Work It Out: Reiss

Every time Reiss launches a new collection you can bet that my lunch hour will be spent browsing their website with glee. If it wasn't for the price tag I think I would be purchasing all their dresses to fill my work wardrobe. This gorgeous Livia dress is one of my favourite Reiss purchases from last year. The rich blue mix of fabrics is incredibly flattering and makes a classy statement without being too overpowering.

Unfortunately this dress is no longer available in the blue, but it is on sale in the warm pewter (what I would call stone) colour for £117 here.

I know that Laura (buy now, blog later) modelled it very well on her blog in this shade here! However, if you are also a fan of the indigo you will be happy to know that they have a number of similar dresses this season too such as the Magda (£189 here).

 Or the Sophia (£179 here).

Nip + Fab Clean Fix Gel Review

Nip + Fab is a brand that I have been really interested in trying for a while so I had high hopes for the first product that was sent to me to review - The Nip + Fab Clean Fix Gel (£10.50).

The dual-action foaming formula is designed to remove daily dirt and oil with apple amino acids to deep cleanse pores and remove make up for purified and revitalised skin. The Clean Fix Gel promises to soften and rejuvenate the skin whilst plumping fine lines and preventing the formation of blackheads. Its main ingredients include glycolic acid to brighten and improve texture, apple amino acids to cleanse and purify and green tea to tone and refresh the skin.

I have to admit that I am normally a cream cleanser kind of girl as I hate the feeling of squeaky clean, tight skin, so I was a little skeptical of using a gel as my daily cleanser. However, despite the fact that this gel is very light, with a slight foaming action, it also feels extremely soft and almost creamy. It cleans effortlessly and leaves skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. I have really loved using it in the shower to remove makeup and daily London grime, as well as to exfoliate alongside my Clarisonic. So much so that in just under a month I made my way through the whole bottle, even though I only needed one or two pumps at a time.

If I am completely honest being a beauty blogger has made me a little bit complacent, so I often lose interest in a so-so product and quickly move on to newer things. However, this cleanser impressed me so much that I found myself scraping around the bottom of the bottle in a mild panic when it started to run out!

If you are looking for a really effective, gentle cleanser that works without stripping your skin's natural moisture I would highly recommend the Nip + Fab Clean Fix Gel. Plus at £10.50 for 120ml it won't break the bank either!

Have you tried the Nip + Fab Clean Fix Gel? Have you used any other Nip + Fab products? I am so excited to try more from this brand... do you have any recommendations? xxx

L’Oreal Color Riche Nail Collection

You all know how I love my mini polishes, so I was really excited to learn that L’Oreal Paris have recently launched a fantastic new range of mini nail varnishes. The Color Riche Nail Collection comprises 41 new nail shades perfect for every summer-time mood!

 (With flash)

Left to Right: Insolent Magenta 504, Cafe St Germain 109, Divine Indigo 609, Boudoir Rose 204.

 (Without flash)

I was kindly sent a little selection to play with and I absolutely adore them. First of all they are mini (collective awwwww), though despite their size they do feature a large flat brush, which makes application super fast and easy. All the colours I have tried were pretty much opaque in one coat too, so perfect for painting on the go.

Once again I was desperate to try these out as soon as they landed so I had to borrow a nail or four from a friend ;). The above shows just one coat of polish. Pretty!

Color Riche Polishes are available from Boots for £4.99 here.

Work It Out: Karen Millen Colourblock

My love for Karen Millen dresses is one of my worst kept secrets, but I had never really considered their knitwear! I recently picked up this super cute Karen Millen Colourblock dress on sale in Selfridges. The lovely girl working on the counter actually recognised me, which pretty much sealed the purchase lol.

Despite being form fitting this dress is super soft and comfortable. I actually purchased it in a size up as I wanted to wear it for work and was worried that it was a little short. Luckily, it's very stretchy so you can pretty much adjust it to the length you need!

Unfortunately it is no longer featured on the KM website, but I did find it on sale for £85 here (I have never purchased from this website, so I have no idea how reliable it is).
