Catrice ~ Going Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness

Catrice Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

As you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Inspired Living, along with Catrice is turning up the pink to support this cause! Having lost my own mom to cancer, when she was just a bit younger than I am now, has made me even more passionate about breast cancer awareness!

Catrice Breast Cancer Awareness Month

It is also vital that my girls are informed and educated about this disease. Many breast lumps are harmless, but they should all be checked. Some people tend to adopt the attitude of rather not knowing and think that Cancer is something that will never happen to them. Well think again – ignorance is no way to live your life! It is important to be informed and educated, ensure that you examine your breasts regularly and if you are over 40, to go for regular check-ups to detect any abnormalities before they become life-threatening.

CatriceSA very kindly sent Inspired Living a makeup hamper to create a pink inspired makeup look! I decided to have a bit of fun with this campaign and involve my girls because well they LOVE makeup! I guess it is hard not to with a mom like me 😉 Below you can see the two looks we created and the products we used.

Pink-Makeup-Look for Breast Cancer Awareness

 

Pink Makeup for Breast Cancer Awareness

We used the following Catrice products to create this look: Eyes ~ Absolute Bright Eyeshadow Palette{using the pink and grey shadows on the top lid with a bit of highlighter below the brow bone and pink below bottom lashes}, Smokey Eyes Pencil in The Black Earl, Glamour Doll Volume Mascara. Cheeks ~ Defining Blush in Sunrose Avenue. Lips ~ Long Lasting Lip Pencil in I Got You Babe, Infinite Shine Lip Gloss in Pink Up Your Life.

Pink Makeup for Breast Cancer Awareness

To include our readers Inspired Living is also giving away two “pink” makeup hampers, similar to the image below, from CatriceSA. I know makeup will not make the disease disappear but it can add a bit of sunshine to someones life 🙂 So follow the simple steps below and show your support to Breast Cancer Awareness and the brave survivors of this disease! Please give a shout out to anyone you know who is fighting this disease, in the comment section below. If you would like to pay it forward and gift the hamper to a friend or family member, who is a breast cancer survivor, please let us know in the comment section!

Home Decor with Johnson Inkjet Tiles

Home Decor Johnson-Tiles-Fusion

Home Decor

In a few months we will be moving to new home and taking on quite a large renovation project! Although somewhat scary, I love home decor projects, especially the journey of personalising a space and making it your own. I find the process so creative and extremely satisfying.

Home Decor Natures-Inspiration

When it comes to home decor I prefer, neutral and natural-looking decor, particularly when it comes to floor coverings. Wood or natural stone costs a bomb, so I was very intrigued when I heard about Johnson Inkjet Tiles. These beautiful tiles provide a great substitute to home owners, who want to embark on home improvements and prefer the natural look, but may not have the budget for natural stone or solid wood flooring.

As I have mentioned before bringing nature into your home decor, is a good place to start your creative process, especially when looking at colour palettes. Find out which colours complement each other and exist in harmony, in nature and allow this to influence your decor choices.

Home Decor Johnson-Tiles-Fusion

Inkjet printing technology will allow for high-definition printing on uneven surfaces, such as ceramic and porcelain tiles. This has led to the development of tiles that look exactly like wood and natural stone but at a fraction of the price. So you can introduce these nature inspired elements without breaking the bank!

Home Decor Johnson-Tiles-Fusion

Tiles with a wood inkjet design can now go where wood has not gone before – wet spaces. These wood-look tiles are ideal for the bathroom and work just as well as decking on the patio, especially those with a textured finish. The latest stone prints combine different types of natural stone such as marble, slate and travertine thus featuring a variety of veining patterns.

Consumers are seeking out flooring solutions that are going to offer them value in the longest term, understanding that cheaper alternatives will not last as long, and will not wear as well. Inkjet tiles offer customers on-trend finishes that they desire without having to pay too much to get the look they’re after. ~ Richard Nuss, marketing manager for Johnson Tiles.

Inkjet tiles that imitate stone are ideal for open-plan living areas as they blend together beautifully and therefore create a seamless flow from one space to the next.

What elements from nature do you like incorporating in your interior spaces? Please let me know in the comment section below. As part of our nature inspired theme Johnson Tiles and Inspired Living are giving away a R1000 Cape Union Mart Voucher! This is our way of getting you geared up to spend more time in nature and find inspiration for your home decor!

Please complete the easy steps in Rafflecopter form below to enter and win a R1000 Cape Union Mart Gift Voucher. {Please ensure you read the *Terms & Conditions below carefully, to ensure you comply with all the entry criteria}

With its enviable location atop the crescent of The Palm, the opening of Atlantis was a landmark event. It redefined tourism in Dubai, as the first truly integrated entertainment destination resort.
