2.Water Bottle :


You may think that mentioning about water bottle is not necessary, i am repeating because intaking a lot of water through out the day is a primary step of having a clear skin.When it comes about bottles, i suggest you use the bottles made of aluminium.

These bottles helps o keep water cool for a long time.Keep a bottle inside your bag all time.


3.Hair combs,Hair Brush & Hair accessories :

When you are out of home for hours, its obvious that hair gets tangles & is not easily manageable.So keep a hair comb or hair brush in your purse all time.


When its come for hair accessories , keep some bobby pins , hair clips & hair bands.So when you need to manage your hair, you will get them ready in your purse.

Keep your hair accessories in a small purse, so that you do not have to search for it.


5.Face wash :


When you are outside, its usual that dust makes your face dirty.So you need to clean your face.


Choose a face wash that has a flip top cap like this. So it will be travel friendly and hygienic.

6.Sunblock / Sunscreen :


As we all know, all the sun protection stays for 2 hours.So after 2 hours you need to reapply your sunscreen or sunblock.So its a must to have it in your purse.


7.Sunglass :

Keep a good sunglass inside your purse.For a day out, your eyes need sun protection.So never step out without sunglass

Rocking Red Lips

                                                    Rocking Red Lips

Red lipcolor is a classic trend of makeup . It has been in vogue since its beginning and shows no signs of retiring yet.There are many new fashion trends of makeup like nude lip color etc.But women in red lips are always sensual.
Its not necessary that you will have to be fair skinned for putting red lipcolor.I believe red is the only color that goes perfect with all skin type & texture.You just need to find out the right red color.


Look at the following picture.Red is admiring all the skin tone.

Red lipcolor for different tones:

How to choose perfect red lipstick?


First of all , Apply the red lipstick on your upper lip. Now look into a mirror. If the shade of red is darker than your lower lip, it will suit you well. If not, then this red is not for your skin tone.


Various colors for various skin tone :


Fair skinned ladies should look for- blue-based reds like plums, berry, crimson or cherry instead of shocking red. Some picture so that you can find the right one for you.

A berry red lip color :

A crimson red color it tends to tomato red almost :

A cherry red color :

True reds like scarlett, cherry will pop up beautifully against medium complexion. Try to stay away from orange-based reds as it will make you look too pale.

A scarlett red :

Dark-skinned women should go for warmer and deeper shades of red like burgundy, brick, cranberry, sangria, garnet etc. Gold-based and orange-based reds will also go great with dark skin.

A burgandy is not perfectly red but it is included

How to put on red lipstick :

-Exfoliate your lips and then moisturize them well before using red.

-Apply foundation on your lips. This will make a smooth base for you to apply on the lipstick. Be sure to apply it also evenly on your face and around your lips.

-After the foundation has dried, outline your lips with a lipliner. Doing so will prevent your lipstick from bleeding at the edges. You wouldn't want to look like a clown when that happens. Also, make sure that the lipliner matches your lip color.

-The next steps involve the lipstick application. You must apply the lipstick twice so that the red color will last long. In the first application, you need to blot your lips after with a tissue. Then, re-apply the second layer to achieve that long-lasting effect. When you apply your lipstick, it is best to use a lipbrush. You must first apply the color to the center of your lips and then brush it toward the edges. 

-Pair your red lipstick with red nails .

-Keep the rest of the makeup natural and simple. Let your lips be the focus.

Hope you are gonna rock your lips by red.Good luck. <3
