Quick Beauty Tips That Last

  • Use bronzer on your lids. It gives your eyes a tawny, end-of-summer glow.
  • Prevent pre-period pimples. An acne fighter like Clean & Clear Persa-Gel is around 5 bucks. Apply it on your chin a week before your period. If skin gets red or peels, skip a day between uses.
  • Take a break from blow-drying. For volume without the effort, pull damp hair into a ponytail and tie with a scarf. Wind the scarf's tails, along with your hair, into a bun, to produce waves. Tie it with a big clip until hair is dry, then let it down.
Have a merry Christmas everyone! :).

Hide Those Stretch Marks!

Are you still annoyed and couldn't even wear your favorite low-cut jeans which make you very aware of those wiggly lines? According to my reads, a self-tanner helps hide those annoying lines. There are some prescriptions which are called retinoid cream which lightens them. There are also over-the-counter version which they call retinol, but results will be seen in about 3 months...hhhmmm, better than nothing at all. But the fastest solution?...wear a high-waisted jeans, lol.

Proper Wearing of Winter Mini Shorts

For cooler weather, all you need is a knee-high boots, dark tights and well-chosen layers. This is one good way to adapt a summery trend for cooler weather.
For example, you can pair a slouchy cardigan with an oversize silk blouse. Top volume will balance out the length of the shorts.
You can also layer a loose, short-sleeved sweater over a turtle neck in a black-and-white palette. It's a practical combination and easy to wear ;).
