The Whimsical Fashion Colouring Book Review

19 February 2017






The Whimsical Fashion Colouring Book by Natasha Itzxovitz

Natasha Itzxovitz is a London based fashion designer who sells fashion, accessories and artwork so clearly has a passion for fashion hence this colouring book full of 100 hand drawn designs. There is drawings inspired from the likes of Marie Antoinette and Jane Austen. 

I  love a adult colouring books they are perfect for when your feeling stressed and want to wind down and relax as it helps to take your mind off everything and just go back to the days of being a child colouring in when you had no worries. 

This one is truly amazing, the drawings are beautiful each and everyone of them are unqinly designed inspired by fashion through the ages!  You can tell how much work has gone into each of the designs which is just amazing, it must of took forever to make this book! 

 This makes the perfect little gift for one who's feeling stressed and you want to cheer them up, especially any fashion lovers out there as they will really appreciate each and everyone of the designs. 

You can find this book at WHSmith here.


Juicy Fuel Cola Review

13 February 2017



Juicy Fuel Cola is a juice made by The Juice Shed Company which started in 2007. The cola is made using real fruit juice in two flavours normal cola and cherry cola and is 100% craft cola. With absolutely no preservatives, no e-numbers, no added sugar and no added sweeteners these are amazing for someone like me who always drinks fizzy drinks. First of all I love the packaging the bright colours make these stand out and I love the tall slim packaging too with each can containing 250ml.

So here is what i though of the two flavours:

Cola 
This one is surprisingly similar to coke itself a bit more fruity as to be expected, one thing I loved about this is it didn't feel quite as gassy as normal coke does which is always a benefit as theres nothing worse when its too gassy but at the same time it doesn't loose its fizzy very quickly meaning it doesn't go flat which is a bug bearer for me so Im very happy about this,

Cherry Cola
This one tastes more like cola than the other one but has a strong taste of grape too, the fruit is very prominent in this flavour. Although the do taste like fruit they are still fizzy like coke but so much more refreshing I could imagine drinking these in the sun and it being perfect!

They are available from the following stores: Tesco, Morrisons, Booths, Sainsburys, Waitrose and ASDA.

T-Zone Skincare review

5 February 2017

This T-Zone range by Newtons Labs is a spot and blemish fighting range as they include antibacterial to rapidly remove spots and blemishes. The range has a RRP of £3.99 - £4.99 so is very affordable. The products are readily available in a number of stores including: Superdrug, B&M, Bodycare and Home & Bargains. 

T-Zone Spot Zapping Gel
This gel cooling and quick drying gel aims to prevent spots and blemishes, infused with tea tree oil and witch hazel it aims to get to work in four hours. This gets applied directly to your spot or blemish in the morning and night time. So far from using this I feel like it doesn't necessarily completely remove the spot from your face but after applying it the same day you do notice a reduction in the size and redness and overall it left my spot just looking not as noticeable which I'm definitely not complaining about. 



T- Zone Nose Pore Strips
These pore strips aim to unclog and pores, blackheads and whiteheads whilst also preventing spots. 
These are by far my favourite product of the bunch, I applied it to the nose area after wetting my face to ensure it stuck and left on for ten minutes after the ten minutes I removed the strip with little effort. In the corners it can be a little hard to pull away but I experienced very minimal pain which was so worth it. The results from this are amazing you can se afterwards on the pore strip white and blackheads that have been removed which makes me feel so much better and I will definitely be adding this into my weekly skincare routine. 


T- Zone Blackhead Facial Scrub 
This scrub works to deeply clear blackheads, pores and dead skin cells by using tea tree to overall make the skin look smoother and prevent future spots. Firstly this is a great price so affordable and it really works, you can feel the little beads in the scrub that help to remove the dead skin cells from your skin so leaves your skin feeling so nice and fresh.


T-Zone Antibacterial Cleanser 
 This cleanser helps reduce shine and tighten pores whilst taking away dirt and leaving your skin nice and fresh and again helps the prevention of spots. This does what it says its meant to, it removes all the dirt from your skin making it nice and fresh. I feel like it has made me have less breakouts but that is only when I use the product everyday so if this is something your looking to do make sure you add it into your nightly skincare routine. Although it does contain tea tree and does have a strong smell of this so if this is not something you like id give this a miss.


Overall I'm really impressed by the products, there so affordable and genuinely have some amazing results, I cant wait to try out more of their products.

Have you ever tried them?



Emma Hardie- Bright Time Essentials

28 January 2017

So I managed to grab myself a bargain with this set at christmas I got the set on sale from £50 to £29 which is a bargain as I had wanted to try these out for some time I had to get my hands on them. This set comes with four products and the cloth to go with it aswell as the bag which is always handy.


Moisture Boost Vit+ C Cream


"A vitamin enriched day cream that helps to uncover your skins natural radiance. A pure blend of Vitamin B3 and time-released Vitamin C reduces the appearance of dark spots and promotes healthy collagen production, leaving the skin looking brighter, clearer and more even as well as helping to reduce the visible signs of ageing. "


The first thing I loved about this product is the fact that it has vitamin c in it. This cream is quite a rich, thick cream which personally I like because I have eczema so its perfect to moisturise my skin. Again with this product it leave my skin feeling nice and soft, refreshed and overall looking so much brighter quite instantly really!


Moringa Cleansing Balm & Cloth
"Award winning Moringa Cleansing Balm is a balanced daily cleanser that thoroughly cleanse deep in the pores, moisturises and calms all skin types"


This balm is my favourite of all the products, I have very dry skin and this honestly leave my skin feeling so soft and revitalised. The scent of this product is gorgeous and the texture is amazing it feels so soft even when you first put it on your skin. The oils help to make your skin feel relaxed and I have noticed I have less pores after using this for three weeks. The only thing I wish about this product is that I got a bigger size in the set as I'm deffintley going to want to re purchase this once I've finished this tub. 


Vitamin C Intense Daily Serum
"A super charged Vit C Serum, that helps brighten the skin and helps reduce dark spots and pigmentation. The time released Vit C, helps promote collagen synthesis, leaving the skin looking brighter and clearer."

This serum is lovely, it feels runny but its not a bad thing because a little does such a long way with this product. This is applied under you're moisturiser and it seems to even out my skin a lot and make it much brighter in general. I would definitely recommend this product and I think it works well with the moisturiser. 



Brilliance Oil

"Brilliance Facial Oil is a light-weight, multi-active everyday facial oil complex, containing 9 essential oils of Palma Rose, Orange, Mint, Vanilla, Geranium, Camomile, Lemon, Rose and Lavender that help to condition, hydrate and smooth the skin's texture."

This is the thing I have used least in this set mainly because I actually struggle to get it out the bottle for some reason I don't know if anyone else has this problem or if it is just me. But from what I have used of this product i do really like it, although I've seen people say this is great for eczema so I want to give this a good try and see what I think of it!
