Review | Coco White Teeth Whitening

I have been after a good teeth whitening product for a while now but never successfully found one...until now!

I saw the Coco White Teeth Whitening being advertised on Instagram, after reading some amazing reviews I thought id give it a go you can buy it from here. It took me two weeks to be able to purchase it as it is always out of stock and they always go back in stock either at 1pm or 8pm GMT time.

They come in different flavours either Light Lemon, Vanilla Swirl, Minty Fresh (which is the one I bought) or all three.

It costs £19.99 (without delivery) and you get 14 sachets. In each sachets is liquidised Coconut mixed with what ever flavour you have selected. Each night you squirt the oil into your mouth and swish it around for 5-15 minutes...I always did it when I was in the shower as I found the time went a lot quicker! So how it works is, it's a form of oil pulling, so the oil from the coconut basically dissolves any plaque build up and draws it out making your teeth look whiter.


This picture here is before I started the treatment
And this is after 14 days of using it (sorry for the horrific pic)

The picture doesn't show up too well but there is a massive difference in colour in real life and I am so happy with it!

Although I love the end result, I will not be re-purchasing it, instead I'm going to go to Holland and Barrett and buy a jar of coconut oil as it will be a lot cheaper and will do the exact same thing apart from it will taste a bit different!

But if you are looking for a teeth whitening product that actually works and lasts I 100% recommend this!

Haul | Missguided, Boohoo & Make A Statement

As I've been poorly this week I thought I would cheer myself up by doing some online shopping because that's always a cure.

First up, Missguided. Since my last haul I have developed a love for crop tops. I bought the Miliana Baby Pink Crop Top, it's a ribbed material and has a wide neck hole and is perfect for the weather we are having in the UK at the minute and cost £15.

Also from Missguided I bought the Ribbed Roll Neck Bodycon Midi Dress in grey, as it says in the title its a roll neck Bodycon dress, when I buy body cons I always get them a size up so they are not too tight but I love this dress and it looks lovely with a statement necklace and either sandals or a nice pair of heels and it cost me £20.

Now on to Boohoo, I bought the Avah High Rise Disco Jeans, I have a love hate relationship with jeans as I am quite a funny size as I have a small waist and a large bottom so a size 10 is too small around my bum and a 12 is too big around my waist...these however are a perfect fit. They are a size 12 in the colour black and the waist actually has some stretch to it which is always handy. They cost me £25 which I think is very reasonable considering the ones I was looking at from Topshop were £45...

Jewellery time! my cousion has set up her own business called Make a Statement you can visit this site by either searching on facebook or Instagram. I bought this necklace called Fan Fayre and I LOVE it! All of the necklaces on her site are just beautiful and soon I think I'm going to end up buying one of everything. The necklace cost me £14 and is very heavy and sturdy so it's not going to break anytime soon. 

Make sure you head over to Make a Statement and check out the wonderful items.

B. Vitalised Eye Cream Review

I am one of these people that is constantly tired regardless of how much sleep I get. I needed something to apply of a morning to make my eyes look more awake and with it!

I bought the B. Vitalised Eye Cream from Superdrug costing me £5.48 (it's normally £10.99 but superdrug have an offer on at the minute). This product claims to "helps to refresh tired looking eyes by firming and smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles" and I can definitely say it's does just that. 

I've got the skin phase 2, which is meant for people in their late 30's early 40's..I've only just realised that..oh well still does the job.
You apply it each morning and night and as soon as you've applied it you can instantly see a glow.

I don't have a bad word to say about this product and I would happily pay the £10.99 for it and recommend it to anyone who has the same issue! 

Let me know what your favourite eye creams are :)

Haul | Boohoo

As I desperately needed a new pair of boots I thought I would head over to Boohoo to see what they had in store...and ended up buying more than what I was looking for..as you do!

The first item I bought was the Megan Chelsea Boots they cost £20 down from £22, they are super comfy and I find they go with every outfit and most of the time I wear them on a night out if I'm not up to putting my self through the pain of wearing heels.


For a cheap £8 I bought a pair of the Martina High Waisted Disco Stretch Leggins I've been putting off buying a pair of disco leggins because most of the ones I have come across the sizes are just ridiculous and are either too big or too small!
As the name suggests they are stretch leggins so I bought a size 10 (I'm normally a size 12 bottom) and they are super soft and SO comfortable. I love them that much I bought another black pair, a wine coloured pair and a pair for my mum.

I then had to buy a new top to go with my leggins because that's just the rule isn't it?, So I purchased the Alison Stripe Crop Turtle Neck Jumper which again cost me a great £8. I'm not usually a fan of crop tops as I very much dislike my tummy being on show, but due to the high waisted leggins I thought why not and I love it!
The top is a jersey material so it has some stretch to it, the only bad thing I have to say about it is, the neck hole is very small ( I felt a bit like Phoebe from friends when putting it on..hope you get that reference)

I love the boohoo website a) because I get student discount..always an added bonus, b) the quality and range of the clothing is fairly high considering its an inexpensive website and c) they are always doing some form of cheap delivery when I ordered the above I got free next day delivery.

Here is a picture of everything together (I do apologise for the crappy picture quality, I will get better I promise!)
Everything I bought is linked above :)

My everyday makeup

Before I get started on this blog post I have to admit something....although the title says my everyday makeup, I don't actually wear makeup on a daily basis...or weekly if I'm being 100% honest (purely because I'm too lazy and would rather have an extra 30 minutes in bed) but when I do this is what I use :)

To start I use my Stila One Step Correct primer, and as you can see Its nearly empty :(

I then move onto concealer. For this I use the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in the shade fair and I use that all over my face using either using the real techniques beauty blender or their expert face brush, I don't tend to use foundation for daytime makeup as I feel its too heavy on my skin (anyone else who uses this get annoyed with the fact all of the writing comes off onto your hands?)

Next up, bronzer, I use the HOOLA bronzer from Benefit, I put this all over my face using the real techniques powder brush to give my skin a hint of colour.

Blusher time, as stated in my very first blog post I'm in LOVE with the Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush Palette- Sugar and Spice, from the palette I use the shimmery pink with a small dab of the highlight above it, to do this I use the real techniques blusher brush

For my mascara I use the benefit 'They're real' as I feel this gives the best lift and extension for my lashes.

And lastly, lips I just use my Elizabeth Arden 8 hour lip balm just for moisture, I cannot get enough of this lip balm...again it's another one I urgently need to replace!!

Split Back Duster Jacket | Topshop

 I stumbled across this last week whilst shopping in Topshop, I have been wanting a duster jacket for a while but all the ones I came across were too stiff and rigid no matter where I looked whereas this jacket is super soft.

The thing that made me fall in love with it is the split back, it gives the jacket a unique look which you don't often see.
The only thing is, It's not thick material, it's more of a summers night jacket, so for the winter months I'd definitely wear it layers to keep you warm. 

If you're looking for a nice stylish duster jacket then this is for you it's costs £79 which is a bit pricey but you definitely get what you pay for as the quality and material are just amazing.
