Crislus Beauty Secrets

Welcome back my little Tangs! We live in uncertain and not always economically favourable times. For these reasons, there are periods when we have to decide between looking beautiful and fashionable or spending our savings on more important things. But what if I told you there are ways to save money and still appear amazing?

I have come up with a list of small tips, habits and behaviors on beauty and fashion that can make you look like a Hollywood star, even on the lowest budget. Without further ado, let’s proceed!

Trust Your Style

The first step to looking chic is knowing your personal style. What makes you feel confident and comfortable? Maybe you love classic looks with tailored pieces, or perhaps you prefer something edgy with leather jackets and bold accessories. Whatever your style is, embrace it fully. Trends come and go, but your personal style is timeless. When you trust your choices, you’ll start seeing how the pieces you already own can be styled in fresh ways, and you won’t feel the need to buy something new every season.

It also helps to curate a “style inspiration” folder. Save photos of outfits you like and use them as a guide when putting together looks. This keeps you focused on what you really love instead of getting distracted by trends or sales.

Try Second-Hand Shops

Second-hand shopping is a game-changer. It’s where you can find quality items at a fraction of their original price. Vintage shops often carry unique, high-quality pieces that last longer than fast fashion. Sometimes, you might stumble upon designer items for an unbelievable price!

Start by checking out thrift stores in your area or browse online platforms like Vinted, Depop, or Poshmark. Take your time to dig through racks or scroll through listings, second-hand shopping requires patience but pays off with gems you wouldn’t find anywhere else. And don’t be afraid to experiment! That eccentric bag or retro jacket might just become your new favorite piece.

Another tip: Tailoring second-hand items can make them look custom-made. A simple adjustment to the fit of a dress or pants can elevate your entire outfit.

Style Comes from Within

Looking chic isn’t just about the clothes you wear, it’s about the energy you bring. When you feel confident and love yourself, it shows in your posture, your smile, and how you carry yourself. No expensive outfit can replace the power of self-assurance.

Start by dressing in a way that makes you feel happy and empowered. Maybe it’s a cozy sweater that hugs you just right or a pair of boots that make you feel unstoppable. Wear what brings out your best self, and don’t be afraid to add your personal touch: a bold lipstick, a signature scarf, or a hairstyle that reflects your personality.

Chicness is also about the little things: clean shoes, well-maintained clothes, and a touch of perfume. These small details show you care about your appearance, which is always stylish.

Focus on What Looks Good on You

Not every trend is worth following, and that’s perfectly fine. Fashion is about expressing yourself, not copying what everyone else is doing. Instead of chasing after what’s “in,” spend time discovering what flatters you.

For example, if high-waisted jeans make your legs look amazing, invest in a couple of pairs in different washes. If you know bright colors suit your skin tone, add pops of color to your outfits with scarves, tops, or jewelry. Find shapes that complement your body, whether that’s A-line dresses, tailored blazers, or flowing skirts.

Also, don’t underestimate the power of a great accessory! A statement necklace, a structured bag, or a pair of sleek sunglasses can elevate even the simplest outfits. These details draw attention to your personal style rather than the trend of the moment.

And that’s about it, my precious little Tangs! I hope you enjoyed and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Kisses!!!
