FLORAL CROWN D.I.Y.

Hey lovelies. How has your bank holiday weekend been so far? We had some company over last night and enjoyed some Chinese.

I do enjoy nights in, but I am still enjoying the warmer, sunnier evenings when they do appear. With sunshine, summer and festival season in mind I created my own floral crown.

I ordered a pack of 3 headbands from Ebay, link!

I picked up these yellow roses which come in a bunch of about 10 from the 99p Store.

I cut each rose stem from the bunch and pushed the leaves up the stems so they sat under each rose head. I used some old scissors to cut the stems, but wire cutters would be better. Bending the wires a little helps them to snap.

It's a bit fiddly, but I twisted each rose around the headband as tightly as I could. I just kept adding roses until I was happy with the result.

Obviously the headband can be worn as shown above or more forward depending on your preference.

The 3 headbands were £1.85 so to make one of these headbands cost me about £1.60.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN USING WIRE CUTTERS/SCISSORS AND ASK FOR HELP FROM PARENTS/GUARDIANS WHERE NECESSARY.

Let me know what you think of my floral crown in the comments below.

Love to you all

EVERYTHING 5 POUNDS TIMBERLAND BOOT DUPES

Hi sweet peas. I feel like time is flying by like most of you I guess with people mentioning the A/W season already. The other day I noticed these boots on EVERYTHING5POUNDS and snapped them up in shades of camel and nero (black).

WOMENS TRACK SOLE BOOTS

These feel so comfy and I think will be perfect for the winter months. Unfortunately they are only available now in the shade Tortora (brown) and a size 3. So if they up are your street and the right size order now as they are obviously very popular.

GLASSES CLEANER ON THE GO!

Hi lovelies. I have a fabulous travel friendly and very purse friendly glasses cleaner to share with you.

MINI MICROFIBER GLASSES EYEGLASSES CLEANER CLEANING CLIP (RANDOM COLOR)

A brilliant discovery of mine (pats self on back). My glasses get dirty all the time as I have long lashes and wear make-up so they get smudges very easily. I am far too lazy to spray cleaner and wipe them over all the time especially if I am out and about. This handy gadget means I don't have to. A few swipes and I can see clearly again. I have ordered a bunch of them now so I can leave one in my bag, at work and home with some spares. A great price of currently just 72p each. Totally worth it.

I hope this helps any of you glasses wearers out. Even if you use it just for your sunnies while the sun is still out :)

DRESSES & JEANS - EVERYTHING 5 POUNDS HAUL

Hi my loves. I have been shopping online a lot recently finding some real bargain gems. Here are my latest finds from EVERYTHING 5 POUNDS.

RUFFLE FRONT BANDEAU MAXI DRESS

This dress is a great transitional season piece as it can be worn as above or with long cardigans come A/W season. I picked this up in the shades black and beige. There are only one left of each shade so hurry. It's one size, but stretchy so should fit sizes 8-12. I am 5ft 2 and with some not too high footwear this will be the perfect length on me.

CASUAL SKINNY FIT TROUSERS

I actually got these in a dark grey. I wanted black too, but it sold out in my size as I was paying. I got them in sizes 10 and 12 thinking I could wear one in a slightly looser boyfriend style with some DIY rips on those, but they weren't loose enough for that. These do fit really well and are very comfortable. Really true to size.

DHC RESVERATROL SKINCARE RANGE

Hello beauties. It's great to have you here so that I can tell you about my latest facial skincare products from one of my fave brands DHC.

DHC RESVERATROL LOTION, ESSENCE & CREAM

Resveratrol is a highly potent antioxidant found in the skin of red grapes and when applied topically it improves tissue elasticity, supports the skins natural moisture barrier and protects against environmental damage.

The Resveratrol three-step skincare system includes a high concentration of this wonder ingredient. Unlike other powerful anti-ageing ingredients like retinol, resveratrol is non-irritating and suitable for even sensitised skin.

Featuring a hydrating toner, super-booster and rich moisturiser, DHC’s Resveratrol products can be layered for maximum results.

Application:

So each morning and night over the last few weeks I have been applying this three step system after cleansing my face and neck. I apply a few drops of the lotion which is a toner by patting it onto my face. Then I smooth one pump of the essence which is a serum over my skin with my hands. Lastly I apply the cream. Just a small amount is needed as it's quite thick, but smooths on easily. It feels very luxurious.

Results:

My skin is typically dry, but has been much less so since using these products. In fact I would say I hardly ever see dry patches now. The fine lines around my eyes are less obvious. My skin feels and looks very smooth and plumped. These products work well under make-up too. I don't have to wait ages for any of the products to sink in. In fact the moisturising cream almost acts as a primer because I am sure my make-up is staying on a little longer throughout the day.

This range has a big thumbs up from me. The products are a bit pricey, but they work and they will last a long time. So if your skincare is important to you take a look at this range or other products from DHC as they are definitely a brand that looks after your skin well.

These products were sent to me, but this is an honest review.

Love to you all

LIGHT IN THE BOX LONG LASTING EYE & LIP LINER PENCILS

Hi lovelies. I hope you have had a great week and are relaxing today while you enjoy reading my blog :)

Recently I came across the site LIGHTINTHEBOX.COM that seems to have everything you could possibly ever think of at amazing bargain prices.

SWATCHES AS ABOVE

12 COLORS ROTATING COSMETIC MAKEUP EYELINER EYE SHADOW PEN LABIAL LINE PEN EYEBROW PENCIL

These 12 liners can be used on eyes and lips according to the packaging. I enjoy playing around with make-up so I will have fun with these. There are some great highlight shades which will work really well to open up the eyes on the inner corners. This set is especially perfect for summer make-up. If you are not great at eye make-up, but fancy a change from black or brown liner, just add any shade and voila you are transformed!

Working out at less than 40p per liner these are ace. The packaging looks fab and is sturdy. The product inside each pencil is a little wobbly and I think may come out if turned upside down fully, but just be careful not to do that and they should work fine :)

Let me know what fabulous bargains you pick up on this brilliant website as I need to go shopping on it now :)

Love to you all

SKINCARE : IN-SHOWER BODY MOISTURISERS

Hey lovelies. If you are anything like me and lazy when it comes to applying body moisturisers daily then I could have the perfect solution for you.

NIVEA IN-SHOWER BODY MOISTURISER PAMPERING HONEY

This was given to me in a gift set for my birthday, but I have linked to Superdrug above where this product is currently reduced. This has a lovely creamy honey scent that moisturises the skin really well. I have used a few of the Nivea In-Shower body moisturisers and love them. They are so easy to use and add moisture quickly all over your body. Just use your usual shower wash. Then apply this to wet skin and rinse off.

SOAP & GLORY WHIPPED CLEAN SHOWER BUTTER

This product is applied to wet skin in the shower and then you rinse it off. It does say you can follow with body cream, but I didn't find I needed to unless I perhaps shaved my legs that day and wanted to add extra moisture. The scent is fantastic with pistachio, almond, and sweet vanilla.

I love both of these brands for lots of products. I do think I like the Nivea In-Shower Body Moisturisers more as I find they moisturise my skin deeper and for longer.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN USING IN-SHOWER BODY MOISTURISERS AS THEY WILL MAKE THE FLOOR OF YOUR SHOWER/BATHTUB SLIPPERY ESPECIALLY IF YOU APPLY TOO MUCH!! SO TREAD CAREFULLY AND CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS :)

In the comments below please leave your favourite time saving products for us busy lovelies!

Love to you all
