Fashion Friday Outfit

Hi Lovelies,

My inspiration for this outfit, was my shirt from Tobi, an online store which has great, unique clothes at an affordable price.

When I walked into work on casual friday, which I commonly call fashion friday, my colleagues coined the term, farm chic and farm glamping! I do have to say, I definitely did feel like I had an edgy farm vibe!!

I paired my cute blue and grey flannel top, with my favourite light denim boyfriend jeans from Dotti, which just have the right amount of style rips and my new Pronto Black heels from Lipstick shoes. These shoes are a dupe for a similar pair that were in Zara, which unfortunately Melbourne Zara never got.

For makeup I went with warm neutral tones and used one of my favourite nude toned lipsticks from Mac called, Honey Love. My hair was straight but I added some volume with big sexyhair, play and spray and I really feel that my ombre (balayage/dip dye) hair was perfect with this look. Overall, I really loved this outfit, it was edgy but still feminine at the same time, as well as being on point with current styles that are popular at the moment.

I hope you like it, enjoy!

Stay sweet xoxo

Fashion Friday outfit post – Melbourne CBD

Hi Lovelies,

It has been a while since I last posted my Fashion Friday outfit posts, the fashion has still been happening on Friday’s, but things have been crazy busy!

So after work last week, my husband and I went for a walk to an alley way off Bourke Street Melbourne, to take this photo. We thought that this was the perfect location considering the outfit that I was wearing. After that we went straight home for pasta and for some much needed rest.

I decided to wear my leather pants from Portmans, I have had them for a while but needed some courage to wear them to work. The reception was great, people loved the look and it generated some office buzz on a Friday! I paired my leather pansts, with a gorgoues deep red knit from Zara and some amazing black suede ankle boots from Sportsgirl.

For accessories, I wore my Michael Kors gold watch, my Tiffany and Co earrings and bracelet.

For my makeup, I used some new exciting products and opted for a statement lip. I wore my Mac Studio Fix fluid foundation, setting it with my Mac Studio Fix powder. I used Mac peaches blush and NARS albatross highlighter to emphasis the top of my checks and brows. I used Maybelline Lasting Drama gel eyeliner and created a winged cat eye and finished the look off my NARS lip pencil in Damned. I loved my makeup that day, it was simple but worked so well with the outfit and I felt dramatic without having a whole lot of makeup on.

The look was so fun and in trend, the different textures paired together with the colour combination worked so well. I loved wearing my leather pants with a knit jumper, pairing the two with ankle boots really gave it that edge.

Try pairing different textures and colours for this Autumn and Winter.

Have a great day guys and stay sweet xoxo

Top 3 Makeup tips for green eyes!

Hi Lovelies,

For all my green eyed beauties, here are my top 3 tips to having captivating green eyes!

1. Play with purples – Bring out your gorgeous green eyes with makeup that is red-based. To widen the look of close-set eyes, apply shades of deep plum eye shadow toward the outer edges and a lighter shader of purple toward the inner eye. If your eyelids are a little droopy, do the opposite. Avoid purples with blue undertones, as well as blue eye shadow and eyeliner. Dark green, lavender, purple, plum or lilac tones work best for green eyed ladies. Gold and copper are great for highlighting green eyes.  A general rule of thumb for green eyes is to choose warm shades vs. cooler shades.

2. Avoid silver – If you want to experiment with metallics, avoid silver shades on the eyes. However, bronze, copper and gold looks absolutely fabulous with green eyes for the evening. Brown or dark green eyeshadow with flecks of gold are also terrific choices.

3. Skip the black eyeliner – Everyone loves black eyeliner but it isn’t the best choice for green-eyed beauties. Use chocolate brown liner for everyday. To spice things up, try grey or gold. To open up your eyes and make them pop, add a little white eyeliner to the inner corner near the tear duct.

Follow these tips and you will be the envy of all friends. I hope this helps and inspires you to try different shades and techniques.

Top 3 Makeup tips for blue eyes!

Hi Lovelies,

For all my blue eyed beauties, here are my top 3 tips to having fabulous blue eyes!

1. Pick the right eyeshadow – For the office, stick with brown, rose, lavender and neutral shades. For a special date, try metallics in silver and gold, turquoise and icy pink shades.

2. Experiement for the evening – For the evening, try a smokey eye look using grey, dark blue or purple shades.

A dark blue shade will bring out the natural blue tones in blue eyes, try dark blue shades combined with black shades for that wow factor.

3. Tone down your lips – Emphasize your gorgeous blue eyes, whether they are pale blue or deep sapphire, by toning down your lip color. Pick a matte lipstick in a peachy brown shade. For your cheeks, add a light sweep of blush in a very natural hue.

I hope this helps lovelies, try out these colour combinations for a glamouros look.

Stay sweet xoxo

Top 3 Makeup tips for brown eyes!

Hi Lovelies,

For all my brown eyed beauties, here are my top 3 tips to having smouldering brown eyes!

1. For deep brown eyes – If your eyes are dark brown, medium to dark shades of eye shadow will work for you. Try plum, forest green or charcoal grey. The best shades are dark brown, mauve, gold and bronze.  

2. For medium brown eyes – Medium to light brown eyes can try green, violet or bronze shades. Medium brown eyes can wear almost any colour of eye makeup. Experiment by pairing neutral shadow with metallic eyeliner in copper or bronze for a dramatic evening look.

3 . For light brown eyes – Avoid using black eyeliner, use dark brown or other colours instead. For something a bit different, apply a neutral shade of shadow on the lid, a darker hue of the same colour in the crease, then line your eyes in gold or green to reflect the flecks of colour in your iris. If your eyes are hazel, try champagne tones with violet, bronze or brown liner.

I hope this helps, try these tips out and see if you can notice the difference.

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette Review

Hi Lovelies,

It is that time again, another product review.

Today I will be reviewing the widely loved – Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. I have heard so much about this palette and there was a lot of buzz surrounding it’s release.

Well, my verdict… I love it. The are a few main points as to why this palette is worthy of all it’s hype.

The colour range that you get in Naked 2 palette is amazing. Of course it goes to say as with any Urban Decay eyeshadows, they are very pigmented. The eyeshadows go on well, they have a great texture and can be easily applied. They blend very easily and because of this you can really achieve a flawless look. The colour range is very complementary, there are many shades that can be used as a highlight under your brow bone and in the inner corners of your eyes. There are also plenty of shades that can be used on the entire lid and a lot of them can be mixed to create a more subtle or dramatic look. And lastly the all important shades that create the smokey eye, from browns to a matte black, they are all there.

When I use this palette, I am able to create many different looks. You can easily go from day to night and create a look for any special occasions.

The packaging is also very good with this palette, it is sturdy and the colours stay put. It also comes with a dual brush in case you are low on brushes in your collection.

My overall rating is 8.5/10 – I really enjoy using this palette, the colours, texture and pigments are amazing. The eyeshadows also have great longevity and last all day and night.

I love using Tease on the crease of my eyelid to blend out a smokey eye, Foxy as a highlight colour under my brow bone and YDK for smoking out your bottom lash line.

Have a look at my Bold lip using the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette on my makeup channel on youtube, makeupbydulcelissa.

I hope this inspires you to create more bold and stunning looks. It is always fun to try new and exciting products, there is no right and wrong way of doing things, just what ever works for you.

Have a great day and remember stay sweet xoxo

Edgy Floral Outfit Post!

Hi Lovelies,

I thought I would share with you a recent look I put together while filming my recent makeup tutorial. This look uses two very different styles, but somehow when put together they are a match made in heaven! The look is something in between a floral girlie style with a grunge edge.

The top is gorgeous and is from H&M, it is floral and has black panels on the sides and around the collar. Another beautiful feature of this top is the back, it has buttons all the way down, this adds to the feminine style of it. I decided to make this look more edgy and paired the top with my Portmans leather skinny pants and my Tony Bianco patent black heels.

I went simple with the accessories and wore a silver cuff from Lovisa, a grogoues silver and turquoise ring my sister got for me from Venice Beach LA and my Tiffany and Co silver ball earrings.

The makeup also made this look more bold and edgy, with the dark lipstick NARS Damned lip pencil and the cool browns and greys on my eyes. I used the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette and the Too faced Naked Eye Palette. I finished off the look with Mac Cosmetics blush in peaches and highlighted my face with Mac’s Soft and Gentle highlighting powder.

I was so excited about this look and I will definitely wear this on a night out.

I loved this look, the combination of naughty and nice worked so well together, opposites do attract! I hope this inspires you to place different styles together and create a standout look for any occasion.

Enjoy my fellow fashion and makeup addicts and remember stay sweet xoxo

Wedding Night – Outfit Post

Hi Lovelies,

I recently went to a wedding and wanted to show you all my look that I was rocking.

I went hell for leather with this chic edgy look!

The dress is so on trend and was such great value. I bought it on sale from Target, can you believe! I added black strappy shoes from Novo and went for gold accessories. My matching necklace and earrings were from Colette and added some contrast and bling to the outfit.

I went all out with my makeup and wanted to pop and create drama. I used Chanel Perfection Lumiere foundation, paired with Mac Studio Fix powder to set the foundation. I used Mac Gleeful mineralise blush and Fix+ to set my makeup and to give me a dewy look. For my eyes, I used Urban Decay Naked 2 palette and used gold, brown and black colours all blended out. I added a black winged liner and used Benefit they’re real mascara. For the final addition to this look and the one that I was most excited about, I put Mac Ruby Woo lipstick on my lips.

The colour combination of the red lipstick, gold accessories and the black leather dress really worked together. I loved this look and will definitely wear it again.

I hope you enjoyed this outfit post and remember stay sweet xox

Fashion Friday Outfit post – Comedy Club Melbourne CBD

Hi Lovelies,

I thought I would share with you my fashion friday, outfit  post!

Friday after work I stayed back in the city and watched a comedy show with my husband and some friends, so of course I put together a fun outfit that was fun and comfortable.

I decided to wear my new favourite H&M top which my mum recently bought me from her trip to the States, it’s a gorgeous pink colour and has gold stud detailing, I paired my top with my black jeans from GAP and my tan/camel suede ankle boots from Sandler.

For accessories, I wore my guess watch, my Tiffany and Co bracelet and mesh earrings.

For my makeup, I used some new exciting products and opted for a dewy look with girlie pink lips. I wore Mac cosmetics Snob lipstick, which I love, it is a beautiful pink shade. I also had on my Chanel perfection lumiere foundation, orgasm blush from NARS and soft and gentle highlighter from Mac. I used my new Too Faced, Naked Eye palette and opted for pink and grey hues on my eyes.

The look was so fun and girlie, with the combination of pink from my H&M shirt and my Snob coloured lips.

Have a great day guys and stay sweet xoxo
