Spartoo: A website that has it all?
Hi All!!
A cool website I had never heard of has been brought to my attention recently and I will be posting alot more about it over a period of time so watch this space. This website goes by the name of Spartoo and if you have also not heard of it I would advise you to check it out.
I personally love that they sell shoes, bags and accessories for Men, Women and Children by many popular brands such as Adidas, Morgan, Miss Sixty and Ugg. Having had a look through the website it seems easy to navigate, has loads to browse through and in all honestly I have found myself liking alot of the items; especially those from the clearance section. You must all know me too well by now, I am a die hard fan of discounted items.
I found that after searching through the site for a while I came across some hidden gems, and this is something all shoppers must keep in mind with this site. Although my initial thoughts were that I couldn't really see items that were really me I actually took the time to search through and came across quite a few items that I really liked. I even gave my fella the opportunity to see what he thought and he too gave the site a thumbs up for the boys.
I just wanted to show you some gems this site has to offer......

Early birthday present to myself.. MEOW!!
Hi All!!
Ok so my 24th birthday is fast approaching: Thursday 16th September. I always treat myself to a pressie to myself, this year I was going to ge some Minx Nails done in leopard print but unfortunately could not get them done on extensions so I declined to have them done and will now be going to my usual nail technician Dawn who is also my boyfriends sister!!
But I took the plunge, I bought something so daring even i'm not so sure i'll pull the look off. Yes ladies and gents I have purchased myself some thigh high leopard print boots!!
At just £35 in sale at Office from £90 I couldn't resist them. I love that I can wear them three ways also:
♥ Thigh high
♥ The top folded over for a pirate boot effect
♥ Scruched down to ankle/mid calf height
I'm not so sure what outfits I will pull together with them; either way they will have to be understated as these boots scream 'look at me'! I know alot of people either love or hate any sort of animal print.. i'm definately a faux fur supporter, but i just adore some of the prints.
You can see my previous post about Leopard being one of the A/W trends for 2010 here and my boots are actually the first photo I included in the post!!!
I can't wait to wear them!!

Review: Arbonne FC5 Skincare
Hi All!
I have kindly been given some Arbonne skincare products to review by Jeni at JRS Make-up Artist. I was happy to give them ago as even at 23 years old I tend to break out alot. Due to having pretty awkward skin I thought why not as I seem to have tried every skincare product out there and have only ever really been 90% happy with using Nutrogena the brand I currently use; plus I had never heard of this brand before.
Jeni gave me three products from the FC5 range which you can view here and this is my review....
Step One
Purifying Cleanser & Toner Face Wash

Jeni gave me three products from the FC5 range which you can view here and this is my review....
Step One
Purifying Cleanser & Toner Face Wash
It's Purpose:
Cleanse and tones skin with this cooling, refreshing formula that visibly reduces oiliness and helps keep skin looking young, fresh and clean. With fresh strawberry cell extracts and Matte Fresh™ Complex
My thoughts:
I used this twice a day for just over a week and my skin has cleared up beautifully. I am honestly so shocked and cannot praise it enough. The texture is just like any other face wash but the scent is so nice. You only need a small amount and it foams up a bit before you rub it into your skin. Price wise I use to spend around £5/6 for my skincare but for £18.50 I really don't mind paying this for the result I have gained.
Step Two
Oil Absorbing Day Lotion with SPF5
Its Purpose:
Keep skin looking radiant and refreshed with this oil-free moisturiser that helps to absorb oil, giving a fresh, cool sensation to skin. Contains antioxidants and filters UV rays to help prevent sunburn and maintain younger looking skin. With fresh kiwi cell extracts and Matte Fresh™ Complex.
My thoughts:
After washing my face I would apply a small amount of this moisturiser and it made my skin feel very smooth. Again the scent of Kiwi's with this is lush which makes the experience even better. I would say this face cream is on the same level as the Nutrogena Visibly Clear Oil-free moisturiser and in all honesty I would not pay £30 for this. As good as it is, I do believe I gain the same effect from Nutrogena... a much cheaper product.
Step Three
Hydrating Eye Creme
Its Purpose:
Soothing, hydrating formula minimises the appearance of dark circles and fine lines to help brighten and revitalise, promoting a more youthful look. With fresh kiwi cell extracts and Moisture Fresh™ Complex.
My thoughts:
Hands up who has dark circles under their eyes? *both hands goes up* This tub of eye cream could last for ages! Just by dabbing a tiny pea size amount under my eyes until all absorbs my under eyes are noticeable lighter. I have even been told by a family member that she can see the difference! Priced at £25 this is definately an investment buy and will last a long time.
Overall verdict:
Definately a brand I will be using from now on, I already have my fav on order with Jeni. I would definately recommend the use of the oily/comby products for anyone who has awkward skin like mine. I feel so much happier about wearing less make-up after using this! *THUMBS UP*

Mini Review: Compeed Blister Patches
Hi All!
This is just a quick post to share my recommendation for this product!
I'm not so sure why but I have noticed that some of my new shoes/heels that I've bought have really been rubbing and giving me sore feet *sad face* My feet are definately NOT getting any bigger that's for sure. But I decided to do something about it instead of just walking around in agony. So I purchased some of these Compeed Blister patches; and they actually work *happy face*

If you've never tried these before and you get sore feet from rubbing shoes I would definately recommend this product. Honestly after putting them on, I didn't feel anything, it felt like second skin. My feet have also healed up too!
*Thumbs Up*
