CandySpa review

So i've moved into my new house which pretty exciting, im loving the new area! So many good shops, great places for walking too! like pretty little woods, and trails! The house kinda stinks as its soo dirty, ( the rental company said that the landord was getting proffesional cleaners in!!)), things keep falling off haha, and its way smaller than my mom remembered!! They soo used a fish eye lense for taking the pictures!!

But thats not what this post will be about, its about a bath/body store/website i found a couple of weeks i ago and im adoring their products! They are very similar to LUSH but they dont have that eurgh too strong smell, which makes me very happy lol , i cant stand the smell of the LUSH shops.

The Store is CandySpa, it sells bath fizzlers, bath gels, bath soaks, melts, everthing!! After finding a virus on their website they sent me a voucher and this is what i bought!

Paradise Lost Soaktini
The paradise lost soaktini, it smells so yummy, like fragrant coconuts, its a bath bomb, so it fizzes crazily in the bath, sending out this amazing smell! A unique thing about these bath bombs is, they have a Shea butter frosting, which is under all that sprinkles you see at the top ^^ which melts in the bath leaving your skin all soft and moisturised!


Ice cream melts
These smell incredibly fruity, and perfumey ( is that a word haha), i only needed to use 2 to 3 for one the bath!! A kind of fun thing is that they make the bath water pretty colours haha

Chiffon bath melt
I havent used this yet as its too pretty to use!! Smells ok, not my kind of scent.


Doughnut soaps
Im not a huge soap fan, and these are pretty good, they dont smell too much of doughnuts, more chocolatey? They lather really well and are like travel sized so they would be great for holidays!!

So thats my haul!/review,

Prices

Doughnut soaps £4
Ice cream bites £2.50
Paradise Lost soaktini £3
Chiffon bath melt £3.50

Old and new favourites


1. Clinique bewitched eyeshadow, i only picked this eyeshadow up while clearing out my makeup for the move! it used to be an old favourite when i wasn't into mac! Its a simple dark matte brown and looks lovely applied lightly or even heavily and smudged for a smokey eye

2. OPI " dont think just pink" Nail polish, while im hankering over their banana bandana shade which isn't in my local sallys just yet, ive fallen in love with this old favourite, its a lilac/pink creme and has lasted the best out of all my opi colours! Painted them on monday night and they have just started to chip today ( this is good for opi with my nails, they chip terribly on me!)

3. GOSH darling 134 lipstick, is an old favourite too, its a nude pink colour which does tend to stick to dry lips so your lips have to be crack free to wear it nicely! Its such a simple colour for summer!

4. L'oreal Elvive Damage care masque, my hair is in a pretty bad way due to dying it recently so it needs a little tlc, and my chi masque just wasnt cutting it! Its pretty good for its first use, will keep you updated

SO so excited for Naked honey collection tomorrow UK'ers!! I will definitely be buying the perfume and buckwheat eyeshadow!

xx KC

I'm moving this friday so fingers crossed will have Internet connection!! will show you my new room and piccies of the move

To keep or not to keep




So a dilemma, to keep or not keep?
Often i trust my own judgement, but on this one im unsure! Ma mere says oui!! Mon pere says non! Ma souer shrugged her shoulders!!

La dress is from topshop, please ignore the stupid faces, i was going to crop the pictures but it looked a little funny!!



Here is today's outfit



Top-Zara
Shorts- boutique find!
Sandals- " "
Plus LV Speedy 30 which didn't make an appearance.

I'm currently craving hot buttered toast, and I cant help but be a little cranky due to cutting out starches (potatoes,rice,pasta,bread etc) in my diet and but on the plus side i can feel the benefits already! Unfortunately i had to eat them yesterday due to a family party and i woke up with such a lack of energy, sluggish! I've lost 2lbs so far in a few days!!

I cant get enough of iced tea! Sipping outside while soaking up the sun and reading a little " grapes of wroth"

Just think


Just think, what do you think when you hear Marie Claire? Kind of cheesy, another " Instyle", kind of boring!
when i think of fashion spreads i think Vogue, Elle and Nylon.

But ah mes aimes,Suprisingly i stumbled across this shoot for Marie Claire Italy and it really open my eyes.

I want thunderstorms, messy hair, Winged eyeliner, Sequins.



I heart the dreary background, lighting, the winged eyeliner, the air of mystery, who is she?

Well the model is Alina Birladeanu

Monochromatic

I heart the simplicty, the classical look which monochrome creates.

Yes im wearing black lips, white tee and sunglasses and no i didnt go out in public like this. Although i wish i had the confidence to walk out my door, white skinnies, lose cropped black tee,, those rayban cats and black lips
Enchante, so darling no?


Hillary's outfit opitomies the latest trends, latex leggings, suede ankle boots, blazers. Even her roots are rather monochromatic, ironic no?
