Patterned Trousers

I've promised myself I will get out of wearing jeans every day. So I decided to look for different alternatives. Then I stumbled across these jersey tapered trousers in TopShop.

I love the way they fit. They have elastic cuffs at the bottom, as well as an elastic waist so they are really comfortable. I have been wearing them with black t-shirts/ cami tops and my Converse which I spoke about in a previous post. I haven't worn anything like this before, but so far I love the style.

Topshop - £28

As you can see the monochrome pattern at the sides of the trousers is different to the pattern at the front (and back). I'm on the look out for some more patterned trousers as well as some plain coloured comfortable trousers for the spring and the upcoming summer. 

I hope you liked this post!

The Clarisonic Mia 2

Hello! I am super excited to be sharing my new Clarisonic Mia 2 with you! As you may or may not know, I have been dealing with oily skin and blemishes. So when I discovered this, I was adamant I needed it in my life.

The Clarisonic is said to "leave skin softer, smoother, and more radiant looking each day." It can be used on all skin types, even sensitive skin. It will also remove makeup far better than you would with manual cleansing.

What you do is put a bit of cleanser either onto your face or onto the Clarisonic. You then turn the Clarisonic on and move it in circular motions first on your forehead for 20 seconds, then your nose and chin for 20 seconds, and finally 10 seconds on each cheek. So it only takes 60 seconds in total! The Clarisonic bleeps when it is time to move onto the next section of your face, which is helpful. 

Retails for £125 at John Lewis

The size of the Clarisonic is perfect because it is very comfortable to hold in the hand.

It is also great to travel with as it isn't too heavy and also comes with a compact travel case.

It also came with a 'Clarisonic Refreshing Gel Cleanser', which I haven't tried yet.

When I bought my Clarisonic I also got some Lancôme free gifts which was really exciting because I have never tried anything from Lancôme before! I got the 'Gel ÉCLAT Clarifying Cleanser Pearly Foam' and a sample size of the 'VISIONNAIRE Advanced Skin Corrector' (which I plan on giving to my Mum because it is for older women). 

After using the Clarisonic Mia 2 my face felt incredibly clean! Before I changed my whole skin care routine I was exfoliating every day (that's a no no for those with oily skin by the way). I then started to use a gel cleanser, and my face would feel clean, but I always felt like I wanted to give it a bit of a scrub! The Clarisonic does this beautifully. You can choose to just let the Clarisonic move over your face by it's self, or you can add more pressure in areas you may need it. The brush is really soft, so you wouldn't feel like you're damaging your skin either.

Another thing which is makes the Clarisonic really easy to use is the fact you can use it in the shower or the bath and no matter how wet it gets it doesn't matter, because it's waterproof. It has a magnetic charger which is really cool, I haven't seen anything like it before.

The lady in the shop told me to wait a maximum of 4 weeks and by then I should notice a difference. I am really excited to see some results. So fingers crossed!!

Have any of you tried the Clarisonic? Please let me know how you find it in the comments!

Thanks for reading!
