Brum bloggers events are never ones to miss. This time our lovely Ting (check out her blog & Instagram here) has taken us and our hair to the newly re-opened award-winning Sixth Sense hair salon in the midst of Sutton Coldfield high street. We were welcomed with red carpet (I was so underdressed!!) and cheeky champagne cocktails! The owners Dean V & Dean R were both there to welcome us all and tell us all about their business venture and how it came about!

 
There's something about the place, the people that make you want to come back. Not only you get award winning staff taking care of all your hair's needs, but also the incredible atmosphere, lovely decor and the most incredible treatment room. Sixth Sense works closely with cancer patients, supporting cancer charities and some stories had made me tear up. Once a survivor, always a survivor! Stories like these make you see the place as something else entirely. Beauty and hair business is usually competitive and can be very elitist, so to see local businesses supporting charities and working closely in their communities is a breath of fresh air.

#PASTELOVE - COLOUR ME PRETTY WITH ZOEVA SWEET GLAMOUR COLLECTION

Zoeva has a new palette. Actually, two palettes and the beauty world has gone insane. Why? Because it's so damn pretty! I have demonstrated my love for pastels plenty of times on my socials and the blog so it's no brainer I would've splurged on the Zoeva's new offerings. Zoeva can do no wrong, now can it? 

Sweet Glamour Eyeshadow Palette is a beautiful, spring/summer collection from Zoeva. It's light and colourful with pastel mattes and lighter than light dream like shimmery shades. Sweet Glamour Cheek Palette is a quintessence of celebrating pink flushes with one hell of a highlighter included too! And I mean it - OMFG that highlight <3. Let's have a quick look if Zoeva Sweet Glamour Collection lives up to the hype it's given all over beauty socials and blogosphere, shall we? 

NEW IN MAKEUP: HIGH END & DRUGSTORE HAUL & FIRST IMPRESSIONS

I've been moaning lately that I never buy makeup anymore. This is obviously an overreaction and any normal person would surely show me a middle finger and told me off LOL! In all truth, I concentrated more on skincare lately and other than few palettes, I rarely wandered through makeup isles. Shopping makes for a great therapy and is still cheaper than paying for a good psychologist, so when I'm blue I treat myself and boy, did I do just that recently. Run credit card, run & hide!

CANNABIS IN BEAUTY? INTRODUCTION TO HEMP (CANNABIS) OIL & OLVITA + SHOPPING EXPERIENCE AT HEMPLINE COSMETICS #AD

I won't be persuading you that smoking weed has anything to do with a beautiful complexion. Whatever my opinion on the subject, Cannabis are illegal to purchase in U.K., however Cannabis Oil (or Hemp Oil) is a well known (and legal!) beauty ingredients who has quite surprising benefits to our health, skin and much more. Cannabis oil can be, in fact, beneficial in your beauty routine. 

When I was first contacted by Hempline Cosmetics, I did my research and found that many of the cosmetics they sell have been infused with Cannabis Oil. That made me think of many factors, the use of Cannabis Oil can benefit my skin, hair and body care as well as maintining my health and here's what I came up with.

MAKEUP REVOLUTION MONDAY: LUXURY AT BUDGET PRICES? NEW RENAISSANCE RANGE REVIEWED.

Nothing makes me feel better like a good makeup haul & It feels I haven't bought makeup in forever. Ok, that's an exaggeration but it's been a while since I "makeup hauled" Makeup Revolution. I was lucky to attend their 3rd birthday celebration recently and we were shown new releases at the party! I couldn't wait to get my hand on the new packaging of their products! I'm glad Makeup Revolution is evolving and better packaging is a sign of some sorts, that things are changing. For a beauty blogger aesthetics become part of a day. We aim to Pinterest worthy surroundings and however, a cliche that is, I love a good packaging. I'm more inclined to shop when luxury packaging is present and there's no wonder, I couldn't wait to order some of the new range. Makeup Revolution Renaissance is a combination of quality formulas we come to love & beautiful packaging, TAM Beauty's evolving into! 

NEW GENERATION BEAUTY BOXES FROM LATEST IN BEAUTY: SUBSCRIPTION, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST & HARPER'S BAZAAR UNBOXING

Latest in Beauty Bazaar Limited Edition Box

Latest in Beauty Beauty and the Beast Limited Edition box

Latest in Beauty subscription March 2017

Ok, I may have a slight Latest in Beauty problem. I used to be a huge fan, then got bored with beauty boxes and stopped & now I'm back in a full swing. By that I mean, within a week or so I managed to order not one but three boxes & let me tell you, I am loving it! If you follow me for a bit, you can probably see a lot more of skincare posts than previously. I have been more cautious about my complexion and trailing a lot of new skincare. I am loving my skin at the moment. Becoming aware of ingredients and learning about their benefits for my skin has been mind blowing. It's not easy, it took me a year or so to perfect my daily routine. I also change the product quite often but go by the rules I've learnt. Latest in Beauty boxes provide an incredible opportunity to test the new and usually expensive product without having to spend hundreds. The samples offered are of good size and you can always tell what size you are about to order. There are so many brands to choose from and that's what I love about the boxes, they're totally transparent, you get what you paid for! 

MARCH EDIT: 'NEW HAIR DON'T CARE', PARTY REVOHOLIC STYLE, SKINCARE TO DIE FOR & DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA

How the hell is it April already? Ok, I know how I've worked every waking moment of March. Almost. Time is flying and we're closing on Easter! How?!?!? Also am I the only one feeling the loss of that one hour in bed Sunday before last? Please tell me I'm not crazy, but I can't wake up in the morning, just can't. Getting up still feels like a torture!
