Bald Head And Loving It!




I can't believe that I actually did it! I actually shaved my hair and bleached it.*shocked face*

I had been been thinking about doing this for so long for many reasons, one being I couldn't find a decent hairdresser for afro hair and two because I felt as though I needed to be fearless and as women we let our hair define us to much.

I'm not too happy with the colour, I will be bleaching it again so I can get that platinum blonde.

Skin Type 101

I always tell my clients that the route to getting beautiful makeup is great skin. The first step to looking after your skin is knowing your skin type so you can buy the appropriate products. So I have listen all the skin types and their characteristics below to help you identify you skin type is.

Normal Skin
  • Neither Oily nor dry
  • Blemish free
  • Fresh, healthy appearance
  • Not many specific problems
  • Little to no fine lines
  • Firm with a good muscle tone
  • Smooth texture
  • No visible pores
Combination Skin
  • The pattern of oily and dry areas can change from time to time, owing to environmental factors, age, hormones, diet,medication so the skin care needs to be adjusted accordingly 
  • Oily T-Zone
  • Visible blemishes on the T-Zone
  • Fine lines and wrinkles around the area
  • Slight flakiness and redness on the cheek area
  • Complexion can seem dull and lifeless
Dry skin
  •  Dryness increases with age
  • Skin feels gaur immediately after face has been washed
  • Skin feels rough and slightly flaky
  • Noticeable fine lines and wrinkles
  • There are small pores and skin is quite matte in appearance
  • Skin is easily burned
Oily skin
  • Overly enthusiastic skin due to over active oil glands
  • Shiny in appearance
  • Makeup comes off quite easily
  • Enlarged pores
  • Skin may be coarse and thicker in texture
  • Blackheads, whiteheads and acne are common
I hope this helps you identify your skin type. You can also wash your face, let it air dry and then check for the listed characteristics.

Gucci Guilty


I'm one of those people that usually have just one perfume but lately I have been into perfumes quite a lot, I'm actually building a perfume collection. My recent purchase is the Gucci Guilty. Love.Love this scent . I purchased the perfume along with the lotion. I was shocked that I actually liked it because I usually like the floral and fruity scents but this is far from it. Its mature and classy. The scent doesn't last as long as I would like it to considering the price but I still like it none the less.

The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes

I'm all for neutral eye shadows so much that I find myself just buying them just because you can never have enough neutral in your makeup kit! I sound crazy don't I?





 Yes to this awesome foursome!

It's the weirdest packaging I have come across yet. Its four eye shadow cubes in their own little plastic cubes and a lid placed in a large cube which has a lid too. It's such a task to get to the actual eye shadow, especially if you have long nails. I wish It was in a simple flip-open pallete, however it's still an amazing set eye shadows.

Why I love it:
The eye shadow is highly pigmented
Beautiful neutral colours with the right amount of shimmer

Why I hate it:
The packaging! A box in a box, in another box sigh* 

Other than the packaging I absolutely love it, this is my everyday go to pallete, I can't go wrong. I can use the colours for soft smokey eye during the day and pair that with a bold lip for a  night time look.  The Shimmer Cubes are available at The Body Shop online and in store for $40AUD/ £16GDP

Have you tried the cubes?  What did you think of them? let me know in the comments below :)
