Ladies, looking beautiful is no easy feat and the endless selection of beauty products doesn’t necessarily make it any easier. How do you know which cosmetic or makeup product is right for you?
For starters, simply make peace with the fact that beauty can be costly and be prepared to fork out a pretty fortune. This is not to say you shouldn’t shop around to find the best buys and promotional offers.
Opt for cosmetics that match and complement your skin tone and type. Go for colours that enhance your natural glow and blend in with the colour of your hair, eyes and skin.
This means choosing a lighter foundation shade for fair skin and using products for your specific skin type. Educate yourself on knowing what goes into the products you are using and safeguard the health of your skin to prevent any skin allergies you may be prone to.
The best way to find out which products work best for you is to “test and try”. Glossybox offers just the answer to those who delight in the thrill of trying new beauty products.

Purrfect Print
Lil’ Wayne rocked them at the 2011 VMAs; Nicki Minaj threw together a little leopard print ensemble and Kim Kardashian flaunts them at every available opportunity. We’re talking about this week’s Hot Look, Animal Print .
Animal prints have marked their territory on shelves in every fashionable clothing store; they’re versatile and can be worn in a multitude of styles and come in various colours, from standard brown to unconventional green.
We spotted Jade London Marshall unleashing her animal instincts this week with a pair of leopard print joggers while shopping at YDE . If you prefer it in a black and white print, then get a pair at Mr Price for R119,99 .
Jade kept it simple by wearing a plain white tank top with a black cardigan and flip-flops. But if you’d rather cover your toes try these leopard print espadrilles from Mr Price for R59.99 .
There is no such thing as too much print. If you want to go extra bold, then a jumpsuit from YDE for R425 will take you from drab to fab in no time. Too hot? How about a mini multi-coloured jumpsuit from Mr Price for R79.99 .
Demand attention with this adventurous one-shoulder leopard print top from Mr Price for R79,99 . A sophisticated yet wild look that will make even the most reserved individual purr.
Want to look chic at your friend’s pool party this weekend? Pop into YDE for a Bark Animal Ela skirt for R250 . Pair it with an orange or white tank top and leopard print takkies from Mr Price for R79,99 .

To accessorise, try the leopard print watch from Mr Price for R69,99 . Remember, the simpler the better though as animal prints are busy.
You won’t have a faux paw with these fashion tips. So get out on the prowl around Sandton City. Bring out the animal in you!

Most Wanted
There is nothing like tempting, voluptuous lips to add to your seductive appeal this winter. We pay luscious lip service to trending shades and how to get your pout just right:
High drama
Dramatic bolds and neutral nudes are the latest in lip colour styling; think a glossy deep purple for high-shine glamour. This racy colour works well with subdued and soft colouring to the cheeks and eyelids. And remember a well-defined brow, some lash darkening mascara and a tinted moisturiser to set your skin aglow for a perfect look.
Nude for effect
Prevent nude colour lips from looking washed out by keeping the rest of your makeup soft and natural. Choose a matte finish and go easy on the lip liner. Eye shadow in skin-tone matching shades of light pink, coral, beige, peach or mocha are best. Stay away from shimmery blue, purple and green. Dust your skin with a light bronzer and end off with a pink tinted blush on the cheeks for touch of radiance.
Also choose a wide variety of pink shades in matte, gloss or traditional wear while keeping your cheek colour to a minimum, skin dusted with a soft bronzer and charcoal eyes for an elegant evening look.
If it’s red lips you’re after, be sure to choose a shade and texture that best suits you. For that red carpet celebrity look, go for dramatic eyes and lightly rouged cheeks for a healthy looking glow.
We liked Rimmel’s lasting finish lipstick from the Kate Moss Collection. Choose from eight shades, all from R70. Or try Clinique’s Chubby Stick Moisture Lip Colour at R205. Both available from Edgars .
