Right Guard Total Defence 5 Women - Review

Right Guard Total Defence 5 Women - Review

Hello Lovelies

Today I have a post for you about a new product, the Right Guard Total Defence 5 anti perspirant deodorant. If you're a long time reader of my blog you'll know I am very shall we say selective when it comes to choosing a deodorant, some would say fussy I say selective. I get very hot because of the medication I take for my condition and need a good deodorant and it took me years of trying many different ones to find one I liked and I have used it ever since so when these Right Guard deodorants arrived for me to try I was eager to try them being somewhat a connoisseur of deodorant and see if they would be as good as if not better than my HG deodorant.

Right Guard Total Defence 5 Women - Review

I have 5 different Total Defence deodorants Pure, Sport, Invisible Power, Sensitive Power and Floral Power.

Right Guard Total Defence 5 Women - Review

The Right Guard Total Defence 5 is a new deodorant for women (mens also available) and has been developed to fight the 5 signs of perspiration -

✿ Odour
✿ Wetness
✿ Stickiness
✿ Bacteria
✿ Stains

The innovative Lock - Fresh Technology contains active molecules for all day freshness, total defence 5 is alcohol free and dermatologically tested.

Pure

Right Guard Total Defence 5 Pure is free from alcohol, parabens, colourants and has an unscented formula.

Sport

Right Guard Total Defence 5 Sport adapts to the level of your activity and is specially developed for sport and physical conditions.

Invisible Power

Right Guard Total Defence 5 Invisible Power has a unique formula which provides complete protection against white, yellow and oily stains.

Sensitive Power

Right Guard Total Defence 5 Sensitive Power contains an anti-irritation formula with powdery fragrance for all day freshness.

Floral Power

Right Guard Total Defence 5 Floral Power contains active molecules which will continuously release the delicate floral scent of Orchid and Viola for all day freshness.

My Thoughts

The first thing I noticed about the deodorants was the packaging, I really like it, I love the white background with the bright colours it makes it so easy to find on the supermarket or drugstore shelves. As I said at the start of the post I have tried so many different deodorants over the years and it took me such a long time to find my "holy grail" product because I get so hot due to the medication I take and am always worried about perspiring so in all honesty I thought I wouldn't like the Right Guard as much as my HG deodorant. I have tried each one out numerous times and I have to say I really like them all, I have very sensitive skin and eczema prone skin and due to some recent events and bad news we've had my eczema has been extremely bad but I haven't had a problem at all using any of the deodorants.

They all smell lovely and fresh and the scent lasted all day, the scent of the Floral one is particularly lovely and when I gave my mum a hug recently she asked me what perfume I was wearing and it was the Floral deodorant, it smells so nice and has a lovely fresh floral scent it really is a lovely scent. All the Defence 5 have 48 hour protection but with showering each day I wouldn't be able to say if the deodorant lasts for 48 hours but what I can say is I had a shower very early one morning and applied the deodorant and didn't shower again until around 9.30am the following morning so around 29 hours later and I was still just as fresh as the morning I'd applied the deodorant so although that isn't 48 hours it is a long time and I felt and smelled just as fresh.

I loved all 5 of the deodorants, the 4 scented ones all have a lovely fresh scent which isn't overpowering and although they all smell different they all smell really nice and especially the Floral Power. I love that Right Guard have included the Pure deodorant as it is perfect if you have sensitive skin or if products free from parabens and colorants are something you look for when buying beauty products, I read ingredients when buying beauty products as I have extremely sensitive skin and I do also like to avoid parabens where possible so I was really pleased when I saw the Pure deodorant.

I also adore the Invisible Power and think it might just be my favourite out of the 5,  I wear a lot of black and especially in winter and I don't get any white marks on my clothes at all when I use it, it is the first deodorant to claim no white marks that I have used and found to be true it is absolutely fantastic and I am super impressed, it does exactly what it says on the tin. I am really pleased with all 5 deodorants and would highly recommend all 5 and despite my initial reservations because I thought I would never find a deodorant I liked as much as the one I have been using for around 2 years now but I absolutely love them all and will definitely be purchasing more once I have used them all up, and anyone who is a long time reader of my blog will know that is a bold statement for me to make, I struggled for years to find a deodorant I liked and one that suited me but I have definitely found my new holy grail deodorant. I am really impressed by them all and think you will be too and if like me you've been using the same product for a long time and think nothing else will be as good, give the Right Guard Total Defence 5 a try, you won't be disappointed.

You can find the Right Guard Total Defence 5 at Boots HERE and at Superdrug HERE, it is also available in all leading high street supermarkets, priced at £2.99.

Thank you for reading, much love as always

My New Personalised Phone Case

Hello Lovelies

I have needed a phone case for my iPhone 6 for a while but couldn't find one I really liked, so I have had a cheap and cheerful pink case on my phone since I got it last May and then on the 1st December I replaced it with my festive phone case which you may have seen on my Instagram feed.

Recently I was contacted by the lovely people at gocustomized and they asked if I'd like to choose a case for my phone, it was as if they'd read my mind and I immediately said "yes please I'd love to" I love personalised things and was super excited that gocustomized offered personalised phone cases and couldn't wait to have one for my phone. Gocustomized are a great website, they offer personalised cases for many brands of tablet or phone so if you're thinking "but I don't have an iPhone" it really doesn't matter because they offer personalised cases for lots of different brands of phone or tablet so you're sure to find one to suit yours.

The gocustomized website was super easy to use and creating my phone case was simple, there are many different cases and designs to choose from you can choose from your favourite photograph, pattern, quote or design it's entirely up to you and if you can't find inspiration for a design you like, goscustomized offer some standard designs for you to choose from and shipping to the UK is free which is brilliant.

When I had chosen the phone case I wanted to customise I knew immediately which image and quote I would use to design my phone case, I chose one of my favourite family photographs and added a quote that means a lot to me and my family.

My New Personalised Phone Case


I chose the iPhone 6/6S Personalised Soft Case in white and had one of my favourite photographs of me and my lovely family on it which is a selfie taken on our holiday last August with the quote "we may not have it altogether, but together we have it all" above the photograph. The quote means a lot to us and I love my new phone case. I tried lots of different designs and that was one of the things I liked most about the site was that I could see how the case would look so I made different collages of photographs with an app I have on my phone and tried those and I also tried other images too it was so easy to do but this is one of my favourite photographs and reminds me of such happy times and the added quote makes it very special to me, the quote is special to us and it sums us up perfectly, we don't have much but we have each other.

I also liked that I could make the photograph smaller to fit the case as so often with customised phone cases the photograph doesn't fit in the space, there were different font options for the quote and different colour options for the writing too, you could also make the size of the quote smaller or larger too. I love that you can add any image and put any quote or message you like on the case too. I chose the white option for my phone as the front of my phone is white but the case also comes in black and transparent.

My New Personalised Phone Case

The case fits my phone perfectly and everyone I have shown it to loves it and have asked me where I got it so I can see quite a few of my friends and family members ordering one too. 

The cases would make a perfect present for someone, I think personalised gifts are always really special and I am always so touched when I receive a personalised gift and lots of people get new phones or tablets as a Christmas gift so a personalised case would make a lovely birthday gift or even Valentines gift, my eldest daughter and her boyfriend recently bought a new iPad between them and my daughter gave her old iPad to Simon so I am going to get him a case for it for Valentines day, as most of you know he is a HUGE Star Wars fan so I am going to find some cool images of Star Wars and quotes from the films to personalise him a case for it for Valentines. I am so pleased with my new phone case and found the gocustomized site so easy to use, I would highly recommend you give it a try you won't be disappointed. 

So if you would like to create your own iPhone 6 case or any other brand of phone case or if you got a new phone or tablet for Christmas and would love a personalised case for it, you can find the gocustomized website HERE and if you like the phone case I chose and would like one for yourself, you can find it HERE for £14.95 with free shipping. 

Thank you for reading, much love as always

Three Easy Christmas Nail Looks

Three Easy Christmas Nail Looks

Hello Lovelies

Today I'm going to share with you three of my favourite Christmas nail looks that are super easy to create. 

Look One

The first nail look I have for you is extremely easy and is just one polish that I feel is perfect for Christmas. 

Three Easy Christmas Nail Looks

Look number one is super simple and is just one polish, the Barry M Sparkling Ruby nail polish, it is a beautiful deep red polish with a finely milled gold glitter through it creating a lovely sparkly red polish, it gives a gorgeous effect and one that I feel is perfect for Christmas. I used the Essie Gel Setter top coat to give a fabulous shine and long lasting finish. 

Three Easy Christmas Nail Looks

If you would like to re create look number one you can find the Barry M Sparkling Ruby polish at Superdrug for £3.99 Superdrug currently have an offer where if you spend £6.00 on Barry M products you'll receive the Sparkling Ruby polish free. You'll find the Essie Gel Setter top coat from Boots for £9.99 and Essie currently have a free gift available with a £15 spend. 

Look Two

The second nail look is beautiful and again really simple to create, it's a gorgeous bright red sparkly look and one I love. 

Three Easy Christmas Nail Looks

To create the look I used 2 coats of the Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish polish in the shade Double Decker Red and then on my ring finger I used one coat of the Barry M polish in the shade Ruby Slippers and finished with the Essie Gel Setter top coat. 

Three Easy Christmas Nail Looks

If you would like to create look number two you can find the Rimmel Double Decker Red polish on the Nail Polish Direct site for £2.99 including free delivery, the Barry M Ruby Slippers polish  from Superdrug for £2.99 and the Essie Gel Setter Topcoat from Boots for £9.99, Essie currently have a free gift with a £15 spend. 

Look Three

Three Easy Christmas Nail Looks

I think this is my favourite look of all three looks and is the most difficult of the three but it's not too complicated. It's a sparkly french manicure. I created a french manicure as normal by painting the tips of my nails with the  Essence French Tip Painter and then used 2 coats of the Rimmel Brit Manicure in 445 over the top, then I used the Barry M Silver Glitter over the top of the white tips and finished with a coat of the Orly Glosser top coat. 

Three Easy Christmas Nail Looks

Three Easy Christmas Nail Looks

I love the look of the sparkly silver tips and I get so many compliments when I wear this nail look, it goes with any outfit too so it doesn't matter what you're wearing it will go nicely and look super festive. If you would like to create the look you can find the Essence Nail Tip Painter from Wilko for £1.50, the Rimmel Brit Manicure in 445 from Superdrug for £4.49, the Barry M Silver Glitter from Superdrug for £2.99 and the Orly Glosser top coat from Nail Polish Direct for £13.80 inc delivery. 

So those are my three easy Christmas nail looks, I hope you liked them all, they are all easy to create and look lovely and extremely Christmassy too. 

Which one is your favourite? 

Thank you for reading, much love as always

Christmas Gift Idea's For Her With Qwerkity - Laptop Manicure

Hello Lovelies

Today's post is another of my Christmas Gift Idea's For Her posts and I think this is my favourite out of all my Christmas Gift Idea's yet. It is the Perfect Solutions Laptop Manicure Salon from the website Qwerkity - Presents For Men, Qwerkity have a fantastic range of gifts for her and him and also for teens, small children and grandparents, there is a drop down list of who the gift is for and then you can choose your budget which can be as little as £0 - £5 or as large as £100+ and there is so much to choose from it really is a fantastic site and not just for choosing a Christmas gift, it's an ideal site for birthday gifts or any occasion, I have only recently discovered Qwerkity but it is now a firm favourite of mine, anyway back to the Christmas gift idea, the Laptop Manicure.

Christmas Gift Idea's For Her With Qwerkity - Laptop Manicure

Christmas Gift Idea's For Her With Qwerkity - Laptop Manicure

Christmas Gift Idea's For Her With Qwerkity - Laptop Manicure

The Laptop Manicure is a fantastic idea and is ideal for anyone who enjoys painting their nails, it comes with a pink cushioned base which is easily removable for cleaning.

Christmas Gift Idea's For Her With Qwerkity - Laptop Manicure

Christmas Gift Idea's For Her With Qwerkity - Laptop Manicure

The Laptop Manicure has a lidded compartment which is brilliant for storing accessories,  I keep my nail file, cuticle trimmer and cuticle pusher in there and my nail polish remover pen and some cotton pads. 

Christmas Gift Idea's For Her With Qwerkity - Laptop Manicure

There is a well for keeping nail polishes and nail polish remover in which I find really useful when I'm painting my nails because the polish is secure meaning I don't need to screw the lid on tightly in between coats, the tray is fantastic for leaning on when filing and painting my nails.

I absolutely love the Laptop Manicure it is a fantastic idea and will make a perfect gift for anyone who loves to paint their nails, it makes it so much easier. There is also a carry handle to make transporting the Laptop Manicure around and it isn't heavy either which is a bonus. I can't rave about this product enough, I am so impressed with it and haven't seen anything like it before, I think it would make a perfect Christmas gift,  all my friends love it and would like one in their stocking too, as I said earlier in the post I think this is definitely my favourite of all my Christmas Gift idea's for her so far, it's an amazing idea.  

If you would like to purchase a Laptop Manicure as a Christmas gift for someone or to treat yourself, you can find it HERE for £19.99.

I would also highly recommend checking out the Qwerkity website for Christmas gifts or gifts for any occasion, it's a fabulous site. You can find the website HERE

My Christmas Party Outfit Idea's 2015

My Christmas Party Outfit Idea's 2015

Hello Lovelies,

Christmas is a time when parties are held, whether it's family or friends holding a party or it's a works outing there are often parties to go to and for those parties it's nice to have a new outfit to wear and even if you don't have a Christmas party to go to it's often nice to dress up at Christmas, in our house we dress up on Christmas day, we either go to my parents or they come to us and they always dress up too. This year it's my friends 50th birthday shortly before Christmas and he's having a party too so I thought I would share with you some of the outfit idea's I've found online whilst I've been looking for a Christmassy outfit and one I can also wear for the birthday party I'm going to, maybe my choices will give some of you some inspiration too if you too are looking for a party or Christmas day outfit.

My Christmas Party Outfit Choices


My Christmas Party Outfit Idea's 2015

1. River Island Black Embellished Strappy Cami - £38.00 

2. New Look Black Suede Mid Heel Shoes - £20.09 (was £29.99) 

3. Cherry Diva Jessie Crystal Statement Necklace - £6.99 

4. New Look Black Sequin Lace 2 in 1 Skater Dress - £27.99

5. New Look Black Velvet Sequin Mesh Panel Dress - £17.24 

6. River Island Molly Black Skinny Jeggings - £40.00 

7. Dorothy Perkins (at Debenhams) Black Sequin Clutch - £12.00 (was £15.00) 

8. New Look Black Ankle Strap Mid Heel Sandals - £14.99 

9. Next Black Lace V Neck Dress - £45.00 

10. Next Black Sequin Ombre Dress - £60.00

So those are my picks of party outfits, I chose skinny jeans and a sparkly top as well as dresses as I think with the statement necklace and either pair of heels plus the clutch it would make a great outfit and is a great alternative to a party dress, I often choose skinny jeans and a sparkly top and heels rather than a dress especially if the occasion isn't a formal one. Both pairs of shoes, the clutch and the necklace would look great with any of the dresses too. I can't wear very high heels so both the sandals and the shoes have just a nice size heel for me, I love that the clutch is quite big too so can fit all my essentials in. 

Are you going to any parties over the festive period? Do you have your outfit? I hope you enjoyed seeing my Christmas party outfit choices, which one is your favourite? Let me know in the comments. 

Thank you for reading, much love as always

Christmas Gift Idea's For Men 2015 With Mankind

Hello Lovelies,

Today I have another Christmas gift idea's post for you and today's post is a Christmas gift idea's for men, I always find the men in my family the hardest to buy for at Christmas but the website Mankind has some fantastic Gifts For Men. Mankind recognise that approaching a sales assistant in a department store can be a daunting prospect and also not everyone has the time to go to a department store so they have committed to bringing grooming solutions to you so you can identify your needs or the needs of the man in your life or male friend or family member. Mankind encompasses the modern man, the man who isn't afraid to take care of himself, their collections contain everything from high quality hair products to some of the best skin care products around, tending to all male grooming needs from the comfort of your own home.

Spending money on premium beauty and styling products for ourselves isn't always an option and in my experience it isn't something the men I buy Christmas gifts for do, so giving them premium beauty and grooming products as gifts is a great idea, it enables them to try out premium brands they would normally overlook. In today's Christmas gift idea's post I have some male hair and grooming products that make ideal Christmas gifts for the man in your life or any male you buy a Christmas gift for.

Hair Products


Christmas Gift Idea's For Men 2015  With Mankind

I have 3 products to share with you from the premium hair care and male grooming company American Crew that I feel would make ideal gifts or even stocking fillers depending on your budget. 

Forming Cream 

Christmas Gift Idea's For Men 2015  With Mankind

American Crew Forming Cream (£13.95) is a water based hair staying product which is mouldable but offers firm control and superb hold, it contains conditioning properties so it won't dry the hair out and provides high hold, excellent pliability, low shine and a healthy look.

Fiber

Christmas Gift Idea's For Men 2015  With Mankind

American Crew Fiber (£13.95) has developed a cult following amongst professional hair stylists. It gives a matte texture and is ideal for a chopped or textured style to give an on trend look. 

Boost Powder

Christmas Gift Idea's For Men 2015  With Mankind

American Crew Boost Powder (£14.50) is a great product for adding thickness and texture to the hair, it can be layered with any other American Crew product and adds grit for a gravity defying texture. Boost Powder adds texture and volume whilst providing a flexible hold, it retains moisture and softens the hair.

American Crew is a great brand offering various different hair styling and male grooming products, to check out their products you can find the brand HERE on the Mankind website.

Skincare


Christmas Gift Idea's For Men 2015  With Mankind

Christmas Gift Idea's For Men 2015  With Mankind

The L'Oreal Men Expert Hydra Energetic Turbo Booster Recharging Moisturiser (£14.30) is a non greasy hydrating moisturiser with an ultra rich formula rich in Vitamin C that absorbs quickly into the skin for optimum results. The Men Expert range from L'Oreal is an affordable range with a wide variety of products ideal if the man in your life likes to take care of his skin or if you are thinking of starting him off with a skin care regime for the new year, my partner Simon wouldn't research skin care for himself but is interested in looking after his skin so if your partner or a male friend or relative is the same, the Men Expert range would be great and this moisturiser is a brilliant product to add in to that skincare regime, Mankind have a great range of L'Oreal Men Expert products on their website

Body Products

Christmas Gift Idea's For Men 2015  With Mankind

Christmas Gift Idea's For Men 2015  With Mankind

Scaramouche & Fandango are a modern British brand who pride themselves on simple yet effective style and distinctive packaging, they have one signature fragrance across their male grooming collection to bind their products as one distinct range. There are a variety of different products in their range including skin care, hair care, male grooming and fragrance, I love the packaging, it's sleek but straight to the point with each product having colourful lettering to show the product inside for example the body wash (£7.00) has an orange BW on the packaging and the face scrub has a purple FS on the packaging. I think any of their products would make an ideal Christmas gift either separately or as a mix of products to make a male grooming package. 

You can find a great range of Scaramouche & Fandango products HERE on the Mankind website

All the products I have shared with you today are great products and make ideal Christmas gift idea's whether they're for your partner or a male friend or relative or even for a secret Santa gift for a work colleague, Mankind is a fantastic site and so easy to use, they have a points system called Manpoints where you gain 4 points for every £1 you spend and delivery is free with a £50 spend to UK destinations, there are also free international delivery options. 

I hope this post has given you some inspiration for finding male Christmas gifts, do you find males harder to buy for when it comes to your Christmas shopping? 

Thank you for reading, much love as always

Matte Lips With Avon

Matte Lips With Avon

Hello Lovelies,

I love wearing matte lipsticks, I find they have a great wear time compared to other lipstick finishes and because I am lucky not to suffer with dry lips even during the winter time I don't have any problems with the look of a matte lip. I have recently been trying out some matte lipsticks from Avon and today am going to share my thoughts with you.

Matte Lips With Avon

The matte lipsticks I have been trying are the Avon Perfectly Matte Lipsticks in the shades Posh Petal, Electric Pink and Ravishing Rose.

Posh Petal £7.50


Matte Lips With Avon

Matte Lips With Avon

Posh Petal is a very pale blue toned pink, I have an extremely blue tone to my lips because of one of the medications I take so I have to be very careful when wearing a blue toned lipstick but Posh Petal does also have a slight nude tone to it and is a lovely everyday shade. 

Electric Pink £7.50

Matte Lips With Avon

Matte Lips With Avon

Electric Pink is another blue toned pink but much brighter than Posh Petal, it is a very vibrant pink and not for the faint hearted, it puts me in mind of Candy Yum Yum by MAC, if you like bright lips you'll love Electric Pink.

Ravishing Rose £7.50

Matte Lips With Avon

Matte Lips With Avon

Ravishing Rose is a pink toned red lipstick and a lovely shade especially for this time of year, I love a red lip all year round but wear one quite often during the winter months. 

Matte Lips With Avon
L-R Electric Pink, Posh Petal & Ravishing Rose 


Swatches

Matte Lips With Avon

I love the packaging of the lipsticks it is sleek and classy and I really like the black and silver. The lipsticks feel lovely on the lips and apply effortlessly without any dragging at all, they feel extremely moisturising and not drying at all, they don't dry down or feel powdery as a matte lip often can and the wear time is fantastic. 

My favourite of the three is Ravishing Rose it's a beautiful pink toned red and looks lovely on the lips, I loved all three colours but I do love a red lip so knew I'd love Ravishing Rose before I tried it, all three shades are beautiful and wore really well without any feathering or bleeding. I was really impressed with all three lipsticks, they applied well, had an excellent wear time, they didn't feel dry at all and didn't drag my lips at all and they felt incredibly moisturising. I think they are fantastic lipsticks for the price and well worth looking at if you haven't already and if you are normally put off by a matte lip because of their usual dryness these would be perfect for you, they are the most moisturising matte lip I have tried.
