Jolen Creme Bleach Review

It was only recently that I noticed my upper lip hair, I'm not sure if it has actually gotten any darker than before or if I can notice it more because I have absolutely no tan but I just had to do something about it. 
I decided that bleaching was my best option since I didn't want to actually remove the hair (the main reason being that I'm slightly scared it'll go wrong and I'll end up with a full on thick moustache... ).

The packaging is the only thing about this product that put me off, I feel that it's quite old fashioned and could do with a modern day spruce up to become more physically appealing.  

The product however worked perfectly, I'd read a few bad reviews about it but I left it on for 10 minutes and was dark hair free! 
The only problem was mixing the two powder and creme because the tray is flat but you could easily get round that by using another tray. 

The product can also be re-used on different areas (in one session) for example on arms and then eyebrows so is very economical too! 



NewLook Haul


 Camel Skirt - £19.99
Zip Front Trousers - £14.99
Baseball Top - £12.99
Split Side Top - £14.99

 I've been wanting a suede skirt for so so long now but I refused to pay a lot of money for it, but this came onto the NewLook website about a week ago and I just about cried with happiness. I'm loving suede right now and I also LOVE the Topshop suede biker jacket but it's just too expensive, I can't justify buying it.

 I bought the long top and trousers for work for when the weather gets a big warmer.
What's in my stockpile?
These are a few of my essentials that I cannot live without. Most of these are things that I buy on a regular (ish) basis so that I NEVER run out.

Wilkinsons Sensitive Shaving gel - 95p 
I've been using this for years and have never had any reaction to it what-so-ever so it's became my go-to shaving gel. 
Since I epilate my legs I don't go through very much of this so it lasts for ages 

Sensitive Facial Cleansing wipes - I can't find these on the website but they'll be in store
I can't rave about these wipes enough. I haven't been using these for long but I'll use them to remove my make-up before cleansing, but they always take off every scrap of make-up, including my eye make-up!
I picked these up originally because I was out of both micellar water and cotton wool and wanted a quick fix. 

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer - £4.19
I've mentioned this before in my posts so you might already know that this is my go to every-day concealer. I've used it for years and I usually repurchase when it's on offer. 
It has won awards in the past and I know that a lot of bloggers use or have used this in the past, which just confirms it's legendary greatness. 

 Mitchum Powder Fresh Deodorant - £2.99
This deo pretty much just does the job that a good deodorant should! It smells nice and keeps me fresh, what more could I want?

 Soap and Glory Mist You Madly Body Spray - £6.50
I like to keep this in my bag and it's just kind of habit to always repurchase this when there's none left!

 Tealights
So I'm not very fussy about what brand these are but I've got to have some candles on the go at all times. I use these with my wax-tart burner. I'll usually buy them from Primark as its a big(ish) pack for something like £2. Although Wilkinsons also do a massive bag of either 100 or 200 candles, I can't actually remember and it's about £2 as well! The Wilkinsons ones aren't scented but it's hard to complain when it's such great value. 


For those of you who don't know, insanity is a workout DVD that is exactly what it says .. INSANE. 

 I ordered this at the beginning of the year, I was feeling out of shape and was gaining so much weight. 
I have been doing this for 7/8 weeks and I've got to say that it does get easier over time. However when I reached the second stage, I found the hour long workouts just too repetitive and boring so went back to the first set because I would dread the thought of the long workouts and wouldn't do them. It's better to do an easier workout than none at all!

 You start off with a fitness test and then start the first round of workouts for 4 weeks with a fitness test every second week, although I usually miss out the fitness tests because I don't see very much point in them. 
You then get a week of recovery where you do the same workout each day to give your body a slight rest before starting the second round of workouts. 

The DVD set comes with a nutrition plan but I haven't used it at all and have been fine, just be aware of what you're eating and you will be fine. 

I recommend this to everyone looking to get in shape, it's perfect for those who don't have time for the gym or want to workout at home. 
I've always been a massive fan of buying and selling things on e-bay, I set up my account in 2012 and have been addicted ever since.
I know people who have never bought anything from e-bay because they don't trust paypal etc. but it's very rare to have problems. As long as you keep an eye on your account for any unexplained charges (fraud) then it's so safe. 

 Here's a few steps to get you started:

1. Download the app. 
I find the app makes it so easy to uploading items to sell because you can just snap the pictures on your phone and upload them instantly - just make sure that the pictures are clear.

 2. Declare any faults or marks on the item
Now it's usually clothes that I sell on e-bay so I'll always makes sure that the buyer know of any marks or problems with the item. You wouldn't want to receive something in an unexpected condition so be clear! 

 3.Timing
Having the auction end on a Sunday should create more interest in your item since it is a time that more people are on-line and browsing, so be sure when you set up the auction that it ends at an appropriate time and not 10.30 on a Monday morning when very few people will be active! 

 I've also got to admit that I have bought loads from Hong-Kong and China before, it's mostly been jewellery that was super cheap, and although it takes a few weeks to arrive the quality has always been good.

Shoe Edit 


Leopard slip-on - Carl Scarpa 99 euros (around £75)
Lace up sandal - ASOS £20
Black ballerina - ASOS £22
Iridescent pointy flats- ASOS £35
Cut out boots - ASOS £35
Cut out heeled boots - ALDO £65


These are a few of my favourite shoes on-line at the moment. Of course the majority of them are from ASOS, due to me being OBSESSED with that website; I could literally buy all of my clothes from there for the rest of my life and be a happy gal. 

 I know that i'll be getting a few of these in the next few months, but my favourites have to be the iridescent slip on's from ASOS, they look so pretty and I can't wait to buy them. Although I'm not sure what's happening to me since I'm loving the sports luxe trend for this season although I've never been a fan of sporty shoes but I also LOVE the slip on's from Carl Scarpa. CHANGE IS COMING. 

 I couldn't resist putting a pair of boots in but I don't think I'll get these as they do look quite big at the ankle which is the bane of my life when buying boots. Although I might order them anyway and just return if they are too big. 

 I've also added in a few sandals that I'm liking for summer. I really want a pair of long gladiator sandals but I haven't found any that I like enough to buy yet, so give me a holla if you know of any nice ones! 



I LOVE this stuff for giving my hair a bit of volume. I just spray it onto the roots when it's still wet and then blow dry it. 

I picked it up a few weeks ago with the salt spray but out of the two this won me over. I have really fine, flat hair and this makes such a difference when styling it. The only downside about it is that if you miss a bit when drying your hair then it goes all crispy - which is never going to be a good look, but as long as you make sure that you haven't missed a bit then you're good to go. 

The style expertise range is superdrug's own brand hair styling products that has just about everything you're going to need, from mousse to volumising powder, all priced at £2.99. 

It's super cheap and super cheerful. 
My favourite red lipsticks

From L to R: Bellapierre - Mandarina, Rimmel Apocalips - orangeology, 
Avon COLORTREND - poppylove, Maybeline 24 hr colourstay - Fire Coral


Bellapierre - mandarina £20 

I first got this in a glossybox last summer and fell in love with the colour instantly. It's a bright coral-ly red that looks amazing with a tan! These bright colours suit my complexion much better. I actually keep on losing this lipstick and keep having to buy it again, drives me crazy!
The range is available at House of Fraser, lookfanastic.com and their own website. 

 Avon COLORTREND - poppylove £3.75
This lipstick has the same tones as the bellapierre lipstick, but at a fraction of the price. It also has spf15 in it which is so important for the summer! It's a great non-commitment lipstick since it's so cheap so why not give it a go.

 Rimmel Apocalips Lip Velvet - orangeology £6.49
After buying a a few of the original apocalips, I didn't take much swaying to try the matte version of them. The colour is so rich and (strangely) feels really nice on the lips - a bit like velvet I guess. 
I couldn't actually find a link for this particular colour anywhere but any boots or superdrug should stock it! 

 Maybeline Superstay bold matte - fire coral £8.99
This was my go to colour last summer and I can't wait to wear it again this year once I get a bit of a tan. The colour lasts for ages and ages! The only downfall about it is that it can go quite bitty on your lips. 

OOTN 
Top - Newlook (via ASOS) 
Skirt & necklace - primark 
Boots - Moda in Pelle 
Rings - H&M and ASOS

My sister's boyfriend is in a band and they were performing at a pub in town last night and I had never seen them before so went along - I feel terrible saying this but I've forgotten the name of the band but I'll try to slyly ask tonight. 

Now I'm not really one to go along to gigs and I thought it would be a bit out of my comfort zone but I really enjoyed myself.

I'm currently obsessed with the top that I wore, I just LOVE it. It's probably available on the newlook website too but I originally found it on ASOS. I would prefer if the top itself was a bit longer though - it's only available in 'petite' or 'tall' so I went for petite.
L'oreal Elvive Fibrology Review

 I've been using l'oreal Elvive Fibrology shampoo and conditioner pretty much since it came out, it was originally the scent that pulled me in, since it smells soooo good - that and the fact that I have very fine hair. I always buy it now whenever it's on offer which is every other month or so, which makes it under £2 for a 400ml bottle. 

 The product is said to have a patented ingredient to actually expand the hair diameter to give long-lasting thickness. 

 I've got to admit that I don't really notice much difference in my hair when using any shampoo, never mind this shampoo, but it does give me clean hair and leaves it smelling nice - so it's ticks all of my boxes.
I always use products on my hair anyway to give it some texture so I don't really look for my shampoo and conditioner to give me that. 

There is also a hair masque and a thickness 'booster' in the range. I've only tried the hair masque, which I use every few weeks (or when I run out of normal conditioner .. ), but I haven't bothered to buy the booster yet but I haven't ruled it out for the future!

 -The full range is on offer at Superdrug and Boots right now and the shampoo and conditioner is currently £1.99- saving you £2. 


Daisy Street crop top £17.99
New Look zip slim trousers £14.99
Monki split top £20
ASOS mono print cigarette pants £32
ASOS high waist navy crops £25
ASOS kimono cardigan w/ lace hem £38
Fashion Union spotted tie waist shirt £16

I've been looking at revamping my work wardrobe a bit because I'm starting a new job (still in the same store, just for a new concession; Carl Scarpa). Here's some of what I might buy. I'm absolutely loving the navy spotty tie shirt and can't wait to buy it and also for the weather to get a bit better so that I can actually wear it .. 
The rest are just some basics that wont go wrong in any work wardrobe. 
'Drug Store' Favourites
Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation

 Rimmel Stay Matte foundation is one of the only drug store foundations that I've used that doesn't cling to my dry skin; I feel that it has good coverage without being too cakey and dry. I usually mix two shades atm as I'm in between and sometimes wear fake tan.

 Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

 This is the only concealer that I've used for years. The reason? It works. It covers under eye darkness as well as spots and any unevenness in my skin tone. At only £4.19 it's an absolute bargain, I'll usually stock up when it's on offer so that I've always got a spare. 

 Soap and Glory Arch de Triumph

 The pencil is my go to product and do't think I could live without it now. It is double sided with a highlighter on one side and a brow pencil on the other. I got my friends hooked on this too - it's just SO easy to use and suits all hair colour. It can be applied lightly or a bit more heavily for a more defined look, but what I do love is that it is nearly impossible to go OTT with this pencil. 
Used just under the brow, the highlighter adds definition and more of an 'arched' look. 



Unbreable Kimmy Schmidt is the newly released Netflix original series. It stars Ellie Kemper as Kimmy who is a 29 year old who has been living underground in an apocalypse cult. After she is rescued she moves to New York where she tries to settle in. She moves in with Titus - an aspiring actor, played by Tituss Burgess, who kind of coaches her through her new life.
Jane Krakowski plays her new employer as well as a mother and stepmother who is going through a rocky relationship with her absent husband.
Ellie plays Kimmy so well, she's very curious and fun without it being in any way awkard. 

I wasn't sure what I'd think of this series but I'm really enjoying it! If you're a fan of Newgirl, The Mindy Project and suburgatory then I'd recommend giving it a watch, it's a very upbeat show that's easy to watch.
So far there is one series with 13 episodes - it also looks like a second series is confirmed.
