Inecto Pure Coconut review


Sometimes the most expensive products aren't necessarily the best and Inecto products are the perfect example of this.  As a natural redhead, my skin is notoriously sensitive and when my sister recommended Inecto I was slightly dubious.  But these products are a godsend! They are natural, have a really pleasant coconutty smell and at 2 pounds a pop, are really inexpensive.  The facial scrub in particular is great at leaving my skin feeling really clean and it kind to my skin.  I would highly recommend buying anything from the range.  They even do dry hair shampoo, and as much as I love Bastiste, it does not have the unpleasant chemically smell.  It kind on my skin and on the pocket.

It is stocked in Savers (a much better shop than Boots in my opinion) and Superdrug.

Seriously buy these products, you won't regret it.

DIY Glitter sunglasses

As anyone who reads my blog knows, I can't resist a bit of glitter.  When I saw these Miu Miu beauties, which I can only assume are a bit on the pricey side,  I thought to myself, "how hard would it be to customise my old sunglasses?"






It's so unbelievably easy to achieve the look without spending any money, using only a pair of old primark glasses and a glittery nail polish of your choice.

All you need to do is paint your sunnies, its as simple as that!  Sadly the pictures fail to show how sparkly they are.  But trust me they turn out really glittery.


After taken pic with the glasses on, I realised they inadvertently matched my nails.  Well I did say I liked glitter!

Sparkly mani

I'm not usually a fan of french manicures as they always conjure up images of overly styled WAGS.  But after viewing a blog by The black pearl I decided to try a sparkly one as I can't resist a bit of glitz.






Inspiration






The polishes I used.  The models own one has lasted for about 3 years!




My attempt




Overall I'm really happy with the result.  They remind me of the outfits on Strictly Come Dancing, but whats wrong with that?

Bargain of the Century

As everyone I know will testify i'm a avid supporter of the flat shoe.  I'm either living in my black New Look boots or my trusty M&S brogues.  But today I had a lapse in judgement and was overcome by girly lust when I saw these...

Boots-Office
 I just couldn't resist these and at 6 inches high, I can barely stand in them.  But I noticed they were 105 pounds reduced to 12, all my common sense went out the window.  And that price i'll be carried around on a throne if I have too.  Either that, or my man can just carry me around...actually on second thought, where's my throne?

Needful things

I haven't really been in the blogging mood recently as I haven't been able to afford anything in the light of all the boozing thru halloween and bonfire night.  You can imagine my joy when I found out I had been paid today.  Due to this I started to trawl thru all the websites to see all the lustful clothes.

So I started to think about all the lovely colours and fabrics I like to wear in Autumn/Winter... and no balck, grey or white in sight (well almost...)

I absolutely love lace in winter, there's something that reminds me of frostbitten fairy tales.  Velvet adds a touch of glamour to cold foggy nights.  And I can't go a couple of days without wearing some kind of animal print, be it my trusty leopard, dalmatian and tortoiseshell.  I know the cold miserable days make you want to hide away in black and grey but I like to add some colur with purple, teal, mustard and chartruese.


I'm loving coloured jeans at the mo' as its an easy way to add colour to an outfit.  It doesn't matter whay season it is, what time of day it is...I can't stop wearing dresses.  Easy and effortlessly stylish with cable knit tights and my trusty New Look black ankle boots.

Now I just want to win the lottery so I can Topshop and Asos. I wonder if Santa can arrange this....

make up

I've always been fascinated with stop motion, so I decided to try and make one for uni.  It's not perfect and it took my 2 hours to make but i'm really proud of it.

So here it is...Make up.


Ps  I NEVER wear my make up like that but it helps to emphasise the change in my face.
