Mixtape Mondays #5

Hey dolls its that 2 steppin time again........

Cody Chesnutt- Till I met thee. You know when you just want some of that old school R&B and neo soul? Yeah he is your guy. I saw him on the Jools Holland show and I loved the live performance of the song.

 Gabrielle Aplin- Power of love. Covering Frankie goes to Hollywood for The John Lewis Christmas advert her ethereal tones makes it really memorable. Having been around on Youtube etc for the last few years, it is rumoured she tweeted John Lewis into submission regarding her doing a song for them and after a while an agency got it touch with her. Goes to show the power of social media and slight stalking....lol

Kyra ft Cashtastic- Good love. It is very nice to see some good UK talent and yup all them faces that look familiar are lol

Solange- Losing you. I usually yawn at her attempts but I freaking love this song and loved it more when I saw the video. Filmed in South Africa the idea seems to me to be about capturing a glimpse of humanity against a back drop of adversity. The scenes really brought those people to life. For anyone who knows their music you will see it was heavily influenced by elements of Janet Jackson's got til its gone video.

P.s this video seems a bit slower than the audio.

Wonder ft Emeli Sandé- Wonder. Seriously one of my favourite songs this year. I am big fan of  them both and I just freaking love this song. Everyone who knows me knows me knows I have had it on replay for ages. Who doesn't like a beautiful message, extras who look like they stepped out of a Benetton ad and purple Icelandic woods?

Until next time........

Beauty Edit:October Favourites

1.      Wilko facial wipes 30p- Ok so I freaking loooooooooove these face wipes they are fragrance free and super moisturising not to mention cheap as chips. I found these by accident when I picked up a pack by mistake about 4 years ago and I haven't looked back. I buy them in bulk and use them for everything. Let me reiterate they are 30 PENCE; you can’t even get a chocolate bar for 30p in London these days. For that amount you get 25 wipes packed full of vitamin E that are fragrance free and cleanse the skin brilliantly. I use these on my face but am transitioning to a balm cleanser. 

2.      Bodyshop bath gloves £4- These are a must have essential item for your bathroom beauty routine. They have just the right amount hardness and don't grate or irritate the skin. I use mine 3 times a week and you can really see the difference they make. I change mine every 3 months and ensure they are hung up to dry when I finish using them. P.S if you haven't used exfoliation gloves before don't be freaked out by the slightly dirty looking water that's just dead skin lol.

3.      Skinology Tea tree anti- spot stick 8ml 0.98p - Looks like its a Wilkinson love fest but their products are very good value and really perform. This is a roll on gel liquid that really helps with swelling and spot reduction. On me this helps with potential marking and ensures that my skin is smooth and I can see results usually within a day or two. As it has a roller to distribute the gel I would suggest doing your usual cleansing routine before applying and don't share it with anyone else to limit the amount of foreign bodies it comes into contact with.

4.      Simple hydrating light moisturiser 125ml £2.99- As awesome as this moisturiser is I don't use it often as I should. It is incredible and really seems to sink down into the skin this is a must have for winter. There is no fragrance, colour or unnecessary ingredients and it is just choka block full of good things for your skin. It is dermatologically tested and approved with Pro-Vitamin B5, Vitamin E, Glycerin and Borage Seed Oil to keep the skin moisturised and deeply hydrated. A MUST have for those with sensitive skin.

Beauty Edit:September Favourites

Hey dolls, So I have decided to do a segment where I show you a few of my monthly favourites. Things that I have been using with success or have discovered and have fallen in love with.

Ok lets get started........

1.      Tea tree daily use facial cleansing scrub. This is an amazing, AMAZING, did I say amazing product? I really do love it. This stuff makes my skin feel absolutely great. It isn't harsh or drying. It has small micro beads that are not abrasive to the skin and is very light with no residue after. I use this about 3 times a week and it has really made a difference. I apply this to my face with a Muji face brush for deep cleansing at least once a week. The brush retails for £3.95 and the cleanser can be found in poundland or eBay. This is a really awesome product/ combo and a definite must buy. For these prices you wont regret it. For those with Clarisonic , I have heard good reviews regarding the face cleanser.

2.      The Body shop Hemp Hand Protector is seriously awesome. I rediscovered it in February on my birthday actually and I have been hooked ever since. I remember back in the day they had a similar one that stank a lot and my mum would power through it because hemp was good for you. This is sooo much better. It has a slight  hempy scent but the quality of this cream is great. It is super creamy and leaves my hands silky smooth and hydrated for hours. I use this in the morning and night as part of a routine I have created for myself. It is very long lasting and I am just about to open my second tube of the year. This retails for £10 and is worth every penny. If this seems expensive to you I would suggest taking advantage of peak sale season times such as Christmas to stock up as this shop does great reductions.

3.      The sun tropic Cocoa skin therapy oil is one of my new favourite things to moisturise with. This really locks in moisture and leaves your skin looking and feeling gorgeous. It smells really nice and a little really does go a long way. I haven't used it on my face but it sold as a total body advanced specialist skin care product. There has been a lot of hype about this product and I have to say it is utter brilliant. It contains vitamin E and pure cocoa butter, no preservatives and has been  formulated using active ingredients to help reduce the appearance of damaged skin.

4.  Australian Body care Argan cream with vitamin E is soooo nourishing. It is heavily scented which I really don't like BUT the benefits out weight my personal preference for non scented creams. The scent is incredibly floral but it really rehydrates my skin and keeps my face feeling supple. I use this as a night cream and i really must stress that only a small amount is needed as it is kind of heavy. My friend mixes primer into hers and it works perfectly.This can retail for £1-6 depending on where you buy it, so buy in bulk if you like it and can find it cheaply.

well that's my beauty skin care favourites for September. It seems to be a poundland extravaganza this month but if you have one near you simply raid! there is nothing better than finding well known and much loved brands for £1 a mere fraction of their original price. Love it.

Until next time..........

Well hello there blog world!

After several years of hmmming and harring about starting a blog I have finally taken the plunge and dived right in! I have followed several bloggers of different genres for ages now and whilst I love seeing other peoples’ ideas I think it is time to get my own out there.

So without further ado lets get this show on the road! My name is Stephanie and I am a 24 year old Londoner born and bred. I have a love for all things fashion, beauty and entertainment based. I also have a deep and unquenchable need to know random things so my fixation with books has become an obsession. Like many other fashionistas I class my shopping exhibitions as a serious hobby and you can find me scouring Camden and Portobello for vintage finds with the same enthusiasm as I would a designer shop.
