Berry white Drinks

10 November 2016



I was recently sent over some drinks from Berrywhite, if you haven't heard of them before they are a organic drinks company which contain no added sugar and nothing artificial with the moto of tasting good and being good for you. Each drink contains 50% real fruit juice and the best thing about this company is that some money from each drink goes to charity.

I was sent four drinks to review:

Sparkling Pomegranate & Blueberry 250ml can 
This one was very rich in colour, probably the most colourful of all. The smell from this drink is amazing so fruit and rich in smell, its also one of the most flavory of all the drinks as some do have a watery taste to them but this isn't one of them!

Sparkling Peach & Goji Berry 250ml can
This flavour was very sweet and very refreshing, the peach is very prominent but add some ice to this and it gives a amazing flavour. The only thing is this isn't very strong in flavour it feels almost water based, it is quite weak.

Sparkling Lemon & Ginger 250ml can
This is the most flavory drink of all the flavours, the lemon and ginger add a kick to the drink and give it a vibrant flavour but yet still very refreshing.

Sparkling Cranberry & Guava 250ml can/ 330ml bottle
This one was one of the most refreshing of all the drinks, it did taste watery with the added flavour of cranberry but it was very pleasant and refreshing perfect for the summer weather.

Berry white is available to buy from Ocado here. 




Magic Facial Mitt

8 November 2016





I was so intrigued by this Magic Facial Mitt, the magic part of this product is the fact you can use this mitt to take of your makeup without needing any makeup remover, simply just add hot water to this mitt and it removes makeup in a flash. 

Wondering how on earth it can be used without makeup remover? Well the fibres on this mitt are in a criss crossed pattern this allows for your makeup and any dirt to be trapped within the loops when the mitt is lifted of the face.

The product
The product itself is very cute the packaging is very vibrant and very girly. It currently only available from Amazon for £4.99 so very reasonably priced in my opinion. The delivery is very quick also which is a bonus with anything. 

The verdict
The mitt itself is very soft, and once put under warm water its even softer. I then used this to take off my makeup, which it did do very well. All my makeup came off reasonable easily and my face did feel nice and clean. The only thing is sometimes I did feel as though I was dragging the mitt across my face so it works best if you keep re wetting the mitt as its quicker to get rid of your makeup. Another thing I want to add is, I don't wear eye makeup so I can comment on what the mitt would be like to get rid of this, sorry!

Lipcote & Browcote Review

4 November 2016

lipcote, browcote, lipstick sealer,

lipcote, browcote, lipstick sealer,

lipcote, browcote, lipstick sealer,

lipcote, browcote, lipstick sealer,

I was recently sent both of these lipcote products and I was very excited to try them out, who doesn't want there lipstick to stay all day.

Lipcote is the original lipstick sealer that is meant to provide you will complete confidence in knowing your lipstick will stay firmly in place. It is priced at £3.99 and is meant to give you a satin matte top coat on the lips with a simple application which consists of brushing the lipcote product over your lips and keep your lips apart whilst they set. At first when I applied this to my lips, I did feel a slight tingle but that quickly stopped. I applied this over my usual Mac lipstick as I find that it stays on a while but fades gradually as I always notice lipstick marks around my cups and glasses. After I applied this I did find my lipstick stayed for a lot longer than usual which is a huge bonus.

Lipcote have now brought out a new product; Browcote a brow gel to keep your perfect brows in place all day long. This too like the Lipcote comes in small packaging handy for having in your handbag. Both available from boots; the Lipcote is priced at £3.99 and Browcote for £6.99. After trying the Browcote product  I really liked it, I felt like it set my brows in place and they stayed that way all day which was very impressive.

Both products are very easily applied and come in small packaging perfect for your makeup bag and for traveling. Also both products are very affordable and are available from boots.

Bath and Body Works Candles!

2 November 2016

Ive wanted to try Bath and Body Works candles for so so long so I was so exited to finally be able to get these to the UK using the shipping service My Mall Box, I got three different candles and two hand sanitisers. 




This is the Autumn Sunshine candle, first of all I love this the look of this candle its basically Autumn in a jar, the lid has a leaf imprint on it too which is adorable! This candle claims to smell like this 'Chilled Orange, California Mandarin, Golden Amber, Green Fir Needle' and it was very similar to this, it smells very orangey and fresh almost like fresh air but its not overly powerful scent which I like. 


Again this is a Autumnal candle called Crisp Morning Air, I love the look of this candle its very cute and its perfect for this season. This claims to smell like the following 'Crisp Fall Breeze, White Oak, Golden Amber Wood, Saffron, Soft Sandalwood'. This smells very fresh as if your walking through a park on a fresh crisp morning so quite a good match to its name really. 




This one isn't on the website anymore probably to make way for the Christmas candles but hopefully it will make a return in the spring/ summer season because this is on of my favourites. The packaging is so cute, it has the cutest design around the whole of the candle unlike most of there other candles. This candle is a very fresh, relaxing candle. It smells like your at the sea so it is more of summery scent. 




This candle is called A Thousand Wishes, this isn't a Autumn candle but it looked and sounded super cute so I thought I would pick it up anyway. This candle claims to smell like 'Warm your heart with a festive blend of sparkling champagne, crystal peonies & almond crème'. I have to admit this candle doesn't smell like I thought it would, although its meant to smell like peonies I didn't think it would be as sweet as it is because I have a other peonie candle and its not sweet. 




The shipping using My Mall Box is so simple, you simply register on the website where you are given your own personal American address where you can send your parcels to, so I just checked out as normal using this address. You then get a email from My Mall Box when they receive your parcel and you are prompted to go online and enter your address and select your shipping option. I didn't have a choice which shipping service I used because my parcel was so heavy as you can imagine for six candles in total, so I had to select DHL express service which cost me $60 which I know does seem expensive but this is purely because it was candles and weighed so heavy, if you were ordering something such as makeup you would be able to pick from a number of different delivery options some which are much cheaper. Once I had done this I simply checked out and that was it, I then recived a email when my parcel got dispatched from My Mall Box and this took around 2 days to be dispatched, once dispatched the parcel came within three days. All in all the whole process took around 10 days to come which I think is very good considering it came from America.

My Mall Box make the whole process simple and I would definitely recommend them to anyone look to ship products over from America.

I recently received two Nano B toothbrushes to review, for those of you who haven't heard of Nano B before they are online company selling toothbrushes. All of the toothbrushes are coach with either silver, gold, bamboo charcoal particles that helps to kill bacteria and prevent any bacteria growth on your toothbrushes. The last fact I love about these toothbrushes is that they are resistant to air borne bacteria which is a huge bonus as the bacteria that can get on your toothbrushes is truly disgusting as there are 10 million bacteria living on your toothbrush (how vile)!!

I for one think that these toothbrushes are super cute, I love the design of them it adds a nicer touch to our normally boring toothbrushes and at £7.99 they aren't too expensive either. They also come in a handy case which makes it easy to travel with, I've already taken this on my travels and its so much easier having this case to put it in.

The Konjac Sponge- Angel Face Facial Cloth

23 October 2016
The Konjac Sponge- Angel Face Facial Cloth

The Konjac Sponge Co, bamboo mask, charcoal

Ive heard about The Konjac Sponge Co for a while now so I was excited to try out one of their new sponges; The Bamboo Charcoal Angle Cloth. (Konjac is a medical plant from Asia)
The Konjac Sponge Company have a range of different sponges/cloths ones for men for after shaving, a nourishing heart puff sponge, baby sponges and also have travel kits.

What do they do?

  • Cleanse and exfoliates skin
  • Refines pores
  • Works without cleanser
  • Removes makeup
  • Leaves skin super soft


The Bamboo Charcoal Angle Cloth is perfect for anyone with oily skin, with the combination of Konjac plant fibre and charcoal powder this cloth provides a soft exfoliation and cleanse. You can use this product with or without cleanser as it works equally as well without, the charcoal draws out bacteria and dirt from you're pores. The cloth itself seems very hard and rough on first appearance but before apply to the skin you have to run the cloth under the water and the cloth becomes a soft almost jelly like texture that feels super soft on the skin.

I would definitely recommend these to anyone they are so gentle on the skin and are the perfect alternative to any other cloth as these cloths do much more than the ordinary cloth with no need to add any products to the sponge.

Gemporia- My Top 5 Picks

21 October 2016
gemporia, gemstones, white topaz, amethyst bridge stacking ring, dimond bangle, stacker rings,

Today I will be doing a post on Gemporia I will be featuring my top 5 favourite picks from  Gemporia If you've never heard of them before they are a online jewellery company that uses genuine gemstones to create beautiful jewellery thats in limited quantities. One amazing thing about this company is the fact they give back to charity's in-particular The Colourful Life Charity which is always a nice thing to see from a company your buying from.

gemporia, gemstones, white topaz, amethyst bridge stacking ring, dimond bangle, stacker rings,

 This first ring is one of my favourites from the whole website, this is the White Topaz Sterling Silver Set of 3 Stacker Rings. These are made with 0.25 of white topaz from Brazil, and I think you can really tell how luxurious this ring is as it it looks very expensive and looks like its made very well. This ring is made up of three individual rings so you can wear them on their own if you wish to create a lovely look as this ring would definitely add sparkle to any outfit. It is priced at £36.99 with the recommended retail price being around £100 so this ring is at a bargain price which is always a bonus.
gemporia, gemstones, white topaz, amethyst bridge stacking ring, dimond bangle, stacker rings,

This next piece is a gorgeous pair of earrings, these are called the White Topaz Earrings in Sterling Silver. I think these are just so pretty the shape is so classy and elegant and I think these would be perfect put together with a classy outfit for a nice occasion. These too are made from White Topaz from Brazil and the are priced at £49.99 with a RRP for £84.99 so again a great saving and they look so much more expensive than they actually are. These would also make the perfect gift for a girlfriend, wife, friend and even mum.  

gemporia, gemstones, white topaz, amethyst bridge stacking ring, dimond bangle, stacker rings,
Next is my favourite item of them all and one thats on my list to buy next because its so beautiful, this is called the White Topaz Sterling Silver Set of 3 Stacker Rings. This one is priced at £36 with a RRP of £100 so a saving of £64 which is huge, this ring is made from White Topaz from India. Again this set of rings come individually so can be worn separate but when worn together it makes such a lovely statement piece of jewellery that can be dressed up for fancy occasions or even just look amazing featured in a casual look.

gemporia, gemstones, white topaz, amethyst bridge stacking ring, dimond bangle, stacker rings,
 This is the Dimond Bangle in Sterling Silver 0.25, this is priced at £59.99 making it the most expensive piece out of them all but has a RRP of £299 so again it has a massive saving. This also features 1/4ct of diamonds from South Africa, how impressive. How amazing is this bangle though? I could just imagine wearing this with one if the rings with a lovely dress and the jewellery standing out and looking very classy and stunning. Again this would make the perfect gift especially with Christmas just around the corner this would make such a great idea. 

gemporia, gemstones, white topaz, amethyst bridge stacking ring, dimond bangle, stacker rings,


 Now this ring is a bit different for me but there is just something about it that draws me in, this is called the Amethyst Bridge Mini Stacking ring.  This is from the Bride collection which features a number of different coloured rings with different colour stones in them, these come in two sizes mini and maxi, maxi obviously being the bigger of the two. There are some really beautiful colours in the range including greens and blues. This one is the mini size and is priced at £23 which I think is pretty reasonable, I'm in love with this ring and many others from the collection, I would definitely recommend you check them out. 

Overall  Gemporia  is a great website for finding gorgeous pieces of Jewellery at such a good price so if you're looking for yourself or even for a gift I would definitely recommend you check them out.

Flo Accessories

flo accessories, atomiser, tweezers, led tweezers,

I recently got the opportunity to work with Flo Accessories, if you've never heard of them which I hadn't before working with them they are a travel and beauty accessories, they have some great little things including the light up tweezes, light up mirror and perfume atomiser. I was lucky enough to receive the perfume atomiser and the light up tweezers.

The first one I will talk about will the LED tweezers, I loved the idea of these straight away it means that you can see the hairs that you ordinarily wouldn't have or if your like me and uses your phone touch behind a mirror there is no longer a need for this. I have literally loved using these so far, I don't have anything bad to say but they are battery operated so you will have replace these every once in a while.

The other thing I received was the perfume atomiser, this has come in so handy already. I travel a lot to Ireland and only take a cabin suitcase so i cant bring my big bottle of perfume but in this case it means that I can transfer some of my favourite perfume into a smaller bottle. It comes with instructions on how to do this which is so simple it literally takes a minute. So yeah these are amazing and come in so handy.
