Perlier Lemon Sorbet Crackling Ice Body Water Review

Hello Lovelies!

 

Today I bring you a review of Perlier's Crackling Ice Body Water thanks to Ifabbo. This product is unlike anything I have ever seen, and as soon as I opened the package and checked out the product I had a million questions run through my mind.

 

The first thing I noticed was the design of the container, I know some people don't care what products containers look like, but I do, it helps me decide if I want to try a product in the first place. The container for the crackling icy body water makes the product appear fresh, and fancy, and makes me even more excited to test it out. Before Ifabbo nicely sent me this I had never heard of Perlier and now after seeing this I feel like I would like to try more products from them.

 

At this point you may be wondering what exactly is crackling ice body water? Is it a food? Is it a drink? What is it? I was wondering the exact same thing so after my first glance at the container I read through all the information (well the info that was in English) to attempt to figure out what exactly I was suppose to do with it. Unfortunately I believe the container doesn't give adequate directions, although Perlier was very good at making the product desirable.

 This is the exact words that the English description states:

 

Sparkling and crispy like a fruit sorbet. It moisturizes and refreshes in one step and turns your skin pleasantly smooth and scented. Ideal in the morning for a splash of "freezing" energy or at night to remove tiredness and the heat of the day. Not a food product. For adult use only.

 

After a little research I found out that Perlier is a well known Italian company that creates bath and body products. The company prides itself on using natural products and their on-going commitment to research.

 

Even after doing a little research I wasn't 100% sure how exactly you are suppose to use the product so I decided to just squirt a bit on my arm and see what happens, and now I understand what the crackling description comes from. Here is a video to demonstrate...

 

 

As it crackles it feels very refreshing and cold, and slightly tingly, but I noticed that it doesn't really absorb on it's own so I decided to rub it in. After the crackling stopped and it was rubbed in it left my skin feeling cool, soft, and lemon scented. Although I am not a fan of the scent of lemon, this scent is quite refreshing.

 

Overall this product was quite exciting, and is definitely refreshing. If you would like to try some out on your own you can find it here on HSN.

EVENT: Keep Calm & Go Shopping Presented by Once Upon a Time

Hummingbird Glasgow

On Thursday I attended the Keep Calm & Go Shopping event set up by Once Upon a Time Vintage at the Hummingbird in Glasgow, a few different vintage sellers and boutiques gathered to showcase and sell their summer stock.

The shopping event was spread across the different floors and super cool rooms at the Hummingbird. The venue was perfect for this type of event creating a really cool atmosphere for shoppers also there were half price cocktails which were beyond delicious. On arrival Hannah and Charlotte Booth the sister duo behind Once Upon A Time Vintage greeted you with a little goody bag filled with treats.

The stalls included a couple of accessories stalls Ursulas Treasures and Something Different Hairbands on the first floor and on the top floor in the attic space were all the clothing stalls Once Upon a Time with their super cool tie dye selection, Vi Nouveau who had an uber cute selection of vintage purses and clothing, Hardwear a edgy Glasgow clothing brand and Annie & The Mannequins fashion forward collection of vintage florals and quirky accessories.

My favorite stall was hidden away in one of the many super cool booths in the Hummingbird and was called DIY Nails. They had amazing selection of everything nails related, Diy Nails make the coolest nail decals ever and you can even get custom ones like these Ryan Gosling ones above. I will talk loads more about Diy Nails in an exciting beauty post coming soon. But seriously check out www.diynails.co.uk

New Sinful Shine Polishes from Sinful Colors (Swatches and Review)

Hello Lovelies!

Now that my fashion week is over I am working on some fun things to share with you guys, but in the meanwhile I stopped at Walgreens a couple days ago and picked up some new polishes I wanted to share with you. I absolutely love Sinful Colors polish, it is cheap, it doesn't chip easily, and it comes in a lot of amazing shades. As I was browsing I came across a display featuring the new Sinful Shine which has gel tech to make the polishes appear glossy (found exclusively at Walgreens) so I decided to pick three of my favorite colors and test them out. I expected them to be amazing and of course they were. I painted my nails on Saturday with the pink shade called All the Rage and it's now Monday and they still look fabulous, no chips and they are nice and shiny. This polish is actually so shiny that when paired with my long nails they actually look kind of unreal, and they definitely look professionally done. The Sinful Shine polishes are a little more expensive then the regular ones but they are definitely worth it. I would love to have one of everything from Sinful Colors.

Fashion Trends Summer 2013: Crop Tops

Hello Lovelies!

Crop tops are something I personally would never wear, but they have been reappearing heavily on the runway and have made it into the list of trends for this summer. I feel crop tops are the type of clothing that you have to be very careful pairing with other pieces because you can easily go from fashionable to appearing scantily clad. I personally am fond of bralets paired with flowy skirts or even a pencil skirt that covers more leg, you have to find that right balance of how much skin you are showing, too much skin and the outfit goes from fashionable to being inappropriate. Below are some pictures of crop tops that I think should just never be worn, most of them it's because of their print, others because of the shape.

Like always I love to show off celebrities rocking the trend, so below are some pictures of celebs wearing either crop tops or bralets. I absolutely love Miley's and Selena's ensembles.

Now onto showing you how I would wear the trend, today I have a couple different style outfits showcasing crop tops. What do you think of the trend? How would you wear it?
