I'm not sure about you but something I've always wanted to exaggerate is the hour glass figure. I already sort of had it but I wanted the tiny toned waist. And if I'm being honest I wanted it with the minimilest amount of effort.
Weighted hula hoops do the job but you need to do at least 15 minutes, spinning both ways, every day - and let me tell you the hoop fair bruises you the next day, meaning hooping the day after is a pretty painful affair.
Recently I've been seeing a fair bit about waist training, and what with celebrities like Kim Kardashian doing it, it appears to have become quite the popular thing.
Does it work though? That's what you really want to know because frankly some of these waist trainers are bloody expensive for what is, essentially, a modern day corset... I think if you are looking for a cheaper option (around £20 or less then depop, Groupon and wowcher are good places to start). I got mine from Groupon, it was around £17 with postage for it and came from Who Run The World waist trainers. The ones they sell on their site range from around £40 to upwards of £50. And that is just a little out of my reach, especially if your not even sure if it will work.
When mine came I tried it on straight away, using the middle set of books - there's 3 rows you can use, going in a set when you progress. It was tight to put on but when it was actually on it was comfortable to wear, I think there is mean to be a little discomfort when your wearing it? When it was on properly the tightness went away too... Maybe my size isn't right? Although the size is for 8 through 12s sooo...
I wore it for at least 5 hours twice on the middle set of hooks before deciding to try go to the tightest set. When it was on I found a slight issue with it, by that I mean that when it was on it bunched up at the back - it didn't do this on the middle set, so maybe I just went too tight too quickly? Cause if it kept bunching you definitely couldn't get away with wearing this out and about, you'd definitely be noticed with a bulging back otherwise.
I feel like this is more of a quick fix, than a long term solution. Like the results you get from wearing this for a couple of days is really nice, but if you don't keep it up - then you'll soon notice the effects of it wearing off.
I think if you were to do this along with having a good diet and a good amount of exercise then you could probably benefit fully from using it. I'm just a little too lazy to do all that but if I ever get into the habit of wearing it whilst being super healthy I'll let you know how the effects differ.
My lovely boyfriend recently went on holiday, apparently missed me a huge bunch. And came back with the most amazing gift ever, Chanel Chance.
If ever there was something you should 100% buy your girlfriend, something Chanel would always go down a treat. Perfume is something that can be tricky to buy someone but he got it right!
Apparently he got his friends to wear the perfumes so he could decide what one he liked best. What a pet lamb.
The smell of this is amazing though. I can't quite put my finger on what it is that makes it smell so lovely but it really does. I'm pretty much assuming this is a fake, but it smells so amazing that I don't even care.
What fragrance do you love?
My birthday is fast approaching, and my mum keeps pestering me about what I'm wanting so I thought I'd make a wee wishlist and maybe she'll see it - more likely she wont, but whatevs.
I went into the Levi's store in Glasgow recently and fell in love with the 721 High Waisted Skinnies, they were literally the best fitting & feeling jeans I've ever worn and I was in love, the only down side was the price. £85 was just a bit to high for me so fingers crossed they come down in price a little...
While in Levi's I saw these shoes on a display model, the looked lovely. They're currently in the sale for around £80 down from £125. For real leather boots I don't think thats a too bad price.
I keep wanting to do a Sephora order and the new Becca x Jacklyn Hill Highlighter isn't helping matters. Neither is the Kat Von D foundation though - I've heard great things about this, and I really really want to get my mits on it!
Zoeva brushes are always a good shout for a gift, they have loads of lovely sets and in the grand scheme of things they aren't overly high priced, if I don't get them for my birthday maybe I will for Christmas?
Final item I'd love to get is a bodysuit, American Apparel ones are lovely - although I will need some amount of boob tape to hold my girls where they are meant to be. The one in the picture above actually looked amazing on but the price made me cry a bit, at £40 I just couldn't do it.
Whats on your wish list?
I can't remember where I originally saw this brush, but I'm pretty sure I saw it on a blog a few months back. Anyhoo, I basically saw it and thought it looked pretty good and for a couple of pounds I didn't really think I could go wrong. I didn't expect big things from this, and I think that's why I'm so blown away by how good this is!
For such a cheap brush it feels super soft and so far the bristles haven't started to fall out - they don't actually seem like they will fall out which is a huge plus.
It grabs just enough product - just as a heads up, I've been using it with the NARS Laguna bronzer - I've used it a handful amount of times and it never picks up too much. It gives the most perfect amount of product to blend on the face, its also the perfect size so contouring the cheeks is literally the easiest thing.
For £1.79p including the postage you really can't go wrong and I couldn't recommend this brush more. I'm thinking I might try it out with cream products to see how it works with them since it does so well with powder.
Have you found any bargan brushes?
