Using Deodorant Is No Sweat

Today we're going to talk about the best deodorant I have ever used.
As we girls go through adolescence , we tend to sweat more which can be a big problem. Isn't sweat such a sexy topic?! 

Dove Maximum Protection Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Cream (here) is the answer to that problem. 

It's available in three different flavours. Not flavours. Scents. Original, fresh pomergrante & lemon verbena and fresh cucumber & green tea. 
I bought original, I think that was the first one I saw so I thought that was the only one available.


Dove says it..


  • Provides scientifically proven protection against wetness
  • Delivers all-day freshness through odour-fighting technology
  • Cares for your skin with Dove 1/4 moisturising cream
  • Features a significant fragrance to leave you feeling clean, fresh and beautiful


 It is  a 48 hour protection deodorant which is best applied at night to the underarms before going to bed. The recommended dose is two clicks of the deodorant (for each underarm) It lasts all day even after having a shower!








The deodorant also doesn't leave white marks on my clothes if I put the right amount under my arms. 
I really can't recommend it more! If you have problems with sweating and wetness under the arms this is the deodorant for you. 
I love the scent and the way it dries really quickly so I can get ready immediately.

When you smell nice, you feel better and it can really give you that confident boost you need.
Although at £5.30 it is at the pricey side but it is totally worth it! 

Have you tried this? What did you think?

MUA Lip Boom Review

Hello! Hope you're well?
I walked into Superdrug a few weeks ago and noticed that MUA (Makeup Academy) had their own stand. MUA is a cheap affordable brand with lipsticks, lip glosses blushers, eyeshadows, eye liners and lip liners for just £1! Needless to say, I was quite excited to see the new products they had to offer.
I noticed Lip Boom.


Alexandra Burke has teamed up with MUA to create Lip Boom.

It comes in eight shades chosen by Alex herself. L - R O.M.G, It's A Situation, Doin' Good, Cheeky!, LMK (Let Me Know), Vibe, Bring It and OK.com (does anyone remember Alex saying this on x-factor?)

I bought It's A Situation which is a rich berry colour. It is a matte lipstick. The lipstick has a toned-down sweet smell compared to the highlighter which has a very sweet smell which I suspect other would find overpowering but I quite like it.



 You can wear the lipstick alone for a matte look, or add the highlighter on top to make it glossy. Or you could just wear the highlighter, for a sheer pearly finish.
Karla Powell, Make Up Academy Make Up Artist suggests applying the highlighter on top of the cupids bow for a fuller top lip, or applying in the center of both lips for a plumped out full lip look. 
I don't think my lips need to look any fuller or more plumped than they already do!

I love the packaging as it looks more expensive that it actually is. Although the packaging of the lipstick looks big, it is certainly small enough  to fit into my makebag or one of the side pockets in my bag.

 I love the colour as it's very versatile. It can be worn on a casual day or a night out. However I detest the highlighter, I think it just ruins the beautiful lipstick underneath. The glitter in the highlighter is too big and it looks quite dreadful on me. 

I also love that Alex & MUA have created a range of colour to suit different skin tones.
If MUA offered this colour on it own, without the highlighter I'd just buy it. For £3 only, I'd definitely purchase Lip Boom again, it's just a shame that that highlighter is useless to me.

As it is a matte lipstick, one thing I'd suggest is making sure that your lips are well moisturised before applying the lipstick as it can really dry out the lips which is not a good look!

Have you bought any of these? What did you think?

OOTD | Camouflaged Pink

Helloo :) 
Please excuse my massively chipped nails!
As usual, I went to church today. I threw on my jumper which I love! I got it in the sale at Primark and I've got lot of  compliments on it.

I wanted to wear heels so I wore my comfiest ones from New Look, I also took my flats as usual because I had to get the bus home and I didn't want to break my ankle. Ain't nobody got time for dat!

Don't be deceived! Although the sun was shining, it was cold. I ordered my jacket from Boohoo.com. Army green is really on trend right now and it's different to any other coat I own. 
It kept me warm however I wouldn't wear it when it's starts snowing!

My lovely sister took some pics, here they are!
