A Few Holiday Outfits


1. Vest - H&M / Shorts - Primark

2. Vest - Topshop / Shorts - Miss Selfridge (Christmas sale) / Sandals - Primark

3. Playsuit - H&M (Last summer) / Sandals - Primark

These are just a few of my night time outfits I wore while I was away on holiday. I went to Magaluf a few weeks ago now on a girly holiday. The weather was gorgeous and hot, but it did get quite chilly and windy at night. I didn't take anything too over the top and basically just lived in shorts and vests/crop tops at night, with the occasional dress or playsuit. I didn't buy anything too expensive as I knew it was more than likely going to get ruined from the crazy drinking nights out... kinda! Doing this post is giving me major holiday blues, good job I have another in the pipe line! Yay!

What are your favourite outfits to wear when you're on holiday?

Green Envee Organics



























A few weeks ago I was contacted by Green Envee Organics and they asked if I would be interested in trying and reviewing some of their products. I have to admit I hadn't heard of their company before, so I was very interested in learning more and obviously trying some of their products. They are an American-based company who specialise in organic products that promote and specialise in aromatherapy, homoeopathic and spiritual products.

I wanted the products to be a total surprise, so gave them free choice of what they wanted to send me... and I definitely was not disappointed! I firstly received their lovely little note to me wishing me happy birthday, which was such a nice touch. The products were packaged so nicely too, which always impresses me. I'd like to say all the products were sample sized, but with three products they went up and above, and it looks like I got full sized goodies to try - amazing!

I received all the big products in 'Brazilian Orange & Litsea' - which sounds amazing before I've even smelt/sampled them. I got sent a bar soap, body lotion and aroma mist in that, then different small sachets. These included: 'Tunisian Rosemary & Peppermint', 'French Lavender & Chamomile' and 'Indonesian Patchouli & Orange.' You have to admit, they all sound absolutely gorgeous just from reading the names!

Now for the smaller samples...I received a body scrub, body oil, body lotion and body wash, each one in a different flavour.What I loved about these is that each product comes with an information card, which fully explains the description, instructions on how to use them and finally a low-down on the ingredients. I've never seen this used with samples before and it was so handy to have and actually quite nice to read.

I can't wait to start trying out all these lovely products, as I've only had a spritz of the aroma mist yet. I know I'm going to absolutely love everything labelled 'Brazilian Orange & Litsea' - judging from the aroma mist, the scent is to DIE for! Yum! Keep your eyes pealed for more little posts about these products bloggers, I'm so excited to start trying.

BeTrousse Beauty Box 2 - Product Reviews

























Fair Naturally Mango & Safflower Moisturiser - £3.99 (*)
Jason Normalising Shampoo - £7.29 (*)
Make Believe Beauty Shimmer Lip Gloss - £10.00 (*)

It has literally taken me SO long to get back into blogging with everything that I've had going on, but I'm back and ready to show you guys everything I've been up to! I literally received this BeTrousse box in April, and have just got round to writing a review of some of the products, so I apologise massively.

These are the only three products that I've had chance to try properly, and all in all I was really impressed. This is my second box and I'm just as impressed with the amazing full sized products, its literally one of my favourite every beauty boxes. I'll start by saying that the Fair Naturally Mango & Safflower Moisturiser is THE best smelling thing ever! I love the smell of Mango so this was a winner straight away, not to mention it actually leaves your skin feeling so soft. I used it while I was on holiday and was so impressed, thank god I've got a bit left to carry on using.

I was really impressed with the Jason Normalising Shampoo too. I don't usually try a huge amount of hair products, as I kind of know what works for me. I decided to brave this shampoo for a few tries and really loved it. I found that if I used too much it did make my hair feel really stiff, so just be wary on the amount you do use. When I finally got the proportions right, my hair was so shiny after and I actually got compliments from people asking if I had dyed my hair... which is always a bonus is my books!

The third product I tried out from the box was the Make Believe Beauty Shimmer Lip Gloss. I'm not a massive fan of lip gloss and I only tend to wear it on the odd occasion. This gloss was a really lovely pale pinky peach colour with a little bit of sparkle, which I have to admit I wasn't really fond of. It felt quite sticky when I applied it at first, but that soon faded and I liked it. I'm going to keep it in my bag and keep trying it, I just wish it wasn't so glittery.

Yet again BeTrousse has exceeded my expectations and I am so impressed! I actually love their boxes and I'm definitely going to catch up on the rest of the products and try them out, so watch this space bloggers!
