Guys, Five elements of a perfect shave

June 23, 2009 By: arlene Category: Aftershave, Fashion, Hair Care, Shaving 3 Comments →

Hot, wet action is what you’re after (as ever). But don’t just slap some water from the sink across your cheeks and start scraping. Shaving takes time. It’s a process—one that’s better left unrushed. Start with a warm shower. (You can shower while you shave, but why combine two of the most private, reflective periods of your day?) (more…)

Makeup must follow tips: for Beauty not Beast

June 13, 2009 By: arlene Category: Beauty, Cosmetic, Fashion, Lips Care 3 Comments →

  • Apply makeup in daylight, near a window. It will look much more natural. If you don’t have a window or it’s dark outside, you can purchase at specialty stores lightbulbs specifically designed for makeup application.
  • Update your makeup seasonally, even if it means just two new shades of lipstick. Your look will stay fresh and modern.
  • Keep your makeup brushes clean. Wash them weekly, or they’ll dry out and won’t spread makeup evenly; worse, germs may accumulate.
  • Read fashion and beauty magazines for tips and updates on new products. Experiment.
  • Give your skin a break from makeup at least once a week. More important,
    accept your face without makeup and know you look fine.
  • Don’t skimp on quality when buying tools. Be gentle and never pull on your skin when applying makeup. Apply lip balm every morning and night for smooth, moist lips.
  • Always apply loose powder immediately after putting on foundation and before adding the rest of your makeup.

Shoulder Handbag First Choice

March 31, 2009 By: arlene Category: Fashion 2 Comments →

I remembered when I was a young girl; my cousin received a crocodile shoulder handbag. That handbag was bought oversea by my uncle. At that time, my mom was used to sew her own handbags by cloth. You know, buying a handbag in market was not popular. Only few people had their handbags bought on the market. Because they made their own ones

Today, there are so many handbags made in china. It is not a good idea to have a handbag made of toxic industrial materials. By the way, most of materials are not heavy sworn. They are might be pretty looking, but they definitely are designed for your busy life. (more…)

Fashion Tips on Luggage and Briefcase

March 20, 2009 By: arlene Category: Fashion 2 Comments →

Always have a luggage or briefcase of your size, not too small too big. Don’t rush to buy a luggage bag. You have to arrange your necessary carrying things first. Don’t push all staff you don’t use in one luggage or briefcase. Months later, you may find there are some staff lying in the bottom of your luggage, but it turns out you never used it.

Own a luggage or briefcase which matches your outfit or at least matches with your shoes. It makes me remember that one of my girlfriend wear a deep purple skirt with a white sock and black shoes. Three different and distractive colors combination looks funny. Make sure your luggage or briefcase’s color doesn’t go beyond your shoes’ color so much. If you don’t have a matching luggage or briefcase, buy a black one.

Trouble with organizing? So make sure the luggage or briefcase you are going to buy has enough pockets to store your small companions: lip sticks, car keys, perfumes, sunglasses and coins.

No straps attaching luggage or briefcase look simple and fashionable, but it is the theft’s easy targets. Straps in your hand always remind you had something with you. Clutch bags are easy to forget. And you could be an easy target for a bag snatch. (more…)

My Little Sunny Sunday Day Dress

March 12, 2009 By: arlene Category: Fashion, Love 2 Comments →

I always enjoyed the Sunny Sunday afternoons in the church with my mom and neighbors drinking a cup of tea. My mom’s favorite Sunday dress was a blue background silk skirt with the beautiful rosy flowering edge. At the six o’clock, we prayed and sang. There was an old piano standing on the corner of church. My aunt played that piano for years, and everybody in the neighborhood loved her music. I thought music would be one reason that people dressed well to attend the church on the Sunday afternoons.

In my opinion, modern fashion has brought so much to our dressing style. I thought my mom old style something tight something silk skirt won’t appear in the church any more. Modern fashion dress has changed our conservative style to open style fashion to show the sexy feminine beauty. (more…)
