Royal Love

Don't forget to watch history in the making tomorrow as Prince William and Kate Middleton exchange their vows that transport the world into a fairytale moment!!

Enjoy being fixated on the glitz and glam while indulging on cucumber sandwiches and strawberries and cream during high tea!!

Lip Service

This winter, the one thing that needs to be kept close to heart is the appearance of ones' lips!! Both babes and boys need to pay attention to the condition of their assets that give 'lip service'. ;)

"Blotting lipstick with your finger presses colour into the lips, and will create a stain that will last" - Bobbi Brown

Whether it is bright and bold or pale and subtle, your lips will say it all this winter.

Colour yourself happy

Quote Me, With Love

A world class icon, role model and inspiration, Marilyn Manroe said it better than most in a few wise words...  

"Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world."



Throw Some Glitter, Make it Rain



I think that glitter is the most amazing thing. I absolutely love how it sparkles and shines when it gets hit by a ray of light and somehow, it brings out the goodness of your soul through your eyes, the happiness in your heart and it just makes you feel so damn good because your shining!! YES, it's messy and gets transferred onto other people easily, but to me, it feels like the love and sheer joy for something so simple is being shared. So... THROW SOME GLITTER, MAKE IT RAIN!!

Flawless Beauty and Creativity






Make Me Over

For all you make-up lovers, artists and wannabes, this is a step to step procedure for applying basic make-up to the face in minimal time...
  1. Cleanse your face and moisturize it thoroughly.
  2. Apply concealer to cover all imperfections. Be sure that the colour is tested before hand, either on your forehead or jawline.
  3. Using a latex make-up sponge, apply your foundation to your skin in a downward motion in the direction of your hair growth and be sure to blend it in well.
  4. Apply powder to the face using a powder puff and ensure that the eyelids are powdered too for a sleek, matt effect.
  5. Apply some blusher to the apple of your cheeks or directly underneath your cheekbones.
  6. Using a round tipped brush, apply a natural looking eyeshadow to the eyes and blend it in with a flat tipped brush.
  7. Darken the eyebrows with a pencil or powder, and be sure to comb it through with an eyebrow brush and add a little eyeliner to the corners of your eyes if wanted.
  8. Apply some lip gloss or lipstick to compliment and brighten the look.
By following these simple steps, a flawless and subtle look will be created, by no one other than yourself.

Have fun colouring yourself happy!
