Inspirational Eternal Icon

So what would you do if you had a cool £100,000 lying around?
Some would go out and buy a pair of shoes, of course!

Forget Jimmy Choo or Manolos, the UK based House of Borgezie has created the ultimate pair of stilettos. Studded with over 2,200 brilliant cut diamonds that totals over 30 carats in weight and are welded onto solid sheets of gold with striking detailing, you are guaranteed to dazzle and shine with every step taken in these babies. Which woman wouldn't want that?

Named The Eternal Bozegie Diamond Stilleto, it is a true work of art. Designed by Christopher Michael Shellis and featuring the patented stamen heal design, each pair takes just over 1000 hours and a team of goldsmiths to handcraft. It even comes with an eternal (that's 1 thousand years, if you must know) guarantee. For the price, I think that's only fair.

Five pairs have already been sold to the well heeled (quite literally!) and interest from celebrities are growing.

Review: Earth & Body henna hair wax treatment

Even though I don't heat style my hair often, with the exception of the hair dryer used 2 to 3 times a week, my locks are unruly, dry and very prone to breakage and split ends.
Whatever the reason (vitamin deficiency, being too rough when brushing - who knows), I am always looking for the miracle product to prevent and fix my mane issues.

I chanced upon this fabulous product after scouring online forums for some directions and want to share with you this fab and cheap product that silkens my lack-luster locks.

Introducing Earth & Body Henna Treatment Wax:

This treatment wax packs a great punch. It contains hydrolysed proteins, lanolin and henna leaf extract which are known to nourish and lock moisture back into hair, smooth and add shine. Used after shampooing in place of your regular conditioner, its rich and thick texture goes on hair like a mask. I leave it in my hair for 3 minutes before rinsing and voila, I have semi-decent manes that is soft, silky, less frizzy and easier to style.

I also find that I have fewer breakages with regular use of this treatment. The split ends also did not worsen, which was great but nothing other than a chop and snip will get rid of those completely.

Seriously, this stuff is almost as good as the pricier L'oreal Asolut Repair masque (review of that coming soon) and it is 10% of the price for the same amount - how can you say no and not give this a try?

NOTD: Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Enamel - 819 Green with Envy

Rimmel 60 Seconds - Green with Envy (with falsh, no flash)

I was looking for some colours in my nails and picked this up at Priceline which currently has 20% off Rimmel products.

819 Green with Envy is a gorgeous pearlescent peacock green colour. The formula is very forgiving, you don't need to be the perfect polish painter and the colour will self level as it dries and is non streaky- perfect for clumsy people like me. 2 coats and you have a colour that is true to bottle.These polishes dry in no time which makes them are less prone to accidental marks and dents.

Rimmel put these polishes out with a wide tapered flat brush which I personally found harder to use than normal brushes. Those with smaller and neater nail shapes than mine will probably find this makes application easier than traditional brushes as it can cover the whole nail in one stroke.

The above photos were taken after 3 days of wear (with top coat) and they are still brilliantly shiny and fairly chip resistant. I'm impressed with its durability.

Overall I really like Rimmel polishes, there is enough shades to choose from to keep you amused and are relatively cheap. Green with Envy is vibrant and looks stunning if you like  wearing black or dark clothings (me at work most days).

I wore this into the office this week and had so many compliments, from the ladies and the men, which was surprising as I'd thought that they never notice nail colours. Even Mr. Yoyo told me he liked it after he got over the fact it was green.

Check them out next time when you pass the Rimmel counters and pick one up to try for yourself.

Disclosure: Mr. Yoyo is the man in my life. He likes to think he is the best and smartest boyfriend there ever is. He gets on my nerves most times and never listens to me even though he tells me he likes to "practice his listening face" when I'm around. Despite this, he gives me his undying support and I love him for it.
