HELLO! I hope that I find you well. I truly mean this because I have been away for a very very long time. Truly speaking, I have been soo busy with a lot of things and life literally got in the way. Therefore I did not make enough time for this blog that I started because of my passion for writing and just helping people in general. Well, now I guess I can safely say that I am back, ha ha for good this time around. I intend to give it my all this time around. I am still going to be writing about makeup and fashion, but at the same time I will also be writing about lifestyle. Well, in all aspects that is a very broad subject, but I thought I could also include other life issues on top of the fashion and the makeup. Am I making any sense? ha ha I surely hope so, but if not let me just say I sincerely hope that you will  love and certainly enjoy it. Initially I did want to focus on just fashion and makeup, but I have evolved and grown a lot since the last time I was here, I t...

Well, I know I have already done a review on some Sleek lipsticks but I just couldn't leave this one out, one of Sleek's finest.... Matte Me in Fandango Purple. This ultra smooth matte lip cream is a divine must-have!The color is a cross between purple and fuchsia. I have been using it for quite a while and get compliments nearly every time I wear it. It doesn't fade therefore there is little or no need to reapply during the day. It brightens pretty much any look. I really love the fact that it doesn't have any significant smell, it's nearly odorless,which is a plus. It's also very easy to apply because it comes with an applicator.I love love it!!

So I have decided to do a review of Revlon Colorstay foundation.  This foundation is certainly one of my most favorite foundations. The shade that best suits my tone is cappuccino. After applying  it to my  face this foundation literally disappears,blending with my natural tone.It totally covers all my blemishes without necessarily changing my skin tone. Revlon Colorstay foundation has a silky matte finish. If you  favour the matte look then this foundation is  the way to go. However, it's important to use a moisturizer before applying this foundation. This is to prevent the skin from drying out  and looking ashy.The foundation also stays on for several hours, they say up to 24 hours but truth is I haven't kept it on for that long! But every time I apply this foundation it stays on until I wash it off with soap. It does not rub off, it literally stays put until washed off with soap. I would recommend this foundation over and over again, but one has to ...

Choosing the appropriate makeup for a wedding can be a daunting task, however with a few pointers one can easily have the perfect makeup for this special day!  .Rule #1 Make sure that you have a foundation that matches your skin tone.Wearing a foundation that is too light or too dark than your skin tone will make you look washed out and or ashy. .Rule #2 You need to keep everything subtle, ie subtle lipstick, subtle eye makeup, subtle blush,etc. You have to use a very light hand and shades that reflect light on the face to give a glowing blushing bride look.Sticking to nude/barely there tones is probably the  best way to go. In a nutshell, stay away from dark makeup.  .Rule #3 Keep the hair away from your face. It's your big day and you certainly want to look your very best therefore try and keep the hair as far away from the face as possible. This will definitely highlight your face and lovely makeup. Tying back the hair is also classy and ...

Sleek lipsticks are my absolute favs! They are affordable and last long on the lips. I have tried stiletto, fuchsia, mulberry and cherry. All I can say is wow! Stiletto is matte but very moisturizing and looks great on most skin tones. Mulberry is really dark but also very flattering on both dark and light skin tones. It's great for a night out on the town! Cherry is good for both day and night and best for the sophisticated modern day woman.I wear it pretty much everyday:) Fuchsia is a cross between modest and high fashion haha...the distinction is very subtle and largely depends on how much you apply. I have used it on a bride on her big day and she looked amazing! I'm gonna try and get hold of the rest of these lipsticks because so far I am absolutely loving the ones I have tried :)

Ripped Jeans are all the hype this season. Here are three ways to help you pull off this trendy look. Enjoy!

Hi guys! Soo this is my very first post (yay!) and I am really excited. This is something that I have been planning to do for a very long time but I just kept on postponing. The main reason why I kept postponing was that I really couldn't decide on a particular area of interest to focus on, like I stated in my self introduction section I am passionate about a lot of things and I really want to try and write about as many things as possible. I also want to share some of my life experiences, moments that I loved, hated ,regret and so on. I believe I speak for a lot of people when I say life is not always a bed of roses, therefore I want this to be a platform where people can feel 'normal' and understand that sometimes certain situations are not only peculiar  to them.So basically this blog is a mixed bag so to speak. Whenever I think of something and feel like sharing it I will just put it down here. So there you have it guys, my blog in a nutshell......
