M•A•C x The Osbournes

Happy M·A·C Monday lovelies! Next week Friday (15^th August) sees the release of M·A·C’s latest limited edition collection and this time it’s with the lovely Osbourne ladies Kelly and her Mom Sharon. If you aren’t familiar with them, Kelly’s Dad (Sharon’s husband) is the outspoken and slightly weird Ozzy Osbourne, vocalist for the band Black Sabbath. Sharon co-hosts The Talk and Kelly is part of the Fashion Police on E!

I really like this collection because of the Mom and Daughter element. My Mom and I disagree on like, everything, she finds my taste a little edgy and I feel like she buys too many “classic” colours. In this case there are products and colours in the collection that will satisfy both of us. Kelly and Sharon developed these collections based on their personal relationships with their makeup artists and the shades that they love. The collections are encased in red (Sharon) and lilac (Kelly) packaging which is inspired by their unique, signature hair colours and feature their signatures.

Here’s what you can find in the collections.

Kelly

Judging from past M·A·C collections such as RiRi ♥ M.A.C, this one is going to fly off the shelves! I am definitely getting myself Kelly Yum Yum (DUH!) because I ADORE Candy Yum Yum and the satin finish and my Mom has her eye on the Patentpolish pencils.

Sharon and Kelly’s collections hit shelves and maccosmetics.co.za on Friday, 15^th August 2014 and will be available while stocks last!

Until next time

Love and smooches

{Blogger Collab} | Fashion Maniac x 2

This month for our collaboration, Shaheeda and I decided to style a statement tee we both own. Its been in the works for a while now and I hope you like it ;)

Here's Shaheeda's totally fabulous look... How hot is she?!

Hello Lovelies

There’s a little saying that goes “Bitch stole my LOOK!!!” but this post is more like “Bitch I love your look”. Zaakira and I found out that we have the same t-shirt from Mango and the first thing that popped into our blogger minds were “LOOK POST”.  I love statement t-shirts so when I saw this I had to have it, and well ‘Fashion Maniac’ pretty much describes a facet of me and Zaa as well.

How to dress up a slogan t-shirt is the inspiration for my look.

My key items are a statement neck piece, gorgeous heels and a fab bag. I decided to go with a fairly neutral palette, but the detail on my pants adds that extra glamour so this look can be worn day and night. This neck piece is sooo heavy but stunning is an understatement, so when I saw it sparkling in Zara I had to have it. I incorporated a pop of colour with the handbag (which according to me goes with everything Ok!). A nude heel is a must have for every fashionista it is so versatile you will find a million ways to wear it (my Instagram feed bears testament to this, as I have worn these quite a bit lately).

Pants- Zara – I got these overseas but they should be heading for our shores soon.

Shoes- Steve Madden at Edgars (In-Store now)

Handbag- Marc By Marc Jacobs

Neck piece – Zara (In-store now)

Visit my blog www.stylebyshaheeda.wordpress.com to see how Zaa shows us her Fashion Maniac side.

Until next time…

Lorde for M.A.C | A First Look

Woooohoo! The first images for Lorde’s collaboration with MAC are out! It will be a 2 piece collection consisting of a purple/plum lipstick called Pure Heroine and a black Penultimate Eye Liner called Rapidblack.

Like the 17 year old New Zealander, the collection is simple yet dark and vampy. I’ve admired Lorde since she broke out into the music scene. With stars like Miley Cyrus being very “it” at the time, I really admired how Lorde stayed grounded, made it all about the music and, well, kept her clothes on. She’s won many accolades since then and has featured on the soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

Lorde has said about M.A.C, "I have loved M•A•C Cosmetics since I was a little kid. I remember saving up to buy my very first M•A•C lipstick [Snob] at 14, and it was used by about 20 of my friends! M•A•C has a very clear aesthetic, that has always felt fashion forward to me. So I was really excited to work with them on these products, which I use pretty much every day and night. I hope you will too." 

A simple cat-eye is a classic look and you can go a little thicker for an edgier look. Deep, purple lips are huge this Winter and they aren’t going away anytime soon so this lipstick is going to sell like hotcakes. If Rihanna’s M.A.C collab is anything to go by, the lipstick will be sold out after only a few hours of hitting the shelves!

The Lorde for M.A.C Collection hits shelves in the U.S on June 5 this year and will be sold until July 3. I’m not sure when it will hit South Africa but I am to believe it will be sometime in the late Winter. I’ll be there on launch day waiting to get my hands on both the lipstick and the eyeliner.

See you in line!

Until next time

Love and sparkles
