Fashion Icon: Bianca Jagger

Those who have seen my last fashion post are aware that Bianca Jagger is a huge fashion muse to me. Here are some of her iconic outfits that left me in awe!


The Jumpsuit





Bianca Jagger turned heads when she would rock her signature look which were jumpsuits. Jumpsuits were extremely popular during the seventies but the way Bianca styled them was very unique. This is probably my favorite fashion look from her! From the turban to the gloves.


The Floppy Hat


Bianca's wedding outfit is probably her top iconic outfit. Many celebrities today such as Kim Kardashian and Amal Clooney have recreated this look. She wore this on her wedding day with Mick Jagger. It is definitely not like the common wedding dress which made it to be iconic.

The Pants Suit
























Some may think the pants suit is not quite flattering but I think it's lovely. If you think a pants suit is too masculine, try to add a bit of sexiness or feminine.  Bianca  would add a low cut blouse or a dress blouse. Both are lovely. I still love seeing women in pants suits today!

Current Drugstore Favorites



As promised, here are my current drugstore favorites!

 

 I have been currently using Real Techniques brushes religiously. The bristles are extremely soft and blends product effortlessly. These brushes are amazing quality and are only under 10 bucks each or for a set 20 bucks. As most of you may know that brushes can be extremely expensive. A big thanks to Sam and Nic who created these brushes! 

I always have expectations when I comes to pressed powders because I like to have a powder that set my makeup and also touch up without looking cakey. This sets my makeup very well and you only need a little dusting throughout the day.

I absolutely love lip cream and liquid lipsticks but they can get a little pricey. Luckily, NYX has an amazing selection of lip cream that are only $5.99. As of lately, I've been wearing the color Cannes and it is a great everyday lip color. This drys to a complete matte finish without the intense drying of the lips. Every lip cream that I tried from this line has be pigmented and great!

This is probably one of the best drugstore cheek highlighter that I have ever used. Most highlights that I had purchased at the drugstore are always glittery. As for this one, it gives a luminous shimmer. I was told that this is actually a dupe to M.A.C's Soft and Gentle which is $32.00. As for the e.l.f. blush, it is only 3 bucks! A mega-steal!

Hard Candy Glamoflauge Foundation 
If you have tried the concealer of this, you know how thick it is. The foundation happens to feel very thin and light, but the pigmentation is phenomenal. The texture feels very similar to bb cream but has coverage like a foundation. I think this is very similar to M.A.C. Pro Longwear, but if you read my last post I'm allergic to it. This is next best thing and it's only 7 bucks!

Current Favorite 'Luxurious' Products

I have not been consistent with my blog, so I thought I would gather my current favorite beauty products that make me feel a bit fancy-schmancy. I will be doing a drugstore/high-street products post as well later this week. Keep an eye out for that!


Butter London Nail Lacquer in Ladybird
These nail varnishes are not like any regular nail varnishes that I have tried. This applies almost like a gel nail polish which leaves a lovely shine. I only had to apply two coats. The polish is opaque and vivid, so I did not to stress about the application! The color is a lovely bright, tomato red which is great for summer. The polish lasted about 8-10 days which I believe is phenomenal.

Daisy by Marc Jacobs
This is my signature scent and my absolute favorite fragrance EVER! This is a fresh, crisp scent that is perfect for spring and summer but it's crisp enough to wear into fall and winter. I'm usually more into muskier scents such as Gucci's Guilty but I seem to never stop wearing Daisy!

Too Faced Soul Mates Blushing Bronzer Duo in Ross & Rachel
I think it may be a tad obvious that I love the name of this product! But the product itself is amazing. Bronzer is very important for a pale gal like myself. It's not too dark for fair complexions and it isn't too light for dark complexions. I use this for bronzing and adding "life" to my pale, ghoulish skin. The little blush in this product is awesome! It's highly pigmented and has a radiant sheen to it which gives a healthy glow. I  know that I am going to use the heck out of this thing during summer.

Jo Malone Vitamin E Lip Conditioner 
 As a person who struggles with dehydrated lips, this stuff is gold. This targets all the dryness on my lips and it leaves my lips smooth. After a week or two of using this, I began to notice my lips being less chapped. I learned that the vitamin E protects the lips from the damaging effects of the environment such heat and wind . This is one of the best lip conditioners I had ever put on my lips!

Nars Blush in Sin
I have been using this as both a blush and an eyeshadow. I'm in love with the healthy, radiant afterglow that it gives to my face. The gold undertones look lovely with a bronzed face which has been my go-to look as of lately. The color is a berry color with gold shimmers in it which is great for fall as well! Nars blushes are probably my favorite from the other brands because of how pigmented and radiant they are.

HAPPY MONDAY! XOXO
