Styling Denim Shirt in Three Easy ways!


Hi Fam!

How are you doing?

It's been a long time that I've put up a blog-post.So,here I am to share my styling tips with the Universe. :) #styledbyglamnglaze

Today I am gonna let you know how to style a simple denim shirt in three different ways...so let's get started.

First Look:(From left side,first pic in the collage):
Striped clothing piece is one of my personal favorites.For the first look,I chose black and white striped tee,jet black jeggings and wore a blue denim shirt.Left it unbuttoned.Wore a pair of sunglasses -white-framed to sync up the whole look.Completed the look with white Adidas sneakers!




Second Look (Denim on Denim - Middle pic in the collage):

I chose to pair my denim shirt with denim shorts.Tied the shirt's loose ends as a knot for a smarter-look.Accessorized the look by adding hoop earrings,tan colored belt,bag and finished off the look by wearing plain white sneakers #sneakerlover :D
This look is my favourite.


Third Look (Last pic in the collage):

Here I chose to wear black spaghetti top with ripped denim skirt.Denim shirt as a cover-up.Accesorized the look by adding Black-framed sunglasses,black coloured ankle boots.Finished off the look with a white backpack.
Belt,sunglasses and boots matched.So,entire outfit looked cohesive in my opinion.

Which look did you like the most? Do lemme know in the comment-section below.

That's it for today.I will definitely see you super duper soon with another interesting blog-post...adios!!!

Take care my lovely fam. :)

                                     In Pic: Shown colour-coded sticker at the bottom of the lipstick

Formula & Texture:
  • This lipstick has got a creamy-finish
  • Very pigmented.One single swipe is enough to cover-up any lip-pigmentation
  • Satin-finish of the lipstick makes the lips look luscious
  • Very comfortable on the lips and doesn't bleed.
  • Doesn't settle into the fine-lip lines.Keeps lips moisturized for a really long time
  • Sets quickly on the lips and after few hours looks kind of matte on the lips.Yes,the sheen goes away as the time passes
  • Survives light snacks.After a heavy meal,we need to re-apply the lipstick Stains the lips as it's a very dark shade.
  • Re-application is easy and layering up the product doesn't look patchy.
  • Doesn't flake or feather unless you have chapped lips
  • Not transfer-proof. Transfers a lot.
  • Not smudge-proof
Longevity:
Lasts for about five hours (max).This lipstick can be removed easily using a makeup-wipe or a remover.Long lasting lipstick...I must say.

Con:
Transfers a lot!

Overall,I love this lipstick and you must try at least one shade out of the fifteen shades available.The lipsticks in the Ultimate colour collection are very pigmented and long-lasting at the same time.There are awesome shades available...from nudes to bold reds they have it all.Cool collection!

Will I re-purchase?
Yes. Also, this shade is an addition to my existing Catrice Ultimate Color lipstick collection. Would love to try out other shades from this range.Love the formula to bits!

Rating : 4.5/5

Tips: Lining out lips before applying the lipstick is a good idea.Also,don't forget to prep-up the lips by exfoliating and applying a generous amount of lip balm.Then,wipe off the lip balm exactly before applying the lipstick
