booty under my dress




 It is quite common to see women wear boots with dresses but some of these combinations look awkward. Obviously not all dresses and boots are meant for one another. To pull off a combination of them, below is an example on how to match a pair of boots with your dress in style and color.


For a Floral Dress Select mid-calf boots, which look the most natural with floral patterns, but make sure the hemline is above the boots or else there would be an illusion of thicker legs. Forget about boots if the dress is longer than mid-calf. Don't wear ankle boots because, with a floral dress, they would create a granny-like look. Choose boots in the same hue as one of the floral pattern's colors; or go for an earth tone like brown, here I wore a bronze boots(color is close to brown), which harmonize the colors of the flowers. Adding up some feather earring to compliment my look.

I think parting my open wavy hair down the middle makes my look complete

Make Your Own Homemade Face Masks

Why pay for a face mask when you can use basic ingredients found around the house to make your own simple, hydrating masks? If you have oily or acne-prone skin, mud or clay-based masks are great for balancing out your skin. Dry skin will benefit from hydrating masks made from glycerin, honey and oils. Ginseng or green tea masks are great for soothing sensitive skin.

Today  I will be giving out ideas on how to create your own face mask and Scrubs.
 First is the Egg White and Yogurt Mask


Ingredients:
2 egg whites, separated from the yolk and placed in a bowl 

2 tablespoons of yogurt 



Preparation:

Separate the egg whites from a couple eggs and place them in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of yogurt (you can use any kind of yogurt, here I preferred the strawberry yogurt due to i really love the smell). Mix them up and apply to face. Leave on face for a few minutes then rinse face in warm water. After that I assure you a moisturize and soothing feeling.

exaggeration vs. simplicity

This is what I wore yesterday. I really wanted to dress comfortably, since I didn't want to be uncomfortable the whole day, but I also wanted to look nice and be myself.  Before going aboard I have my boyfriend took some picture of me. I intended to exaggerate my blush on and lipstick just for this picture. I hope you like it the way I do. Goodluck!

Beauty Secrets


A lot of peo­ple has been ask­ing me about my skin care prod­ucts. So to grant those requests, I’ll give you my top facial skin care prod­ucts.  Always remember that Skincare is a key factor in looking good without makeup. 

These things are my bestfriends. Sorry peeps I'm not good on taking pictures.
Foamy cream-mousse cleanser removes long-wearing makeup and sunscreens quickly, gently, efficiently. Comforts with soothing botanicals. Leaves skin feeling moist, clean, fresh. This item saves me a lot of money due to it acts a cleanser also as my make up remover. 


This is one of the only product I've ever used to exfoliate my skin. ST. IVES  really leaves my face a fresh and clean feeling.There's no horrible residue, there's no over-powering scent and best of all, there's no parabens and it contains salicylic acid!I do not reccommend using it more than once a week, this is just for once in a while.  



iWhite is so fun to use! It is like playing with clay. When you apply it on your skin, you'll feel a cool and tingly feel (like with Noxzema). The best part is, when you peel it off. You can really peel it off whole! Just let it dry 15-20 minutes. And you can actually SEE the whiteheads and blackheads stuck on it so you know that it is really effective.So, to those who have skin problems like whitieheads and blackheads, try using iWhite Nose Pack. Available in all Watsons, Mercury Drugstores, SM department stores and leading drugstores nationwide! =)













This Clarifying lotion helps you clear away pollution, dulling flakes and will give you smooth, glowing skin. It also helps your pores look to their smallest. Skin accepts moisture better. Grows more resistant to impurities. Stays healthier, younger. 






I love this product! Usually i break out from moisturizers due to my oily, acne prone skin, but this product helped me even out the texture of my skin. Gradually my scars were also less noticable after about a month of using it. This also works well underneath my makeup too.
