The Faux Blonde Blog Update…

Wow, it’s been a while and I truly missed typing at a blank page.

From the title you can tell what this blog will be about and I think it’s to just let it all out and say how I’ve been feeling. Since starting this blog, there has been so much change in my life and the change has truly been overwhelming and actually down right exhausting. But, I’m alive and I am at peace enough to share where I…

MBFWJ’17 Review

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Joburg took place last week at a new venue – Waterfall Park at the Mall of Africa in Kyalami, Midrand. This year, I was unable to attend and had such FOMO, however I couldn’t not keep up with Africa’s greatest designers. Before we get into it, I have to give some recognition to AFI and the Motsepe’s for their devotion to showcasing African fashion on a global stage.…

Teen Choice Awards 2017: My Best Looks of the night

The Faux Blonde is definitely about fashion and beauty, so you’d best believe that when there is an award  show, there will be a list of favourites. In particular, there is no fault to Zendaya and Vanessa Hudgens at any award show. And I have to say, watching young people conquer Hollywood is so refreshing and inspiring – given that they are just little kids. With that said, take a look at my…

Cleansing Routine when Removing my Makeup

Lately, I have been obsessed with skincare – even more than makeup. Having flawless skin comes with much commitment and patience. My skin isn’t where I want it to be in my quest for porcelain but, it’s slowly getting there. I’ve learned that cleansing properly is the most important part of havng good, glowing skin. Now, I’ve done a post on my moisturising routine and how to transform your skin…

Party/ Night Out Makeup Tutorial

The blogging world is so much fun. I get to share my loves and ideas to the world and the awesome thing is, so many around the world relate and share the same ideas and love of the same beauty and fashion products. Watching the response to my blog has been so motivating and I decided to start a Youtube Channel. So far, I have 4 videos in total (time and editing sometimes clash) and it has been so…

The Best Oils for your Skin

When thinking of oils for your skin, you’d never think they’d be a good choice for a skin care product. However, over time I’ve learned that oils are actually great for plumpier, more glowing skin. I decided to create a video for you all, explaining my favourite oils and the reason why oils are great for your skin. Enjoy! P.s. Don’t forget to subscribe and give it a thumbs up if you like. x Amber…

Get to know Me!

In honour of my 25th birthday, I’ve decided to do a post of 25 things ‘About Me’ 🙂 I love my birthday time and I feel like sharing, so here it goes: 1. I am a Cancerian, my birthday is 26th June 🙂 I don’t take astrology too seriously but I do find some truth in personalities that are born under a certain time of year. 2. I am extremely intuitive. I can read people very well and am always right…

Yes, there’s such a thing as transitioning your skincare routine. With so many skincare products on the market these days, you have to know what your skin needs before it tells you with breakouts, dry patches or pigmentation. This is especially true with a South African climate when we sometimes have 3 different seasons in one day. While most products produced today, guide your choice by oily,…

Happy Friday all 🙂 Today on TFB, I’m shaking things up a bit. Let’s talk about a diet for pretty skin – yes! Nowadays, having your beauty table stocked with all the new & wonderful cosmetic and skin care products, makes you seem like you’ve got the beauty game down. However, understanding what makes good skin – good, comes from within and ofcourse difficult sacrifice of your favourite foods and…

Beauty Trends to try this Winter

Just like fashion , there is a continuous re-invention of beauty looks and products. And for some reason, I am more obsessed with what goes on my face, than what clothes I wear. We are in a time of contour, highlight and ever evolving beauty technology. We have tempreture changing nail polish, mattefying lipsticks, holographic highlight and micellar water- the lists go on. While Insta stalking…

My Go-to Trends this Winter

Believe it or not, winter is my favourite season. I don’t know if it’s because I find comfort in knitted jerseys and pajamas all day, or that it’s my birthday season with another year to celebrate. Yay me! Either way, I love dressing up in winter – boots, polonecks, coats and scarves – think Fran Drescher in ‘The Nanny’. With that in mind, Fran always experimented with bold prints and bright…
