NYX Soft Matte Lip creams

Since Boots are now stocking NYX products and I have a Boots store literally 2 minutes away from my office I normally spend half an hour of a morning and then my lunch break having a wonder round all of the products!

I've never used NYX products before so I thought I would start of with using a few of there lip products. I was torn as to whether I should buy their lip pencils, their glosses, the lipsticks or their soft matte lip creams. I had a look at all four different types and I was drawn more towards the lip creams.

I bought two colours;

 a nude colour (SMLC16 CIARO)

and a redish/brown colour (SML32 ROME)

The first thing I noticed when I opened the nude colour was the smell...it was just divine and made me want to eat it! The smell is very sweet and kind of smells like a cake, so I was instantly won over.

Applicator wise, for me it's a good size, I can't stand it when the applicators are too big and you end up with lipstick on your chin! The application is also very good, it goes on well and doesn't need alot of product as a little goes a long way but it is totally buildable depending on how much product you want on your lips. It is also very moisturising and doesn't dry your lips out.

I wouldn't say it's a thick consistency but it's not runny either overall to me, it's a very good product.

The ONLY downside is they are quite pricey so for an 8ml tube it's £5.50 but for the quality I am more than happy to pay the price.

I think they next product I want to try is the Buttercream Glosses because if these products are super-soft and creamy, I can't wait to see what those are like.

What's your favourite NYX product? or if you've never tried NYX what's your favourite lip products? Let me know in the comments :)

Fitbit Charge HR | Review

I've had my Fitbit Charge HR for over 6 months and it's a gadget that I won't workout without.

I got this from Argos at a price of £99.99, they come in 3 different sizes (Small, Medium & Large) and a few different colours (black, purple and red). I got size small as my wrists are tiny!

You wear it just like a watch and it has an an adjustable strap.

I was a bit sceptical about buying this at first as it was a lot of money and I wasn't entirely sure what it could do. 

The Fitbit monitors how many steps you take, how many calories you have burned, your heart rate, how far you've walked, and how many flights of steps you have climbed. Now I thought that was pretty impressive but it does more!!!

It tracks your exercise too. for example the picture shows you the exercise I completed, tells you how many calories and what percentage of fat you have burnt.

For me, this is also a good motivator to get off my arse and do more, as I work in an office and i am sat down for 8 hours a day, it's a good incentive when you've seen you've only done 2000 steps to try and go for a walk at lunch or when going to loo trying to walk the long way round to it. You can change your daily step goal so mine is set to 10,000 but you can make it higher or lower.

This amazing gizmo also tracks your sleep. It tracks how long you slept for, if you was restless, how long you was restless/awake for and is really good for people who have trouble sleeping and maybe want to see how much they are actually getting a night.

I could literally talk about this for ages , but I think I've waffled on long enough!

If you are looking for a good tracking band for exercise and/or sleep I highly recommend the Fitbit Charge HR, it's pricey but you defiantly get what you pay for.

what's your favourite tracking bands or do you use something else? Let me know in the comments :)
