I felt I needed to say a "BIG THANK YOU" to Chloe in this weeks Sparkly Sunday Post because early in the week she really helped to make my birthday super sparkly with a fab maternity photo shoot at Magnolia Bakery.

Review / Tutorial: The Body Shop Winter Makeup

Hi there lovelies,

I'm so excited to share with you today about a BRAND NEW MAKEUP collection from 
The Body Shop.

The Body Shop have just launched their "Sparkling Winter Makeup" in stores across Dubai.

The collection looks like this...

(The Body Shop Winter Makeup Collection)

Personally I've totally fallen in love with the whole collection and not just because it's sparkly! 

The Body Shop have always been known for their fabulous range of bath, shower and body products but over the last few years they've really built on their makeup collection...

This range of products really shows just how great The Body Shop's makeup range is and also the quality of the products has just got better and better.

I do adore all these products but my absolute favourite has to be The Lip & Cheek Doll, I love the packaging and I adore the gorgeous glow and colour this gives to the cheeks when applied (you can see more in my video). The other selling point for me for the lip & cheek doll is the fact that you can use it on the lips and cheeks... this means that creating a quick makeup look has never been quicker...great for a busy schedule!

Instead of reviewing this collection this week on my YouTube I've created two sparkling looks that you can recreate at home just following my video step by step... 

Enjoy....

Monty The Cat Gets a Purr Pack

Hi there lovelies,

This week's review is a little different in the fact that it's not a beauty review but is instead in-fact a subscription box review and unboxing video / blog post. The thing that makes it even more different... this is a box subscription service for pets.

Monty the cat is a special little fella. Over 2 years ago we rescued him. He was originally found next to some bins in Sharjah. I remember the first day that we collected him from the cat shelter and brought him home with us. He was so scared and he had pulled most of the fur off of his belly due to stress and over grooming. 

This is the very first picture that we took of Monty when we got him home.... 

(Monty the cat's first picture)

By giving Monty lots of love and care he's now a healthy, strong and happy cat as you can see from this before and after picture.... 

( Arriving in his new home left, now on the right)

You can see he's muchly loved and I would definitely recommend rescuing a cat here in Dubai from one of the shelters if you can. It's so rewarding giving them a happy home...

Anyway now you know a little more about Monty the cat! 

As a treat Monty the cat got the November Pet Pack called the Purr Pack from Dubai Pet Food  .
As we all know monthly box subscriptions are hot, hot, hot and the most popular ones out there tend to be beauty box subscriptions. However I thought how cool this idea is.... a monthly treat for your kitty! Awesome huh? 

You can find all the info on the website for the PET PACK  however if you want to just give it a go for one month it just costs 199 AED, and what's also very cool is the fact that 1 AED goes to K9 Friends here in Dubai. 

So back to the unboxing videos... if you click on the link below you can see Monty's Reaction as we unbox his Purr Pack... 

Lets just say he was pretty excited... and he played all afternoon with the kitty toys... he especially liked the mouse! 

You can find out all about the PURR PACK and how to subscribe HERE
