Regime London Deluxe Collagen Capsules Review

Hello Everyone! 

When it comes to beauty products , it is vital that we not only look after our skin from the outside but also delving into our 'inner beauty'.

 Ladies and gents, let me introduce you to Regime London.

Regime London are a nutricosmteics brand which supply beauty supplements to help us achieve beautiful glowing skin from the inside. I was recently sent a 30 day supply of there deluxe collagen capsules to try out and I will be giving my honest review.

Until now, I never thought of ever taking beauty supplements. vitamins, Yes but it never really crossed my mind to ever take supplements for my skin. At 23, I am aware that I don't necessarily need to actively start seek anti ageing products however I am curious to see whats on the market and to try out products that indicate positive results.

As we get older, the rate of collagen production slows down and the elasticity of the skin decreases. This is where Deluxe Collagen comes into play! This supplement is said to 'enhance skin beauty and help fight visible signs of ageing'.

There are 120 capsules in a tub of Deluxe Collagen and are to be taken daily. To start off, I used the recommended dose;  two tablets in the morning and two in the evening. These tablets are also to be consumed after food and with a full glass of water. After two weeks,  I then upped the dose to around six tablets per day. I would definitely recommend these to be consumed after food as I found that I did start to feel a little nauseous when I had taken them alone.  I would also say that the tablets are very large in size, If you have any trouble swallowing tablets, this may not be the supplement for you. 

So whats inside? 

Each capsule contains Peptan Hydrolysed Collagen and to help stimulate collagen production and also vitamin C to help naturally brighten and plump the skin. The use of peptan in this supplement is from fish, meaning this product is not suitable for vegetarians.

The Results

After taking deluxe collagen for a full month, I have noticed that my skin feels a lot firmer and also smoother.... as you may have read in my past couple of posts, the winter really took its toll on my skin and I was in desperate need of a skin miracle. During the first couple of weeks, I did not recognise any development in the condition of my skin but after regular use, My skin felt no longer dry or flakey and now it does look less lack luster and dehydrated. 

I also like the idea of using a supplement as an add on to my skincare routine and I have found that I am starting to see a big difference when collaborating the collagen tablets, with my usual skincare products.  I would recommend this to anyone who is passionate about taking care of their skin and also for those with more mature skin types. As I have not specifically used this product to combat wrinkles or reduce signs of ageing, I cannot personally confirm that it is successful in doing so, however I would love to know if this has worked for anyone else! 

Where can I find this?

Deluxe Collagen can be found at Regime London and also at Superdrug

Train Yourself Happy and Healthy

Hello Lovely!

As we make our way through January, Many of us want to start the new year by getting back in shape... New year, new me and all that jazz...

 Every year I say to myself I want to get in the best shape that I've ever been in..... so what went wrong haha!. Well to begin with, I tend to start off pretty well....I feel motivated, energetic and raring to go, but to be honest after a few days.... I get bored.

Training as a professional dancer, I was always super fit but when I decided to take a break two years ago, I lost my motivation, my six pack and my get up and go.  I didn't realise however what affect that would have on me mentally. Not only did I feel like Mr Blobby 24/7, but I felt down a lot and as someone who struggles with anxiety, I put my feelings down to being anxious. Never did it cross my mind that I was feeling down because I wasn't working out!

Yes the magazines may tell you its time to get fit to get thinner this month... But Ladies and gents, I am starting a new resolution...

 'Lets Get Happy Fit!'

Over the years, I have tried many diets, the extreme workout videos, the dreaded shakes and eating 500 calories a day just so I could look in the mirror and feel like I fitted in!
 Okay so yes I did loose weight,  but I felt sooo miserable and after a couple of months,  I was back to eating rubbish and felt like all that work was for nothing and it wasn't healthy.

Now I'm on a journey to work out, not to necessary loose weight (although I mean that would be great) but I am working out to feel happier and more healthy. Exercise is such an amazing way to keep ourselves in check as it sends happy chemicals to the brain and releases endorphins which instantly makes us feel more energised.

In just two weeks, I have been exercising almost everyday.... not major amounts, but around a 10 minute workout everyday just to give me a boost that my body craves! To start off with, I wasn't sure how long I would last before I got bored, but I couldn't believe the transformation that I felt. After five days, I had so much more energy and I have noticed that I am less stressed and more importantly I feel a lot happier.  For once I am not focusing on the weight I need to lose,  but focusing on what my body needs. No more crazy fad diets and slimming shakes, just taking the time to exercise to feel good!

One great tip that I would say to you if you fancy jump on the happy train with me is to discover something you enjoy! Find something fun, so it never seems like a chore!

 For me, I love dance workouts as there is nothing better than prancing around the room to your favourite tunes and shaking your toosh and it never feels like I'm under pressure!

I have also recently discovered a passion for yoga. Yoga has helped me to take some time out of my day and focus on my inner strength and learning to let go of everyday stresses. My favourite yoga workout at the minute is the 30 day Revolution with yoga with adriene. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who fancies giving yoga a try!

Now we are ready to workout, Its time for new workout gear! 

When it comes to choosing your sportswear , Its super important that you feel comfortable in everything you wear so we can carry on feeling fabulous!. I recently came across Daisy & Co London and I was kindly sent a couple of their pieces to try out!

My favourite piece being this daisy print sports bra.  This is honestly so comfortable! When it comes to buying a sports bra it is essential that you get a perfect fit.  From past experience, I find that sports bras either look trendy but have no support or on the other hand it is super comfy but looks like something your nan would wear. This sports bra, I can honestly say fits like a glove! I ordered a small and I am a size 8-10 not only does it look fabulous, I am super confident that I am fully supported during my workouts and I won't have any dodgy malfunctions....no one wants that!. This bra also included removable pads which adds to the comfort factor.

 I am also crushing on this print! It's so cute and its great to have a bold piece in your workout wardrobe to help brighten up your day and the cross back detail is just gorgeous.....five stars from me! Happy Paige!

It is also important to have a classic black piece that will go with everything and this black vest is perfect! It isn't too tight, its breathable, quick drying and the top won't ride up! I find this is a problem with other vests that I have tried, as soon as I start working out my tummy is out on show. In addition, I also really like the keyhole back as it adds a bit of interest to any look and with the cross back sports bra, I think it looks super cool!

Pacifica Mineral Shadow Palette Review

Hello Everyone! 

When it comes to makeup everyone seems to have gone a little palette mad! Over the years I have tried and tested many palettes in my collection but it never really crossed my mind to try out natural and mineral shadows until now. 

I was always very sceptical when it came to mineral makeup, I always thought it wouldn't be incredibly long lasting or would give me the pigment that I so craved but I wanted to put my skepticism behind me and was lucky enough to be sent the Pacifica 'Enlighten Eye Shadow Palette' from Naturally Better You. 

The first thing that drew me towards Pacifica as a brand was that all of there cosmetics are 100% natural, vegan friendly and cruelty free. I am so obsessed right now in using organic skincare so when I saw this I naturally gravitated toward their products.

(From left to right)

Skinny Dip: a light matte shade

Coral Sand:  peachy satin lid shade 

Golden:  A true gold shimmer shade

Urchin: A deep purple shade

To kick things off, can we just talk about this super cute packaging!

I love the little engraved quote inside 'you are so pretty'. Im not going to lie it did bring a smile to my face and it is the little details that I think a lot of people will appreciate when it comes to this palette.

`

Whilst swatching these shades I was impressed by the pigment especially with the shade 'Golden', the lightest shade 'Skinny Dip was practically transparent on my skin and I wouldn't say that it was a true matte shade as it did still have a slight shimmer but that didn't really bother me. As a whole, I would say that these shadows are very light and warm in tone and are very natural looking.

When applied onto the eyelids,  the shadows didn't feel drying on the lid as all shadows have been made with coconut water to give the shadows a creamy finish and helped the colours to blend seamlessly on the lid. However I would say that 'Urchin' did start to appear a little muddy after a while and if blended out too much the shadow did start to disappear.

These shades did actually last longer than expected! But I would say that I would highly recommend using an eye primer to help with the longeviety of the shadows as they won't last all day. However if your looking for an everyday natural palette then give this one a go.

 I think this would also be great palette for those starting out with makeup or for someone who enjoys want that natural effortless look as these shades aren't too overpowering and will give a natural sheen to the eye.

So my verdict...
These mineral shadows were surprisingly really nice. They felt very comfortable on my skin and did blend well and I would use the lighter shades for an everyday simple look or to add a bit of highlight to any other look. They aren't incredibly long lasting, but are perfect for an easy, on the go shadow of colour. 

Where can I find this?

This Pacifica Palette is available now at Naturally Better You.

Soley Icelandic Yarrow Cleansing Foam Review

Happy New Year Everyone! 

As we begin a new year, Its a good idea to start looking at whats missing from our skincare wardrobe. So what better way to start with a simple cleanser. Im kicking off the first blogpost of the year with a review of the Soley 'Fersk White Cleansing Foam' which was sent to me by Naturally Better You. 'Naturally Better You' are a website which showcase natural and organic skincare brands including Weleda, Dead Sea Spa Magik and of course 'Soley'. They also make our skincare shopping experience easier by filtering skincare products into specific categories and skincare concerns so that you can find the exact product for your needs. 

For those who haven't heard of Soley, They are a luxury organic skincare brand which handpick their ingredients with wild Icelandic herbs. This brand was founded back in 2007 by Icelandic film and theatre actress 'Soley Eliasdottir' and all of Soley's products are completely cruelty free and are 100% natural. 

The first thing that I noticed online was how pure and simple this cleanser looked. (cheeky Hear'say reference there, did anyone else love that band? Im sorry I'm sidetracking...)

Well it didn't disappoint, This is such a super simple, easy cleanser. It can be used morning and/or evening. I personally like to use this in the morning as it is very light on the skin and feels super refreshing and hydrating with the help of the main ingredient of pure Icelandic water. I mean what could be more lovely!

When trying this for the first time, I was very surprised by how foaming this cleanser actually was. I only ever need to use one pump and it lathers up beautifully (as shown). To apply, I massage the cleanser into my hands and then apply all over the face. I then massage the product in circular motions until it transforms into a creamy milk. The scent is very light which is inspired by the cleansers Icelandic name 'Fersk' meaning fresh. It is very citrusy and fruity and also contains notes of lavender which helps to soothe any redness or puffiness that the skin may have. I find this is perfect to use at this time of the year as the winter weather has certainly taken its toll on my skin and anything that will help to get rid of my red bits then we are onto a winner!

However when it comes to removing makeup, I wouldn't reach for this to remove heavy eye makeup or heavy liner. It does work well to get rid of foundation and face makeup but as it is very light, It didn't fully remove my mascara. 

As a whole, I would say that if you are looking for an everyday morning cleanser and enjoy using luxury skincare then I would recommend trying this one out.  It has worked well in removing any redness that I have and my skin looks and feels more refreshed. The only issue I have is that it doesn't work wonders in removing eye makeup but if you fancy a light easy foaming cleanser,  then this may be for you!

Where can I find this?? 

This 200ml cleanser is available now from Naturally Better You.

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas and a happy New Year and if you fancy trying this cleanser out, I would love if you could get in touch and let me know your thoughts!
