vaccination and awesome matcha tea 

I have to start a 3 course vaccination in December for my year abroad :<  My auntie and uncle sent me some matcha tea, which is pretty weird, but cool. I hate how it doesn't dissolve though :< Great for my metabolism though. 

I really need to get back into shape. My aim is to do over 10miles a week in running.

I bought some nail varnish on a whim from Miss Sporty.

Cost: £1.99
Application: wide thick brush which makes it really easy and quick to apply.
Pros: only need one coat, very shiny
Cons: chips really easily

Buy again? no


Do have to have any vaccinations?

Dr Scholl Slimming Tights Review

So when I was in HK I bought some slimming tights, I know I have slim thighs, but my calves are sometimes too big for boots and stretches out cute prints on knee socks, so I thought I would give it a try.

Dr Scholl Tights

I had seen them in 2010 when I went back to Hong Kong for a wedding (this post), they price has increased since I last saw them, but it was cheaper than buying it online. It was around £25 (320HKD)

Before

Before Measurements (taken stood up)

Hips: 94.5cm

Top of Thighs: 54.5cm

Mid Thigh:47.5cm

Above Knee: 36cm

Calve: 33.5cm

Ankle: 21cm

after (sorry my legs actually look bigger)

After Measurements (taken stood up)

Hips: 92.5cm

Top of Thighs: 54cm

Mid Thigh:47cm

Above Knee: 36cm

Calve: 33cm

Ankle: 21cm

I also wore them after my half marathon, and they helped my legs recover, they stopped aching after wearing them for two nights. I think they are great for aching legs, but I was really disappointed in the 'slimming effect', I was hoping to lose at least 1cm in the calves.

VERDICT
great for aching legs, but except significant results.

BUY AGAIN
If I continue running.

Have you tried slimming products before?

Neue Lila Haare

Thanks Mr Nice Guy for dying and bleaching my hair :)

Credits

He bleached it twice and then we dyed over it with Schwarzkopf Live Mystic Violet.


(slightly effected by the fumes of the bleach)

He wanted to let my hair rest for a couple of days but I was too impatient so we did it all in the same day. I don't think I could last a whole week being this blonde!




The underlayer of my fringe and bits of the side are a light pink/purple, but you can only see it in the sunlight or when I wear a side fringe.


Pros
doesn't fade out easily
one box for whole head of hair
cheap
plenty of colours to choose from
works on thick hair
easy to get off skin
easy to get ahold of

Cons
very itchy
30minutes to wait after application
not very easy to apply (but what home hair dye is)


The colour is really rich and the dye didn't dry out my hair. It was itchy on my scalp, but Schwarzkopf is the only dye I've used, and it's really effective on my Asian hair. The price was cheap considering it's permenant and I only needed to use one box. I've been purple before, so it wasn't a dramatic change, but I really like how it makes me look paler and I think the colour brings out my eye colour more, or that could just be me :p


I wasn't sponsored for the review, but I wanted to show off my new hair colour ^_^ Thanks again Mr Nice Guy.

Remember Be Colour Safe!

Fake Tattoos [sponsored review]

Fake Tattoo kindly sponsored me for this review! I was really flattered and excited so here it is.
Fake Tattoos are the biggest in Europe regarding temporary tattoos.



They even sent me an anchor :3 I love sailor related itmes.
I followed the instructions, which were simple and easy. It took me a minute to apply it on
the Anchor Tattoo, and it looks realistic! I'll be stocking up on this little beauties.



Personally I love temporary tattoos, but I've found other temporary tattoos are very shiny and crack easily but not Fake Tattoos' products! I love how this one didn't have a sheen to it and stayed on quite well. They are really light and comfortable and are totally safe on my sensitive skin! They are meant to last 3 - 10days, but mine lasted 2 days becuase I scratch alot :(


Why temporary tattoos over real ones?
No pain
A fraction of the cost
no need to walk around wrapped in cling film
no risk of infection
quick and easy
no age restriction
and it's temporary!


Fake vs Real

Mr Nice Guy has a couple of tattoos (the ones on his knuckles are in UV ink though) so I used his tattoo for a comparison on how a real one looks against a temporary one.
Several of my friends actually thought I had got a tattoo!
Their reaction was priceless:')


They have a wide range of tattoos; you can even design your own, so check them out!
They deliver worldwide aswell.

I've thought of getting real tattoos, but I don't want to live to regret it.

All ABout Me Me Me!

I've become a little bit addicted to mascaras and bought a new one to play with. I've heard waterproof mascaras aren't that great for your eyelashes, but it was super cheap so I bought it anyway. I think waterproof will be my go to type when I go to gigs.

Pros: doesn't smudge
doesn't flake off
lasts long (photos taken after wearing for 8 hours)
'dramatic' eyelashes
gets into the corners easily because of the flexible brush
one coat is enough

Cons: clumpy
boring packaging.....
hard to find


I've been knitting aswell to use up my yarn. I'm trying to declutter the house by using you my material and such lol, since I have boxes of the stuff XD

I planned to use Esty, but I don't have a credit card, so I'm setting up a Folksy instead :)

I was thinking £2.50 for a pair of hair ties and 80p for a bow brooch? Please help me price them please ^^

What else would you like to see me sell?

Rimmel and Maybelline Mascara Reviews

I used to have really short eyelashes, so I was eager to try out Rimmel's Lash Accelerator Mascara, I was really surprised that it actually worked! It was around 2weeks, when I started noticing a difference, it's not a massive difference, but it's still worth the try, since now I can see the difference whilst wearing other mascaras.

Pros
Lashes are longer
Lashes start to naturally curl and become thicker

Cons
you have to wear it daily for around month

I would buy again and again :) I would really recommend it to people with straight and short eyelashes.

The photo below is before and after using The Colossal Volume Express Mascara from Maybelline. The first time I used it, I didn't find it that great, it flaked off easily and didn't give me much impact, but after my lash growth I tried using it again, and it was very effective :)

Pros
Lashes look thicker with volume
Really defined look

Cons
Smells weird, flakes off more easily than Rimmel's

I wouldn't buy it again, but my friends recommended it to me.
I would wear Maybelline's on a night out, but I prefer Rimmel's since it promotes lash growth and doesn't smell weird or flake off XD
Remember the fashion show, I was so excited about ^^? Nothing went right, and no one came to support me, lol same old same old...

I wasn't sponsored for the reviews, I just really wanted to recommend the Lash Accelerator XD

Holiday Skin - Review

Apparently fake tan can help make your legs look slimmer and can fix the look of uneven coloured skin, which is pretty much the story of my whole body because of my excema. I saw both of these benefits :3

Before & After

The photos were taken around a month apart(I've upped my fitness in the past month). I saw a difference after the first application in my skin it wasn't a big difference and the colour of of my skin didnt change until a couple of hours after application. After 3-5 applications I liked the colour and after that it became a bit orangey and fake looking.

It was very easy to apply, you may need to rub it in more to make it absorb faster. I was very pleased and would recommend this and also buy it again!

The colour didn't rub off or stain my clothes.

When I put a plaster on my leg the colour of the tan came off, so I wouldn't recommend waxing your legs if you still want the colour to stay.

The tan fades quite quickly like after two baths. So I normally take a day break and then build it back up. The coloured didn't fade much when i was in the swimming baths.

Johnson's Holiday Skin Review
Texture : Quite thick
Smell: I disliked it but it soon goes away.
Colour/tan: I like how natural it looks and non streaky!
Application : Just like moisturiser, very easy.
Effect: it made my skin very soft, but took a while to dry.

Excema : it didn't argravte my excema, but it didn't help it either.

Price: It's a moisturiser and a fake tan so i think the price is pretty good!
rrp £5-6 I bought it for £1.99
Rating: 9/10

Intensive 7 Days Garnier Review
Texture : Quite thick
Smell: I disliked it at first but now I like it :) It reminds me of chocolate.

Effect:Even if I miss a day my skin still feels soft!

Excema : it helped my skin overall and the fact I don't have to put it on all the time makes it even better!

Price: rrp £2-3 (250ml) I bought it for £1.50
Rating: 9/10
I got the cocoa butter one, and the mango one aswell( I think they have 3 or 4 different versions). The mango one smells so much better, but it's very runny and is nowhere near as hydrating as the cocoa butter version. I would experiment with which one works better for you though. They come in small bottles and larger bottles :3

*I only used the fake tan on my legs aswell. I have no idea how the product would look where the skin naturally creases... It's a subtle difference but I like it :)

I bought new shoes. I finally got some converse! I got them from GetTheLabel. It took three working days and was quite easy to order. the only probelm is they are both size 6 but the black ones are a bit tighter than the converse, but I guess that is down to the factory and not the website.



I wasn't paid for this review and I bought all the products myself.
What's your opinion of tanning?

Circle Lenses Mini Review

Just a quick post!I've finally managed to put on my lenses! I bought them last summer, but I couldn't get them in:(

can you see a difference?
I tried again and it was just as difficult, but after watching Calia's YT vid, it gave me more confidence to keep trying.

They are a pretty colour ^^

I bought the Violet version of the wind series via Calia Yang from Kiwiberry1

Swollen Eye
My eyes became swollen/sore for a little bit, and it was quite uncomfortable for the first 20mintues.

With Flash
They took me around 20minutes to get in. Walking and watching TV was fine, but when I was playing on the laptop I started getting headaches so I took them out. Taking them out caused me alot of distress, because it took me around 20mins to get them out XD

Overall I think they are a nice colour, but I'm still not convinced by them, maybe they are just not for me. Sorry for not wearing make up aswell XD I wore them for 3hours before getting headaches, however my mum used to get headaches whilst wearing contacts, so maybe it's hereditary. Don't take my word for it since I had to resit Biology D:

Before/ After
My fringe was getting too long so I cut it myself. It's wonky, but I think it's reasonably okay XD
Do you cut your own fringe do you have any tips?

Are you a contact lense newbie?
