Injecting Colour Into Your Wardrobe

Hello Gorgeous!

It may autumn but that won't stop us from being bold when it comes to style!

I want women to stand out for being strong, confident and proud and to not be afraid to show their personalities through fashion!

I recently collaborated with Intu Lakeside for there latest AW campaign to showcase some of the hottest trends this season. Purple is set to be everywhere this season and It is the perfect colour to take you right into winter. This shade is also great as it generally suits all skin tones.  

When it comes to finding something to wear, I am a nightmare.

I may have a wardrobe full of clothes however I always have 'NOTHING' to wear.....does this sound familiar to you?

 I tend to choose what I wear depending on my mood for the day. Usually, after a good ten minutes of hauling out my entire wardrobe into a heap on the bed, I tend to end up grabbing the same items every time, wearing the same old black tee and leggings or jeans. I feel comfortable.

Ladies and gentlemen its time to stop hiding our bodies and start showing them off to the world! I don't mean get your boobies out,  but its time to embrace our shapes and be bold when it comes to colour!

'Lifes too short to wear boring clothes'

So where do we start? Start with the basics.

If wearing colour head to toe gives you the feeling of a heart attack, then don't panic....The easiest way to inject colour into your wardrobe is start with a couple of statement pieces and then build up items into your collection. Think statement coats, accessories, bags and shoes! 

Just like this statement lilac clutch bag. This can easily be styled with a jumpsuit, co-ord or even with a pair of jeans and a white shirt. Colour doesn't have to be scary! It's all about finding the right pieces to suit your style.

Remember: You wear the clothes, the clothes don't wear you.

In addition, a bold print is a perfect way to incorporate colour into your wardrobe.

I think as women, we tend to shy away from print as we think it may make us appear larger or we feel that its 'too in your face'. However finding the right print for your shape can actually make you look slimmer!

When it comes to choosing a look, there are many wacky and wonderful prints to choose from. Florals to animal print, polka dots to stripes, prints are fab way to jazz up your wardrobe collection this season.

Fancy trying it out for yourself? I would love to see your colourful pieces! Share your wardrobe staples with me via email at browneyedgirlblog@yahoo.co.uk or you can find me on social media!

Review: Pure Chimp Matcha Tea And DIY Face Mask

Hello Everyone!

In today's post, I will be giving my review on a Matcha green tea which was sent for me to review from the lovely team at Pure Chimp. Before receiving this product, I was a total matcha virgin and had no idea what to expect. Over the years, I have used green tea's -  my favourite being peppermint, but I wanted to know why we should be using matcha in particular and what benefits does it really have.

After testing out this product and also after some research, I cant believe I haven't tried this sooner!  Green Tea has been around for ages, however matcha tea is becoming increasingly popular and now I know why!

Benefits of Matcha

Boosts Metabolism

Lowers Cholestrol and blood sugar

Naturally detoxifies body
Increases energy levels- YAY!

Full of antioxidants

Matcha green tea has been said to have 137 times more antioxidants than a regular green tea.

This super tea by Pure Chimp also is 100% natural and is also vegan friendly!

On first impressions, I enjoyed using a powder tea as I was control in how much product I could use and I also like that I can use this product for other things. In addition, it is also very easy to make, just add a teaspoon of powder, add water and a dash of honey and you are good to go! It can be enjoyed hot or cold but personally I prefer it hot! I always add honey into my cup of matcha- I try not to use it all the time, but without it I find it tastes a little bitter. 

Since using this tea, I have noticed an increase in my energy levels during the day and It has also opened my eyes to using more natural ingredients in everyday life.  

Matcha powder can also be used in smoothies, baking and foods. You can find some exciting recipes with matcha in the link below!

 Click Link Here

As you may know, I am all about multi purpose products and Matcha is now being released as a main ingredient in skincare. Why not try matcha tea in its purest form as a face mask which you can try out at home! 

Why is this mask good for my skin?

A matcha green tea mask is great for the skin as it helps combat rosacea and reduces inflammation and also brightens the skin. In addition, matcha also helps to protect us from free radical damage and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Matcha Tea Face Mask

1 teaspoon of matcha powder

a drop of water
Coconut oil or honey

Mix together and apply onto face.

Leave for 15-20 minutes and rinse off.

Caution: After removing this product, it did leave a green stain on my face!

If this happens to you, Don't panic! after a couple of rinses it will fade.  I would recommend that you apply this at night. If after rinsing you still are rocking a green face then apply a homemade sugar scrub to remove. 

Where can I find this and how much is this product?

Matcha Green tea powder: £11.95

Is it ever okay to joke about someones height?

Hello Everyone!

Today's post is a wee bit different! Its debate time!

I am a petite woman. I am 5ft 2 and proud, But something happened recently that made me think...'Is it okay to make a joke about a persons height? are we just being too sensitive? . Now is your chance to speak up. I'd love to know your thoughts!

Last week I went to a music gig to support a friend who was singing in a theatre. Before the gig started, My friends and I grabbed a drink and we were casually waiting and chatting away. In the midst of  discussion, a theatre worker approached us and she started engaging in our conversation....a couple of minutes went by and I was then greeted by the lady to which she giggled and said
'Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you down there'.

Now at the time I wasn't really thinking - to be honest it may have been the glass of red wine that had gone to my head, but afterwards it made me re-evaluate the situation. Was that acceptable? Is it okay to comment on a persons stature straight from the bat?

As a kid, My mum always said 'don't worry hen, all good things come in small packages'. Which has stuck with me to this day and I still find comfort in it. And yes that's all fair and well when it comes to gold or diamonds but as women, we are constantly judged for the way we look. Our hair, our makeup, body type, skin type, skin colour, dress size, the list goes on. In a social situation, I would never have thought of someone ever making a comment on my height! Maybe my dodgy contour or telling me if my lipstick is smeared all over my face but height?. As if we need anything else to worry about!
  

Growing up, I've always been 'Wee Paige' and was always told 'aww your so sweet, your so cute'. Now that's great when your 13 years old wearing blue eyeshadow thinking your the bees knees wearing your mums lipstick, but when does it become all a bit much?

I am almost 23, I'm still young and some may say, 'Its a compliment, you should take it!' which yes, most of the time I do and I don't mind if it comes from my friends and family, but strangers? 

should it really affect the way we feel? Are we being patronised or are we being a bit uptight? Let me know in the comments below!

Lots of Love

New Seventeen Mega Matte Lipsticks & Cream Bronzer

Hello Lovely!

As a self obsessed makeup geek. I love nothing more than finding little hidden gems in the drugstore. By drugstore, I mean Boots, Superdrug etc. (UK). I am pretty new to Seventeen cosmetics and I was uber excited to try out some of their products. In today's post I will be giving my low down on two of the new 'Mega Matte' lipsticks and also the 'Instant Glow Cream Bronzer'.

I must confess I was a teeny bit apprehensive when it came to using cream based products. My past experiences with cream products haven't been the best so to speak.... A Patchy makeup job springs to mind. However, I am coming round it and I am now using cream products more frequently as I do like how fresh and hydrated the skin looks when applied.

My top tip: Apply cream based products after foundation and THEN apply powder based products. If you apply powder first then add cream bronzers and blushes then yes Patchy McGee you will be...from my experience anyways.

This Cream Bronzer is really lovely! 

 Its super easy to blend and its a perfect product for contouring and for an all over sun kissed look.  Its also great to use on the go! No brushes needed, Apply this product with your fingers and blend onto the cheeks for a golden glow and before you know it your done!
No streaks, no dodgy muddy patches, No more stress!!

Matte lipsticks are everywhere right now and I was so excited when I received the new mega matte lipsticks from the lovely ladies from Boots at Seventeen . I am a fan of matte lipsticks however as I suffer from dry lips, this type of finish usually doesn't work out well for me. Usually, if I apply a matte lip then half way through the day I always want to take it off.

However these lipsticks are very creamy in texture and apply very easily. They dry quickly but they didn't feel like they were drying out my lips and I could comfortably wear it all day long. 

'Pinking out loud' is a cool toned light pink shade and I am loving the Ed Sheeran reference!
 But unfortunately this shade is too light for my skin tone and It just doesn't suit me at all. I do have slightly fair skin however I felt this this shade wore me out. I would also say that when I applied this onto the lips, it did exaggerate any dry patches that I did already have and it did put me off a little. 

But all is not lost, because I have fallen hard for this lipstick! 

'No Corals' is a gorgeous pinky red shade.....It's coral paige! . It is highly pigmented and I never feel the need to re apply! To add, I think this would be the perfect shade to take you straight through to winter and I can see myself carrying this in my handbag over the next few months. Its a cracker! 

Where can I buy this and How much are these products? 

 Seventeen products are available to buy from Boots

Cream Bronzer : £4.99

Mega Matte Lipsticks : £4.49

Lots of Love

Review: 'Skin Food' By Weleda

Hello Everyone!

As we head into autumn and the cold weather kicks in, we often notice many changes in our skin. Personally, during autumn and winter, my skin becomes dry, flaky and a bit dull. However, I may have just discovered the perfect product to get you through until spring.

Let me introduce you to 'Skin Food'. A multi purpose moisturiser from the brand Weleda.
Weleda have been around for over 90 years and to this day they are still going strong!. Skin Food is a product which has been said to be a firm favourite of many makeup artists and celebrities all over the globe. From the likes of Alexa Chung and Adele to Julia Roberts and Victoria Beckham, A tube of Skin Food is said to be sold every 30 seconds.

Skin Food is a multi purpose moisturiser for those who suffer from dry or rough skin. It is a rich moisturising balm full of plant oils and organic plant extracts such as Chamomile, Wild Pansy and Rosemary Leaf to help revitalise and hydrate. It is also enriched with organic almond oil and organic beeswax to soothe and nourish the skin.

I am a big fan of multi purpose products and Skin Food can be used for the face and all over the body. I mainly use this product for my elbows, hands and feet! Training as a professional dancer almost all of my life, My feet aren't the prettiest to say the least but since using this product I have started to feel such a difference in my skin.I have noticed a change in the the way my skin feels and they definitely look more appealing ha!. 

 Skin food can be applied several times throughout the day or whenever you are in need of a bit of hydration. In Addition, I also like to to use this as a overnight treatment. In the evening, I apply a generous amount of Skin Food to my face, hands and feet and then cover with moisturising gloves and socks and wear them to bed to withhold the moisture. 

What I also like about this product is that its totally unisex. My boyfriend has been using this and he loves it as much as I do! I have been trying to convince Brad to incorporate some sort of skin care regime into his daily routine for years to which he normally replies with "I don't want all the hassle." However this product is fuss free and easy and if I can convince him to use it then
'Weleda you deserve a pat on a back!'. 

As a whole, I really enjoy using this product and I think its a great moisturiser for everyone to keep on hand for an emergency hydration boost....and it wont break the bank either!

Result!

How much is 'Skin Food' and where can I buy this?

10 ml - £2.25

30ml - £6.95

75ml- £9.95
