Lupita Nyong'o is quickly becoming a household name all around the world.This is mainly due to her phenomenal performance as Patsey in Steve McQueen's Sensational 12 years a Slave and her amazing Outfits that stand out on Red Carpets across the Globe. she is essentially the new "IT Girl" Of hollywood.
I first Encountered Lupita as "Ayira" In an African Soap Opera called Shuga in which she played an ambitious party girl who was struggling to make it in life for her family. This was prior to her role in 12 years a slave, so you could have imagined my surprise as I spotted a character I had become so fascinated by as I watched 12 years a slave.
So who is Lupita Nyong'o ?
Lupita (30) was born in Mexico (Hence her Mexican name) and raised in Kenya, Although Lupita was sent back to Mexico at the age of 16 to learn spanish.
She speaks of her bi-cultural upbringing
"it's gotten me into a lot of trouble: Kenyans want to claim me and, now, Mexicans do, too."
Lupita studied "Film and Theatre" at the Hampshire College.
Lupita Speaks of Ralph Fiennes, "When I told him that I wanted to be an actor, he sighed heavily and said, 'Lupita, if there's anything else you want to do in your life, do that. Only act if you can't live without it,'.
Lupita got the first Role she auditioned for after graduating from the Yale school of Drama (12 years a slave), she beat 1000 other Actresses for the role of Patsey.
Lupita found it hard to Admit to herself and her parents that she wanted to be an actress, although she realised if she never did it one day she'd be 60 and regretful that she never took the bold step.
Lupita is the current Face of Miu Miu 2014, alongside Elle Fanning and Elizabeth Olsen.
With a long list of nominations Lupita has already picked up the Screen Actors' guild awards for her supporting role in 12 years a slave and is also nominated for an Oscar too and I wish her the best of luck on the 2nd of march 2014.
Hi Ladies, So 2 weeks ago I had the pleasure of finding out from my Youtube buddy Ellie aka MyMakeUpPerspective that Wet n Wild cosmetics (Which we all hear about so often on Youtube and beauty blogs) had finally come to Ireland. There was so much buzz, everyone from my Makeup artist friends to those that just love makeup where all ready to "Stall it down" to Dunnes Stores who are the official and currently the only stockists of Wet n Wild products.
So What Does Wet N Wild offer the Irish market and where can you buy it?
Wet N Wild currently have Foundations, lipsticks, concealers, mascaras, eyeliners, lip liners nail polishes and many more. Wet N wild products can be bought in all big Dunnes stores in Ireland.
I picked up three beautiful lipsticks to review last week. Let me just start off by saying, I'm always very caution about lipsticks that are drugstore, I always think they are cheaply made and really I have that mentality that "If you want quality, you need to spend more", which applies to alot of things in life and Boy ! with Wet N Wild, was I wrong. !
Ok, before i ramble on, so 3 shades,which I like ALOT, Im having a hard time deciding which I like the most Cherry Bomb or Mauve outta here. the lipsticks are great quality, Cherry Bomb Stays on all day and has a Satin finish to it but still manages to have that body lipsticks should have. Mauve outta here is a great lipstick for any skin tone, dark, light, medium. I haven't seen it on any girl/skin-tone it doesn't suit. Bare it all is a beautiful Tan shade lipstick which for dark skin is a good Neutral tone.
Pros
- Lead free
- Smooth feel
- Doesn't dry out lips
- Last Hours even after eating on lips (Cherry Bomb)
- Great Affordable price -Natural Marine plant extracts
-Contains Vitamins A & E
Cons
- Contains no SPF for Sun protection
- lipstick cap easily smudges the lipstick so care is needed (when opening/closing) if your a neat freak like me. ________________________________
Hello lovelies, been a while but Im BACK!!, If you want to know more about my absence check out My Facebook Page --> Here (Don't forget to click Like !)
So let's get down to business, Here's an outfit I wore recently, It was somewhat a rainy day in Dublin but my photographer/Sister made it work. The pieces I'm wearing in this outfit are mostly pieces I already own or items picked up in the January sales. I did so well this time ladies.... SO WELL ! if i do say so myself. I targeted certain Items I have been Lusting over for Ages and I managed to get them, including my Rihanna for River Island skirt and these Zara heels as well (Post Pending).
Asos was a favourite of mine this "Sale season". I really like the cropped Turtle neck top, especially because of it's long sleeves (I hate my muscly arms!! lol) and I have also been getting ALOT of compliments on the Clock chain, which I adore !!.Last but not least, Im also rocking my Jeffrey Campbell Litas which as super comfy BTW ! I got them in 2012 and I think I have worn them 3 times or something,going to start wearing them more.
Ok, I think that's it for now Dolls !
Ps. Excuse my lack of usual Bubbliness ! Im in bed sick, hopefully ill be 100% soon.
