Tea REVIEW!

Stash tea's are one of my favorite ones right now. You can find them almost everywhere and the boxes range from 4-6$ I believe. This Earl gray bergamot tea is what I use to make my London fog teas, most morning! It has a very distinguished citrus taste, and the spices feel refreshing in a comforting way! I do like to drink this without any mix in, I prefer making it into a London fog with frothy milk and a touch of sugar!

Mascara REVIEW!

Lashblast, Olympic edition.
I'm a little embarrassed to say I have never owned any of the lashblast mascaras before. Although I tried it and liked it I was always put off by the large brush. But when I saw they came out with the Olympic one I had to purchase it. I really like it, it is eater proof, although it doesn't lengthen my lashes it gives them so much volume. I like that when I do wash my face it doesn't stick under my eyes it wipes away easily! Without running and smearing everywhere. It retails for around 7$ and right now is the perfect time to purchase it in any drug store or grocery stores!
Let me know if you try it!

NIP+FAB REVIEW!

Today I'll be reviewing my new daily facial moisturizer. I heard that this UK brand was now in Canada therefore as you all know I went hunting for it, took me long enough but I have found it! I needed to replace my Lancome moisturizer which I have just finished and I was actually really excited to try this one out!
INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The smell scared me because it has a very perfume/citrus smell and since my skin Is so sensitive I wasn't sure how it would react. Happy to say it hasn't broke me out yet! The amount of moisture it gives isn't excellent therefore I wouldn't recommend this for you who have very dry skin. That being said I still would recommend it to combination skin normal skin and oily skin types. Because it is such a light moisturizer! Honestly perfect for summer, not so perfect for dry skin.
I love the packaging it's very cute and simple. I must mention that the smell disappears within seconds of applying the moisturizer!
Let me know which NIP+FAB products are your favorites, or which you would like to try out!

FASHION TREND!

Current trend I'm sure you all have witnessed is the rose gold trend!! Although I used to like rose gold a lot it seems to have stopped being one of my favorite looks, companies come out with cheap looking rose gold which to me ruins the whole trend. One of the last items I still like in rose gold, are watches. The particular one in the picture is sold in ASOS and retails for about 38$ which is really great and it seems to be such a good looking watch. I like the simplicity of its face. And the price is great compared to 300$ for a MK one. Which to me, well, I don't like rose gold THAT much.
Tell me which is your favorite shade of gold, white, yellow, pink?

NIKE REVIEW!

I purchased two pairs of these compression/spandex shorts from sports check a bit ago. Thought I would review them. The quality seems really amazing on both pair I go the purples ones you can see on the picture down below and I got the black graphic print ones they have. The great thing is that they are on sale right now!!
I wear these to run and go to the gym. And all the training that I do! I like the purple ones a lot because you don't see if you sweat, which can sometimes happen with colored bottoms. The material feels great and is very soft. They fit true to size, and are very comfortable. They come in all sorts of colors which is a plus, ALWAYS!!
I really think that these are affordable and worth purchasing they are even great for layering under looser fitting clothes.

Tweet me if you decide to pick these up, you wont regret it!!

SHOE REVIEW!

Hey guys long time no blog, I've been super busy lately but I figured I would review one of my most recent purchases! I got these shoes a bit ago for training, mainly running. They are the Under Armour Women Go Running Shoes. They come in two colors I got the white gray and turquoise ones.
LOOKS: I really like the way these shoes look on my feet they aren't bulky.
COMFORT: they are extremely comfortable they are the new kind of shoe where the padding and support is minimized to feel as natural for your body, therefore being better for you.
PROS: I really enjoy the shoes so far they are super comfortable and they don't rub wrong anywhere. I like the amount of grip on the shoes, they are great for indoors and outdoors I find.
CONS: I don't think these shoes come in a smaller size then a 6. I wear a size 5 usually.

Overall I find that this is a great shoe I will keep you guys updated on the wear of the shoe over time and if it wears in good! If you are a runner I recommend this shoe to you. Although I know some people don't like this type of shoe because they require more padding and support. I like it for the type of training that I do.
Let me know if you try these out!
