Average girl tries 'Filter' by Mollie Mae
Okay, Okay I know I'm behind with reviewing this product. But fake tan is something I'm quite new too and I wanted to make sure I was getting it right before I wrote about it, but here it is. It's been well tested and I'm ready to spill the tea and share my thoughts on it.
When I first saw Mollie Mae
announce that she was working on something exciting, I had my suspicions that
it would be a fake tan so when it officially launched it went straight in my
basket. So let’s talk about the basics first such as the price, packaging and what’s
on offer. Being quite a pale ghostly individual, I was a little intimidated by
the fact that the only two shades available were Dark and Extra dark, I thought
it was quite a risky move and that she may be missing out catering for the paler
of us population. But I have to say as soon as I tried it, I soon found that
this tan is so adaptable and you're really able to control or light or dark you
want it to go!
So I went for the Dark tanning
Mousse, and may I just say the packaging is BEAUTIFUL! It comes in a gorgeous
nude coloured tube with a gold rim around the top, and the branding as a whole
is just so minimalistic which I love! In terms of application it’s pretty
straight forward, you simply have to shake the bottle for a minute or two to
activate the tan into a gorgeous mousse. And simply apply!
In terms of transferring onto
your clothes, I tend to just leave my tan to dry for around 5 minutes and
getting into my comfy’s as I always apply it to sit overnight and so far I've
had no issues with it transferring which is something I've struggled with
previously whilst using other tans. And finally, how long does the tan last
before giving your skin a tiger loaf like appearance? One thing I was really
impressed with is how long it lasts. you can get away with around 5 days of it
looking completely natural and fresh before it starts turning into tiger loaf
which I think is a great amount of time.
It's fair to say that I'm super
impressed with this tan, and I can't see myself switching to anything else
anytime soon and I'm so excited to see what else Molly Mae has up her sleeve!
Have you tried the Mollie Mae tan? What
are your thoughts?
Planning your life with CGD London
*Post contains gifted ad for the purpose of review, all thoughts and opinions are my own*
Working full time whilst attempting to run a blog, an Instagram, a photography business whilst also trying to keep on top of a social life is a tricky old thing. Everything moves at such a fast pace, as if you blink and you'll miss it. With technology ruling the way we think and run our lives, its nice to go back to the old fashioned way of pen and paper.
Now considering I'm a full-time social media co-ordinator, I love a new notebook, a mind map and a good list or two to help me smash my targets. This is what I love about the CGD London goals Diary, a beautiful June 2019 to December 2020 diary designed to keep you on track with reaching your goals. And trust me, your girl has a hell of a lot of goals to fulfill.
Next year I have more goals than ever, goals to be happy, goals to be productive and goals to get myself where I want to be. Starting with my fitness journey. Along with joining a weekly fitness group, I have joined the gym. And there's no better way to keep you on track than a diary, here I can note down my goals, what I'll do to achieve them and when I'm hitting them. There's no need to rely on battery power, just one book that contains everything you need that will always be with you on the go.
Not only does this little diary have a monthly calendar, but its also filled with plenty of little weekly goal and to do sections which is definitely one of my favourite parts! It also includes pages of space for notes and addresses. To note down phone numbers, important need to know info and my healthy recipes! There's just something about organising my life in a diary that truly makes me feel like I've got my sh*t together, and I absolutely love it!
The need to know information
This beautiful diary comes in at £28 and can offer you monthly, weekly and daily overviews for your goals and to do lists. Its made of a vegan friendly black leather front and back which really adds a high quality to finish. Most importantly, you can purchase your very own from here using my discount code 'REBECA15' And I couldn't recommend that you buy this enough!
Happy planning!
Summer beauty must haves | Gifted
*All the below products have been kindly gifted for the purpose of review*
Norvell Tannin spray - £35.99
Ahh to be tanned, wouldn’t it be lovely? Now I’m the kind of
person that will shoot off on a holiday and return the same colour, despite all
my effort to sunbathe as much as I can. (When I say as much I can I mean, for
as long as my patience will last) I’m just not the kind of person that can lay
in the sun for hours on end and find it relaxing, I become a hot sweaty mess
and quite frankly I get pretty bored.
That’s why I decided its time to turn to the fake tan, now I’m
not insecure in my paleness but its always nice to jazz it up a little in the
sunnier weeks and always interesting to experiment with some new make up colours
and tones. I was kindly gifted the Norvell tanning spray from Alex Silver PR
and its safe to say that I have found a new staple piece to add to my beauty collection.
So, first thoughts on the crucial eye-catching packaging, it
definitely screams luxury as its gorgeous purple and black bottle is an aesthetically
pleasing piece to look at. It’s the perfect size, enough product to enable a
good few applications but small enough to just chuck in your bag for travel.
In terms of the application itself, similar to most fake tan
it can be slightly tricky to apply to hard to reach places such as my back as I’m
an individual with particularly short arms so as you can imagine I definitely
need a little helping hand. Once left for 8 hours it leaves the most beautiful
natural tan, and I am utterly in love.
Design.ME/Puff.ME light - £17
The Puff.Me hair mist from Design.ME. Okay spoiler alert this is revolutionary.
I’d gotten o used to having flat hair due to my hate of hairspray, but then
this came along and has literally changed the game for me. The puff.me hair
mist is designed to be pumped onto our roots to deliver a hella amount of
volume. And It works!
When I was first gifted this by Sparkle PR I was questioning
how a little powder would work to give me a volume boost, but as soon as I
tried it I was in love. Now I don’t know
what the competitor of this is whether it be hairspray or any other product,
but it has the magical power of creating volume without leaving your hair
feeling sticky and stiff which is the element that just sold it to me.
The Alya Skin ink Clay Mask - £27.99
Now if you have Snapchat you will
see that everyone has been raving about the Alya facemask. There have been
marketing campaigns being pushed out all over the internet and many people
reviewing it. And I was one of the lucky ones that was kindly gifted it. Now I usually
don’t get excited over face masks and quite frankly get impatient and bored
whilst waiting for them to dry most of the time. But this has definitely changed
my mind about them.
This pink clay mask has quite a thick consistency and so you
only need a small amount for each application, it smells gorgeous and has a
gorgeous little pale pink aesthetic to it.
It’s safe to say that these products have found a special
place in my heart, and I’m excited to explore more products from their range.
Simplicity

Simplicity. Sometimes in life, the smaller things make the biggest statements. Such as a handwritten note or simply a smile. These smaller day to day things are the ones that we tend to remember and value the most. So why should your jewellery be any different?
The smaller and more delicate the piece, the bigger the impact. Say hello to the newest edition in my jewellery collection. This gorgeous 18ct Rose Gold disk initial necklace. This piece just speaks for itself. With an elegant, simplistic and minimalist style this necklace can be found at Jewel editions for just £39. With an adjustable chain changing from 16-18 inches this is the perfect necklace for anyone and is something that I have been searching for for a long time.
Customisation is another unique feature, there's just something about simply popping your intitial on a necklace that can change it from simply being another piece to being your piece. The quality is just beautiful, with an outstanding finish and this is already a new favourite of mine.

Which jewellery type are you.. Delicate and dainty, or the bigger the better?
Until next time, Rebeca Elen.

I am back again, with another fashion post, and once again featuring Simply Be UK. I previously did a campaign with Simply Be and fell in love with their clothes and their beliefs. Having a curvy figure or in general being bigger than a size 12 can often make it hard to find perfectly fitting clothing. But with Simply Be UK aiming to create inclusive clothing for many sizes it’s become easier to find things that I love. And today I am talking dresses. Day dresses that are simple to dress up and dress down throughout the summer months.

Over the past three years my body has gone through a hell of a lot of change, from weight loss to weight gain. It's been a journey, not only physically but mentally. When your body changes, so does the way you see yourself. And when that change is drastic it's as if you have to figure out a whole new way to dress yourself. It's taken a little longer than I'd hoped but, I'm getting there. Everyday I'm discovering new reasons to love my curvy figure, from the way my hips fill out a tight fitting dress to the way that I can catch any food that falls in between my thighs (If you know, you know). But its fair to say that fashion has been a challenge.
