My Style Crush : Nina Dobrev

             
Hello Everyone,
 
                             Another day, another style crush, this time being the ever so gorgeous Nina Dobrev. I started watching the vampire diaries about 2 months ago and yes I know I'm a little late to the bandwagon but I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Although I would not personally call Nina's style, my style, oh look at me referring to her as Nina pretending that I actually know her and that we are close friends 'in my dreams' anyway as I was saying, I would not say that my style is similar to hers and I wouldn't  try to copy her style because I don't think it would suit me personally, but I think she looks the bomb.com and she can work it, actually I'm pretty sure she could wear anything and still look amazing, well anyway here are some of my favourite outfits.

Origins GinZing Energy-Boosting Moisturiser Reivew | Katikins

Hi Everyone,

                      Recently I have been getting into skincare and I was wondering if you would like more skincare posts let me know in the comments and I will be sure to read them and get your feedback.
 
So I have been trying the Origins GinZing Energy boosting moisturiser and I thought I would let you know my thoughts and opinion on the product but first of all let me give you a run down of my skin.
 
 
 
  • I have dry and flaky skin and when I say dry I mean dry, its the Sahara desert up in here
  • I have extremely sensitive skin that when it breaks out it gets red and sore and turns into a rash
  • I do not have acne and I very rarely get spots and when I do they are the big ones that sit underneath the skin and never rise.
  • lastly I have quite a dull complexion
 
The first thing I noticed about this product is the scent its smell very strongly of orange chocolate which some of you may really like but I personally don't like the smell of artificial fruit but that's okay I can get over it cause I really enjoy what it does to my skin.
 
Luckily this product did not break me out, Hooray! but I did not notice a real difference in the hydration of my skin as it was still very dry buts that's fine because the product does not claim to do help with that but what i does to is brighten my complexion and make me look and lot more glowy  so I love using as a moisturiser in the morning before I apply any makeup as it make a really nice base for my makeup to stick on to and that's why I have really enjoyed it.
 
I would really recommend this product if your skin is looking really dull and lifeless because it just seems to wake up my skin and makes my skin look more likely and awake
 
Thanks for reading,

Lets Talk About Nails...

    You may of wondered why you haven't seen or heard of me in while, and I'm gonna use a excuse that even I hate hearing or saying the truth is i have been busy, that's it plain old busy, I'm not gonna get into the facts of why i have been busy i just want to get back into blogging especially cause my 1 year anniversary is fastly approaching on my blog that's all i want to focus on at the moment, so lets begin.

This year me and my friend set ourselves a summer goal of Instagram hands I know kind of random and some of you may not quite understand so i thought i should include some images of what we classify as Instagram hands



Okay, so the first thing you may notice is they have perfectly polishes nails, so that is were are first part comes in after this you may notice there amazing nail shape and then their beautiful stacked rings so I thought I would talk you through our process of how we intend to achieve these perfect paws.

Step One - Choose your shape

There are may nails shapes, but I have decided to go for the almond shape but you can chose anyone you want then take a quick search in to YouTube and watch a tutorial on how to file your nails into your chosen shape.

Step Two - The Nude Nails

In my opinion everyone needs to own a good nude nail polish so chose one that will compliment you skin tone I picked up essie sand tropez for this part.
Step 3 - The Top Coat

Everyone needs a good top coat and in my opinion seche vite top coat is bomb.

Step 4 - Buy some rings and midi rings and stack them on your fingers and then the insta hands are complete.
