BEAUTY: GETTING HOLIDAY READY


LESS THAN A WEEK TILL IBIZA!  I'm off to Ibiza on monday so I've started getting in the holiday mood. I've started my packing and got my nails and hair booked in for later this week.
I thought i'd share a few products I will be using to get holiday ready this week before we depart for sunny Ibiza.

For the last few months i've been back on my healthy(ish) eating and trying to get down to the gym as much as possible. I've been quite ill this month so I haven't been working out as much as I wanted to but I really didn't want to make myself worse. I've been following my Charlotte's 3 Minute Belly Blitz dvd* which is great as you can do it at home when you have some time, the dvd is split up into 12 3 minute workouts so you can do a couple if you don't have much time and want to fit a quick workout into your day. See my full review on Charlottes 3 Minute Belly Blitz here 

I've got my hair booked in on friday, I should be having my roots touched up, I want them a little bit darker and then I want my hair to get much lighter into the ends. I have picked up a couple of these Loreal Feria Dip Dyes and might add some pink or purple into the ends just to make my hair abit fun. I really love having colour in my hair but i'm not aloud for work so I always tend to add some colour when i'm not working. I actually picked these up in the poundshop.

This Veet EasyWax Electrial Roll On Kit* is such an easy way to get long lasting results. Following the step by step guide is so simple, there's just 6 steps to get salon- wax results at home. The Veet wax system gives you long lasting results for up to 28 days meaning I shouldn't need to shave whilst i'm away. The kit is suitable for the bikini area aswell making it ideal for my holiday preparations. This EasyWax roll on kit is part of the Natural inspirations collection and is full of natural ingredients such as Shea Butter and Pine Tree resin, great to soothe and leave the skin feeling moisturised and soft. I will be using this properly later in the week and will do a full review on it when i'm back from Ibiza.

I have also included fake tan in my getting holiday ready.  I sometimes like to apply fake tan just for my first day so that I don't feel super pale. We get to Ibiza really early in the morning so the fake tan will just make me feel a little more confident in my bikini before I start to build up that tan. This Vita Liberata NKD skin matte wash off instant tan* is ideal for that first day glow and then you can just wash it off once you have started to get a natural colour.

I've been doing a Teatox by Slimming Solutions* for the last week, I should finish the course just before we go on holiday. I have really enjoyed the Teatox and will be reviewing it in full on my blog. As I said above I have been eating more healthy and excerising more so I have lost a few pounds over the last few weeks. I've noticed my skins felt clearer and my tummy is less bloated. The tea tastes lovely aswell, I really enjoyed having it every morning and every other night. I have another 14 day course which I will start again once i'm back to flush out all of the alcohol and naughty food i'll be eating in Ibiza.

Finally I have booked to get my hair and nails done. I love having my acrylics done before I go on holiday. Having nails makes me feel so nice and feminine. I can't really have nails at work because they just don't last, it such a waste so I love getting them done before I go on holiday. I've been using this Soap and Glory Heel Genius Foot Cream most nights to get my feet looking nice and soft ready for those sandals and flip flops. I'll buy a nice nail polish that will match my nails and paint my tootsies before we go too!


So thats it we are all ready and prepped for ibiza! Is there any must have products you get before you holiday or what rituals do you do before a trip away?

OFFICE HAWAII LEATHER FLAT BUCKLE SANDALS


OFFICE HAWAII LEATHER FLAT BUCKLE SANDALS IN TAN- £28*





    I was kindly sent these sandals to review on my blog. They are lovely tan, leather sandals. I'm a massive fan of sandals on holiday and throughout the summer. I've been wearing these since I got them, they are so comfy and just a lovely pair of tan sandals. I've had loads of compliments about them.

I've been wearing these with jeans, dresses and leggings. I think they are so versatile I will be bringing them on my upcoming holiday. I wore them to work the other day and managed a hole 6 hour shift without them hurting or rubbing at all.

They are such a lovely pair of sandals for the summer, they are very comfy and such a good value for money at only £28 for this pair of leather sandals.


REVIEW: Tan Slip On Moccasins from Barratts

Tan Slip On Moccasins - Barratts £18.75*






I was kindly sent these gorgeous moccasins from Barratts. I have to say I was so excited when I opened the box up because they were so much nicer in real life! They are a lovely tan colour which just adds a bit of a boho vintage look to your outfit. They look lovely with jeans and skirts/dresses and are so versatile. I think Tan is one of those neutral colours that you can just wear with anything!

The quality of the shoe is great! They feel so sturdy and are put together really well. The material is a strong suede like material. The inside is really comfortable and has a cute little aztec pattern type strip around the edge for aesthetics reasons.

Studs are in fashion at the moment so these shoes are definitely with the fashion. They are really cute and comfortable casual shoes that can be worn from day to day.

I've already worn these shoes and I'm so impressed with the quality and just how cute they are! If you want to buy them they are only £18.75 from the Barratts website and you can buy them here. They are also available in black.

My Matalan £5 Satchel bag


Satchel bag £5 - Matalan (sold out online)

My mom order my sister and I these bags from Matalan, They were £5 each and did a few more pastel colours as well as the black and tan, Matalan also offer free in store collection so we didn't even have to pay for postage. I think these are such cute little satchels and for £5 you really cannot moan. I got the black and my sister got the tan one. I really needed a handy little black bag so this is perfect. And I love that the detailing is gold because normally on black bags it's silver and I really prefer gold. The bag is actually very roomy and has inside pockets. 
I would recommend checking your local store and see if they have any left because this is a bargain not to miss! They also have some really lovely bags and theres a bag similar to the Zara ones (link here


Have you been to Matalan recently and more bargains to be had?
