Trend : BOHO Marks



Its been the most HOT fashionable item recently and its going to remain so for the rest of the summer.

I like the fact that these 'Temporary tattoos' as they call it lasts about 4-7 days or so depending on how you maintain it. I think its fun and quirky because it comes in funky patterns that are silver and gold in colour and I see that it comes in a combination of blue and silver too which is different from the normal dull looking tattoos and the metallic factor just makes it more outstanding.

I haven't got my hands on these cool looking tattoos but by the looks of it everybody wants to get them and by the reviews I have read its certainly a summer MUST HAVE.

Would you wear these temporary tattoos? If so you can tweet me some pics @thefabdiary if you have your hands on them already.

Beauty : The Perfect Summer Hair Gadget

Ladies... always fighting with those tangles in your hair?? Well I have one super awesome gadget, well actually a brush that I recommend every girl should own. I'm sure you must have seen it at a salon when you last got your hair done well..
Its a plastic type brush , round that goes into the palm of your hands giving you a better grip when brushing out your hair. This brush is so effective getting tangles out quickly once your hair has just been washed. It has been on the market for a long long time I guess, not sure but anyway I love it and thought I'd share my thoughts on it.

Why get one:

  • Perfect for those beach days after that refreshing swim and your hair looks all nasty you can comb it all out so that it can dry with no knots at all.
  • Small and compact for your bag. 
  • Works perfect on tangled or dried hair.
  • Especially if your hair is long like mine ,I find it better to use than a normal brush.



I absolutely love this brush,Have you used one before ?? what are your thoughts

If you interested you can send me an email thefabulositydiary@gmail.com (While stocks last).It should also be available at your nearest salon.

Thanks for reading.

Review : MAC Haute and Naughty Lash Double Effect Mascara

Hello Again Fab Readers

So I've been asked why I'm I not blogging anymore ?? well things have just been hectic and don't worry I'm trying to get into a routine again hope you understand :)

As You all know I'm not that familiar with make-up but it does fascinate me to learn about new and different products and then trying it out if it grabs my attention.

I'm 'Plain Jane' when it comes to applying make-up to my face by just applying the basics such as:
  • BB cream
  • Blush
  • Eye pencil
  • And sometimes foundation
My Beauty Item Favorite this month is...
I'm currently using is the MAC Haute and Naughty Lash Double effect Mascara that I recently added to my make-up routine. I instantly loved the packaging and the "double effect" term also caught my attention so I figured why not try it out.
What I love about this product is that it gives you not one but two options
1. Giving your lashes a more natural relaxed look with minimal effort.
2. Giving your lashes a more full look.


When removing the pink top first we see the excess of the mascara being left behind... 

 In this pic we see that there is not much mascara on the brush therefore lashes will look more effortless.

In this pic the purple top has been opened and more mascara is on the brush therefore lashes will have a fuller look.

Results:

 Using the pink top = effortless lashes

Purple top = Fuller lashes
(Thanks to my little cuzzie for letting me use her lashes lol)

I've used mascara's but rarely, but I think adding mascara to my routine from now on definitely because I've noticed it makes a better appearance through my specs(as I have to wear them everyday).

I rate this product 4/5 only because it does get messy a bit compared to a waterproof mascara(by Yardly)I used as this one did not smudge against my lenses of my specs but otherwise its perfect for everyday use.

So what's your favorite mascara ? let me know I would love to try them out.

Thanks for reading.

Review : Essence Ice Cream Range


Hello Beauties 

I've been using these Essence products that I received as a gift a few months ago, and I'm loving the 'Me and My Ice Cream' range from Essence . I thought it would be perfect to post about these products since it is Spring and its perfect for the season(but Cape Town's weather lately I don't know lol) but anyway I cannot get enough of the collection, firstly because the whole range is all pastel colours which I love and secondly I like how neutral all the products are,as you know I'm not one that would easily rock bold make-up its rarely that I do so, once in a while is fine for me and this is just fine for my daily routine. 



 I love the eye shadow because it gives off a shiny look on your eyelids not looking too much(im not a fan of eye shadow really but this works for me.)

 The shimmer pearls I can't get enough of ,if you looking for extra shimmer on your face this is a must try.

 Want a bit of shimmer on your lips then this lip balm is perfect for you.

 Looking for pink cheeks the cream blush can do that.


You can find these at clicks stores at an affordable price , there are more items such as nail polish,nail stickers and hand wipes , so get your Ice Cream Collection and let me know what you think?..because I totally love it :)

till next time

The Fabulosity Diary turns 1

On 5th September 2014 my blog turned 1 ...OMG!!! Its been one year of blogging already. I just want to thank all my followers and readers that I have so far and for always encouraging me with your awesome motivating comments, I don't have as much followers as yet but so thankful to those who have been reading. I don't post as much as I planned but in the short span of my year of blogging I'm surprised at myself for actually for keeping on with it and not leaving it as a "phase" I was going through. I must admit it was a tough decision to start a blog but glad I did , although sometimes I feel its difficult because I might not know a lot about the blogging world or what people like reading but I'm willing to learn and grow in this 'blogosphere world' and share my interest with those who enjoy my content .

Hopefully I'll be able to keep on blogging(which I probably will because I enjoy it..) and bring you some awesome content in the future.I hope you enjoyed what I've blogged thus far.
Enjoy the rest of the week.

Hi Lovelies

Cape Town has been experiencing some really mixed up weather lately cold ,hot ,windy then cold again but nevertheless it is still Winter after all but so thankful that 'summer' weather being very keen to show up on weekends lately, aaahh nothing like some sunshine.

Over the weekend the weather was really lovely and I took advantage of this beautiful weather dressing in bright colours and prints.

Saturday Look
 I settled for a printed harlem pants with a denim shirt,reflected sunnies and white tommy takkies to finish the look.


Sunday Look
It was such a beautiful sunny Sunday and I decided to be bright wearing a yellow maxi skirt with a striped black and white tee adding a tan belt with some leopard pumps.

This not being like my other 'look posts' because I had no time to snap further pics(sad) , but I wanted to share the spring/summer fever I've had over the weekend, I simply cannot wait to put more spring/summer looks together.  

What do you think of my weekend outfits?? 

Are you ready to rock some bright colours and prints for the up coming seasons ??

DIY : Turban Style

Bad hair day?? No need to stress, just add a turban to your head and you can turn heads. Grab your headscarf or 'doek' as some may call it or ready bought turban and get your styling on. There are various ways in which one can style your turban leaving your head looking fashionable as ever.

The turban trend seems to fit into all four seasons of the year hot or cold it seems to work for all occasions. I love the fact that it can add so much edge to an outfit , I've been so obsessed with turbans but don't find the courage to wear one and go out in public because personally I don't think it 'suit me' but I still love it and admire how great people look in their styled turbans.

Feeling lazy and don't feel like using a headscarf to make a turban? Well you know those plain coloured ready made turbans (you can just put on your head like a cap) that you can easily find at markets for R20 or more, which will also work well for a bad hair day.

I also decided to show and share a quick and easy DIY way to make a ready bought turban cap look chic.

All you need:

  • Broach of your choice   
  • Ready bought turban 
  • I love this broach because it has a vintage look.

    Choose turban colour of your choice, so many to choose from ..I love this colour it will lighten up an outfit.

    Attach Broach to the center , be careful not to hurt yourself.

    Quick DIY embellished turban.

    And your DIY turban is complete :) (psst don't you love my model haha)

    Tip: Be creative by adding flowers , head chains, or whatever you feel just be creative.


    Here are some turban pics for more inspiration :


    There are so many other ways one can style a turban than in the pics above, these are just some of my favorites I came across. (I do not take credit for these images)


    Hope You enjoyed this post .. How do you rock your turban?? (Tweet some pics to me, I would love to see)

    Lazy Sunday

    Hello Fab Readers 

    Hope you are all doing fine  ... oh before I forget to all my readers who celebrated Eid last week I hope you had a wonderful day with your loved ones and hope you all enjoyed the beautiful holy month of Ramadaan.

    I've decided to do a short post since I do have free time on my hands (so happy to at least be posting something again lol )... So the other day a friend asked me where are the blog posts ?? Well to be honest time never seems to be on my side and I never get that time to chill by the pc and get my posts together(never knew it would be this hard to be constant, I always thought I'd manage to post regularly). Yes, what a poor excuse you must be thinking but I am trying my best to juggle my time and make effort to blog more. Maybe I should label myself as the occasional blogger for now because I don't like apologizing for my absence all the time #CantWatchFace...So don't worry if I'm MIA for a while I don't forget about you readers and always thinking of putting great posts together for you guys to read.

    Anyhoo its Sunday the day is almost over and all I did for the day was chill as in "THE PERFECT LAZY SUNDAY" .



    Here is what I've been up to today:
    • chilling in my pjs
    • listening to my favourite songs
    • catching up on my series 
    • drinking loads of hot chocolate and munchies
    What is your favourite thing to do on a lazy day/Sunday/weekend ???


    Have a lovely week ahead :)

    Baby Lips by Maybelline has finally reached South African shores ,okay I might be a bit delayed as it came out a few months ago as I only got my hands on it recently. Ever since it came out people have been raving about this super cute packaged lip product and I had to own one, so adorable. I simply love this product no complaints and recommend that every girl should have one of these in her bag. 

    Why Buy this product:
    • Only R24.95 (ZAR)
    • Cute Packaging
    • Each lip balm has its unique scent
    • Gives moisture and does not leave lips pealing
    • Available in 6 colours
    • Available at Clicks or Dischem 

    Most adorable packaging ever,don't you just love it?

    Peach Kiss and Pink Punch are the ones I have atm .(These flavours above both add colour to your lips,peach kiss giving it a brownish more natural look and the pink punch gives a barbie lip kinda touch)

    Totes the perfect Bag Accessory :)

    Tartan #OOTD

    Just about a few months ago my cousin gave me this tartan jacket that she felt she would not wear anymore and with no hesitation she handed it over to me and said I could have it.

    lovely hey??


    Not knowing 'Tartan' would be one of autumn/winter most popular trend ever, I was more than happy and could not wait to style this jacket.

     I decided to pair this jacket with a slouchy ripped jean, white statement tee and my white chuck taylors (a.k.a converse) and casual black sling bag and a messy bun to complete the look.








    So.. I took these simple pieces and added the tartan jacket to add a twist 
    Simple and Casual I love it.

    So what do you think of my look? How would you style your tartan jacket?

    Tee : Mr Price (old)
    Necklace : Mr Price
