Review: Mr.Blanc




(I haven't edited either of these pictures, it's just the lighting that is different but you can definitely tell the strips worked.)

We all strive for them pearly whites but with so many products and procedures out there what is safe for us to use on our teeth? Enter Mr.Blanc. Mr.Blanc offer fuss free teeth whitening strips which are non peroxide and enamel safe at amazing value, so carry on reading to see how I got on. 

Firstly, I absolutely love how clear and bold the packaging is. There's no fussing about and it's straight to the point which I really love. Now to applying; quite frankly it was super easy. The only problem I had with applying was the fact I have wonky bottom teeth so the strips didn't cover them like they did my top teeth but that's my problem and not Mr.Blanc's. The instructions instruct you to wear the strips for half an hour and even after the first day with the strips on I noticed a difference. 

I started to use these at night but when I woke up I found the whiteness had faded so when using these I'd suggest you to use them in the morning so you can enjoy a full day of pearly whites.

Pros
  • Super affordable.
  • Minty flavour.
  • Easy application.
  • Quick working.
  • Quick fix.
Cons
  • Not long lasting.

Would I purchase these myself? Probably not as I feel the whiteness didn't last but for special occasions I'd definitely invest.

Seventies Lovin'







My obsession for the 70's has clearly grown to insane levels and I love it. The seventies is back in full force this summer with flares, patchwork, vintage print and fringing and the highstreet is embracing it. I saw these aztec print flares on Asos and they are my new favourite things...Ever! Not only are these beautiful and bang on trend but they are soooo comfortable. They are a jersey material so a little like leggings but don't look like that at all. They definitely aren't just printed leggings as the flared leg and high waist makes them so much more 'trouser like'. I love how great these trousers look with lace and crochet and have such a festival theme which is perfect for summer. These can be found in a lot if places with so many different styles and prints so have a search round; you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Wrap Top and Culottes







So firstly let's start with this beautiful Paisley wrap blouse which I bought from Boohoo. Nothing says summer more than bright patterns and silky material with a cheeky bit of boob. I'm a sucker for Paisley and have been wanting to try a wrap top for a while as I think they're really flattering, and it didn't disappoint. In the picture I haven't used a top underneath which you can see is a bit risky but I'm telling you, when you sit down in this top you may as well be topless so for leaving the house I'd definitely suggest a little strap top under. Other than that this is a winner; it's a lovely silky loose fabric which is great for summer and it's something a bit different.

Again I've been waiting to try culottes out for a long time but have always been a bit dubious as I'm quite short, nevertheless I gave them a go and I love them. If your below 5.7 like me I'd definitely say these are to be worn with heels or the cut off at the leg will just make you look even shorter. They are a lovely stretchy crepe material and super versatile with the high waist which means I can definitely see myself wearing these with tshirts, shirts, jumpers and would look amazing with crop tops and a bralette.

I promise you guys I will write about these stunning shoes just not in this post as I don't want it to be too long but you can still go and check them out below.

Crepe Joggers





Hey guys, so today I fancied a bit of a change. If you know me or follow my blog then you'll know I live in jeans, especially black skinnies so when I saw these in Warehouse I was really excited to style them. I was surprised to see online that these are classed as joggers as they have such a rich, thick, textured material that I probably wouldn't wear them as slouchy joggers. Saying that, they are super comfy with an elasticated draw string waist and stretchy crepe material. 

It can be difficult to find stylish and comfy pieces sometimes but these joggers hit both nails on the head. They are also so versatile for any weather and really easy to dress up with a bralet and jacket or dress down with a jumper like I have. 

Quick word about this jumper...I did purchase this a few years ago at The Clothes Show Live and haven't been able to to find it anywhere else but there is another company that I absolutely love called Rock On Ruby who give you the change to personalize garments with quotes like the one above. It adds a really fun and personal side to your clothes and you can wear what your thinking. Check out Rock On Ruby HERE and get personal.

Review: SkinnyMint






So for the last 28 days I've been on the SkinnyMint Teatox and honestly, I've loved it and am quite sad its over. I'm not a big fan of fruity teas and am very sceptical of teatoxs but I'm open to try anything. The morning boost tea is a beautiful fruity blend and includes Strawberries, Green tea and Grapefruit to name just a few. Unlike other teas I've tried, your not left with a nasty taste in your mouth and its a really refreshing and nice tea to drink in the morning. The morning boost claims to Increase energy, reduce appetite and burn fat. I definitely found that it reduced my appetite and I will tell you about my weight loss in a bit; for me two of the three worked.

The Night cleanse is meant to be taken every other night as it does have laxative qualities, which I was nervous about as my body is so sensitive to different things, but I found it very gentle on my body. I wasn't forever on the toilet with uncomfortable bowels so again it was a pleasure to drink before I went to bed. Your meant to leave the tea bag in for 2-3 minutes unlike the morning one which 4-5 as the night time cleanse is very strong. If I ever left the tea bag in for too long it was quiet unpleasant and very peppery. The night cleanse includes ginger root, peppermint and orange leaves but for me it was just like peppermint tea which I love anyway. 

Now weightloss; for the first two weeks I was on a strict diet and was only eating 1,400 calories while drinking the tea and I lost 7 pounds. I didn't feel any different but I defiantly lost weight. for the last two weeks I finished my diet and didn't lose any weight. For me this was a great weightloss aid, like anything there is no quick fix so if your wanting to lose weight and are dedicated to staying healthy then from my experience you will lose weight.

Would I buy this product again? Yes but only if I'm sticking to healthy eating. Check SkinnyMint out HERE.

Oversized Denim









My love for oversized shirts is never ending and I've just added this beauty to the collection. I've been looking for a denim shirt for a long time now but but I can never really find the right wash, cut or material but I saw this on Boohoo the other day and instantly knew I had to have it, especially as it was only 16 pounds. The model on Boohoo was wearing it with just a black pair of jeans and a small silver necklace but the style of the shirt made it look so powerful. The shirt is cotton but Boohoo have really pulled off the denim look well which keeps it off the tacky scale 100%.

This shirt can be so easily dressed up or down with a jersey skirt and gladiator sandals like me or if you wanted to make it super edgy, teaming it with a black leather jacket , skinny jeans and a pair of biker boots. Tucked in or out, buttoned up or down there is no doubting this shirt is a staple item to have in your wardrobe so get on the denim shirt train. Also quick tip, I had a bit of trouble checking out on Boohoo for some reason or anonther, so I wrote out a tweet saying 'Boohoo why you no work' (not expecting anything back) but in seconds the Boohoo help team tweeted back and you guessed it...helped me. The guy was so kind and helpful so if you do ever have any trouble,  be sure to give them a cheeky tweet.

Boohoo Lace










For me, this summer is all about lace. Lace is an essential summer piece as it's so light weight, pretty and will go with just about anything. Not only is it beautiful to look at but it's bang on trend fitting in with the 70's vibe that is so stylish right now. Lace is super sexy, edgy and versatile so don't be afraid to experiment with different lace garments.

I bought this lace top from Boohoo the other day and I can honestly say it's one of them items that you see online and doesn't disappoint when it gets delivered. It was an absolute steal at only 12 quid so it really would have been rude not to. I don't like tops to be too tight on me as I don't like my belly and as it's such a sheer fabric, which is why I ordered a size 14 instead of a size 12 and I'm really happy I did. Of course it's personal preference and sizing but if you do want it looser definitely go for a size up. The cut, fabric, detailing and like I said before versatility are perfect for throwing together a day to night outfit without trying too hard. Boohoo are really great for bohemian bits right now and I really cannot recommend them or this top enough. Lace is more ladies, lace is more.
