Saving money: Lingerie

Hello beautiful!

Every woman knows that the right underwear can make you feel a million pounds. Not only is it an everyday essential - but it is also a big component for creating body confidence. This is probably the reason why women spend £836 on their underwear collection!

For students however, the cost will be on a smaller scale - with girls opting for a cost-effective Primark bra than the luxury of Ann Summers or La Senza.

With this is mind, I have been browsing the web to look for more affordable but luxury bras for us poor students and I came with a solution.

Ann Summers have an amazing sale sections that - to my knowledge - is always available. The amount of underwear I have brought from their is ridiculous!

This bra is a perfect example of this. The black padded bra first retailed for a staggering £18, which is a pretty standard price for an Ann Summers bra. However, after a few months the bra has been reduced to an amazing £5! Saving you a huge £13.

If you don't mind having a nice surprise or just love a good bargain than the assorted bra is perfect for you. For a measly £3, you can own an Ann Summers bra which could save you a great amount of money! They also do the same for underwear, which can range from £2  to £2.50.

Product Review - The Body Shop Face Mask

Hello beautiful!

Before using this product, I can say that I was simply a virgin when it comes to using The Body Shop products. For my price range, I have always found it really pricy and never really wanted to try the products. However, I do admire The Body Shop for its vegan-friendly products and super gorgeous scents.

I was very lucky enough to be sent two if the new packet face masks that The Body Shop has to offer and couldn't wait to give my skin a pampering!

The other day I tested out the Tea Tree face mask (£1.50) as I know that tea tree oil has a lot of good-skin ingredients to give you that healthy, feel good skin.

The packet was very generous in its amount and gave me more that enough to cover my entire face.

According to the instructions, you are advise to leave the mask on for 10 - 15 minutes, which is a much longer time frame that I'm used to. The mask went on very well and did not sting my very sensitive skin.

The results: I am actually pretty happy with the outcome! My skin feels salty, smooth to the touch and visibly clearer! With no spots to be found!

Furthermore, I would totally recommend this mask and is available to purchase in any Body Shoo store.

Have you ever tried any of The Body Shop products?

Tanning Review: He-Shi Tanning Gel

Hello Beauties!

My tanning addiction has grown, and although I love the sunbed - sometimes I just want to get that little bit darker without the thought of having to stand in a really hot sunbed.

He-Shi is a premium self-tanning company that has won numerous amounts of rewards for their amazing quality tanning products. These products (which can be used on both men and women) can be used in professional tanning salons or at home - which again highlights the high standards of the brand!

I was very lucky enough to receive the He-Shi Face + Body Tanning Gel and desperately wanted to try it as soon as I got it! The tanning kit even came with a tanning mitt! which was extremely helpful.

The Kit

The Tanning Gel

The gel is in a lovely brown tube, which is the same with all the other products and fits in well with the colour we want to go (well, sunkissed!). The tanning comes with instructions so you know exactly what to do and they are very simple - so if you're a beginner, you'll know exactly what to do. 

What was also helpful is the fact that the gel is tinted, so you will know exactly where you have applied and where you need to add more. The tan is very fast acting! although you do have to give it 6-8 hours before you have contact with water to get the full effects. Now, the picture below is the after photo of the He-Shi tanning gel. What do you think?

After using the gel

I am actually in love with the stuff! The product is long lasting, and I keep getting compliments on how tanned I look - which is a big surprise as I usually get called a milk bottle.

Do you love to tan or are you more of a pale gal?
