Vegas Volt by MAC Product Review
Feeling like I need to inject
more colour into my makeup pallet I decided to try out Vegas Volt
Described by MAC as:
"Full power coral (Amplified Creme)"
In the tube I like this orange-coral
shade with rich, intense colour however I don’t think it does much for my
complexion.
However I do find the lipstick very
moisturising and requires only a couple applications for full coverage.
I would recommend a lip pencil to
make sure the lines are sharp and neat.
What do you guys think does it
suite me?
Have you tried this shade?
How did you find it?
Viva Glam V by Mac Lipstick Review
Another MAC gem I forgot about ...................... I bought Viva Glam V to wear on my birthday and got a
little scare when the
sales staff in MAC Covent garden rang a bell
and then everybody cheered!
and then everybody cheered!
Described on the MAC website as:
In March 2004, Viva Glam V makes its debut, a pure neutral pink with a delicious Lustre finish! Every cent of the selling price of VIVA GLAM Lipstick and Lipglass is donated to the M·A·C AIDS Fund to support men, women, and children living with HIV and AIDS.

| with flash Viva Glam V is a lovely nude colour with a subtle hint of gold glitter which is lovely for every day or night time if you were to go with a dramatic eye and didn’t what to do too much with the lips. |

| Swatch on my hand |
It goes on well and left my lips feeling moisturized without feeling sticky and didn’t require too many applications.
Viva Glam V is available
for purchase at MAC Cosmetics
Its also nice to know that my makeup
obsession is helping a good cause

ORS #Hairvolution Event Review
I
hobbled sown to the event after a day in killer heels at the Vogue Festival feeling self-conscious about my bowling skills but ended up having a fantastic
time.
 |
| Looking sexy in the bowling shoes my feet were very thankful |
There
was great food and cocktails
 |
| Scalp scrub making station |
 |
| ORS Brand Ambassadors |
I made my own hair scrub, met some lovely fellow
bloggers and the glamorous ORS ambassadors.
 |
| Our private bowling lanes |
I
even did better than I anticipated in the bowling competition (even though I didn’t
win).
 |
| I didn't have the lowest bowling score |
I
have been using products from ORS for years now and I’m ashamed to say that
they are such a staple in my hair routine that it never even occurred to me to
blog about them
What
is the The ORS™ Straightening & Strengthening Treatment by HAIRepair™ ?
The ORS™
Straightening & Strengthening Treatment by HAIRepair™ is designed to
strengthen and smooth the cuticle helping you achieve more manageable hair with
impeccable body and shine. With the help from thermal irons, our system helps
to create a protective shield that locks in moisture and guards against
humidity. Enriched with natural ingredients like coconut extract, aloe vera and
wheat protein, our 360° styling formula allows your natural curls to return
with just one shampoo, helping you to achieve the versatile styling options you
desire!

Step 1: Prepare
hair with the Clarifying Shampoo.
Step 2: Treat &
Protect with the Foam Activator and Smooth & Seal Leave-in Conditioner.
Step 3: Seal &
Smooth with your blow dryer and flat iron
The Straightening
&
Strengthening Treatment really appealed to me as I have been stretching
out my relaxers and have recently been considering going natural but I didn’t want
to be constricted to one style but at the same time was slightly concerned as I
have been avoiding putting heat on my hair.
At the end of the night all of the attendees were given goodie bags containing the Straightening & Strengthening Treatment and some other hair repair goodies
I will defiantly try this out when I take down my braids.
ORS
Straightening and strengthening Treatment is available in your local hair shop
Apologies about my photos I wanted to look all snazzy at the Vogue
Festival and my phone battery was completely dead and my small Samsung camera
obviously didn’t handle the job :(
Vogue Festival Day One
This weekend
I was gifted tickets to the Vogue festival from a new friend
Whoopee
I had heard of
the Vogue festival but was on holiday during the last one L
Early on the
Saturday morning I made my way down to South Bank not quite knowing what to
expect but very excited for a jam packed day of fashion!
I had
tickets to the following panel discussion
Personal
Style and do you have it
The power of
two in fashion
The Philo
factor reinventing cool
My fashion
life
Valentino
King of Glamour
When I got
to the Elizabeth hall at the Southbank I was greeted doormen dressed in the
green Harrods uniform and ushered through to foyer, unfortunately I was late
for Personal Style and do you have it panel discussion and was not allowed to
enter so instead I checked out the 1st floor foyer.
I was a bit underwhelmed
with the turn out as the foyer seemed very empty forgetting that it was around
10.45 on a Saturday morning . I took the opportunity to check out the gift shop
where I chose a Vogue sweatshirt and a magazine subscription but ….damn credit card reader is not working! I then had
to quickly run to the nearest cash point machine in my heels J and come back to
pay.
 |
| Delish |
As well as
the gift shop there was:
Makers overs
being offered by Burberry
Hairstyling by Kérastase
The Vogue
Monogram Manicures with OPI
Show &
Tell: bring your design to Vogue and get personal feedback
The Vogue
Café
Book
signings by this year's speakers
Harrods
Re-Charge Lounge and Juice Bar
Vogue
fashion editors giving styling demonstrations
I wish I got
a makeover when I first got there but was happy I had already picked up my Vogue
goodies because it felt like I blinked then the foyer was absolutely packed!
I got to see
a talk about how to wear a white shirt
which was quite good before going down
stairs to have a Vogue cover shoot with Chanel make-up and accessories. I chose
a black and grey tweed jacket and the perfume bottle clutch and struck pose
cheese!

I then
wanted to watch other attendees strut their stuff on the catwalk but one of the
members of staff tried to get me to go on the catwalk which scared me off (Yes I
am a wimp)
 |
| Crowds |
 |
| Waiting patently for the My Fashion Life Panel Discussion to start |
 |
| My Fashion Life discussion |
 |
 |
| Angela Missoni My Fashion Life |
 |
| Tory Birch My Fashion Life |
 |
| Manolo blahnik My Fashion Life |
The my only criticisms for the day was credit card readers were not working and there was not enough places to sit down and wait between the panel discussion my poor feet were killing me by the end of the day but I couldn’t not wear heels … its Vogue darling
Did you get down to the Vogue Festival?
How did you find it?
Please excuse my picture quality I wanted to carry my cute fringe clutch which of course wouldn’t accommodate my SLR camera or my iPad, of course my iPhone battery died and my cute pink little Samsung camera was just not up to the job L
