One. Use concealer!
Concealer is essential in such conditions! Apply it in a thin layer on top of the nose (which becomes red), and under the eyes to mask dark circles. 
Two. Exfoliate dead skin on your lips
Sometimes low temperatures can lead to cracking lips. To solve this problem and have soft lips, it's best to exfoliate! Get a face towel and soak it in warm water and then rub your lips gently to remove dead cells, or you can make a DIY lip exfoliation. Then apply a layer of moisturizing lip balm, over which you can apply and some color.
Three. A glowing skin with a shimmer blush
Exfoliate your face with a scrub, then apply your foundation.Define your makeup with a blush that have pearl particles/shimmer. This product will bring you, literally, the color in the cheeks and give you radiant beauty.
Four. Without black tears!
Another product that helps enormously when you have cold is waterproof mascara. Unlike eyeshadows that fade almost immediately when tears come out, waterproof mascara will make your eyes look bigger and brighter! As you weep, the mascara last.

How to visually reduce the size of your feet

Not all girls have tiny feet like like Thumbelina - some have to hide their rather big feet. 
today I'll give you several tricks on how to visually reduce the large size of your foot and wear the shoes that you like!
2749438_9PuSenJYEoo_1_ (700x523, 68Kb)


Shoes with heels. It visually reduces the size of your feet. But it depends on the size of the heel. High Heel visually reduces the size of the feet.Very low heel does not have such an effect, but makes your feet look big. Therefore, preference should be given to shoes with high or middle heels. 
Shoes with rounded toes (the front part of the shoe). Girls ashamed of their big feet, should avoid wearing pointed shoes, because it makes your foot looks longer than it already is. The recommended shoes are the ones with square or classic rounded toe.
Dark shades. As we all know black is a slimming colour, hat's why people with big feet are advised to wear shoes in dark colours. This can be purple, navy, brown, etc as long as it is dark. It is advisable to avoid pastel and bright colors. 
Open shoes. Footwear that bares too much of your foot skin (I know this needs to be rephrased), visually increases the size of your feet. Whereas other shoes, like open-toed for example visually reduces its size. Sandals also should be chosen with thick straps.
Accessories. such as tabs, ribbons and buckles, visually help to reduce the size of your feet. 

When you go out to buy new shoes, it is  preferable to consider advice listed above, but most importantly - your shoes should be comfortable.

Review: Revone Shampoo


Hola !

It have been ages since I posted on my blog :(
I was busy with college and my camera had no batteries, but I am back and have a product review :)
This is going to be a Shampoo review, I bought this one yesterday because my previous shampoo isn't working anymore (my brother started letting his cockatiel out and I am allergic to it, my whole body-including my hair- became very itchy itchy, and I was so desperate I used CYTEAL Antiseptic foaming solution - it cured the extremely bad allergy on my leg- and I washed my hair with it. the good thing it that cured the allergy from the cockatiel, but the bad thing is that it made my scalp very oily to the point that sebum can build up overnight and in the morning I would find a beige coloured layer covering my scalp.. sorry for disgusting you)
Anyway, Since head&shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo didn't work at all, I went out and bought another one, it is by a Turkish brand called Revone cosmetics, I never heard of this brand before and I couldn't find anything about it online.

Cons:
- It kills my curls (my hair is actually 2C but, it can look like 3A if I keep twisting it while it is wet. but if I lie down/lean back, or if I roll my hair in a bun, my curls would flatten and look like 2A).
- It somewhat strip the moisture from hair (I am not sure this counts nagative, my sster didn't have this problem, but since my hair is actually dry and not oily, this makes it shine less).

Repurchase: yes, but probably for normal or dry hair.
