Holy Grail: Garnier Caffeine Eye Roll-on

Whenever I watch a Youtuber's evening skincare routine, I often see them use some sort of eye roll on device. As relaxing as they look, they tend to be in the £20 price bracket and therefore off limits. It's not that I don't buy the occasional luxury skincare product, it's just that if I do it's more likely to be a moistriser or cleanser - I thought these were a little gimmicky.

However, in Covent Garden last week I nipped into Boots and saw this product from Garnier on sale for £5.50! Not only could I not resist, but it has also instantly become a staple in my morning/second breakfast/just got in from uni/procrastinating/should really go to bed now/f*ck it's 3am routine. I can't stop using it, it's so addictive and soothing - especially under my brow bones, hot from the oven cold from the fridge! I'm also not sure if it's the placebo effect, but I really believe it tackles my puffy morning eyes.

The amazing thing is that even at its full retail price of £10, it's still one of the cheapest on the market - Jackpot!

I'm going to apocalypse-style stock up whilst they're on offer. I'm even sending a box to my mum in Manchester and friend in Greece - I feel like Oprah, "YOU GET ONE! AND YOU GET ONE! CAMERA MAN, YOU GET ONE TOO!" 

Pick one up this week, keep it in the fridge, reach for it while you're getting the milk for your morning coffee and thank me later. If you're counting down the days until your next student finance and broke as a joke, two spoons in the fridge work like magic too!

Have you ever used an eye roll-on? If so, which brand do you swear by?

Brew Break #17 Missguided Monday Wishlist

I was window screen shopping over the weekend on Missguided and realised that they've got some incredible statement pieces in at the moment. The flashing '10% Student Discount' is making these items increasingly hard to resist!

Here's some of the pieces that are in my fantasy wardrobe

(alongside a sea of  Miu Miu heels)...

I LOVE this stripy burgundy jumpsuit! I'm really digging the oxblood/plum/Marsala/aubergine/Bordeaux shades at the moment.

 

Say what you want about Kim K, but I'm really feelin her look here... can I live? (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) Here's an identical skirt and crop top combo.

How beautiful are these heels that Company Instagrammed at

Missguided's SS15 press day? They also have a chic black pair already online!

Speaking Writing of shoes, these are the closest I will come to a pair of Stuart Weitzman highland boots any time soon.

Can we just take a moment to fawn at these beauties?

So far, I've only met one person as nuts about the Spice Girls as me... Gemma Cairney! Not only was it her chosen subject on Mastermind a couple weeks ago, but she also played them during her set at a networking event I went to last year at Southbank Centre, called 'We Are Not A Feminist Tribe'. What a night!

This tee is for every 'I'm the biggest fan' out there... (Viva Forever!)

This suede olive dress is possibly my favourite from the whole bunch, as I love its originality - also, suede is going to be huge in the next few months. Any time I say "... is going to be huge", I feel like Joey's agent, Estelle!

What are you lusting for at the moment?

Brew Break #16 This Sh*t Is Bananas!

White Rabbit White Rabbit White Rabbit,

Before you call me batsh*t crazy, (hands down the best insult I've ever heard), I know it's February and I'm writing a post about bikinis. The thing is, I actually tend to buy the bulk of my summer clothes in the winter as they're ridiculously cheap. I bought this bunch last week on ASOS, all for under £25! As they're cheap as chips, they're selling fast and sizes vary, so it's unlikely that you'll find a matching pair... but that's where the fun begins. I love wearing bikinis with mix and match top and bottoms.

Trust me,

now is the time to stock up on kooky bikinis at a third of the price! 

I found three bikini bottoms, each with wacky prints: hot air balloons, kiwis and bananas. I also bought one bandeau bikini top covered with pineapples.

I found this black cut out swimsuit too, which I wouldn't usually gravitate towards, but I love it! 

The tricks I have up my sleeve aren't just for the ladies, the men's sale range is also just as incredible. If you click on men - swimwear - price lowest to highest, the cheapest pair is £12. HOWEVER, if you just type into ASOS' search engine 'swimming shorts' and then click lowest to highest, it's as if you unlock a vault of all their sale shorts. The prices and quality are incredible - they're selling £40 French Connection pairs for under £10!!! (There's a reason my friends call me Sherlock... because I have too much spare time on my hands haha)

They have the grooviest pairs from £4! How cool are the mermaid ones?!

I found this funky pair for my brother, who's jetting off to Italy soon.

(Can I come too Billy?!)

Word of warning: By all means go nuts and buy loads of bikinis, but maybe leave the 'trying on' for summer itself. In the words of Ross Geller,

I'm still carrying a little holiday weight!

Ooo, a quarter!
