My First Jolie Box December 2011
Ahh today is a good day- after much anticipation I finallly received my Jolie box (Formerly Boudoir Prive) Just in time for Christmas and I must say I am very impressed. Instead of the usual 5 items, I received 7. 4 of which were full sized products.
If this is a sign of things to come then I am sure Il have a have a very long love affair with Jolie box :-)
I have taken photos of the box and the products and in true Zahara Beauty Fashion I couldnt wait so tried the OPI shatter polish out and wow wow wow. Love it.
Also got a Jolie Box concealer brush which didnt come out in the photo - I discovered it after I took the photos lol
Im sure you will all agree that this truly is an amazing box this month and Im sure some of you will be so jealous :-)

Cool Trick I discovered today
Hello Hunny Buns.
So this is very random and not remotely beauty related or anything to do with make up but it is related to my other obsession - My blackberry.
Recently the case at the back that covers the battery has become so loose and started to irritate me. But i came up with this neat trick , ingenius idea of how to stop that.

Glossy Box
Hello My Lovelies...
This month I got My first glossy box. I just had to subscribe after I kept hearing wonderful things from my friends within the industry and of course the deal was sealed after my very own sister kept mentioning all the lovely items she kept receiving in her previous Glossy's.
There are many reasons why I love Glossy box and why it is my new favourite thing but the main reason I love it so much is because it just introduces me to products I have never used before and some that I have not even heard of. For example, the product I had just reviewed Rahua.
To put it simply I would be lost without my glossy box and I look forward to getting my next box because the products I received this month were amazing
Love love love this product as an eyeshadow and to fill in the gaps in my eyebrows because they are so light. I also experimented and used the darkest shade as an eyeliner by wetting it and drawing a line on my top lid. Amazing effect.
I used this product today for the first time and I absolutely am in love. Its made my skin so soft and gorgeous. it has a really subtle scent and is not greasy at all. I am so gonna buy this product. Its just pure luxury. I didnt even feel like I was putting oil on my face. It hydrated my skin . My nose tends to get really dry and im forever exfoliating it but just a few drops of this and voila - all gone. No dry patches anywhere.

HD Brows 'Eyes & Brow Palette'
Nuxe Huille Prodigieuse Dry Oil
Omorovicza - Thermal Cleansing Balm
Received a small pot so just sampled this on the back of my hand. It has a similiar effect to a self warming clay mask, and it glides onto the skin really easily. No need to go to a spa. It claims to have been created by mineral cosmetology, whatever that means all I know is that my skin felt really soft afterwards. I dont see my pot lasting very long at this rate :-(
Plum -Perfume by Mary Greenwell
Admittedly, When i first opened this perfume I thought it was too strong and took an immediate dislike to it when i put it onto my wrist. But when I was lying down and reaching to move my hair from my face I caught a whiff of it . I must say it did grow on me a bit. It smells better way after you put it on. Im not sure I will go out and buy this product but to have it in my bag to use when i want to top up my perfume or refresh then its not one I will totally be embarrassed of. Its a flowery / fruity scent .
And I received Rahua shampoo and conditioner
So I really loved my september box, I got some really great products which I have started to use..
Thank you Glossy , I look forward to my October box..(PS its my birthday in october so please make me a happy bunny)
And to everybody else who has not signed up yet - why not ? :-) Check it out https://www.glossybox.co.uk/ you wont be disappointed.

Review Of Rahua Shampoo & Conditioner
Hello Hunnies,
I'm just fresh from a lovely long sunday bath and thought i'd give a review of some products i received in my Glossybox this month.
So today I used Rahua Shampoo and Conditioner. Rahua (pronounced Ra-Wa) is rich with organic and natural ingredients and ideal for color treated hair and used together they are set to promote healthy lustrous and bouncy hair. All ingredients are grown from the Amazon rainforest.
The Shampoo and conditioner are luxurious and you feel like you are in a spa. They have that 'spa' scent. Not a great smelling combo but I still had a good experience nonetheless.
So the Shampoo oozed from the sachet like a silk honey,great rich honey colour without the stickiness. As soon as I put it on my hair it was like it just stripped away any build up of the dreaded hairspray and mousse i use to tame my long curly hair. FANTASTIC. I wish i had more of it so I could give a fair review , my hair is very long after all.:-p
The conditioner also made my hair soft and somehow detangled it along the way. I only had small sachets to work with so used all 4 of the samples received in my glossy box (Sept box).
The packaging is great and although it doesnt smell great it did have an aura of a spa treatment about it and I did feel like i was relaxing :-) and for that I do like this product. Anything that makes me feel as though I am pampering and doing something good for my skin / hair / body/ the world and environment; I welcome with open arms. Great feeling.
I would recommend people to use it just for the relaxation factor.
I am going to visit the site and see what other products they have.
And an added bonus if you visit www.beautique.com and enter the code RAHUA10 you get to receive 10% of your order - offer ends 31st of September 2011.

Benefit make up...A growing collection
Here is a list of just some of the items I have in my ever-growing Benefit make up collection.
I love the packaging of the products and the quirky names , I love using them on myself and also my clients because they are long lasting and very good quality. Benefit have something for every type of skin and every type of problem to fix any dillema you may find yourself in when it comes to beauty
Just to name a few of the products I have in my collection (or that I can remember)
- Bluffdust (redness concealing powder) - Great for skin thats prone to redness or fatigue
- Eye bright / Bad girl / It Stick -
- Glitzglam & gloss 6 shade gloss set
- All that Shimmers -lust duster trio - great as shadow but when wet becomes eyeliner, vibrant colors
- Lemon Aid - hides redness and discoloration , gives your eyes a refreshed look
- You rebel - Tinted moisturiser - adapts to your own skin tone and doesnt feel heavy at all.
- Speed brow - great for taming unruley brows
- Coralista - give your skin a glow , peachy bronze shade
- That girl
- High beam / Moon beam
And so much more . . . My absolute next product to buy, which i have been meaning to buy for a while now is 'girl meets pearl' it looks gorgeous , smells gorgeous and is a stunning highlighter / primer great under or over foundation or used alone. I'd highly recommend it as it refreshes skin and makes it look so good day or night.
