NIVEA Q10 FIRMING & CELLULITE SKINCARE


Hi lovelies. I am here today to talk about four Nivea Q10 products that were sent to me to try. I thought why not give you my thoughts on them so here they are :)



Smooths and tones targeted areas such as the thighs, buttocks and belly. Results should be seen in 10 days. Suitable for all skin types.

This is a lovely lightweight gel serum which seems to have fine shimmer particles for a nice sheen on the skin making it look more toned.


Improves skins firmness in 2 weeks leaving it feeling more energised, nourished and protected from drying out.

This has a gorgeous creamy scent and sinks into the skin really well.


Firms the skin in 2 weeks. Energises instantly and reduces the appearance of cellulite even without extra massage in 3 weeks. Suitable for all skin types. Apply to thighs, buttocks and belly without the need for extra massage.

This is a blue gel-cream that seems water based with an unusual scent.


Firms in 2 weeks while intensively moisturising the skin. Nourishing and suitable for stretchmarks. Suitable for all skin types.

Sinks in nicely without being greasy, but the next day it felt like I had a layer of matte soft emollient on my skin which I didn't really like. It says it is suitable for stretchmarks, but does not say it helps them to fade or anything.

Overall I have loved trying out all of these products except the body oil simply because I don't like the product texture that is left on my skin, but others may love it.

All the other products sank into my skin pretty quickly making it feel soft, supple and nourished. I don't seem to have noticed any real difference in the cellulite I have and I haven't become a toned goddess in the last few weeks, but my skin does feel smoother. I love the feel of the cellulite and moisturiser products when I apply them and I can notice a difference in my skin texture. As mentioned above the cellulite serum is great with the sheen it gives for leaner looking limbs.

I am undecided on the powers of these products. I can be a bit lazy when it comes to body moisturising and so I missed a day or two here and there which may/may not have made a difference. However I will continue to use the 3 products that I love because I do feel more body confident when I use them.

BOHO PRIMARK HAUL


Hi loves! I hope your weekend was fantastic. I caught up with a friend of mine which was lovely. Retail therapy always adds to the joy so here is Primark haul for you :)


QUILTED PURSE - £6

My purse was looking a little shabby. I have been using it for years. This new addition I am in love with. It's more of a taupe pink shade than it is showing up in this photo. It has so many compartments perfect for all my bits and bobs.

FRINGE TASSEL BAG - £12

My last handbag broke. I like a large one for every day use with just one compartment so I can chuck things in. Black is my preference for every day. The handle means that the bag hangs at a really nice level (not to high or low). The fringe detail gives any outfit interest, but it's still wearable with so many things.


LACE YOKE BELTED TOPS - REDUCED TO £5 EACH

These were an amazing bargain. I think they look great with or without the belt. I have wanted this sort of style top for a while in crisp white, but I couldn't resist this amazing rust shade too. The sweetheart neckline is modest with the lace detailing around the collar. Because these can be belted I think they are great for girls like me with a little extra on top as usually this floaty style makes me look bigger than I am. I would usually buy a size 10 and sometimes as 12 on top, but I got these in a 6 and they are perfect.

So that's my Primark haul guys. If you would like a 'what's in my handbag' style post let me know in the comments below.

BHS BATH MATS


Hi lovelies. I have a wee home haul for you today. It's just one item, but I picked it up in four colours, eek!



These 100% cotton bath mats from BHS are so soft. You can also pick up the pedestal mats and towels to match if you like. They are 50 x 80cm. The shades I have L-R are bright green, turquoise, light grey and electric blue. I already have ones like this in white and mid grey which is why I didn't get those. These also come in gorgeous bold shades of bright orange, bright yellow and bright pink.

Our bathroom is a very neutral slate grey, beige and cream so I thought these would add a bit of interest.

Share your ideas below for easy ways to style your bathroom.

EUCERIN AQUAPORIN ACTIVE REVITALISING EYE CARE CREAM


Hi sweeties. I have been testing out this Eucerin eye care product which was sent on to me for review purposes so here are my thoughts.



The claims of this eye contour moisturiser are that it adds hydration to give smooth, supple and radiant skin while reducing puffiness and dark circles as well as fine lines. Compatible with sensitive skin and suitable for contact lens wearers.

So does it work?

I found this to be very hydrating keeping puffiness and dark circles at bay. I do not however suffer too often with dark circles though.

I applied this morning and night after my face moisturiser. It works fine under make-up. 

The metal applicator that the product is squeezed through at the end of the tube feels very cooling on the skin which I think aids in reducing puffiness. I do find that it can be a little hard to control the amount of product that comes out so I tend to squeeze a bit out before pressing it onto my skin and smoothing under the eyes. I end up using my finger to smooth excess product into my skin and to wipe the metal part of the tube as it does end up with cream around it.

I think the metal part of the tube is an innovative design, but because it gets a bit messy I guess that is the only negative I can find.

All in all a nice eye cream, but it's not wowed me as much as I had hoped.



Let me know your favourite eye creams in the comments below with your thoughts on this type of design.



Love to you all
