New Music Mondays: Made in Chelsea edition






Hello lovelies!

If any of you guys watch Made in Chelsea you will know that they always use kickass music on the show that I have stuck in my head for days. Well, this week they used I'm In Love With My Life by PHASES and I have completely fallen in love with it. This song is so catchy and I can't seem to get it out of my head as per usual, so I thought I'd share it with you all too!

You can follow PHASES on Twitter and discover their awesome new music,

What do you guys think? Do any of you watch Made in Chelsea? If so, what do you think of the Made in Chelsea: LA series so far and Gabriella's ever changing hair (I totally love it!)? Tell me in the comments!


*Review* - Nivea Visage Facial Wash Gel


Y'know how people say "Every girl has that one guy who she always goes back to"? I feel like us bloggers should update this to "Every girl has that one cleanser she always goes back to". If that was the case then the Nivea Daily Essentials Refreshing Facial Wash Gel would definitely be mine!

I originally picked this up whilst looking for a cleanser to use with my facial cleansing brush as I'd heard they work best with gel cleansers (thanks Internet!). I had also been on the hunt for a Gel Cleanser as these work well with oilier skin types, but I've found these harder to track down on the highstreet for an affordable price. I hadn't used a lot of Nivea products before, apart from their trusty moisturizing cream and the odd sunscreen lotion, but I seen this on offer in Tesco for £2 and thought I'd give it a try. 

First of all, this stuff smells amazing. All Nivea products have that suncream smell, which I love. Who wouldn't want to be reminded of sunbathing by the pool on holiday with Pina Colada in hand?

As someone with oily skin which can be sensitive on occasion, I always tend to look for products that are gentle and won't break me out. This is a really reliable product for me as I know it won't irritate my skin and I find that it can soothe my skin if I do have any spots, without drying my skin out. On it's own, this product works really well and leaves my skin feeling squeaky clean. If I ever want a deeper cleanse of my skin, I use this with my facial cleansing brush and it works just as well, if not better. 

The fact that it is a brand stocked in almost every high street drugstore or supermarket makes it accessible for all. It is also one of those products that is normally on offer or part of a multi-buy which is an added bonus as we all love a bargain!

Overall, I am a big fan of the Nivea Facial Wash Gel (as you can tell by the 4 bottles I have gone through already) and will continue to repurchase. If you are looking for a gentle cleanser that smells amazing and doesn't cause irritation, this is the one for you! 

Have you ever tried the Nivea Facial Wash Gel? What are your thoughts? Do you recommend any other Nivea products? Let me know in the comments!

Love,

Guess who's back..

Well, after much thought and 5 whole years (eek, I feel old) I have relaunched my blog and I am so excited about it! In the words of Gabriella and Troy, this could be the start of something new! Blogging is something that I have always had an interest in and I follow many blogs religiously but I've always wanted one of my own, a wee corner of the internet that belongs to me (or Blogger, for now) and now I have it.

Technically this blog has been around since 2010 but my 17 year old self had a lot of living to do and blogging kind of took a back seat. But, here I am, 5 years later, with much more wisdom and a whole lot more free time!

So, without further adieu, welcome to Lust for Life, a blog which direction I'm not quite sure of yet (much like my life!) but, isn't that the fun part? Stay tuned for more posts!

Til next time,
