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.

You can leave your hat on...
This upcoming season, going bare-headed is not only going to be chilly, but also unstylish. We think that the hat is one of the most gorgeous, but most misunderstood fashion accessories and since it’s coming back into fashion in a big way, we thought we’d help you out a little with some advice!
Flavia, our Hot Look of the week, is the perfect example of how a hat can totally transform your look and give it an instant boost.
She wears a white-cropped jacket, black beaded necklace, purple bubble-dress, black shiny leggings, purple sandals and grey hat to finish the look off.
Headscarves are also an interesting trend this winter . They are so classic and feminine - we just love the look! Place the scarf over your hair and tie a knot under your chin. Simple and classy.
When it comes to choosing a hat, be sure to find one that flatters your face shape and compliments your facial features. Treat your head to gorgeous berets, fake fur, kepis, fedoras, newsboy caps, cadet caps, slouchy beanies, or any cap you can get your hands on.
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 .
