FAB WEB STORE ALERT: UK'S AQUA BY AQUA

I love window shopping... on the Web. I can search and search and search to find items I've seen worn on TV, in a magazine ad or on everyday FAB divas for hours upon hours. Once I have something in my head that I'm crazy about, I will research all day and night to find it, especially if it's an item out of my budget. There's ALWAYS a more affordable version or option on the Web. I'm not one to go broke trying to look hot, especially not on MY OWN DIME *WINK.*

Well, I'd recently become a fan of fashion blogger and author of Style Is My Thing (whose blog I found after another blogger raved about her style. Can't remember that blogger's name or the name of her site but when I do, I'll link it.)

 

I absolutely fell in love with this skirt (well the whole ensemble, but the skirt in particular), and turns out it's by Aqua by Aqua, a UK designer and retailer. 

Think Asos mets Calvin Klein or Donna Karan but at affordable (Topshop-esque) prices. Many of the pieces are sleek, structured and simple but have a sexy allure or accent to them. 

 

 

 

 

FAB, right? Well, I have def. put some of these pieces on my wish list. And they're having a sale as well ;)

I might actually do these kinds of posts every Friday for fav Web retailers that aren't the norm. I know all the divas know about Asos and Forever 21 and Topshop and the like, but it's refreshing to shop elsewhere and be the only gyal at the party wearing what you're wearing. LOL!

Stay FAB.

REALITY BEAUTY FAB: LOVE & HIP HOP ATL



So, I'm anxious to see this new season of Love & Hip Hip; Atlanta. It seems to have a lot of Divatude on set. My eyes are wide open to see any new trends I can emmulate makeup-wise.

First up, let's discuss Miss Joseline. Must admit, she's a cutie. Great bod, and a fiesty FAB style from head to toe.



As for makeup, I'm big on brows as the foundation of a great look. Get a well-groomed FAB look yourself with the following technique:







A common mistake I see everyday women do often is they apply makeup that gives a harsh look. Ladies, you want to highlight your best features, which in Joseline's case are her eyes or lips.



This technique is what I recommended for a softer, more blended look. This will give you that femininity you need.



Check out examples of great brows featuring FAB clients. I've shaped brows on clients with different eye shapes and it complimented them all well =D









Last but NOT least on myself





So ladies, there's a look for everybody, but since each of us have DIFFERENT eye shapes, start with the basics. Trust me, it will give you that extra polish and foundation to a FAB look you need.

I've talked in earlier blogs about knowing your eye shape so you can apply eyeshadow in proper area to get look you want. Heres a recap!









It took me FOREVER---yes I said it FOREVER---to learn how to properly apply my eyeshadow. It took some trial & error but once you realize the actual science on where and how much to apply and with what brush, it will be fun and FAB time when it comes to painting your face.

Stay True Stay You.
