The perks of M.A.C. makeup

A while ago I found out something amazing...

M.A.C. give out FREE lipstick (if you have 6 empty containers of their products) - I know this is the case for the UK M.A.C stores, i'm not sure about the rest of the world but apparently this has been going on for years. What a wonderful way to recycle (i think that's what happens with the empty liquid foundation tubs, lipstick holders etc lol) AND get a freebie! 

Let me tell you about the wonderful process:

1) You have your six empty containers. 

2) Walk/drive/etc to your nearest M.A.C. store, pick out the lipstick colour you like.

3) Walk to the till with your containers, hand them over to the cashier, show them the lipstick colour you want and then bam! They just hand you over a new lipstick and say "have a good day"!!

It... is... so... cool.

So for all you lipstick lovers out there - go get yours! 

Here's a picture of the colour (Diva A14 matte) I got from their store in Selfridges:

Extensions and Blazers

So, i've had my hair in twists for a while now because I am fed up with combing it. Yeah, I said it lol combing this afro of mine isn't always a walk in the park.

But with the twists, I just wake up put my hair back in one and rollll...

I am very used to doing my own hair, i've been doing my own extensions since about 12/13 years old woohoo
I usually do plaits but it's so time consuming! But i've discovered or rather, reminded myself of the wonderful world of twists!

I've challenged myself to keep twisting my hair for a few months, or maybe a bit longer as it probably been a few months already.

Yep, i'm going to do those wonderful kinky twist extensions
No, not the big twists
No, not the small twists using expressions
Those afro-looking twists using kinky hair

          btw I just love, love, love blazers! They make everything look so much better!
