M.A.C Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour -Red Jade review

June 27, 2017 ijaykheavens 2 Comments

Hey guys a flash review of the MAC matte liquid lip colour in Red Jade. This was a blind purchase in terms of buying it without actually seeing the colour in real life. My decision was based on the colour shown on the MAC site.

This lip colour is applied as a liquid but it drys matte. I loved these types of lipsticks because they are very long lasting and do not transfer. Although this is called a Red Jade, it has an orangy undertone. Shades like this are very vibrant and great for the summer. I was so pleased with the colour. Totally my kinda thing.

I had some challenges applying this lip colour. In order to avoid streaks I had to apply 2-3 coats. DO NOT pat down once the lipstick has started to dry. I mad this mistake and had to start over because it caused clumping .

I really like the applicator. The shaping helps with going round the lips for better precision. So far I have had lots of compliments on this lipstick. I bought it here with 30%off. The great news is that MAC are doing 20% off all products right now using the discount code mac20. So you can buy this and other similar fab products.

Have fun.
See you soon.

Kimono for the kill !

OK I don’t mean literally but if your trying to make a statement and be fashion forward this is the piece for you.

Ideal for both daytime and evening looks; I love the versatility of Kimonos.

Pair yours with cute shorts and flip flops for a trendy beach look. Or with a pair of skinny jeans and killer sandals for your perfect holiday evening outfit.

I always pack at least one kimono on holiday.

New look have got a few kimono in the tall range. Shop these here! I love the floral white one. What do you think of it ?
See you on the next post. Xo

Five rules for wearing floral prints

June 16, 2017 ijaykheavens Leave a comment

Hey lovelies. …. we can hardly make it past summer without saying the ‘F’ word. Floral prints are definitely a summer staple.

Deciding which floral print to wear can be the problem. Is there any such thing as a dated print? Are some prints more suited for specific sessions ? ????🤔

Fashion rules are there to be pushed and broken. But here are 5 rules to help you in wearing floral prints this summer.

Rule No. 1

Wear whatever print makes you happy and comfortable . During the summer months you might find that larger sized prints are more suited to match the bright and vibrant weather. During the winter you can get away with adding colour and character to grey and cold days with smaller sized floral prints.

Rule No. 2

It is not a crime to wear floral print on floral print. It takes a very special kind of person to pull this off. If you are going the extra mile and wish to wear clashing prints, take care not to over do it. Medium sized prints with small sized floral prints might just be the right balance.
Rule No. 3

Make a statement with your floral print. Maximum the impact of your floral print by wearing it in a maxi-dress or by draping it in a duster/ kimono.
Rule No. 4

Be brave enough to experiment with colour. Opt for colours which suit your complexion for a girly and fresh look.
Rule No. 5

If you are still not sure how to join the flower power movement, floral embroidery item are on trend and perfect for this season.
