LBD We Go Together

Hey Everyone!

I hope you're all having a nice weekend. 

I have been chained to my laptop working on a big presentation I have coming up, but that doesn't mean I have to be inside all miserable. I've set up camp in my garden, popped a bit of Tove Lo Habits on and grabbed some drinks from the fridge and I'm taking a break to work on my blog for a bit. 

Today's post is going to be talking about a new drink from Asda, LBD, aimed at fashion conscious, savvy, girls about town. Just up my street if I do say so myself. It's a fruity refreshing drink with a low alcohol percentage so it's nice and light to have on a nice summer afternoon with friends. 

The drinks come in three different dual flavours, peach & raspberry*, apple & cranberry* and lime & watermelon*, all under 100 calories per can. 

Today's post will focus specifically on the premixed cans (2 for £3 in Asda), however there is also the option to buy the vodka based spirits in 50 cl bottles for £9.48 each (price on their website at the time this was written) and mix with lemonade yourself. 

After trying one can of each flavour, not consecutively after the other may I hasten to add, my standout flavour had to be the peach & raspberry due to it's gorgeously light sweet taste. 

What I liked about all three is that quite simply they are delicious, not like the sharp alcohol tastes you sometimes get with these kinds of drinks. They are very pleasant and I could easily have a few at a picnic one afternoon or at a barbecue for example. They are fine to drink chilled straight from the can or you can go all instagram and crush some ice and put them in mason jars with a stripey straw and decorate with a few fruit slices. 

I really liked LBD and think they would be perfect for your girly get togethers this summer. If you want to check them out head in to your local Asda or online to see further information.

Thanks for reading, I'm now back to this LONG presentation.

Imperial Leather Skinkind Bodywash Review

Hey Everyone!

Happy Friday, this week has been eventful to say the least with a new blog design and lot's of projects in the pipeline.

Today I have a beauty/skincare review for you in the form of Imperial Leather Skin kind Bodywashes*. I was kindly sent these products to try out from their new re-launched range and I can't wait to share with you what I think!

So a little about the range, it's been made to give you the perfect level of care in a bodywash based on your skin type. So it's similar to how you would choose your moisturiser, you select a specific bodywash based on whether you have sensitive skin or dry and sensitive skin. I personally flit between the two types so I have given both a good try. 

The bottles (500ml) retail for £2.69 each and are available in all major retailers, so Boots/Superdrug etc should have it and might even have deals on as they often do.

First up is SkinKind Enriching Bodywash* for sensitive and dry skin. 

This bottle is all about moisturising and re-hydrating your skin but without being too heavy or harsh on your skin. It has hundreds of little Jojoba oil beads that burst to nourish the skin and the body wash has a gorgeous raspberry and lime blossom fragrance. 

I absolutely love the smell for a start, i'm a big fan of anything fruity or sweet so it was right up my street. After using it in the shower I can report that I had no redness or irritation and my legs in particular felt noticeably softer. 

Next up is SkinKind Refreshing Bodywash* for sensitive skin. 

This bottle is all about replenishing your skin and moisturising it for a refreshed feeling. It contains cucumber and aloe vera which are both very soothing and perfect for sensitive skin. 

I thought the scent was pleasant, very green, and not at all overwhelming. The body wash lathered up nicely and left me feeling nice and squeaky clean. I also had no irritation or redness with this bottle so definitely a success!

Overall I really liked these products, I think Enriching just clinched it over Refreshing though on the scent but both are great products and do as they promise. 

I hope you liked the review, it's been a little while since we have looked at beauty or skincare but definitely something I want to do more of.

Let me know your thoughts below, thanks for reading. Love Sally X
