Prom Season Is Approaching...

Hello guys...

It's almost April which means we're coming to the end of a school year soon and then it's prom! My prom was in June and I know how long it took to plan and organise so making sure you have the perfect prom dress, makeup and hair style is essential!

If I could re-do Prom, I'd definitely change my dress now that I look back, a website that I would have considered if I knew about it back in 2013 would have been Simple Dresses, Simple Dresses is a dress website which sells Prom dresses, Wedding dresses, Bridesmaid dresses and so much more on one website. Whilst browsing through the website, every dress I have fell in love with, has been so reasonably priced too!

2 of the dresses I found and would love to bought if I could re-do prom are:

Mermaid Prom Dresses

This style of dress is definitely a personal fave, the whole Angelina leg out style is always a good thing. The black with the lace really works for me, I hate my arms but quite like my legs so having the arms covered and a leg out would be my ideal dress. I find that with this dress you could probably wear it to more than one event too. 100% love it.

This dress is US$ 147.99 and comes in a range of colours. 



The next dress I loved are the Two Piece Prom Dresses


As a prom dress, this would not be something that I would usually go for, but I thought that this particular style and design is quite unusual to wear to an event such as Prom and not many others would have it. My favourite part about this dress is the colours. If you are not the type to wear a ball gown style dress or don't enjoy getting overly dressed up, this type of dress would be for you.

This dress is US$ 163.99 and comes in a range of colours.

For more information on the dresses visit  www.simple-dress.com

I hope that if your prom is coming up, you make the right decision and the best decision when it comes to your dress, go for what you like not what other people would like. I'd love to hear about your prom, leave a comment below telling me about it.

Lime Crime Review...

Hello guys...

I know it's been a while, sorry about that. But today I am back with a review! This review is on "Lime Crime" which is an American brand, the brand sells makeup products and hair products.
First of all, can we take a moment to appreciate the packaging of the box, opening and seeing the layout and design, really cheered me up big time.


As you can see, I ordered three products from Lime Crime, two of the Velvetines lipsticks and the glitter for eyes.

The first product I chose was the lipstick in shade "Wicked", I have found that this lipstick is in fact quite messy when applying and stains really well which is a plus if you don't enjoy reapplying regularly. When trying out this product for the first time, I found that the feel of the lipstick is dry when it sets, this is because of how matte the finish is. If you aren't used to a matte lipstick, it will be quite a strange experience on your lips. 


This product cost £13.31 but there is currently a sale on.

The next product I purchased was another Velvetines in the shade "Cashmere". If you are a huge fan of the grey lip look, I highly recommend this. This lipstick has a purple tone to the grey too which stops from making you look washed out. 



This product cost £13.31 but there is currently a sale on.

The final product I purchased was the Lime Crime glitter in the shade Ophiuchus. This glitter highly pigmented and can cause quite the mess when you are using it. I decided to go for this shade because I thought it would go with any shadow look that I was going for. 


This product is no longer on the website unfortunately. 

Overall, I am very pleased with my purchases at Lime Crime, the delivery took 4 working days even though it came from America which I was overly joined with. I will definitely be visiting this website again!

Somatoxtea...

Hello guys...

(This week I am uploading a mid-week review to get the word out on a product that I am going to be trying out over the next two weeks, hopefully I will be uploading this weekend as normal also!)

this week's blogpost is a slight review put more of an informative post about the product. I was lucky enough to be sent a package from Somatoxtea and I received the skinnytox tea. These tea bags are to help detox and to loose weight, I use detox teabags quite regularly by different brands and Somatoxtea was one that I had never tried so I was very excited when I received the product. With this product you get 14 day skinnytox tea bags and 7 night time ones, as you can imagine, you drink the day time ones every morning for 2 weeks and then the night time ones are every other night.

(£21.99)

The ingredients for the morning tea is: Goji Berry, Garcinia Cambogia, Senna Leaf, Lotus Leaf, Pu' erh Tea Leaf, Burdock Root, Sencha Green Tea and Lemongrass.
The ingredients for the evening tea are: Senna Leaf, Roselle (Habiscus), Liquorice Root, Chamomile, Lotus Leaf, Fennel Seed, Rhubarb Root and Peppermint Leaf.

I'm not going to lie and say that this tastes nice because the taste isn't good at all but the taste is definitely enough to put up with in order to loose weight in such an easy way.

I am currently day 3 and night 2 into my weight loss tea and I can already start to feel the difference. With these teabags, I am eating a lot healthier, not snacking but I'm also not exercising other than going on walks with my dogs (the usual).
I do not drink these teabags within a huge mug, I simply find a small cup and use the same cup throughout the detox.

Considering I have only been using these tea bags for a few days, I feel like they are already starting to work to some extent.

(These photographs are from a morning teabag.)

I believe that these teabags are reasonably priced for the job they do and they do not involve any hard work (unless you class putting the kettle on as hard work).

To purchase the tea or any other products by this brand go to : www.somatox.com

I look forward to hopefully uploading a post on my progress with this company and the 14 day skinnytox.

What weight loss teas do you live by? Have you tried somatox before?

Mr.Bean Review...

Hello guys...

this week I was lucky enough to be sent a product for me to review. This product is the Mr Bean Coffee Bean Scrub. As you'd expect, this product smells very much like coffee. I am not a lover of coffee but I actually didn't mind the smell.

The packaging of this product was very nice and just the way you'd expect a bag of coffee beans to be and the inside of the box had a little message on that really made me laugh.  


The Mr.Bean coffee scrub is to be used whilst the skin is wet or damp whether that being whilst in the shower or bath or simply just by washing your face and wanting to use the scrub. On the back of the packet, it warns that you should not let the coffee scrub touch your eyes but if it does, wash out immediately. 
As soon as I opened the packet, I was very intrigued by the scrub. I think that the scrub has a very similar look to soil which some people may find weird. 


I showered and then whilst my skin was still wet, I used the scrub on my legs and my arms. I suffer from psoriasis which means that I have very dry patches on my arms but by using this, it really helped and made them feel extremely smooth. After 5 minutes I washed off the scrub. This was a very messy task and I got coffee scrub all over my shower and the walls. After washing it off the whole bathroom smelt of the scrub and it was great. I decided to put the coffee scrub on my face after I had been in the shower so that I knew where I was putting it. 
(I have included a picture of the scrub on my face and I apologise for how bad I look). 


Once again, after about 5 minutes, I washed off the scrub and my face felt so smooth to the point that I found myself stroking my face all night! 

Overall, I find this scrub very good, it does exactly what it says and I will definitely be purchasing this product again once I run out of coffee beans.
