Beauty: Eden Semilla 100% natural vitamin E oil Review


This week I was lucky enough to be given the chance to test a new product by Eden's Semilla! A lovely lady called Blanca got in touch with me and asked me if I would like to try out the company's new oil - which of course I was excited to do!


Eden Semilla is a company selling a variety of natural and essential oils, and face serums. It originally formed in the USA to meet demand for a South American variety of rosehip seed that creates incredibly versatile rosehip oil with fantastic benefits for hair, nails and skin. The name for the company comes from it's connections to South America as Semilla means seed in Spanish. I was given the opportunity to try the 100% natural vitamin E oil with organic rosehip and jojoba blend which has been created to repair skin cell damage to repair blemishes, discolouration, scars and acne, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, sooth irritated skin, revitalise dull skin, and soothe sunburn. Also, it can be used on hair to protect the scalp, detangle hair and leave it  looking smooth and shiny. 


I have tested the oil for 3 or 4 days and I have to say I am really loving it! I have been massaging a few drops into my skin in the mornings, mixing it in with my moisturiser in the evenings and combing it through my hair when it is damp after I wash it and daily before I go to bed. It have very acne prone skin I was reluctant to use it on my face as I have very oily skin, but this oil has actually helped reduce the redness and blemishes I have. In regards to my hair, it has made a huge difference in detangling it (as I can actually get a brush through it in the morning with this oil!) and it has also helped with my very dry and split ends! My only issue is that I am not the biggest fan of the scent, but I love the product so much that I can happily ignore this! I will definitely be repurchasing and trying more products from Eden Semilla!

If you would like to try this product it is available on Amazon for £12.95 and can be purchased here: http://amzn.to/2gSZWmw

Fashion: OOTD: November Blues


With the cold November weather finally reaching me in my new second home of Brighton, I decided that it was the perfect time to break out the winter fashions that I love so much and head out into the cold winds of the Brighton seafront in order to put them to the test and show them to you guys!



The outfit I went with was a mix of monochrome and blue tones - perfect for the winter season without being too dull. I paired this blue and white check cold shoulder dress (Topshop, £10 on sale) with black tights and this awesome blue and black platform ankle boots (eBay) to create a cure winter-toned outfit. 


Then to keep warm I wore my new black faux fur coat that you can see bellow (Primark, £20) and it certainly did the job of keeping me warm from the cold sea breeze! It also is extremely practical with two large pockets to keep my phone in (and my hands warm!). 


For accessories I also kept it very simple by layering a choker and a necklace. I wore this black tattoo choker (New Look, £3.99) and this black cord space ship necklace (vintage fair, £10) to add a bit of detail without over powering the whole outfit.



For makeup, I kept the majority of it simple with a nude and brown shadows (Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette), black liner (Soap & Glory Supercat liner), a light blush (Sleek Rose Gold blush) and a white-tone highlighter (Topshop Starlight Higlighter). Then add a bit of drama I wore a dark purple lipstick to create a focus point to the look and tie in the dark and blue tones of the outfit (Makeup Revoulition Salvation Velvet lacquer, Velvet Vamp).



I had lot of fun exploring Brighton seafront to take the photos and even stopped for a cheeky Shakeaway whilst out (strawberry and milkybar milkshake with with cream if you are interested!). I really enjoyed making this kind of outfit post so if you liked it make sure to let me know so I can do more!
