New York Fashion Week Dion Lee collection

Image
This event was streamed live on the New York Fashion Week website.  These images are not mine.   Courtesy  www.wwd.com The main colors used were neutrals such as black, khaki with a couple of blue outfits.   The collection also featured bias cut dresses and skirts which allowed for free movement. Footwear included boots and platform shoes. Although my 'fashion school' studies were short-lived, Lee's designs reminded me of some of the World War uniforms, as well as the ammunition belts worn by soldiers and others.

The highlighter only makeup challenge gone wrong!

Image
I decided to try some zany makeup challenges on my YouTube channel  to spice things up a bit and have some fun. My highlighter collection is small: and includes 1.  Beauty Treats Contour palette. This palette has 6 face powders, 2 highlighter powders and 2 bronzer powders. 2.  NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator. This is light, creamy and best when used sparingly. 3.LA Colors Makeup Brow Palette This palette includes 2 brow waxes and 1 highlighter.

Pure Leaf Tea Review: Black Tea with Vanilla.

Image
I recently collected an Influenster Vox Box, complimentary products sent to me for testing and review. I get so happy when I receive a package from Influenster and I must admit that I am definitely a'tea' person. The package came in a branded black box. There were two types of tea:  Black Tea with Vanilla and Iced Green Tea with Citrus. I prepared the Black Tea with Vanilla. I tasted just a hint of vanilla, while the black tea flavor was not overpowering.

The Style of Victoria Beckham

Image
I admired the style of Victoria Beckham for quite a few seasons. She never disappoints, as we see her in a blue and orange complementary color combo. This can be worn as a refreshing office outfit.  She completes the look with dark sunglasses and a brown leather bag.

Review: LA Colors Liquid Makeup Black Walnut

Image
I had already been using LA Girl Perfecting Liquid Makeup  and loved the versatility of its lightweight, smooth finish and easy application for daily work wear. Then I happened to spy the LA Colors brand on a trip to one of the local beauty stores and decided to try it. This product comes in a tapered plastic bottle, complete with a convenient pump.  It is lightly scented and this product can be a substitute for brown powder or can be worn under brown powder. I used it for a couple of weeks.  Its creamy consistency can be applied with a cosmetic wedge. Although it looked smooth on my face, a slightly oily sheen would appear after a couple hours of wear.  Then I would have to keep reapplying setting powder. I would have to recommend this product for persons with dry skin.
