Alexis Smith Lingerie

People say that the best things come in small packages and being only 5ft2 I would agree with this comment. For a girl, the best small package you could receive apart from a diamond ring would be luxurious lingerie, guys take note.

 

Alexis Smith is an online lingerie company specialising in larger cup sizes for smaller framed women. I am defiantly someone under this category with 32Ds  as I have always struggled to find attractive bra sets and now La Senza doesn’t exist, where is a girl meant to go! Alexis Smith are the new saving grace with luxurious lingerie sets. You can buy sets or separates individually.

 

 

I was lucky enough to be sent the Luxury Jade Satin Knickers. These gorgeous satin knickers are soft to the skin with a low rise front. They are the perfect bedroom knicker.

 

If you are looking for comfortable but sexy every day lingerie or something flirty to keep your partners pulses raising Alexis Smith is a company to have a look at.

Since joining The Bloggers Hub I have been given some great opportunities. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them.

 

Exuviance Purifying Cleanser

     I came across Exuviance last month when I attended The Bloggers Hub Fashion Week. Exuviance skin care products help to improve the signs of ageing, giving you the salon treatment experience but all in the comfort of your own home.

These powerful ingredients have been clinically proven to:

• Promote a healthy skin barrier
• Improve skin texture and tone
• Add firmness and suppleness to skin
• Refine pore size
• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Help reduce age spots and hyperpigmention
• Moisturise dry skin
• Enhance skin’s ability to retain moisture
• Unblock and cleanse pores
• Help manage oily and acne prone skin

     Over the last 3 weeks I have been using Exuviance Purifying Cleansing Gel every morning and evening. Its an anti-aging face cleanser with Alpha and Polyhydroxy Acids to soothe and improve the skin's texture. This soap free, foaming cleanser gently washes away makeup, surface oils and impurities without altering skin’s natural moisture balance. The cleanser is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

My Experience

I have always used Clearasil from a young age and have had no problems but I'm always keen to try new products, especially a product which is anti-aging (I'm not getting any younger). My skin has always been fairly spot free, I carry a few stubborn black heads on the nose, a oily T-Zone but I'm doing pretty well with the wrinkles but at 25 this could change at any moment. If I start with the anti-aging products now I'm hoping I will carry this youthful skin for a few more years.

I started using the Cleanser a few days before my time of the month which is always my worst time, but isn't this the case for every girl! I usual get a few spots on the chin and maybe the odd one on my nose.
Please excuse the non make-up pictures but how else would you see the results.

Week 1

 

As you can see I have the monthly demons popping up on my face but this is normal. Each morning and night I have been cleansing my face with warm water and a flannel. The cleanser is soft to use and has a nice smell. After the first week of using the cleanser I didn't feel much of a difference. My skin cleared  within a few days.

Week 2

The spot on my chin is still hanging on but my forehead has cleared. The scratch on my face was caused by my nephew and I was very interested to see if the cleanser would help this. Now having used the cleanser for 2 weeks I have started feeling a difference in my skin. My skin feels tighter and my oily T- Zone has dried out. My skin does feel dry so I have been using a Nivea Moisturiser but no dry patches have been caused.

Week 3

The scratch on my face has healed well with minimal scaring. My skin is still feeling tight and fresh. I have had a few more blemishes and spots than what I would normally have throughout the 3 weeks. I think Exuviance Cleansing Gel is a very good product. I can defiantly feel a difference in my skin I just feel the cleanser is too strong for my skin to use as a product alone. I will defiantly carry on using the cleanser but once I have purchased the Glycolic Expert Moisturiser.

Exuviance can be brought from Surgery's, beauty spas, and Clinic. You can also buy online at StrawberryNET.com

Argan Oil for £1

This is my first entry for beauty on my blog so I wanted to make it something good and when I say good I mean bargain good! I have finally found a hair mask which has made wonders to my hair.

I have always had long hair since a little girl and at the age of 15 when all my friends cut there hair I kept mine. I felt smug at the age of 17 when hair extensions where the in thing because everyone wanted there long hair back. My mum would trim my hair and I would have a professional hair cut once a year. Now I've moved out I get my hair cut once a year professionally. Through out the year my hair is healthy, hair dries easily and can be looked after with no problem but the last few months it changes quickly. The ends become heavy, its hard to dry and when brushing it turns into a huge fluffy bush. I needed to find a solution and quick and who knew I would find my solution on the shelf at PoundLand.

 

 

My solution goes my name Argan Oil. I started with the Argan oil Shampoo which you use like normal shampoo. The main treatment and magic happened with the Argan Oil hair mask. The hair mask is enriched with proteins, keratin which is derived from the Moroccan Argan tree. Its moisturising properties help to revive and nourish dry and damaged hair.

After shampooing I towel dried my hair and placed 3 golf ball sized amounts of the cream on my hair from root to tip, left for 7 minutes and then rinsed under warm water. I finished off the treatment by conditioning the tips of my hair but it felt like it didn't need. 

  Argan Oil hair mask is an intensive treatment that helps rebuild strength and restore elasticity. Its specially formulated to help improve texture and manageability, leaving hair looking healthy and shiny and can be used on all types of hair.
 

 Before: I didn't take proper pictures of my hair before as I didn't think I would see a difference. These pictures are from last weeks blog post.

 

Before the treatment my hair felt dry, heavy and like I had too much of it, it wouldn't settle. I really didn't have high expectations for the hair mask but after drying my hair it felt like silk. I have never felt my hair feel so light and free. My hair is easy to brush, knot free and really swishy. I would 100% recommended this product not because it cost £1 but because I feel it works, did I mention it only cost £1!

After: Visually you may not be able to see a great difference but to feel there is a great difference.

For £1 you can't go wrong. Argan oil can be brought from most beauty shops but to buy it for the nice price of £1 go to PoundLand or B&M.

Let me know in the comment box below if you give the product a go and how you get on.

 

Seventies Suede

Jacket - H&M (similar)|Jeans - River Island| Boots New Look



I've really fallen in love with the Seventies Style this season. I think it can suit all body shape's and can give you curves in all the right places if worn correctly.

I've been a lover of skinny jeans for a few years now but when you are just shy of 5ft 2 with thick thighs, skinny's aren't the most forgiving. When the seventies style hit the catwalk this S/S I couldn't wait to get myself a pair flares. Flare have quickly become my best go to jean and really suit my shape. These River Island kick flares are perfect, they gradually get wider at the knee, creating the illusion of a slimmer leg.

If your going to embrace the seventies feel, its a all or nothing kind of look. So I couldn't wait to team my flares with this gorgeous suede jacket/shirt from H&M. It can be worn as a shirt, jacket, done up or undone, its so versatile and for £29.99 its worth ever penny. The tie around the waist is just in the right place to bring your waist in and create more curves.

This look is great for overcast and rainy days like today.

Have a great Easter holiday guys and keep being confident with fashion.
