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.

Handbag (Blackcherrry Bags) / Luggage (River Island) 

It's official! I am done traveling for 2013. This last trip to Johannesburg & Swaziland earlier this week marked the end of my travel for work (& personal). I will probably be working up until Monday, & then I go on leave until early January.

When you've had the kind of year that I have, well then you're actually quite excited to spend a week & half not doing much. It gives me the chance to recuperate  & work on a few little things I've been neglecting. I'm quite excited about it actually.

#WhatsYourBB? Garnier SA is looking for you!

Garnier has recruited me, & a few other bloggers to help spread the BB love with this awesome #WhatsYourBB campaign. 

During this campaign you can look forward to reviews, spot prizes, & most importantly the search for 1 special lady to join me for a special pamper day with Garnier & the 5 other participating bloggers & their chosen readers in Johannesburg. Sounds fun right?!

While the spot prizes will happen at random, the actual search for the girl who join me & Garnier for the pamper day will take place from now until 31 January 2014. 

What do you have to do to join me for the pamper day?

Well, I am targeting girls with oily/combination skin (not sure if that's you - read below). All you have have to do is submit a motivation (tell me a bit about your skin issues; why you should be chosen; where you're from etc) & a picture to blog@brettrobson.com 

**Please note, you do not have to reside in Jhb to enter. We will take care of logistics :)

How to identify if you have Oily/Combination Skin?

If a person has oily skin, the skin is usually oily over the whole face. If only their T-panel is oily, i.e. the forehead, down the nose and chin, then they have combination to oily skin. Oily skin needs to be hydrated, by drinking water. Oily skin naturally produces too much oil, so a light & watery moisturizer is recommended.

Follow Garnier SA on Twitter (here) & Facebook (here) to stay in the loop of what's happening :)

RIRI Hearts MAC Fall Collection

YAY RiRi Hearts MAC is finally here! I have been so excited for this collection! In New York & Dubai I was asking the MAC girls when it's launching (in the hopes that it would be sooner than South Africa) but alas not. Anyway, on the day it launches in South Africa - not only was I not sure of the date, but I also happened to be having a busy day at the office. So there I sat while twitter & instagram was ablaze with pictures! I was experiencing serious FOMO! So I rushed to MAC after work & could not find the Talk That Talk & RiRi Woo lipsticks! I was so sad. I literally shed a few tears! How could they be SOLD OUT? Then an amazing amazing friend went to another branch & quickly got them for me - LUCKILY!! Well, I'm sure you can tell by my pictures - I'M EXCITED!!! I actually wore the TALK THAT TALK today, & it looked great on me, however in a photograph with my Nikon it almost drained the colour from my face. Anyway, I will post pictures that I take specifically for  a review on them. For now, feast your eyes! xx

Floral & Denim Queen {OOTD}

Top (H&M) / Denim shorts (bought in New York) / Heels (Mr Price) / Flower Crown (Forever21) 

I'm oh so festival chic in this look right?! That's how I felt wearing it. I wore this look from Hong Kong into mainland China (Guangzhou). It was my first time driving across the border & not taking the train. Interesting experience indeed. There was even a "drive-thru-immigration" lol

These shorts are very very short, but in China EVERYONE walks around in shorts all day. All ages & shapes. Its so hot here, its really the only thing to do!

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.

Resort

My favorite  resort 2014 looks are by Lanvin, Chloe, Peter Pilotto, Matthew Williamson, Fausto Puglisi and Emilio Pucci. Resort collections are an exciting inspiration source to check or shop before taking off to our  preferred  destinations! Don't forget to pack gladiator sandals, pieces in vibrant colors, short shorts, funky prints, statement jewelry and modern t-shirts.  

HOT Houndstooth Dress

Dress c/o (HOT !gloo via Sassychic) | Heels (Woolworths) | Bag (Mr Price)

How HOT is this dress!!! Oh my word guys, this dress makes me feel so damn sexy I kid you not.  It's not that obvious sexy, but rather that grown up sexy feeling you know. Hot !gloo has some other pretty cool pieces that you can check out here.

Today is just a beautiful day in Durban as well, so perhaps that is helping my mood along. There was a slight drizzle as I got in the car & headed to work after shooting these, but still the sun was shining. I hope you all are having an amazing day just like me!
