I’m so excited for the Wild Africa Cream launch party happening in Jozi this week. And, if you entered my giveaway, today I’ll announce who will be joining me with their BFF for an evening of Elegance Untamed! Read to the end of this post to see if it’s you! This week I wanted to play around with something different. I wanted to show you how to incorporate a touch of leopard into a chic evening look, by giving your hair a bit of a wild edge… Since I really suck at doing my own hair, I had the help of my talented hairdresser, Louise from Eclat Creatif (she’s amazing) whip up this edgy, boho braided creation with a touch of leopard print. We used my ClipinHair Extensions (read my review here) to add more fullness to my braid. Isn’t it beautiful?! I finished my look off with a simple LBD and my new Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses. They are so cute! They have an almost leopard print effect to them and inside, they have flash of fun with red and white polka dots. For my makeup, I used these beautiful goodies from Inglot. On my eyes, I used this palette that was specially created for Wild…

I’m so excited to finally be able share these Behind the Scenes images and tell you more about an exciting project with Wild Africa Cream. Together with the beautiful Carlinn (Superficial GirlsG) and Thithi (TEETEEISWITHME), we were chosen as ambassadors to welcome the new look Wild Africa Cream in style… by adding elegance to every girl’s must have wardrobe item, the LBD, AKA Little Black Dress. Wild Africa Cream is a smooth and delicious cream liqueur, made in South Africa. You’ll probably remember it by the bold leopard “fur coat” packaging it used to have. Well, it now offers the same amazing taste, but this time around, it’s got a more elegant and refined new look. To celebrate the re-birth of their packaging, the three of us had a fun shoot for Marie Claire Magazine that you can see in the November 2014 issue, styling our favourite Little Black Dresses. Stick around as I’ll be sharing my #EleganceUntamed fashion and beauty posts throughout the month of November. In the meantime, here are some pics from the day… By the way, you guys can also enjoy a bit of #EleganceUntamed at the Wild Africa Cream Exclusive Launch Parties happening in Cape Town on 19th November 2014, or Jozi on the 4th December 2014. Make it a night out and bring your untamed elegance by wearing your favourite LBD with a touch…

My everyday foundation routine changes from time to time. Since I am a beauty blogger, I get exposed to a lot of really cool new products, making it rather difficult to stick to one brand and one foundation routine. I thought I’d share my current, “everyday” foundation routine with you guys as I’ve been trying, testing and loving a few new products right now… Foundation I still have my absolute favourite foundations, like MAC Studio Fix, Chanel Vitalumiere, Makeup Forever HD, Chanel Perfection Lumiere and Estee Lauder Maximum Cover, but for every day, and for the time being at least, I’m loving the all new L’Oreal Infallible 24H Foundation! It’s really impressed me! I have used the old Infallible foundation, which I found to be a little thick and pasty, and I also couldn’t get any of the colours to match. But this new formula, with a Hydrating Hyaluron Complex, and “extreme hold pigments” has really improved the product. Now the foundation goes on a lot smoother, blends beautifully and lasts a really long time. Plus for me, the colour range is more up my (olive skin toned) alley! I’m using a combination of the shade Honey (235) and Amber (300) and the result is a perfect match! I found the best way to apply…

A little while ago, I met up with Charli from INGLOT, so that he could tell me about all the amazing new (makeup) things coming our way, from one of my favourite makeup brands. He gave me a few samples from the latest INGLOT Berry Collection to try them out. The nail colours, come in six fabulous shades and are all O2M Breathable Nail Enamels. Which is Inglot’s signature line that allows moisture and oxygen to pass through the nail colour, keeping your nails in tip top condition. I got to sample two colours. Shade 689 is a pretty gorgeous deep burgundy red, which I didn’t love at first. But once I put it on my nails, I was sold. I’m actually still wearing it on my toes, and it’s a really lovely plum red colour. The second shade, 691 is a royal purple that looks very much like black, but with rich purple tones. It’s a great colour for dark moods, and if you want to wear black, but not black if you know what I mean! Both of these are really nice, rich colours that will keep your nails happy for the last few weeks of winter! They lasted on my nails for three days without chipping, and my nails still looked healthy after…

So you guys know my obsession with Inglot cosmetics?! I absolutely love, love, love their stuff and have always thought that they offer great, high quality cosmetics at decent prices! Well, now they have an even more amazing offer, where you can grab their “Essential” products at a fraction of the cost! The Inglot Essentials Kit offers an all in one pack of Inglot’s hot selling products, including; False Lash Effect Mascara, Under Makeup Base, Kohl Pencil and Sleeks Lip Gloss. Even better, they are offering this kit at a reduced rate of R449! The retail value of this kit is R876, so it’s a huge score! This is a really great promotion, and a great opportunity to try the brand out if you haven’t used anything from Inglot before! While I have millions of their eye shadows, and a couple of other products, I have never used any of the products in this kit, so it was a great chance for me to discover some amazing new products. False Lash Effect Mascara My fave product from this collection is the False Lash Effect mascara. I am an absolute mascara whore addict, and in all honesty, I can live without other makeup, but…

INGLOT have just launched their exciting Coffee Collection. Inspired by the decadence of coffee, this collection is purrrrfect for winter! Here’s the selection I got to play with.. Freedom Eye Shadow in shade 155 is a gorgeous, creamy golden colour that adds amazing depth to your lids. AMC Eyeliner Gel in 93 which has a rich, metallic effect. Looks great as an eye liner on plain lids or layered over the golden eyeshadow. You can also use this gel liner as an intense, metallic eyeshadow – perfect for a night out. Totally yummy, Inglot Nail Enamel in 365. This is a gorgeous beige that looks like latte! Love it, so Beckham indeed! What do you think of this collection? Yummy right?

Loving these gorg new nail colours from Inglot! Never mind the pretty colours, these “breathable nail polishes” are the absolute bomb! Inglot’s Breathable Nail polish range is called O2M and while it coats your nails in a beautiful, solid colour, it simultaneously allows them to breathe, by allowing oxygen to pass through the polish and into the nail. The result, healthy nails that still look as fun and colourful as you want them to. So, if you’re obsessed with painting your nails in different colours every day, then you should definitely try out this range. The colours in the pic above (from left): 667, 659, 665 and 672. Here, I am wearing Inglot O2M in colour 659. It’s a beautiful coral that goes on nice and solid with just one coat and it lasts! I snapped this pic after wearing this colour for 4 days! Very Impressive, considering how hard I am on my nails.

Hello stylish peeps! Can you believe it’s Monday already? I thought I’d start my posts this week by looking back and letting you guys in on some of the exciting things you’ve probably already seen if you follow me on Instagram. You can follow me on Instagram – stylescoopdotcoza where I post snaps of every day stuff like my shoe obsessions, makeup and events, and on occasion, the kids (my two Rotties and two mongrels) who drive me nuts, but whom I love to death! Enjoy! An exciting package from the cool peeps over at Levi’s… Stila fans, if you haven’t already heard the news, Stila cosmetics are finally available in South Africa, yay! I got to sample some goodies – my first time using Stila – and I absolutely love, love, love! Check out my review on some Stila products here. Love this clever Halloween gift filled with tricks and (more) treats from Accessorize, LaSenza and Inglot. Some more goodies from GOSH cosmetics to try. GOSH like Stila, is new to South Africa, but no stranger to makeup junkies around the globe! I can’t wait to dig into this makeup and am especially keen to try the eyebrow kit and…

How cold has the weather been this week? I am frozen solid! On the bright side (and I do mean bright side), Inglot has a great new summer inspired collection, that will brighten up your mood and would look awesome paired a South African summer tan… All we need now, is for the weather to play nice, the rain to stop and the sun to come out and give us some summer lovin’. Inglot’s Hawaiian Bar Colour collection includes 5 brand new Freedom Eye Shadow colours, 8 new Freedom System Blush shades, 2 new AMC Multicolour System Face and Body Powders, 10 new Sleeks Lip Glosses and 12 new Nail Enamels… I got to play with some goodies from this collection, take a look… From the 5 new Freedom Eye Shadow shades, featured above are colours; #313, #612 and #311. The other two shades from the collection are; #312 and #314. From the 8 new Freedom System Blushes, I tried out #70. I do love the fun, pastel shades of the eye shadows and while the blush does look quite bright in the palette, blending a tiny amount with a brush on your cheeks gives them a lovely summer glow. This palette also reminds me of watermelon! Yum! Bright and bee-u-tiful, Inglot Sleeks Cream #102 is…
