearance of my loved and lost lashes, is a world away from my ordinary life.
“This is what I now know; no amount of mascara can help when thinning lashes turn into no lashes, but a simple imprint of the brush can cheat them from afar. Even nails do not go unscathed where chemo is concerned -- it attacks all fast-growing cells -- but dark polish is a good camouflage…
Oh, and superficial doesn't even come into it. At a time when huge importance is placed on keeping a positive attitude, the confidence-crushing effect that cancer can have on appearance is definitely not something to be glossed over”
We prefer to recommend the natural toxin free kind of cosmetics because life’s too short to risk your health.

She stated she embarked upon the ambitious project in a bid to help her feel she has justified all of her many purchases.

The news source stated a multitude of people flocked onto the blogger's website since the scheme started last year, but Ms Osburn explained she is not surprised as the cosmetic product has numerous benefits.

"Nail polish is the ultimate accessory … it's cheap, easily accessible and always fits," she said.
