UGG appreciation!

 

Hope everyone is okay especially after this storm in England. Hope you are all safe and cosy indoors.

Seen as winter is in full swing I have been after pair of Ugg boots for quite a while, the cheap high street ones just don’t last at all. For years of wear Uggs are well worth the investment.

Everyone knows the Australian brand Ugg, every winter I see people supporting Ugg boots! The boots themselves are made from real sheepskin and are lined with fleece. Hello warm feet!

So after weeks of deciding I have finally settled on a pair I will be buying next pay day. Behold the Ugg Blaise boots. I am absolutely loving these boots, they have their own unique look making them very different to the standard Ugg boots. The boots feature gold hardware which I feel smartens them up a little more; this makes them a lot more versatile. They also feature a buckle, zip and of course the signature Ugg label on the back! Love!

Do you have a favourite pair of UGG boots? If so let me know in the comments.

REVIEW: Cocoa Brown 1 hour tan £7.99

Cocoa Brown tan*

A 1 hour tanning mousse that actually gives great results!

I had read so many good reviews about the Cocoa Brown 1 hour tanning mousse that it was silly not to try it! Aptly named the Cocoa Brown tan was created by award winning Melissa Carter who started her own business at just 21.

This tanner is a mousse which I would say is the easiest and will give you a faultless application for a majority of the time. The packaging is also very girly with the bright pink! Unlike other mousse tanners I have tried the Cocoa Brown tan mousse’s consistency is actually quite thick; it’s not just foam. I feel this helps provide a much smoother application.

I applied mine with a tanning mitt - I would recommend working in small areas as the skin absorbs it really quickly. This tan works in layers so depending on the colour you are wanting you would go over the area again. I applied two layers and you can see the results!

Unlike most tans the Cocoa Brown tan doesn’t have the typical ‘biscuity’ smell. It actually is floral scented. Now i’m personally quite sensitive to floral scented products so i did sneeze quite a bit but would I put up with that for the impressive results? Yes, I would indeed! At £7.99 how can you turn down a product that has such great results.

Cocoa Brown tan has recently launched in Superdrug, also sold at Primark, you can view the full range here- www.cocoabrown.ie

My MAC blush palette

Low and behold my MAC blusher palette, Breezy on the left and Plum Foolery on the right.

I put together this little palette sometime last year I think, did I use it? Hardly. I even had it up for sale until very recently I realised these colours are perfect for a/w.

Breezy on the left is a deep plum shade with slight shimmer, Plum foolery on the right is a peachy plum shade with shimmer too.

There is no doubt about the pigmentation, MAC blushers are known for their great pigmentation but I think I wasn’t using it as much was because I have been leaning towards peach shades more recently?

Do you have any MAC blush suggestions I could add to this palette?

Graze - Free Nibble box!

A while ago now the Graze box was the hype around the bloggersphere. I didn’t take any notice of it until the other day I thought to myself Why Not?! I am on a junk food ban so the Graze box is a fantastic alternative also especially if you are super indecisive when it comes to food shopping like me.

My first box was free with a code I found online: WIN! In each box you get 4 items from a selection of well over 50. When I went onto the website I had the option of choosing what I like, love would try or would bin and then with that in mind the people over at Graze sent a selection! I am so happy with the variety of products I received.

The Pitted Olives with Harrisa are fiery and super tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed the Herby bread basket it had all my favourites; little garlic croutons, miniature basil bread sticks and mini rice crackers! Best of all the pot was only 90 calories. In my box I also received Cheesy crisps with a chilli tomato dip, so good! And last but not least sweet popcorn, which I am saving as I have heard its very good!

Graze do a selection of little ‘treats’ from seeds to whole fruit, olives, flapjacks, dips etc but they have now expanded their range to miniature puddings too! The also cater for dietary requirements.

You can sign up for a weekly, fortnightly or a monthly box and it is only £3.89 per box with free delivery! You can cancel at any time which is also great.

I am so excited to receive my next box! If you would like a free box feel free to go over to the Graze.com website and type in my code ALYL973LP to get your first box free! You can also get your fifth box free if you subscribe for longer.
