{CLOSED} Giveaway: Win A Fabulous Pair of Sunnies

Hi Beauties,

I recently got the opportunity to select a fabulous pair of sunnies from Sunglasses Shop in the UK, and I chose these amazingly gorgeous purple shades which you will see featured in upcoming outfit posts ~ now you can have your very own pair!!!

This is to say thank you for supporting me, I expected when I became a cruelty free blogger that I will lose some followers as I won't be blogging about new collections anymore or things that are a hype in the blogesphere, but in fact you have all stayed loyal to me, and I have gained more lovely subbies.  I appreciate each and every one of you!!!  So just wanted to say thank you for your kind comments, for subscribing and reading my blog!!! 

I was introduced to Sunglasses Shop UK through another blogger, and I can literally spend hours browsing their website, and if you've seen a pair of sunnies on a celeb they have a section where you can see 'as seen on celebs' which I think is so cool, they have all designer glasses you can think of, plus other fabulous ones too, so you can afford a pair of sunnies and your bank account will thank you for it LoL. 

Okay ~ So one lucky winner will be able to select any pair of sunnies from this link:

{NOTD} Candy Stripes and Sparkles

Hi my Lovelies,

I hope you've had an amazing week so far?!

 

 

 

 

 

Don't you think my nails look good enough to eat?  Hehe ... indeed they were painted in all ice-cream colours, I truly wish I had talent when it comes to nail art, but I'm afraid the best thing I could come up with, was just to give a strip in the middle.

 

I painted my nails with Essie in French Affair, with my accent nail in Mint Candy Apple, and with a stripe of Mint Candy Apple over the French Affair, I then used Essence Nail Art Twins Glitter Topper in 02 julia.

 

I love using glitters on my nails, but it's usually such a hassle to take it off ~ but it truly just makes nails pop and look super pretty and girly.

 

In case you're wondering, these nail polishes are not cruelty free, I still use some of the cosmetics I have because it was rather expensive, until such time that I've managed to at least replace them.

 

Have a fabulous Friday beauties :-)

Review: Dream Nails Beauty

Hi Gorgeous Gals,

Imagine candyfloss pink, heavenly white sweetened with the aromas of relaxation and romance ~ All in the midst of what we call a concrete jungle.



And you'll end up here, the new revamped Dream Nails Beauty salons.  I felt so spoilt having the opportunity to review one of their new salons in the Cresta Shopping Centre, it's the perfect location to treat yourself to one of their amazing pamper products, especially after a day of shopping right.  I don't know if I'm the only one but I always need a good foot massage or some treatment after making serious damage to my bank account, seriously, anyone who disagrees with me here has never been on a proper shopping trip, but it's hard work right? LoL ;)

 

 

 

 

 



I got spoilt with the following treatments, oh can I just say, have you noticed the awesome flat screens on the wall, I am loving it!  You may know that I'm quite a TV fanatic, and throughout they have video's playing of how nails are done, the different shapes and types of nails available, some are rather interesting, like the Lady Gaga pointy shapes.  At least it gives you something to do whilst being pampered :-) I also wanted to mention this, because I am quite a germaphobe, they do sanitize everything before using it on a client, which I loved!

Full Body Massage with Soy Candle (60 min) - R320.00*

Who doesn't love the ambiance and lovely smell from candles right?  Well now you can use them as an essential oil to massage and moisturise your skin!  I absolutely adore these candles because they're eco-friendly, have a range of the most beautiful fragrances, and contains essential oils that is moisturising and relaxing.  I cannot explain to you how wonderful it feels to be massaged with warm wax, there is something very dreamy and calming, and although I tried my best to make mental notes, I soon drifted off into a lovely bubble of nothingness, the pressure the therapist used was just right.  Usually I tend to go 'eehhh' inside my head because some therapists are quite strong, and therefore certain areas can be a bit painful, but she got it just right, and afterwards my body felt completely at ease.  You can buy these candles from the salon, they are packaged in gorgeous boxes which also makes it an ideal gift for that someone special!  Oh and have a look because they have the most amazing candles for all the mommies-to-be and for your little ones.

Polish Pro (Light Cured Polish) - R150.00 per mani or pedi*

This is quite a unique concept, and I was very interested to see what it's about, best of all it's cruelty free.  Polish Pro is a lightly cured polish, the best way for me to describe it is as a gel-polish, however, the application time is the same as with a standard mani/pedi with a few seconds under a UV light to set it.  It soaks off within a matter of minutes.  They said that it can last for up to 2 weeks, however, I did notice a slight chip after 3 days and it's now been on for almost a week and 7 of my nails have chipped slightly.  It still lasts longer than just painting your nails with nail polish, and I'm really loving it because I recently removed my acrylic nails which I've had for a couple of months, and this has helped to make my nails feel so much stronger.   The colour range is spectacular, and I ended up going for a pretty rose-pink colour:

 

 

One of the new pamper things they provide that I absolutely adore, is a 15 minutes neck, shoulder and foot reflexology massage for R50.00 with any treatment booked.  I tried the reflexology foot massager and it truly felt incredible, it also makes the time go by in a jiffy when you're sitting there getting your nails done.

 

They have salons nationwide in South-Africa, you can find them here:

{Outfit of the Day} In The Nude

Hi Pretties,

I hope my title did not mislead you a little LoL ;)

Hope your Monday wasn't too bad and hope you have a fantastic week!  Have you noticed my new blog layout and look ~ Let me know what you think but I am totally in love with it!  Contact this lovely girl Felicity from Pursuit of Felicity, you won't regret it promise.

During our short break to the beach in Jeffreys Bay in December, my mom and I found the cutest boutique called The Hip Shop.  It was like shopping heaven, all sparkly packed with new goodies that eagerly invites you in to max out your credit card {again}.  Okay, excuse my melodramatics hehe but if you're a girly girl and into shiny, flowy and pretty things, this is the shop for you. 

And they're really well priced, I'd say around the same as YDE, and the quality is really good with spot on and personalised customer services.  News is that they are planning to open a shop in Johannesburg soon, as they're currently based in Jeffreys Bay, I cannot wait for the launch, in the meantime I'll drool over the goodies on their Facebook page here.

 

 

 

 

 

I could look at these shoes the whole day!  Beyond gorgeous!

 

 

Jeans ~ Sissy Boy (My favourite at the moment)*

Sparkly Belt ~ The Hip Shop

Flowy Nude Coloured Top ~ The Hip Shop

Shoes ~ Mr Price

And the lovely sparkly bag ~ The Hip Shop

Bangles ~ Mr Price

 

I really love this outfit it, I usually incorporate colour somewhere and I guess you could see it in the shoes, but it's just a really pretty but comfy outfit, and could easily be worn on a date out, the movies or dinner.  The top is so multi-functional, and can be worn with leggings and flats for a Saturday shopping trip.  Really, the options are endless.

 

I hope you liked it lovelies :-)
