Bikini Crisis!

I've been trying to find a long line and high waisted bikini for ages, for my holiday in July, after searching everywhere on the high street I turned to ASOS. They have so many products they were bound to have at least one that I liked. 

I was right, I found this one from their mix and match range, both £16 each.

They looked amazing on the website, and sure enough when I got them through they looked just as the ones in the photographs. I tried it all on and the bottoms fitted really well, however the top did not. 

First off the top was available in bra sizes, however there was only a size that was too big, but I bought it anyway in hope it wouldn't be...well it was. It looked really nice, the shape was perfect, but it is just miles to big around the back.

I then decided to see if they had any other tops that go with the bottoms, then I came across a top that was more of a standard bikini shape, they had my size and I decided to order three sizes just to make sure the top fitted properly.

I got them in the post today, and somehow none of them fit me properly?! I am screwed, they do not have any more stock in any of the tops on their website, so I'm not sure whether to adjust the first top I bought, or to return all of it including the bottoms.

If anyone knows of any high waisted bikini's that won't break the bank I would be very grateful!

Berber Oil™ Hair Treatment by Osmo

http://www.osmo.uk.com/

This is the second product I got in my Glossy Box this month, and wow-ee it is good! 

For starters it smells amazing, and it is so easy to apply to your hair. I put it on when my hair was damp, however you can apply it to dry hair as well, which makes this product so versatile. I then dried it with my hair dryer and hey presto it made my hair so shiny!

It contains Argon Oil that helps with dry and brittle hair to give your hair the goodness it needs, and trust me after dying my hair since the age of 14 it needs a bit of goodness!

It is a great little treatment which you don't need to worry about washing out, it just stays in your hair and makes it super shiny!

It is £19.99 for a bottle of 100ml which isn't bad, considering the small sample size bottle is only 10ml and I've only used a fraction of it. I really do recommend this product, it helps you restore the natural shine and softness to your hair without the hefty price tag at a salon.

The Crop Top

Much to my surprise I have started to like crop tops, which a few months ago I hated with a passion. However after thinking about it, if you put the crop tops with something high-waisted they can actually look really good. So after looking on Topshop.com and filling up my basket with an array of items; which I shall get on to, in good time, I stumbled upon their basic crop tee. The colours were to die for, with a soft mottled effect, I had to at least try them out. So I bought two, a light yellowy green and blue, hoping they would fit me. 

They arrived and I the yellowy/green top was darker than I thought, as the image on the website makes it look near enough light grey. But I love it anyway, I have nothing else that colour in my wardrobe so I was really excited to inject a bit of colour. 

I'm wearing the yellow on today with my River Island maxi skirt, which works amazingly with the mottle effect on the top. 

I'm also wearing my favourite necklace from Topshop, I love the gold against the yellow I think it compliments it well. I will probably wear this outfit with my black vans to complete a sports luxe look.

Happy Birthday Glossy Box

It's Glossy Box's 1st birthday this month and to celebrate they have sent out these special box's complete with balloon and birthday wrapping paper.

The box is full of beautiful products; as usual. However I got a free compact mirror, which is so helpful as I never have one in my bag, but not I do! Perfect. 

As well as this I got a few products, including two sample sized versions of Apivita's express beauty with honey - moisturizing and nourishing mask with honey. Which you can see here

As soon as I saw them there I wanted to try it out. I opened the packet and it smelt gorgeous, which is always good when you are going to be leaving it on your face for 10 minutes! 

During this time my face became warm so I could tell something was working, which was a bit odd but it wasn't uncomfortable. 

This face mask claims to 'penetrate deep into the layers of the skin to nourish and moisturize' and it really does feel like it as nourished my skin, it is now so soft and it hasn't left my skin tight or shiny! 

Reviews on the other items will be coming soon! 

Enjoy this amazingly sunny day!
