The most famous reality star on the planet ALWAYS seems to be miles ahead of fashion's trends.
You might not like ALL the ensembles Kim Kardashian West puts together, but you have to admit that girlfriend is keen on premiering stuff many women want to wear.
Let's look at the choker trend. It remains HUGE. Some people hate the look, because NOT every woman looks gorg in a choker, or feels comfortable wearing one.
But----KK LOVES her chokers, and already last August, she was showing off the DENIM choker.
Some girls laughed at it, but it became a cool + affordable fashion accessory. It's not really jewelry, but, it's very now.......and if you can CUT + SEW, you could make your OWN denim choker.
For lazy chicks like myself, you can buy one for CHEAP here at Forever21. Just $9.90. A great budget fashion buy.
Not a bad DUPE, for LESS than 10 bucks!
Are you wearing the DENIM choker trend, a la Kim Kardashian West?

Does Daily Sunscreen Go On Before Or After Moisturizer?
Sunscreen.
You're SUPPOSED to wear it daily, especially on the vulnerable face, neck + decolletage.
But if you also like applying moisturizer, too.......
Which one goes on first--------the sunscreen or the moisturizer?
According to the skin care experts, it depends what ingredients are in your sunscreen, to begin with.
I did some beauty research, and found this great advice from beautifulwithbrains.
CHEMICAL SUNSCREENS......(ie those that contain chemical UV filters like avobenzone, mexoryl, oxybenzone, and octocrylene, to name a few) should be applied BEFORE you put on your moisturizer.
PHYSICAL SUNSCREENS......(contain minerals titanium dioxide and zinc oxide). That means these sunscreens DON'T have to be ACTIVATED, so can be applied AFTER you put on your moisturizer
My favorite FACIAL sunscreen is by MyChelle----Sun Shield Coconut SPF28, $20.
This one is worth every penny, absorbs well, is lightweight + smells really good.
Because MyChelle's contains Translucent Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, it goes on AFTER my moisturizer. Those 2 ingredients are minerals.
