Muller Corner de Luxe Yogurt - Creme Praline (Review)



So, I was in Tesco shopping for food and came across this new luxury versions of Muller Corner yogurts. They come in four different flavours; After Dinner Mint, Coconut Dream, Marc de Champagne and Creme Praline.  I don't really eat or particularly like the other three flavours so I only picked one which, looks like I will enjoy the best. CREME PRALINE.

THE PACKAGING. I have to say that the packaging does scream luxury all over it. Black, brown and GOLD. Oh yeah~ Muller definitely chose the perfect combination of colours on this one. I love the packaging! It's definitely something that would catch my eyes and take interest to look at.


They are sold in packs of two for £1.69 each. I bought mine buy one get one free! Yes. Bargain~

NOW LET'S OPEN IT!


It is served as usual like all the other Muller corners. Separated with two sides. Praline flavoured yogurt on the larger side and chocolate coated crispy balls on the other.



When it comes to the way of eating Muller Corner I am always the "Tippist" [click here for reference]. I like it quick and simple - just dive in to devour it. Why would I like to play around with my food? Haha. It's a different story when I'm the one serving it though. I like to design/garnish foods that I cook/make.


Now if you mix the yogurt, scooping around from underneath the dark chocolate layer will appear! This makes it even more enticing to eat!

THE TASTE. The Praline Yogurt tastes like yogurt with a hint of praline, there was the nuttiness and sweetness together with the sour taste of yogurt that tastes so good. It has a smooth texture that melts in your mouth when you eat it. Lovely. The chocolate coated crispy balls add a whole different texture and sensation to your eating experience. As for the added dark chocolate. If you mix them all together, it just takes it to a whole new level. It was smooth, it was velvety, it was chocolatey, it was crispy. It was delicious. I think the luxurious part of the flavour is the distinct taste of praline mixed with the dark chocolate. Definitely my new favourite yogurt flavour!

IT'S "MULLERLICIOUS" INDEED!

Maybelline BABY LIPS Lip Balm

So I was window shopping yesterday and passed by the Boots store to check out some offers on cosmetics and I saw the Maybelline range on 3 for 2 (Buy 3 for the price of 2). I came across these Baby Lips Lip Balm range which, apparently is new here in the UK. I don't really wear lipstick that much because my lips are always dry and it makes it even more dry! So tinted lip balms are good for me! I thought I would give them a try so bought 2 colours, Cherry Me (015) and Pink Punch (025), I also bought a nail polish which, I will review next time.



(Sorry I got so excited to try them on I opened Pink Punch before I even got home!)

Having to put Pink Punch on straight away, the tint is a subtle pink on my lips. It has a sweet smell but doesn't taste like anything. The lip balm made my lips softer after applying on my lips, which I really like! AND! It did last for hours! My lips were so soft and hydrated until the evening.




THE VERDICT: I love them! For £2.99 each you get a lip balm and lipstick in one. This is good for people with dry lips most of the time like me and would like to add some visible colour/tint on your lips. I would definitely buy another two in Quenched (005) and Peach Kiss (030).

Daily Facial Regime


Hello! Welcome to my blog! For my very first post I would like to introduce to you my Daily Facial Regime. What better way to start your style and beauty blog than talking about your daily essentials!
I used to use Liz Earle’s Cleanse & Polish (Hot Cloth Cleanser), Instant Boost (Skin Tonic) and Skin Repair Moisturiser (Dry/Sensitive) which, worked very well for my skin but sadly it is a little pricey so I had to find a cheaper that works just the same for my skin. So now, I use the Boots Botanics range to clean my face every morning and night. The Boots Botanics come in many ranges such as Organic, Radiant Youth and All Bright. 
I particularly use the ‘All Bright’ range for my face but you can mix and match it with other ranges to work with your needs or preferences. As you can see I have an Organic and Radiant Youth product too. The reason why I love using this Boots range is that it leaves my skin feeling fresh, clean and soft afterwards. It smells nice too!

The ALL BRIGHT Cleansing Foam Wash. This is normally my first step at night when I clear all the make up I use in the day. The foam wash itself already smells good and it’s also not too foamy which, I like. It doesn’t take of the make up as much but it melts it so it makes it easier for the next step to take it off. After cleansing, my skin feels fresh and clean although if you were wearing mascara and eyeliner it looks like a fresh panda face! Haha! This does dry the face a little bit after patting dry if you leave it for a few minutes so I suggest to go to the next step straight away or put your face cream after drying your face.

The ALL BRIGHT Gentle Cleansing Cream. This is the second step at night and first step in the morning. I apply this using a round cotton wool, just squeeze a little bit (or depending on how much make up you were wearing to take off) on it and wipe around your face. The cream takes off the make up and excess dirt that the foam wash wasn’t able to wash off. After applying the cream my face becomes visibly clean and soft! And it smells good too!

The ALL BRIGHT Cleansing Toner. The third step at night and second step in the morning. This is also applied with a round cotton wool. If you thought that after the cleansing cream your face is completely clean then you’re wrong. The toner wipes off the cream and takes away the impurities in your skin. This also serves to freshen my skin.

The RADIANT YOUTH Protecting Day Cream. This is always the last and final step on my daily regime. After applying the cream on my face, it is so soft and smooth. I normally have dry and sensitive face and this keeps my skin. This keeps my face moisturised all day and I also use it as a primer before I apply make up on, it doesn’t make my foundation or concealer flaky at all. This also smells lovely.

The ORGANIC Rosewater Toning Spritz. I only use this to freshen up my skin during the day. I spray it on my face to hydrate and also cool it in the summer.

The ALL BRIGHT Purifying Face Scrub. I only use this once a week. It removes all the built up impurities and unclogs my pores. 
I have been using this range for more than five years and never really looked back. It doesn’t necessarily make my face lighter but it makes it look a lot brighter and healthier. Especially as I don’t normally get a full 8 hour sleep and always busy stressed out, this helps a whole lot to keep my face clear and blemish free.

Especially as I don’t normally get a full 8 hour sleep and always busy stressed out, this helps a whole lot to keep my face clear and blemish free. Some people comment on how strong the scent of the products are but for me it's okay. I find all of them smell lovely and fresh although some may smell stronger than the others like the Radiant Youth Protecting Day Cream, but I don't really mind it. If it works well why change it? Right?

By the way the Boots Botanics Range is available to buy at Boots Stores all over UK and also online. I believe this also available in the USA now.
