Nano Whitening Kit X Collab

Hey Girls,

fancy having a white and gleaming smile at an affordable price tag?

I have been sent a teeth whitening kit from White Wash Laboratories called Nano to test and review. This is a product that has been developed by UK dentists and contains multi-active whitening components with enamel care to help whiten and remineralise teeth. I received a Nano Whitening Toothpaste & Mouthwash, a Whitewash toothbrush, anti-stain floss and nano floss with micro rinser technology. I love the simplicity of the packaging - even more so that it is white and gold! These are ultimately look good products that are every bloggers dream!

Their range includes a number of peroxide and non - peroxide products and they are all easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Not only does the packaging look amazing, the taste and texture of the actual toothpaste feels more expensive than your average toothpaste. It actually tastes and feels quite like the toothpaste you get when you visit the dentist. The toothpaste has enamel repair technology that helps repair teeth and create a shine whilst protecting against the main factors an average toothpaste would tackle. The teeth whitening is a gradual process that really cleanses the teeth to ensure that there are no marks, stains or dullness which results in your teeth feeling squeaky clean every time you brush.

Each product can be bought individually or as a set. It makes logical sense to buy the set as it costs £33.83 for all four products ( only including one of the flosses) in comparison to spending over £40 if you were to buy them individually. You can buy their products from their online website (details below), or they are also stocked in high street retailers such as boots. 

Also to add, they donate a toothbrush per every product sold to the developing world, although this seems a small contribution, it is a positive message to show the company are dedicated to making a difference among the growing market. Hence, this is definitely a product you need on your bathroom shelf.

Nano Whitening Toothpaste £14.95 - Nano Whitening Mouthwash £14.95 - Nano Floss with Micro-riser technology £4.95 - Anti Stain Floss £4.95 - Nano Whitening Toothbrush £4.95

I will be testing out these Nano products over the next few weeks and will be posting updates to let you girls know how it all goes.

This post is sponsored by Nano, however all opinions are my own.

Laviish Skin X Collab

Hey Girls,

fancy feeling lavish?

My newest collaboration is with Laviish who specialise in Skin and Hair supplements that are unlike creams and moisturisers as they work from the inside. They contain a selected blend of vitamins, minerals, botanicals and super greens that many of which have been used for centuries as beauty aids.

I suppose our lifestyles can be so hectic ( well mine sure is! ) that we don't get enough of the essential vitamins our body needs such as A, C and E and also minerals such as Zinc, Iron and Magnesium from our food.

After researching more into the product I found that Laviish products are manufactured in the UK whilst sourcing ingredients elsewhere, however the final manufacture is carried out in the UK in factories that are WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) approved.

 Get That Glow! with Laviish Skin 1 month supply £27

Laviish sent me a 1 month supply of Skin tablets that retail for £27, however you can buy a 3 month supply for £60. Laviish skin is a finely balanced formula of 20 essential vitamins and minerals for a Glowing, Radiant and Flawless complexion.

Some of the vitamins and minerals used are biotin ( a beauty supplement ) as well as Zinc, Iodine, Niacin,Vitamins A, C and E, these are to help contribute to the maintenance of normal skin. The antioxidants contained in this product play a key role of repairing and protecting the cells in the body. These help to protect against free radicals that are damaging byproducts of metabolism and the exposure to environmental pollutants. Other ingredients include marine collagen and botanicals such as flax seed oil, sea buckthorn, pine bark, pomegranate, lutein and grape seed extract.

The main ingredients in Laviish skin help to contribute to the maintenance of normal skin and the normal formation of collagen for both blood cells and skin.

I am super excited to be reviewing this product for a whole month. I will be posting updates to let you girls know how I am getting on.

I purchased my Light box from B&M Bargains, this is my favourite go to shop especially for my bedroom. As I am one of those people who is forever changing what their bedroom looks like and this shop guarantees best buys for bargain prices! I also purchased my mirrored place mats from there for £2.99 (as pictured below)

The light box comes with a doubled amount of alphabet letters and a few symbols also. It is battery powered however if you have a spare adapter, you can plug it into the mains and have it lit all night long.

How fancy having your name in lights? ;)

I also bought myself a few luxury looking cushions, these were also extremely cheap! The white fur cushion cost £5.99, followed by the Grey fur cushion with diamantes also costing £5.99. The small cream cushion with a diamante only cost me £3.99 but you can buy 2 for £5 - what a bargain!

You can also shop their store online at www.bmstores.co.uk

Happy Shopping! :)

On The Lash Challenge

Hey Girls, I am taking on a challenge! Not just any old challenge....The Lash Challenge - of course!

Instant Effects Instant Lash is a lash volumiser that increases the thickness of your individual lashes by up to 20% in just 2 minutes.

They Claim:

- Lashes increase in thickness by up to 20%

- With daily use lashes increase in thickness by up to 40% in 2 weeks

- With daily use lashes increases in length by up to 20% in 2 weeks

Your mascara can be applied within minutes after application.

Upon reading up about the formula of the product and what happens once you apply the formula, I found that the actives within instant lash firstly deliver oxygen into the lash. Whilst the lash is inert, it does in fact have something called a Medulla at its core. Medulla carries nutrients which is excited by the oxygen which then starts to carry increased levels of nutrient. The increased level of nutrient therefore causes an instant plumping effect. This effect causes an increase to the thickness of the lash by an average of 20% and that's before you add your own mascara.

I will be taking the challenge for two weeks with images to reflect the progress of my journey.

Here is a before shot of my lashes

Neal & Wolf X Collab

Hey girls,

Have you ever been to the salon and adored the luxurious smell of the shampoo they use? Have you ever wondered why you can never find that same smelling product on the high street? Girls, if your like me, and you have had this issue too, look no further because I am about to introduce you to that product!

Using luxury products for your hair used to be reserved for the select few, however to our luck and 20 years of expertise and experience, Neal and Wolf have developed a hair care collection that redefines indulgence as a right and not just a privilege.

"Indulgence...shouldn't have to be an indulgence. Even daily routines like hair care should be made to feel special"

I was lucky enough to receive a hair care range that consisted of the Harmony Intensive Care Shampoo, the Harmony Intensive Care Treatment, the Elevate Volumising Lotion and the Velvet Nourishing Hair Oil. First off, I need to say, these products smell amazing! Upon researching more into their products I found that their unique fragrance was created by a world famous perfumery - so that pretty much proves the salon quality. Secondly, I have to admit, I am a major sinner when it comes to hair and what your not supposed to put in it. I have dyed, permed, and heated the hell out of my hair over the past couple of years and now it is time to take my hair on the road to recovery.

Harmony Intensive Care Shampoo £14.50 - Harmony Intensive Care Treatment £13.50

So tonight, I ran myself a nice hot bath and decided to give my hair some much needed TLC. The Harmony range is specifically created to repair damaged hair by using a unique combination of Camelia seed oil, Argan oil and Silk Protein Complex which are all proven to provide moisture from within. The shampoo is pretty straight forward, you massage it thoroughly in and it lathers up really nice and then that luscious smell comes through - and now I am back in the Salon in the comfort of my own bathtub. For ultimate results, the Harmony Shampoo is best used with the Harmony Intensive care treatment. The Intensive Care treatment is a conditioner that is best used massaged through the hair for 3-5 minutes and then rinsed out.

Elevate Volumising Lotion £12.50 - Velvet Nourishing Hair Oil £14.95

Now depending on how you would want to style your hair after, my go to after washing my hair is always a hair serum. I used the Velvet Nourishing Hair oil which is a blend of three natural oils; Argan, Avocado and Jojoba. This product is designed to transform unruly hair into healthy, smooth and nourished hair. You only need a small amount of this product whilst your hair is damp, and you can also add a small amount more after you have styled your hair.

If your one who is prone to limp hair  and your in need a bit of oomph, Elevate Volumising Lotion is sure to do the trick. You apply it to towel dried hair and simply wave goodbye to drab limp locks and say hello to luscious thick hair, filled with body and a glossy finish.

Now that I have Washed, Conditioned and applied the Velvet Nourishing hair oil, my hair smells divine and it also feels really soft between my fingers. I have also noticed my hair doesn't look as frizzy as it normally does after I wash it.

I will be using these products - well, I suppose until they run out, and I will be keeping you girls up to date with how I feel the products are working out.

Chokers with charm X Collab

Hey Girls,

So I live in Chokers and Chokers are my life! Since I bought a thin black velvet choker last year, I have honestly been obsessed trying to seek out new styles.

I have collaborated with an amazing brand that hand makes their chokers from scratch. I love handmade items as they are usually unique, made with love and well you guessed it - you can't buy them in shops! I also loved the idea about how the brand came about in the first place, they had a sheer love for fashion and originally only started making chokers to match their own outfits. With the increased creativity and more and more inspiration on the horizon, they found themselves seeking out more patterns and materials to play around with which of course left a woman with more chokers than one could wear - not that you can ever have too many accessories of course!

However, this is how the brand came to play with creating handmade designs for the likes of me! There are loads of designs to choose from or you can request your own design - this is definitely a concept that I love as like I said before, I enjoy products that are unique.

I received two chokers (as pictured below) One in a Camouflage print and the other a nude tie choker with beaded embellishment. Two totally different chokers, yet both serving one purpose. To look damn fine in them!

Chokers with Charm are available to buy via their Facebook or Instagram accounts (links below)

Natural Dermatology X Collab

Hey Girls,

I have recently collaborated with an amazing skincare company that specialises in products for Acne prone skin. I, myself have suffered with Acne since the age of 15 with it being more severe in my younger years. I still have scars and I still do get the odd outbreak here and there. I was pleased to read about how the company itself had come about due to the Founder and CEO, Jordan Marc Sully, also having problematic skin. It seems as though we were in the same boat using endless products from shop shelves that seemed to mask the problem but only for a short while

He decided to develop a range of natural skincare products that contained active ingredients that met the following criteria; to stop inflicting damage to the skin and to assist the skin in healing itself also.

I am lucky enough to test out the Day Moisturiser for Acne Prone Skin alongside a Cleanser also.

I will be using this product daily for the next couple of weeks and will be blogging my Journey to Acne Free Skin.

I started my routine this morning, after washing my skin, I used cotton pads to Cleanse my skin with the special formulated cleanser and then used the day moisturiser to follow. First thoughts were that the cream was very light and my skin didn't feel clogged up. I felt fresh, clean and awake - this is always important for me. I have combination skin, where parts of my skin get quite oily and parts are quite dry and overall the moisturiser felt like a perfect match for my skin.

I am an avid make-up wearer on a day to day basis as having bad skin for a number of years has made me feel quite self- conscious about my natural skin. I am always quite fussy with what creams I use under my foundation as I don't want to feel cakey, and considering the cream itself felt quite light, I felt it would match quite well, and honestly, it really did! If anything it felt like I was wearing a primer- which is a definite plus!

I will be keeping you girls updated with how my journey goes, however in the meanwhile, why not take a look at Natural Dermatology yourself...

Celeb Look X Collab

Hello again! My newest collab is with online boutique Celeb Look UK. Their website is full of the latest fashions at high street prices from bombers to pyjamas - they have it all!  They sent me three items from their New In collection which featured Two Dresses and a pair of Camo Ripped Knee Jeans.

Contrast Panel Bodycon Dress £21

I loved wearing this dress. It really is a dress that will never go out of trend! The white caged effect across the black bodycon dress really stands out and gives me inspiration towards past Balmain lines. The straps are adjustable and the material is uber stretchy - it definitely is the perfect LBD with a caged twist. I also love the caged effect as it accentuates your curves and it definitely falls in line with the current theme of wearing lingerie as outerwear!

Long Sleeve Ripped Choker Dress £17

I adore this dress! It is part of the metallic range on their website. Metallic is huge for A/W16 so be sure to stock up on your metallic! I love how this is super on trend with the choker and plunge neck and keeping it classy with long sleeves. The bottom part of the dress is wrapped across which really gives it that sophisticated twist. This was super stunning to wear and I love how much it is sparkling!

Rip Knee Camo Print Jeans £18

Camouflage is definitely a must have for anyone's wardrobe this Autumn! I was super excited to receive these gorgeous Camo Jeans, as I'm usually just the plain old denim girl, but these were just the right pattern of Camo - and I'm quite fussy when it comes to printed items. I love the fit and how snug they feel. The rips on the knees are the right cut - not too much, not too little.

 I teamed my jeans with my Yeezy Inspired Brown boots and A plain White Tshirt to ensure the Jeans were really focused on! Stay tuned for more looks with my Camo jeans and how versatile these bad boys are!

Hybrid Fashion X Collab

 Hey Girls,

I am over the moon about this collaboration with Hybrid Fashion. Starting out in 2010, Hybrid has become a well renowned global fashion brand that sell to over 300 independent boutiques and major departments stores as well as online retailers such as ASOS.

Upon browsing their site, I loved that their dresses channel a feminine aesthetic, however, are crafted from materials such as luxe and stretch fabrics that flatter the natural curves of the body. I really like the play on words through their name with the term ‘hybrid’ as it reinforces their vision of attention to detail and to bind elements such as quality and versatility with affordability and luxury to show skilled craftsmanship.

I was lucky enough to receive two fabulous dresses that can honestly be worn for any given occasion.

One was a Pretty In Pink Bardot Skater Dress and the other a White With Black Lace Figure Hugging Midi Dress. Both are very flattering even though they are so different in style.

 Hybrid Olivia Skater Off Shoulder Dress In Blush  £35 ( RRP £138)

I was feeling Pretty In Pink in this gorgeous skater dress. I love the material of this dress, it is a thick scuba material which instantly screams luxury! The bardot shoulders keep it really on trend and  make it a really cute piece. The waist cinches in and then flares out to this magnificent skater skirt - no netting needed! ( and that's what I like) I have teamed this dress with a flower crown and a pair of perspex/suede heels that match the dress colour perfectly. Plain accessories are all that are needed with such a show stopping dress! I adore how versatile this dress can be to suit any occasion, it can be worn to a day at the races, as a birthday dress, to a wedding, or even as a bridesmaids dress. The list is honestly endless and is also available in a really lovely steel colour.

Shop my dress here

Hybrid Natalia Ivory Crepe Pencil Dress With Black Lace Detail £128

This style of dress is so typically me! I love midi length items, especially midi length dresses! So I was definitely in love when Hybrid Fashion sent this little number to me. I especially love the silky soft white fabric of this dress, it is figure hugging and definitely complementing to it. That combined with the black lace shoulders and black lace embellishment up both sides of the bottom hem is stunning. The black lace shoulders is definitely something to take notice of, it is just pure black lace, no straps - amazing! It looks amazingly delicate and it is, but you don't feel restricted where you feel you might damage the lace. Oh, and one last thing! The back detail on this dress is effortless - it has a two way zip where you can get creative and  have a deep split from the bottom hem upwards.

 I have teamed this look with a plain pair of barely there black heels as I feel the dress is stunning enough without trying to take any attraction away from it. Again this is dress that can be worn to so many different types of events. You could add a wide brim black hat and wear it to the races, or on holiday. Or like me, wear heels on a night out, a formal occasion or simply a dinner out somewhere.

Dans La Nuit X Collab

Hey Girls,

So I'm currently collaborating with this amazing brand that sources their items from the U.S, Canada and even parts of Asia. Their luxury lingerie of extraordinary quality is created to inspire women by supporting the message of 'No matter what shape or size, every women should have the right to feel great in their body. After all, you only have one body'. This message is so powerful and that was one of the reasons I really wanted to collaborate with this brand - as well as their lingerie being so lush!

Dans La Nuit were kind enough to send me the 'Trinity Babydoll' as well as silicone nipple covers (as pictured below).

I really enjoy lingerie pieces that are quite playful and I love how sheer the pink chiffon is and the fact that it splits down the sides. Plus the matching pink double strapped thong is a definite bonus!The straps on the baby doll are adjustable - which is perfect for me and my small bust as I can adjust it accordingly to accentuate my assets that little bit more. 

Now for the headliner, White Lace. I adore white lace. Anything White and Lacy - I'm all over it.Now with this specific item, the detail on the lace is so intricate with the pattern along the waistband and then up across the bust. It is so fine and delicate, it just oozes luxury. I really like the contrast between the bright white lace and the hot pink chiffon, the colours really compliment each other.

So this little number ticks all the boxes.

The Trinity Babydoll. Retails for $49 CAD

I love how sheer the fabric is - a great way of feeling sexy without feeling like your showing too much skin. This is great for girls who possibly don't feel as confident - this definitely gives you some confidence!

Shop the Trinity Babydoll here

Nude Pasties. These were amazing - and well quite frankly still are! I have been able to pop them on and off again and back onto the plastic they come with, so the reusable side is definitely a plus! Also I am wearing these in all of the pictures above, as considering they blend in extremely well - even on the close up shots! These are definitely winners! These are retailed at $10 CAD and come in either round or flower shaped, however they also sell these lush Red Glitter Heart, Glitter Owl, or Daisy Pasties that retail for $12 CAD.

Technic Cosmetics Review

 Hey Girls, So I have managed to get through all of what Technic Cosmetics sent me the other day and I must say I am really impressed!

 Correct & Contour Kit £3.33

Definitely my fave! Firstly, let's talk about the top four colours we can see. They are Lilac, green, yellow and silver shimmer. Lilac is used to correct yellow skintones and bruises, Green ( my lifesaver) helps to minimise redness on blemishes and Yellow is to help neutralise purple dark patches. The silver shimmer is a highlighter with a shimmer which can be used along the cheek bone and eyebrow bone.

The three shades along the bottom are for contouring. Luckily, there is a little guide on the back of this kit to show you how to contour and where to place these shades - otherwise I would have been lost too.

Mega Nudes 4 Eyeshadows £4.17

I adore these eyeshadows as there are 12 gorgeous shades of either nude, metallic or darker shades that will compliment nude. I especially love the metallic shimmer pigments as they look lovely and glittery along your eyelid. I'm not usually one for eyeshadow, but since receiving this and trying out a few looks, I must say I really like the look of eyeshadow and really enjoyed playing around with the colours.

Strobe Kit

Now I must say I have never used a Strobe Kit before - I'm still learning ;)  however these shades are gorgeous! The pigments are so shimmery and glisten so lovely in the light - my images clearly don't do them justice! Two are powders and Two are in a creamy form, definitely great if you want a step up from the average highlighter

Get Gorgeous Highlighting powder £2.91

Now this is definitely not the average highlighting powder, after a few several layers, the shimmer is to die for! I would never put this amount on my face, but to give the full effect of what this can give for it's tiny price - it is honestly amazing! I love the pearlescent glow it gives, it really is showstopping.

Red Lipstick in shade " The Lady is a Vamp" £1.66

Now, for my ultimate favourite! The Red Lippy! Now for a long long time, red lipstick was my thing, then as soon as I finished University, somehow nude took over and I never went back. However, Thanks to Technic cosmetics, I have my hands on a red lipstick again!

I was always really fussy with Red lipsticks, they were either too bright red or too burgundy, but this shade is just right. Its not glossy, it's not bright red, it's not burgundy, it is RED! Alas! a lipstick that says it is Red and it actually is!

I am overall super happy about all the items I received, I will have a youtube tutorial up soon with me fiddling about trying to look cool ;)

So in the meantime, give Technic Cosmetics a look over at LoveThyMakeup
