Exfoliate away...

dead skin. It's important to scrub your face and body often or as you may like to call it, exfoliate. You should scrub your face and body a couple of times in a month as it's vital to get rid of any impurities and to bring out the smooth new skin. There are many good scrubs out there in the market but I would recommend St Ives' range of body scrubs. For the past month, I have been using the scrub for 'all skin types' and I think it's great. It makes my skin smooth and bright. The good thing is that they are affordable and there are different types. Your skin will look radiant and refreshing. You could opt for the expensive exfoliators too but all you need to do is: Get scrubbing.

Mua's £1 range

Make Up Academy has introduced its £1 range, yes, that's right only a pound. I was surprised too when I found the perfect aqua coloured eyeshadow for my outfit when wondering through the makeup aisles. There are so many products to choose from, including lipsticks, mascaras, eye colours, blushers and even nail varnishes. You will be spoilt for choice. I shall be visiting Superdrug again to purchase additional items for myself as the range is so worth it. So ladies get your pounds...or even pennies out :)

I want that

I am in love with a Mango bag, which I saw a couple of weeks ago at the Mango store at Covent Garden. It's a quilt design shoulder bag, and it has the Mango logo engraved on the front. It was the only one left and the condition wasn't so good. So a couple of days later I had to head to London again, I went to the one at Oxford Street, asked the supervisor about it and waited for 15 minutes, hoping to get the bag. But no, It wasn't available. With less time on my hands, I had no option but to forget about it in the meanwhile. Now, I really want it! I hardly treat myself, so I'm hoping to get my hands on it soon. Fingers crossed.

Striking Stripes

Whether you like it or not, but stripes are in this season. They are bigger and better. Personally, I wouldn't wear stripes as they don't make me look so flattering, or maybe I would wear the verticle ones, but the stripes I have seen on some clothes are pretty impressive and so bold!

My latest buy=Lipstick.

I have to share the latest product I have brought, yes, it's a pretty lipstick with a beautiful shade, by Estee Lauder. The lipsticks are new to the range-they are called Pure Color. They are shimmery and they last longer. I wanted a red colour but not too bright and not too dark. So I was recommended to buy the 'Bitten Fig' shade. It's a red colour with a touch of pink. It was £18. I have worn it twice and I'm loving it, it's good for the casual days and even parties. Just apply accordingly.

Radox smoothies

I am loving Radox's shower smoothies, they are packed with natural ingredients good for your skin and they smell absolutely gorgeous. I brought the natural yogurt one with honey and almond bits. I trust those ingredients as I know they are beneficial to the skin. My one is called 'Natural balance', the others are: 'Spirit booster', 'Soul Smoother', 'Tropical' and ' Energy therapy'. The 'Natural balance' smells yummy, that's why it says on the packaging 'don't drink me'. Try them, but don't end up drinking them :)

Good Friday will be good!

I am looking forward to Good Friday not that I am going anywhere out to celebrate or anything but just to my sister's flat for a girly party and may be a sleepover. I'm happy for my sister who has got a nice spacious flat and I'm looking forward to the party, where everyone will have to cook something and bring it in. I'm not sure what I'm cooking but it could be a home-made pizza. We will see. I'm more excited about what I will be wearing. I actually ordered a beautiful blue dress from Boohoo and I still need to figure out what accessories I will wear and what colour shrug. The dress in itself is lovely, it has sequins on the top and it flows well. I love the silky material too. I want to wear red lipstick as I love the colour but I shall see. Here's the dress:

NO7's Poppy King Range.

Lipstick legend Poppy King has collaborated with makeup brand No7 to create seven gorgeous lipstick and lipgloss shades. These shades are made for women to change their views on lipsticks. The shades are simply beautiful and will suit anyone who loves lipsticks or even who is lipstick shy. If you're lipstick shy, then it's advised to go for a sheer colour to start of with. You need to wear a shade for a bit in order to know that it suits you. Once your shyness fades then you can go for more daring colours. My favourite colour from the range has to be 'History' because I love the red shade, it's timeless, sexy and bold!

Estee Lauder's double wear

You may have read my post previously on foundations, but there was one foundation from a makeup co I didn't try and that is Estee Lauder, which I have tried lately and which I absolutely love. I have even brought it. I've heard from a few people that Estee Lauder's foundations are fantastic, especially the double wear. It won't easily melt in the hot weather or even go on your clothes, like if you're wearing a scarf or a polo neck. It's a long lasting foundation. I was so impressed with the coverage when the lovely Estee Lauder tried it on me. I took the 'shell beige' sample home and it looked a little dark on me in the natural light, so I went back after a few days to get another shade. The 'wheat' shade I got was perfect. I got the sample and also brought it. I can mix both shades in the summer if I want to go darker. The best thing about Estee Lauder is that they have a refund policy-so if you're not happy with the actual foundation you can return it and only Estee Lauder holds this policy.
