Should I wear face and/or body sunscreen everyday? Which products would you recommend?

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 04:04:00 -0400

I always say sunscreen on your face, neck and decolletage , every day, without fail - as that are the areas most susceptible to sun damage. Putting aside the fact it will make a world of difference to your skin in 10-20 years time and you’re protecting against cancers, right now sunscreen applied every day will refine pores and boost moisture. UV rays do all kinds of damage, and applying sunscreen even if you’re only outside for 10 or so minutes can help you avoid so much of it.

As for the rest of your body, I tend to judge that by what clothes are being worn and what skin is exposed. If you’re going to the shops in jeans + a shirt, you don’t really have to worry. But if you’re going out in shorts and a singlet top to a park or something similar, definitely apply it.

Hi! wanted to know what you think of peplums. I'm a pluser-sized girl, not heavy but not tiny size 0 I guess and saw a few online but cannot figure if they are going to accentute bad areas or not?

I think most of them can look really pretty, and on any shape they tend to create the illusion of a slightly more nipped-in waist, which is always flattering :)

What do you think of crop tops? For example, like worn by miley cyrus? I'm not sure if they look appropriate (for summer) or not...

Tue, 11 Sep 2012 07:46:00 -0400

I like them if they’re worn right, and they’re definitely a summer thing! With maxi skirts, under a jacket, with high-waisted pants/jeans, anything along those lines, they can look great. Not a big fan of them with barely-there ripped up shorts and all of that, but it all comes down to personal taste :)

What is your advice on outgrowing bangs? The longer they become the more retarded it looks and bobbypins just won't do :(

I’ve never had a fringe/bangs that I’ve grown out without some weird awkward stage for a few weeks until it gets to length thats kinda workable, but depending on how long it is right now, curlers can help quite a lot. Just loose curls with a 38mm or so barrel give it a bit of body and a better look. Also, side parts can help, sweeping it all around to one side plays down the difference in the rest of your hair vs the parts growing out.

Hey, what would be the best foundation for that really summery dewy/shiney look? I need some coverage but anything that gives me enough makes me really matte and dull!

Sun, 26 Aug 2012 06:29:00 -0400

Giorgio Armarni Luminous Silk is probably one of the best for that sort of look. It’s not the most coverage-y foundation out there, but it’s definitely enough to even out your skin and cover minor imperfections. It looks really natural and glowy with or without finishing powder :)

Hope you can help with this miss :) I'm transferring to a basically uniform-less college in a few weeks (have been at one with a uniform) and I'm there 5 or 6 days some weeks. Trying to work out what to do about having different outfits basically every day? I can't spend a lot but really need to stock up :)

I’d usually say go for quality pieces that’ll last but in this case you don’t want to spend too much and you’d need a fair bit to be able to play around with different outfits each day, so just go for places like Asos & Romwe - don’t worry if the clothes will or won’t last a 1000 washes or anything, it’s just a cost effective way to dress for school/college and you won’t be worried about ruining them in any way on transport or with the constant wear and tear :)

Ive recently become obsessed with chiffon just like everyone else and american apparel has a chiffon shawl cardigan and i was wondering if you knew of a store that might have one similar for cheaper or should i buy the one from AA. its fifty eight dollars if you were wondering.

Just had a quick look over a few sites with similar items and American Apparel is probably the best for that price definitely. There’s a few cheaper ones on F21 & such but they don’t look quite as nice :)
