Your Tea review.. what is the hype all about?

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Hello bloggers!


I am not one too ramble when it comes too reviews as I know you're reading too probably get a straightforward, honest review before you buy this product. I am just claiming obviously that my opinions are 100% honest and I know that anyone can just say that, however when you read the end of this article - I think you'll find I am fair with everything I say.. enjoy! 

What is it & how will it benefit me?
Now I am going too link you too their website because basically the tea is defined for one main thing which is cleansing of the digestive system therefore, you can read all the official 'about' information here so you know I am not lying hehe :) 

http://www.yourtea.com/

How has it benefited you Sophie and what made you buy the tea?
As a blogger I am updated constantly with the latest trends involving beauty, lifestyle, fitness and so on... therefore I have actually heard of the tea for quite some time but if you're anything like me - I always review the product before I buy it and that is just not from one blogger. 

The first thing I thought was 'Oh my can it live up too its expectations?' It's not overly expensive too be fair but I didn't want too waste my money If i was getting it shipped. 
below is a picture of my face very recent around 5 days ago after eating clean & drinking 'your tea'.. as you can see yes I am wearing make-up, but my skin has never felt better and smoother than the last two weeks.. and it's becoming winter! 




The biggest mistake you can make before buying the tea if you're considering it?...
Be careful of instagram accounts and other bloggers. Some of the teas are either one week/two week or month detox progress. However I am not stating that they're lying.. I am simply just saying you cannot believe those photos just because they said it. I must admit if it's the truth - god bless them they look fantastic! Yet I am sure anyone who's been blagged before and false advertised like myself knows too be careful and wary of people promotion 'your tea' i.e. half the photos you see could be genuine progress. However some could be an 'empty/breathing in stomach in the morning' as an after shot and the before shot could be a picture of them breathing out and maybe 2lbs heavier? Just try and look at it that way - I in no way mean too be nasty or rude please I am not like that :-), I am just trying too tell any new users too be aware of this because some people sadly ruin it for the others. 

I understand that if you see more than good than bad reviews it's likely too appeal too you that way - but moral of that section^: do your own research too save disappointment.
below are some examples of 'yourtea' users:
(I just found these on Google images the first few if you want too find them):







You possibly may have seen a girl or a guy because men can buy it too - that have amazing before and after pictures. This tea will not make you lose weight on it's own - I repeat, this tea will not work magic for you ... on it's own. 

I benefited from the tea because I went through a stage where I completely binged for like a whole week. My water intake was horrendous, I wasn't eating vegetables.. I was eating junk all week I had no idea what came over me. My stomach was what you call 'a swamp' It looked as if I was carrying a baby no word of a lie! So I did a lot of research on the tea and decided too incorporate it into my lifestyle.

From this the tea is very filling and I also drink a lot of green tea anyway so the two combined was ideal for me anyway. I started too get back too running, I cut out processed junk and drank at least 2ltr water a day. By the third day is when usually you start too notice small changes. My stomach felt so much lighter. I felt more energized because obviously water is the majority of your body and I also had better skin. If you also struggle with lactose intolerant - 'yourtea' can help with bloating which is something I struggle with. 

I cut down from 3 sachets too 2 a day now because I eat a lot of super foods i.e. berries, kale, spinach etc so I don't feel like I need that digestive lift anymore. However I do feel like 'yourtea' will have a huge sales increase before or mainly after Christmas because that is the time that you're going too splurge - you have too! Yes your digestive system will go through hell & back and it will show, so treat your body the right way! 

Adding to that, their are so many upcoming tea's now trying too compete with 'yourtea' but I would recommend this one as beware of 'skinny tea' ... this has laxatives in I believe and you will lose weight but the extremely un-healthy way where you will just be on the loo and everything else that comes with that! 

I hope you enjoyed my review and grabbed my specific of the tea.. Very good for the digestive system yet you want maximum results? You don't need the tea too lose weight - just eat clean and move more and drink plenty! However, Involve that tea with that healthier lifestyle and I can promise you now.. you will see results. It's not magic - it's fact :)

My October Makeup Haul!



Hi Everyone! I hope you have had  a super scary and exciting Halloween! I went too Liverpool for Halloween with my friends and stayed in a gorgeous 5* hotel and we partied the night away.. it was amazing! On our way home we went too Cheshire Oaks near Liverpool, UK & we got a little carried away whilst shopping! Here are the beauty products I have brought, tested and now I would like too share my opinion with you... 

Double Wear

I have had this foundation for around 2-3 weeks actually. The bottle is without a pump and as soon as you unscrew the top - it's literally all open so I have been using an ear bud too use the foundation. I dip the ear bud in there (clean obviously haha) and then dab on the areas on my face. I use a beauty blender as I do not like applying makeup with brushes unless it's eye shadow. This is because I feel like the foundation blends more and not as much gets wasted and lost within the bristles of a brush. 

The foundation is thick and I have noticed that the coverage yes... it's 100% amazing coverage and It DOES last a good 8 hours. I have struggled for so long too find a foundation like this and it did cost me £29.50 but I know Estee Lauder is a company I would trust with my money so it's definitely worth while with what it promises. 

Adding too that however.. I have blended one application of the foundation, thinking I could then add some more maybe too my freckles when I am going out - the foundation seems very hard too blend then. I have noticed my makeup then gets that dirty/muddy look as soon as I apply another layer. It also doesn't matter what I have done too prime my skin either. This is leading onto why I have brought the other products.

 Double Wear Concealer (stay in place)

I am quite frankly struggling with bags already and I am 18! I work nights, have either too much sleep or too much, I haven't invested in any eye creams or potions because I didn't think I'd need too. However yes in the morning, I have noticed I have been getting bags and just an un-youthful look around my eyes and I realized maybe now it's time too take care of them and in the meantime.. disguise them! 


When I went too get a match for the foundation - the lady also recommended me this which I absolutely fell in love with. You can apply this after or before the foundation. However the concealer is very thick and I think since the foundation is thick to apply, I would apply this first and I apply it using my fingers. I would recommend dabbing the product in your desired areas. Mine would be my eyes and around my chin. This concealer is RRP £21.50 however I grabbed a bargain on my shopping trip at just £15.50 and the light shade to medium.

Smashbox Photo Finish primer.

Okay.. I think we all know no matter what foundation you are wearing - a primer makes all the difference. I have tried MAC, Maybelline, L'Oreal, NYC and many other primers. I know it's so easy too stick too what you know however their are so many amazing beauty products appearing - and they definitely just need too be given a go! 

I hold my hands up when I brought the foundation - I didn't wear a primer and I didn't even buy one on the day (only because I was limited with money) so I was obviously so excited when I brought a primer. Smash box is a company I would always swear by. Simply because I think we all put faith into companies who make-up artists use who we really like! I have never tried this one before however I have tried the oil-free primer and the photo finish light primer. Both of the products were - OK - however I didn't like the feel either of them had on my skin. That silky feeling for a primer has never grown on me when I can't see any product - If that makes sense? I would prefer a dewy finish as in my skin feels rich and plump.. everyone is too their own I guess. Although I must say I am not here too slate the company whatsoever I just didn't want anyone too think I was writing a false review as in I was getting paid too do this - just too clarify I am not.. I just want too become a successful beauty blogger one day. 

This primer is exactly the feel I don't necessarily like - it's very silky and smooth on the skin. I must give it brownie points though. The Estee Lauder foundation lasts amazing without primer anyway.. HOW GOOD IS THAT?! YET OH MY GOODNESS.. the primer with this AND the concealer - I think I'm onto a winner with the flawless finish look. 

Finally I would like too add - I wouldn't recommend the foundation every day simply because it's so thick It has made an impact on my skin, I had a major breakout on my chin and I think I need a more concentrated make-up cleanser when removing the product because I do know how important It is too remove make-up before bed but it's obviously just very heavy on my skin.

That is the only lesson I have took from this which is great to be honest, it's not a bad lesson because I have learnt something from my own personal experience: to invest in a good concealer and too wear a foundation that initially lets the skin breathe i.e. Hello Flawless by Benefit.

I am considering buying that and reviewing the product for you all too see i.e. comparing pictures with both foundations.

Overview

The Estee Lauder is fantastic for nights out, heavy work days and beach days as it does have SPF 10 which is great however obviously be careful with the photographs because we all know SPF plays havoc with making us look like ghosts in our photos! 

I hope you enjoyed my small but invested make-up haul and that you have took something from my experience..maybe you agree or disagree? Please feel free too leave a comment below or any business enquiries email me at: wynnemariasophie@gmail.com

At the moment I am not being sponsored or getting paid too advertise these products. I also am giving my 100% truthful opinion and I wouldn't ever false advertise a product.

VICHY Idealia life serum & eyes review.

Hello everyone thank you for coming over too my blog today! Today I will be writing a review on VICHY Idealia products that I was sent in the post.



Okay first off... what is VICHY?
You're probably wondering who they are, what they do.. or you may not need to know as you already do! Vichy is an expert skin labatory who are spa based water, suitable for sensitive skin and their products hide no nasty Parabens.

BELOW IS PICTURES BEFORE AND AFTER:




Idealia life serum helps protect the appearance of skin and also to transform it. The skin is attacked every day by things we probably do not even realise.

Stress & late nights: a lust for partying then attending work the next day will definitely take toll in the feel of your skin and a greater-youthless appearance.

UV RAYS: premature skin aging is caused by exposure to UV rays causing wrinkles, dark spots and loss of firmness. Trust me, those sunbeds and excessive hours in the sun unprotected will catch up on you sooner than later!!

Environment: pollution & exposure to harsh & erratic seasonal weather changes will definitely make the skin feel dull, worn down and possibly puffy looking.

First of all - life serum tested:
complexion looks radiant? Definitely so. Not too mention the smell is PHENOMINAL! The serum didn't feel oily on my skin more like silk, it was very easy to blend and really did make my skin feel like a peach. I have sensitive skin and redness on the cheeks and the serum definitely was a sootheing factor covering the appearance of blemishes and dullness. It felt more like an illuminator or my Garnier BB cream because of the texture yet also, the serum actually is a light foundation colour.

Skin tone appears more even? I would have to give that a yes indeed. I think with the serum I just felt like I had a lot more to do with my male up because it did feel like a primer and my makeup did go on better to be honest however at the age of 18... my skin tone is pretty much okay though!

Pores look refined: I would also have to give that a yes because the only places I get any outbreak is around my nose or my chin and my pores definitely did look refined, it probably did help that beforehand I steamed my face as I am all bunged up so my pores were thoroughly cleaned beforehand 😊

Skin feels smoother: Most definitely I was absolutely amazed. I have oily/combination skin and therefore I am a person to stray from moisturising products etc. Yet this serum just felt like a gods send. My skin was so soft, smelt out of this world and it also helped with my very late night and lack of sleep coverage!!!

Second of all: Idealia eyes:

Reduces the look of fine lines/ leaves eye contour feeling softer, hydrated & more supple: even though I am 18, I do obviously have sleepless nights and stress on my plate so my eyes tend too look very puffy every morning unless I get a good night's sleep. The serum for the eyes more a less made my eyes feel more hydrated, not as tight around the outer eye socket and they made my eyes feel as if I had been sat with cucumber slices over them!

Please note: I would never fake a good review on my blog because It is linked too my primary tumblr with a tonne of great followers and I wouldn't want too risk losing their trust or getting a bad name for myself as a blogger. All my answers are from personal experience with the products and please everyone must remember that different people react differently to the same products because usually they have a different skin type.

Thank you so much for reading again, I am honestly over the moon that I have found a serum that is Clinically proven efficacy. Please check out VICHY guys on Twitter, Facebook and their website today:
