Pastels Wishlist

1. JuJu jelly shoes - Urban Outfitters 
2. Pink dress - Topshop
3. PVC mini - Missguided
4.Smock top - Boohoo
5. Maxi Skirt - New Look
6. Necklace - Miss Selfridge
There have been loads of wishlists popping up recently featuring some gorgeous pastel clothing which i am head over heels in love with at the moment! So i thought i would jump on the bandwagon and share with you some of my favourite pastel finds, the exact links can be found below the picture!

I love everything that i have picked out but i'm just going to talk about a few of my favourites! I still don't own a pair of jelly shoes which i'm totally devastated about! They remind me of my childhood and how much i used to love wearing grown up heels at the beach! There are so many colours of these but these stand out to me because of the gorgeous baby blue colour, i have also found cheaper alternatives to these on ebay so check that out! The PVC mini is still another item that has been on my wishlist a while but i haven't plucked up the courage to buy one because i'm not sure how well it would suit me, i definitely think the baby blue is a better alternative to the black one for me personally, and it will look so good in the spring/summer time without having to wear tights with it. Its no secret that i am still obsessed with statement jewelry, i love the colour of this necklace and its not too over the top, this will look gorgeous with similar pastel colours or just a black or white outfit!

I couldn't find a picture of a primark jumper that i'm currently after but its a pale yellow colour and its a short sleeved fluffy jumper which is so pretty and i haven't actually seen many pastel yellow clothing around so i'm going to have to get it next time i'm in. I cant wait to start purchasing some of these items now!

What do you think of my pastel clothing selection? What are your favourites? Do you like the pastel colours trend? If youve done a similar wishlist leave your link below!

Pearlys professional teeth whitening | Review


Hi everyone! Sorry for my very short absence from the blogging world, ive been very poorly but hopefully i will be on the mend soon! Albeit i haven't blogged for only a few days but i have really missed it and chatting with you all. Anyway, back in November i attended my first bloggers meet and Pearlys were one of the brands that had a little stall up demonstrating some of their products,i also got to meet the lovely Liz who runs the company! While i was there i got to try a teeth brighten powder which is almost like a scrub for the teeth which can be used weekly to help fade stains, i was really impressed with it especially as i didn't know such a product existed! I was lucky enough to also be sent a few of their other products to try out which i have been using for about a month now so i could have a proper chance to see how well the products worked for me and tell you all about them !(Sorry about the Christmas backdrop in the photos i took these a while ago!!).

Having white teeth is something that i think most people dream of,well i do anyway, in the past i have tried many at home treatments including Blanx which i reviewed here. I think with any at home treatment you have to appreciate it wont make your teeth as white as if you have a proper treatment done and it will take more time, although this is a much cheaper and much less abrasive way of doing it.Onto the products that i tested out:


Daily teeth whiten Foam* - The foam is placed on top of your normal toothbrush and i used this twice a day. The product has no bad taste to it all and unlike many teeth whitening products it caused no sensitivity to my teeth at all. Truthfully i don't think it has made a lot of difference to my teeth at all but i am aware that this product needs to be used for a while longer to see real results.


Daily teeth whiten rinse* - I don't normally use a mouth wash with my normal routine but i can definitely see the benefits from using one. It has a very strong minty taste which helped to make my mouth feel fresher for longer and this product helps to prevent further staining to the teeth and i would definitely repurchase for the cleaner feeling my teeth got from using it twice daily.


Teeth whitening pen* - The pen is meant for use maybe once or twice a week and a thin layer should be applied to your teeth while you are smiling, you have to keep the gel on for about a minute until it has dried and then it can be washed off. This is like nothing i have tried before and i was really looking forward to trying it out, as its only to be used once or twice a week i think again this is maybe something that needs to be used more long term but i am prepared to continue using it in the search for whiter teeth!

I hope you enjoyed reading my review on Pearlys and i hope you all have a great weekend! Have you tried any of their products before? What teeth whitening treatments do you use?

Origins Drink Up 10 minute mask | Review

origins-drink-up-review
The worst thing about winter is definitely the dry skin that comes with it. Despite having quite oily skin i get a really dry nose which becomes so obvious and flaky when i apply my makeup. I was on the look out for a mask which would help add the moisture back to my skin but something that wouldn't make my skin more greasy. After asking a few lovely bloggers on twitter for their opinions i headed into my local boots store for the origins counter. I was also interested in the clear improvement charcoal mask  but i was afraid of it making my skin drier than it already was. The shop assistant was so lovely and explained what both of the masks do thoroughly, but the Origins Drink up 10 minute mask was the winner as it was to help target and combat my dry skin and it is also meant to help skin that suffers from breakouts due to stress and this is definitely appropriate for me, when i'm at uni stress is my middle name! This mask costs £22 from Boots, but I was lucky enough to have enough boots points saved up so i was able to treat myself to this before Christmas!

I have used this for about a month now and maybe once or twice a week and i am so in love with this product!! I have never spent much money on my skincare regime and usually stick with trusty Simple which i know works. This mask is probably the most expensive skincare product i have ever bought but my gosh it works and you really do pay for what you get, the only problem this brings is the urgent need to try other expensive skincare items, i see an addiction coming on!!

Anyway onto the mask itself. It is lightly scented with apricot yet it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all which is always something of a concern to me. The formula is really rich and nourishing, but its not greasy at all. I apply quite a thick layer of it to my skin and leave on for 10 minutes but i leave it on for longer if my skin is really dry. As you leave it on you can see that the product sinks into your skin hence it being called a drink up mask! After washing it off i apply a thick layer of my favourite moisturiser to lock it the moisture in. It is a brilliant quick fix for dry skin and i have taken to using this before nights out because my make up goes on incredibly well afterwards because i have no dry patches of skin in sight. This is definitely my favourite mask for the winter and for my dry facial skin and i will definitely repurchase this! I am also looking into more of the Origins products now to see what i can try next so if you use any of their other products which are  good do let me know in a comment below!

What do you think of this product? Have you tried it before? Do you have any other origins recommendations?
