12 Days of Christmas | Day 2

DAY 2 - CALL ME RUDOLPH

IT'S CHRISTMAS! Or at least it was a couple hours ago. Day two people, now y'all know I don't wear colour too tough but this is as Christmassy as my travelling wardrobe was ha. Christmas was lovely as always, bless my little bro who though he didn't get any present (he's 7) his face was epic in the morning. Not a lot of cooking to be done this year so I opted to keep it cosy but presentable. My twinnie came to visit.! Honestly all I heard was knocking on the front door then the windows I was going to run away but hey ho it was my gumdrop. Obviously when in each others presence what best to do - than to talk about our feelings and stuff - than to take photos!

And trust that the one picture I didn't take was of the food! Ah well y'all know how it goes Insta will enlighten you enough. The drinks were flowing. Had the Guinness punch, disaronno the baileys, flemish and the king Supermalt. It was too funny with the music, the dancing and the constant turn up for Jesus (Can I get an Amen)

Hope you likey

12 Days Of Christmas | Day 1

DAY 1 - CHINA, CHINESE & BUNS

Ni Hao everybody so Christmas 2014 has come and gone but obviously I have to keep it going so I've decided to do the twelve days of christmas. I don't know about y'all but I really hope I'm not the only one that didn't realise the twelve days started on christmas day, guess it makes sense though. So in these twelve posts I'll be showing you anything and everything from daily outfits to food and restaurants, keeping up with Boxing day and New year sales, fashion, beauty and more.

Everyday I'll have a 'one to watch' item, website or something worth checking out, so be sure to scroll to the bottom of each post.

From me to you Happy holidays.

This was my go to outfit for my journey back home to London for the holidays.
 I usually don't wear shirts but gravitated to this one whilst getting dressed. Yeah I usually don't plan my outfits too tough but this worked. Giving my scalp time to breeeeathe I've opted for braids for a little while. The oriental print of the shirt made me want to have a top knot styled bun. Never done it before, but love that it can be as messy, slanted, high, low or neat as you want it to be and it stays put! no pins or extra bands needed. My nails are growing so well so I'm a happy bunny just trying to keep protecting them and such, grey nails weren't planned but hey matching matching.

Outfit Details - Shirt - Vintage; Leggings - H&M; Watch - Casio.

Let the eating commence, amongst the food prep and all we decided to have a 'little' take out before christmas, Kung Po to vermicelli it was all welcome in my stomach. I just realised writing this chinese food, Chinese inspired prints it all came together nicely.

Gaya

Introducing Gaya Cosmetics

This isn't sponsored just me sharing the good news because I love y'all.

Excited is not even the word. So I'm not that big on make up, well not as much as you would expect. I love a bargain and usually stick with what I know and keep it moving. Now imagine this. Casually walking through the bullring with Sarah (in Birmingham for those who are less familiar with the town) and get stopped by a lovely lady at one of those stand alone counters. Now shock horror we actually stopped and let her say what she had to say. People it doesn't stop there, not only did we try the product, we bought it! Lord take me now.

So you know something is so right its wrong, from when I actually purchased a powder foundation (team liquid usually) but it's also a concealer too. She said that and I said 'you lie' honestly I did, then she put it on me.

It feels so smooth and so light and literally all I could think about was using it in summer. Perfect way to control shine and still have coverage plus it's a natural UV filter she said. At the moment they are doing an offer and let me tell you the prices aren't cheap but it's so worth it and that's coming from me (as bargain crazy as I am). Not only did she apply it for me but I was able to try it myself buffing it in with a brush and using a smaller brush and more powder to create a concealed look. Really quick, easy and build-able look.

If you genuinely want an all in one foundation, concealer, skin protector etc. that gives not only a flawless finish but reduces shine then this is your new friend. Not only that with this product you can mix colour to create your perfect shade and this is a service that is provided all year round...which means come winter or summer when most of our shades fluctuate they cater to changing your colour to suit your tone at the time. I know it should be illegal.

This product is new and exclusive and something not a lot of people know about it and at the moment it is only available in one place in the UK (Birmingham) but do look out new branches will be opening very very soon. It's a lot pricier online, I would suggest going and trying it if you can. This is honestly a gift from me to you.

I went for the VIP package which includes, my foundation shade (10 - their darkest) a choice or bronzer or blush (I chose blush, my dark skin isn't a fan on bronzer too tough) a brush worth £28 in itself and a VIP card giving you 20% for life. Yes Life.
Not the best picture head scarf and all I so wasn't ready but it shows off the finish well. No filter and no other face products -foundation etc. It makes my pores look smaller! Oh and pardon my laptop it doesn't want to allow this picture to rotate sigh.
