Beauty Pick of the Week

My beauty pick of the week is a Powder Blush from Almay. I have extremely sensitive skin which seems to be getting worse as I get older and I have found that Almay caters for people with sensitive skin. Their products are Hypo-Allergenic and very gentle on the skin.

I usually use no 01 Natural in the Almay Powder Blush in summer, as I find it gives you a natural sun-kissed glow but I decided to try the 04 Pink for winter. I am loving the colour, it gives me a pretty rosy cheek. For a seamless well blended blush application I have started using a Kabuki brush, which feels so soft, like feathers caressing your cheeks.

Another Almay product that I love is the Clear Complexion One-Step Compact Makeup, which gives create coverage and as it is in compact form makes for easy application on the run.

Look of the Week

My look of the week this week features the gorgeous Penelope Cruz. She looks absolutely stunning in this super sexy purple lace Pucci, off the shoulder dress. The style is form-fitting and compliments her amazing figure perfectly and I love, love, love her shoes. The look is pulled together with her coordinated purple clutch and purple nail polish. She definitely looks the picture of elegant sophistication!

Style Colour Trends

I have become slightly obsessed with the gorgeous jewel tones that are taking the fashion world by storm. Beautiful shades of amethyst, sapphire, emerald, teal, ruby, garnet and citrine are every where you look, from accessories to nail polish. I thought I would share a few of the jewel-toned accessories that have found their way into my wardrobe recently.

Style colour trends have moved away from the brighter neon colours and in their place you will find this gloriously rich colour palette. If you are not very adventurous with colour, then start by introducing the palette in your accessories.

This is one of my favourite Essie shades for winter, Trophy Wife, a gorgeous deep teal with a beautiful pearl sparkle. I have also found beautiful jewel toned eye-shadows from Revlon, which you can find out more about here.

A few jewel toned styles from the catwalk and high-end fashion boutiques this season, for a bit of style inspiration.

The accessories featured above are from Accessorize { *Turnlock Lady Bag R299, Teal Drop Earrings R149, Teal & Gold Bangle R129} and Mr Price {Scarf R89}. *Approximate retail prices

Beauty Pick of the Week

My beauty pick of the week this week is my latest nail polish purchase, a very pretty Essie shade called “Lady Like”. Lady Like is an elegant soft mauve and is perfect for all seasons, it looks amazing with strong bright colours, like magenta and teal which are trending this winter, as well as with summery whites or natural colours. It is a wonderfully feminine colour and a bit of a change from the bolder colours that I have been wearing on my nails lately.
