November Luxuries

Little luxuries to warm up November...

Vita Liberata Self Tan

So I am a huge fan of Fake Bake, and it is still my number one tan... but I've found a great self tanner which gives a gorgeous rich colour too.

I got the extra rich silken chocolate, which is very dark so novice tanners beware this probably wouldn't be for you. As you can see by my image the tan is very dark so you can see where you are applying it, do not be afraid of dark tans, because they do not end up that dark on you!

Check out my previous blog for more info on Fake Bake and other brands

Moroccan Oil - Oil & Hairspray

The Moroccan oil treatment oil is amazing it smells gorgeous and people always as me why my hair smells nice... the answer is these two products.

I apply a small amount of oil to damp hair and it dries silky and smooth, and doesn't leave residue.

Then when styling my hair I use the hairspray not only because it is an awesome hairspray... but because it reinforces the Moroccan smell! mmmm!

Calvin Klein, Euphoria & Dior, Pure Poison

If you are looking to smell as irresistible as all you gorgeous girls look I would recommend my two fave perfumes they both are equally as fabulous!

Get the denim shorts out!

I like to glam up a simple high waisted denim look with some hot heels. check out this lovely River Island pair!

Nails INC Magnetic Nail Polish

So ladies as you can see from the advert Nails Inc have come up with this idea of being able to paint your nails as normal then when you hold the included magnet over the top it creats a funky pattern.

I personally have the purple one and it cost 13 pounds from House of Fraser (Nails Inc counter)

I think its a real cool change from the usual boring nails and it actually turns out looking like what is is advertising!

MAC love to the MAX

I have been experimenting with yet more of MACs finest products and wanted to share with you my latest essentials!

Mac Paint Pots

So right know i have two paint pots one fair which is called 'painterly' and a darker pot called 'quite natural' (i use them separatly). they are seriously amazing! I often have trouble with eyeshadows and things because I am a dancer and it comes right of... but these stay on all day and you will pysically have to use makeup remover to get it off! I blend two MAC eyeshadows over the top 'Sable' a shimmery chocolate colour in the crease and corner and 'Naked Lunch' a beautiful creamy colour with a bit of shimmer all over to create a perfect smokey eye.

Fluidline Gel Liner

I decided to have a go at using gel liner insted of pencil on my upper lids to see how it looked. This liner creates a stunning jet black line on my lids and you can also create a great cat eye on the end. It is stunning! and stays on ALL day!

GaGa 2 Lipstick

Ok so I am a fan of MACs 'Myth' lippy but this one is also stunning! I think this image is a pretty good indication of the lovely pale colour... compliments a smokey eye beautifully!

Make up MUST haves

Dior Skin Forever

This foundation is gorgeous. The colour I have is 020 and it goes on very easily and blends really well.

It is not thick at all but gives a very good coverage, which is great for those who don't like the caked on look! I actually use MAC's Studio Fix fluid as well but both of these selections create a beautiful base.

Benefit Lemon Aid

Lemon Aid is my secret weapon. It just looks like yellow concealer, but my goodness it works!

If i am looking a little tired I just dab a little under my eyes and dark circles magically dissappear! It is also a colour correcting eyelid primer so I put it on under my eye shadow to keep it lasting all day.

MAC Kohl Pencil

This eyeliner goes on so easily and makes the most perfect smokey eye as it is really blendable. It does smudge though so if you just want a clean black line...this is not your product.

Posie Tint

This cheek and lip tint is a stunning baby pink color... and it stays on so long!

MAC Lipstick

I LOVE this lipstick... my fave colours are Myth and Hue. which are very pale. Gorgeous.

MAC Opulash Mascara

Opulash is brilliant for building up dramatic thick lashes so it is great for me. If you need to add length go for Studio Fix lash, as this is much better as separating lashes. One I do not like is Zoom Lash, the formula is messy and goes EVERYWHERE!

Prep & Prime Skin Brightning Serum

This product is a primer which makes you skin feel like silk. I pop it on under my foundation and it makes me glow... a must.

HeadKandy Hair Extension Update

Ok, as you guys know I bought some HeadKandy.com extensions for my vacation (holiday, for all you brits).

The colour I got was 'organic', a beautiful deep brown which has slight off-black tones running through.

The length is 16-18 inches, which was perfect for me. In all pictures in my preivious blogs i am wearing my extensions so this will give you a good indication on the length, bearing in mind I am 5'6.

The price is not cheap but it is sooo worth it, as I have had extensions only last me a few months that were only slightly cheaper! for 16-18 inches a full set (more than enough hair) is $159.99 or £79.00.

So far...So good as far as I am concerned! The hair has not thinned at all and it curls and straightens perfectly and it is still super soft! I love putting them up in a Nicole Scherzinger inspired high pony as well as a simple down style.

Feel free to ask any questions on this issue as I have tried several extension brands!

Oasis Of The Seas

So I have just touched down from my flight from Miami to London after my trip to Florida then Haiti, Jamaica and Cozumel... I had the most amazing time on the biggest cruise ship in the world and wanted to share with you some outfits....
