The Working Week Top 3

Tijan Serena on May 23, 2013 in Beauty
    I’m finding at the moment that there are three products that I look forward to using, three products that instantly give both my complexion and my mood a boost. They are three totally different products but each of them gives my skin a pick-me-up especially this week as I’ve been interning at BeautyMART and getting [...]

Olivia Palermo effortless chic- Get the look for less

Tijan Serena on May 22, 2013 in Fashion
  I’ve been a fan of Olivia’s polished style from her very first scene in The City (hair centre parted, very blonde with two plaits either side and a floaty dress with bare legs) and have followed it ever since. I love the way that she mixes clashing prints and always looks impeccably groomed. Which [...]

Living Proof Hair Primer- Review

Tijan Serena on May 21, 2013 in Beauty
  We’ve had face primers, eyeshadow primers and even lip primers but now we have…hair primers! Last week I finally got my hands on a sample size of Living proof prime style extender. The US haircare brand is the first to bring out a hair primer (as far as I’m aware) that promises to extend [...]

The Dream Creams.

Tijan Serena on May 20, 2013 in Beauty
  It’s grey and it’s Monday which means that this morning we’ll all be reaching for the foundations and concealers that can cover up the weekends sins (too much chocolate, alcohol, vegetating in front of the tv- please circle correct one), however if our skin is a little blotchy/dehydrated/spotty then any make-up is just going [...]

The DIY foundation…Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer

Tijan Serena on May 18, 2013 in Beauty
A few months ago, when my blog was just a newborn, I purchased Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer in the shade SX8- warm yellow-y tone that works very well at neutralising any blemishes. At first I used it solely as a heavy duty concealer for pesky spots and pigmentation that my light weight foundations and tinted moisturisers [...]

The Big Beauty Weekend

Tijan Serena on May 17, 2013 in Beauty
This weekend will be all about finalising the last few bits and bobs of university essays, taking a deep breath, doing copious amounts of sit-ups (three and a half weeks until Mykonos eek) and prettifying myself. Yes, the end of my university life is nigh and now is the time to get myself fully Summer [...]

My new locks…OOTD

Tijan Serena on May 16, 2013 in Fashion Outfit of the Day
Yesterday I bit the bullet and decided to switch up  my honey hued locks for a darker tone- something closer to my natural colour. The blonde had been bothering me for a while, it felt a little bland and didn’t seem to do any favours for my eyes or skin tone and with every wash [...]

Jessica Alba- Get the look for less

Tijan Serena on May 15, 2013 in Fashion
Jessica Alba is one of those women who’s all about the prints and the details. Her style is very LA but her use of prints makes it anything but dull. I love this look for running errands on a warm day (nothing like today though hey!) and I love how she makes the whole outfit [...]

The quick fixes- Spray and Glow.

Tijan Serena on May 14, 2013 in Beauty
Today is a hectic one. I’ve got some Victoria’s Secret tummy crunches and squats to do, an essay to proof read and cross reference and another one to start. It’s one of those days where a hair wash and blow dry is out of the question, I want something quick, effortless and glow enhancing. Makeu-Up [...]
