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!

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.

suds, it was hard to make them

Pros:
- this one have a really nice smell, it doesn't smell soapy like other shampoos, and the smell stays in your hair for a long time :)
- cheap.
- cleans hair very well, with one wash all the sebum/dandruff in my hair have disappeared.
- doesn't make hair as frizzy as other shampoos do.
- makes hair very soft.

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.

Rating: 4.5/5

What does your makeup say about you ?

Looks controls most of our thoughts/first impression of other people. What are they wearing? Accessories? colours ? even makeup. All of these are ways of showing how do you think about yourself, and the importance of others for you. and what do you want them to think about you.

Makeup changes people impression about your personality, at least that what the recent study on PLOS website says.

The study was carried on by passing photos of the models on the recipients, on some photos the model won't be wearing makeup, while on others she'll be wearing makeup, varying from barely there to party makeup.

Studies showed that wearing makeup changes the way people see/judge a person.

For example: a model wearing light/natural makeup makes you think that she is confident and loved and it also makes her more attractive. And studies says that the more attractive and impressing the person is, the more confidence he is, which leads to success in work and life.

The more Daring a woman is in wearing her makeup, the more confidence and couragous vibes she gives.

Also studies have shown that the more makeup you wear, the more people will start thinking that you lean toward being irresponsible self-centered person. sometimes showy or have low self-esteem.

Contrary to what was expected, the study showed negative results for women with no makeup, as it gave impression that she doesn't take care pf herself, pale, and a somewhat depressed, like there is something on her mind that is overstraining and fatiguing her. And maybe she is not hard working in her job, and doesn't care what other people think about her and her social presence.

Studies also shown that there is a huge impact for lipstick on what people think about you. The more obvious/bold it is, it gives an impression of more confidence and that you are strong enough to try new stuff and success in doing what you want. also the study shown that wearing lipstick have a good impact on the people surrounding you.

Finally, Everything in balance gives a good impression for others. All you have to do is find the colours that match you and express your personality and accent your features, Because that leaves a good impression on the people around you :)  

Wish you good like with your makeup today!
