FROM STYLE GURUS: carrying hobos and totes in style.

Our bags are more to us than just an accessory, They are our friends carrying all our goodies for us.All of us have bags that we are emotionally attached to. So the accessory that holds our emotions should also work well with our ensembles.
Those women whose policy is to  just grab and go, prefer one bag till it wears out. For such women bags in neutral colors are ideal, like grey,brown,terracotta,pastels or the classic black and white.Bright color bags come with one major drawback they will not work with your entire wardrobe.
Flashy clutches are good for those times when you have a toned down ensemble like a semi casual office attire. One key point to remember is that you carry pouch works in sync with your skintone.
Short and slim ladies should avoid oversized ones.they will drag you down, medium sized bags will work fine.

beauty wedge : importance of skin care in early 20's.



PC: her campus.com
Early 20’s are the most blissful years of a women’s life. The very stage where we are busy with our education and career. We tend to overlook the importance of having a good regime during this time period. As per skin specialist a well pampered skin in early twenties will throughout the life stay by your side. That means no rosacea and defiantly delayed crow’s feet .
After waking up in the morning first thing all women do is washing their faces.  So it’s necessary that your face wash is as per your skin, your face wash should be carefully chosen. Since it’s a daily use product it shouldn’t over dry your skin.
Next step is applying a light weight,non greasy moisturizer right after washing your face because  washing makes your skin thirsty, it’s been deprived of its moisture so before your skin works hard to make moisturizer for itself you should aid you skin. Applying moisturizer regularly is an important step in delaying wrinkles.
Sun block or sunscreens with a minimum of SPF 60 are essential especially for women living in Karachi. People  in Pakistan are not much aware of sunscreen and their benefits. Sunscreen protects your skin from a lot of damage that you might not feel every day but the damage is gradual and mostly irreversible. This damage includes over drying of  skin, acne, sunburns, tanning, age spots and wrinkles.
Do do use a good quality eye cream to treat the puffiness and tired eyes look that is intiaiton of heavy dark circles treat them early before they get worse
for extra prep up own a night time range as well, but do let your skin breath product free for some hours of the day.
Foundations,concealer, blush should be used often but not daily as they tend to make your skin go from bad to worse. If you really need to use makeup,a dab of powdered foundation or tinted moisturizer is fine. The best policy is to avoid regular use of makeup.
