Spring favourites

These are the products I have been loving the most over the past couple of months. Each one of them has surprised me and I have had a good, positive experience with each of them.





Missha The Style Beautiful Tint - Moist Coral

I found out about this Korean make up brand from an Estonian fashion and beauty blogger Katrin (her blog), whose post about this lip tint inspired me to get one for myself. Their make up products are natural and this particular product feels very herbal on my lips. They use different flower complexes in their products and they contain natural vegetable dye. I love the colour and also how refreshing it looks on my lips.



  
Benefit The POREfessional PRO Balm Primer - 7.5ml sample size. 

PRO balm quickly minimizes the appearance of pores. It is a very silky and lightweight balm for translucent pore coverage and makes skin look smoother. I don't have very large pores but despite this I can say it evens the skin tone and makes it look cleaner. I tried to do a picture around my nose area, which is the most problematic for me. This product made me actually very interested in Benefit. I have heard a lot about them, so I will probably do a bit more research on which of their products would be good for my skin. 





Charles Worthington Strength & Repair Shampoo 

Mine is 75ml, which I bought quite a while back when I was traveling to Paris for a few days. I needed travel size beauty products, so I did a little shopping in the airport and as I never heard about it before I thought I would get it. I was not very impressed when I used this shampoo for the 3 days I spent in Paris. At the time I didn't properly try it to see what was good or bad about the product. About a week ago I did a little clean up of my beauty things and remembered this shampoo and thought I'd give it one more chance. I love it now and my hair as well! It leaves my hair so soft and silky and gives it a bit of volume too. Good thing I didn't throw it out!

  
L'Oréal Paris True Match Touche Magique Concealer

This is an anti-fatigue and illuminating concealer which helps to visibly improve the appearance of dark circles and fine lines, leaving the delicate skin around the eye area looking radiant and smooth. It is my absolute favourite. You can get it in 6 different colours, mine is deep beige. It is maybe a bit too dark for my skin, I ordered it online so I didn't really get the opportunity to see if it properly matched my skin tone. I'm considering buying a new concealer soon and probably will stick with the same one, only maybe a bit more of a natural colour. I love the content of this product and it looks great on my skin, it doesn't leave it oily or too powdery.


 

BlanX Whitening Toothpaste
  
I got a sample size of BlanX from a Love Me Beauty box a couple of months back and absolutely loved it! It is super gentle on my teeth and I like it because it does not leave a strong toothpastey smell and taste in my mouth. My dentist also recommended it and even though it is a bit pricey I will definitely continue using it.

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

OOTD - The sun has come out!

It has been such a long time since my last fashion post, I've been missing them so much! The second the sun came out, Tristan and I went to the canal and took a few pictures. I think it is still too early for sunglasses but a light jacket is okay when you wear a jumper underneath (Primark) and a cosy leopard print scarf (Linea Cashmink) around your neck.  My black Veromoda jacket and shoes are both from Best Secret. You'll all know by now how much I've been raving about it. I think it is an amazing place for online shopping. I love the copper detailing and the simple look on my jacket, plus it's super lightweight. My trainers are by Puma & Alexander McQueen (click here to read my previous post). I also just noticed that I don't have any good shots of my Michael Kors bag, which I absolutely adore by the way! I'm sure everybody knows how beautiful these bags are so I think this will do for now. The bag and scarf were both Christmas presents fr...
