Browz


Recently I visited Browz, an exclusive brow bar in the Middle East. 


They have opened a store in The Mall (opposite Jumeriah Beach Hotel) and have brought over from the UK some of the most talked about treatments including everything from Feathered Microblading to High Definition Brows.

If you want to have the most gorgeous fluttery lashes.... read on! 

My Before...



They have introduced a new luxury lash extensions treatment which is what I have experienced and their brow expert got to work her magic on my eye lashes by adding a half set to my natural lashes making them appear longer and much more fuller looking.

Before starting we had a consultation about what I wanted to achieve from this as the beauty about this treatment is you can choose to have a more natural look or you can opt for a very full on glamorous look.  Not being very daring, I went for the more day to day natural look.


The treatment took approximately 90 minutes where individual lashes were applied one by one to my natural lashes. They are not heavy at all and feel very natural and lightweight. I honestly have forgotten already that I have them until I check the mirror and am like ' hello beautiful lashes'.

Of course, like many other treatments, they have to be maintained properly with a visit to the salon every 2-3 weeks for a top up (or removal) to ensure your lashes will look best for longer. 

The results can last up to 8 weeks and are perfect for your Summer vacation or a special occasion.

Another treatment Browz has introduced is the LVL Treatment, meaning Length, Volume, Lift. A treatment that is loved by many celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Megan Fox. LVL is designed to give the illusion of length, volume and lift and tinting them to make them appear more striking.

This treatment aims to help the natural lashes stretch out so they can reach their full potential and it can last anywhere between 6-8 weeks.

Browz have an amazing menu which includes semi permanent treatments for brows, lips and eyes. They sell an extensive range of wonderful products including Grown Alchemist, HD Brows, Elizabeth Arden and Red Cherry.


Browz are located in The Mall, Jumeirah Road, Umm Suqeim 3 (Opposite Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Dubai.

C is for Candles


One thing I love is candles! Its a little obsession.... I have way too many but I do burn them everyday. I burn them in the morning on my dressing table when I apply my make-up, in my living room at night when chilled watching TV, in the bathroom whilst I take a nice relaxing bubble bath, on my bedside cabinet when I read at night before I sleep....

I thought I would share with you my favourite candles.

1. Jo Malone London - Probably one of my more luxurious candles. The scent is 'Lime Basil & Mandarin'. This citrus aromatic fragrance was launched in 1999. Top notes are limemandarin orange and bergamot; middle notes are basil, lilac, iris and thyme; base notes are patchouli and vetiver.




2. Ralph Lauren - Also a luxurious scent 'ST. Germain' which is a blend of Smoky Bergamot, Leather and Fragrant Spice. This is quite a masculine smell but nevertheless I really like it.




3. Diptyque - This may be one of my favourite ever brand of candles. This one is 'Tubereuse' scent and it is as beautiful as the flower, although quite a strong scent which I love!



4. Sparrow Lake - Wild Bluebell, a fine artisan candle which has the most amazing scent. It has 60 hours of burning. It smells quite sweet. Fragrance Notes: Pineapple, kumquat, juicy currant, raspberry flower, vanilla, fruity musk. 




5. Bath & Body Works - Cinnamon Spiced Vanilla. A 3-Wick candle in a marble glass which radiates scent through its fragrant oils to fill the entire room. Fragrance is fresh Ground Cinnamon, Sugar Crystals, Tahitian Vanilla Bean.




6. Bath & Body Works - Black Teakwood. Also a 3-Wick candle with Rich Mahogany, Black Teakwood, Dark Oak, Frosted Lavender scent.



7. Cath Kidston - Lavender Scented in their beautiful signature print glass jar.





8. PEARCE Jar Candle - Pearce is my maiden name. ;-) The fragrance is 'White Tea' and its displayed in a pretty marble jar.




I absolutely love planting candles around the house and am always on the lookout for new brands and scents.

Hope you enjoyed this post.

Bye for now.

April Favourites


During April I have been loving so many products that I can't list them all so I have just selected a small few...



Firstly I started using the Reine Michi Body Cleansing Sponge which is such a nice change from the usual sponge that I use.  It gets rid of dirt and dead skin using this handcafted mesh sponge made out of 100% Nylon. Its also hot pink which is a bonus! The best part is it can be used for 18 months...

Being so busy, I normally take a lot of showers but every Saturday its my bath night where I light a candle, apply a face mask and add some bubbles. Lately I've been using a brand called Bubble t. Theyr'e fun and quirky and basically a T-Bag infused with summer fruits tea. It contains raspberries, strawberries and blackberries with a twist of white tea.




Another favourite of mine is Tiger Balm! Now this is something that I have used for years but it has so many uses and lately I've been using it on Mosquito bites! It soothes and cools the bite immediately. I use it also to rub on my temples whenever I feel a headache coming on... This particular tub is so tiny and I just carry it around in my handbag.



I love anything with a cucumber smell and also its one of my favourite vegetables with lots of different beauty uses as well as just generally being good for you so when I discovered Yes to Cucumbers I was very happy! I tried the Soothing facial wipes which are 95% natural and contain aloe vera to help cleanse, remove make-up and nourish skin..... all in one swipe. Perfect!



I've recently discovered a lovely brand, Kosme. During last month i've been using the radiance beauty oil which is really nice and smooth on my skin. I added a tiny amount to my foundation which gave me a beautiful glow and very soft skin.


Make-up favourites include my new all time favourite mascara by Too Faced 'Better Than Sex'. I can't believe this is the first time I have tried it. Its absolutely amazing and gives me the longest lashes as well as fuller looking lashes. Im grateful to have received a sample size which is now empty so its definitely on my shopping list!


Still on the theme of eye make-up, I've been loving the Ciate Skinny Shadow Stick which is a long lasting high-pigment shimmer eyeshadow. The particular colour Im using is 'Power Hour' and its a subtle gold/beige shade which I've been using all across my eyelids for a daytime look. Its very easy to apply and just glides on really smoothly.


Another eye make-up fave is the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner which is a waterproof liquid liner and does a fab job with cat eyes and winged eyes. Again, Im late to the discovery of this wonderful product but will be purchasing it for sure!





Thats all for my monthly favourites!

Hope you enjoyed reading this!!
