May 10, 2016 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 29 Comments

Are you into Body Oils like I am? If yes, then you should read this review.

I was introduced to Bio-Oil by a friend when I was at the University many moons ago. I fell in love with the body oil, and I have used it every day as part of my skin care routine. I mix some of the Bio-Oil with my mosituriser in a jar, and use everyday. Sometimes I apply the Bio-Oil directly to my skin after a shower.

My thoughts…

PROS

  1. It smells amazing.
  2. It is a thick oil, so a little goes a long way.
  3. It improves the appearance of skin pigmentation, scars and stretch marks, once used regularly.
  4. It moisturises the skin beautifully, replenishing the skin natural oils.
  5. It is long-lasting, as you will only need to use a tiny amount each time.
  6. It is readily available online and in stores – Amazon, Boots, eBay, Superdrug and others. Do make sure you shop around as the prices from store to store vary widely. For instance, as at today, you can get a 200 ml bottle at Boots for £19.99, while you can get the same sized bottle on Amazon for £12.99, and £6.50 for a £100ml bottle.
  7. The Bio-Oil leaves my skin smooth, shiny, soft and supple.

CONS

None.

 

The Bio-Oil performs just as promised, and that is why I have been a dedicated customer for years. However, I will be trying other body and hair oils. I have a few that have caught my eye and I shall be exploring them further. If you are in need of a body oil that performs brillantly, try the Bio-Oil, you would love it.

Have you tried the Bio-Oil? What are your thoughts? Which body oil are you currently loving?

 

 

 

5 Ways To Style Your Boots

Lunar Booties

The autumn/winter season is here again, and that means we got our coats, jumpers, scarves, snoods, sweaters and boots out ready to get our layering groove on. This is such a fun season for the fashionistas, as well as for the ‘ordinary people’ like us. I look forward to this season because I find the layering trend very stylish and comfortable. The colours of the season are some of my favourites as well, so I am loving the pieces and accessories in stores at the moment. It did take me a while to get a hang of it, but once I understood how it worked, I now enjoy dressing up during the cold months.

I love my Boots especially, I have been building my collection, and I have quite a few now; the one above, Suri Long Boot is a new addition from Lunar shoes. I love the suede look, and the small heel makes it very practical. You will be seeing more of this beauty in an outfit post, so keep your eyes peeled.

I find Boots very versatile, they make dresses and skirts wearable during the cold months, and they add a touch of glam to jeans or leggings. Here are 5 tips for you to remember when next you want to rock a pair of boots:

  • Wear short skirts or dresses with a stiletto thigh high boots, or flat heel boots with a mini. This looks are more covered, and remember your tights!

 

  • When rocking fuller skirts, make sure the hem of your skirt, falls just over the top of the boots. It looks more pulled together.

 

  • If you do not like to dress up too warm, pair your tall boots with lighter pieces – skirts and dresses. The boots would keep you warm, and you get some wear out of your lighter pieces during the cold season.

 

  • Pair your tall dark boots with the same colour for your jeans or leggings. So if you are wearing a black pair of boots, pair it with a black pair of jeans or leggings. This look makes your legs appear even longer.

 

  • Wear ankle booties with trousers for a more formal look. They slip under the pants quite easily, and appear more formal.

Happy thanksgiving my American friends. Have a great weekend everyone.
