I'm Hey all, 

So Tuesday night, I decided to upgrade my MacBook to OS X YOESEMITE ... Worst decision ever!!!

Essentially my MacBook is now dead. Apple online couldn't help, and there and no genius appointments until early Decemebr!!!

So for now guys, I'm out of action.

I am writing this from the blogger app which is pants by the way lol.

If I manage to fix my boo boo before then I'll definitely get posting!

Sorry :(

HaulVEMBER

Hey Guys,

Hope you've all had a productive week!

I've got a massive haul to show you guys. Originally I wanted to film this but my good pal Desmond (my camera) seems to be broken, boo :(

I'm going to split it into 2 days, because I went on an all weekend bender!

On Saturday I made a quick trip to Oxford Circus. I only intended on returning something, I left with more than I came with.

I picked up one of my many most wanted beauty products in House Of Fraser ... The Urban Decay Naked Palette.

I was actually going to purchase the Naked Basics Palette, however the woman working on the UD stall advised that it wouldn't be very much use to me. I decided to go with the original palette, as I am not an eyeshadow wearer, I thought it would be easy to use the neutral, warm colours included. As a fan of natural looking makeup, I think this palette is great for achieving a 'Glam' natural look.

I also popped into John Lewis to pick up a few more beauty bits, as they had 10% off beauty.

I picked up the ever so popular 'They're Real' Mascara. I love massive thick dark lashes and this is a great product for achieving that look. I also picked up the 'They're Real' Eyeliner, which I believe is quite new in the UK. Its great at creating the perfect cat eye thanks to it innovative applicator. Also I love gel liners because they last all day!

I also purchased a perfume, which I featured in my previous post. Finally I went into Zara and picked up a pair of low heeled booties. I hate heels but these are so comfy and they look great with everything.



As if Saturday wasn't enough ... I went to Bicester Village in Oxford with my mum and her friend on Sunday.

Bicester, is basically a designer outlet, in one convenient little shopping village, complete with eateries. It literally has every designer store in there!!








I had a 30% off voucher code for Ralph Lauren, I purchased a Grey knitted jumper, with a burgundy polo horse - Classic winter colours.

I'm a sucker for candles, so I went to Ralph Lauren Home and got a gorgeous fruity candle. If a tropical holiday had a scent, this would be it!

There is a little store in the village called 'Cosmetics Company' where they sell MAC, Estee Lauder, Smashbox and a few other brands.

I grabbed a MAC Eyeshadow Brush #275 and an Eyeshadow in the shade Romantique. The eyeshadow is a really pearly and shimmery pink shade.

FINALLY, my last purchase of the day ............

Look out for my coming blog, where you'll find out whats in the bag!

Happy reading xx

Third time around ...

Hey guys,

I'm back for a third time, and determined to stay!

Today, I bring to you a product review. The new Balenciaga 'B' perfume.

So initially, I went out to buy my favourite winter perfume Roberto Cavalli Eau De Parfum. This fragrance is quite deep, mysterious, warm and sexy... Perfect for winter. Apparently its a summer/floral scent, not too sure I agree. What I love about the Roberto Cavalli perfume is that you a laced in the scent ALL DAY!

Now the new Balenciaga perfume is the complete opposite in terms of scent. It is a more sophisticated scent, definitely a daytime fragrance. 'B' is a floral scent yet very woodsy with a hint of pepper/spice. My 3 favourite attributes in a fragrance. As expected from any well made Eau De Parfum, the scent lingers on  the skin for hours - at least 6 from my observations.

The packaging is sophisticated, simple and elegant just like the scent. The monochrome box is minimalist yet on trend and classic. The bottle is easy to grip and feels comfortable in the hand.

I purchased in John Lewis Oxford Street, where they had 2 promotions on. They had 10% off on beauty ... bargain! They also has a nail artist from O.P.I on deck offering free manicures with any Balenciaga purchase. There were 3 designs to choose from. 2 Monochrome styles and the style I have pictured above. All designs are in the style of the packaging/fragrance.

All in all, I am loving the scent its clean and simple, perfect for these chilly winter days! The free manicure was a lovely little extra.

I've got lots of ammo for blogging, so expect to see lots of posts from me in the coming weeks! I can't  wait to get back in the swing of things.

Ill be back soon xx

Bléuribbon Hair Unboxing

Hey Dolls, Its been a while!

I've been so busy with work I've put blogging on the back burner, it's terrible but I am hoping to get back on top of it.

So, I usually wear my hair natural, but I've noticed that my ends have been growing thin due to constant use of heat tools. To give my hair a break I decided that I would weave it up.

After my last hair (which I had for 2 years) did not take very well to the bleach, I began looking to purchase new weave from a respected company, so I had a good look around. I'd heard many people experiencing bad hair from Ali Express - so I steered clear of them. I also look at purchasing from Bella Dream hair but it was too expensive at the time!

I had heard glowing reviews for a company called Bléuribbon. With Yandy from Love and Hip Hop and Chris Browns girl Karrauche I knew the hair had to be good. I totally stalked their instagram and twitter. They were also having a bank holiday hair sale - even better! They're number 1 selling hair is the Peruvian range, but I settled for Brazilian as I know it and its got a coarser texture, more likely to blend with my natural hair. The sale was pretty much £10.00 off each bundle. I ordered an 18" and 20" in natural brown body wave. 

I ordered on the 21st April and received the hair on the 2nd May. In the meantime, I was contacted by the company, they informed me that due to a large number of sales recently, delivery may take longer.



When I opened the packaging I was not 100% impressed with the box, it was a little bit battered and very basic. Also the ends of the weave were hanging out. The bundles were not securely placed in the box, they were just put it a rolled around.

Luckily the weave was intact. I cannot express how SOFT and bouncy the hair is! The whole day at would I was running my finger through it and so were my colleagues. I experienced virtually no shedding and the wave remained in the hair.





When I got home I shampooed and conditioned the hair. It took the product well and did not hold onto any residue. There was not tangling and literally 2 strands of shedding! I left to air dry over night and when I woke up the waves were in full effect. The hair was just as bouncy and soft as when it first arrived.

 

















Heres a link to the hair I purchased: http://www.bleuribbonhair.com/product/virgin-brazilian-2/
I definitely recommend purchasing from the company.

I'll write another blog when I get my weave installed, but so far its looking good!
