Simone Slater [한국의 외국인 생활]


 Its the most wonderful time of the year!!! One more Monday until Christmas!! Eeeek...Can you believe this year has flown by so quickly! I am so excited for the festivities to begin.
Speaking of festivities I have been meaning to do a review on these amazing Moroccan Oil products.
I have been using these hair products consistently for the past 4 weeks and I am inlove. My hair has a constant shine and glossy look and feel. My split ends aren't as apparent and my colour lasts longer.

I would recommend the Moroccan Oil range for everyone and anyone!! It may be on the pricey said but it is definitely worth the money. You can buy any one of these hair care products as Salon Outlets and stockists like Salon 500 (ridge road)

So if you have been following my blog and youtube channel for some time you will know I love shopping for beauty products especially when there are SALES!! I love shopping on a budget , you don't need to spend millions of rands to keep up with the latest beauty trends. So while at Clicks, at the entrance of the store I was like YAY!! The SALE sign and the containers with all the sale items, and low and behold all the Accessorize products were marked down next-to-nothing. I alwayse hear beauty bloggers talking about baked blushes and bronzers especially from Milani, but unfortunately we do not have them here in South Africa, so whn I saw the Baked bronzer from Accessorize was on sale I was like SCORE!! And its amazing. In the video you will see the two shade I picked up, both with different tones but equally beautiful. Let me not give away too much. Enjoy the video! xoxxo

hey my loves.. So over this weekend there was so much happening in our city, Khloe Kardashian was down with her beau French Montana for the MTV African Music Awards. Did I get to see her?? NO :-( So upset about that. But Durban was pumping with festivities, from the pre-parties to the after parties, Durban was the place to be. Staying on such a popular street I managed to catch the entertainment and feel the vibes but not meet any celebs which sucks so much because they were so close but so far (if you know what I mean??!!)
On Saturday morning I went to breakfast at the Blue Waters Hotel with my family, what a spread they had. So I decided to take some outfit posts from that morning. (thanks to my dad for his photography skills) LOL. It happened to be such a beautiful day in Durban, but the icy wind was a killer. I rocked my new Check shirt from Mr Price which I have been dying to get my hands on and finally my mum managed to track it down for me for only R119.
After that I had such a chilled weekend, filmed a video for you beauties, so hopefully will be up this week, keep an eye out for it! Hope you have a fabulous week ahead!! xoxox
 


I totally love this look and its so simple to do using the makeup you have at home. I found this awesome glitter form Legit and its become my Holly Grail product to achieve the bronze/glitter goddess look. I did upload my favourites video last month with this look and alot of you asked me to do a tutorial on it, so here it is! Hope you enjoy!!xxx

Gold Glitter + Bronze Makeup
Eyeshadow Base - Maybelline 24hr Colour Tatoo (Eternal Gold)
Gold Glitter - Legit Fashion
Bronze Eyeshadow - MAC Skin Finish Gold Deposit
Liquid Liner - Essence Liquid Ink
Mascara - Maybelline Illegal Definition 
Lipstick - Yardely Super Moist Collection (Peach Perfect)
Lipgloss - Avon Lip Pump


Many of you gorgous babies asked me how I achieve a flawless coverage or makeup look, and its so simple I use the least products but its so effective. Currently I have been loving MAC Foundations and that is how I have been controlling my oily/acne blemish skin to conceal the blemishes and also still look natural.

We all want those gorgeous long and lucious lashes like Kim Kardashian but sometimes it just never works no matter how much mascara you apply. I found a quick and easy method via the HudaBeauty blog to prevent breakage and promote growth on your lashes. The ingredients are simple and you probably have them lying around in your kitchen, so lets make use of it!
When I talk about products being available here in South Africa am not talking about online shopping and paying for shipping and duties but actually physically visiting their stores and testing out the makeup. It sucks that some brands don't make it here to our country and we have to pay for shipping and duties, which I don't mind paying but when you calculate how much it ends up costing it’s really not worth it because you end up paying double which is more than what the products are worth.

With that being said I put together a few brands which I wish could come to South Africa so we can experience what international bloggers/beauty gurus and beauty lovers get to see on a daily basis. Brands like Nars and Benefit Cosmetics to name a few have products which I am dying to try but they are so out of reach... But let’s face it, it’s not hard for a girl to wish! :-)
