Choies Review

Hi everyone today's review is of the fashion website Choies, they're a company from China and they sell some very quirky and unique fashions, they get new stock everyday so its interesting to see what they bring out. 

 I'm going to be sharing my experience with you, I only ordered two items because I didn't want to buy a lot on my first time.

 

The first thing i got is this cat print skirt

 I've seen a skirt practically the same on Storenvy but this one was much cheaper so i knew i had to get it. It's pleated around the front but not at the back and its a tapestry fabric.

 as you can see the print is just lots of cats, its really well made and cute.

 it has an elasticated waist so fits about a UK 6-10

 it even has a lining too so I'm really impressed with the quality.

 

 its a little shorter than i expected but im not too tall so its fine.

 

 

 

 

The other item i got is this long sleeved lace blouse

It has a collar made entirely from lace which is also on the shoulders and bow shaped buttons.

It's not fitted so I think it doesn't look very good unless you tuck it into a skirt or shorts. It's really well made so I'm very happy with it.

I've never seen how shaped buttons before! 

Overall my experience with Choies was great, they communicated with me very quickly and shipping was free which is good. 

Thank you for reading!

Maybelline Dream Pure BB cream review

 Today's review is of the Maybelline pure BB cream. It comes in two formulations; I got the Pure because it seemed more light and suited for oily skin and there is also a Fresh version for normal/ dry skin. It comes in two shades; light and medium, I picked the light because I have pale skin.

it is dispensed out of a tube which is hygienic. the tube is a beige and light blue and the plastic feels quite cheap and thin.

Bare skin:

With BB cream:

The coverage is light, It covered some minor blemishes fine and evened out my skin tone nicely. The shade suited me well, because it is a BB cream you don't have to worry about the shade because it adapts to your tone although I'm not sure if it would work well on people with darker skin tones as the medium shade is quite light. The finish is quite matte which I like, it doesn't control oil very well but that's fine as long as you put some powder on to set it. It contains salicylic acid which is supposed to help with acne if you have any. 

I applied it using my just my fingers and you only need a pea-sized amount.

 I like using it with my Maybelline baby skin primer(review here) because it stays put all day and glides on nicely but for demonstration purposes the photos are only taken with the BB cream on.

 

I hope you enjoyed this review, thank you for reading!

Maybelline Baby Skin primer review

Today's review is of the new baby skin primer from maybelline. I've tried the baby lips before and I thought the 'pore eraser' sounded promising. 

  The tube has a decent amount of product inside and comes out of the nozzle which is hygienic.

The primer is clear and very silicone-y, the first ingredient is dimethicone which i know irritates some peoples skin so be careful. A tiny amount goes a long way. It has no scent and blends really easily.

Bare skin:

With primer:

I don't think the pictures do much justice for this primer. It definitely smoothed out my pores and made them much less visible, makeup glided on and stayed put all day. I absolutely love this primer, i think it would work on anyones skin. boots have an offer on it at the minute, I think I bought it for £5.99 but its RRP is £7.99 I think. I cant find it on the Boots website though so maybe it hasn't been released there yet.

 

thank you for reading,

How to grow long hair: lee Stafford hair growth treatment review

Today's review is of the Lee Stafford hair growth treatment!

It's a protein based treatment which is supposed to fertilise the hair follicle with proteins, allowing your hair to grow healthier and faster. 

This isn't some kind of miracle though, hair growth will only improve slightly and it just helps it to reach its maximum potential. 

I got this a year ago and used it vigorously for about 5 months but then i stopped using it because it's quite expensive. I asked for it for Christmas again after getting my hair cut I wanted my hair to get longer again. 

 

The formula is a runny cream consistency and the smell is quite nice, I'm not sure how to describe it!

 

You start off by using it every wash (between shampoo and conditioner) until you notice an improvement in the condition of your hair and then use it just once a week. It says to apply it from roots to ends but I just apply it to my roots because the rest of my hair is quite healthy and I don't want to waste it! 

I noticed an improvement straight away and my hair grew much faster than it normally does which really surprised me.

 My hair is pretty long now,I actually recorded the length and in the past year it's grown 5 inches even with a couple of hair cuts which is pretty impressive for my normally slow growing hair. 

 The pot holds a decent amount of product but you have to use quite a lot each time so one pot only lasts me 2 months at the most. If you're going to get it I would wait till they have an offer on to get the most for your money. 

I hope you enjoyed this review and stay tuned for more!
