Missguided X Barbie
I was quite apprehensive when I first saw that Missguided were collaborating with barbie, is wearing something with barbie written all over it a bit tacky? Is it giving off the right messages? Does it go against feminism, is it pro-feminism, I don’t know, make of it what you will, but it’s fun, and it’s shamelessly girly and pink and I love it.
The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2%
I know I keep promising a full review on these products and it will come (I want to give it a considerable amount of time to actually judge the effects properly) but I introduced the second ‘The Ordinary’ product I had bought, and I’m seriously impressed! Although right now it hasn’t managed to get me through my worst time of the month spot free (that seriously would have been a miracle, I breakout BADLY during this time) it has still helped, and before that my skin had been spot free! Watch this space.
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard: Double Rich Chocolate
I have tried soooo many protein powders and I have been using myprotein for the past couple of years as it is very low cost and student friendly, but I really do have a problem with the taste. I tend to love it every time I start a new flavour, but then after a while it just makes me gag and I just can’t use it anymore, and this has happened with EVERY flavour, and it’s probably just me but I finally gave in and purchased some Optimum Nutrition. This is the protein I had when I first started going to the gym and having protein shakes and I literally used to look forward to it, it was a substitute for actual chocolate and it made me so much more motivated to get in the gym so I could have it! It is more expensive, 900g is around £24 depending on where you buy it from, but it is worth it, immediately I’m so much happier to drink it and more motivated to try and keep a healthier diet knowing I’ve got it, so overall I’m happy 🙂
GIANT Mugs
I don’t understand what the point in a small mug is? And who decided where the lines go on a kettle that decipher how many cups you should be getting out of that amount of water, because when the kettle says 3 it means 1 if you’re using a normal sized mug. I don’t actually drink black tea or coffee, I only really like green and herbal teas, and I only started drinking green tea to try and boost my metabolism, so I want to get the full benefit of that tea bag and get as much down me as possible! I went to Cornwall with my family recently and we went pottery painting at The Craft Box in Penzance, and I painted this HUGE mug (if you ever go be prepared to be there for the day, it took me 5 hours), but it’s great, the bigger the better, perfect for lazy mornings or curling up on the sofa after work.
UD All Nighter Foundation
See last blog post basically, but I’d probably go as far as saying this is the best foundation I’ve ever used. I’m going to keep on going on about it because it’s so rare you find a new product that you’re genuinely amazed by, and I honestly think everyone needs this in their life, whether its just for the odd night out, or everyday use.
AW Season Corset/Lace Up Trend
This was another trend I was not a fan of for quite some time, but I feel like after moving into AW 17/18 it has become a little more tasteful and subtle, which has made me actually start to really like it!! These Topshop jeans are my life right now, definitely my favourite recent purchase, and here are some more of my top picks right now, keep your eye out for new pieces as we’re finally into full transition phase, and who doesn’t love autumn clothes?!
