Urgently Seeking Upstyle...

On March 3rd I'm heading to a black-tie ball and I have everything picked out: the dress, the shoes, the bag, the jewels, the makeup........ but, I'm undecided on the hairstyle. This is where you come in!!

My gorgeous gown is deep red, floor length and pretty simple from the front. The WOW factor is the back, beautifully made from lace with delicate buttons down the spine. I obviously want to show the intricate detailing off so I'm thinking that an upstyle would be the best option.

I was casually browsing Google for inspiration and I came across this beautiful inspired upstyle.

This beautiful, simple look was inspired by the stunning Taylor Swift. I've booked myself in to get my hair done and they've told me that they can do almost anything I want.

So... what are your thoughts? Do you like this hairstyle or do you think I should go for something else? I'm open to all suggestions!!

Review: Lovea Argan Healing Butter

Long time, no blog!

I know I haven't blogged in about a decade, but I've been really under the weather - I spent most of the month of January in bed with the flu (I have asthma so the flu really knocks me sideways).

I really didn't feel like pampering myself while I was sick, so I am very behind on my reviews. However, I've been feeling a bit better for the past fortnight and have been diligently testing out the products I received recently from MyPure - the first of these is Lovea's Healing Butter.
This product, made with Argan oil, is absolutely wonderful on dry skin. I suffer badly from dry skin on my feet and am constantly on the lookout for a product to rectify this problem. Several nights a week, I cover my feet with vaseline and wear cotton socks to bed. However, this remedy leaves your feet slippery and greasy so it's not a feasible daytime solution.

According to the container, this butter soothes and intensely nourishes dry skin, providing an immediate feeling of comfort. It repairs damaged skin, helping it to regain its softness.
I have found my saviour in this product. It moisturises, without leaving residue. Though I still use my vaseline trick at night, I find myself reaching for this product every morning. Though I won't run out of this any time soon (a little goes a long way), I can state with confidence that I will definitely be repurchasing!
