The femme fatale girls XXX We all know how important it is to have a regular cleansing routine for your skin. For example, washing your make-up off before going to bed allows your skin to breathe. But did you know it is also very important to clean your make-up brushes? Like your skin, make-up brushes also get clogged up. Once your brush is like this, it is not good for your skin nor is it good for the brush. Why is cleaning your make-up brushes so important?
How often should you clean your brushes?
Keep an eye out for future blog posts on the best make-up brush cleaning products and how to clean your brushes correctly. Look and feel fabulous!
Love The femme fatale ladies xxx 21/10/2014 0 Comments what is bridal boudoir?Boudoir photography is a sexy trend which is becoming increasingly popular among ladies of all ages. In addition, when a boudoir shoot is done tastefully with the right photographer, it is beautiful, sensual and elegant. We are photographing more and more brides, this is probably because, this sensual photo-shoot makes the perfect, special and intimate gift for their groom. This type of photo-shoot is called a bridal boudoir. How does bridal boudoir differ from a normal boudoir shoot? There isn't a huge difference, as we always ask our ladies to bring along a selection of lingerie and outfits to their photo-shoot. However, we encourage our brides to bring their wedding elements with, such as their bridal jewellery, garter, white or bridal lingerie, wedding shoes, flowers and of course their veil. Can I still do my shoot if I do not have all my bridal elements yet? Of course! The femme fatale studio is well equipped with bridal props if you do not have everything. We have the most gorgeous and beautiful cathedral length veil that was custom made for us by our dear friend and recommended wedding dress & accessory supplier By Ligita. We also have a selection of jewellery, bridal corsets, garters, etc. When should I do my bridal boudoir photo-shoot? We recommend you do your photo-shoot at least 6 weeks before your wedding. That gives us enough time to edit the images beautifully and have your gorgeous boudoir album printed and delivered to you before your wedding day. What does bridal boudoir look like? We just love doing bridal boudoir, as it is soft, sensual and really beautiful. One of our favourite things to do is implied nude. This is where we use your or our veil strategically to cover all the important places, but leave a lot to the imagination. Below is a few images from Miss Kamzisto's bridal boudoir photo-shoot. These will give you an idea of what to expect. A big thank you to Monique for the beautiful make-up, and Miss Kamzisto for allowing us to use her gorgeous images and for being such an amazing lady to work with! Love The femme fatale ladies xxx 6/10/2014 0 Comments sexy miss kamzistoHaving previously worked with the gorgeous Kamzisto, we were delighted to hear that she was visiting us from the windy city of Cape Town and wanted to do a boudoir shoot. This was her first boudoir shoot, and we hope not her last, as we love working with her...she is just so hot and sexy! When Kamzisto arrived at our studio, we jumped for joy when we saw her beautiful hair, she never fails to amaze us with her fabulous locks. We immediately whisked her into the makeup chair so Monique could do her magic with a soft and sensual look. This young lady is smoking hot in front of the camera, she knows how to turn the sexy on! Thank you to the incredibly sexy Miss Kamzisto for joining us in studio and allowing us to share her fabulous images. Love the femme fatale ladies XXX 23/9/2014 0 Comments beautiful raven roseRaven Rose is an elegant and incredibly beautiful lady, who joined both Shelley and Chantal at the White Room studio for a boudoir fun day. Unfortunately, we didn't get much time to photograph and work with her, as the other photographers didn't want to stop photographing her....can you blame them?
Raven Rose's stunning make-up was done by Monique, one of our talented in-house Hair and Make-up Artists. Monique created a fairy tale look and feel for this fabulous lady, which matched perfectly with the soft and sensual setting. The set was enhanced by the vintage corset and mirror (supplied by us at femme fatale), while the make-up gave a romantic and magical feel to the shoot...and Raven Rose looked just like the beauty from the fairy tale - Snow White. Here is a selection of the gorgeous and glamorous images from Raven Rose's shoot...A thank you must go to the sexy Raven Rose for allowing us to share her beautiful images. We look forward to working with her again! Love Shelley and Chantal XXX Are you wondering what to wear for your boudoir shoot, or just need a bit of inspiration? Here is an outfit inspiration board to help you with a few ideas, and this one is all about Spring. Love
The femme fatale ladies XXX 9/9/2014 1 Comment sultry mrs aMrs A arrived at the studio super excited for her shoot but naturally also a little nervous...she couldn't believe she was finally doing her boudoir shoot. She brought a bag full of the most incredible and beautiful lingerie and heels...we were drooling and couldn't wait to get her in them.
Her nerves soon vanished once Monique started her magic...gorgeous make-up was on the cards for Mrs A. Monique didn't only make her look fabulous but feel fabulous as well. Mrs A is not only a natural beauty, she also has this smouldering sultry look which is so intense...just blew us away! She showed us how even just a simple plain white T-shirt can look sexy. This mom of one (almost two as we were excited to learn that she is expecting her second baby soon!) is totally fabulous! Once we started shooting...we didn't want to stop! Mrs A's hubby was totally gob-smacked by how gorgeous she looked, can you blame him...she is smoking! Here is a peak at another of our fabulous femme fatale's....the sultry Mrs A. When researching this series about great fitting bra's we realised how little we really know about the pretty things that are supposed to uplift and support us. When fitting a bra, there are so many things to consider, and we learnt that if the bra fits well, it is slimming, gives unbelieveable support, relieves pressure from the back and shoulders and creates the most amazing shape ever!
The bra straps - Are actually not there to create lift which most of us believe. They work with the band or wings to evenly distribute the weight of the breasts. They should be tight but comfortable and you should get one finger width of space beneath the strap. The wings or back panel - The back panel should always be snug fitting, but never constrict your breathing or be uncomfortably tight. It should also not ride up your back and always sit level with the bridge or centre gore at the front of the bra. Too tight means you need a bigger band size, riding up means you need a smaller one. You should be able to put one finger inside the back band comfortably. Remember when purchasing a new bra that it should hook on the loosest hook. This increases the life of your bra, as the elastic relaxes you can still tighten it using the other hooks. The Bridge or Centre Gore - This is where the wire of the cups meet at the front of the bra between your breasts. This part should lie flush with your ribcage but not dig in or gape. If it pushes in and squashes the breast tissue, your cup is too small, and if it gapes the cup is too big or the band size is too large. The Cups - There should be a seamless transition between the cup and the breast, no bulging or puckering. This should be comfortable and your breasts should naturally fill the cups. If you are bulging out at the front and by your underarms, then the cup is too small, and if the cup has a gape in the front you need a smaller size. After writing this, we went and checked all of our bras .... guess what, half of them didnt fit correctly and were donated to ladies who dont have money to buy their own.

12/8/2014 0 Comments stunning mrs kMrs K came to our studio all the way from Italy for her boudoir shoot. Her reason...just for her...we just love this reason. She wanted to feel and look sexy and beautiful...as you can see - she did!
After many frantic "Oh my Gosh" messages and emails, it was finally time for her shoot. She arrived with so many killer outfits and the sexiest pair of shoes...we were drooling as they were so gorgeous! She was shaking like a leaf at the thought of what she was about to do...a few sips of champagne later and loads of ooohs and aaahs over the beautiful things she had brought, Mrs K relaxed and was ready to start her pamper process. After her make-up was done and she looked fabulous and started to feel it too...she was ready to start her shoot. It didn't take long for her to completely relax and enjoy every minute of the experience...as soon as she saw the first set of images she was blown away. Her nerves vanished and out came the sexy vixen, that had been in hiding for so long. Mrs K described her boudoir experience as a journey....one where she started finding out who she really is. It was incredible to watch her confidence grow during the shoot and we cant wait for her to visit us again for her next shoot in a couple of months. Here is a peak at the stunning femme fatale, Mrs K There are several excellent lingerie suppliers, who will professionally measure your bra size. We recommend the following : Simply Gorgeous Lingerie The Corsetiere Liza Clifford Professional Bra Fitting Studio However, you may want to measure yourself, below is a guide to assist you.
