You'll never guess who's 10 months natural?


Me!
How did you guess? ;)

I'm going to be 10 months natural on the 11th but I thought I'd just do this post now as I won't have time during the week. 
There are a few (and then some) pictures below of my hair.

I have been using Cantu shea butter leave in conditioner, ApHogee Leave-in Conditioner and Care Free Curl Gold on my hair for the past 2/3 months. Also, TRESemme shampoo and V05 conditioner. These products all smell so nice.


I can't believe how much my hair has grown! I remember when I first cut it and thought it would take so long but I must admit, these 10 months have flown by!
I have gotten a few looks at college as if to say "Does she know her hair looks like that?" and once my dad told me (with no warning or hesitation)  that my hair looked like I hadn't finished it so I had to explain to him that it was natural haha

Affordable Christmas gifts for under £10!


Hello! 
This post is going to be on affordable gifts for under £10.
If you have quite a big group of  friends and you're not very keen on spending £30 on them each or you simply don't have the money to or you just want to buy yourself something then you're reading the right post!

Have yourself a merry little..
Lipstick

A girl can ever have too many lipsticks. Fact.

Left to right
MUA Lip Boom It's a Situation £3 I really don't like the highlighter but the lipstick itself is really good and you're spoilt or choice with 8 shades to choose from. 
Topshop Beguiled £8 Beautiful wine colour on the lips, would look great on any skin tone!
MUA Shade £1 For a pound, you can't go wrong. 
Rimmel Starry Eyed £4.99 I love this colour! It's incredibly creamy and I find myself reaching for it everyday.


Tis' the season to wear..
Statement Jewellery

These chains and earrings can really make an outfit so much so that you might not even need to wear any other jewellery. 
Choker necklace £1.99 Theses were from eBay, I can never seem to find them in H&M so I went to eBay!
 Republic Earrings £6  I fell in love with these as soon as I saw it in Republic and I can't wait to wear them.
Primark Necklace £4 This is from Primark.  I love the way it lays on my chest and just gives a dress that extra pizazz that it needs.
Earrings £7 Asos They may not look big in the picture but these earrings are massive! They're beautiful though. They are "I've arrived" earrings and no one can miss them.


Deck your nails with lots of..
Nail Polish

L.A Colors Jewel Tone £1 Everyone needs a little bit of glitter on their nails around this time of year. This one is called Jewel Tone.
Rimmel Sky High £3.69  & Rimmel Double Decker Red £2.99  These are both colours that are festive and go so well with this time of year.


On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me lots and lots of...
Makeup

Sleek Blusher These are good quality and there is such a wide range of shades so there will be at least one that suits you!
MUA Eyeliner Lovely Lilac and Royal Blue They add a pop of colour to the eyes. The royal blue is indeed very blue so if you'd prefer something more subtle then lovely Lilac is for you. 
Rimmel Day to Night Mascara £7.99 I love this mascara! I really can't fault it. 
MUA Heaven & Earth Eyeshadow pallet  You get 12 eye shadows for £4 and the pigmentation is amazing! 


Last Christmas I gave you my...
Book

The Kite Runner I'm reading this for my English Literature assessment. If you prefer to read books or have a friend who does but you don't want a kindle then Amazon is the place for you. There are thousands of books you can buy for under £10. 

I cannot wait for X Factor tonight! Team Jahmes (James & Jahmene)

Nails Inc. St James | A little piece of luxury everyday.


Hellooo!
I've been eyeing up this magazine for about a week now, only because of the nail polish inside (ever since I discovered dailymail.co.uk, I've stopped reading magazines)  This nail polish is worth £11 but I bought it and the magazine for just £2.  Cheryl Cole is on the magazine looking absolutely stunning as usual, I didn't use to think much of her before but after watching Access All Areas on ITV, I really like her!

Is it just me that starts on my pinkie finger when I paint my nails and make my way up to my thumb?

Nails inc. St. James is a rich red colour and I do think it's quite similar to Rimmel Double Decker Red, it dries really quickly so this is definitely a colour you can apply if you're in a hurry. Although red nail polish is an all year favourite colour of mine, it's still such a festive colour for this time of year and I did go on to add a cheeky bit of glitter on my ring finger. Ooh saucaay. 
I love this colour, when I first saw it I thought it would clash with my skin tone but it looks great (in my opinion!)  and I will definitely be wearing it on Christmas day.

As the nail polish is worth £11, I would expect it to last longer than inexpensive ones that I own. So far, so good.
This nail polish are still available in the shops as this is Glamour's December Edition.
I don't see myself spending £11 on any nail varnish anytime soon so this was a real bargain and I will try to resist buying another shade tomorrow but I can't promise anything! 

It's almost Christmas!!! I'm so excited to hand out my Christmas cards to my friends as I always put a little message in each and a candy cane. I know a candy cane! How exciting?!

OOTD | All about Navy

Afternoon! 
Wanted to share with you what I wore to church today. Apologies for the quality of these pictures, I can't seem to find ANYWHERE in my house that has good lighting for me to take pictures and its way too cold outside for me to stand there attempting (and failing) to do my Tyra Banks poses. 

My jeans are from Dorothy Perkins, they're doing a sale of up to 30% off everything allowing me to get them for £17.50 instead of £25! 
So if you need some jeans and want to get them for a good price, pop into one of their stores or visit their website here as it ends midnight tonight!

 It was my birthday yesterday so a few of my friends came round to stay over and we watched Think Like A Man (I've watched it 3 times now) played some games, eat junk food and most importantly, laughed a whole lot! CHEESE ALERT -  I just loved having the people I love around me as I started a new chapter in my life.
Also, I went on google.com and it said 'Happy Birthday Tosin'. My friends and I were so freaked out until we realized I was logged into my google account. It was nice to feel important for a moment though *sigh* haha
