How to wear next season’s hottest colour!

As it naturally happens in the fashion industry, every season surprises us with a new colour

trends and offers an opportunity to refresh our wardrobes with dozens of hip and modern

nuances. Seductive red is undoubtedly one of the timeless colours in fashion trends, and this

season we’ll be able to welcome passionate sangria, a glamorous nuance of maroon which

carries the warm vine tones. This fall sangria will replace winey red-brown Marsala, which

Pantone marked as a one of the trendiest colours for 2015.

Anyway, before you embrace season’s hottest colour, let’s see how you can wear it and

combine it with other colours, clothes and accessories:

Sangria and earthy pastels

To bring you closer to the exact nuance of sangria, we’ll present it as a colour which perfectly

matches chocolate nuances, because it also contains traces of warm chocolate and earthy

tones. However, the more interesting and creative combinations are those which pair sangria

with all shades of gray and dark navy blue.

To achieve a contrasted look, dare to combine sangria with gentle powder colours, nude, light

blue or even with olive green. Glamorous sangria the best suit brunettes, but all ladies can

achieve an amazing effect by complementing their outfits with a lipstick in the same colour.

Cool, chic and body-flattering sangria outfits

Fashion gurus are suggesting ladies to spend this autumn focusing on their pretty legs, before

we slip into “from head to toe” winter outfits. That’s why you are encouraged to wear sangria

mini dresses which can, depending from your figure and preference, have either slim or casual

design.

For youthful and trendy look, wear sangria dresses with biker-style jacket and leather boots in

chocolate nuances. To reach a wow effect, complement this outfit with stylish slouch hat which

is still trendy and tremendously chic.

In order to embrace a fabulous mini dress, we must take care of our legs – it’s never too late to

start with exercises for tightening, massages and anti-cellulite treatments, hydration and sun

protection. Regular depilation is necessary and smooth legs require a constant care. Still, you

can consider a ipl laser hair removal as a million dollars worth advice. Now you can stop hiding

one of your greatest attributes!

Ladies who are not fond of dresses, can embrace sangria by wearing delicate sassy garments,

elegant shirts with lace inserts, pencil skirts, casual style slacks, vintage coats etc. When

choosing a unicolour sangria outfit, combine various materials and textures, such as plush,

artificial leather, cotton and silk.

Rich sangria accessories

Thanks to opulence and glamour this nuance reflects, sangria accessories create a powerful

and dazzling effect even when combined with variously coloured outfits. You can choose

anything from soft cashmere scarfs, trendy pouch with zippers, suede sangria belts to elegant

necklaces and lavish sangria glasses frames. Depending from an occasion, sangria accessories

can be paired with casual jeans and top as well as with sophisticated dresses and formal outfits.

Now when you’ve discovered how to wear this radiant autumn colour, dress yourself in sangria

hues, and head for nearby bar and enjoy a pleasant fall day with a glass of finest red wine.

Nourish Skin Care

There are so many skincare product ranges out there and to be honest I do tend to stick to that one brand that I am used to. But me being me, I do love to try out new things and love showing you my readers the options we have out there when it comes to our skincare routine.

I will be honest, I had never heard of Nourish skin care before I wrote this post. I looked through their website and I noticed the difference between the products I buy regularly and their products right away.  The Nourish brand is completely focused on vegan and organic skincare. Their products are free from harmful chemicals, mineral oils and silicones. Instead they use all organic ingredients and natural extracts. Probably like a lot of you out there, I have never paid full attention to what is actually in my skincare products. With nourish I know exactly what is in there and its really good to know that they are all made to be the best for your skin and really give it that glow.

I was asked to test and review their Kale Enzymatic Exfoliating Cleanser – £16.50 50ml  This is a multi tasking treatment, you get 3 treatments in one product. Cleanser, facial and face-mask. I found this really exciting, I don’t get to test one I get to test all three.

1. Cleanser – I decided to use my Magnitone brush (£69.99 – magnitone.co.uk)  to test out the cleanser aspect of the cream. After using my Nivea cleanser with my Magnitone since I got it, I was excited and apprehensive to see the outcome. The cleanser is really good, the smell was a little strange to begin with. The scent made me think of the Vicks inhaler that you use when you get a blocked nose, but after using it a few times the scent becomes somewhat familiar and comforting. My skin was really clean, soft and felt good all day.

2. Revitalising Facial – This is a great feature, perfect when you have had that long day and need to relax. Use the cleanser scrub as a mask by rubbing it all over your face, remember and avoid the area around your eyes. Leave it on for 5 mins and use your toner or water to soften it, massage gently and then rinse with cold water. This one is perfect on the morning, when your eating your breakfast, drinking your tea. I used this before work and it really gives you a cute morning glow and it makes you feel awesome, ready to go!

3. Exfoliating Mask – Use this everyday in your skin care routine for that amazing ready to go skin. Rub onto dry skin for 2 mins and then rinse. Its pretty much the same directions that you get for all exfoliators. The outcome of this cleanser/exfoliator is far better than what I have used. It is so soft and so easy to apply, it leaves your skin smelling so fresh and clean. Like I have went and got a full body scrub at a a fancy spa.

Nourish skincare is such an eyeopener. I honestly wish I had paid more attention to my skin, and what I was using over the years. The results from using this are unbelievable, my skin has never looked or felt so good. The range is slightly dearer than other products in this category, but I have to say it is worth it. With Nourish, the ingredients are fresh, organic and really do leave your skin feeling good. You can easily change or add this into your skincare routine. After using this one product, I would love to try more from them. The end results from this one product is enough for me to change my skincare routine completely.

You can grab their full range at nourishskinrange.com/products 

The best facial ever!

Hey you GUYS

How many of you cleanse and moisturise?

How many of you know that if you add a toner in between, it can make your skin look 10x better?

Me neither. I always head for my daily beauty routine of washing, moisturising and then make up! I never knew my skin would look so amazing by just adding a toner.

There is thousands of toner out there all offering the same outcome, the only difference between them is their fancy bottles and their purse smashing price tags.

So how do we know which one to choose?

Well we don’t. It’s that simple. We have to try things to know what works for us, but I have come across a toner that I think will work for most if not a lot of people out there.

I recently received a bottle of toner from Instanatural, a leading skin care brand with a vision to provide safe, effective and affordable skin care products. They focus on using premium organic and natural ingredients in their formulations without the use of harmful alcohols and chemicals.  I honestly didn’t think it would work, imagine my surprise when I sprayed a small amount onto my hand and not having any reactions but rather a small smooth portion of skin. After that I couldn’t wait to get started and I ended up doing some research on toners.  Here is what I found out:

Toners are used as a prep for moisturising and serums. It rejuvenates and refreshes our skin, balancing out our skin pH as well as removing dead skin cells.

Now lets get down to business 🙂

How to use Instanatural toner – 

First step is to cleanse your skin, you can use a mild face wash or your favourite cleanser. Dry your face by using a dry clean towel, don’t rub your face just gently pat your face dry. Once you are all dry, spray your entire face and neck with Instanatural facial toner. It will feel a little strange spraying liquid all over your face lol But actually it can be quite refreshing once your used to it. The spray dries in naturally but you can use a cotton pad or ball to dry it if necessary.

The spray can be used daily as needed and under makeup. Finish the routine by using your favourite moisturiser. I personally love Nivea soft face cream.

My thoughts –  

After a week of using Instanatural every day, I can honestly say I am so glad I found this product and very sad I never found it before now. My skin feels incredible and walking into family events or social gatherings feels amazing when I have so many people asking if I have been on holiday! My skin is glowing and as cheesy as it sounds my inner self is better for it to, I feel fantastic!

Where can I get this magical stuff? –

Instanatural is available online at instanatural.com for only $17.49, you can also find their range of hair products, eye care and face masks. If you live in the UK you will need to head to Amazon UK to purchase Instanatural, it has super fast delivery and is currently on sale for only £20.95!

The company asked for my honest and unbiased opinion on their product. This post is my honest and unbiased opinion, I truly loved reviewing this product and have now found one of my June favourites already!

Pukka Tea Review No1 – Lemon, Ginger and Manuka Honey

Hey you guys! 

Today I am breaking my tea and milk only rule and trying out some new and exciting teas! I got my cute little Pukka tea box in this morning and couldn’t wait to try them.

I couldn’t make up my mind lol But I finally went for the lemon, ginger and manuka honey.

Good news for soothing your spirit.”

Ingredients 

Elderflower

Fennel

Ginger

Lemon

Lemon Myrtle

Lemon Verbena

Manuka

Turmeric

So my tea was brewed and time for my first taste of Pukka heaven. My first few sips were a little strange, I kept feeling the need to be sick. But for someone who never drinks “healthy tea” I  can only assume that is normal lol After a while though the tea becomes a bit addicting! I kept feeling the need to go back and drink some more! The taste was intense all the ingredients really came through and by the end of my tea I felt completely relaxed and sleepy. It truly is soothing for your spirit!

I would definitely love to try some of their fruity teas, I think I would enjoy them more. I have a few sachets left in my little box and I am planning to spread them around my friends and family and get them to fill in a little questionnaire on how they felt after drinking Pukka.

Maybe create some Pukka lovers!

If you fancy trying some they are available in your local supermarket or you can order them online at Pukka Herbs. Maybe you have already tried and love Pukka tea? Leave some comments on your favourite teas and what teas you would love to try!
