Sale Must Haves!
Monday, 30 December 2013
I confess, I love myself a good ol' sale but the question is where do I start?
All of these brands claiming a great amount of discounts, even selfridges are saying there sale is so good, things are almost free (let's just lol and leave it at that)
Now I'm really sick and tired of popping down to Oxford Street even on a normal day let alone during the festive season.
Anyway yesterday I accidentally ended up in a few stores (was meant to go to the cinema but we missed our film.. oops)
I visited Bershka - they have a really good sale, from jumpers to jeans for £14.99
New look - have an amazing shoe sale.
Zara - Wouldn't bother step foot in there again or online their sale is crap!
Mango - have some okay bits but it really was hard to see anything, looked like a jumble sale
My favourite sale out of all definitely has to be bershka! If you are into freh, fun & flirty prints and styles they definitely have a thing or two for you!
Right so below I've put a few of my favourite items from different brands together, feel free to comment with any great purchases you'd like to share.

Thanks to my doll Michelle Hung for tagging me in this post,
I cannot believe in the 1 year and a half that I've had this blog I've never actually got round to doing a post like this.
Anyway here it goes....
1. People always say I look Eritrean my mother is actually from Barbados & Dominica and my father is fully Moroccan
2. If you follow me on twitter you know I absolutely love travelling - hence why I study Travel & Tourism Management (apparently I'm queen of finding holiday deals)
3. You know how everyone has a celebrity they absolutely love? yeah..not me.

6. I can be a tad bossy but it's always for a good cause, I love winning.
7. I hate the fact that I feel lost without my phone/social media, I need to come up with a plan.. maybe buy one of those cheap nokias and see how that goes?
8. When I was young, I was probably one of the best at sport in Primary school
I competed in competitions, I even loved sports day at secondary school in year 7 then decided I wasn't interested any more.

Probably why I am always eager to fly away.

11. I've always loved cats but have come to the conclusion that only male cats like me - this is an accurate observation I promise.
12. Although I network a lot, I always speak to my 'day 1' friends I luhhhhh ya'll.
13. I like to think that I am the ultimate housewife - I actually love cleaning & cooking,
sometimes I feel as if I purposely make mess just so I can clean it up >< haha.
14. I mix my yoghurt's for about 5 minutes because I find the lumps absolutely revolting.
15. I absolutely love 90's music (my soundcloud is full of it)
Aaliyah, Tupac & TLC have got to be my faves.

something like - take over the world cliché?

any tips?

24. If I could change something about me it would have to be find more motivation to hit the gym regularly
I've become real lazy these days.
25. Happiest when - surrounded with people I love.
Never did I think I could come up with 5 facts let alone 25...
Anyway - I tag 5 bloggers, they are made up of friends/people I adore..
simply because we never know enough about those we adore.. sometimes we hide things don't we? haha
Here are my beautiful tags:

December You Beauty Discovery Box - Party Prep
Tuesday, 17 December 2013
Yep.. it's that time again!
I swear, I look forward to the beginning of the month just because of this beauty box!
This box's theme is party prep, getting us all glammed up for the Christmas period!
Before I start let me recap on November's beauty box (have a look here)
I received two full sized products:
Nailberry - 'le temps des cerises'
& Face Stockholm's lipstick in 'pure veil'
I absolutely love my FS lipstick, it has actually become my go to - something I wear to uni and just to whizz around in if I'm doing quiet a bit in a day.
I usually conceal my lip before applying the lipstick just so I can get a longer wear out of it, where it usually lasts about 2 hours.
The Nailberry polish is also great for those elegant nights out and meetings - I won't be using any other red polish for a while.
Moving on... This months box is just.... well AMAZING!
You Beauty have ticked all the right boxes for this months Party Prep box.
I mean just look at all the goodies... where do I begin?
Right so I don't usually review my boxes until I receive the next one but I could not keep my hands of the Magnifibres brush-on false eyelashes.
Magnifibres is so simple yet effective, it enhances your eyelashes by up to 5mm and if you are anything like me and absolutely hate fake eyelashes then this may be a great alternative for you.
These are the steps:
Step 1: Apply your own mascara - this can be any mascara I use Benefits they're real or Rimmels retro glam
Step 2: Coat eyelashes with Magnifibres whilst mascara is still wet
Step 3: Wait 30-60 seconds so the fibres can stick to your eyelashes and apply a second coat of mascara
Then voila nice thick long eyelashes achieved without using any glue or falsies!
This product retails at about £20 you can buy here
however I did get the full sized product along side other items for £6.95 inc p&p!
 |
| yet to review... |
 |
| I absolutely love this perfume - first time sampling it It smells quiet fresh but with a touch of sassiness Definitely on my Christmas gift list to myself haha. |
Will you be signing up? There's still time..
January's beauty box will be full of detoxifying lotions and potions for those who have over indulged this Christmas period (eek)
Thanks for visiting, stay tuned for more posts!
I've actually been meaning to do this post for a while and finally have had the chance to review this product!
So who are Super Food LX?
Super Food LX pronounced Super Food Lux are a mother and daughter duo based in the UK who set to be the first luxury hair care brand that make up of a Nurse and Nutritionist.
How awesome?
So.. I have been lucky enough to review not one but two of Super Food Lx's sample products.
Intelligence
Out of both of these products, this one has to be my favourite. Intelligence has a butter type consistency but is also light and fluffy at the same time. When the product is rubbed into the palms of the hands or even fingers, it turns into a light but moisturising cream/oil with a refreshing scent similar to orange and coconut mixed together.
I personally use this product as a leave-in conditioner however Intelligence can also be used as a deep treatment.
The product is specially formulated with "naturally occurring plant based antioxidants,
minerals, Omega 3, 6 & 9 essential fatty acids and vitamins A, B1, B2, B6,
B17 and E."
This in turn means that each hair strand is coated with organic perfumes and soothing botanicals which restores hair to its natural state and promotes healthy hair growth.

| < Left Intelligence - Right > Illuminism |
 |
| Consistency of Intelligence |
Illuminisim
Illuminism "is a soft, white oil that has been formulated exclusively
for natural and processed, afro hair types."
The product aims to detox and energise the hair from root to tip which encourages cell renewal and again hair growth.
This product has a thicker consistency which is great for taming those fly aways as well as nourishing the scalp.
For all you mint lovers out there, this is your dream come true (believe me).
I personally use this product to prevent dry scalp, I can honestly say I am starting to see a difference in the amount of dry scalp I have since using this product - so if you suffer from dry scalp like me recently, this is the answer for you!
My Results
 |
| Used Garnier fructis - shampoo & conditioner Moroccan argan oil hair treatment & Intelligence as a leave in my curls were super soft and fresh. |
 |
| Sectioned hair and applied Illuminism to scalp outcome > soft and healthy (straight hair) I am growing out my hair colour (hence why my hair looks darker) and will continue to use my samples to help strengthen my hair and promote healthy hair growth.

Ebay Finds: Chunky Heel Boots
Tuesday, 10 December 2013
Yes - The ebay Queen is back and look what I have found for you dolls! (eek)
I actually came across these on a blog (sorry lost your url) and fell in love straight away, I just knew I had to get these.
So, I've done some more research on these boots for you and have found them cheaper...
You can purchase the boots here costing only £12.35 inc delivery
or if you want to be on the safe side you can purchase from the seller I used here costing £14.29 + £3.99 postage.
I ordered my boots on the 21st November and they came today (10th December)
so not too bad considering they came from China.
The material of these boots aren't great at all, they do look a little flimsy but hey you get what you pay for!
The boots will have tiny little scuffs maybe from all that travelling and the fact that they are white.. if you are going to purchase just please bare this in mind to avoid disappointment.
One last point.. when I came across these boots on the blog the lady mentioned that getting a size up is wise as they come up really small.
I'm usually a UK 5/6 but opted for a UK7 (40) to be on the safe side and they fit well.
I'm in love with these kind of boots and the rubber sole
If any of you come across any more perhaps on ebay please let me know!
Clothes Show Live 2013
Monday, 9 December 2013

Hi everyone - quick short post on the Clothes show live event!
Really enjoyed my time at the event with fellow blogger and friend Vanessa ... we had no co ordination whatsoever (haha) except that the catwalk we were watching was scheduled at three!
Anyway we walked up and down for hours looking at a variety of stalls (literally my legs are killing me right now), saw some amazing graduate catwalks - watched union J perform 'loving me is easy' received a wave from JJ from the group and yeah!
Moving on...
I was told I'd end up buying loads of stuff at the show and end up wasting money but I only bought a Quontum dress reduced from £49 to £10 and the models own goodie bag for £10
The rest were freebies.
Anyway - below are some photos of the night... BEWARE ladies some serious eye candy ;)

| I think me and Vanessa were slightly obsessed with this fella >< I have to say BB (model on the far left) did put on a heck of a show....literally! |

| Oh how I love you Jamie |
