I crave a weekend away 🌴. #fashionlover #fashionista #sabloggers #sabeautyblog #safashionblogger #safashionbloggers #affordablefashion #sablogger #sabeautybabes #sablogging #sabeauty #lifestyleblog #fashionaccessories #southafricaninfluencers #southafricanbeautyblogger #southafricanstyle #southafricaninfluencer #southafricanfashion #safashion #capetownfashion #portelizabethfashion
  • Kissing Tuesday Good Bye!💋 Yesterday I felt super down and even though I woke up feeling sluggish again today, I also felt like I didn't want to stay there. So I got up and started being productive and started feeling better again too. It's been a productive day just because I made an effort to change my mindset. I've also been feeling low and a little despondent about Instagram and that's why my posting hasn't been consistent. My engagement has taken a dip and I've seen a few other creators also experiencing it. But I've decided to change my mindset about this too. It's easy to get caught up in the likes and views but I've decided to keep posting just because I love creating content and sharing things with you and just stop focusing on the numbers. But actually wish me luck coz it's easy to get back into a slump. I'm hoping I won't! 🤞🏽
  • I meant to post about this sooner, but better late than never. 🤷🏽 Last week Friday I attended the @maccosmeticsafrica techniques class. I may know quite a bit about make up application but it's always great to learn from professionals and ask questions on things you think you could do better with. It's also great to learn about the actual products they use. Like I didn't know that most of @maccosmeticsafrica products contain minerials. I particularly loved the pinkish look Mishka did. It was super on trend didn't look over powering. I think it's a look that you can wear for daytime or nighttime look. Thank you @mishkaamodstudios and @mjoael for sharing your skills with us and for answering all my questions and thank you @maccosmeticsafrica @baywestmall for hosting this event. I hope there will be more in future.
  • This video shows you just how versatile your outfits can be and that with the change of shoes your outfit can go from casual day at the mall to dinner date. I've paired each outfit with the same pair of @woolworths_sa heels and @pumasouthafrica Cali Sport Heritage sneakers. I've tagged items below, however some of the items I have purchased a while ago and may no longer be available in store. Outfit details below: OUTFIT 1 Dress - @hm Earrings - @thefixza Lipstick - @essence_cosmetics @cosmetix_sa matt matt matt in shade 7 OUTFIT 2 Top - @shopbrettrobson Pants - @sodabloc @foschinisa Earrings - Vibez Bag - @elizabetharden bright lights collection bag Lipstick - @elizabetharden Red Red Door OUTFIT 3 Tee - @superbalist Shorts - @sodabloc @foschinisa Bag - Vibez Earrings - @exact_clothing Hair clips - @dischem_pharmacies Lipstick - @mrpfashion #ScarletHillBeauty in Ya Shiesa Let me know your favourite look in the comments. #fashionlover #fashionista #sabloggers #sabeautyblog #safashionblogger #safashionbloggers #affordablefashion #sablogger #sabeautybabes #sablogging #fashionaccessories #southafricaninfluencers #southafricanbeautyblogger #southafricanstyle #southafricaninfluencer #southafricanfashion #safashion #capetownfashion #portelizabethfashion #stylevideo #fashionvideo #mrpfashion #mrpmystyle #superbalist #elizabethardenSA
  • I recently read a post that said something along the lines of "If your want to try out more colours for eye make up this year peach tones are a good place to start" It's definitely not as daring as bright green but it's different from our old faithful nudes. It's a shade that matches most skin tones and is still feminine. If you are still looking for some Valentines day make up up inspo, why not try out a bold peach lip instead of a classic red, pink or nude. This matte lip is available from #ScarletHillBeauty (R39.99) @mrpfashion Share some of your favourite Vday looks you've seen.

  • A quick @mrpfashion haul. Finally picked up some Scarlet Hill goodies to try out. The face masks are on a 3 for R100 special. I picked up a matte coral lipstick called Ya Shiesa (R39.99) and the tropical heat (R79.99) eye shadow palette. I really liked the shades in the palette. Swipe for swatches. That green shade is my fave. So pigmented. I've also had my eye on this off the shoulder dress for the longest time and finally gave in and purchased it this past weekend. I'm thinking of doing a style video with it. Have any of your tried Scarlet Hill Beauty? I'll have a look using the palette and lipstick out soon. #mrphaul #mrpmystyle #scarlethillbeauty #mrploves #makeupsa #beauty #beautylover #beautysa #southafricaninfluencers #southafricanbeautyblogger #southafricaninfluencer #southafricanblogger #southafricanbloggers #sabloggers #sablogger #sainfluencer #sainfluencers #sabeautyblogger #sabeauty #sanaturalhairbloggers #samua #makeupinspo #lipstick #shimmereyeshadow #eyeliner #highlight
  • I've wanted to wear an all yellow outfit for the longest time🌻. Someone ( hint hint @millky_tea ) take me out somewhere I can wear this outfit for reals please 😁😏. Also, this is a swimsuit from @cottonon_africa not a bodysuit. I love a good swimsuit that doubles as a bodysuit. Pants and Shoes from @mrpfashion 👡. #fashionlover #fashionista #sabloggers #sabeautyblog ##safashionblogger #safashionbloggers #affordablefashion #sablogger #sabeautybabes #sablogging #sabeauty #lifestyleblog #fashionaccessories #southafricaninfluencers #southafricanbeautyblogger #southafricanstyle #southafricaninfluencer #southafricanfashion #safashion #capetownfashion #portelizabethfashion #mrpmystyle #mycottonon
  • A @maccosmeticsafrica masterclass is actually happening in OUR CITY of PE 🎉🎉! The event takes place at @baywestmall this Friday at 4pm. Tickets are R500, redeemable in products on the day. Over and above this, event attendees will receive a goodie bag, snacks and drinks and a masterclass of course. @mishkaamodstudios will be the guest make up artist so make a Galentines Day of it and get your tickets at Mac stores in PE. This post is in no way sponsored, just thought I'd let y'all know how to spoil yourself or get someone to spoil you this Valentines/Galentines day. I hope to see you there.
  • A Happy Saturday in my New Kicks. 👟 The @pumasouthafrica Cali Sport Heritage is now available at Puma.com and in store. #gifted #fashionlover #fashionista #sabloggers #sabeautyblog ##safashionblogger #safashionbloggers #affordablefashion #sablogger #sabeautybabes #sablogging #sabeauty #lifestyleblog #fashionaccessories #southafricaninfluencers #southafricanbeautyblogger #southafricanstyle #southafricaninfluencer #southafricanfashion #safashion #capetownfashion #portelizabethfashion #superbme #pumasouthafrica #pumacalisportheritage
  • This is one of my GO-TO Summer Hairstyles☀. It's cute and keeps my hair out of the way for those super hot days when just having your hair down makes you sweat more. Also, I just love a good Hairband (this one I got from @mrpfashion a while back, they always have really cute hair accessories that are under R50 #bargainshopping) and the pieces out in the front make it look a little more chic. #mrpmystyle #sanatural #mauimoisture #southafricannaturalhairblogger #naturalhairstyles #naturalista #naturallycurly #curlyhair #curlsfordays #salifestyleblogger #hairbeauty #southafricannatural  #curlyhairblogger #naturalhairblogger #sablogger #southafricanblogger #ecblogger #sainfluencer #edgeslaid #edgesonfleek #edgegel #sanaturalhairbloggers #sanaturalhairblogger #sabeautyblogger #sabeauty #southafricaninfluencer #southafricaninfluencers @naturalhair.co.za @naturalsncurls @ctnaturally @naturalhairloves @curlyhairkillas @curly.pearls
