Bondi Sands Everday Tanning Milk: Review

I have extremely pale skin and am fond of a bit of fake tan. However, I usually end up patchy or orange. I have found even with gradual tans that it always becomes patchy (this may be my application). However, I have now found the holy grail of all tanning products. Bondi Sans everyday tanning milk has been a lifesaver. It has a really gorgeous glowy colour that looks like a completely natural tan and can be applied so smoothly. I have been using for three weeks every day when I have got out the shower and it has given me the perfect all over glow.

I did find however, that when I went to stay with my mum for the weekend and forgot to bring it with me that it did start to go patchy so it does need to be used every day.  It is not a chore to put on as it goes over the skin smoothly and smells delicious so much so that I look forward to putting in on where in other cases I honestly just didn't put in the effort. You also don't get any orange bits in between your fingers! WIN!

I bought it from Superdrug on offer for £7.99 but I think it is back to its original price of £11.99 which is still great value for money. I have about a quarter of the bottle left which means I used three-quarters in 3 weeks which I think is pretty good. I really recommend anyone gives it a go, especially as we are starting to see a bit of sun now in the UK!

The Intern

I recently watched 'The Intern' starring Robert Deniro and Anne Hathaway. I have always loved a feel good film nothing makes me feel better than curling up with a cup of tea and watching a real feel good film.

A quick synopsis of the film for those of you who are not familiar of the film: Anne Hathaway's character has started up her own business on her own and it has become hugely successful as it has expanded. The company think of trying something different and hiring a senior citizen intern. This is where Robert Deniro comes in, he is a widower who still enjoys getting up in the morning and being productive. When he sees an advert for this internship he decided to give it a go. Anne Hataway is not thrilled to be given a senior to work with but soon grows to love him as does the audience. To have that much aspirations at 70 is so inspiring to see.

One of my favourite things in this film is the true friendship you see between this unlikely to people and they have both had their hard times as we see throughout the film and they help each other get through it and it really is such a heart warming film and I would highly recommend it to anyone especially if you need so uplifting.

LF Loves - February's Look Fantastic Beauty Box

I know I am a bit late on this one but here it is- February's Look Fantastic Beauty Box. This month's box revolved around valentines as it is the month of Love it had all things you need for a perfect Valentines Day.

1. First of all was the Monuspa relaxing Bali massage and body oil. This feels so nice on the skin, it's perfect for if you have dry skin I used it on my legs which get quite dry in the winter and it did wonders. It can also be used to massage seeing as it is valentines and it glides so smoothly and has the most relaxing scent. I would never really think of buying something like this but I am definitely going to re purchase once I have finished it.


2. Next up is one of the best body butters I have ever used. I love the body shop body butter and have done for years but sometimes it just feels much to think and isn't very good if you are in a rush as it takes a while to spread evenly on your body. This 'Bliss' Pink Grapefruit and aloe body butter, however, is amazing. Firstly the scent, I love anything with a grapefruit scent so it is doing well from the outset. It is more like a moisturiser than the body shop body butters as it glides on the skin a lot easier however it is just as moisturising as it would be from a thicker substance. Also, the size is perfect for a night away as it is in a compact tube and makes you skin feel like silk!


3. This next product I was very excited about. I always like to try new things on my brows so when I saw this 'Hi Impact Brows' kit I couldn't wait to try it. I personally prefer a pencil to a powder however I have been using the powder to fill in the middle of my brows and a pencil to get the shape and it actually stays on all day. It can also be used as a contour palette which I have used it for every day since I received it. The colours are perfect for contour as they are quite dark and not too warm and I have been having compliments on my contouring ever since I started using it so I would definitely recommend this. Additionally, it's full size!


4.  Now we are onto the lip product of the month which is the Lord and Berry Matte lipstick Pencil. I never usually use lip products I don't know why I just prefer to have natural lips. This is why I like this product because it doesn't feel as though you have anything on, it is quick and easy to apply and it is a lovely neutral shade so it is perfect for days when you don't want to wear a lot of makeup but still look as though you have made a bit of an effort. Also, it is perfect for a date night as if you do have a cheeky kiss it doesn't smudge or come off at all!


5.  Next up is a handbag essential a mini Denman hairbrush! This is perfect to keep in your bag if you are going on a date or going clubbing. Unfortunately, for me, I have quite curly hair that if you brush it when dry you end up looking as though you have been electrocuted! However, it would be useful when my hair is straight and for anyone else that likes to brush their hair on the go.


6.  The last product was  KMS colour vitality conditioner. I dyed my hair purple earlier this month so was in need of a colour protection conditioner and its purple conditioner! It is not very good if you have thick tangled prone hair like me, so I use my Tresemme conditioner first to get out all the tangles and then I do a second conditioner with this and it leaves my hair silky soft. If you have thinner hair that doesn't tangle easily you would be fine using this on its own. My colour has faded slightly but it has been about three weeks so I would expect it to fade slightly but I can still see a hint of purple.

If all of that was enough there was also a full Elle magazine included to read as you have a pamper!

That is everything I got in this months Look Fantastic box and I will let you know what I get in March's (MY BIRTHDAY MONTH)

Hope You all had a fab weekend

Welcome Back!

I adore reading blogs. I love reading something from someone else's thoughts and finding out what other people are finding interesting or loving at the moment. The same way as many people love reading books which of course I do also but reading blogs is one of my favourite past times.

This brought me to think if other people feel the way I do about blogs then I should give them the chance to read mine and get that same excitement that I get. Over the last few years, my life has got a lot more hectic as I am now in my final year of University! (How did that happen!?) This has resulted in me being a bit lazy towards my blog and in fact just neglecting it.

However I am going to try my best from now on to keep you all updated and give back some of the pleasure I find reading blogs and hopefully some of you will feel the same about mine.

Stay Happy

John Frieda- Precision Foam hair dye.

As the autumnal months are upon us, I thought it was time for a change in both beauty and fashion.

After having ombre hair for the best part of 3 years I though it was time to change it up. I opted for a more natural brown (dark natural brown to be precise).

When looking through the copious amounts of hair dye i was completely overwhelmed not knowing which one to pick. Eventually I decided on the 'John Frieda precision foam home hair dye', which turned out to be a smart move. They have a wide range of hair colours - 20 in fact. As I said previously I went for the Dark natural brown, which is very dark sort of a browny black colour.

Now, I had never used a foam hair dye before however it was so easy to use. Starting from the routes you massage it into your hair in circular motions.The dye comes out really dark which means it is easy to see which parts are covered and which are not you then carrying on massaging around the head until you have all over coverage. You get a lot of dye from the box and it suggest to use only half for short hair but if you have long hair like myself you should use the whole bottle. After leaving on for half an hour you rinse out and use the John Frieda conditioner which is so good. My hair has never felt in such good condition and after using a hair dye.

I highly recommend buying if you do want to change up your hair colour exspecially as we are changing seasons.

Moschino SS15 at Milan Fashion Week

Jeremy Scott has done it again! He has managed to top his previous McDonalds and Spongebob line with barbie themed Moschino at last night's show in Milan

In every seat was a boxed Moschino Barbie and a
hand held mirror Iphone case following up Jeremy Scott's previous cartoon rubberised McDonald's case.  Jeremy Scott is in no way toneing it down and rightly so! His taste in popular culture is clearly working as all of his garments and accessories are selling and fast!

Scott literally created living dolls, the platinum blonde wigs placed perfectly, legs and arms were sheened to the max to create a 'plastic' look as they all totted down the runway.

The first half of the fifteen minute show was predominantly bubblegum pink, as barbie should be! We even saw model Charlotte Fee rollar blade down the runway  replicating roller barbie. Of course the runway soundtrack was Aqua's 'Barbie Girl' what else could it be!?

By far the best was saved to last with the 80s inspired metallic polka dot dress with iredesent  ruffles! Which highly resembles the real deal worn by barbie herself.

In addition to Marc Jacobs' 'Dream House' shoes is Barbie officially  making a comeback? Let's just hope that Scott's BFF Miley Cyrus incorporates some Moschino barbie in to her everyday attire!

My Christmas Wish List

This year will be my first christmas as an adult. Don't get me wrong growing up is a blast, you have more freedom, you start to discover who you are and you are more independent than ever. However when asked what I wanted for christmas from friends or family I was stumped, all I could think of was money for books, food, going out etc. However through deep consideration I have compiled a wish list of things that would be good to find under my tree or maybe even things I can purchase with christmas money. feel free to ask for some of these yourself or grab them in the christmas sales! 

Nike Air Max 

After trying a pair on in urban outfitters I instantly fell in love. They are unbelievably comfy and look so cool too. Due to the raised platform they make your legs look long and slim and you can dance all night. I am a big fan of raves which is at least 6 hours of non stop dancing so this will be perfect for them. They aren't the cheapest of shoes but they are durable so will last a long time. This is my favourite pair I have found so far but I am still scouting. This are in office  and retail at £94.99 which is cheaper than getting them from nike themselves. There are so many different designs to choose from and the prices vary for all but I cannot recommend these enough and definitely will be grabbing a pair in January. 

Marc by Marc Jacobs Holographic Wallet

I actually stole this idea from my housemate who loves all things holographic and has converted me. This purse is gorgeous and can brighten up an everyday outfit and add a bit of shine to a dull day. The downfall is it retails at £140 on Net-A- Porter. However fear not I have found a dupe at river island...

It may not be the real deal but it does retail at a mere £15. This means you can have a holographic purse and have more money in it. This is definitely on my christmas list, may be pushing it to add the Marc Jacobs one. But this can be in almost anyones budget even i it means not going out one week it will be worth it for when you do and get compliments on your new purse. 

Fairy Lights

Yes, fairy lights. My room in my house share isn't the largest of rooms and my 2014 mission is to make it somewhere I can relax, blog, do uni work. One of the things I have wanted in my room since I was young is fairy lights. With my room being so small fairy lights will make it cosy and brighten up the place. I am yet to find the perfect set so if anyone knows anywhere or even sells them themselves let me know. 

I think that is the three main things. I can finally start feeling christmasy now my fashion moment deadline is complete. I look forward to drinking hot choc, wrapping presents and watching Elf. Hope everyone is feeling a little christmasy now too, seeing as its only 2 weeks away! Where has this year gone!?

Stay cool
