Cosatto Yo2

Good Evening, a bit of a different post. 

As I now have a baby girl and most of my money is now spent on her and her big sister I have decided to do some reviews of baby/children things as well as the usual beauty items!  

The reason I am doing this is because a couple of months ago I found it very frustrating trying to chose a pram. The one I wanted had not been reviewed on any of the major websites or blogs. Whether this was due to it being very new I'm not sure! After much umming and ahhing I bit the bullet and went for it.  I am SO glad I did because I am in love with my purchase!

The pram I was looking at originally was the Cosatto Super Go stroller. I saw this in my local Mothercare and fell in love with the print not the actual style. I then went home and researched... I found that Cosatto had three different style of strollers in this particular print -

The Super Go Stroller

The Supa

The Yo 2 

I ended up going for the Yo 2, because it looked the comfiest, sturdiest and prettiest! 

The main thing I love about this stroller is that it comes with the cosy-toes (which is super cosy) and the rain cover. There are very few buggies/strollers that come with the cosy toes so this was a bonus - especially with the Great British weather!

I ordered the stroller from www.thebabyfarm.co.uk - this was a risk as it was a website I had never heard of but the pram was over £50 cheaper here than most places ie Mothercare, Kiddicare, John Lewis. I am so glad I took this risk as not only was the stroller cheaper but I ordered it at 12pm on Monday and it arrived at 9am Tuesday - Excellent service I highly recommend looking on here for any baby items. When the stroller arrived it felt like Christmas (#mumlife!) so I immediately started opening it, I had it up and ready to go in 20 minutes with a 7 month old grabbing my leg at every given chance! 

Personally (and I know this is a real you'll love it or you'll hate it product) I love this stroller. After putting it up and admiring it for a few minutes I set up the guarantee which as with all Cosatto strollers is 4 years, which I think is excellent! This took a few minutes I emailed my order details to Cosatto and received a reply telling me it was all covered within 5 minutes!

On to the Stroller itself. 

The Cosy toes

The cosy toes is a brilliant quality,  thick, snugly.....and covered in unicorns, what more could you want ? I know how about a little Kangaroo pouch inside to keep little hands warm! It is also reversible it has a summer lining and a winter lining...Fab!

The Hood

The extendable hood is something I really wanted on the new stroller as in the summer it can be a real faff trying to keep the sun off little ones face, so this is great. The inside lining of the hood is baby pink with lots of rainbows which my daughter loves staring at. The hood also has a pocket at the back which I find really handy to keep my phone, purse, and keys etc in as it's really easily accessible. There is also a little viewing window on the back so you can check on baby if they are sleeping.

The Basket

Not much to say on the basket, not too big, not too small. I find people always complain about the size of baskets on prams and strollers, I don't know what they expect! A suitcase size basket?  I find the basket on the Yo 2 of an adequate size.  If I am going anywhere for more than an hour or so I will take my changing bag, so I only use the basket for my eldest daughter's drink bottle and any other junk she decides to bring on our outing!

The Rain Cover

The rain cover is in a little unicorn covered bag, which attaches to the side of the pram...GENIUS, why all Brands don't so this is beyond me. With my old pushchair I always had it shoved under the pram in the basket, which was just annoying, this however is great. Whether it will be as easy to get back in the bag every time is a different story....I'll get back to you on that! The rain cover itself is huge it doesn't just cover baby it covers the entire pram!

The Seat

I love the seat, it looks super comfy, it has a proper ledge for little ones bum, with my old pram it was just like a half moon shape no ledge so my daughter would constantly slip down and look all slouched and uncomfortable. This seat is lovely, along with the harness pads and the head hugger she looks snug as a bug in it. The seat lies flat and is really easy to adjust without waking up little one. It has an adjustable calf support so baby can lie completely flat. The only negative thing I could say if I was being picky is the harness buckle is a bit fiddly but after you've done it a few times you get the hang of it.

Its safe to say she likes it too!

Overall

The stroller is so east to fold, and folds really compact even with the cosy toes on. I love everything about this stroller, it's pretty and practical! I would I highly recommend it to anyone on the hunt for a stroller. It comes in 4 prints and varies from £190 - £259 (including cosytoes). 

St Tropez Gradual Tan in Shower | Review

Hi Guys. I have always found it so difficult to find a self-tan that has no downfalls. They are always either an unnatural colour, streaky or just hard to apply. So, when I saw that St Tropez were bringing out a gradual tan that you apply in the shower....I needed it in my life!

What St Tropez Say:

"Just 3 minutes as part of your daily regime. A convenient way to build a sunkissed, gradual glow, that provides up to 24 hour moisturisation. UK's first ever product that uses water to promote a gradual tan, this unique streak-free formulation activates on clean, wet skin, in three minutes flat. This no nonsense hero allows you to minimise grooming time and enjoy an even and natural looking glow, without the fuss and time traditionally associated with tanning - perfect for those with busy lifestyles, or if you're simply looking for a low maintenance all year round glow."

What I say: 

I don't have a bad word to say about this tan. It is a lovely natural colour, it’s easy to apply and nearly impossible to make it streaky. If you have fair skin and struggle to find a tan that doesn't look ridiculous I highly recommend you try this one. It is really easy to apply. I Just shower as usual washing my hair and body, then I turn the water off and apply the St Tropez tan all over, rubbing in circular motions. It lathers up so you can see where it has been applied, finally I rinse it off. It is currently buy one get one half price at Boots - here.

Garnier Moisture Match | Review

Hi guys! I have almost run out of my YON-KA pamplemousse moisturiser that I received in my December Joliebox. So when I was in Boots on Sunday I was looking for a new moisturiser. I have very dry skin and my all time favourite moisturiser is Clarins Hydraquench but this retails at £34.00 and I cannot justify spending this on a small tub of cream!

So whilst in Boots looking for an affordable moisturiser I saw the Garnier Moisture Match which is their new line of moisturisers which are tailored to every skin type. The range includes 5 moisturisers  one for normal, normal/dry, dry/very dry, dull and combination oily skin types so they pretty much cover every skin type. I picked up the pink one which is for dry to very dry skin. It says on the box that it is "24hour hydration, non greasy, fast absorbing, ultra hydrating."

This particular one comes in a pink tube. Depending on your skin type the packaging colour will be different. It has 50ml of product, the ingredients include camelia oil and shea butter. It has a really nice light floral scent. When I put this on my face it felt lovely, really hydrating and made my skin feel very smooth. 

As it said on the box it did absorb into my skin very quickly which I really liked as it left my skin feeling nice and prepared to start applying my makeup. I hate it when a moisturiser leaves a slight residue on your skin. I find a lot of moisturisers that are tailored for dry skin tend to do this and it just makes your makeup slide off quicker.

So far I really like this moisturiser and it was really cheap (currently £3.99 in Boots). I can’t say what the other ones are like but if you have dry skin and struggle trying to find a decent affordable moisturiser then I definitely recommend going to Boots and getting one of these whilst their on offer!

Mememe Goddess Rocks

Hi Guys, recently I have been trying Mememe's Goddess Rocks. Like all of Mememe's products I think that the packaging is adorable, these bronzing rocks come in a little grey pot which has the Mememe Cherub on top. 

There are two different shades of rocks in the pot, one is a gold colour and the other is more of a rose gold. These rocks are highly pigmented so you only need a very light hand otherwise it can look very over the top, they are also very creamy and easy to apply. I really like the fact that these give a really nice sunkissed glow and aren't too glittery. 

I have been using these as more of a highlighter rather than bronzer. You can also use the 

individual rocks as eye shadow, which I really like as I am obsessed with wearing golds on my eyes at the moment. I am looking forward to using these in the summer when I have a tan as I think that you could use these on quite a natural look to give you a glow.

I bought these rocks when they were on an offer and got the Mememe brush free. these rocks retail at£12.50 but are currently on offer for £10.00! - www.mememecosmetics.co.uk
