Girl of the Moment!: Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens is the girl of the moment! Her kick-ass girl power movie Suckerpunch is coming out soon (yes, I can't wait until it comes out!), and with her glossy dark locks, smouldering eye makeup and cool, effortless outfits she definitely earns the spot of girl of the moment.

Hot Hair!: A Pretty Updo with Kim Kardashian!

This updo is cute, casual and super easy to do! Adding a headband like Kim Kardashian did in the picture above also adds a cute detail. In my opinion, the updo looks somewhere in between grecian goddess and ballerina babe.

Tips for the look:
  • For curly hair: If you already have curly or wavy hair just make a messy bun quite high up on your head and then add a headband similar to the one Kim has.
  • For straight/wavy hair: Curl your hair beforehand, spritz with hairspray, make a messy bun quite high up on your head and add a headband!




Style Love!: Pretty in Pink with Alexa Chung!

Seeing this dress makes me smile. I was browsing through Gosh Celebrity Fashion- an online clothing websitehttp://www.goshcelebrityfashion.com.au/ ) that sells clothing that are inspired by celebrity fashion. Casual clothes to cocktail dresses, the website is perfect for someone looking to buy or just for a quick drool (haha)! The clothes are gorgeous! When I saw this dress, I thought it was adorable! I think Alexa Chung looks great in it too. Although I did not buy it, I just wanted to share it with everyone here, so we can all just admire it's cuteness.


Product Love!: Baby Lips

290px_Model shot
Brand: Maybelline
Price: $4.25
For best result as suggested by Maybelline:
Apply lip balm daily to deliver moisturised, soft and comfortable lips. A great base for your favourite Maybelline gloss or lipstick.
What I think? Love, love, love it! My lips are incredibly smooth and after a week of constant reapplication, I definitely noticed a major improvement! The formula is not sticky, goes on smoothly and smells so yummy! I have it in Smoothing Cherry and it is my favourite but Anti-Oxidant Berry smells nice as well! (Not sure about Energizing Orange or Relieving Menthol though!)
Rating: 10/10 kisses (really you can't go wrong with lip balm!)


Love the Look!: Effortless Glamour


This picture of Kate Bosworth, made me sigh. This is definitely what effortless glamour looks like!
Tousled waves, natural eye makeup, bright red lips and her off-the-shoulder dress are a stunning combination. 
Tips for the look:
  • Tousled hair: Can be achieved by wrapping large sections of hair around the outside of the barrel of the curling iron. This makes for looser and more tousled curls. Run your fingers through your hair if you would like a more tousled look. Spritz with hairspray to ensure hold.
  • Eyes: Black eyeliner is used to line her top lashline and a few coats of mascara finish the eyes.
  • Cheeks: A pretty peach blush is used on the apples of the cheeks to achieve a youthful glow.
  • Lips: Her look is finished off with a bright red  lipstick (matte red would also look very gorgeous!)

Style Love!: Ballerina Babe!


I love the Ballerina look! It's cute and adorable and yet, your upper body is highlighted in a flattering and elegant way. The image above is a wearable and toned down version of the look which you can wear to a party!

Tips for this look:
  • Wear a loose or low cut singlet/tank-top and a low key tutu-esque skirt, with heels or ballet flats.
  • Wear minimal jewellery, such as diamond studs or not jewellery at all in order to create ballerina elegance.
  •  Hair can be tied into a messy or neat ballerina bun, which will allow all the focus to be on your pretty face!
Tips for the makeup:
  • Glowing skin and defined cheekbones: Achieve this by using a tinted or glow-enhancing foundation and bronzer to highlight the cheekbones. Using a highlighter on the top of your cheekbones, down the nose and underneath the brow bone will enhance your natural glow!
  • Natural, elegant eyes: A soft natural eye can be achieved using a light brown matte eyeshadow on the lids and lashings of mascara.
  •  Gorgeous effortless lips: By using a matte lipstick (the model above is wearing a matte tomato red and it looks fab!) , and pairing it with natural eye makeup, makes for a gorgeous and not too over-the-top look.

Love the Look!: Bambi Eyes!

If ever there was a natural, wearable makeup look that makes your eyes look wide and doe-like, it would be this.

Look this gorgeous by:
  • Face: Use a tinted moisturiser, and a peach blush on the cheekbones
  • Eyebrows: Brows are brushed into palce and filled in with a brown powder
  • Eyes: A light wash of white beige eyeshadow on the lids and a subtle matte brown blended into the outer half of the lower lashline. A white eyeliner (or a skin coloured one, if white is too "popping" for you) is used in the waterline and a band of natural fake eyelashes are used to finish off the eyes.
  • Lips: Usa a nude, sheer lipstick to finish off this look.


Girl of the Moment!: Whitney Port!

If you are a fan of The City or The Hills, then you know this Girl of the Moment! I love Whitney Port's girl-next-door vibe, which automatically makes me want to be her friend! Her tousled golden locks, mega-watt smile and natural eye makeup all add to her laid-back appeal. She is always fashionable and I especially love her fashion line, Whitney Eve. (I am yet to fly to America and raid Macy's to get my hands on it!) If you are looking for a natural, effortless and approachable look then Whitney's the woman to copy!
