Animal prints: The good, the bad and the ugly

  Hello everyone! Today I'm going to do a quick review on animal print fashion since I'm a very big fan of prints and I know most of you are so welcome to the fashion jury!


zara leopard print dress 

  This is actually one of my favourite, the leopard print dress. I have a similar one in my closet. Its very classy and I like the way it looks on the model so Its definitely a DO!

 Satin, lace, leopard print and cleavage? Well this would make a good lingerie, besides that DON'T!





This would have been a great outfit but I don't like the whole combination! Too busy.



rihanna, beyonce and miley 

This is my celebrity inspiration. Its definitely something I'd duplicate.




nicki minaj 


 Ok this is nicki minaj in the 2011 grammy awards. She is completely covered in prints... Whats your take on this look?

This isn't working for me!


   Its really easy to pull off an animal print look, it all depends on the combination. If you overdo it, you'll end up looking really tacky. It doesn't have to be a dress, you can always accessorize. Try animal print bags, shoes, belts or hair pieces. Don't forget to stick to a few colours and be confident!
  I've put together two awesome animal print outfits, feel free to recreate these looks.






Short leopard print dress from Miss Selfridge
Peacock feather earrings from planet funk
Louboutin gold robot heels
Gold choker necklace
Black beaded sequin purse
  And for my second look;




Leopard print jacket
Short black evening dress
Gold beaded necklace
Bright red clutch bag
Yves Saint Laurent red platform shoe.
 
  I hope you like my review on animal print fashion, I've shown you the good, the bad and the ugly so that's all for today.

Quick and easy make up

 Hey everyone! I've been experimenting with make up a lot these days and today I'm just going to show you my different looks plus they're all easy to recreate.

nude look
 So this is my first look and this is the nude look. You need little or no make up at all. With mac studio fix you're good to go!

 My eye shadow is actually a mixture of different colours but it doesn't look too colourful because of my blending technique.

   We have;  Petite zigzag printed dress
Beige oversize padlock bag
Orange mary jane heel
Gold diamond shaped feather earrings
Gold drape necklace.
 I chose this look because its classy casual  and easy to recreate so if you have a theme like this, you can throw your personal style into it and you're good to go.

Top ten beauty essentials

 Hey guys! This is my first post and I'm thrilled to share my very own beauty essentials. Every item listed can be used by women of different ages and its just something every lady should have. So here it is....


chanel bright red lipstick
10. The red lipstick: Ladies, lets face it, we all have that super bright red lipstick in our make up bags. Well not exactly all of us but most of us that wear lipstick. I couldn't think of anything better! Whether its chanel, YSL or dior, or even any affordable make up brand, consider it a must have.


Johnson's aloe vera baby oil


9. Baby oil: Expect the unexpected. Most women wont consider baby oil as one of the essentials but the truth is, anything multi purpose is very important. Its good for harsh weather conditions if you don't want to use lotion and ill recommend it for women with dry, ashy skin.


O.P.I nude nail polish


8. Nude nail polish: Any type of nail polish is good, depends on you style and your skin tone and pretty much anything that suits you. Nude nail polish is on the safe side for days when you don't want your outfit to clash with your nail polish (yes, its possible).


elf black liquid liner 


7. Liquid liner: Do I need to elaborate? liquid liner is a must have in every make up purse. It doesn't matter the brand you use, as long as its not messy. Elf products are one of the most affordable make up brands of good quality.You can send me an email if you want to purchase this product or simply go to the website.


clinique hand cream


6. Hand cream: Keep your hands soft, moisturized and smelling good with your portable hand cream. Beauty experts recommend hand cream for both men and women of different ages with any skin tone.


Neutrogena bath and shower gel



5. Bath gel: Hmm, what could be more relaxing? Neutrogena vitalizing shower and bath gel will keep you relaxed and smelling fresh.


Mac beauty wipes 



4. Beauty wipes: Sleeping with make on can cause you a break out so facial wipes are important. Before you go to bed or anytime you choose to wipe your make up off.


Vaseline lip therapy 



3. Lip balm: This actually lasts more than most products... Vaseline lip therapy, its also very affordable and you can get it in your local drugstore.


L'oreal concealer


2. Make up concealer: It doesn't matter what brand of concealer you choose to use, as long as it goes with you skin tone and covers all those unwanted spots we've been trying to get rid of.


Mac compact powder 


1. Compact powder: We've come to the end of this countdown with the most essential beauty product... If your're using any compact powder it HAS to blend with your skin tone. Mac has a variety of colours from light to dark skin tones so be sure to find the shade that suits you perfectly....
