Asos - plus size range

Asos is a global fashion and beauty online store which sells well known branded and self branded products which are aimed for fashion forward people in their twenties and thirties. They provide a wide range of clothing for both men and women and have a plus size range for those with voluptuous curves. As a plus size 23 year old female I found it difficult to find clothes in my size and that were up to date with the current fashion trends. That was until I discovered Asos which is my current favourite online clothing store. Asos has a plus size range which they call Curve and the sizes range from a UK 18 to a UK size 28. Their plus size range allows me to have clothes which are fashion forward and made to fit my curves beautifully. The only down side to Asos is their prices. I find a lot of their clothing to be quite expensive which makes it difficult for a lot of people to purchase anything from the website on a regular basis. Apart from their prices, I cannot fault the store or the brand and I think it is worth taking a look at the website to see for yourself how good the online store really is.

My Skin Care Routine 2014 + L'Oreal skin perfection range review

I was never really big in to skin care until recently. The more blogs I read and Youtube videos I watched I started to realise that looking after my skin is really important. So recently I bought some items from the L'Oreal skin perfection range to add to my new skin care routine. Here are the  3 steps I use every night before I go to bed.

Step 1:

I wet my face and apply my soap&glory peaches and clean cleanser to my face. Once I do this I use my Clarisonic Mia 2 to wash my face and remove all of my make up.

Step 2:

After gently drying my face I get a cotton pad and apply L'Oreal skin perfection toner all over my face, neck and décolletage.

Step 3:

The next step I apply my skin perfection moisturiser all over my face, neck and décolletage in circular motions. Then using my ring finger, gently apply the eye cream.

I have been really enjoying using the skin perfection range and have noticed a difference in my skin. My skin has been softer and brighter. I have also had very little break-outs this month which would be due to the Clarisonic mia 2 which is really worth the money (£125.00). I strongly recommend you try out the skin perfection range and see for yourself how good the range is.
If you have tried any of the skin perfection products, which are your favourite?

MUA Intense Kisses :Review

Hey everyone!!

I was in superdrug the other day and I came across this lip gloss on the MUA stand. I liked the look of the colour of it so I bought it. The colour I got was Kiss and Tell. I absolutely love this product. The lip gloss is very pigmented and lasts on the lips for a good few hours without a touch up. There is a range of bold colours to suit everyone and for only £2 you cant really go wrong. You can wear it on its own, but it also looks really nice when its worn over a lipstick just to add an extra pop of colour and shine to your lips. I will definitely re purchase this product and try some of the other available colours . I highly recommend this lip gloss be added to your make up collection.

This One Is For All The 90's Kids Out There!!!! (Tamaatchi)

Do you remember a toy called the Tamagotchi???? When I was a kid I had a couple of them. Basically for all of you who do not know what they are, they are a hand held digital pet. The tamagotchi was an egg shaped computer device with 3 buttons. When the Tamagtchi was activated an egg would appear. The egg would eventually hatch and a baby animal (pet) would appear. All you had to do was to feed, clean, keep it active and healthy. Eventually it evolves from a baby to a child, then to a teenager and eventually it will become an adult.

This is an image i found on google images of a Tamagotchi. This is to give you and idea of what it looked like.

I am writing this post because I was quite excited when I discovered an app called Hatchi. This app is basically the phone version of a Tamagotchi. It has the retro graphics of the Tamagatchi and it has all the same principles as well.

This is what the app icon looks like for Hatchi

 

 

This is a screen shot of my Hatchi which has evolved into a teenager

 

You can find out details of your Hatchi's weight and blood type

You can also find out what their favourite food is and what food they really dislike

 



This screen shot is just showing the Hatchi evolution tree

 

 

I really recommend this app for those of you who had a tamagotchi as a child and for those of you who have never had one as it is a great app and can be fun for all. The App is on the app store for 99p.

Are They Worth The Hype?!!!

Ok where do I start with these? I could not wait for the baby lips lips balms to come to the UK so I could try them out. I watched so many beauty guru's on youtube rave about these saying how good they were. As soon as they came to the UK I bought three (pictured above). I cant complain about the price because at £2.99 they are not really that expensive. I Two of the tinted lip balms (pink punch and peach kiss) and one is a hydrating lip balm. They are supposed to keep your lips hydrated for 8 hours which would be pretty impressive if they did but they do not. After an hour of applying the lip balm my lips became dry and actually started to stick to each other. what happened to the 8 hours of moisture and hydration? Here are some of the statistics for these lip balms. They are clinically proven to make lips 82% visibly less dry, 94% less rough, 77% more supple, and 77% better looking after just four weeks of use! I have been using them for over a month now and have not seen any improvement on my lips what so ever and I am disappointed that they did not because I really did want them to work for me but sadly they did not.

There are a few positive things about these lip balms. They are only £2.99 so they are affordable. They smell and taste amazing. when I am wearing them I can smell them and everyone else can smell them off me (a bit weird I know). I like lip balms to have a nice scent because there is nothing worse than have a horrible smelling and tasting lip balm on as you are going to taste that for quite a while which is not nice at all. They are moisturising but it does not last 8 hours as claimed. The tinted lip balms are very handy for those mornings when you sleep in and have to rush out the door as you can add a little colour to the lip in no time.

I did find both negative and positive points about baby lips but mostly negatives. I personally do not think they are worth the hype they got but at £2.99 you cant really complain too much.
