Everyone has got a female fashionista in their life; that female that adores clothes and everything fashion.

Well, Christmas is here and you might be wondering, what do I get her this season? She's got clothes and accessories that could last her a lifetime, so what else could you get her this Christmas? Here are some unconventional Christmas gift ideas for the female fashionista in your life.

1) Digital Camera: Every fashionista knows that pictures are underrated. After getting all dressed up and turning the heads of everyone on the street, she will want to take lovely pictures of her adorable self. A digital camera will ensure she's got a collection of her favourite looks and preserve those precious memories. Check out some digital cameras here

2) Tablets: Tablets have become popular over the last couple of years. They are stylish, portable and versatile, performing all the functions of a regular PC. Aside meeting her basic communication needs, she could also step up her social life with this device by sharing her lovely collection of pictures with friends and family via social media. App stores also offer a wide range of applications including fashion apps (ooolala!). Tablets like this Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 or the new iPad Air will work perfectly for her

3) Phone Case/Accessories/ Stands: Of course, every female fashionista has got to be stylish. This item is a great way to step up the appearance of her phone. A variety of phone cases/accessories/ stands like the Red Ferrari California Collection Sleeve or the Bugs Bunny Phone Stand or this tribal print iPhone case or this Neojdx power vault pink portable charger will truly enhance her style.

4) Weighing Scale: This is the season where food, drinks and all the edibles are bound to be available in abundance. Overeating could be very costly, especially for a fashionista. Imagine if her clothes don't fit anymore? Major disaster! You could avoid that by getting her a weighing scale so she could put a check on it. You could also throw in a pack of multivitamins, it'll work wonders for her health.

5) Head phones: Every fashionista needs good music. Let her enjoy her favourite tunes by getting her lovely headphones this Christmas. You could ensure it's her favourite colour to make it more special. Check out different headphones here.

So thanks to our 5 unconventional Christmas Gift Ideas you have got no excuses, you can now shop for that female fashionista in your life! Do you think we covered all the bases? Share your ideas in the comments below

SMALL HAUL!!!!

I ordered some makeup items from Konga.com a while ago and I'm so pleased with what I ordered being the first time I have ever ordered anything online. :D.
I ordered for two beauty blenders, and Elf stipple brush.
I have been looking for the beauty blenders everywhere!!! But it was hard locating it! Konga just stocked it up recently and I immediately jumped at it before it was sold out. Plus it was quite cheap (N850) compared to other prices I came across.
As for the Elf Stipple brush, I have been hunting it since the beginning of this year. Every time I wanted to order for it, it would be sold out!
The delivery was fast. Thumbs up to konga.com!!

SLEEK 'RUSSIAN ROULETTE' LIPSTICK REVIEW

I heard a lot about sleek lipsticks on and I decided to get one....
I chose Russian roulette because it reminded me of MAC Russian red which is a very gorgeous lipstick. Also, I tested it in the store and I loved it!
It's a matte lipstick but not too dry (I don't really like very dry lipsticks).
It's lasts all day and the packaging is good.

Here is a swatch of the lipstick

IMG_0526

Here's what it looks like on my lips:

IMG_0510

Also, I found out that there very little difference between MAC Russian Red and Sleek Russian Roulette. I saw this on a YouTube video. Here's the swatches of the 2 lipsticks:

IMG_0537

left: MAC Russian Red; right: Sleek Russian Roulette

HOW I WEAR THE LIPSTICK:
I use a lip balm first because I sometimes have dry lips. I then use a lip liner and trust me, lip liner helps a lot!
I use MUA Brooding plum lip pencil. I put it all over my lips. This holds the lipstick in and makes it last longer...

"GOLDIE" Makeup

IMG_0352 IMG_0386 IMG_0389 IMG_0390 IMG_0393 IMG_0394

I woke up this morning with a lot of ginger to do makeup and this is what I ended up with....

I'm still a learner when is comes to giving my makeup looks names but i decided to name this "Goldie" because i used more of gold (on my eyes nd lips).

For my lips, i just put a gold eyeshadow from the sleek 'storm' palette on the center of my lips.
I'm very proud of this look!
