Shine like a star!

It’s the end of the year and you’ll probably have a fair bit of parties to go to. Here are some tips to add some sparkle to your style!

Tip 1
Accessorise!
Easiest way to add shine is with accessories. Get a bejewelled bag, bracelets, a shiny necklace or metallic high heels.

Tip 2
Don’t compete.
If your outfit is already embellished or sequinned, keep accessories simple. Too much and you might look like a well-lit Christmas tree.

Tip 3
Match ‘em
Pair high-shine outfits with soft matte materials like chiffon or silk for a softer look.

Lip Service

Always wanted the luscious lips of Angelina Jolie or Scarlet Johansson? Let us tell you how, with 10 tips in our lip-smacking guide on how to get the perfect pucker! Here are a few easy to remember:

Love your Lips!
Loving it means caring for it as lips are the most sensitive part of the body. So make sure you practise one of the fundamentals of lip care which is slathering on some lip balm containing SPF for maximum protection before leaving the house.

Kick that habit
Have you ever noticed that the tendency of chewing your lip in tense situations might be the reason why they are constantly chapped? Instead of licking them, reach out for that balm and make it a habit to reapply frequently.

Night care
It is important to remove traces of your lipstick before you go to bed. After removal, take a wet washcloth and gently buff lips to remove dead skin cells until they feel satin smooth.

Eco-Warriors or Eco-Wannabes?

Going green is the buzz word of the moment. So much so that even royals, celebrities and rock stars such as Bono, Brad Pitt, Oprah Winfrey and even Prince Charles are riding the green wave. But are these self-confessed ‘green celebs’ really all that green? The Weekly digs a little deeper in our June issue to find out who’s really practising what they preach – and who’s doing it just to look good in front of their fans.
