One Final Winter Outfit of the Day.....

Hi Everyone!!

Firstly, sorry I've been MIA for the past couple of weeks, life has been pretty busy and I had a couple of free weekends for some precious family time before "Wedding Season" hits and I won't have any free Saturdays to spend with my family until mid December - yah for my business!

So it's a Outfit of the Day Post, and we are only days away from the end of Winter and after the cold winter we've had I really can't wait for Spring to be here.....

Navy & White Striped Tee - from Big W
White Jeans - from Roxy
Navy Scarf - from Just Jeans
Coral Belt - from Cotton On
Coral Ballet Flats - from Big W
Coral Bracelets & Ring - from Big W

The Outfit of the Day can be transitioned from winter to spring too, by removing the jacket and scarf....white jeans are so classic and fresh!

I love adding coral to navy and white - it just adds a pop of colour.....

So cute!

My make up today is fresh and natural....just some BB cream, concealer, powder, mascara, brow powder (I need it!), coral blush and tinted lip balm......add in a little hair twist and voila so beautiful....

So are you going to give this look a go for Spring?

Does Make Up Make a Difference....How Half a Face of Make Up Can Make a Difference...

Recently I saw a facebook picture that Promise Tamang Phan had uploaded of herself with half a face of make up and I thought it was an interesting challenge to show you all how much a difference make up can make.....

So first up here's the products I used to create my half/half face....

Face
That Gal Brightening Primer
Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation in Natural Beige
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer in Medium
Benefit Powderflage
MAC MSFF Powder in Medium
Sleek Face Contour Kit (bronzing and highlighting)
Benfit Coralista Blush

Eyes
NYX Eyeshadow Base in Skintone
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Permanent Taupe
Urban Decay Naked Palette
Rimmel Exagerrate Waterproof Eye Definer in Black
Rimmel Master Precise Liquid Liner in Black
Covergirl lashblastlength Mascara in Black (lower lashes)
Rimmel Scandaleyes Mascara in Black (top lashes)
The Body Shop Brow Kit
Coastal Scents Whimsical False Lashes

Lips
Rimmel 'Exaggerate Lip Definer in Natural
Revlon Just Bitten KissableBalm Stain in Honey
e.l.f. Mineral Lip Gloss in Pagent Princess
e.l.f. Lip Definer and Shaper

So here's the result.....

So what's the major differences:
Skin texture is brighter and refined
Brows are more defined
Under eye circles are less prominent as well as my under eye bags
Lips are larger
Eyes are brighter and more defined

And here's a close up of my make up:

So I think I've answered the question above, Make Up Can Make a Difference!

OOTD: Leopard Chic....

Hi Everyone!!

Today I thought I'd share my Outfit of the Day, which features two of my all time favourite items....leopard print scarf and leopard print shoes.

Oh my, show me something in leopard print and I have to have it!!

Today I paired my leopard print scarf and shoes with a black and white striped three quarter sleeved long shirt, black stirrup leggings and cropped tan jacket. 

Scarf from KMart
Shoes from Payless Shoes
Leggings from Target
Shirt from Jeans West
Jacket from Cotton On

If you want to mix up your prints, then start out slowly with basic black and white stripes and some neutral leopard print and it won't look like too much is going on.

I like to pair a flowy top with  my leggings so that there is balance in my outfit.

Wearing the scarf as one long piece also lengthens my short torso and legs.



Simple bracelets in the same colours as my outfit pull the outfit together....

- white, gold, silver, dark brown, black and tan

Paired with neutral fresh make up.....as always I emphasise my eyes....

So why not mix up some prints this weekend - post your "mixed prints" pics in the comments....
