Today we are celebrating glorious curves! Accentuating your waistline can be very tricky. That's why we have chosen 4 comfy yet stylish looks anyone (no matter your body shape) can easily pull off. You think hide, we say highlight! Scroll down and learn how to streamline your overall look with our tips and tricks.

1. Create The Illusion

Two simple colors, that's all it takes! Colorblocking is a great way to create the illusion of having a smaller waist. Look for dresses with geometric shapes or where the sides are darker and taper in towards the middle. Let the light central color stand out and the rest will fade away.

2. Belt It Up

You don't have much time? This quick and easy tip is the way to go. Pick out a belt and create the perfect hourglass figure in just a few seconds. A belt will help create a waistline on any look!

3. Combine A Solid Skirt With A Striped Top

Horizontal stripes, combined with a high-waisted skirt in a solid color like white, black or blue will make your waist look smaller! This is because the horizontal stripes visually work as a belt which will show off your beautiful curves and waistline.

4. Accentuate Your Look With Jewellery

You will want to pull your curve-highlighting look together with the right jewellery. Longer earrings and necklaces will highlight your shoulders. A stack of glittery bracelets can draw attention to your hips. These simple details will complete your outfit and will give you confidence!

How To Deal With Under-Eye Puffiness

We might not be able to prevent ageing, but we sure can help slow the process down!...

Everyone has experienced puffiness under the eyes; whether it's due to a late night out, drinking too many glasses of wine, lack of sleep or after a salty meal. Don't worry, the bags under your eyes are totally normal as you get older. The tissues around your eyes weaken with age, including some of the muscles that protect your eyelids. Therefore we have picked out 12 different products that can help you to get rid of the puffiness under your eyes.

Eye Masks

There are masks for just about everything;  the face, body, lips and even the eyes. These masks are designed to minimaze the puffiness under your eyes. Apply these masks right after you shower and when your make-up is removed.

Jade Roller

We know what you might thinking... what is a jade roller? Well, a jade roller is a facial massage tool that is made from a jade stone. This stone consists of many healing properties; is naturally cool to the touch and good to help reduce puffiness. Most of the jade rollers have two ends- a larger and a smaller side. In bigger areas of your face (forehead, cheeks and chin) the larger side is used and the smaller side is used for the hard to reach areas of your face (under eyes).

There are three steps to use the jade roller: 

step 1: Remove your make-up and make sure you have a clean face.

step 2: Moisturize your skin.

step 3: Roll it out using the small end. Roll from the inner eye to the outer corner. Repeat this 10 to 15 times.
