Liz Earle skin care review

Hey guys...

This review is based on my skin type which normal/ combination. However I have very sensitive skin so I have to be very careful with the products I use. This is why most of my products be it skincare or make up it's bit more pricey. Otherwise I either break out or get a rash. Which is kinda crap but such is life. 

So I was trying a new moisturiser because it was cheaper and thought it would would work. I had bought one from Boots because I was about to run out and wanted to try something else which was a mistake. I'm sure it works for other people just not my skin. So keep reading and I'll go through how I use these products by Liz Earle which I have been using for a while.

Above I have my cleanse and polish (£13.25) with a muslin cloth (£4.25). 
I tend to use this in the evening so that I get rid of all the make-up I may have had along with the dirt collected throughout the day. This really leaves my skin clean. If I had been wearing a full face of make-up, I will do a double cleanse using my Lush cosmetics cleanser (Fresh Farmacy 100g £4.75) first then my Cleanse and Polish.

Above I have Instant Boost Skin Tonic (£13.25).
This is basically a toner which I use morning and night after I have washed my face. By the way this smells Awwwesome!! :)

Above is a Skin Repair Moisturiser for Normal/Combination Skin (19.25).
I mostly use this in the morning after my toner but if I'm going somewhere then I'll use it before my make up. Otherwise if I'm not going out I will use a serum from Lush Cosmetics (Full of Grace 80g £8.25 ) and some bio oil for my marks.  

So the first time I purchase these products there was a deal on where I got them all for £43. this included the cleanser, toner, moisturiser and 2 muslin cloths and a complementary eye cream. 
This time round it was cheaper for me to buy this other package deal with all the skincare, hand cream and two nail polishes. All of this above was £43 which is a bargain. This is a December offer. Also love they packing and the way they rap it after you bought it. 

Hand Repair Cream (£15.75)
This was the first time trying this and it's amazing. Especially now that it's winter and I tend to wash my hands a lot which can leave them dry.  Also it smells so good and relaxing.

Nail Polishes which are £7.50 each. 
I haven't had the chance to try them yet because of work. I'm not allowed to Boo :( but as soon I try them i'll post it up.

All of the products smell Awwwwwsome and they not harsh on my sensitive skin yay. I would totally recommend this brand if you have sensitive skin. They have products for other skin types as well. 

Oh by the way this is so not a sponsored post I have been using this for a while and works well. 

Hope you're all enjoying the festive season and that you liked my post. 

Love Sultaana :)

Hair style review

Hello everyone. 

So I got my hair braided with box-braids on the 16th September for a month. I loved the colour that I picked. Which matched the bottom ends of my hair. 

The braids and the colour suited my face however they were to thick on my hair. 

My hair is thin so it would have been better if they where thinner which I asked for but she was worried about time. With the price I paid they didn't last long cause of weighing down my actual hair because of the thickest. 

I have naturally curly hair but not Afro where it's kinky and thick with growth. It's more like Asian hair.

I'm not saying it was a bad job just that maybe they are not familiar with my hair type for box braids. 

I got my hair done in Leeds market and paid £70

Bought the expressions from hair city in Leeds colour number 30. It was £1.99 a pack and I used 2. 

In the picture above you can see how thin my hair is with the space on my scalp. I love the braids and the colour and so did everyone that saw me. But they might have lasted longer if they were thinner. 

In this one above you can see my hair has grown so my scalp is not as noticeable and the picture above. 

I would get them done again cause them easy for this cold winter. My hair won't be dry or be fizzy with the cold wind.

Modelling shoot

Hey..

So this post is all about a professional photo shoot that I paid for 2 years ago in Manchester . 

I was  referred by a friend so the make-up and hair and shoot was free. Only paid for the photos and a few items of make-up and hair products I liked.

I brought in all the clothes and accessories I wore.

What I'm wearing above:

Purple vest top - Primark

Leopard sheer top - Next outlet

Blue skinny jeans - Gap outlet 

Leopard peep toes - Primark sale

Tan plaited belt - oasis

Gold bangle - Primark

Brown shell earnings - Gift 

What I'm wearing above: 

Party dress: New Look sale

Leopard print peep toe: Primark

Leopard print clutch: Gift

The same above

The same above 

The same above

The same above

Demin strapless dress - Tiptop 

Fish net cut off gloves - Poundworld 

Record earrings - Primark

Black stone necklace - Flee Market 

Same as above 

Black high tops -international 

My nails were done before I went for the shoot. They were done in the Leeds Market. There was  special £25 acrylic nails.

I  will be honest getting professional photos done by an agency can be pricey so I would be careful in how many pictures you want. Also that they are for a special occasion for example family husband and wife or whatever you feel is special. The reason I say this because you only need a few pictures like 5 or 10. Also most agencies tend to have an instalment plan so you not paying it all at once. 

After that I'm not saying I regret paying for my photos. I don't at all and the number of photos I is 20 of an A4 size and 2 double that. 

There will be another post of a different shoot where I did my hair and make -up shortly after this. 

Love Sultaana :)

The make up look is a very simple day look with bronze eye look and a hint of purple in the crease. With a nude lipstick from Mac in Taupe.

All my make up I purchased from Boots and Harvey Nichols for my Mac. 

My hair was done by a African hairdresser in the Leeds Market named Josephine's with hair number 30. She charged me £70 which took about 4 hours.

Day off work outfit

So I have been working so much. I wear the same thing to work black work trousers and a black shirt. Today was my day off and I didn't let the rain or the fact that I had important things stop the fashion. 

So I'll show my makeup and hair, outfit and bag. 

In this pic I have my hair back in a high ponytail with a scarf in a bow from primark. I added some hair extensions to make my hair longer.

My big studs are silver Serling cause I react and they from accessozie.

My sliver necklace is personalised with my name. That is from Argos but the chain was changed from a jeweller in the market.

I used to foundations because my high end foundations are lighter for winter. So my lighter one is the estser laudaur double wear in honey bronze. The darker one is revlon photo ready in Carmel.

My eyeshows are from mac cork, expensive pink, coppering and rice paper as a highlight from my brow bone.
