The Gift Guide To Beautiful White Day

--By Kylie Tang—

White Day is romantic festival invented by the Japanese. Let me tell you the story of Valentine’s Day on February 14 – In 269 AD, the autocratic emperor prohibited the marriage of people to have more unmarried soldiers for his military plans. It led to secret marriages signifying bravery and true love. White Day on March 14 is relatively lovelier. The Japanese encouraged people to return gifts to the women who gave them chocolate on Valentine's Day. White candies, white chocolates and white gifts had made this day romantic.

I love these stories! How about you? COSME-DE.COM has prepared well for your White Day. You would certainly love the wide variety of makeup, skincare and health care products at attractive prices!

Visibly Firmer, More Lifted Contour

A lifted, firm contour is also a sign of youthfulness and beauty. Try Fresh Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask. This intensely moisturizing treatment works in synch with the natural nighttime recovery process to achieve a lifted, firmer look by morning. It has a corset-like effect on the skin, giving the appearance of a visibly more defined, contoured complexion. Infused with a proprietary complex of black tea ferment, black tea extract, blackberry leaf extract, and lychee seed extract, this mask inhibits damaging free radicals and helps improve skin elasticity.

Create A Perfect Canvas for Makeup 

The crucial step to creating a flawless foundation is to prime your skin because it helps increases the moisture level and corrects your skin tone. You will not be disappointed with Laura Mercier Foundation Primer. This colorless, lightweight creamy gel creates an invisible layer that acts as a buffer to outside elements. Enriched with anti-oxidizing Vitamin A, C, and E, it protects the skin from harmful, aging effects of the environment. What’s best about this primer is that it leaves your makeup looking fresh and colour-true the entire day. It can also used as a cooling gel by putting in into the fridge to refresh skin and reduce puffiness.

Innovative Compact to Cover Flaws & Blemishes 

No one would object concealer is one of the most important makeup items in your makeup bag. It covers your dark circles, conceals your blemishes, evens your skin tone, and viola, your skin looks flawless in an instant! IPSA Creative Concealer EX SPF 25 / PA+++ is a 3-color concealer compact that allows uneven skin tone areas to “assimilate” themselves with the surrounding skin tone, through IPSA’s original orange-red color tone design, which “redness” has been added.
