Make-up Is The Best Accessory

January 8, 2015 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 1 Comment

Your face is your greatest asset. It is the first piece of you people notice. Most of the time, we forget our face and focus on spending on clothes and shoes, forgetting make-up is our best accessory. It is necessary to invest in our hair and skin. After all, looking good is good for business.

Like Karl Lagerfeld said

To reinvent a newly impeccable you in the most modern of outfits, don’t skip on make-up, and be sure to have a flawless skin and hair. That will have more impact than expensive clothes

Here are some beauty/make-up products to consider:

Lipstick

Never leave your home without a bit of lipstick. Matte lipsticks are great for the winter months. MAC’s Ruby Woo is an example of a bold matte look you can go for:

Bobbi Brown Blackberry lipstick is also a semi-matte, creamy lipstick that may look lovely on you:

Lip-Color

Powder/Foundation

With the right powder/foundation, you can face anything. Iman second to none gives you the coverage you need along with the perfect powder finish. You get two for the price of one:

Eye Shadow

You wear your face everyday, spice your look up with your eye shadow. I love the fashion fair multilevel eye shadow compact palette. The shades are fabulous and long-lasting:

Mascara

Mascaras can do things with your eyes, you never thought were possible. Finding the right one, takes a lot of trial and error. They’re Real Mascara by Benefit seems to be the one for many. It is currently the UK’s bestselling mascara:

Hypnose Star mascara by Lancome is also a good buy. It is great for creating the impact of false eyelashes:

Eyeliner

Eyeliners define your eyes like no other, that is when they are applied correctly. Rimmel Exaggerate eye liner does the job:

Lipgloss

The right lipgloss is just the right highlight you need for your lips. NARS Cosmetics Turkish Delight lipgloss is a perfect choice:

The Chanel Wild Rose lipgloss is a fantastic shade too:

These are just samples you could look out for when next you are in a beauty store. Remember the famous Helena Rubinstein’s words

There are no ugly women, only lazy ones.

 

 

 

 

 

The Yin & Yang Of My Personal Style (Winter Series) Part 1

I cannot live without certain winter essentials. Living without these items will leave me with nothing but a dull and uninspiring winter wardrobe.

  • Black Opaque Tights

Every girl needs a few pairs of black opaque tights this winter. A good pair of tights can change your entire appearance, giving you the “wow” factor. It is best to go for quality when it comes to tights, you enjoy them for much longer when you do.

Black opaque tights have a way of making your legs appear longer and slimmer. I just got a new pack some weeks ago from my local Boots shop and I am looking forward to rocking it. I have a couple of outfits in my head so watch this space.

  • Ankle Boots/Hi-Tops

This is a must have for any stylish winter shoe collection. You can wear ankle boots/hi-tops with a lot of outfits, I will be wearing mine with skinny jeans and skirts this season. I love the masculine/feminine look ankle boots creates, it changes your entire look for the better. My current favourites are this Dune hi-top wedge trainers (picture above) and my NOSE ankle boots here.

  • The Knitted Cardigan

It is wise to invest in a proper knitted cardigan this season to keep you warm and stylish. Knitted cardigans are investment pieces, very stylish and practical, they will never go out of style. My current favourites are this new season Glamorous cardigan (picture above) and this cream Dorothy Perkins cardigan(picture below).

Knitted cardigans are also useful in the spring and autumn months as a light cover to keep you stylish and warm.

  • The Classic Coat

A classic winter coat is a necessity for every wardrobe this season. I like having a couple of winter coats/jackets in various styles and colours to spice up my wardrobe and jazz up my appearance. My current favourite is this Ted Baker coat (Picture above). You will be seeing a lot of this pretty coat this winter.

  • The Investment Bag

River Island Dress

This is the bag to spend a few hundreds or thousands on. It will likely last you a lifetime, if not more. The more expensive your investment bag is, the longer it stays with you, most likely, and if your daughters are lucky, they could even inherit them. You cannot go wrong with the right bag. My current investment bags are my DKNY, Karl Lagerfeld and my precious Michael Kors.

Which item can you not live without this season?
