Red Is Glamorous Every Day Any Day Box & Red Carpet Illamasqua & Charlotte Tilbury

Review! Box & Red Carpet! Illamasqua & Charlotte Tilbury

Red is perfect doesn't matter what season what month! you can wear it walk it and strut it. Its the start of the year forget festivity wear it to celebrate being a women and knowing you can be beautiful just by wearing something as bright and sultry as this! 

Of course the strange thing with wearing a Red is that there is transitional phases to it . You can't just one day wear nothing or pale lipsticks and find you wear the red with utmost confidence and walk out. You will be surprised how much pep talk one needs in order to get a certain shade of red onto the lips and walk out. I talk from experience! you convince yourself first, that I can't be bothered to do my eyes, and this whole smokey blending look, so ill just wear a bold lip and that will make me look dressed up. You walk upto a makeup counter and realise there are so many reds shades that swim in front of your face. You will find bright reds, Orange shades, blue toned reds! Trying them on just makes you break into a sweat come on worn wrong you might just end up looking like a childs 2nd birthday party clown or then a drunk neurotic mother who has lost it while doing food shopping either which way red is daunting initially , but once the trial phase is attempted . You will be well on your way!

Its funny I know and you all will be probably thinking seriously such writing about a red lipstick. Come on its funny and at the same time true! 

Little bit of advice do the orange pink shades first before you go for the Bright boom reds like Ruby Woo or Russian Red which I believe are the classics and once you can wear these to the local town you are a seasoned veteran in bright colours. You need to mentally prepare yourself for the enviable looks that you will get once you start wearing this colour and pulling it off. I can now wear this to Tesco and feel normal, though the looks you get from women is seriously red? while shopping! I say why not! what rule book says its only for a night out?!

Do it step by step and you will never look back . Red all day every day will end up your moto too. After that wearing any bright colours like a purple or a bright pink will come naturally to you.

Seen as I count myself as the now experienced red lippie wearer, I decided on embarking on a journey of discovering some more bright red shades.

Illamasqua- Box

First purchase BOX by Illamasqua . The packaging is a simple black case £19 a lipstick which isn't too bad for a high end lipstick. Such a beautiful deep maroon red! its sultry in everyway! and just such a seductive colour to purchase. I have to say I've been wearing it now for 2 weeks and my review would be that you need to moisture your lips slightly before wearing this, the lipstick is extremely matt and quite drying on the lips. The stay on power is brilliant once on its there to stay you may need to re-apply a tad in the middle of your lips but otherwise sticks. Really good colour check out the swatch below.

Second red purchase was the Red Carpet from Charlotte Tilbury which apparently is a real favourite so the lady at the counter stated. The packaging is so glamorous its in a gold ridged casing and gives a real regal look to the whole thing. Once out the lipstick has this fabulous shape to the tip slight rectangular shape, great marketing ploy its unusual. Its really very pretty! This lip colour is a bright red, shocking and beautiful. Very moisturising and not too drying which is lovely, stay power is reasonable will come off after dinner and drinks but thats ok. Matt finish to it. Honestly after Ruby Woo this is my favourite for sure .

Charlotte Tilbury- Red Carpet

I think the 2 reds that I have purchased are in my favourites. After a lot of research Ive finally got some new reds that I will be using and re-using! Matt reds are preferably better in my opinion glossy can work but i just feel it gives a slightly more mature look to a person. Matt colours seem to stand out more too and the stay power is more plus it doesn't stain your teeth or run outside your lip too.

What red shades have you all invested in? Also are any of you trying to transition from nudes to brighter darker shades? How are you finding it? Whats the thing thats stopping you?

Learning To Deal With Disapointment

Learning To Deal With Disappointment

How many times in life have we wanted something so badly and run away with the stars thinking what we would do and how we would feel once that so called thing is bought or that person has asked us out on a date or that holiday is bought that job is offered the pay rise is given to you or even the job interview you went for you get! The list can go on. So heres my tips from my own life to deal with disappointments in a healthy manner.

• Disappointments are the pillars of success, you grow and learn to either desire harder so that you can achieve the particular thing or then you learn to adapt the desire according to your circumstances so its achievable, no way in this do I say give up on your dream just learn to adjust it.
• One large goal can be broken into small steps towards reaching the big goal, its good to dream big!, so learn to walk before you run. An example would be when starting your own business don't start leasing out a swanky new office with designer office furniture, start your goals for the new venture look into what is needed for that a starting point can even be a room in your house as long as the overheads are less you probably will be able to sustain yourself a lot longer, spoken from experience.
• Theres always another realistic way, it doesn't just have to be one way or no way. Learn to trust the universe more it will aspire with you if it feels its an adequate dream that can be reached at this current particular time.
• Set positive affirmations for you as an individual this backs up your intention, no point wanting to travel the world if deep down you are scared of flying or being on your own, so start working on those . You could put post it notes in your room repeating affirmations that let your subconscious know that you are serious about your dream and that you want your intentions to back this up. Here are some examples, Life supports me, I believe in my own power, I use my own voice to reach new heights, I keep learning new things, I am peace, I am calm.
• Disappointment is a feeling don't take it so serious that you stop living emotions and feelings are really a thought and that can be changed try it . When you feel sad or upset honestly shift that thought pattern it takes a little bit of time but you can actually change your feeling to excitement and happiness too. Read into it do your research it all starts from the mind. Not to say get used not getting the things you want just know that a change of thought can release that sad emotion.
• Don't be scared to try something and thinking well its going to fail anyway . Thats not really coping with disappointment thats just keeping you safe and not stretching yourself or challenging yourself. So take the leap of faith feel the exhilaration of trying something new and if it doesn't work you lived and learnt. whats a life if you dont even do that.
• Calculated risks are fine. If you have kids and a family, bills to pay and responsibilities , take them into consideration when making bold decisions and choices and know that putting your family first and your dreams a little later if that means they are safe is actually a sign of a responsible and loving and reasonable individual. So dont be down on yourself for that!
• Say If you have decided to take up a course or try some more hobbies and you can't afford it or have lost motivation always know tomorrow is another day dont give up life is a journey keep going putting one step infront of the other! 
• Also rationalise this what exactly is not getting what you want another way of the universe saying that not this way try another way, it gets you to widen your creative thoughts and push the boundaries . 
• One last thing, its exciting to know that something may not work the first time whatever it might be and that you may need to rack your brains to figure out a different way! so turn it into a positive thats the best way to live life and never feel that things in life are an obstacle rather a way to grow and develop, honestly you will ride along with life's adventures with a lot more ease! 

I think sometimes my blog is written from my own experiences and that in itself can be a great teaching for someone else reading this ! Live life fearlessly not worrying about the disappointments honestly they are the best way to teach you patience, working around a situation, reflection and even gratitude that if not this time then next time my own power and mind will lead the way.

I can give you one such example that just happened recently . Mr and I had booked a new year holiday to the Caribbean and had been looking forward to it for the best part of 4 months and my slip disc flared up and it looked impossible for me to able to do the 10 hour flight, so rather than let the holiday go to waste we gave it up to my parents, there was huge sadness attached to it as I love travelling. When I had time to think I realised that it was a wonderful opportunity for my parents to see a part of the world they had never seen, and could be our way of kids to say thank you for all that they do and have done for us! gave Mr and I an opportunity to throw a pre-xmas Eve drinks with new friends have a blast, we had so much laughter that It made me feel better too, we had  some alone time and down time which was perfect to rejuvenate yourself for 2016. So you see I could either wallow or then see it as a light in my life and for others. Its a small example of turning something in your mind into a productive and positive thing.

Have you ever experienced a low point or disappointment of some kind thats effected your motivation? how do you cope? or are you super positive and able to get through it ? let me know your tools you use

Starting 2016!

10 Positive Intention For 2016.

Hello all and welcome to the New Year , new beginnings , fresh starts and starting fresh knowing that whatever was left behind is exactly that the thing of the past. Lets move on smile breathe some new life and say excitedly whats next?!

So this blog wasn't really going to happen, like most bloggers and vloggers I thought it a little cliche to write about New Years resolutions and things I want to change or enhance more and then realised why not! Start of the year positive things and intentions can be discussed and hopefully will inspire others to start the year with a positive attitude.

So this post will be about my intentions that I will be setting out for 2016. So lets do this. Images are all linked to some of my intentions and taken from my old blogs. Ibiza my summer holiday of 2015. Youtube get filming!. Read 25 books this year. Socialise more! Picture from Pre-New Years Party!. Table Set for the Friends.

1. Worry Less- I'm a cancerian and have a tendency of over thinking things over and over again in my mind, fears and worries that will be probably not even happen, so I'm going to put my energy into more positive things that will make my life more productive and enhance my life more.
2. Be present- how many of us meet friends then end up on our phones tweeting checking FB or snapchatting its too preoccupied our  lives now. No ones actually listening to a friend and the stories that are being shared. I think listening more and being more attentive is key. You might even learn something
3. Socialise More- seems like a strange one but I can be the type that gets used to my own company or my partners and thinks thats enough, with my reading, work, youtube videos I'm ok, but I strongly feel social interaction is paramount for a healthy mind and its great for your spirit too, to meet laugh and interact, now its not to say I don't have friends far from it, Im just bad at staying in contact. So this Year I'm going to try much more to stay in touch get couples together, meet girls for lunch when possible and enjoy this life and take advantage of working for myself more! 
4. Start My Youtube Channel- I have had my camera and tripod up for the last few months up but can't seem to get myself into gear to film a video. Self criticism about the funny faces I'm making on video is my problem so need to stop that! and get videoing
5. Read more- I have set myself a challenge to read 25 books for this year with goodreads, just so that I continue to read and grow with my choices of books . Reading is a good quality to have which I do feel some people have lost due to so many distractions nowadays! I think it widens your intellectual capabilities more.
6. Blogging- Fine tuning my blogging . Just making sure I keep posting weekly with interesting content and that you all keep appreciating it. 
7. Gratitude- We can all fall prey to taking life and the good things for granted or even the wonderful people that surround you . So mine is to be thankful for every person that touches my life shows me loyalty makes me smile or teaches me something. Either with a journal or just with my early morning thoughts.
8. Start mediating properly everyday- I think for someone like me it will change my life. Would make me more calm and give me more clarity when making decisions and make me less stressful . Even if its 10 minutes its a start.
9. Stop Comparing- There are some things in my life that are missing and perhaps deep down I have wanted them for a long time. I'm also very  spiritual more aware to know that some things will happen in their own time and if they don't the man up their has a different plan. So I need to be content on my own journey and not look left or right. After all this world is full of 7 billion people, I'm more than this earth, universe and this small town I want to compare myself to!
10. Travel More- Due to my back travelling has been a little tricky however I strongly feel that my back will heal this year and then the worlds our oyster. Maybe Budapest or then Prague sun sea and sand might do Italy Amalfi or Sicily lets see theres a whole world to see!

What intentions have you thought about for this year? Are you able to stick to them ? don't get frustrated though just keep going and try to fulfil things you have thought of , after all we have 12 months to work on it!

Share some of your changes you want to make.

Until Next Week

December Haul

December Haul

Beauty Blender, Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation. Laura Ashley Candle &
Hour Glass Lip Gloss In Extreme Sheen Icon

Oh dear hear I am again shopping! now this isn't exactly shopping for friends or family nope! this is indulgence for me over the period of Christmas. Just a few little buys that I thought I would share with you that took me by surprise and could possibly fast become my favourite things.

Beauty Blender

Yes I fell for it , but look people have said that this particular blender works a treat for foundation now I haven't tried it yet but I will write a full review on this. Once I have I will write a review on my blog! just let me try it for the month of January 2016 and then we can discuss, however I will let you know this much its made In China its such a genius idea and a simple one at that, I wish I had gone to Lord Sugar with this idea! its a sponge in the shape of a dome or a tear drop , the trick is to get the sponge slightly wet moist in fact and apply your foundation, apparently it really soaks in and keeps the foundation on longer. The shape of it helps to get under the eyes and around the nose, so I have a few tips with this sponge the tricks I will share once I use it .

Estee Lauder Double Wear

Now who hasn't heard of this very famous foundation! you must have even if you are not a makeup junkie or geek like me. The reason why it took me so long to try this foundation was because well lets just say every time I went to the counter to get me colour matched there was either a queue or a disinterested makeup lady so! I finally found someone who sparked my interest colour matched me and I was pretty impressed. My colour match is Tawny and I would say you need a moisturiser or a primer with this foundation its not a dewy glowy look but gives you a full coverage for sure. Good thing with this is you can build on the foundation look. Even one layer covers quite a few blemishes so don't think you need so many layers in order to get a flawless look. To be honest if you are having a good skin day concealer is not even needed . A good one to try out if you are new to foundations its old but gold.

HourGlass-Extreme Sheen Icon

Oh my this lip gloss is phenomenal I love it. I have heard of hour glass again and again! but never of the lip gloss and I don't even know whether they are popular all I know is that its so soft so bright and pigmented it has the WOW factor to it and the sheen to it is brilliant. Its not cheap so has to be a indulgence buy for sure , but a lip gloss that I was bowled over by . After Christian Dior I would say this is now my favourite. This particular colour is a deep classic red perfect for an evening out, it has a glamorous feel to it due to the sheen and its not that sticky but soft against the lips and actually quite hydrating. Couple of things though, as I wore this out of the shop it came off quite easily once applied and does run so will end up on your teeth if you are not careful. So if you going for a burger or popcorn at the movies probably not advisable to go for this colour but a dinner or night out without too much messing around with food and I think its fine for that. Go Buy This! ( Not sponsored by them or anything!) Just love the product.

Laura Ashley Candle By Emma

Candles have not always been my strong point really only in the last few years Do I now love to light a few while having guests over or while watching Tv in the evening. So I'm always on the search for amazing scented candles, you can buy the cheap and cheerful but they don't always have that scent that makes you stop. Now this candle I happened to just take a sniff of and I was mesmerised it was so beautiful  that I followed my friend around the store saying smell this its so good , honestly I'm not great at describing scents and I would say there is something so stunningly seductive even about this smell its like a high end perfume subtle but with a deep fragrance. You have Just got to smell it. 

So anyone live near a Laura Ashley try this candle out. Looks good and smells even better, light it on special occasions and the room will have this stunning smell surrounding your guests.

All the makeup products were purchased in Space NK and we now have this store near us . Lucky me or not so lucky wallet. They have so much choice in one store. Go check out the things and get yourself the store card and build your points.

Let me know what you think of my products and whether you have any comments on any of them or any advice for me. 

I hope you are all having a super time in your holidays and have enjoyed my blog posts for the last 6 months those of you that have continued to read me and follow me thank you! I hope I continue to enjoy this journey and can keep you entertained further more! 

In the new year at some point I will be setting up my own Website Im working on it! and hopefully will be up and running with all my social media attachments there and my channel details so one stop shop for all which will make life a lot easier. All my blog posts will be easy to read and will be put in categories and much easier to find. 

Wish you all a super year ahead. Remember follow your dreams they start off as a thought let that thought and seed become your reality . Don't stop there keep going being vulnerable putting yourself out there thats half the reason why we are here lets grow stretch ourselves and learn new things. 

Until Next Year!

Staying Motivated Whilst Working From Home!

10 Ways To Stay Motivated While Working From Home!

1. Start the day with gratidue. Know that wherever you are in your creativity, whether thats a new start, challenging yourself to think outside the box or just learning to be more creative, learn to be happy and content to where you are in life. If you start your day with gratitude then I do think the universe aspires to bring more creative juices your way.
2. Discipline, working for yourself can mean procrastination at the best of times, after all you are the master of your own day. However with your own business big or small, you need discipline, focus and drive, even if its 3/4 hours a day of concentration in the office, getting onotp of admin or ideas and goals that you are thinking of , you need to give it your attention its really important , so that it leaves you organised and no panic sets in . Stay ahead to keep ahead has always been my moto. Do lists, know what your aims are daily and weekly and you can't go wrong!
3. Take regular breaks, being cooped up indoors means working yes! but also means you may not have stepped outside at all or even spoken to someone, so get some fresh air go to the gym watch a tv programme call up a friend anything, just step away from work to get more clarity and to give yourself that deserved break you need.
4. Try to eat clean, come on we all know the home office and kitchen are normally close to each other which means snacking at strange hours and just generally not having the discipline to control bad food cravings. Start your day as you mean to go on, breakkie and then good healthy snacks, you will find that afternoon feeling lazy will be few and far between as you have stabilised your sugar levels rather than spiking it and giving it a crash. So come on get your Vitamix out and your Nutribullet and start making those smoothies.
5. In reference to a property business, I would say keep the propertys from becoming dilapidated. Its not only useful to you , you add value to your property! but you keep your property from deteriorating as well as you will get a lovely tenant in who will hopefully pay their rent on time and not complain if things are not working in the flat. So its a win win. 
6. Stay calm, its very easy when you are responsible for your own livelihood to sometimes panic when problems occur I would say worst trait to have and if you can work on it, deep breaths mediation all calms the demeanour down. This helps in problem solving gaining clarity and just generally keeping your mind clear to make decisions.
7. Stick to your rules, even if its a small business don't get influenced by anyone to move your rules according to their convenience its YOUR business keep the ground rules the same it is more professional like, yes sometimes for some reasons you may need flexibility but generally keep the rules standing, you eventually will gain more respect for that.
8. Network network network, as in keep hold of Plumbers, Electricians, Carpenters Painters and Decorators. If you are in the property business then this is a staple could even say a Holy Grail! you will need these people on a regular basis and your loyal plumber or builder could be away or be busy so you need emergency numbers on hand. Keep a book with all these numbers you will need them at 11pm one Sunday night when someone's radiator has burst all across their living room. Oh yes the joys of being a Landlord!
9. Smile! you have a great opportunity to use your own business to create the life which you want!, utilise this freedom in a productive and positive way. 
10. Keep your office tidy, honestly helps in finding things when you really need it and being organised in your own business is key! if you can't find anything under the pile of paperwork then no one will.

So there are a few of my tips and tricks to keep you motivated whilst working at home. Also ways to stay clear minded and healthy. Live this part of your life with joy! you can manage your own day! and now have become the master of your own universe!

Let me know if you work for yourself or if its something that you have thought of ? whats stopping you from taking this plunge?! or if you do work for yourself how do you find it?

Until Next Time

Anastascia Contour Kit V Seventeen Conquer Kit ( High End V DrugStore)

Anastascia Contour Kit V Seventeen Define & Conquer

So not buying makeup for a few weeks is unheard of for me, no matter how much I try and control the urge I still end up online buying something or another or then browsing the stores and seeing what takes my fancy. Now a lot of makeup products are purchased, by watching youtube recommendations or then blog write ups thats the only way you get to know a product and whether it might suit you or not. Only thing with me is I don't go along with the hype for some reason that makes me switch off I will try the product but only when things have calmed down and I can quietly try it out without feeling the pressure of having to like it because the whole nation has. You get my drift.

So this was the same as the contour kits, now we all know how mad everyone went over contouring once Kim Kardashian had leaked out this is how she looks amazing the craze was unbelievable. Now she may have made it fashionable, but for the makeup novice it was slightly daunting and confusing how to contour come on I can't even draw let alone contour my own face to make it look slimmer, is that even possible! were my thoughts!. Now I realise yes if you practice watch enough tutorials you  might just get the idea slowly. follow hudabeauty.com/

So with that in mind, I thought it better to buy something that contours but that is easy to use and not so expensive hence the Seventeen Kit I bought from a drugstore! and later when I thought I felt a little more adventurous I went on to buy the Anastasia Kit which is much more professional a lot more of a luxury and well just nice to have as part of your makeup. So this blog is about comparing the two products and giving my take on amateur versus the professional !

Seventeen Define Conquer Kit

Firstly the packaging not too big or bulky feels less intimidating for sure. Its quite thin and sleek overall doesn't give a feeling of a drugstore bought kit. Two shades so simple , one is the highlight and the other the contour colour, pretty simple hey! thats what I thought even I can manage this one! So the brightening powder will go under the eyes down the middle of the nose cupids bow and chin, guess what it works! its so impressive thats why I'm writing about it! brighten up the face and works you could be in a rush and you can still manage a slight contour without even adding the nose part in to have a contoured face! The contour is highly pigmented you don't need a lot for the colour to work isn't that great . Theres even a generous amount of product so it won't run out too quick I have had mine for under a year. Its a product that has less frills and fads about it but it does what its meant to do! I would say if you are an amateur in contouring like myself and didn't want to get swept along the hype of the more expensive brands try this it really works. I bought this for £5.99 bargain I would say, and really good for a student or someone who doesn't want to spend too much .

Anastasia Beverly Hills

I do feel rather important and grown up! after having purchased this ! and I really did umm and ahhh about it, I wouldn't say because of the price more so that would I even know what to do with this pallet then I thought What are Youtube tutorials for then. So I guess you can go figure what I have been doing . This product has been talked about reviewed so much that you have to have been hiding to have not heard about it. There was and still is a lot of hype about this product and after a lot of thought and yes even with makeup I do this . I threw caution to the wind and thought right I'm buying it! and so here it is , I hear angels playing the harp in the background lol!

The packaging is sleek and ultra sophisticated I just love it, its very light. There are 6 palettes of colours. First is a powder for the face, second is the banana shade which lightens the face under the eyes and the last one on the top line is the highlighter, below the first two are the contouring colours and the last one is the bronzing shade. Good array of colours I think the amount of product is fine because the colours are very pigmented otherwise I would have said that maybe there could have been more product. Its really all that it is hyped to be, but I still say you need to watch a few tutorials to get the full benefit of the colours, I'm still at the playing around stage but it seems to be working and I'm slowly getting there. The highlight powder is amazing and really brightens the face even if you just use that with the contour colours . The highlight is ultra shiny so for the price its well worth it! I think I will treasure this product for a long while. I am impressed by it. The price for this was £45 and you can purchase this online. 

So my take , if you take a few pictures I would say the Anastasia is more prominent and brightening , it stands out a lot more for sure and so it should its quite pricey. The Seventeen kit is still really good but on picture not as bright but in my eyes perfect for the price and if you are a amateur its a good way to start. Seventeen kit, has less frills just two shades but much more easier to manage. Anastasia has few more shades but you can eventually figure things out the internet is a great thing! 

So in conclusion if you are new to it all or a young student go for the Seventeen Kit it works really does and its a great go to pallet when in a rush, I still use it if I don't have the time to mess around with contouring its easy and less time consuming.

However if you are slightly more of a makeup geek and really want to be more professional with your makeup then the Anastasia kit is the next step for you . Its a lot more to work with , highly pigmented and definitely gives a brightened look on camera.

Hope you enjoyed my review. So do any of you contour? regularly or on special occasions or are you the blusher bronzer kind of girls . Let me know leave your comments below.

My November Favourites

My November Favourites

My Favourite 10 Items 

I haven't actually ever done a monthly favourites. Seen as the Christmas festivity is starting, I thought I would give this a whirl and see what I could come up with. Now it will cover everything from food, Tv, Makeup, Perfume and Clothing. So in no particular order .

1. Games Of Thrones- Oh yes Mr and I have finally succumbed to the hype that surrounds us all with this Tv Show and finally got down to watching this. It was not a disappointment!, what an amazing show! we started it last month and are already on Season 5 and have pretty much caught up with it all and believe season 6 will be aired on April 2016 cannot wait. Its a great medieval story depicted of different lands kings and general power struggle over the throne hence the title . The knights men, their sword fights, dialogues, love triangles, deception its all brilliant to watch including the bloody fights something for both genders and truly genus programme.
2. Early Morning Juicing- Told you food would be on the list! My vita-mix has become my best friend again! and my favourite juice at present is the Pineapple, Papaya, Apple, Pear and Spinach with a hint of Ginger. Great alkalising juice mmmmm yum, add water to taste and depending on how thick you want the juice to be. Its a great substitute to breakfast or a spot on for a  mid-morning snack.
3. Forever ALOe Vera Gel- One shot of this every morning and honestly you will feel the benefits. Luscious hair, good nails, skin glows and digestive track stays in order and is fabulous for joints so a good one for me. I have been taking this for over a month now and can see the benefits why don't you read about it and give it a go.
4. Mrs FunnyBones-Book by Twinkle Khanna- Its a hilarious belly aching book and those that don't know she is the daughter of Rajesh khanna a bollywood actor during the 60's and married to a famous actor. She seriously knows how to laugh at her self and describe a typical day in the life of a Mum, Wife Daughter and working women . Its funny witty and a must read. Hope she writes more.
5. Bobbi Brown Berry Punch- This has fast become my favourite colour . Its a bright Deep pinky/purple colour and I love it, its a bright colour that livens up your face. A gloss finish and very moisturising. 
6. Anastascia Contour Kit- Now the hype on this was phenomenal and I didn't quite get sucked along with it initially but finally thought why don't I try it and see what the hype is all about. I have used it a few times now. Im still getting the hang of it and am obsessively watching tutorials on this and trying to copy it, not exactly succeeding!. However what I can say is that the Banana powder is brilliant and really brings out the light highlighted area well. The contour colours a very pigmented so you don't need too much. The highlight stands out. I think I need to play around it with it more, though initial feelings are its very good and it will last a long time.
7. Bircher Soft Apple and Raisin Muesli- I just love this and went on a recommendation by a you tuber and never looked back. Yes you can make your own gloppy bircher Muesli but this does the trick and tastes brilliant! just let the milk sit for 5 minutes and the consistency will be lovely. Try it!
8. White Musk Perfume from BodyShop- This perfume is my classic go to when I want something I know I will love no matter what. I first used this when I was 16! and yes it was affordable and a beautiful fresh musky smell, that lingers so lightly on your clothes. My visit to body shop ended in me buying this perfume and I love it, I get quite nostalgic wearing it. How many of you wear this, I know its quite a favourite.
9. Orange Digestive- New range so yummy if you are like me and love a good digestive then this does the job! dip it in tea or just take a bite and sip the tea just my favourite desert after dinner one biscuit or Two with tea . Its lovely and I hope they continue this.
10. Bee Strong Intensive Mask For the Hair-I recently had my hair dyed to a light brown colour, a lot of highlights went in , which meant my hair has become very dry. It is always suggested then when colour like this has been put in with your normal conditioner its good to once a week put in a deep conditioner to really get the hair hydrated the one I picked up was just on an instinct and I have to say it works a treat. I shampoo my hair as normal and leave this in for 10 minutes after really comb it through with your fingers and when you have washed it all it remains so soft and manageable. Worth a try super market or drugstore bought! 
11. Select Festive Eyeshadow Palette- Love this has such lovely colours especially the red and the gold mixed together with the dark shade just in the corner outer ends. All the colours fit well in the festive season. Put the red lightly all over the eye and the gold placed in the middle blend out the edges and add the shimmery black. Really works on a evening out or christmas do.
12. Asos Cape- I bought this in September its so lovely and warm. A Polo-neck type of Square cape with a button and open slip detailing not your normal run of the mill Capes, and my favourite for this year!
13. Youtube channels- I watch a lot but I have some that are fast becoming my favourites, because they inspire me and make me want to be a better person and live outside the box. I watch www.mimiikonn.com very inspiring does blogs and videos always inspiring and encouraging. www.delhifashionblogger.com- lovely young girls based in Delhi has some great makeup tutorials brilliant talks on controversial topics I love her spirit and aura, one to watch out for! Another lady that I have been addicted to is sheerzade Shroff an ex model who does challenges on youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/scherezadeshroff, clothing hauls has lots of travelling tips and ideas also does a Got to do India travelling youtube show its brilliant she's got a adventurous streak in her and not your run of the mill girl!. Lastly but not least is www.marieforleo.com she's kick-ass with spiritual topics  or then business ideas and how to stay motivated and has fabulous interviews.
