Benefit Beauty

                             

Savvy style sister's one make up indulgence has got to be Benefit cosmetics. Although quite pricey, they really are worth saving up your pennies for (and there's always a fantastic bargain to be had on popular Benefit products on ebay, just make sure you use a 100% rated, reputable seller).

Savvy style sister make up bag staple is Hoola Bronzer, unlike most bronzers which contain shimmer particles and tend to make you look tangoed rather than tanned, this bronzer is perfectly matte giving you a golden glow fit for goddess. 

Another great buy is the Benefit Primpcess kit. Containing a mini bad gal mascara, 2 powder eye shadows, creme shadow, concealer boi-ing and eye brightener, its all you need to achieve a fabulous, flirty eye in minutes- it even comes with a handy application guide!

Just add a sweep of Dallas blush to the apples of your cheeks, a slick of Bad Gal mascara to your lashes and a spritz of Laugh with me Lee Lee to complete your fresh and fabulously feminine look.

I'm with the skater boy...

Savvy style sister just couldn't resist this skater style dress from ASOS, £45.00. Pair it with neutral accessories for a look that will make you the belle of the ball (or the siren of the skate park). The high neckline balances out the sexy, short hemline making it a must for savvy shoppers with perfect pins.

Even if your legs are more on the sumo wrestler than supermodel side, a towering pair of heels and a slick of fake tan will transform them from grim to gorgeous. Savvy style sister loves these grey zip detail courts, Barratt shoes £26.00

Finally, this feathered clutch from ASOS, £25.00 adds the ideal, finishing style statement to your outfit. The luxurious textured finish will leave you feeling a million dollars, even when your whole outfit cost less than £100!

Organic...

Organic.

Savvy style sister is not sure what it is about that word that conjures connotations of posh people perusing the shelves of Waitrose in their softest cashmere tracksuits following a session of Bikram yoga, their Mulberry handbags perched delicately on their forearms.

In a word, the one thing that springs to mind when someone says "organic" is expensive. 

So when Savvy style sister heard that H&M were debuting a "conscious collection" featuring garments made from organic cotton blends and recycled polyester, Savvy style sister couldn't help but wonder just how high the price of 'going green' with our garments would be.

The answer is: not very high. 

Check out this gorgeous low cut, chiffon, scalloped hem dress for just £29.99




Or why not keep it casual with this delicate lace detail blouse - perfect paired with denim shorts and sandals for simple summer style, £19.99



All in-store and online at H&M today!

Royal Wedding fever

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, it cannot have escaped your notice that the wedding of the decade is only just over a week away. 

Whilst every magazine you seem to open is filled with Royal Wedding memorabilia, Savvy style sister has noticed that the trend for Royal Wedding themed things also extends to a gorgeous make up look for spring/summer '11. 

Whilst Kate Middleton's style for the day is being kept carefully underwraps, Savvy style sister imagines that a flawless, radiant and glowing complexion, paired with nude shadows and fabulous fluttery lashes will be the dish of the day.  A perfectly romantic and feminine look. 


It's rumoured that Kate will be doing her own make up on the day so Savvy style sister shows you the essential products to achieve the regal look on a reasonable budget!


All these products are available at Boots and are are part of the 3 for 2 mix and match across 1000s of make up products promotion!
