Q&A

Tell us about your blog? Becoming you is a lifestyle blog that covers a diverse range of topics and offers daily information, inspiration and encouragement for women, especially mothers. I am part-time working mom of two and I started my blog over four years ago to connect with the world and remind myself of who I am aside from someone’s mom. I love to share inspiring things that interest me – travel, style, fashion, kids, family, interiors, photography, fashion, beauty etc. 

What are your top three handbag beauty essentials? I don’t leave home without Maybelline Babylips lip balm, a bright lipstick in the colour of the day and my Tangle Teezer hairbrush. 

Your go-to everyday makeup look? Natural “no makeup” makeup is my daily choice (unless I have an event on) I’ll only apply a BB cream, mascara, cream blush and slick of lipstick. Current faves are the Kiehl’s BB Cream, any Maybelline mascara, Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Matte Lipstick in Rose Petal and Stila Convertible Colour in Lilium

Choose One: 

   Lipstick or lipgloss? Lipstick – I love how the colour I choose can change my whole attitude for the day plus my hair doesn’t get stuck to my face in the Cape Town wind with this choice!

   Heels or flats? I’d love to say heels but I’m a flats girl  – converse, boots, pumps are pretty much on rotation. I recently bought one pair of amazing heels that i had been coveting for ages but as yet I’ve not worn them…which reminds me I do need to change that soon! Problem is I actually have to walk in them then!

Your failsafe ‘ugly day’ beauty fix? Concealer – under eyes, over spots and cupids bow. Also clean hair makes the world of difference to my confidence.
