REVIEW // NSpa Vanilla Shower Gel & Scrub


Website  //  Twitter  //  Facebook

So the other day I picked up some new shower gel & scrub and thought I'd share it with you!  The brand is Nspa and I love the items so much that I thought I'd attempt to be a beauty blogger and review them!

Vanilla Shower & Bath Gel - link
This literally smells incredible - Vanilla is one of my favourite scents so having it in the form of a shower gel is great!  For only £3 you get a generous 500ml of product which is excellent value for money - Nspa are definitely one of the most affordable, high-quality brands I've come across.  The gel lathers really well, leaving skin feeling clean with a soft scent.  You can also add a little when running a bath for lots of bubbles and silky bath water which makes the bathroom smell delicious!

Vanilla Shower Scrub - link
I always get really bad dry skin so rely on exfoliators to keep it glowing!  I use this shower scrub about three times a week, mostly on my legs and find it leaves skin smooth with a delicate aroma. You can't really see in the photo, but the scrub has little beads which help rid dry skin and I sometimes use it with my scrubbing gloves if I feel I need a 'deep cleanse', leaving my legs summer ready and prepped for moisturising!

Overall I was very happy with both products and at £3 each they're extremely purse-friendly, especially as the products are of such high quality.  Both smell amazing and after using these I've picked up the coconut shower gel and shea butter moisturiser. They've just started up their social platforms so if you want exclusive sneak peeks of new stuff and opportunities to win products, I've put their details above!

SHATTERED GLASS


Shattered Glass Bowie* // Kwilti
Monokeros Unicorn Jumper* // Drop Dead
Shorts* // Thriftette
Shoes // eBay
Earrings // Thrifted
Necklace // eBay
Rings // Market, Rachael Sudlow, market, Thomas Sabo, market, The Bohemian Collective*
Nails* // Northern Sky Nails

So I've been so excited to post an outfit featuring this unicorn jumper from Drop Dead and I'm so happy with how the photos turned out!  I love pastel colour palettes so much, especially because I usually wear dark or muted colours, so with this look I got to fully express my inner unicorn!  I wanted to have silver accents, so teamed the jumper with the holographic shoes I bought from ebay a little while ago and my Kwilti bowie, which I think is so unique and goes nicely with my pink hair.  It'll be perfect for winter as well as it's lined with thinsulate material so is great for keeping you warm when winter arrives in England (which is about 80% of the year!).

VIDEO // Waves Tutorial & GHD Style & Protect Review

So I received the amazing ghd Style & Protect gift set recently and instead of just reviewing it I thought I would demonstrate them in a video!  I'm not at all confident with curling tongs as I hardly use them, but I tried my best and actually really like how it turned out, definitely will be using them more often.  My hair was so shiny and smooth after using the ghd set so definitely gave me a confidence boost, as it usually is just matt because it's quite damaged.  Hope you like the video!

THE FORCE OF LOVE BEGINNING

Dress* // Madam Rage
Sandals // New Look (old)
Necklace // Blog Sale
Earrings // Topshop
Rings // IRIDESCENT, Brandy Melville, ?, Persunmall*

I love how summery the colours are on this Madam Rage dress!  It fits me so perfectly and the lacy waist is such a nice detail.  I was a little intimidated by the colours at first as I actually ordered a more muted dress, but I've grown to like this one whole lot more and if I was going on holiday this year it would be the perfect day dress.  It would work great if I had some coral jelly shoes, but I already own two pairs so I probably don't need to add any more to my collection!

RED IN TOOTH & CLAW

Sweatshirt* // SheInside
Shorts * // Missguided & DIY
Socks // Topshop
Spiked Coltranes // Jeffrey Campbell
Earring // DIY
Necklace // Thrifted
Rings // Darkside*, market, Primark

I absolutely adore this stained glass print sweatshirt from SheInside, it's so soft and the print is so intricate, it reminds me of the Black Milk leggings that were so big a while ago.  I found it a little difficult to style, but I think it went alright with these Missguided shorts that I DIY'd myself at the blogger party I went to a little while back.  I thought the outfit was too casual for chunky heels, so I stepped into my favourite flats, my spiked Coltranes and I like the final result, although I must apologise for the awful lighting, it was sunset at the time but I was determined to finish taking photos!
