Unorganised Sister

From the title you can see how I got stuck into this situation. My sister is really unorganized, so she asked for me to help me her find an outfit for a boat party she is going to tonight, yes I said tonight. We went around town for three hours just trying to find an outfit it was a nightmare. The dress code for this event was smart; it took us a while to find out what my sister really wanted to wear. Finally, in River Island spotted a plain leather skirt that would be dressed down or up for any occasion. We paired this with a simple crop top and a dressy necklace.





Outfit

Necklace: Topshop (Can't find on the website but is in store)
Skirt: River Island
Bralet Top: Topshop 
Heels: River Island (She has had them for a while)
Bag: Celine

As I had helped her with her outfit I thought that is fine I have done my bit, but it wasn’t over yet for me. She asked me to do her makeup. So I never really do other peoples makeup but my sister kept asking me, so I thought why not and can show you guys what I used for makeup for nights out (I’m not amazing, so do excuse anything that may look a bit crap). I went for a simple but elegant eye makeup and subtle face makeup.

Lifestyle: Shoreditch Food Village








I went for a burrito with grilled chicken and the other entire amazing bit with it, but had to obviously added guacamole. It was such a good burrito and exactly what I needed when you are quite peckish.



It was such a filling snack but so worth the money. I would so recommend this cool little pop up food village, for those who like to go to different places in London and explore.




If you are Shoreditch and you want a lovely snack for lunch I would defiantly suggest Shoreditch Food Village! They do different types of food around the world that will suit everyone’s taste, this is something I wouldn’t want people to miss, so I had to tell you about it.

Autumn Wishlist

Autumn Wishlist

As the weather has changed so dramatically in the UK, It is that time when summer has come to an end. Although, this is when it becomes harder to dress, as you don’t know if it going to raining, or summer. So I just picked a few items that would take myself nicely into the autumn. The key to this weather is keep laying thin layers whilst we get closer to winter.

What are your favourite autumn pieces?

Beauty: Daily Essentials Top-up

Sorry I haven’t blogged in a while, I got carried away with relaxing before I have to start my job.

Anyways, it has come to that time of the month where everything I use daily has come to an end, they aren’t that exciting but it is something that I feel everyone would be constantly buying. So I thought why not do a blog post.



Palmers cocoa butter -  I literally can’t live without a body cream, my skin scream for it! This is something I purchase all the time, you can buy this everywhere to beauty store to supermarkets. I literally love the smell of cocoa butter so much! Like I can’t get enough of it. If you haven’t tried it or love the smell of cocoa you should so get this!!

Colgate Toothbrushes and Wisdom Flosser – I don’t think I need to say much about these. If you don’t have one!! WHAT are you cleaning your teeth with!

Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturiser - I buy this now and again, as I have said before, I have quite sensitive skin. So simple products are the answer to that. I love how it is rich moisturer as you feel you are actually replenishing your skin. As it is a budget buy I don’t feel you can go with product.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water – I have heard a lot about the Bioderma’s Crealine H20 Cleanser but I have never purchase it. But when I found out Garnier had brought something similar I was like I need to try it. After a long time, I have finally purchased it. So after I used it for a while, I will update you on my thought and experiences using it.

Have any of you got products you always top up on?

Lifestyle: My Summer Favourites

As you have seen from my recent post, I have been on holiday. So I thought I would post about the things I was always grabbing for on holiday. I have used these products constantly on holiday and continue to do so in the UK.

Whenever the seasons change, I always changed the products and items I used. For the summer like a natural dewy glow, messy hair and a really golden tan, with pops of colour mostly orange!! With no more to say here are the products and items I absolutely love this summer.



MAC Lipstick – Morange

Morange is my ultimate Summer lipstick. The vibrant neon Orange shade is perfect throughout the summer months and it looks amazing with a tan. This is definitely my go-to lipstick when I was away on holiday.

MAC SKIN MINERALISE SKIN FINISH 'GOLD DEPOSIT'

As I have already spoke about this in another blog post, I won’t bang on how much I love this for the summer. But I must say with tanned skin, this was prefect for a quick healthy, natural glow all over the face.

Garnier Ambre Solaire Golden Lotion

First of all, I absolutely loved this product! It was amazing. What I love about this suncream is the smell! It is so summery and refreshing! It has a nice blend of 'jasmine and sea salts along with tiare, orchid and coconut'. This also has Monoi oil, which is a scented-oil, used widely as a skin and hair softener. It absorbs fairly quickly and doesn't leave any kind of film on your body. It actually feels moisturising for your skin! The best thing I like about this product was the pearl shimmer effect it gave your skin after applying. Overall, I would recommend this is a very good sunscreen, that does its job but feels more like a nourishing lotion. It doesn't leave any white marks and gives s a lovely luminosity to your skin. These can be purchases at local supermarket, or Boots, Superdrug and many more.

Garnier Ambre solaire Golden Touch After Sun

This aftersun was the ultimate pair with the suncream. This cream is really light with an effectively cools the skin. It contains Monoi Oil, which gives it an exotic scent while pearl shimmer illuminates tanned skin. I love this after sun. It smells amazing; feels cooling and hydrates sun-parched skin, plus the pretty shimmer is a welcome bonus.

Dolce and Gabbana Sunglasses

If you don’t have a pair of sunglasses for the summer! How are you coping, as soon as the sun is out these babies are on constantly. It is always good to have a good pair of sunglasses; you can have protected yours eye. Right you know where I’m going here so I will stop.

Havaianas BRAZIL WHITe 

I have worn these most of the summer; they are so handy and very comfy! This was ideal for the by the pool and a go to flip-flops on holiday.

Have you had any summer favourites?

Lifestyle: Egypt - Sharm El Sheikh Photo Diary





















My Family & I had a last minute holiday trip to Sharm el Sheikh. We went to explore and relax as well as have family time. 



We had an amazing time and the 7 days whizzed by so quickly we just wanted to stay a bit longer. On a whole I would explain Sharm el Sheikh to be very touristy, cultured and interesting. The Egyptian were friendly and like to have a good chat.
As a family we received quite a few comment asking where we was from and said that we looked Egyptian.

I really enjoyed Sharm el Sheikh and I love sharing photo diaries for you guys.

Wishing you all a lovely week!
