Over the past year or so, I feel like workout wear has become such a fashion statement with many people taking pride in their workout looks.

The days where people threw on any old clothes to work out in are going fast and many brands are taking note of this.

Nike of course are one of the main workout brands that gym goers are sporting and they are leading the way when it comes to functional yet fierce workout wear.

 

You guys know how obsessed I am with online shopping and I'm all for anything that can make the process easier, especially when it comes to shipping costs.

That's where Us_GoBuy comes in!

 

They offer lots of services from offering a free US address so that you can order from the US Nike website, handling your packaging free of charge and, if the Nike doesn't accept your type of credit card, Us.Go.Buy will pay the fee for you and you can simply pay them back through your preferred payment option.

They really do everything to ensure that you have the best shopping experience.

 

Here are some of my favourite Nike pieces that you can get through the UsGoBuy website!

I have literally become obsessed with contouring this year and have to do it every day that I wear make up without fail. 

I just don't feel right if I don't and I love to do the whole Kim K routine as that's just what works for me. 

It seems like every drugstore brand has leaped on this trend and brought out their version of the best contouring product to achieve those chiseled cheekbones with Sleek having one of the first and best in my opinion. 

Eager to try even more contouring products, I picked up the new contour release from Maybelline who are a little late on the bandwagon!

Read on to hear what I thought of it!

What They Say

This is the first 2-in-1 contouring release from Maybelline and is all you need for a sculpted look. 

With a highlighter and contour powder in 2 expertly coordinated shades, this product makes the art of contouring so much easier. 

What I Say

I love the packaging of this product, not only does it comes with the 2 powders but it also has a built in mirror and little brush so it's perfect for on the go application and touch ups. 

The contour is a cool toned bronzer colour and doesn't look muddy at all and the highlight is not too shimmery but a little powdery. 

I applied the contour with my contour brush from Blank Canvas and loved the result, it's very well pigmented so I like to add a little bit at a time. 

The highlight was applied to the high points of my face and it is very subtle, great for those that like the natural look but I prefer something a bit more pigmented. 

The contour powder is amazing though, great for creating the perfect contour shadow and it's great value for the price. 

Check it out guys!

What They Say

These balms offer a buildable colour, giving you complete control over your make up look. 

The lightweight formula lets you bring the colour from a subtle sheen to a full and vibrant finish. 

What I Say

I love the idea of these balms, let's face it normal lip balms can get quite boring and standard so a fun colour can be a real pick me up. 

There is a great shade range here, 9 colours in total, and I feel like they're all wearable shades and run from dark vampy browns to fresh and summery corals and pinks.

They smell divine, so sweet and perfect for Summer, and the packaging is pretty also in my opinion. 

They feel lovely on the lips, balmy and nourishing without feeling sticky or greasy at all. 

These are great for days where you want to look natural but still want a little something on your lips to look put together. 

Some of the shades do look similar on the lips but there are subtle differences so there definitely worth looking at. 

Check them out guys!

These balms are available from Boots and Superdrug for €11.50 each.

*PR Sample

I am a huge lip product fan and love changing it up between shades and finishes, they're probably my favourite product to play with. 

With lots of you going on holiday lately, I thought you guys might be interested in hearing my recommendations for lip products to wear in the warm weather!

I hope you like it!

1. Rimmel Apocalips - 'Apocalyptic'

My love is strong for these guys, they are basically a liquid lipstick so you're getting the pigmentation and wear of a lipstick and the hydration of a gloss.

The colour range is fabulous, from nudes to bright pinks they have you covered, and they are super pigmented so be careful to stay within your lip line. 

After a couple of hours the gloss will fade, leaving you with a beautiful stain to the lips that's not drying in the slightest.

Of them all, Apocalyptic is my favourite shade, it's a bright pink that screams Summer and makes these babies some of my favourite lip products!

2. Maybelline Color Drama Lip Pencil - 'In With Coral'. 

These beauties are Maybelline's take on the Nars lip pencils and they are a beautiful product. 

Very nicely pigmented, they have a smooth creamy texture and simply glide on the lips, giving a beautiful colour.

Even though they're a pencil, they don't feel rough on the lips and don't dry them out at all, they give a satin finish at first and dry down to a slightly more matte finish after a few hours. 

In With Coral is a beautiful slightly shocking coral shade and if you can't wear that type of shade in Summer, then when can you?!

3. Revlon ColorBurst Lacquer Balm - 'Vivacious'

These balms feel so comfortable on the lips, they're glossy and have a great amount of pigment to them, nothing shocking but enough to look like you've made an effort with your look.

They give so much hydration to the lips and last well and are easy to top up on the go, a great Summer product really. 

My favourite shade I have is 'Vivacious', a brighter pink shade that does a great job of brightening up the face and finishing off a Summer look.

Once the gloss wears off, you're left with a balmy stain to the lips that feels so comfortable, a great product. 

4. Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet - 'Pink Pong'

These beauties are a great option for those of you that prefer your bright lip to be matte and less messy. 

They glide on effortlessly, have a great pigment and dry down to a matte finish in a couple of minutes. 

There's a great shade range here and they last very well on me, a good 6 hours, before being topped up so they're a total winner in my book!

5. Maybelline Colour Elixir - 'Mandarin Rapture' 

If you suffer from dry lips or just prefer a glossy finish, then look no further than these babies. 

Offering both hydration and gloss, they have a good pigment without being sticky at all. 

Once the gloss wears off, you're left with a nice stain on the lips without drying them out at all so you guys should definitely check them out!
