Hello lovelies! Taking a quick break from studying to share with you some of my top picks from one of my favourite online stores Ji Ji Kiki, who are also my lovely sponsors this month!
Ji Ji Kiki Top Picks



I think highest up on my wishlist is the beautiful black dress (which has amazing crossed straps at the back). I've been lusting after it for months and months. Also, I think the little fox and squirrel would make perfect additions to my bedroom (*hint* mum *hint*) hehe! I've been dying to own a cameo necklace for the longest time too. This one is so pretty and matches my cameo ring nicely too!

Monday, 20 May 2013

Hey guys, hope you're all having a good start to the week. I've come down with a cold, which isn't great - but I've just got 2 more days of studying and one exam before it's all over and I can sleep for a week if I want to! :P Today I wanted to show you this absolutely lovely necklace I bought from Delilah Dust for just £7!
Isn't it so pretty, and at such a bargain too! It's called the Blue Mystic Quartz Necklace - there are plenty of other gemstones to choose from and you can get it on a silver chain if you'd prefer. I absolutely love the jewellery at Delilah Dust, it's all so quirky, pretty, goo quality and most importantly affordable!

Review: Rio Celebrity Airbrush Tanning

Sunday, 19 May 2013

Happy weekend lovelies! Hope you're all having a good one. I've worked two night shifts and I'm not feeling too well, so I'm taking it easy this weekend and slowly making my way through revision for my last exam. While I'm having a wee break I've got a totally amazing product to share with you all, and it's perfect for this crappy "summer" weather we're having at the moment!

I was kindly sent the Rio Celebrity Airbrush Tanning* machine way back in December and I was really excited to try it out but I didn't really find the right opportunity to use it until last month. I've only ever used fake tan once before and though I really loved the results, I didn't think it would be something I'd want to do regularly - this machine may just have changed my mind about that!
Here's all of the kit included in the box: two bottles of airbrush spray tan solution, instructions, the pump, spray gun and all the cables to put it all together. Assembly is really easy following the step-by-step guide included in the box. It took me a matter of minutes to get the whole lot set up and ready to go.
There are a 3 different settings to create the airbrush tan look that you want. You can also control the flow of tan using the gun, so it's really great for getting just the perfect shade you're looking for. I personally just wanted a very subtle light tan the first time I tried it, so I used it on the Low setting. It's super easy to use, I just stood on a towel in my bathroom and let my boyfriend do it for me. It took roughly 15-20 minutes to do my whole body, including my face, and it dried really quickly too.
I took a sneaky photo after doing one leg. The tan takes up to 4 hours to develop properly into it's full colour, so to see such a lovely difference right after spraying is great. I was also really surprised about how little of the tanning solution I needed to cover my whole body. I think with two bottles I would be able to do quite a few applications before they ran out.
As you can hopefully see from the before and after photos above, it's really made a huge difference and I definitely achieved the subtle, natural looking tan that I was after. I was really worried that I'd end up looking tangoed but I really could not be more pleased with the results. The tan lasted for about a 5 days before it began to fade gradually. I highly recommend this machine for anyone who's after an easy way to achieve a beautiful naturally bronzed look from the comfort of your own home.

Rio Celebrity Airbrush Tanning* can be purchased from riobeauty.co.uk RRP £79.99
Replacement Tanning Lotion can be bought £14.99 for 2

Review: T-Zone Instant Fix Nose Pore Strips

Monday, 13 May 2013

Hey guys! I'm sitting here in my bed, looking rather forlornly out at the beautiful blue sky while I attempt some studying for my exam this week. How is your Monday going, better than mine I hope? Today I've got a review of one of my favourite facial cleansing products, T-Zone Instant Fix Nose Pore Strips. (I'm really killing it with the beauty posts recently huh!)
You get 6 in a pack, which I suppose isn't too bad - though I do find nose strips are always really over priced (I think these were about £5).
I even convinced Bob to try one! You can really smell the manuka honey and tea tree in the formula and it felt great on my skin. As usual, I was really impressed with the results of these strips - I use them to combat nasty blackheads on my chin too as that's the worst area for me. Bob was especially impressed, having never used one before!

Have you used T-Zone strips before? ♥
