Sparkle #160: Beauty Gifts Under $25

Shopping for holiday gifts can be tiring, there are just so many different categories and options to choose from! I personally find that beauty samplers or gift boxes make for excellent holiday gifts (whether you are giving or receiving). If you pick up a couple of these samplers, you can even mix and match the products to stash your teenager’s stockings for Christmas eve! Sephora has some stunning gift boxes for sale on their website, and the best part is they are all discounted and cost less than $25! I have my eyes on a couple of them in particular, especially the makeup palettes. Check out all…

Sparkle #152: My Favorite Red Lipstick

Red lipstick – an all time beauty classic and one of the easiest ways to glamorize your style. No matter what the outfit, event or shade – this trend fits in well with both casual and formal affairs. A dash of red lipstick adds just the right amount of color and can take your look from simple to stylish in minutes. It can take some time to find your favorite red lipstick – one which is the right shade and texture and blends well with your skin tone.

Sparkle #132: Fall Fashion Moodboard

I love creating mood boards! They are great for visualizing different elements of a theme. You can experiment with multiple components, put together contrasting as well as complementary elements and play around with different compositions till you find one which feels just right! A mood board is an effective visual way to communicate a certain idea, after all visuals work the best when it comes to catching attention! To celebrate my love for fall, I have put together a fall fashion mood board which will give you some ideas on how to update your wardrobe for the coming season. For me, autumn means color blocking, cozy knits,…

Sparkle #113: Would you throw your Makeup?

I am a big hoarder when it comes to makeup products, I just cannot find the courage to throw anything out! And what makes this worse is the fact that I am always adding more items to my stash – new products, colors and brands. I have a big drawer filled with lipsticks, eyeliners, concealers and what not! I rarely use makeup in my daily routine, so this treasure chest is exploited only during special occasions. This is why the following info graphic really caught my attention. If I have to go by the timelines advised below, I will probably have to build my makeup collection…
