Beauty Tips, Fashion, Mini Haul

Hi Everyone! The nude pump has become the go to neutral shoe of the season. It’s a great transition shoe that doesn’t shout either winter or spring but it goes with just about everything. Nude pump also provides a fresh counterpoint to the bold patterns and vivid colors that are everywhere this season.Now what’s best about this is for those who are petite frame just like me; I found out that wearing nude pumps will also make us taller. Why? Because flesh-toned pumps are the quickest way to make our legs appear longer. Yep that’s why I love this trend so much because being on the short side it’s always great to get tips about how to get longer legs. They also go so well with a variety of clothing colors and give us petite frame the illusion of being taller than we are. So If I were I you go out there in the nude…nude shoe that is ahehehe. But remember go for the highest heel that you can tolerate and comfortably walk in. Be sure to avoid ankle straps (unless they’re flesh-toned as well), as the horizontal lines of the straps visually cuts off the legs, making them look shorter. So yeah that’s about it for today. Hope you like my tips and tricks on how to look taller! Good Luck and talk to you on my next post!

Some tips on how and how not to wear them:

Listed below are ways that women can incorporate this tasteful piece into their style closet for fashion success!

Longer Legs

Believe it or not, wearing nude pumps can create the illusion of having longer legs. It is proven that the constant color elongates the look of the legs and ankles to make women appear taller in height. Nude pumps come in various shades to match all skin types. We recommend women go to the department and shoes stores to try on and match the color with their skin tones.

User Friendly

Nude pumps can match virtually any business or business casual outfit in your closet. The neutral color adds a soft tone that will compliment almost any color and design. Nude pumps can be paired up with an all black ensemble for evening or cocktail events. It can also be worn in the day with light pastel or floral designs. Nude also looks great with basic colors such as yellow, blue and red. But nude is best paired with neutral tones such as browns, yellows, oranges, grays, tans and creams.

All Shapes and Sizes

Nude pumps can look great in any texture or style. They can range from leather to patent leather to crocodile embossed to canvas materials. These shoes can be open toe, sling backs, platforms, or mary janes etc. If shoes are leather, make sure to keep up the proper maintenance to ensure the lifetime of the shoe. The proper maintenance includes polishing shoes regularly, keeping them in their original shoe box or shoe bag, and putting them on with a shoe horn.

Beauty Tips, Mini Haul, Reviews

Hi Everyone! Sorry but I have another Clinique Haul & Review. I’ve posted a haul+review about this product before here and here but I just wanna give it another shout out lol! I’ve been using this for almost two months now and my face is very flawless.I’ve never gotten any pimples even when I’m stressed out. I love love this product. I just bought this again because i wanna stock up more before it runs out. I don’t know if it will happen but you will never know hahaha lol. Anyway, the whole set is $59.00+ tax & shipping but the original value is $75.00 and you can only buy it at the store or to their Clinique website.I prefer you buy it at the store so you won’t have to pay for the shipping cost.Such a great deal.

My Review

So far, so good. I have been using the Clinique 3-Step System (Combination oily to oily skin) for almost 2 months now and I’m more than pleased with the results. I noticed significant improvement with my complexion’s overall appearance, it’s much smoother and clearer. The Liquid Facial Soap cleans off dirt and makeup residue, without making my skin overly dry and ‘tight’ – a common problem with people with extremely dry and sensitive skin. After using the Clarifying Lotion my face feels clean, refreshed but it doesn’t strip my skin of its natural oils. Then I follow with the moisturizing gel that soaks up immediately, leaving my skin moist and plump.I’ve heard people experiencing breakouts in the first weeks from all the impurities being drawn out of their skin, then their skin started to clear up and the ‘good skin’ emerged. I sort of prepared myself for it, but it didn’t happen to me and my skin started to clear up just in a few days using the Clinique 3-Step System.

TRESemme Haul + Review!

Beauty Tips, Mini Haul

After doing some research on TRESemme and reading all the great reviews, I had to try it, and I must say it’s the only product that has worked, and worked extremely well. It’s awesome!!! It has changed not only the way my hair looks and feels it’s saving me a tremendous amount of time and money. I know this sounds like a commercial, but I assure you it is not. I’ve read alot of reviews about TRESemme because I am interested to know everything about the styling techniques of others. If you’re reading this and have hair like mine (thin, wavy and dull), I’ll tell you what is working for me: I wash my hair in the morning using the Head and shoulder Shampoo and then the TRESemme Thermal Recovery conditioner. After shower and ready to dry my hair… I spray a copious amount of Tresemme Heat Tamer on my hair, to the point where it’s sufficiently damp, but not soaking wet. I blow it dry without the use of the big round brush, then after its dry. I spray again a little bit of the Heat Tamer before I use the flat iron to straighten my hair. I add a small amount of zero frizz gel when I’m done to add extra shine. It’s taken me a very long time to figure out the best way to deal with hair like mine but it works! If this even helps one person out there, I’m glad I took the time to write this. Perhaps this will help you save a lot of time and a lot of money. I love TRESemme products!!!

TRESemme Heat Tamer Spray

Who It’s Designed For

Tresseme Thermal Recovery is meant for anyone who styles their hair every day using the heat from a blow dryer, a flat iron or a curling iron. Tresseme claims that this will restore the moisture that is lost during heat styling, and that it will leave hair soft, silky and radiantly shiny (when used with the Tresemme Thermal Recovery conditioner).

Claims

When hair becomes dull looking due to the abuse it takes from blow drying and heat styling, this shampoo claims to revive the lost shine, and also claims to repair damage and replenish lost moisture, leaving hair looking healthy. TRESemme says this can be used on a daily basis without drying out the hair.

Uses

The main purpose of Tresemmes’ Heat Tamer Spray is to protect the hair from heat. Using heating tools for the hair such as flat irons, curling irons, hot rollers and hair dryers, can cause damage to the hair and potentially dry it out. Brittle and dry hair can be avoided by using a quality heat taming spray. Tresemme Heat Tamer Spray also helps to give hair flexibility so that it holds its shape while styling, but stays soft and shiny.

How to Use?

This heat tamer spray is simple to use and you can protect your hair from heating appliances in only a few sprays of the products. Simply separate six to eight inches of hair away from the mid-shaft to ends. Spray the product on each section of hair. The product can be used on damp hair before blow drying, or on dry hair before using a heating tool such as a flat iron or curling iron.

Benefits

TRESemme’s Thermal Creations line has a variety of styling products that are specially formulated to work with heating appliances. It can help to give you the look you are wanting with just a few sprays. The product works very well and does a great job protecting my hair from heat damage. It leaves the hair completely soft, manageable and shiny all throughout the day. It doesn’t leave any extra residue, nor does it make the hair stiff or oily.

TRESemme 24 Hour Body Finishing Spray

The Finishing Spray locked my style into place without that tacky hairspray feel. I could still run my fingers through my (now thick and luscious) hair. I have not been this happy with my hair in a very, very long time.

TRESemme Anti – Breakage Conditioner

I put my poor poor hair through a lot, if it’s not blow drying, I straightened my hair everyday and as a result of this my hair is very damaged and weak. I bought this because I’ve read alot of other hair abusers that said it has worked wonders for them and I thought well why not give it a try and I’m glad I did! I have been using this for over a month now and my hair is in such better condition all the ends are less dry and its certainly more stronger now. I would definitely recommend this product!

TRESemme Thermal Recovery Conditioner

At first I was hesitant to use it because I did not know if it was going to work on my Asian hair. But it did!!! It makes my hair incredibly soft, bouncy, shiny, and somewhat moisturized, in my opinion. Another added bonus would have to be how lovely it smelt! I was quite surprised because as some of this recovery conditioner can smell quite industrial but this one has a lovely smell to it. Not only that but it has really cut down the frizziness of my hair and leaves it so soft to touch. A must have for anyone who used flat irons, curl irons, curlers, etc.
