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!

TIP TUESDAY!
WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS, LIGHTEN YOU HAIR WITH THEM :)
As a lot of people, in the summer, strive for blonder, or simply lighter hair. But salon treatments can become costly and damaging for your hair. I have a simple trick to help you out.
2- Add 1 cup of warm water.
3- Add 1tsp of olive oil to the mix. (unless you have a very oil scalp)
4- Shake Shake Shake.
5- Apply to hair before sun exposure.
The sun will hit the lemon juice on your hair a create 'natural bleach" lighter shades in your hair. This procedure can be a bit drying for some hair types therefore i recommend a good moisture conditioner Afterwards.
If the desired look is to be a bit more highlighted/streaked then a one color, apply the mixture to certain pieces more then others. Although this is a slower process, i do believe it is extremely safe. To really witness the change make sure to take before and after pictures:) If you do share them with me on Twitter/Facebook.

TRAVALO REVIEW!
Has a perfume bottle ever exploded in your purse and such? have you ever had to leave your favorite perfume at the airport. are you simply tired of hauling around your big sized perfumes? Well i sure was until i saw the "oh so raved about" Travalo, I KNOW you all have heard of it.
First time i saw the Travalo was on Youtube, then i started noticing them everywhere i went, from in the stores to people using it in public places. I recently received a Tavalo Excel which is the 65 spray one, for review. I was sent the gold version, which i like, gold is always super classy, and this newest version comes with a protective case, which, personally am not a fan of, because it takes away from the practicality of the product but i do know i still will be using in for when i go on longer trips, not just for when it is in my purse.
The packaging is cylindrical and sturdy. The outer cover is half transparent and half print and inside is the main bottle.
POSITIVES:
* It is airline friendly and lasts up to 65 sprays
* I love that i am able to mix scents that i love, together.
* They have great colors so you can color corespond the perfum to the bottle color, which i think is cute.
* They are affordable, around 17 dollars, where i have seen them.
* One of my favorite things, is that you can see how much perfum you have left in it, due to a little window.
* Travalo Excel is available in 10 beautiful colors to
match different fragrances, outfits and moods.
NEGATIVES:
* Tricky to clean at first, but i find that i use a teeny bit of hand sanitizer and warm water and i fill up a old empty body spray bottle, and i fill it like i would do if it was perfume, and spray it out afterwords.
FINAL VERDICT:
I really enjoy the practicality of this product i think it is a great tool to have. i recommend this product to all you who love to wear scents, but hate the inconvenience of them! Due to the fact that i love the concept I will be purchasing additional Travalo excels to hold my other perfumes in!
Travalo runs a ‘Daily Spray’ every day on their
Facebook page which gives all who ‘like’ the page a chance to win a

TIPS FOR REFILL:
1) Refill on flat surface. It will make the process easier.
2) Refill with the Travalo lid on. Travalo is easier to refill when the lid is on as
otherwise you can press the spray top.

MARLEY'S MELLOW MOOD REVIEW!
Once again, i am reviewing tea for you guys today, as you might know if you follow me on twitter, i have difficulties sleeping. When i saw my friend talking about this drink i thought it sounded pretty good, but i didn't know if it was going to work for me, since i actually cant sleep. So i went out to the store purchase every kind they had there, they were about 3$ each which is really good.
HERE ARE A FEW OF THE INGREDIENTS:





I slept like a baby when i had this, i slept extremely great every night i take one about 20 minutes before i want to sleep, and i stay asleep all night and wake up feeling super relaxed. They taste amazing, which is great and they are all NATURAL.KEEP IN MIND They are the kind of drink you only take if you want to sleep, or else you will be super drowsy.
I recommend this product to anyone who enjoys tea and sleeping!
Let me know how it works for you guys!
