Samsung S3 - Fisheye Lens

Yesterday , me and my sister decided last minute that we will take a trip to London, as we had not visited Walthamstow market & Oxford street in a long while. Last week I received my Samsung S3 Fish eye lens from Three Mobile , so I was excited to take it with me on this unplanned trip to test out.

A fisheye lens is a wide angle lens that allows you to produce strong distortion on images to create an ultra wide panoramic view. It is perfect if you want to take action images or close up focused images of items while still being able to retain a full picture.

The conversion lens for the Samsung S3, comes with a dark grey translucent back cover which easily snaps onto your phone handset so it will not fall off, it fits perfectly around the camera so you can still make use of the flash which is perfect for those night time shots. Once the case is securely on the phone,  the lens can be screwed onto the back cover and presto you can snap away until your heart is content!

To protect the lens, the pack comes complete with 2 clip on lens covers,  to keep the lens free from dirt or dust when not in use.

 

The fish eye lens retails for approximately £24.99 , which although seems pricey, it is definately worth the price as the effect and quality are second to none; also it is easily portable and is a great acessory for your mobile. Personally, I have always wanted a fish eye lens to capture those scenic moments on the move, so I will be taking it on my winter sun Christmas getaway to Gambia, Africa.

Peace, Love & Besos

Afro Hair & Beauty Live 2013

On May Bank Holiday weekend last week,  Sunday 26th marked the arrival of this years , Afro Hair and Beauty Live. I couldn't have been anymore excited as we got presented with complimentary VIP tickets to be VIP bloggers for our favourite haircare brand ORS (formally known as Organic Root Stimulator). 

For those who've never attended, We thought we would provide you with a brief description of the event that has been in continuation for 31 years.

1. Incredible natural hairstyle inspiration from exhibitors and visitors.
2. Discovery of emerging talent from fashion, beauty, skincare and more
3. Impeccable fashion show showcasing an mixture of fashion designers
4. Workshops , seminars and demonstrations from experts and haircare giants explaining use of products correctly and how to care for your hair
5. Freebies, so many exhibitors hand out freebie samples to trial and if you purchase then you get even more
6. Discounted products compared to high street prices.

When we arrived, we decided to check out the ORS VIP Bloggers lounge, where we met Stacey who briefed us on the re-branding of ORS and their new future blogger programme which uses bloggers to help introduce and promote the ORS brand to the public.

 
The Bloggers lounge was cute, although it was not as exclusive as we wanted, but Stacey informed us that they did try, and hope that next year it will be bigger , better and more exclusive for the bloggers *I guess that's an incentive to return next year*. We also got given a goody bag with free samples and other trinkets.

Of course the first stand we decided to check out was ORS *which seemed to have downsized this year. We didn't buy as much as usual as we still have a lot of products from last years AHBL haul, so this year was more of a top up on our products.

Unfortunately, because we arrived later than we originally planned, we did not get to see the shows or attend any of the masterclasses. Although we did watch the Barbers competition, as they all competed to create intricate designs in approximately 30 mins.

We also saw some great upcoming talented fashion designers, combining the beautifully vibrant African print fabric with Western fashion designs. I was fascinated by the huge selection of clothing, African prints, accessories and jewellery from Online retailer Sapelle and Tore Collections.

All in all the Afro Hair and Beauty Show 2013 was good, however compared to last year the focus did seem to be more on curl defining products rather than natural organic products. After a long day of admiring the new products we went out to eat at our favourite Chinese buffet, which seems to be our annual tradition now.

What did you think of the Afro Hair and Beauty Show 2013?
