Vaseline Spray & Go Review


I'm the first to admit I am not great at the whole moisturising my body thing..Firstly, I'm lazy, secondly I HATE that slimey mingin feeling it leaves on my hands and well... on my body for the next half an hour/fourty minuites..Its just not for me.

So when this was launched last year I was over the moon and thought "YES WINNER, THIS IS RIGHT UP MY STREET"...so off I went to Boots, only to find they wanted £7 for it. I get it was just launched  and all that jazz, but crikey was it liquid gold or something?! I was not a happy camper.

So fast forward to now, still a lazy moisturiser, but haazaar its not £7 any more - Thank the moisturiser gods! I was picking up some deodorant in my local Superdrug and noticed that they had the Vaseline Spray and Go on sale for £3.99...thats more like it!
Obviously I jumped at the chance to get it, and I am SO glad I did!

There are 3 in the collection currently, an aloe vera, a coca butter and this oat based one. If i'm honest it was all a bit of an exciting blur for me so I just picked any up and got to the counter, but i'm pretty happy with the one I did buy! 
This is the PERFECT lazy girl moisturiser, the spray feature..I mean why didn't anyone think of this earlier!
It dispenses just the right amount of product, you simply hold the bottle 4 inches away and spray!
It is not greasy, and sinks in within 30 seconds - 1 minute which for me is pretty ideal..I can literally just spray and go..get my post shower comfy clothes on. 

Have you tried any of the other Vaseline Spray & Go products?

Don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin' - I'm going to be hosting my first giveaway really soon so keep you eyes peeled for that! 

Til' next time..

QUAY - about last night - Sunglasses!

If you follow me on twitter you'll know i've had a strong urge for another pair of sunglasses, and especially the QUAYxSHAY.
I am in LOVE with Quay sunglasses, they offer such a varied range of sunglasses that really do offer everything, from minimal chic to retro..they honestly do everything!
I've had my eye on a pair from the range they did with Shay Mitchell ( Emily from PLL ) who just happens to be a huge babe..mini girl crush going on here..but I just haven't seen them being stocked on any UK websites which is a total sucker. 


Instead, I chose these bad boys. I spotted them on Asos for £22 and I had to purchase! These are the "About Last Night" style, they are soo different to any sunglasses that I already own and the blue reflective lens just sold it for me! 
Asos do stock a small selection from Quay, but from what I can tell they often change which styles they do sell. Which can be a bugger, for instance these are no longer on the website but you can get them straight from Quay here.


I am quite the sucker for a tortoise shell print on sunglasses. I think they really compliment my skin tone - especially when I have a tan! 
As the sunny weather has buggered off and we're back to wind and cloud i've not really had much of a chance to test out the UV/Sun Blocking they provide, but I did wear them yesterday when we had a brief snippet of sunshine and they provided excellent blocking from the sun - good news!


How cool is the reflective lens - I love these and will certainly be getting my use out of these this summer!!

Have you got any of the Quay selection!?

Until next time..

Bvlgari 8092B Sunglasses - Tortoise Shell

Just a quick post today guys - I'm in the process of doing a guest post blog swap with the lovely Style Like Her, so lots of editing images, and planning posts going on at the moment, but keep your eyes peeled for that post as it should be up within the next few days. 

But onto this one first eh!?


Last year I splurged on these gorgeous Bvlgari sunglasses, I had forever been buying cheap sunglasses and just not getting the level of protection I needed for my eyes - So with this, and the additional thought of they're an investment, and also being something that I could use for years to come, why the hell not! 

I took forever choosing frames that suit my face shape, going from RayBan Aviators, Chanel 5278's, you name them I tried them on. I finally settled on these, with a a slight cat eye effect in the full tortoise shade - I was in love. Not only are they amazing (I'm Biased) they work fabulously with almost every outfit, which of course is a plus!


The only thing I can say has slightly disappointed me is how fast the ear pieces have become loose, maybe this is because I do wear them so often, and I know they're easy to tighten up again, its just it's a bit of a ballache really - But other than that, nothing but good things to say about these. 
I would 100% return to the Bvlgari brand if I were ever looking for a decent pair of sunglasses again. 

These Sunglasses also come with a hard case, with the Bvlgari logo on a small silver plate, in addition to this they come with a cream Bvlgari embellished cloth to clean.. perfect! :)



What are your favourite sunglasses, High Street, or High End?

Summer Whites - OOTD

Here is a quick OOTD, I'm heading out to a local National Trust attraction - Erddig. So be sure to check out my Instagram for some pictures!!


Whenever I go shopping I'm always attracted to the same colours, White, Black, Cream, and this dress was no different. I bought this White lace beauty from H&M last spring and I've certainly got my moneys worth from it. Its perfect to dress up and dress down, and to wear to an array of occasions. I decided to go quite simple with my outfit, accessorising with H&M sandles, and a Primark necklace. Being honest, jewellery is never something I normally pick up when shopping, I don't know why but I never have, but after reading so many blog displaying beautifully styled statement necklaces, I may have to start investing!


A better view of my Primark "C" necklace. 


Hope your enjoying this sunny Sunday as much as I!

P.S Ignore the beyond awful roots, they're getting sorted ASAP!

With Summer just around the corner, my wardrobe is in need of a quick Winter to Summer change-around..'soo long thick knit jumper, and hello shorts.'

In the near future I'm also hoping to get myself a decent camera, I'm currently looking at a Nikon D3100. I'd love to know if you guys have any recommendations camera wise?

Spring Is Here - OOTD

Finally, Spring is here and Summer is well on it way! WOO! 

Although the temperature is definitely on this rise, unfortunately the wind still has a chill to it to remind us summer lovers that it IS only mid-April..So when getting dressed I've gotta bear that in mind. 

I was just popping out to meet a friend for lunch and though I'd do a quick OOTD, so here it is my OOTD for Spring weather - 

I love a trench with the 'In-between' weather, not too hot and not too cold. One day it will be Burberry but for now this one from Primark will have to do.


 I LOVE this Topshop blouse, perfect for both spring and summer and wear-able day and night, which is very appealing to me when buying clothes.  Carrying on with the Topshop theme, these black trousers are also from Topshop, being someone whose trouser collection consists of Black, Black and Black.. I was attracted to the slight pattern on these, they bring something slightly different to the trouser section of my wardrobe. 

H&M A/W 13/14 Booties. These are my go to shoes and the moment, I seem to wear them with everything!

I'm  not usually a huge nail polish wear-er but whilst in Boots last week I couldn't resist this Barry M nail polish in Blue Moon. It is perfect for Spring and a such a lovely colour!


That being my first OOTD done! :) I must apologise for the not so great pictures, I bugged my 12 year old Brother to take them and he wasn't best pleased in doing so!
