The Body Shop | 2015 releases

Hello readers!

Today I'm coming at you with the new launch releases from The Body Shop which are AMAZING! Trust me, you're in for a surprise. Today I met the lovely skin care expert Alicia at TBS who is great at explaining skin types and differentiating between the conditions of each person's skin. She kindly gave me skin consultant on the new products which she also tested on my skin to get an in-depth overview of how the products work and their significance. 

Personally when it comes to public consultant I'm the type of person that would shy away however the workers at TBS are excellent in making you feel comfortable and engaging with work with a hands on approach.

The products displayed in each of the photographs I can hands of heart say were fantastic with the Camomile cleansing oil being my favourite from them all! I would never think of placing oil on my skin however even now as I type away on my laptop I can still feel the nourishment and cleanliness to my skin... oh how wonderful! :D

The vitamin C glow boosting moisturiser is amazing at giving the face a nice, healthy sheen without looking oily or wet. The thick, vibrant shade of the cream creates a perfectly soft and hydrating effect giving the feeling of plumpness especially to the cheek area.

Overall I enjoyed my visit to The Body Shop at Trafford centre, the experience was truly great, thanks to Alicia! If any of you are interested in purchasing the products presented above or have any inquiries regarding them then leave a comment or equally send me an email so I can fully answer any questions.

DIY Personalised Gem Mug

Hello my lovelies! 

Hope your having a great day during this extremely hot summer month. As you may or may not already know that I will be moving soon later on in the month, so with a new bedroom comes a heck of a lot of DIY accessories to jam up and gives some character to the new space I'll soon be having. 

This time I came up with a 'Personalised DIY Gem Mug'. This is a great and easy way to make any room in the house feel cosy and comfy I believe. So here's how you'll be making the DIY and it really takes less then 5 minutes and nothing fancy is required. 

So you will be starting off with a plain mug which you can find at any crafts shop such a hobbycraft or even the pound shop I think, or you can start with a pre- letter cup just like I have. You want to start by painting the initial of your first name of the very center of the mug on the front side and then similarly repeat the same process on the back of the mug so the initial is visible. 

Then you just want to let that dry and then choose any sort of embelishment, I chose silver gems which I purchased from Amazon but they are also easily available at any craft shop. If your feeling a tad bit more adventurous you can also opt for some cute little pom poms, colourful bows basically anything that would add a bit of glam to the mug. 

Start by sticking the embellishments onto the mug with a strong glue, I actually used paint which I already had and created little dots where I would've like the gem to stay.Work your way around the mug and then leave the embellishments to stick so they are nice and firm once the glue has dried. 

And there it is! Your very own personalised DIY mug, which you can locate on your dressing table or place near a feature wall. This also makes a great gift, you can alter the initial to whoever you are making the gift for and prehaps stash the mug with a variety of chocolates and whatever you wish! The choices are endless. I store my makeup brushes in the mug and it gives a very classy and elegant feel.

Hope you enjoyed reading!
