Afro's, Hair Science and The Struggles of a Vegetarian!

Another week has passed…WOW! An overall peaceful week but I definitely have some new obsessions to talk about.

Things I loved this week:  I have really been into big, curly, voluminous, afro type hair.  I am currently experimenting with setting methods as the curls always fall…



 
Tinted Moisturiser, I have been using the ‘Nivea Visage Tinted Moisturising Day Cream Natural’ what a mouthful! Retails at around £3.99.  This gives just a little tint to my skin so I look a bit healthier as I can get very pale and dead looking in the winter.  Just enough moisture for my oily days, not too emollient so blend quickly.

Apart from that I have not been wearing that much makeup. Tinted moisturiser, Blush, Mascara. That’s it. 

I have discovered a blog ‘Point of Interest’  Its basically a scientific take on cosmetics.  It explains ingredients and how they work down to the smallest of details.  I am particularly interested in the hair care.  You need some basic chemistry knowledge but I find it fascinating as I do A2 chemistry and I’m just a nerd like that.

Favourite drink of the week has to be Starbucks ‘Egg Nogg Latte’ or ‘Soya Praline Mocha’.  I’m not a fan of Starbucks any other time of year (I personally prefer Costa or CafĂ© Nero) but their Christmas flavours are too good to resist.

Since I am vegetarian the winter has hit me in the face like a brick.  I have been a little sniffley ect.  I’m pinning the blame on my lack of protein.  So lately I have been obsessed with anything protein rich. 

A Stew with Soya Chunks, Country Style Soup Mix, Butternut Squash, Parsnips ect. YUMMY!

Favourite Track of the week is ‘I Need’ by Maverick Sabre.  His voice is absolute amazing I seriously suggest listening to this song!

Tinted Foundation!!!!

Yes, yes i knw what I typed...tinted foundation? You might be thinkin 'what the hell?'
But lately I've been hating how foundation looks on my skin because its winter and i find my skin is on the dry side but foundation makes it oily....its really weird.

So wot ive been doing is actually is mixing my liquid foundation with an oil free moisturiser...
The ones i use is Maybeline 'Superstay' liquid foundation and Clean&Clear shine control moisturiser....
And I LOVE it, it makes my skin look naturally flawless just because im not hiding everything
It covers up discolorations and uneveness which is what I need!!!
I love this is a one step moisturiser and foundation in the morning so I can spend a couple more minutes in my warm bed!  

Whatt have you been loving this week?
