Buying the Perfect Toner for every skin type

 

      Often a subject of confusion in skincare, toner is actually an essential source of nourishment and hydration. Different formulations address a multitude of issues and purposes like oiliness,damaging,whitening etc.In addition the function of toner's is to complete the cleansing of your skin—removing the dust, pollution, and impurities that can still be lingering after washing with a cleanser, as cleansers usually contain ingredients such as oil, which can leave a film on your face.Here are some products that you can actually use: 

                                                       Neutrogena Alcohol Free Toner

How do you use a toner? "After using a cleanser with warm water and a washcloth, splash your face with cold water. Then, saturating two cotton pads, use toner on your face, neck, and décolletage at night to complete the cleansing of the skin, and in the morning to remove sebum produced during the night and to balance your skin's pH. Finish by applying your treatment products and/or cream." (Mackenzie Wagoner)

The Ultimate Guide for Plus size Girls

For all the plus size ladies out there, it can be a small, small world out there. Shopping for consistent sizes that actually fit is difficult for anyone, but when you being under 5' 5" to the mix, drowning in everything you try on is a very real predicament. From too-tight pants inseams to tight  sleeve lengths, and also the perfect pair of jeans for every woman.there just seems to be a little too much of everything for those with bigger frames.

While your weight and height should never stop your from wearing anything you want (yes, even the high-waisted trouser trend and also those cute dresses), it's sometimes nice for clothing items to come pre-tailored to your size or a bigger size than the usual one. The stores ahead understand your gripes and have taken plus size sizing into their own hands. That's why i made a guide for all the women who lacks of confidence to boost it and to show what they really want to wear and flaunt.

1) Dont be shy - We only live once so dont be shy wearing all the clothes you wanted to wear even before, just because your a plus size you cannot wear everything.You could actually be your own unique personal style in wearing and flaunting the style that you want.

2)Smile and be patience- patience is virtue some people, when you want to find the perfect pair of heels you have to earn and wait for it to come.Its also a phrase that we can use in our lives girls, dont lose hope when you cant have the clothes or stuff you want to have but you cant becuase of being a plus size there are other way, First is find and search for other options or do a diy to own a stuff barely wanted.

3)Love yourself- you should always feel loved and be loved by all the people around you.Weight is just a number that you can subtract or divide if you have a motivition and willingness to achieve your dreams.But always remember to love yourself with or without fats,with or without tiger lines, with or without fluffy cheeks,Love your self.

Patches to Love

    2017 is a year full of extra ordinary fashion like the pastel color, Denim on denim and also the hottest trends which is the Patches. Patches are those cute design that you can put in your pants or in almost everything clothing that you could patch up it is usually convenient for someone that wants to patch their stuffs if something is wreck or ripped. Or they only want a new design for their old stuff.

    Patches boomed when it is on a denim jacket some fashion blogger and artist are wearing and working it on the lime light like the lovely couple which is Jadine and also some international models too. But sometimes overly using of patches can never go out of hand, well fortunately its looks good on some clothing. But if you will put a patches on your flowery designed shirt or polo, don’t, just don’t because sometimes it will not compliment with the clothing’s you patch up with. It will look great on a plain shirt or even a pants that you cannot wear anymore or if you feel like it’s too plain for you can do some creative stuffs with your old stuffs to make it look new and in for the trends.

     Gucci also made its way to the hottest trends and topic when to talk about fashion and style. Gucci revealed there new design of white and black sneakers with patches on it .Like a floral, heart and also an arrow patches.Unfortunately it cost an arm and a leg because of its unique design and style some people bought it. Well it has a good quality of foot wear.

 

    

        

   But if you’re just like me that doesn’t have enough budget but want to go for a stylish outfit and stuff then I have a tip for you. If you want to have Gucci sneaker we can make an alternate option of that, just follow this tips to achieve that kind of shoes:

1.    Find or Buy a canvass shoes (any color that prefer) if you want a not so pricey shoes you could purchase a plain canvass shoes  at any SM department stores its range of cost is only for 300-400 php.   
   
2.       Buy any patches that you want to design in you canvass shoes, but if you want to achieve Gucci floral shoes,  find floral patches thru online stores that sells something like that. (For the Floral patches it will range at 30-120 php but for other design it will range only at 15-80 php only.)

  3.    The most appropriate solution to use to patch the shoes to the patches is definitely epoxy or you could do sew it to have a great quality because if you use the flat iron your shoes could be damaged and sometimes it can go out of the shoes because it doesn’t have a strong support to patch the shoes with the patches that why I prefer epoxy glue or sewing techniques.

4.   After that let it sit and dry for one day to make sure if it will be set and ready to wear.

I Hope you could use this tips and by  making your DIY white Gucci shoes.

Clarissa's Guide: Owning your Personal Style

              Hi guys! So I'm just going to share some of my personal style and  tips on how to have your own personal style by making a statement and owning it.

                   

  (The romper was bought at Sm Department Store at Gtw Fab for only 899.750)

I have this style that whenever I see a piece that will go with some of my other clothes, I will purchase it already.But i always think twice if its a great deal to buy and if it really dwells and goes well with my body shape. I have a Apple/Circle Body Type,its means that i have a relatively narrow shoulders and hips and I'm fuller around the middle. That's why its very hard for me to purchase a clothes because of my waistline and also my thigh is big lol. Here's the first tip for you guys, when your thinking of buying a clothes think  first, If you can actually use it and if your'e comfortable wearing it.Because fashion is not only for style but also for comfort.

  (Another Romper bought at Gtw fab FOR 899.75) 

(White shoes: Cotton on 799.95) 

   When I'm owning a piece, I always put a twist and  a unique way of owning that outfit,Because not all people have an outfit that is only one pair in the entire world. So I mix & match some of my clothing, so i can wear it twice or thrice in school whenever were having a civilian day.So for the second Tip Be Creative in coordinating your clothes, don't be shy wearing clothes that you think, will make people attract attention.So what it's your stage go shine and stand out in the crowd and own your personal style.

2017 Hair Trends: Top 3 hair style you should try

  

      Last 2016 hair trends were all about throwback styles and colorful — like the high-top fade, the Gatsby bob and also the two tone hair color and knot now hairstyle. But for this year there’s a speculation or humor that the new trends for 2017 is for short haired people and also for someone who loves to have an experiment with their hairstyle. So I made a research on what is going to be hot this 2017.

Mid-Length Chop

       The bob has been wildly popular for years, but 2017's rendition is a bit different. Mid-length Chops is for every girl who is rocking a shoulder-length hairstyle you just need to add a few layers to achieve this kind of style. It’s actually a great hairstyle for rounded face because it makes their shape of face a little thinner and it makes there face glow up. I have tip for those who already achieve this hairstyle, if you want to have a hair color go for a lighter shade of blonde and brownish black to make your color more vibrant.

This kind of hairstyle is very popular in the Milan fashion show and also some model like Hailey Baldwin who’s rocking her beachy waves.

The Bob

    The slightly A-line, longer bob that brought the same beach wave texture of long hair up to the collarbones. This trend is for 2 years now and still reigns again for another year. But for 2017 it has a twist, the bob has gone decidedly French with an ear-length crop, complete with mini bangs to match. This kind of hairstyle goes with the oval face, because this kind of shape is the ideal shape merely because it can wear nearly any hairstyle and its suits well with their face very well. For the hair color you won’t have any problem with that just stick with what color you want because this kind of hairstyle is go for all types of shade. Just be careful in changing the hair color because your hair might be damaged.

This hairstyle was seen by Taylor Swift but her hairstyle was a bit different because it has this edgy and rock style. Well same it goes with other artist, model and also an actress.

Pixie Hair

   The choppy Hair cut or also known as the Pixie hair cut is originated in the Roaring Twenties, when women first became liberated. But some find it as a hairstyle that makes them looks fierce and make their features stronger as a woman. It looks as a short hair made its way not to relay on long hair as a beautiful but also for choppy cuts, because it makes them look sexy and fierce. This Hairstyle is best suit with an Oval Shape Face to enhance the shape of the face and to make the whole features stand out.

This kind of hairstyle was already rocked by the famous Zendaya, the Disney channel artist and model and also Lily Collins.

          This 3 hairstyle that I summed up is, only my observation and findings, on what is the best hairstyle for this year. Of course all of you could do this hairstyle but always think twice if it will suit you face shape and your taste.
