Here are some more information for Beauties Red:
Known as one of the oldest sports in history, horse racing has brought on a lot of fame and fortune to these Equine beauties. They endure a lot of training with practice sessions using jockeys to perform in and win major competitions. The winning equines gain fame throughout the world because of the way they performed during an event. However, there are a few that have done a lot of hard work and made their way to the top. Here are some of the top racing horses in recent times with their background:
Affirmed- Considered one of the world's most renowned horses, he was also known as the eleventh winner of the United States Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing and is still the last horse to do so. He is a descendant of Triple Crown winner War Admiral through dam sire Crafty Admiral. After winning several events, Affirmed is a representative of thoroughbred champions. This led him to become one of the most famous horses of all time.
Barbaro- Known for his impressive recoveries from various injuries, Barbaro has won several racing events such as the Kentucky Derby, Florida Derby, and the Holly Bull Stakes. He is a third generation bloodline of Mr. Prospector along with several other Triple Crown hopefuls that have included Big Brown, Eight Belles, Afleet Alex, Smarty Jones, Funny Cide, and Fusaichi Pegasus. Barbaro is also known as the Heart of America to many of his fans. Barbaro has a book written about him that focused on his injuries from the Preakness Stakes.
Cigar- As a product of Maryland's oldest breeding farm, Cigar was the first American racehorse known to have won 16 races in a row since former Triple Crown winner Citation. This retired horse is known as one of the best competitors at the Kentucky Horse Park. This thoroughbred great was the richest racehorse in America, and had his final race at the Breeders Cup Classic in 1996.
Red Rum- Known for winning the Grand National in 1973, 1974, and 1977 Red Rum is considered one of the greatest racehorses of all time throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland. Being bred to win 1 mile races, Rummy had started his career participating in cheap races as a sprinter and won a five furlong race at Aimtree Racecourse, home of the Grand National. Red Rum was once ridden by Lester Piggot during his early career. He was purchased by Ginger Mc Cain after being passed around several training yards. Red Rum was purchased for Noel Le Mare, who trained him on the sands of Southport. This helped prepare him for his many Grand National wins and has led to several books that were written about him.
These are just a few of the famous horses of the racing circuit, along with many more due to their brilliant performances, their victories, and their out of this world speed in horse races that we can learn about. They are the heart of the sport of horse racing and the spirit of what these events represent.

Siren Song: Red Lipstick Then and Now
Red. It's the colour of power, the colour of confidence, and, in the case of red lipstick, the colour of seduction. From the earliest days of history, women have been compelled to enhance what nature has given them. Vanity, it has been said, is as old as humanity.
While it isn't possible to pinpoint the very first time someone added lip colour, we do know that the women of Mesopotamia crushed precious stones and used the dust to colour their lips. Early Egyptian women used a concoction of seaweed, iodine, and bromine mannite. This was a rather poisonous price to pay for beauty and many women became very ill or even died as a result.
Cleopatra, temptress extraordinaire, preferred a safer blend of crushed carmine beetles and ants for her signature red lips. She probably added a pinch of fish scales now and then for that shimmery opalescent effect. Everybody was doing it. Well, not everybody. Makeup was for royalty and the well to do. The commoners had to make do without.
Fast-forward a few centuries to the days of Queen Elizabeth I. Here we find a more palatable shade of red adorning Elizabethan lips. Most lipstick in Europe was made from beeswax and used plant-based dyes for colour. Portraits of the Virgin Queen are plentiful and many feature her vibrant red lips.
Lip colour continued its rise in popularity until darker days banished its use in polite society. It's difficult to imagine lipstick being not only illegal, but also grounds for being tried as witch. Woe to she who seduced a man into marriage with the trickery of makeup, for it surely must be the devil's work!
Even so, lipstick was still used in the theatre, where performers were considered by the establishment to be the lowest of the low anyway. That meant it was still out there, still visible, still tempting to the common (wo)man. It was inevitable that the compulsion to enhance and adorn would rise again.
Enter the twentieth century.
With the men off at war, women had little choice but to move into the workforce. Once tasted, the feeling of independence that earning money inspired caused a cultural shift that could not be undone. The men returned, not to the demur and modest women-folk they'd left behind but to a new breed.
These women showed their legs and drank whiskey and smoked cigarettes. They painted their lips into little red cupid bows and danced the night away. It was a boom time for manufacturers of beautiful lipsticks and many of the lipstick cases of the time are artworks in their own right. It was a simple, portable luxury item that these "new women" felt they had earned. The influence of film and a general sense of worldliness combined to make fashion and makeup hugely popular and the trend continues today.
Today's red lipstick has come a long way from the poisonous pout of long ago. Modern lipstick may be made of lanolin, cocoa butter, olive oil or other emollients. The red colour may come from chemical dyes or more natural ingredients. Many lipsticks contain sunscreen and vitamins to help keep lips healthy as well as beautiful.
Red is the colour of confidence, as one glance at women who prefer red lips demonstrates: Madonna, Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Kidman; nothing mousy there. Red – it's the colour of arousal, sensuality, and has been creating a bloom on the lips of the bold and the beautiful since practically the beginning of time. Almost every woman owns one... or should.

How do you use Red Gold Corrector Plus? How many drops, and can you add it to shampoo or conditioner?
I am dying my hair with a normal developer (20) and going blonde. I normally see red and gold brassiness when I use dyes. I was given this at the beauty supply store but not sure how to use it and it doesn't come with directions.
10 drops per every ounce of color you are using. Ex: if you are using two ounces of color you would use 20 drops of the red gold corrector. I work at Sally Beauty Supply and I use this on my hair too. And yes you can add it to your shampoo, just use a few drops.
