Product use up

This last months Product Use Up challenge has been focused on using up products which have been open for ages. As I was moving house I didn't want to move half used products from one house to another I knuckled down and did really well. Here's what I finished:




Like last month I'm not going to list everything as there's alot but in total I finished 28 products.

Next month is going to be a slow month as I've started alot of new products but all in all my toiletries stash is going down which is the whole point of this challenge!

So how have you done this month?

What Are You Wearing?

You may have seen my post a few days ago about how I was asked to do a post for Voucher Codes UK on their What Are You Wearing blog and for some reason it wasn't uploaded right and photo's were missing, well.......this has since been rectified and as means of apology I got an ASOS voucher (this makes Karla a very happy blogger!) So thank you to Voucher Codes UK for sorting out the post and for the voucher!

The week that was...

It's been a while since I wrote one of these posts so thought I'd post one today!

I've just about managed to unpack all my stuff and get things sorted. I also have sorted out cancelling/sorting out final bills for utilities and stuff so I think I can relax about everything now!

I also left my second job last week so I now have every weekend free :-)

I'm still finding time to blog very hard so there will be a lack of posts over the next week or so, sorry about this.

And finally hope you all have an amazing Bank Holiday weekend!

Oh and check out Hannah's blog, she's new to the whole blogging thing so show her some love!

Review - Montagne Jeunesse face mask

I won this face mask in Glamour magazines monthly giveaway in May and as I had never seen this one in the shops I couldn't wait to try it out.


The face mask I got is an anti-blemish variety which is good as I seem to have a slightly spotty face at the moment (stress induced I think). This contains rosemary, witch hazel and other ingredients and it smells amazing! It is a thick consistency and there was loads of it, you could possibly get two applications out of this sachet.

You simply smooth the 'mud' onto your face, let it dry and then wash off. Afterwards my skin was left soft and smoothed. I'm not sure if my skin had cleared up but most importantly it hasn't brought out more spots which in my view is always good!

NOTD - Bourjois Bleu Model


This is part of the new neon collection from Bourjois and when I saw them I couldn't wait to get my hands on some of the colours. Bleu Model is a turquoise shade which is perfect for the summer months.

It took two coats to achieve this opaque look but I think another coat would be needed for the perfect block colour effect.

What makes you feel sexy?

Superdrug recently commissioned a survey to find out what makes a woman feel sexy. They surveyed 2,000 women and here are the top 20 results:
  1. Applying their favourite perfume
  2. Wearing a big happy smile
  3. Paint nails
  4. Getting their hair coloured or highlighted
  5. Spend hours straightening their hair
  6. Cleavage on show
  7. Indulge in a long hot bath
  8. Legs on show
  9. Wearing a push-up bra
  10. Pedicure feet
  11. Apply heavy eye make-up
  12. Exercise religiously
  13. Spend hours curling hair
  14. Wear red lipstick
  15. Wear a tight fitting top
  16. Waxing from head to toe
  17. Applying fake tan
  18. Wearing false eyelashes
  19. Wearing a short skirt
  20. Adorn tons of jewellry
The survey also found that 71% of women were left feeling glowing after being given a compliment by a stranger and only 7% said they felt sexy everyday of their lives. On average women said they spent 35 minutes getting ready for a date compared to just 10 minutes getting ready for work.

Do you agree with this survey? What makes you feel sexy?
