Friday Favourites: 21st January

My love for skiing is well and truly back after a recent press trip to the Hochkonig region, part of Ski Amade in Austria. With a flight only being 1h 10 minutes you really have no excuses. I find skiing one of the best ways to relax, whilst up a mountain all you can think about is the incredible scenery not what is next on my to do list! A full post will follow shortly but thought this definitely deserved a shout out.

I am a recent convert to Nars using their All day Luminous Weightless Foundation so I couldn't resist trying some of the key products from the Steven Klein collaboration and I am in love Lip Gloss in Fast Life and Killer Shine Lipstick in No Shame and Besame Mucho. The collection also has some incredible nail polishes my favourites areBlack Fire and Hard to Get. The collection is available from Sephora.

Before I jetted off to Houston I got my eyebrows dyed and threaded from House of Fraser, Shavata. I have had them dyed once before but I really need to keep going as they look so much fuller and generally on FLEEK. Getting your brows dyed and threaded usually lasts about 3 weeks and costs around £30 but I totally recommend it! 

Proud Sister moment here, my brother, Robbie Kay has designed his own t-shirt ‘Saving the World’ in partnership with the Leukaemia and Lymphoma Society. You need to be quick though as the t-shirt is only available for 12 more days.

How to choose a new pair of glasses

Whist visiting my brother Robbie Kay in Toronto, Canada, my glasses literally split into two. I am not even sure how this happened I was playing with them while on Skype and boom no more glasses. They were quite old ones from Jai Kudo but they served me well.

It’s hard looking for the perfect pair of glasses I use mine for long distance, such as watching the TV or generally seeing signs that are a few meters away so this was an urgent situation and I only just realised how much I rely on my glasses. Smart Buy Glasses were at hand with 1,000s of pairs of designer glasses, a virtual try on simulator and the prices were pretty insane compared to the high street.

After scrolling through tons of different designs from Versace, Gucci, Ray Ban and Chloe it was a seriously hard choice. You can choose via a multiple of ways from cost, brand and style with aviator, round and even butterfly to have a look at. After whittling my options down to two a Tom Ford design and a Versace I decided to try out the virtual try on simulator which I have not used before (the image below shows the Versace ones). I decided to go for the Tom Ford ones I love my Tom Ford sunglasses and I fell in love with the purple colour and bold frame.

These glasses have a rectangle frame and are priced at £107.95 similar ones on another website are worth nearly £269 and you get 24 month warranty on lenses - what more could you want and I think I look pretty fabulous in my news glasses.
