Invisibra Review


Getting a stick on bra is something I have been looking into for a while now and I finally decided to go for it a get a Invisibra. I have wanted one for ages because quite a few things I have I am put off from wearing because of bra issues. I had tried one from Primark which was ok but it wouldn't have lasted more than the once I used it. I thought it was time to invest in something a little more expensive and I didnt mind spending the extra money for more use.

I no these type of things are different for different sizes so I thought before I started I would share that I am a c cup. So I don't no if it would be the same for smaller/bigger boobs.

Putting it on was really easy (to be fair how hard can it be) it fit really well and it even gave me a little bit of cleavage. The website have measurements for there sizes so even if your not sure, or you want to double check you can easily measure yourself to make sure you get the right size.


It felt really comfortable for the whole night. I didn't have any problems, I wasn't worried about it coming off all night or sticking it back on. It stayed really well and I completely forgot I was wearing it.

It was also really easy to take off, and as long as you keep the box it's easy to store to wear again. I haven't worn this more than once yet to know how often you can wear it but its advertised over 100 times so I'm expecting it to last a little longer.

I got the AVA bra as it was plain and the cheapest one (as I didn't want to go all out on my first buy) but they do different styles and colours if this is too boring for you. I think for the quality there not to badly priced. The AVA was only £24 but they go up to £40.

Have you every tried this? Or another brand? I'd love to hear about your experience.

February Sourced Box


I was so excited to get this package from the post office today and is the quickest I've got a post ready in a while as I'm so excited to share this with you. Last month on my blog I said that I was swapping Birchbox with a new subscription box, which is Sourced box. If you don't know, Sourced box is a box created by youtubers Marcus and Niomi and is filled with healthy snacks. Being a big fan of both of theres I was excited to give this ago.


In the box-

Nakd - Salted Caramel Nibbles

Squirrel Sisters - Cacao Brownies

Dust Granola - Original Granola 

Clearspring - Seaveg

Healthbox Kichen - Cacao Energy Balls

Teapigs - Matcha Powder Super Green Tea

Nom - Salted Maple Popcorn

Conscious Chocolate - Essential Orange Chocolate Bar

Beond - Organic Blueberry Bar

Dilly and Wolf - Sea Salt and Cider Vinegar Roasters

The Protein Ball - Goji and Coconut Vegan Balls

I ate the Brownie and the popcorn before I took the pictures because I got the package on the way to work and had them as snacks in the day. They were ok. Raw things tend to scare me so I was worried about the brownie but it wasn't to bad. The popcorn was ok but I don't really like salted popcorn so that was never going to be a winner for me .

I was so surprised but how small the box was! After seeing how much was in last months I thought it would be bigger. I am amazed that they have managed to fit that amount in it.

I am so excited to try the rest of these snacks though. I think 11 snacks for only £18 isn't that bad as most of these types of snacks can be a little pricey. I think this is a good box for me at the moment because I'm trying to eat healthier and this is good inspiration. I'm most excited for the Seaveg and I have no idea what they are.

What do you think about this type of subscription box? Would you give it ago? If you would you can get 15% of by using this link here.

January Empties


I've been a bit out of sync with blogging at the moment! still trying to get used to working full time and fitting in blogging around it. So am just going to be blogging when I can and feel like it. I've also realised that I'm useless at having a schedule as every time I think I have a schedule for my blog I forget about it and it just completely goes to pot! Anyway I alway love doing my empties post and I no its a little late but I did take these pictures about a week ago, so it is just things from last month. I hope you enjoy this post.


I Love .. In Chocolate and Oranges, Sugared Cranburries and Spiced Cinnamon Bath and Shower Creme - I got these mini body washes in a set for christmas and I've enjoyed using them as bubble bath. Its nice to mix up the smells to what I feel like and they each lasted for about 3 baths, which I didnt think was to bad. I have another 3 to go from the pack so watch out for them next month.


MAC Pro Longwear Concealer - I have gone in and out of phases of using this, even though I absolutely love it! I have repurchased this and will start using this as my go to concealer.

Eyeko Fat Liquid Eyeliner - I really liked this as it was long lasting and really easy to apply even though it had a thick tip. I would get it again if I saw it in a shop.


Nivea Hand Cream - This was my handbag hand cream and was a nice size to carry around and was a nice product.

Got2B Spray Mousse - I wasn't a fan of this and it seemed to last forever! I was using it so much and it still feels really full. It didnt really do anything for my hair.

Absolution L'Eau Soir et Martin - I got this in my birchbox and I enjoyed using it. The only problem is that its quite expensive for me to want the full size.

Beauty Formulas Cleansing Nose Pore Strips - I love these because there good! and there from the pound shop.


Embryolisse Face Cream - This was the tiniest sample size ever but it was a really nice moisturising face cream.

The Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Reviver - I love this as it really brightens my skin. Its a nice base for under my moisturiser and it lasted a really long time.

The Body Shop Nutriganics Day Cream - I got this for christmas and it lasted most of last month which was quite good for the size. I really liked it and would get it again. Its one of my favourite body shop day moisturisers I've tried.

Clean and Clear Advantage Spot Treatment Gel - I used to love this a few years ago but I've had this forever now and don't think it works as well as it did before so I think its time to get rid. I just use sudocrem out anyway which does the job.

I did quite well this month! I'm trying to cut down on the amount of things I have so these post are interesting for me because I get to see how well I'm doing. I think next month will be a big one as well!

If you do these posts link it down below because I love reading them.

January Favourites

Ok so I no I'm not the first person to say this but… January has gone way to quick! I feel like a lot of things have changed this month. I left a job, started a new one, trying to stick to blogging as much as I can in the little time I have. Its been a good change. Anyway I have got a few products I've been loving this month. Especially since I got some great stuff for christmas and in the sales. 


Beauty Favourites

Mac Pro Longwear SPF 10 Foundation in NC20- I have never found a foundation that suits my skin tone as much as this one! Made me realise that my other ones I have just don't look as good.

Mac Pro Longwear Concealer in NC20 - I have had this forever but go through phases of using it. Mainly because its expensive. But I have fallen in love with it again and its so worth the extra money. This ones finished and I already have a new one to use.

Mac Lipstick in Paramount - I got this spontaneously and was a bit scared at first! But this is my perfect lipstick. I love it so much! Looks perfect with a simple winged eyeliner. Check out my winter makeup look post to see what it looks like on.

INIKA Light Reflect Highlighting Cream - I got this for christmas and love the golden glow it leaves. I've done a full review here if you want to check it out.

Benefit Porefessional primer - I am 100% on this hype. Even if I am a little late. The difference between this and my other primers is amazing.


Fitness Favourites 

Fitbit- This has taken over my life. Me and my family and friends have a competition going every week and we are all so competitive. I am so bad at not getting my 10,000 steps in everyday though so need to improve on that.


Netflix Favourites

Pretty Little Liars - I have spent the last two weeks catching up with this and I was so gutted when I caught up :( I wasn't ready! I committed way to much time and now I'm annoyed that I have to wait every week to watch it.

I'm now looking for something new to watch so let me no any suggestions you have?

What have you been loving this month?

INIKA Makeup Review

For chirstmas (which feels like forever ago now) I got this makeup set from a brand called Inikahttp://www.inika.co.uk. I was really excited to try them out and hoping to love them as they are organic and vegan. I have been trying them out ever since I got them and wanted to tell you what I thought.

I got the nurture discovery gift set which includes a primer, foundation, powder brush and powder and then I got a highlighter and another primer separately.

inika

Pure Primer - I'm not sure about this unfortunately. I tried this and my normal primer with the foundation and it just wasn't as good as my normal one. Didnt stop it from going patchy throughout the day. 

Liquid Mineral Foundation - I think this looks very natural. Its very light but my only negative it doesn't seem to work layering it up. It tends to go a bit patchy. I do like it though but I'm going to stick with using it on my good skin days.

Foundation Powder - its a very light powder and again leaves a natural look. It's slightly glittery though which I thought was a surprise and they are a natural brand. It's quite subtle but if your not to into it you probably wouldn't like this one.

Kabuki Brush - I love this because it's really thick! I like to use it to buff my foundation into my skin.

Light Reflecting Highlighter Cream - this is my favourite! I love the gold shimmery colour and it goes really well with my skin tone.

inika

I hope you enjoyed this review! I hadn't heard of this brand before I got this and will definitely hunt down some more product to give a go.

Have you tried with brand before? let me know what you think?

Hair Care Routine


A couple of months ago I got a very different look with my hair that changed my hair care routine a lot. I got quite a high contrast ombre look, so with very light ends I knew I was going to have to take a lot better care of my hair. I haven't really had a set routine for it to be honest until I got this done but after a few months I feel like I've finally found lots of great products I want to share with you

To check out my hair check out these posts;



These are the four main products I use to wash my hair. I have my normal shampoo and conditioner. Which I like to mix up a lot but I am currently using Pantene repair and protect conditioner and Aussie Winter Miracle Shampoo. I really like them both and use them for every wash. For every other wash after the shampoo I use the Bleach London Sliver Shampoo on the ends of my hair that are blonde. I love this and find it really keeps the colour from turning brassy. Because I've used quite a bit of bleach in my hair I use a deep conditioning mask in my hair once a week. My current favourite is the Bleach London Reincarnation Mask. It keeps my hair looking healthy and soft.


Theses are a few other steps that I use to keep my hair healthy. Coconut oil is one of my favourite products ever because its so versatile. I use it in my hair before washing as a hair mask. I will try to leave it in as long as possible before washing. So could be about 20 minutes up to sleeping with it in over night. I also use The Aussie Miracle Recharge Shine Leave in Conditioner. I like to use it after I have done my hair for the day as it leaves a nice shine and feels smoother. My favourite product that I use on my hair is Moroccan Oil. I use it every time after I wash my hair to leave the ends hydrated. It really makes a difference especially when its getting to that time when you need a hair cut.


A few other bits I enjoy using on my hair are the Batiste dry shampoo. I always buy the biggest bottle I can because I love it so much. It saves me washing my hair so often which does it some good and gives it great volume. Heat defence is obviously very important and I am currently using the Tresemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection, which I'm using because I got it free when I brought my hair dryer, but its still really good. I'm just never really fussy to which one I use. I love salt spray because my hair tends to take really well to them. If I curl my hair once it just keeps them alive for the rest of the days until I wash it again. So I don't have to use as much heat which saves my hair a lot. My favourite is the got2b Beach Matt Texturising Salt Spray.

So thats everything That I use. I don't no if its a lot or not but I don't use it all everyday. Let me know what your favourite hair products are? do you have any tips to look after ombre hair?

New Hair // Weekly Reflect 3


I hope everyone had had a good week? I've been really ill most of this week which has been annoying because I started my new job. I'm finally getting over it but its lasted quite a while. Longer than normal anyway. But I have still been up to stuff this week so this might be my most interesting week yet! (don't get to excited)

Earlier in the week I got my hair cut and dyed. I thought It was about time to got back the the hair dressers and get it done properly. I got quite a lot taken of and also got it bleached again so its higher and lighter at the bottom. Looks a lot more blended and I really like it. I think it need to leave it a while for next time though as my hairs been through a lot over the last couple of months.


I was meant to start my new job on wednesday. But I was so ill I had to call in sick! Not a great start for my first day. But They were fine about it and I managed to go in for the rest of the week. I had a bad cold as well for them days so I think they believed that I was ill.

So despite being ill, my first few days have gone really well. Lots of training at the moment but I think it will be a good job once thats done.

On friday I ended up at the Bingo again. I promise I don't go there that much, just happens to be twice in two weeks. I didn't win anything this time though :(


My parents were away this weekend which can only mean one thing!! PIZZA PARTY!! Every time they go away I make them feel bad about me and my brother not being able to eat (even though I'm 21 and perfectly capable of cooking for myself) and they give us money to order pizza. So thats been every meal this weekend.

So theres my adventurous week! What have you been up to?
