WalG

22 May 2014
                           

Recently I was sent this jumpsuit from WalG, it's took me a while to get this post up because it's the first outfit post I've ever done and I was quite nervous to post this. 
WalG are a online store selling a range of women's fashion, they have gorgeous dresses and playsuits that would suit a range of different people. There delivery service is also amazing and very quick, with no hassle at all! 
This jumpsuit comes in a couple of different colours including Navy, Green and Black and is priced at £36.I'm genuinely in love with this, it's one of the most comfiest things ever! This is available I'm sizes small medium and large and I think would suit anyone as this band across the middle would draw attention to your waist.
You can also dress this up with a pair of heels and a statement necklace and clutch for the night or pair with sandals are some flats for the day. Overall I would definitely recommend purchasing from WalG if you want quality clothing with no hassle.

Fuse Gel Nail

11 May 2014
         

Fuse gelnamel is a new range by sensationail, this is a gel nail polish but this must be used with the UV light, you can buy the UV light in a starter kit which includes the light and one polish this is avaliable from boots and is £35. There are 12 different colours to chose from, the one I have above is the Elec-tric or treat, I think this colour is perfect for the spring and summer it's the perfect coral colour! 
I applied two coats to this but it is fine with just one! This is very easy to apply it does seem quite thick but that's probably because it's a gel consistency once applied it dries very quickly using the UV light and gives a glossy finish.
I haven't had it on for very long so I can't really comment if it lasts very long but I will definitely do an update! So far I love this the UV light does seem expensive but in the long run is worth it and I think the for £15 a bottle it's very reasonable co code ring this is gel nails. But so far I would defiantly recommend this anyone. 
Ill do an update soon! 
Let me know what you think!

Recipe 
I thought I'd share a recipe I made using these ingredients, I made one of my favorites, brownies using the Dr.Oetker dark chocolate I got in my Degusta box so here goes!
You will need: 
4 Eggs
65g Plain Flour
1 Tsp Backing Powder
80g Cocoa Powder
360g Caster Sugar 
200g Dark Chocolate 
250g Butter 

It's very simple to make these, I used Viviannas recipe she posted on her channel if you want to watch her video I will leave her link below, if you dont know who she is you should check her out.

Before you start preheat your oven to 180C
1. Add chocolate and butter together and melt (I used microwave) 
2. Then add all the dry ingredients together (flour, backing powder, cocoa powder and caster sugar) 
3. Then add the chocolate and butter mix to the dry ingredients 
4. Crack eggs in a separate bowl and wisk
5. Add eggs to the rest of the mix
6. Add to lined backing tin 
7. Leave in oven for around 35 minutes
8. Leave to cool for around 30 minutes


Here are two photos of what the mixture should look like once mixed and what it should look like when its in the backing tin.

First Impressions: Elegant Touch

7 May 2014
          

I've never done a first impressions before but I thought I would for this product as it's fairly new on the market and though it would be good to compare against when I've tried these out. 
Straight away I thought these were a fab idea, who wouldn't? The idea of perfect looking nails without any glue needed at all! Each pack contains 24 pre glued nails in 10 different sizes so should be prefect for everyone. This also comes with a prep wipe for before applying the nails and a handy nail file. 
These are applied In a Few simple steps: wash nails with soppy water, dry thoroughly and clean with prep wipe. Peel of the protective film and simply press them down on your nail. How easy does this sound? Personally I think this is just a fab idea, and I really hope that they live up to my expectations because these definitely sound like they are going to be a favourite product. 
The colours shown above are Polished Neon Chick and Trend Peach Ombré but the is a wide variety of colours for everyone! 
I will post a full review of these soon so be sure to keep a look out.

Grey Ray

4 May 2014


         

I very kindly got sent this stationary to review from the lovely people at Grey Ray.
This may look like a pen but it's actually a pencil, personally I think this is a fab idea! Surely I'm not the only one who's pencil is always snapping in my bag so this is the perfect solution, this comes I a variety of colours too but it just so happened that I got as this in one of my favourite colours! 
You may be wondering what the other things are, I was confused too. But this these are actually pencil caps, these are meant to protect the end of your pencil and stop them from snapping so these are another alternative to the other pencil and you get a lot of caps in one pack that are all different colours. 
Grey Ray are a company based in Thiland but the delivery was still so fast so I was very impressed by this. Grey Ray also have a number of other products that you should check out including sketch books. I would definitely recommend ordering from them of you love there products (which I'm sure you do) and you want great service!

Born Pretty Store

29 April 2014




Born Pretty store is a new website that I have discovered they sell a lot of different things but I particularly love the jewellery section they sell lots of rings which are $1 or 60p! Yes 60p, how cheap is that?! My favourite ring is this anchor ring shown above I think this is so cute and is so similar to rings I've saw whilst shopping and is no where near 60p! 

They also have a number of different necklaces which range from £2-4 and are so cheap considering the price you would pay in retail stores! One of my favourite necklaces on the website is the flower necklace shown above I think this would look perfect for spring summer to dress up and outfit and look so cute!

This bracelet is gorgeous in my opinion and i think it looks so much more expensive than it is, I think this would be the perfect statement with a outfit especially any plain outfits.This was around £3 which I think is a complete bargain!

They also offer fee shipping to the UK, so I seriously suggest you check them out as I think it is well worth the price and they are such a good website. 

I also have a 10% off code that you can all use: HYYT10

In The Navy

23 April 2014
         
                                                                  Bag: Primark
                                                            Shoes: Dorothy Perkins 

Just thought I'd share two of my new favourite things at the minute, as you can probably guess I'm a bit fan of navy! Firstly I got this bag from Primark this is a navy and white zig zag print and I just fell in love with his as soon as I saw this! This can be a clutch bag or this comes with a strap inside that you can also use which I think will be perfect for summer. This is also quite big inside which is always a bonus and I picked this up for £10 I think it's a Bargin! 
I got these shoes from dorothy perkins these say there black but I think it's slightly a navy blue colour when put with ethier colour I think it looks that colour and these have a white base but it isn't very thick which I think is good I think these were around £22 but I managed to get them when they had 30% so I got them for around £16 which I think is such a good price as I think they look quite expensive! 
I'm loving navy at the minute, let me know what your loving.

The Tuck Shop

21 April 2014


                                   

The Tuck Shop is a sweet shop based in Manchester selling American sweets and the good old Traditional sweets. They have recently launched there new website so I thought id talk you through the website.
I would recommend buying from this website (I'm not being payed or sponsored to say this) I  honestly think they have such a good selection of sweets available including my favourite american sweets: M&M's, Cheetos, Skittles and Twizzlers and my favourite Traditional sweets:  Pear Drops, Sour Cherries and Bon Bons.
The Tuck shop has a very simple and easy layout that is easy to navigate around, the menu system enables you to select the type of sweets you are looking for e.g. American or Traditional where you then are shown a number of different options within these categories such as Cereals, Hard sweets, Soft Sweets and Soda.
On the right hand side of the website there is then a simple navigation bar as shown above where you can login or create an account, checkout, view your basket, view your account, search the website and change your currency.  You are also able to pay via PayPal which is always a bonus. 
Overall I would recommend order from The Tuck Shop as there is a wide range of treats for everyone and can browse the website very easily.

Hangerworld Review

19 April 2014
                       
 I was very kindly sent a couple of products to review by Hanger World Ltd. Hangerworld offer a wide range of different hangers including: space saving hangers, childrens hangers, garment covers, home storage and accessories. 

(Left to Right) 

Black & White Polka Padded Hangers 
These come in packs of 1,5 and 10 and start at £4.50. These hangers are satin fabric and even have a little black bow on them! I think they are super cute I love them!  These are perfect for hanging dresses!

Wood Tie & Scarf Organiser 
 This can be used for ties or scarves so obviously I used this for my scarves. I think this is great because I can never find somewhere to store all my scarves! This has six hooks that are able to spin around allowing easy access. This is £5.65

Space Saving Vevlet Clothes Hanger
This is a black velvet hanger that is usually used for suits as you are able to put tie, pants and jacket on this hanger so is perfect for men or even womens suits. This is also space saving so is perfect for those who haven't got a lot of storage space. 

Solid Beechwood Clip Hanger
This is a simple hanger for skirts and trousers, this has adjustable clips making it perfect for anyone! This comes in packs of 1,10,20,30, 50 and 100 ranging from £2.95- £84.95.


Solid Beechwood Top Hanger
This hanger is a basic hanger to have but this has a non slip grip on it meaning this is good for that one item that will never stay on the hanger! These come in packs of 1, 10 or 20 and start from £2.50

Tanworx

13 April 2014
       

I was sent this tanning foam by the lovely Mono Skincare! 
I was sent this in Fair to Medium which is the perfect colour that looks very natural and doesn't look orange at all! I applied this with a tanning mit which helps to keep this even and the brown foam makes this very easy to apply as it's very easy to see where the tan is being applied, so one of the best things about this tan is it's easy application. 
This tan is also very long lasting and dosent rub off at all, so this is perfect for those who don't want to keep re-applying the tan. Also this dries very quickly so is good for those who are very impatient like me! 
Overall I think this tan is so good! I would recommend this to anyone. This is avaliable in two colours fair to medium and dark to very dark. Tanworx also have a number of other tanning products avaliable. 
This is avlaiable to buy from Monu Skincare :

Veronica's Snack

11 April 2014
        

Veronica Snacks is a company based in Ireland. They aim to provide healthy snacks that are still super tasty! These are now avaloable in a number of Tesco stores, so you should be able to pick them up. 

They have a number of different flavour avaliable including: sour cream & herb onion, Barbecue, Tomato & Spanish Paprika, Roat Garlic and Mixed Herb these are all organic and gluten free.
I got the Roast Tomato& Spanish Paprika and the Sour Cream & Herb Onion I personally prefer the Sour Cream Herb & Onion as these are a light flavour where as the others are a spicier flavour and tomato definitely stands out. Both of these are lovely flavours and i would recommend these for a light tasty snack.

Ted Baker Nails

5 April 2014

I was sent these lovely nail varnishes, so I thought Id review them as I think they are amazing. 
This duo called Ted's Sweet Shoppe has one sparkly polish called Champagne Sundays and one bright pinky colour called Sweet On You. Personally I love these polishes and think they are perfect for spring/ summer. 
Although I used two coats on this application, these are fine with just one coat. These also last a while and aren't easily chipped. 
Personally I like these used together as they make the perfect, cute combo.These are retailed at around £8.50 which I think is reasonable for two polishes. 

Let me know what you think and what your favorite spring/ summer polishes are.

Sheinside

26 March 2014
She Inside Must Haves!
All clothes: Sheinside

Sheinside have always been a very controversial place to order from with bloggers. After my recent experience with Sheinside i would recommend them to anyone! 
Here is a collection of some of my favorite items at the moment, firstly is the mint coat. These have been very popular with bloggers and this is a fraction of the price compared to other shops, this is only £27 and it would be perfect for spring.
These tops are so cute to wear with leggings, i would say more for autumn winter but these would also work with leggings throughout spring.
This coral blouse is perfect for spring i would love to have this addition to my wardrobe, especially for as little as £12, this really is a bargain and would be perfect to wear with jeans throughout spring. 
The coco made me do it is a very popular top and is one of those items which you dont really want to spend alot on as alot of people wouldn't wear this after its "gone out of fashion" and for as little as £11 you wouldn't feel like your wasting your money. Personally id love this to throw on with leggings or jeans.

Elegant Touch- rapid dry for nails
Elegant Touch- Envy Wraps
Ciate- Base Coat
Ciate- Top Coat

This elegant touch rapid dry spray for nail is one of the best things ive ever bought, if your impatient like me then this will be your new best friend! This literally leaves your nails touch dry in about one minute and it doesn't smell too bad either.
I found these elegant touch nail wraps on sale in boots for 75p! So i thought id give these a go, I love the pattern and colour of these and I think they will be perfect in summer/spring.
I love ciate nail varnishes so i thought it was about time I try these top and base coats, so far ive been really enjoying using them. The top coat really does make your nails alot shiny and glossier and defintley makes your nail polish last a lot longer. 

Aloe Lips


Aloe lips

I was sent this by the lovely Laura Pinks at laurapinks.myforever.biz, they sell a range of healthy natural products, so I would definitely check them out.
This lip balm promised to be a moisturising lip balm which it definitely was, this was so soft on the lips! It also promises to soothe chipped and dry lips, it didn't fail to do this. I was suffering from dry lips at the time and this definitely helped them.
I would highly recommend these and I can't wait to try more of their products

Office Haul

2 March 2014
                                                        
    Shoes: Office

These are the eavesdrop shoes, I purchased these before christmas I payed £48 for the black and got the burgendy in the sale for £26. I originally thought £48 was quite expensive for a flat pair of black shoes, but these have quite a thick sole and I can tell is going to last me a while! I'm so glad I bought these, they look so cute with skirts and dresses but also win jeans, I can imagine that some of the leather will come off but so far these haven't scratched. These are so so comfortable and I would recommend these. The burgendy ones are a sude material, these are my favourites as I love the colour! The only problem about these is that some of the suede has started to scratch and come off so I think ill have to get a suede cleaner. But overall I would definitely recommend these shoes! 

She inside haul

27 February 2014


All items: she inside

I was very atphensive when ordering from sheinside, I always seem to see bad review and people bad experiences. But I took the plunge and order anyway and I honestly don't know why there's so many bad complaints, I ordered and my order arrived within 10 days of being dispatched. 
Firstly I ordered this dress, I order a size small and I would say this is about a size 6/8 so about the right size and I love this dress it looks exactly the same as it did online. I love how this dress has long selves as I think this makes this dress look a lot nicer, this dress has a almost textured feel to it because of the pattern in this dress. 
Then we ordered these tops/ blouses in cream and black. These only come in one size and this would suit a range of sizes depending on whether you wanted a oversized or fitted look. This is very see brought so would look perfect with a little top underneath and even with shorts in the summer. Personally I like the black best because it suits a paler skin tone more than the cream.
Finally i got this necklace, I love this I think it would be perfect when wearing any plain outfits. 
Overall I would recommend she inside all I would say is don't expect the quality to be perfect you get what you pay for. 

Lip Care Collection

26 February 2014

   
                                                  
This is my collection of lip balms, these are all my favorite ones.

Lush Santa Scrub- I purchased this at Christmas, I've always wanted to try one of the lip scrubs from lush but I didn't seem to like any of the other flavors. These scrubs are definitely worth a purchase, they really help to keep your lips feeling refreshed and unlike anything else I've tried really does scrub your lips.

Fruity Lip balm- this is passion fruit, I think I got this from Avon a while ago and I tend not to use this one anymore as I find I have more that keep my lips a lot softer, although this does smell lovely.

Body Shop- this lip balm is mango flavored, this is one of favorites and one I will be definitely re purchasing. It's one of the best smelling, it smells amazing! It also does leave your lips feeling very soft. 

Fereza- I bought this in the airport in Spain last year I love these they come in loads of different flavor and smells, the smells are amazing in these, they can be overpowering but this is my overall favorite smelling lip balm. 

Hot lips- I've had this one for a while and this is is strawberry flavored, this isn't a very strong scent but this can feel quite greasy on your lips sometimes because of it consistency.  

Vaseline- I don't think I need to say anything about this but this one is my favorite Vaseline there is.

Jelly Bean- this is the tangerine flavored, I know I've said this about them all but this really does smell amazing! It isn't very soft and doesn't really keep your lips soft but does smell amazing!

Balmi- this is definitely one of my favorite lips balms this is the strawberry flavored on and this is so so soft and I think is my overall favorite of them all as it leave your lips so soft!

I would recommend out of all of these balmi and the lush lip scrub or if your going away definitely keep a look out for the Fereza lip balm!
