Another week, another very beautiful blogger profile. Fab took us inside her very enviable wardrobe earlier this week and now, we're onto the prods. Harper & Harley's Sara Donaldson has a very classic aesthetic, and the same goes for her makeup choices.

Sara recently featured in the Miss Vogue social media campaign, but we've been crushin' for years... Come with?

We're always treated to a bevy of beauties showing their best hair and makeup angles, and this week was a shimmery, shiny version. From Jessica Biel's stunning silver smoky eye to Dianna Agron's all over shimmer, these ladies' beauty looks had us keen to try something a little fresh. We fell hard for Olivia Munn's perfect hot pink lip (we've found a shade that's even better!) and Taylor Swift's golden glow . . .

Model-turned-snapper-turned-blogger, Zanita Morgan, is quite possibly one of the coolest girls we know. Just take her blog intro, for example. It reads: "I divide my time between snapping outfits and testing models, travelling overseas and collaborating with fellow bloggers to create personalised editorials. My blog is the story of my progression as a self-taught photographer." Um, can we please have her life?! Naturally, we wanted to know exactly how she keeps her skin so clear and what prods she likes to use daily, click through to find out.
