April 'Recent Buys'



I don't like spending a lot of money on things that are gonna end up in the bin after, I find that these cotton pads are great and very cheap, I prefer them over the ones from 99p store and from Primark.


Sanctuary Daily Spa Escape Youth Boosting Body Moisture Serum - Boots £8.50
Haven't tried this yet, bought it as it doesn't contain parabens or any petrochemicals.


Naked Skin Up Tone Girl - Amazon £4.59
I bought this as it doesn't contain any parabens or alcohol, which I always avoid in a toner.


Sen Detox Detoxifying Body Cream Scrub - Cheap Smells £4.95
So glad I came across this brand as they use all natural ingredients and it's super affordable can't wait to try this out.


Another firming lotion but I go through them so quickly.


I bought it to keep in my hand bag and again it's paraben free and contains no petrochemicals.


I don't usually wear colour on my lips so this should be interesting.


This was a kinda weird purchase this month, as I don't eat pasta, noodles etc and don't really like it, I think because it only has 4 calories, contains no wheat, no sugar and no gluten, I thought I would try it out... I was thinking I would probably add it into a stir-fry to bulk it up without adding any extra calories.



Naturya Wheatgrass Powder - Amazon £7.99
I was thinking about growing and juicing my own wheatgrass as I have read so many benefits, but too be honest I don't have the time or patience, I think this is the next best thing to the real thing.
It's a fine green powder which can be added to a smoothie or taken as a shot mixed with water or a juice. I prefer taking it in a shot mixed with juice and this stuff is amazing, (not the taste but the benefits) so amazing that I will be posting a full detailed review of it soon.


There are sooo many protein powders on the market, most of them include a lot of artificial sweeteners which I really don't want to be drinking everyday, I bought this as it is just pure whey protein isolate so I know exactly what is going into my body.

Nip + Fab Tummy Fix - Product Review




A couple of months back I was in TKMaxx and came across Nip + Fab Tummy Fix, I was intrigued so took a closer look… what is it I thought to myself… a gel that tones and firms your stomach and hips, once I glanced at the price tag of only £3.99 (RRP: £19.25) I decided to buy it.

The Packaging
The product comes in a 100ml (3.38 fl oz) tube, on the front it says Nip + Fab Tummy Fix Daily 'Ab' Gel.

The back of the packaging reads;
Tummy Fix-This revolutionary formula helps to improve skin tone + texture around the abdominal area. 
+amarashape sculpts + promotes elasticity
+bitter orange smoothes + skin appears firmer
+lecithin softens + hydrates

Direction: Apply on clean skin in circular movements, focusing on tummy + hips. For best results, use twice daily for visibly firmer + flatter looking silhouette.

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Alcohol Denat, Propylene Glycol, Polyimide-1, Pentylene Glycol, Alcohol, Carbomer, Polyacrylamide, Lecithin, Parfum (Fragrance), C13-14 Isoparaffin, Diazolidinyl Urea, Limonene, Laureth-7, Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Fruit Extract, Caffeine, Linalool, Geraniol, Eugenol, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Sodium Hydroxide, Citric Acid.

I started using this product every morning and some nights (not many) but it did seem to make a difference. I would use a small blob of gel and rub it into my tummy and hips, it absorbs into the skin quickly and there is no stickiness and you can get dressed straight away. There was a pleasant sort of artificial scent to it and the skin would be silky soft to the touch.

I carried on using it and within a couple of weeks I noticed my tummy looked some what flatter a toned. This is with eating healthy and doing regular exercise, I probably wouldn't expect it to work if I ate burgers and chips everyday. 

It is on the higher end on the price tag for myself anyway, so I would only buy it if I saw it in TKMaxx again (I hope), or if it was on special offer in Boots.
