New Year, Who This?

2017-02-26T15:39:00.001-08:00

Hey babes, yes I know it's me, I abandoned my blog but I am back to take care of my baby!!

So back to basics; where have I been?

I told you loves that I had gone back to university & last year was my first year of medical school so training to be a doctor and it was NOT easy at all!

I had classes monday through friday starting as early as 7.30am & finishing as late as 6.30pm so blogging took a back seat.

I did however, start a YOUTUBE CHANNEL because it was easier as compared to taking time out to go out & take fashion pictures; that involved inconveniencing someone else & with our workload it was hard to ask my friends to be continuously taking time out for that.

Thankfully, I am in second year & although I still have a heavy workload, I know the system & I am trying to plan my time better & work harder on my blog.

With that been said; my makeup skills have gotten a lot better & this is what is on my face!

My Go-To Everyday Makeup Look with Brown Lips (Kylie Jenner Lip Colour) ♥

2016-01-12T14:55:00.002-08:00

Hey loves; hope you're doing well. I have a makeup look for you today & I am so excited to share with you my current go to makeup. I got requested to do a natural makeup look after my latest tutorial here.

I love a natural soft glam espescially as I am not an everyday lashes person but I LOVE my base to be on point *am all about the base* LOL

Today, I will talk you through my makeup; hope you enjoy.

My eyebrows are the hardest to do & one is the perfect arch whereas the other is simply a lazy eye lol

I use the Sleek Eyebrow Stylist in Dark & used their brow gel to keep my brow hairs in place as they like to be unruly sometimes.

I use the Benefit Boing concealer to neaten out my brows but you can use other concealers too that might be cheaper; I just use this one cos I have it in my collection.

For my eyes; I usually don't do eyeshadows on a day to day basis; I just put a flesh colour tone powder on my lids to mute out any discolouration & used my Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat lashes mascara. I really like this mascara & I shall be doing a proper review on it soon.

I always prime my face with the Kiko Mat base primer.

For foundation I used my Dior Foundation which was reviewed here. My shade is 070 & I love this foundation as it is literally the perfect colour & it give me the much needed glow.

The concealer I am wearing is the Charlotte Tilbury retoucher in '8'. I have been really going ham on Charlotte Tilbury products; they are quite pricey but the quality though!

I set my under concealer with the Ben Nye Camel Powder & set my whole face with my Makeup Forever Duo Matt Powder.

To bronze my face I use the Covergirl Bronzer in ebony bronze & contoured with my usual Sleek contour kit in Medium.

Lastly onto my lips; I love these brown slightly glossy lips; for me it's the Kylie Jenner lipcolour that is dark skin friendly.

I lined my lips with a brown liner specifically Mac Chestnut lipliner & the L'oreal Liquid lipstick in 703 Caramel Solo.

Oh before I forget I highlighted with my Sleek Contour kit & used it in the inner tearduct to brighten up my eyes.

What do you think of this look?

What are your go to makeup products?

Date At Yo Sushi ♥♥

2016-01-07T19:37:00.000-08:00

YoSushi

Hey loves; how are you all doing? I recently went on a date with one of my girls to Yo Sushi & I wanted to tell you guys about this wonderful place. If you know me AT ALL then you will know that I LOVE food, Food = BAE like it's just life.

Me & my friend get on majorly because we love food too but we are on the #skinny2016kick (LOL) so we wanted to go somewhere slightly healthier.

Now sushi is very healthy & Yo Sushi is; yes you guessed it a sushi place; so we chose that venue for our date night.

Yo Sushi has a lot to offer on their menus from sushi with different fillings; prawns (I love prawns) & so much more. They also have fries & they are soooo good; btw that wasn't a healthy choice but oh well. YOLO! They also have deserts.

How it work is you get a menu & they have different coloured dishes for different prices so you know roughly how much you are spending & let me tell you guys my FAT ass spent £25 on sushi, see my life!

If you haven't been to Yo Sushi before, you totally should & if you have tell me what your favourite dish was. Mine is the prawn tempura & the sushi &avocado & the fries. Major key to SUCCESS!

Speak soon loves,

How to Start Your Weight Loss Journey in 2016 ♥ BooTea Review

2016-01-06T14:23:00.000-08:00

Welcome to 2016. So you went all in & ate all the food you could find in your path yea?

Yep so did I.

So now you are feeling as big as a house & do not where to start?

Yep me too BUT I got the solution; BooTea.

Now if you are like me, you have already heard about Boo Tea many times; I saw that it was on offer in Holland & Barrets & I decided to pick it up. I used it for a 14 day period & these are my thoughts.

My slendertoxtea is one of my most read posts so I think this will be of use.

I also got the BooTea Little oats which I thought was cute & it would have intensified the weight loss; also I usually have porridge in the mornings at work so I thought it will be a good breakfast option.

So a little bit about BooTea.

BooTea is a UK based health supplement company that promotes an active & healthy balanced lifestyle (according to their site).

They don't promote a quick fix diet but promote a healthy lifestyle instead. Yup I get that; a lifestyle yields so much more benefits than a fad diet.

So the BooTea comes with a Daytime Detox & a Night time Detox & the 2 are NOT to be swapped cos GIRL you will NOT have a good day. As I said I used both the Daytime Teatox in the morning & the oat as well.

From their site:

Bootea makes a point of using only the best natural ingredients for your body. All ingredients are pure, natural & preservative free!

The aim of Bootea is to give you the boost you need to get back on track with your healthy eating and active lifestyle. The ingredients used in our teas have been used for centuries for health and wellbeing purposes but it is only now we have finally brought all these unique ingredients into one perfect, rounded product. Teatox is a fancy word we use to describe the way the body goes through a natural process of elimination, by removing unwanted ‘toxins’ & built up waste matter, from your body via the lungs, kidneys, bowels and skin.

You can see what the Teatox looks like just above, its like a mix of loose leaves & as they said it's all natural ingredients. All the ingredients are on the site here.

So what I noticed/Benefits:

I went to the toilet a lot more; but it wasn't the horrible shits like 'omg it's about to pop out' but it was regular poo-ing just a lot more often during the mornings. I guess that's when the Nighttime Teatox kicked in.

I was a lot less bloated; we all hate that bloated feeling & this just got rid of it after 3-5 days of using it.

I had ZERO tummy pains; the morning tea has no laxative but the evening tea does & I have used a laxative once before (NEVER AGAIN) & with the laxative, I had it felt like someone was punching me with an axe inside my tummy '__' but not with BooTea.

The tea actually doesn't taste bad; if you are used to Green Tea, peppermint tea & all those kind of teas, you will love it.

I did lose some weight; between 5-7lbs in 2 weeks; which is quite a lot if you think about it. I wasn't excercising as much as I wanted to.

So in conclusion; BooTea is really worth the hype & it actually does work to kickstart your weight loss journey. It can get you into the healthy lifestyle routine.

This is also good if you don't have much time to go to the gym but want to start getting healthier. They also have a 28day one if you want it for a longer period.

The little oats is awesome because it can be your breakfast meal, I always add a banana to my porridge so it makes me fuller.

Also with the Little Oats, if you do get it; STICK TO THE TIMING GIVEN ON THE PACKET.

I usually use the Quaker Oats brand & I usually put that in the microwave for 2 mins & when I tried that with the BooTea little oats it splattered everywhere so READ the INSTRUCTIONS. Don't be sill like me.

Buy here with offers

I do like BooTea & now they have multivitamins & shakers which is good depending on what you like; I personally don't like shakes '__' but there's something for everyone.

Have you tried BooTea? What are your thoughts on these type of teas to lose weight or kickstart your weight loss?

Would you like me to do more weight loss posts?

Thanks for stopping by & be sure to follow me on Instagram & Twitter (@afeeyah).

Speak soon babes,

2015 Blessings & Goals/Aspirations for 2016 ♥ Hello 2016!

2016-01-03T14:07:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year my love; YESSS, we have made it; we have crossed into a new year, a new ERA, 2016; the Year of Unlimited Possibilities.

Hello 2016!

I thank God for keeping & preserving us through last year; the whole 365 days without fail; there has been may tragedies and we have lost a lot of awesome dope people but thank God we have been able to see this new year so here's counting our blessings & being grateful for what we have been given.

Let's talk about God's blessings through 2015; I am extremely to have spent this year with all of you. This year I gained admission back into university after trying for 3 years and basically giving up. This year God showed me to rely on him before everything. This year I made new friends that taught me how to love & be kind.

This year I was featured on Buzzfeed & worked with several brands & made lots of connections.

This year I lost weight; gained weight, lost it again & now at this stage the weight has been FOUND & I am trying to get rid of it again LOL. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL YO!

2016 is about to be PHENOMENAL. I don't believe in Resolutions; I believe in setting GOALS & being able to HIT & TICK them all. These goals are meant to make a DIFFERENCE in not only my life but to better those around me.

Here are my 2016 goals;

1. Make God my everything; to be honest, I slipped up a bit at the end of last year but thank God he is faithful to restore & this year I want to start it strong & finish STRONG in the Lord.

Ways to do this:

Inject in my everyday life; in my early morning prayers; on my social media feed (Facebook, Insta, Twitter & tumblr). When you surround yourself with what you want to have more of, it's easier to have more of it.
Ensure I make church & prayers a priority & when i can't make it to church, still listen to the Word
People I follow that are awesome to encourage are Pastor Rick Warren, Heather & Cornelious Lindsey, RealTalkKim (on insta), Joyce Meyer, Paged like godlydating101 (insta), artsychristian (insta), dana chanel (insta), chloeadosreis (insta), the 365movement (insta).

2. Blog goals; I want to build my brand and take everything up a notch; I want the blog to be FLEEKY, and I want to learn new skills to share with you guys & it's not just makeup & fashion but life skills too that can be used to better each other. I help you, you help me :)
I want my MAKEUP, HAIR & EVERYTHING to be FLEEKY!

link

3.Travel more; last year I visited Marrakech (posts 1, 2 & Sicily (posts 1,2 & 3) which was just awesome & helped me broaden my horizon. Travelling just allows me to have experiences & memories that will forever stay with me.

This year, it will be hard to go away as I will be studying full time so I will be trying to save as much as I can. I will do a post about how to find affordable holidays but you want to look on Wowcher.com for awesome holiday deals.

4. I need to have a healthy lifestyle, last year my lifestyle was really good, I incorporated a lot of fruit & veg in there & this year I plan to introduce a lot more of that. Soup is also another one of my great assets in staying fit.

5. Read more, Last year, I decided to read and started a few book. I have been buying a lot of books & now I have about 8 to get into this year & hopefully I can read & share some book reviews with you all.

6. This year I want to up my game; also I want to speak more about Health & Fitness & provide you with more lifestyle posts. Let me know if you like the sound of that.

I am uploading 3 POSTS a week in January so look forward to that my loves.

Excited about 2016? Me too :)

What about you loves? What was the highlight of 2015? What are your goals & aspirations?

Let me know down below!

Speak soon,

Christmas 2015 & My Holiday Traditions ♥

2015-12-21T15:25:00.003-08:00

Hey loves; I really can't believe that Christmas is LITERALLY round the corner. This month has literally whizzed past me & I have been so busy that I am actually looking forward to the break to get some rest cos I NEED it.

Today I wanted to just speak about my Christmas plans & traditions & I hope it can be interactive & everyone can also comment what they are doing.

Christmas is an awesome time & it's the birth of Jesus so I always get giddy, It's also the Season for giving & spending time with the family which I love.

Christmas usually comes when the year is over giving me time to reflect on the year & recharge for the following year; who else does a look back over the year?

I am also BOUND to gain weight over Christmas as we know; there ain't no diet BIHHH! I love to enjoy my hearty Christmas dinners without feeling guilty & then becoming part of the couch because I literally can't move for hours. Just. Too. Full.

The amounts of chocolates I consume every Christmas period is .......Uncountable!

My house is always full at Christmas with family & friends & the environment is just so beautiful, exchanging gifts, eating, chatting & just spending time with each other in laughter & multiple food comas.

I always want to glam up every Christmas but I never do because my mum will be ordering me up & down to help her cook AND I wanna be comfy AND wear clothes that allow me to EAT FREELY.

One of the worst things in life is wearing tight clothes when trying to pig out :(

These PJs are so comfy & just heaven sent ! They keep me warm & are very spacious; I have had PJs in the past that have been restrictive but these are far from, espescially at night cos I move a lot in my sleep!

They will be my Christmas outfit this year & I can't wait to slip into them Christmas Eve & to be honest these will be worn by me all winter season till Spring/Summer.

This Christmas we are having a twist of events; Christmas day will be as usual but in the evening, my Church has organised a Christmas dinner so we shall be going to that & I am part of the youth Nativity play!

I am playing a very happy ecstatic friend/bridesmaid of Virgin Mary (we modernised it) LOL. Am looking forward to it.

Pyjamas ~ Fat Face* // In-house Slippers ~ Fat Face* // White Cushion ~ Wilkos // Glasses ~ H&M

Before I bid you goodnight (its after 11pm), let's just look at these in-house sheepskin slippers OMGOSH! They are sooo comfy & so warm; I am the coldest person in this world, I have a water bottle on my lap right now.

These keep my toes warm and DUPE ALERT; I have always wanted the UGG slippers and these are soooo much more affordable and these cover your full leg whereas the UGG don't fully cover.

These in house slippers are also an awesome GIFT idea if you are running out of ideas and time, along with the PJs; have a looksie here.

Anyways, what are you up to this Christmas?

Let us know hun!

Merry Christmas my loves & a very Happy New Year!

Christmas Gift Guide Ideas For Her (Skincare, Bodycare & Makeup) ♥ ♥ ♥

2015-12-05T17:48:00.002-08:00

It's that time of the year again, Christmas! Christmas is my favourite holiday because it's the birth of my Lord Jesus. I also love Christmas because it's awesome to spend time with family & friends.

Another aspect I love about Christmas is gift giving! I love giving & receiving gifts but sometimes it's hard to find what type of gift to give.

This is a Christmas Gift Guide for Her so for if you are stuck with ideas for your friend, girlfriend, cousin, sister or even Mum, here are some affordable ideas ranging from £15 - £50!

1. Soap & Glory the wheel deal which contains 6 of the Soap & Glory most popular body care; it includes scrubs, polishes & body butter. The Righteous Butter is my fave!

2, The Charlotte Tilbury mini lipstick trio ~ I am such a big fan of Charlotte Tilbury & if you want to give someone with some of their lucurious goodies without breaking the bank, this lipstick trio is amazing. I have one of their lipsticks (Glastonbury) & the tecture & consistency is amazing.

3. Kiehls has really good skincare and if you're fried/sis/wife/mum is a skincare addict then she will love this; it has the very popular Midnight recover concentrate.

4. The Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm is one of those skincare products that a lot of beauty bloggers rave about; I do own it & i must say the hype is real. You can gift this luxurious cleanser & trust me you'll be the best ever.

5. Murad is a brand I will love to try & gifting a gift/set is the best way for someone to get acquainted to a new brand. This is the blemish control kit but there are other kits in their range too.

6 &7. These are both Origins gift sets. I love Origins bodycare & skincare. The body care set has 4 of their famous souffles & the skincare is a dream.

8. Everyone loves a bit of Bobbi Brown & this lip set is so adorable; it can be the Kylie Jenner lip colour for fairer complexions & a perfect nude for darker complexions.

9. Everyone that is a makeup lover is excited about the New Urban Decay palette so this will be an awesome gift.

10. Smashbox always has amazing holiday sets & these lip lacquers are availlable to buy as single to add to a gift or a stocking or more to have as a set.

11. Stila always do it bigger & better with their palettes and this 'Trust in Love' palette is awesome; it comes with a mascara & a lip glaze too.

12. Last but not least, the beauty blender micro mini duo are so cute & adorable & will cause an 'awwwww' to anyone who opens it; it will be perfect for concealing under the eye & small areas on the face,

I hope that these ideas were helpful & the price ranges were quite a good range.

Also if you want tp gift me with any of these, I would not reject it lol

It's almost Christmas and I can't believe it but I am so excited. Wishing you all a lovely week & speak soon.

My heels are Public Desire & I love how they look but oh boy are they very uncomfortable; pain level 4.5/5, honestly the way the shoes are created your feet don't stand straight so after an hour you are dying; I wore these out & I suffered lol. But they look cute though.

Must Have Liquid Lipstick ~ KatVonD Liquid Lipstick ♥

2015-11-23T14:52:00.000-08:00

Hey loves; hope you're all well & enjoying the week so far! Today I am bringing you an updated swatch & review of the KatVonD liquid lipsticks.

I already raved about them here but then I only had 1 colour, I however managed to grab 2 other colours I was lusting after & now they have extended it to more shades & I want more. There are 28 shades in total. Sigh.

So I picked up Lolita & Vampira in addition to LUV that I already had.

Lolita is described as a chestnut rose & it looks like the perfect nude on me here. On lighter skintones it looks like the 'Kylie Jenner' lip colour.

I wore it here with a brown lip liner to line my lips.

LUV is described as a rich violet & here I wore it with a deep purple lipliner; MAC Vino.

I love this colour.

Vampira is described as a deep reddish burgundy & I absolutely love this colour. I wasn't sure about it before because of the rusty look but I discovered that I love how it looks. This is perfect look for Autumn/Winter.

As stated before the consistency is very creamy & I have grown to love it more. It glides on ever so nicely & does not dry out your lips as certain liquid lipsticks do.

It stays on for long periods of time, I lick my lips a lot I have noticed so I usually have to reapply in the middle but other than that, I love love love the formula!

I have also done a quick video on instagram (@afeeyah) showing how it goes on smoothly & how it looks.

Get the KatVonD liquid lipsticks here! Sephora now hips to the UK & most of Europe.

Here are the other products on my face:

Foundation (Mac Prolongwear)

Concealers (MakeupForeverHd in 18 & Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Amande)

Eyebrowns (Anastasia Beverley Hills Pomade)

Contour (Covergirl Ebony Bronzer & Sleek Face Form in Medium)

Sleek blush Flushed

Eyes (Mac All that glitters on the lid & ABH eyeshadows)

What's your favourite colour?

Do you have any KatVonD liquid lipsticks?

Palazzo Trousers ~ Pretty Little Thing (here ON SALE), similar, similar // Top ~ Missguided (can't find link sorry, will keep looking) // Heels ~ Primark (similar )

Hey my babes, how are you all doing? Missed you! It's been a week since I posted & am really sorry about that, last week was awful, I was so ill but still had to work so I was exhausted whenever I got home. Thankfully I am fine. Just wanted to share with you with Sicily outfit; I got this top from Missguided about a year ago & didn't know how to rock it. I figured it out. I paired it with my palazzo pants (see how I styled them here & follow babes) which are fast becoming one of my fave items of clothing.

I love how it's comfortable to wear but you can very easily dress it up or down. My heels are Primark & pain level is 0-1. These are my ride or die heels, unfortunately I got them 2 years ish ago, they last me a full night of dancing, I wish I had got more to last me a lifetime tbh.

Hi loves; yep it's startinng to get cold & I still have a couple of my Sicily posts to share & then we can get on with the Autumn/Winter outfits.

Missguided Wishlist Fall/Autumn 2015 ♥♥

2015-10-27T15:35:00.000-07:00

Hey dolls; omygosh its Fall/Autumn time and the only thing I like about the change in weather (I hate the cold) is the fall outfits & makeup.

I have been lusting on Misguided as usual; they have really fashionable clothes and I want everything. so this month, here are a few things I have been adding to the cart, well 6 to be precise.

1. This coat is just everything, I saw it on Esther's loobkook & I have had my eyes on it ever since. Buy it here.

2. I love tops that are casual but have a little twist to it & this back slit caught my eye. Buy it here.

3. OMG! Knee high boots, Last year they were so trendy and I have had my eye on a few. The Stuart Weisman one is the top one on my list followed by this LK Bennett one & this Dune one but they are a tad expensive, so am glad Missguided had a cheaper version. YASSS! Buy it here.

4. Another coat; this is giving me Olivia Pope realness; if you watch Scandal then you know what I mean, I would love to get my hands on this number. Buy it here.

5. The only reason I was drawn to this top is because I saw Patricia wearing something similar here. I love that its sheer but it's not too revealing and I loved the way Patricia wore it. Buy it here.

6. I have been loving the lace trends that are out espescially if you seen this fashion post of mine, but I have been seeing these tops & was worried about the boobabge situation but this lools not over the top, I thought this will be nice paired with a high waisted skirt (either pencil or skater), excited for the possibilties. Buy it here.

These are a few of my wants, what have you been eyeing recently?

Let me know down below.

Speak to you soon my loves,

Laced Up with A Pop Of Red ♥♥

2015-10-23T17:16:00.005-07:00

Dress ~ Missguided // Heels ~ Zara (similar) // Clutch ~ Lamoda // Sunglasses ~ Sunglass Spot

Hi dolls, hope you're all doing awesome. I bought this dress last year from Missguided but I never wore it, however I waas able to take it out for a spin in Sicily last month. I love that lace is back on trend & I decided to have a pop of red. I love these heels from Zara, they are quite affordable and to be fair, they are quite comfy (pain level 1/5), I think I will start talking about the pain levels of heels because most heels look comfy but end up being very uncomfortable, Tell me if you like that idea.

Anyways hope you liked this outfit, will try & get the rest of my Sicily outfits up so I can start getting into autumn looks!

What's your fave item?

Review ~ Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Foundation ♥♥

2015-10-13T15:17:00.001-07:00

Hey dolls; it's Foundation Review time! I feel like foundation reviews are my favourite cos I am a foundation lover and having a good foundation is a blessing.

I have already raved about this on Instagram (@afeeyah, make sure you are following babes) so you know it's good if I couldn't wait to rave about it.

Ok let's start with the name; this is the Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless foundation. I had to get this from America as we don't have access to this beauty over here in the UK unfortunately.

So this foundation goes on smoothly and applies really well; it also looks flawless. It has medium - full coverage; you can also build it up to a full coverage if you want. I like the medium coverage asI highlight and contour anyways.

This is a matte foundation as it states by the name and if you are a combination-oily gal like me then you are in luck. This lasts up to 6hours without me blotting and touching up which is awesome.

Although it's a matte foundation, I ALWAYS prime and set.

I prime with my Kiko Matt Base primer & set the foundation with my Make Up Forever Duo Matte Powder.

Packaging ~ 4/5 (no pump)

Price ~ 6/5 (super cheap!)

Product ~ (4/5)

Overall ~ 5/5!

The only downside is that the colour I have on is the darkest '____' (cmon Maybelline do better)

so there are no darker shades am afraid. My shade is 355 coconut & you are a Mac NW45, Matchmaster 8.0-9, Makeup For Ever Hd 178 then this will be your colour.

This foundation is also poreless so minimises the pores; so it's not visible giving you a flawless look.

I have been loving applying this foundation with my real techniques Expert face brush & I love the look it gives. This foundation looks awesome in pictures. I am rocking it here, here & here.

This foundation is comparable to my high end foundations like the Mac Matchmaster but at a cheaper price.

This is easily found in the drugstores for all my american & canadian beauties but everywhere else I have 2 links I found on amazon & eBay to help you get a hold of this.

Amazon ~ here

eBay ~ here

I heard about this from a few beauties on youtube & here are some reviews of the foundation.

Jackie Aina ~ here

GlamTwins ~ here

Have you tried this foundation before?

How do you feel about cheaper foundations? Let's talk about it down below!

Talk soon babes,

Double Trouble in Sicily ♥

2015-10-08T15:17:00.000-07:00

Dress ~ Babes&Felines // Heels ~ Office Shoes(buy here, now on SALE or here) // Clutch ~ Next

Hey babes, hope you're all doing great. I was on holiday in Italy about 2 weeks ago to catch the last bit of sun left; if you follow me on Instagram (@afeeyah) you will have seen me GETTING MY LIFE with the sun YASSSS & SLAYING it out there.

I got this 'Double trouble' dress from Babes And Felines which is an american online shop; I follow them on Instagram & I always loved their pieces so I took the plunge & ordered from them.

I must say this dress fits like a glove & I was really worried about my belly but thank God it wasn't too obvious.

I wore this to dinner one night and you can see my tam here, I must say I enjoyed my chocolate skin soaking the sun & getting darker but it faded so quickly '___'
BTW the makeup details for this natural glam are up now up on my instagram (@afeeyah), see you there :)

Do you like this dress? What's your fave item of this outfit?

Let me know below.

Peplum & Neutrals ♥

2015-09-28T02:16:00.000-07:00

Jeans ~ Zara // Peplum Top ~ H&M // Heels ~ French Connection // Bag ~ Asos

Hey loves, how are you all? Hope you're doing good. Just got back home from a holiday in Sicily, Italy and I am still recovering. If you follow me on Snapchat (@afeeyahx) & Instagram (@afeeyah) you can see holiday snaps & BTS. Sigh the weather back there was so lush.

Anyways I was in Liverpool for my girl's birthday weekend and we spend some time at the Quays. This is what I wore and I wanted to keep it really casual. I love the way peplum always hides my belly pouch & gives a nice shape. I got the block heels from French Connection & they are so comfy espescially for getting around. I love the look of heels but I don't like the pain but this pair is very practical.

I am sad that summer is gone but I am excited for Fall/Autumn makeup & covering up.

What have you been up to? I miss y'all.

Festival Makeup ♥♥♥

2015-08-05T14:58:00.003-07:00

Hey loves; it's Festival Season! There have been so many festivals and I am planning on going to a local one possibly before the end of summer; and you know with being in the UK, summer is almost over :(

I love doing my makeup for occasions all the time and suprise suprise I love Festival makeup too, you can go bold and get away with it.

Today's post is in collaboration with House of Fraser to get the perfect Festival makeup and how to. Let's get started!

*resting b*tch face on FLEEK*

Now festivals are an all day type thing and sometimes it rains so you need your makeup to last ALL day. Let's start with the eyes.

1. I used the Urban Decay eye primer potion* to prime my eyelids to keep the eyshadow on ALL day.

2. I then followed with some brown shadows for my crease (caramel & sierra by Anastasia Beverley Hills - ABH) and the gold colour was from Charlotte Tillbury's dolce vita palette.

3. Eyeliner is Wet n Wild eyeliner and lashes are Vegas Nay 'Grand Glamour'. P.s. just use a white eyeliner to do the dots. I was tempted to go overboard with the white dots but I was like nah girl, chill!

Face

1. I primed with Kiko Mat base primer, if you're oily this should be your best friend. If you're not oily try getting a normal primer as primers are really helpful in giving you long lasting makeup.

2. This foundation from Mac is possibly the star of the show; it is the Prolong wear waterproof foundation * and guess what, it's actually waterproof; I had a smudge on my hand and after a long day of washing my hands, doing dishes and all the rest, the smudge was still there. (I will do a proper review soon). Btw am in NW50.

3. Highlight and conceal with Nars Almande & LA Girl pro conceal in Fawn. You can use a shade or 2 lighter than yourself to draw light to the highlighted areas.

4. Contour with Kiko foundation stick & Covergirl Ebony bronzer. You can use a bronzer, I love the bronzed look and it makes me look slimmer so #winning!

That highlight though girl!

I used the MUA unwhipped Velvet bronze in Majestic; its a lovely highlight on me and added the Kiko 208 eyeshadow as a highlighter.

That blush though!!! This is Mac Breath of Plum* and it is such a beautiful colour that gives me some rosyness on the old cheeks :) . And finally the Lips are Leather by Colourpop cosmetics; a similar colour is Mac Heroine lipstick or for a lovely nude lipgloss; I have been loving Mac Spice lipglass, will have to do a post with it.

So thankful with the lovely people at House of Fraser for sending me some makeup to play in and test out for you guys.

I also got braids for the summer and am loving styling them.

If you are follow me on Insta (@afeeyah), I tagged my stylist and if you live around west yorkshire or don't mind travelling she's the girl for you.

I hope you enjoyed this makeup and please give me requests for what you want to see next.

Please follow on insta as well (@afeeyah). am always on there and we can hang out, also am thinking on an insta giveaway soon.

Speak soon & let me know what you think of this makeup below.

Lots of love, Afeeyah xo

Review ~ MyVitamins ♥♥

2015-07-30T15:14:00.000-07:00

Hey loves; hope you are all doing good and enjoying the summer. It's been a pretty hectic couple of weeks and I have been meaning to talk about some new loves of my life.

YES I have been LOVING vitamins and NO am not crazy.

I started taking vitamins since last winter; this is because I am that girl that always catches a cold before everyone else and even in the summer my hayfever is real bad *rolls eyes*

So I decided enough is enough and went to Holland & Barrets and got Vitamin C tablets.

I also got Multivitamins and Codliver oil from Wilkinsons and I was using them daily (obvi some days I forget).

I recently started trying the Myvitamins Total Acai Berry & True Woman (Hair, Skin & Nails) vitamins.

Now I have always heard about acai berry and it has numerous benefits; it is a superfood and it is a very powerful antioxidant and that just means it helps you not to get sick easily. People use acai berry in the paste form as part of 'yoghurts' and stuff like that but in a pill form its easier and more convenient for someone who is always on the move. Each vitamin contains 3000mg of acai berry.

Acai berry (buy here)*

At the back of each pack is the full information so you are fully informed and educated. It also tells you how many to take and all that. A pack of 60 is £5.49.

I particularly felt how good this worked over the past week as the office had to close cos there was a widespread bug and a lot of people were throwing up and stuff. Although I did get weak and run down I didn't get to the throwing up stage and if it had been a few months ago am sure I would have been one of the first *sigh* so I was really pleased.

Hair, Skin & Nails (buy here)*

Moving on to the Hair, skin & Nails vitamins; these are everywhere now but I love to get extra help wherever I can. It's not easy remembering to always look after your hair, skin and nails. I can deffo see a difference in my nails; I took my acrylic nails off in June and my nails were breaking badly and after taking these for about 2-4 weeks they are not breaking anymore and have been a lot stringer and if you have ever had acrylics you know how they mess up your nails and sometimes they take up to 6months to heal so this is a real good test of how great these vitamins are.

Haven't seen much of a difference with my hair and skin as at yet.

A pack of 60 is £7.49.

I must say I really enjoyed these vitamins and I recommend everyone to add vitamins to your daily intake as it id hardly possible to physically take in ALL the vitamins you need daily and I also spoke to my nurse and doctor about the vitamins and they were PRO vitamins but they said you shouldn't fully rely on them; have a healthy lifestyle too.

Myvitamins has so many vitamins that it is suitable for everyone so deffo have a look and let me know down below what vitamins you use and which new ones you would like to try out from the myvitamins range.

Talk to you soon loves.

Marrakech Style Diary ~ A Jumpsuit Love Affair ♥

2015-07-19T15:08:00.001-07:00

Hey loves, I come again with pictures from my time in Marrakech; this was the day we visited the YSL garden also known as Jardin Majorelle (more pictures to come). It was such a beautiful place and if you ever go to Marrakech; it's a MUST SEE! I enjoyed myself thoroughly and I also think this was my favourite outfit of the trip. I discovered this gorgeous jumpsuit in Topshop and am I glad I picked it up, it is very flattering and was a light material so I wasn't too hot it it. I love thr tribal feel it gives with the black & white pattern and the monochromatic look.

I cinched it in the waist with a belt and wore this lovely kimono to bring it all in.

Hope you love this outfit as much as I did.

Have a lovely week and don't forget to find me on Instagram and Twitter (@afeeyah).

Lots of love,

Review ~ Afternoon Tea at Betty's Tea Room ♥♥

2015-07-15T14:13:00.002-07:00

Hi loves hope you're all doing great. Today I am coming to you with the last part of my birthday celebrations. As I said previously we went to Betty's Tea Room for Afternoon Tea. Now if you know anything about us british people we LOVE our tea so it was a lovely treat and I reccommend EVERYONE to go try afternoon tea; it's so blissful.

The menu was just so gorgeous and we spent hours deciding on what to get and settled for the above. Everything tasted amazing and I like to think I make the best soups BUT I stand corrected; that soup was heavenly!!

We also got 2 scones to share and at this point we were too full but because we are FAT B**CHES we kept on eating lol.

All in all Betty's was amazing and I can't wait to go back! Harrogate am coming for you; p.s. there was also a big Space NK shop that I wanted to visit but after all our shenanigans on our way back, the shop was closed so I have to rendevue with Space NK.

Have you ever had afternoon tea?

What are your best places to go for afternoon tea?

Speak soon loves,

Afeeyah xo
