Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette

Hey guys!

As you know, my exams start this week hence the lack of blogging recently. I have been deprived of my social life and just sit at home and revise all day for my A-levels. As soon as they are over I promise to blog more recently! I don't want to disappoint any of you because you've been amazing.

As most of you know, I discovered the amazing website Tmart.com through another blogger. I have already bought the Naked 2 palette by Urban Decay and reviewed it here if you wanted to have a look at what I think of it.

Little instagram collage :)

As you can see, the box is a little bit battered, but it looks 100% authentic.

The palette itself looks exactly like the real Naked 3 palette. Even the texture of the metal box is the same.

I know that neither of the pictures is great as they were taken on my phone, but here you can see the colours of the eyeshadows in this palette. They are very pigmented, just like the Naked 2 palette I bought from Tmart. You can buy the Naked 3 palette here, and the Naked 2 palette here.

Here is the back of the packaging. As you can see, it is a little bit torn in a few places, but hey ho, I only care about what's inside!! If you have any questions about this product then don't hesitate to ask me via comment or email :)

Lots of love,

Review || Las Iguanas Restaurant

Good Afternoon Beauties!

Today I decided to do another restaurant review as I have been out to quite a few in April :) I went to Las Iguanas which is a halal Mexican restaurant.

My first impression of the place was that it was quite cosy but didn't appear very Mexican to me. The music didn't suit either as it was all modern pop, which was quite disappointing actually as I expected it to be a traditional Mexican place. The food was average and the staff were very rude. They refused to give us discount with our student card as our party was too big and you're only allowed to used a student card for a table of 4. I will definitely never return to this place, even if someone paid for me to go. Overall experience - 2/10.

Happy hours, 2 for 1 on all cocktails ;)

Grilled chicken club sandwich with avocado sauce, with a side of sour cream and chive and a portion of curly fries. It was nice, but not worth the amount I paid for it.

Mmm, curly fries are my favourite! They were quite grease though and didn't have enough seasoning.

Here's a picture of the beautiful birthday girl Mariyam. She looked stunning in her midi velvet bodycon dress. The cake also adds glamour to this picture ;)

And what's a birthday without a birthday cake? Yummy yummy in my tummy!

Food Supplements for a Healthier You

Hi guys!

Today I wanted to talk about how important food supplements are. I have been taking vitamins for a good 2-3 years now, and I try not to forget to take them daily. Like many girls, I've been trying to grow my hair for a while now. I'm well known for bleaching and dying  my hair different colours, which has actually ruined my hair so badly that I had to have it short for around 3 years now. I stopped changing my hair colour non stop last year, and only get highlights done whenever I go to the hairdressers for a trim. It really is true what they say about having regular trims and hair growth. If you have your hair chopped every 6-8 weeks then it will grow faster as it will stop breaking off. I never believed it until I tried it. now I have regular trims and noticed a huge difference in my hair length to what it was like before I started having regular cuts.

I've read online that all fish oils have a great impact on hair growth, and speed the process up making your hair grow at least half an inch extra each month! The shopping had to be done.

As you can see, Omega 3 Fish Oil is really good for the heart's health, so faster hair growth isn't the only benefit form this supplement! 

Cod Liver Oil is apparently very good for skin, which is perfect from me as I suffer from combination skin which is dry in some places and oily in others. 

Of course, A-Z vitamins is the most important supplement you need, especially if you don't eat enough fruit and veg. The Tesco's own brand vitamins are actually very good, I've been taking them for a while now and I've noticed a huge difference in how I feel than when I had my other own brand A-Z.

If you have any questions then do not hesitate to comment or email me :)

Restaurant Review || Tamatanga

Good Morning Beauties!

Everyone loves food. But do we love it enough to selflessly criticise it? 

This was my very first experience at Tamatanga, and I must say I was quite impressed. The staff were really lovely and kept asking if we needed anything or if everything was okay. The menu card had an urban Indian pattern on it but it was also quite simple. The atmosphere at the restaurant was very cosy and middle-east like.

My favourite curry has to be Chicken Tikka Masala. It is the best mixture of sweet and spicy food. The meal was very filling and I could barely finish it, yet we didn't order any starters or sides.

There is nothing better than a Diet coke! Oh, and full fat coke for Kieran ;)

I will definitely return back to Tamatanga for another meal, as my experience there was fantastic.

Lots of love,

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette

Good Afternoon Beauties!

So, recently I discovered the amazing Tmart online shopping website and couldn't believe my own eyes over the deals that they have! I've previously read about Tmart on other blogs and thought 'hmm maybe I should try it!'. I wasn't too sure at first whether I could trust the site as it includes ridiculously low prices and the delivery is free?! But I was persuaded by all the amazing reviews I've read online.

I bought quite a few things, but this item was the first to arrive as the rest was shipped from around the world. As you can see below, this looks like the authentic naked 2 palette by Urban Decay which costs around £37. This palette cost me £5.20!!! I was just as shocked as you guys! 

This is the palette in the original box. It looks 100% authentic and nobody would know that this is a dupe. As you can see, the box is a little bit creased on the right hand side and has glue from the promotional code sticker on the front of it from where I tried to scrub it off!

Here is the palette taken out of the box. It has a dint in the top right corner but I'm not too bothered about it as it was so cheap, otherwise I would have sent it back and asked for a new one.

Here's a picture of the eyeshadows. Nearly all are the same shades as the real Naked 2 palette, besides a couple which are slightly different. They all have the same names as the real palette. The brush included in the palette is very soft and firm at the same time. Very good for contouring.

This is the back of the box which shows all the eyeshadow colours, ingredients and the use-by date.

Lots of love,
