New Years Eve Party Dress INSPIRATION

Thank you for the overwhelming response regarding suggestions for the blog come 2014. I am so excited for some of the new ideas I've received, & look forward to putting these posts together for you in 2014. 

My vision for the Fashion by Brett Robson blog is essentially personal style, & showcasing ideas to inspire the use of affordable, fashionable pieces in your closet. This post is a perfect example of some of the inspiration I would like to share with you. If I was going out on New Years Eve, this is how I would dress. I have selected party dresses that I think are beautiful, & that will make a statement.

I look forward to another successful year as we continue our journey in fashion.

Have a great Christmas & blessed New Year.

Beauty Review: Skin Repbulic Neck & Decolletage Repair

Skin Republic sent me this Neck & D�colletage Anti-Aging Treatment a little while ago, & I only just tried it this week! I usually take very good care of my skin but I must admit that I never really pay attention to my d�colletage area. Well not special attention at least.

Ok so let me tell you a bit about this treatment.

This is a 20 minute treatment where by you place a mask over you neck & d�colletage area. The mask is something like a wet-wipe, except it has all sorts of ingredients in it like Vitamin C & E, Aloe, Green Tea, Witch Hazel, & Marine Collagen.

As this is an anti-aging treatment, it aims to improve tone & elasticity in this ever so delicate area. It is also said to visibly lift your skin, as well as reduce the appearance of freckles & age spots. 

Now while I am quite young, I don't usually use anti-aging products, and so I cannot comment on that aspect of the treatment, however, I can tell you about my experience with it.

I loved how moisturized my d�colletage area was after usage. As I mentioned before, I don't pay any special to this area of my body so this was a treat. The skin was also very soft & supple, with a glow. Like that feeling after you leave an amazing facial?! Well like a facial except just for my neck & d�colletage lol. 

Most products will not give you instant results with regard to anti-aging, however with continuous usage you may start to see a real improvement in the elasticity & tone of your skin. 

If you would like more info on this product & other Skin Republic products click here.

And if you would like to purchase this product, try your nearest Clicks, Edgars, Red Square & Dis-Chem. And if you're an online junkie like me, click here.

Have you tried it? Let me know what you think :)

#TBT Got Inked

Thought I would share these photos from when I got my "la belle muse" tattoo a few month ago. I was just looking at them & thought you might like to see them. This tattoo is tried for 1st place with the tattoo on my side/under my arm. It is really beautiful & feminine, & I am so glad Igot to share the experience with my friend Angelique & her fianc� Craig (he's a photographer).

Baseball Jacket Chic {OOTD}

 Jacket (Edgars kids) Sneaker Wedges (PLUM via Zando) / Gold Bracelets (Sass Diva)

Durban Fashion Fair aka DFF was last week & although I was really busy & didn't intend on attending any shows; I did receive a designer invite from Thula Sindi - & who am I to say no to that?! I had a busy day at the office, as well as seeing 2 friends straight from work & then straight to the show I went - plus I had only gotten 2 hours of sleep from the night before as I was prepping for a trend forecast presentation I was doing on that Friday! Geez sounds even more exhausting thinking about it!

Well this look was very casual & comfortable, which is how I wanted to feel after my late night & busy day. It is very different for me, but I think some of you may relate to the look & like it. I shot these before work so I still look alive, lol by the time I got to the show I looked kinda dead! hehe

What do you think of my look?

These were my 2 favourite looks from the show!

Beauty Review: SAMPAR Glamour Shot Eyes

 I attended an Edgars/Redsquare beauty launch in Johannesburg a couple weeks ago; along with some great bloggers from all over the country (I was the only 1 from Durban #boohoo). One of the many new brands launching at Edgars was Sampar. The Parisian skincare brand which is ranked #13 in Europe. 

Glamour Shot Eyes is the perfect product for anyone who suffers from puffiness, dark circles etc. In 1 minute this product will make you look more awake & almost act as a concealer. I had tried this product at the launch & was instantly impressed. And you know me, anything to help mask my dark circles!

I have since used it at home & I tried it 2 ways; with & without concealer underneath. I find that if used on top of my concealer it created an odd texture under my eye & my eye seemed to look unconcealed. However, without any concealer on I could immediately see a difference. So my suggestion would be not to use it with a liquid concealer underneath.

I am travelling to New York later today & I am absolutely taking this with me. My work literally starts as we land & so I will need a pick me up for my eyes. 

SAMPAR Glamour Shot Eyes is sold exclusively at Edgars & retails for R295.

GOSH Cosmetics Review

Today I review a few GOSH Cosmetics products that landed on my desk. I am going to tell you a bit about my experience using the BB Cream, Waterproof Eye Shadow, Intense Lip Colour, & the Long Lasting Eye Liner Pen.  GOSH is stocked in Edgars & Red Square stores nationwide.  If you want to see more of what GOSH has to offer, click here.

GOSH BB Cream

I love BB Creams, & have been trying quite a few. This BB is SPF 15, & can also be used as a foundation primer. I use the 02 Beige color. It is not oily, & I didn't have to use powder with it. I still had to make sure I used concealer with it as it didn't cover my dark circles, although most BB Creams wouldn't.

GOSH Mineral Waterproof Eye Shadow

This is in the 003 Brown which I love! I love natural eye shadow colors. It is a cream shadow so there is no fall-out which is always good. It blends well.

GOSH Intense Lip Colour

This is in the 306 shade, which is a rich red color. It is a highly pigmented gloss, & I absolutely love that this comes with a light on the applicator which is a great for when you are out. I would suggest you use a lip liner with it as it does bleed out a bit. 

GOSH Long Lasting Eye Liner Pen

Colour is 001 Green. My fav thing about this liner is the applicator pen. I always prefer a pen appliactor as it is easier to apply. The liner is a dark green colour with a slight shimmer, but is subtle enough that you can use it in the day time. It is a great alternative to black liner.
