Shoe Unboxing With River Island

 
 
 
 
 



I'm so in love with these gladiator sandals from River Island. As soon as I saw them in the window I had to run in to buy them!!!
I couldn't believe the price they are so reasonable at €56.
They look great on their own or worn with frilly socks. I'm going to pair them with a cute skater dress or skinny jeans! Perfect for warm spring/summer days.

They are available in River Island stores now but are selling out fast I bought the last size 5 when I was there!

Available in gold and silver I want them in every colour!
Also available on the River Island website *Click Here* and on ASOS *Click Here*


Hope you all have a great week!

Do These Things Work?


Boots Tea Tree Witch Hazel Nose Pore Strips
Yes we can read the box but what do these things actually do and more importantly do they work?


I came across these nose pore strips a few years ago in Boots while searching for a face exfoliant. At approx €6.50 I picked up a pack to try (out of curiosity) and I have been repurchasing them religiously ever since!

Inside the pack is 6 individually wrapped strips, which is great because they stay fresh after the pack is opened. The strips are super easy to use and the directions are so simple,

1. Clean your face of any products
2. Dampen nose with water
3. Apply strip and allow to dry
4. Remove after 10 mins

As the strip dries on your damp nose it hardens. When it hardens it tightens pores and grips onto any blackheads or dirt on your nose. The strip tingles your nose as it dries and can sometimes become very irritating as u can't scratch your nose while it's on! 

Pulling the strip off is relatively pain free, and so worth it when you see blackheads/dirt remain on the strip. 

What do I think ?
This product doesn't perform to my expectations, whenever I have a noticeable blackhead on my nose the strips can never seem to clear it, they only remove very small unnoticeable blackheads or dirt. However in saying this it does prevent these small impurities from clogging up pores and causing spots. As well as this pores do appear tighter and skin is less oily after use. At over €1 every time you use a strip I don't think the value for money is very good but I would still recommend them as I have yet to find a better, cheaper competitor!

Here's a few ridiculous pictures of me using the strips! 


If you have used this product I would love to hear your feedback!

Hope you all have a great week,
