Recently while on a shopping trip in Dischem, I came across this nifty little beauty blender which looks exactly the same as the original one without the hefty price tag. I have always been quite intrigued by the actual beauty blender sponge but definitely am not (nor will I ever be) willing to pay around R300 for a sponge.
Catrice cosmetics are always coming out with new and affordable high quality products that promise to do what they say more often that not. This brand is, in my opinion one of the greatest drug-store available brands we have in South Africa and is right up the alley with NYX and Essence with regards to formulation and quality. There are a couple of products in my makeup favorites stash from this brand which I absolutely adore and use religiously (such as the Nude eye shadow palette and Prime and Fine powder) and now, I am happy to announce that these five have too been a very welcomed addition to the clique.
A little over a month ago, I was approached by Pantene who asked if I was interested in trying out their products for a month and write my honest review of it over here. Naturally, I said yes as not only was I already an avid Pantene user, but I genuinely liked the brand.
The moment I put this look together I knew that it was a winner. I have always lusted after a boyfriend jeans but never tried them on for fear that I’d look nothing less than ridiculous, but when I laid eyes on this pair from Forever New, I suddenly had this itch to dress it up and try them on. Plus, the fact that they were rolled up at the bottom and perfectly ripped just added to their allure. This beautiful fur coat paired with the jeans made such a statement on its own that I decided to mute everything down with a plain body suit and nude boots. The hat and neck-pieces were a complete novelty and I felt like it added a bit of sophistication and fun to the outfit.
My favorite color to wear for no other reason besides the fact that I feel comfortable in it. I wear this hue every single day and for me to do a Forever New shoot without incorporating black, would have defintley been something very unlike me. The first thing I grabbed when I went in store was this beautifully made leopard coat and black leather skinnies. I knew that I wanted to wear a hat with this look to add some edge and took this one off the front display (I was on a serious mission). My favorite part of this ensemble however is the shirt which is just so soft and fantastically designed. The front crosses over and sits just above my hip bones while the back cascades down a bit and looks like one of those longer length tops. Plus, it was so much fun to shoot! win win
