{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)

Until next time…

I have been broadening my make-up spectrum lately, and I have been experimenting with a few new products. I only started using a primer under my foundation/tinted moisturiser recently (Shoot Me!). My skin hasn’t been that great due to a sudden breakout that left a few scars, so I was on the lookout for a product to add some radiance to my sometimes dull complexion. Needless to say when I saw the glittery Stila One Step Illuminate I was interested. The only thing I was concerned about was that it must not add a bronzing effect. So when I asked the sales lady to describe the product to me she said “It gives you that J-Lo Glow!” To me that means luminescent healthy looking skin.

So does the:

With my experience it does. My skin appeared healthier and radiant.
The swirly solution is made up of three colours which blend into each other:
   -Pale pink – Aims to warm your complexion.
   -Champagne – Adds that shimmer and highlights your skin.
   -Kitten – This is the Glow factor as this brightens and illuminates the skin.

The first time I just used it under my normal moisturiser, what I liked is that it wasn’t oily because my current moisturiser is quite nourishing. My skin didn’t Glow like J-lo, but there was that hint of radiance.

I then proceeded to use it with my tinted moisturiser I mixed the moisturiser with the primer instead of using it as a base, and I loved the result. My skin looked amazeballs (sorry I just wanted to use that word).

It can also be used as a highlighter, on your cheekbones and brow bone.
Apart from its aesthetic appeal, the product contains “Stila's Youth Revival Bio-Available Mineral Complex” which benefits boasts anti-ageing properties as well as skin hydration and minimizing of pores and fine lines.

I love a product that has multiple uses, so this is definitely a winner for me.

Here’s to always Glowing Like J-Lo
