Stripteas - the 14 day Happy and Healthy Teatox *

Just over two weeks ago, I was sent the 14 day - 3 step teatox from Stripteas. The teatox (tea detox just incase you don't know) is a two week course of herbal teas, which you have three times a day before meals. 

It is said to have many benefits, such as aiding weight loss by boosting your metabolism and keeping away hunger pangs, clearing up skin, helping with energy and just generally making you feel better by detoxifying your body!

When I first opened my package, I was pleasantly surprised with how cute the packaging is! The colours are nice and bright, but also go with the different times of days. The packaging also has lots of inspirational quotes which juts make you smile (haha how cheesy does that sound? But its true!) For example, the Sleep Tight Tea, has "sweet dreams" on the top and the Wakeup Tea has "to make dreams come true, first you must wake up" on the back! 

The packaging also includes simple step by step instructions (which can also be viewed online here) as well as ingredients, disclaimers and allergy advice.

One thing that I was slightly worried about when receiving the tea was the taste. I am not a big fan of herbal tea, I prefer a nice not-so-healthy hot chocolate, but I was actually quite impressed at the taste! Stripteas do three different flavours for their daytime tea; original, berry burst and vanilla. I chose to get the vanilla flavour! 

The morning tea tasted very refreshing and really did help you wake up. It had an almost lemon-y flavour which I really liked. The daytime tea was my least favourite, however it certainly wasn't bad and you definitely got used to the taste after around three days. As I said, I chose the vanilla flavour and it did taste as it should. It also had a hint of pepper, which did sometimes get a bit strong if I forgot to take the tea bag out! And the nighttime was by far my favourite! I ended up looking forward to going to bed just so that I could drink the tea! It has a minty, vanilla flavour, which doesn't sound too good, but it actually was delicious! 

Stripteas is made from all natural ingredients, and contains no laxatives! This is good as you don't end up running to the loo after drinking your tea, as with other teatoxes. On the website, they have a free diet plan to go along with the tea to really help you get the very best results. (click here)

I didn't really follow their eating plan, however I did try to eat healthier than usual, and had smaller portions (this was mainly due to the fact that I just wasn't hungry!). I was very impressed with the results! I did loose weight which is what almost everyone wants, right? I also did find that I had a lot more energy and it certainly did suppress my appetite!! 

I really cannot recommend this tea more! Not only does it taste really nice, but the results are definitely worth it! The teas are available to buy separately, or you can but the 14 day, three step teatox for only £27.99. Worth it or what? :)

Also, Stripteas were kind enough to give my readers a 10% discount code to use on any of their teas. Simply enter JULIETTE10 into the promo box at the checkout! That means that the 14 day teatox will be yours for only £25.19!

OOTD - featuring Boohoo Izzy Velvet Boots *

Hello! How are you all doing? 

Recently, I received the 'Izzy' boot from Boohoo! They are a bright red, velvet chelsea boot and look amazing with an all black outfit. Here's how I wore them!

What I'm Wearing :

Joni Jeans - £36 - Topshop

Sheer Jumper - £19.99 - Missguided

Handmade Velvet Triangle Bra - £7 - @emmmma on Depop 

Izzy Boots - £17 - Boohoo *

As usual, click the item of clothing to buy!

These boots are so comfy, and with them being velvet, they are really warm and cosy, which is perfect for the autumn weather. Although the other material is velvet, they are lined with a thin faux leather which means your feet won't get wet if it rains or you step in a puddle! 

They are elasticated at both sides so are super easy to pull on, and they are very comfortable for everyday wear as they have a 3.5" heel with a 1" platform. They are also cleated which is very in at the moment, but also mean they are very grippy so are suitable to wear for when it gets icy!   

I found that they look the best with a monochrome or all black outfit as they are very bright. However, if you're brave, they could be worn with a navy dress possibly, or even lots of bright colours for a super arty feel! Team your all black outfit with some bright red lips and these boots and you're good to go! 

These red boots are on sale at the moment for only £17, and once they are gone, they won't be restocked. Find them on the Boohoo website here! 

These boots also come in Royal Blue, Black and Taupe. (all £30)

     

Also check out the rest of Boohoo's new A/W boots on their site! There are some amazing pieces! I have my eye on the Zina, Sophia and the Ellen boots ;) 

And for next day delivery on these items, use the promo code swift and get them in time for the weekend for only £1.99 rather than £4.99!

Also, check out @emmmma on Depop! She makes the most gorgeous pieces of underwear by hand and they fit perfectly! I love her stuff so much! 

Thanks again to Emily for taking my photos!

OOTD - Vintage Jumper and Leather Skirts

Hello! Sorry I haven't posted in almost a week! I have been really busy with university projects and everything, but I promise that my blog posts will get back to its normal routine of twice a week very soon! 

Here's what I wore today. These photos were taken on the way home from uni by the lovely Emily (follow her on twitter here!) Big thanks to her for taking them for me! 

I bought this jumper the other day after stumbling upon a vintage fair! It is so comfy and warm and is one of those things that are just so ugly that they're cool! (if you know what I mean!) 

The bag I use for university is the Zara City Bag. It has so much storage space and padded sections to carry my iPad/laptops which is very handy! It also has lots of zipped compartments which is good for my purse and phone etc so that they don't get pinched! 

My boots are from Primark and almost every blogger has them! But why not? They're so comfortable and go with literally everything! Only £15 too!

Jumper - Vintage - £5.10

Leather Circle Skirt - H&M - £19.99 (alternatives here)

Boots - Primark - £15

City Bag - Zara - £30 sale (newer version available here)

As usual, I couldn't link the boots as Primark doesn't have a website, but if you just pop down to your local Primark I'm sure you'll find these! Also I couldn't link the vintage jumper as its vintage, so the best way to find a jumper like mine is to just rake around in charity/vintage shops and fairs! 


I'd also like to say a big thank you to StripTeas for sending me their 14 day teatox to try out! I'm currently doing it now so expect a blog post about it in about 2 weeks! Find them on twitter here and visit their site here.

My Everyday Eye Makeup Routine

So recently on a few blog posts, I have been asked to show my everyday eye makeup! So here it is!

The finished look!

 I've made this step-by-step on how I create this look and which products I use. Obviously  you don't need to use the same products as me, using a similar product will give the same effect!

To make this look, I use these products! (I know its a lot.. sorry!) 

Click the product to buy!

 - Bourjois Paris Eyeshadow in 90

- Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Blackest Black

- Max Factor Wild Mega Volume Mascara in Black

- Collection Super Size Fat Lash Mascara in 01 Black

- L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim in Black

- Lancome Le Crayon Kohl in 01 Noir

- Rimmel Soft Kohl Eye Pencil in Pure White

I also use an eyelash curler, an eyeshadow brush, an eyebrow brush and an eyeliner smudger tool thingy!

I start my makeup always, using the Witch Primer (read my review here!) I also do my foundation, concealer and powder before doing my eyes. Lets get started! 

Step 1

Using the L'Oreal Super liner, I create a winged line over my eyelid. Try to keep as close to the lash line as you can, getting wider as you go across the lid. I finish the wing quite low down, past my lower lash line. This makes my eyes look bigger (I think so anyway!)

Step 2

Next, using the Lancome Le Crayon Kohl, line around your lower lash line, only about 2 thirds of the way across. Make sure this matches up with the winged liner on the top. I then use a smudgy tool to slightly blend it so it isn't as dark. This doesn't have to be super neat!

Step 3

I then line my water line with the white eyeliner. I don't put too much on. I like to just lighten the water liner, not completely make it white, so just a quick sweep of eyeliner will do!

Step 4

I then use my white shimmery shadow in the inner corner of my eye, I also slightly blend this along the lower lash line, into the black liner. Again, this doesn't have to be neat. Using a shimmery white (or any other light colour) eyeshadow on the inner corner reflects light into your eyes, making them look bigger and shinier. 

Step 5

 Then I curl my lashes. The eyelash curler I use is from Primark and I think it is the best one I have used, and also the cheapest at only £2! I then put on all 3 of the mascaras I mentioned. I use the Great Lash mascara first, this lengthens my lashes, I then use the Super Size mascara which also lengthens and finally the Wild Mega Volume, which adds volume. If you have an all-in-one lengthening and volumising mascara, you can obviously use that rather than all three of the products I use. 

Step 6

Finally to finish the look, I give my lower lashes a slight cover of mascara, using only the Great Lash mascara. This mascara is perfect for the lower lashes as its really small so you can be really precise with it! 

  And then heres the finished look! I also brush out my brows, but I don't fill them in or anything as I feel like I don't need to. You can if you want to - just please don't do the slug brow!!
