Here we go again.... REVIEW Citroen C4 Picasso- Exclusive

So i have been here before...

*I do not own this vehicle, this is on a lease service for 12 months*

As you may or may not be aware, i am currently cooking baby boy number 3, and with that the car (my Seat Ibiza FR) needed to go pretty darn quick. We had a look at many different options out there, which included the Skoda Octavia, Hyundai Tucson, a Ford Mondeo Estate and this, the Citroen C4 Picasso.

I have been incredibly lucky in the past (and not so) lucky with my car choices, and had been able to have access to a brand new C4 Exclusive +. That car was seriously incredible! 

Although this time around we have the spec down, which is the Exclusive, it still packs alot of kit, and most importantly it can carry 3 children plus their carseats. Which was the main winner ultimately.

Anyway, this car like i said needed to be able to be easy to drive and get about in, take 3 children and a dog, plus a pram and bags comfortably and easily. 

The model we have is the 120 Blue HDi 120 S&S 6 speed manual, which packs a punch, and is certainly not slow. Which sadly most 'people carriers or mum vans' are. 

This specification comes with front and rear parking sensors, built in satellite navigation, touch screen and led display, key less start and stop button and 17'' Anaconda alloy wheels. Boot is very generous too, at a whopping 537 litres expanding to 630 litres with all the back seats folding down, completely flat!

*excuse the junk in the trunk*

If you wanted to upgrade to the Exclusive + , then that comes with the above plus park assist (which is amazing i have to say), panoramic roof with closing blind, key less entry, integrated air freshener, tinted windows and blinds on the rear windows too. 

Prices for the C4 Picasso start from £18,950 OTR and the Grand Picasso £20,650 OTR 

In a years time, we will have to hand this back to the dealer, and choose what car we could have next. 

Bye for now C xx

REVIEW: John Frieda Brilliant Brunette 'Visibly Brighter' In- Shower Lightening Treatment

I am never happy with my hair, and lets be honest there are not many of us ladies who are. 

I am literally itching to become a blonde again, Since this cannot be done due to a number of reasons, i thought i would give this a whirl.

I had seen the vlogger Nicole Guerriero give her personal review on this and was surprised when she had noticed the difference in her hair colour- so i thought, i want to try it too!

The product comes in a slim tube which comprises of 2 tubes put together, and once you've shampooed your hair and its completely wet you 'carefully' put the contents of this all throughout your hair. I would wisely suggest having a window open, as this smells!!

Partly my fault really, i should realise that it contains Hydrogen Peroxide.....Dingbat. 

After 5 minutes of the product working just rinse out, and condition if you wanted to. 

I would say that it has made my hair noticeably lighter which i am kind of impressed with. Worth the price. 

It does state not to use more than once a month.

Bye lovelies C xx

Hyundai i20 Coupe Review

So yesterday my Ibiza had to go back into the garage to be looked at regarding its electronics and audio.

So, therefor i had to have a loan car for a few days.

I was happily given the new Hyundai i20 Coupe!

I tell you, i was more than happy with it, - you could say, i like it alot more than my Seat.... so much so i do not want to hand this car back tomorrow night. Ooops.

Loving the rust colour too, and the accents throughout the cars interior.

My sons are extremely happy with mummy's 'new' car, and have also asked if we can keep it. The man approves to!

So will be a little sad to see this car go back, but that's life i guess...

Until next time.

Love my Mii

Hey lovelies

So last week my car had to go back into the garage to be looked at regarding the electrics.... fun, and this time round the loaned me a Seat Mii I- Tech.

I thought i would give a mini review on it!

• First impressions

I was actually very excited when they told me i had one of these for the day, so compact, yet huge inside. My sister had the Skoda Citigo, which to be honest, at the time i wasn't all that into... 

They gave me I- Tech which is priced from £10,155 otr. Paint is an option too, of which i was surprised at, as white usually is a base colour. 

• Interior 

The inside was very spacious. Considering this is a very tiny vehicle, the amount of space you have is fantastic. Even in the back, there is enough space to seat 2 tall adults (it is a 4- seater not a 5), and the head and leg room is good. 

There is an added Sat Nav which is what i have in my Ibiza, which seems to be as standard. 

Also a snug boot, but to be honest with you, having a car this small you expect a boot that size. 

All in all a very good car, i would actually happily swop with my Ibiza....

Nice work Seat!

Until next time ta xx

March Boots Haul and review (all in one)

Hey people, hope you have had a good weekend, mine has certainly been jam packed which i love!

Thought i would catch up and let you know what i recently purchased, well i say purchased ( i was sent vouchers and had amassed nearly £20 of points at Boots. Yesss!

So spent it on this lovely lot :)

What i got....

Soap & Glory....

• Sugar Crush Body Buttercream £10.50
• Sugar Crush Body Wash £6.50
• Hand Dream Super Intensive Hand Cream £7.00

L' Oreal...

• Lumi Magique Concealer in Light  £8.49
• Infallible Matte Foundation in Vanilla £6.99
• Color Riche Nails in Sequin Explosion 842

Collection...

• Lock n Hold Lipgloss in Rock Steady £2.99

Batiste...

• Dry Shampoo Original in Clean & Classic £2.99

Clean & Clear...

• Advantage Spot Treatment Gel £4.59

And the immediately the first thing i will say about this is that this new foundation i purchased, is quite simply incredible. Unlike nothing i have ever used. I made a brief review on my Instagram about this and the concealer, but seriously wow. I have combination to oily skin, and have always used time and time again the Mac Pro Longwear Foundation, and even though i have always gone to it, and re purchased it time and time again, it never 'lasted' the 15 hours it claimed. Nothing against Mac, as its probably my skin, and yes i do powder. But anyway... This L' Oreal Infallible Matte is now thee best ever, and its so cheap!! 

As this is more like a liquid to powder foundation, yes its in tube, but honestly it sets very quickly, it actually lasts all day, and that's a big deal. I am used to re applying makeup twice a day, especially if i am off to work in the evenings, and with this i do not need too. Fab. Its great coverage too, i would say medium to full coverage, and the colour shades are pretty decent too. 

Also i have had time to use and mess about with the Lumi Concealer, but am not loving it. For starters i have an issue with price. It is expensive for a concealer, and i would rather pay for Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat £25.99 or Mac Select Cover Up £15.50 over this- i would even rather use the Boots own Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light £4.19 if it was about the price itself. It is fine for highlighting, and that's about it. Also you get very little product, which i do not think would last long at all. Looks like it can cut the mustard, but sadly for me no. Sorry L' Oreal...

Another happy purchase was the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Cream and Body Wash. The scent on these is gorgeous. Limey, sweet, and almost creamy. I already have the Scrub somewhere in my massive collection of smellies. What i rate highly on all their products, is that you get generous sized products, which lasts a long time, and i use mine at least daily!! 

I chose their new hand cream too, not much to say, its a hand cream. But has the same Sugar Crush scent which is winner. One other thing i love always about Soap & Glory is just their packaging. Stands out, bold, pretty all at the same time. Well done.

These along with the make up always seem to be on a 3 for 2 promotion at Boots and at Boots.com, so i totally recommend you take up the opportunity to stock up or at least try and test out these for yourself. 

Of the other items, i chose was the L' Oreal Color Riche Nails in Sequin Explosion, has to be along with Nails Inc glitters etc.. one of the best multi- colour glitters out there. Stunning. You could wear it purely on its own which would look nice, but i think it would be too much.... i tend to add as an accent on the pinky nail alone or over a neutral polish like my current favourite shade- Essie Ballet Slippers, and do not forget your top coat. Please check out Seche Vite, it will become your go to choice. I will leave a link below on all products mentioned.

Last but not lease of course, my recurrent buys, which i don't need to explain much about are the Clean & Clear Advantage Spot Treatment and Batiste Dry Shampoo. Great products, do what they say, and are reasonably priced. Work every time too. 

Have a good Sunday evening, ta x
