Cosmopolitan UK - February 2016

Now this is what I call an exciting cover girl. I will definitely be getting my hands on this Cosmopolitan issue. I am excited to see Millie Mackintosh on it, if you watch Made in Chelsea, then you will know who she is, as she was one of the original cast members, and if you don’t watch Made in Chelsea, why don’t you? Lol…Just kidding, I have stopped watching it myself, I got a little bored with their very posh lifestyle. I prefer TOWIE any day, the old TOWIE, that is, the last couple of TOWIE seasons have been painfully boring. The producers better do something about the cast and their boring story lines.

Anyways, back to Millie Mackintosh on the Cosmo cover, I like the fact that she looks very simple in a white shirt, I almost didn’t recognise her. You would think she would go all glamed up. Something different and unexpected is always good. I would love to read about her business and her marriage, a lot of drama went down on social media after her wedding, so reading the gist from the horse’s mouth should be interesting.

I am also loving the £1 price tag, very smart of Cosmo, as most people are broke. My bank balance is currently in a bad state BUT I should be able to find a pound coin somewhere right? Anything for Millie….

I will also love to own one of her designs, Millie is a fashion designer/author/health ambassador; I have been reading a lot about her new collection on Twitter, and I like all what I have been seeing  so far.

The office politics feature also looks like a great read. Cosmo delivers most of the time, and that is the reason why it is one of my favourite magazines. This cover is currently on sale. Will you be picking a copy? Sound off in the comment section.

Thanks for reading and have a great day.

 

Product Review: Loxx Virgin Malysian Loose Waves

New Hair Review

Hey peoples. It is a new week, and I have a new product review post for you. This week, I am reviewing Loxx Virgin Malaysian Loose Waves. I received 3 bundles of this Virgin Malaysian Loose Wave hair extensions in 20 inches and a silk base closure in 16 inches from the lovely people at Loxx some weeks ago, and I have been dying to try it out. I finally got them installed some days ago and I am super impressed with the overall look of the hair.

One of my New Year Fashion and Style Resolutions for 2016 is to play with my hair styles a little more. I played it too safe in 2015, but this year, you are going to be seeing a lot of different hair styles on the blog, so watch this space.

Now back to this post of today, Loxx Hair is a small team of dedicated specialists based in London, UK.  Their mission is to help women look and feel fabulous, by selling 100% human Remy hair weave in Grades 6A and 7A.

 Here is what Loxx has to say about this hair extensions:

Loxx 100% Virgin Brazilian Hair is completely natural and chemical free, It meets our rigorous standards of being unprocessed and pure. It can be washed, cut, straightened, curled, dyed as you desired to create a natural, comfortable style, and changes your look in an instant.

Here is what Loss has to say about the silk hair closure:

Loxx Silk Base Closure is worn with a weave to give a natural looking hair-line. The Silk Base Closure is 100% virgin Human hair that can be styled in various ways. The Silk Base material creates a scalp for this closure, and therefore can be parted and styled in any way.

Now here are my thoughts:

PROS

  1. I did not need to add-on any more hair. The 3 bundles and closure were more than enough to achieve the BIG hair don’t care look I was going for.
  2. It is super shiny and curly. The hair has a natural shine to it. You will be needing minimal hair spray with this beauty.
  3. This hair is 100% virgin/unprocessed, and super soft to touch.
  4. It can be washed, dyed, straightened, and curled. I love the fact that I can style this hair in various ways. I can’t wait to play around with this hair.

New Hair Review

This is the look straight out of the box.

 

CONS

  1. There has been a bit of shedding and a bit of tangle as well.
  2. The hair is 20 inches but doesn’t look like it, and that is because it is so curly. My advice will be to go for a 22/24 inches set, if you want a longer look.

I love this hair a lot and I see myself using it over and over again. You can grab yours at Loxx, the sale is currently on, prices start from £49.77 for a 3 pack, in 8 inches, and goes up to £250.56 for a 3 pack, in 30 inches.

On Sunday – 10 January, we lost a legend. David Bowie died a peaceful death after a courageous 18 month battle with liver cancer, 2 days after his 69th birthday. His death is a huge loss to all his fans, especially the music and fashion lovers.

The Style Icon: David Bowie

David Bowie was an iconic singer, artist, producer, actor and fashion god. He successfully invented his own style and made it look good. He grab fashion ideas from everywhere and put his spin on it. If anyone else wore most of his pieces, they would look stupid, but on Bowie, it was stylish. Guess that is why he is known as a Style Icon, he could get away wearing anything. He was a risk taker, and he was daring. This man had no comfort zone, Before Lady Gaga, there was David Bowie, and no one did flamboyance like him, no one even came close.

I adorned David Bowie’s music, style, confidence, willingness to try new things, and his ‘over the topness’. Sometimes I wish I could just let go and be like that, even if it was for 1 day. David Bowie did that to us, he was like a breath of fresh air, he had no rules, he lived his life on his own terms, and it felt good to watch. While other stars were busy being serious, he was having so much fun producing great music, playing around with his look, and standing out from the rest Guess that is why he was loved by many all over the world.

I am going to miss so much about him, but I believe he has gone to a better place, free from illnesses and worries, and I believe his music and style will continue to live on. My thoughts are with Iman and the rest of your family.

Rest in peace David Bowie.
