Teapigs Matcha Green Tea #matchamay | Review

Teapigs Matcha*
This month isn't just May... It's Matcha May. The lovely people at Teapigs gave me the chance to try out their green tea (or 'matcha') during their monthly campaign, and I jumped at the opportunity because I've heard so many fab things about Teapigs!

It may not be the most good looking drink of the year... Yes, it just looks like green water. YUM. Sarcasm aside, Matcha green tea adds a little spring to your step, is high in antioxidants AND it aids fat burning. For just those reasons alone, it's the ultimate cup of tea!

Saying that, I'm very fussy and I've only ever reached out to a good ol' traditional cup of tea. The thought of green tea never thrilled me, but I gave it a go. Needless to say, I couldn't finish it. It's an interesting taste... Some people may say it tastes like steamed vegetables. I'm not going to slate it too much though, as I just have very strong tastebuds and therefore am very picky with flavours.

I have no doubt that, if you can stand the taste of it, then it is a very healthy drink for you to have. Maybe it'll take a few goes before I start getting used to it and will be more willing to drink it. I'll definitely give it a try again soon!

Dress: Primark | Shoes: Vans from Zalando*
Primark is really impressing me with its collection of dresses lately. I picked this one up a few weeks ago and it's so useful to have. A simple monochrome flower pattern with sleeves. Perfect for daytime and I can get away with wearing it for work meetings too. I had to add a bit of colour though, so my new Vans came out to play again!

After an incredibly busy week, I was really looking forward to this weekend, and it hasn't disappointed me in the slightest. I acted like a big kid at Go Kids Go, which is like a huge wacky warehouse. So much fun, but I was absolutely exhausted after an hour of running around and throwing balls at people  in the ball pit. Today, I had a day out in Stourport with Alex, where we had a picnic in the park, played crazy golf and spent money in the arcades! Again, big kids but so much fun.

The only thing I will say is that I missed the Eurovision final and I'm genuinely gutted about that. It was the first year in my entire life that I've missed Eurovision (it's like a tradition of mine)! But it's safe to say that I'm currently catching up on it right now! I'm such a geek...

MAC Please Me Lipstick | Review

MAC Please Me Lipstick - £14
Another favourite in my MAC collection, Please Me is a rosy pink shade that's actually matte. I didn't quite realise this when I bought it but it's still flattering and is very pigmented. It's fab for everyday wear, but it does dry my lips out. I have to make sure my lips are really moisturised before applying, but I could also apply clear lipgloss if I wanted a glossy finish.

Even though it does dry your lips, the colour lasts a good few hours (around 4-5 hours) before reapplication (although occasionally it makes my lips look chapped as it settles on the lines, so I do reapply it), and is smooth to apply.

I don't use this lipstick as much as I would like to, as it depends on how dry my lips are that day. Saying that, I hope this lipstick lasts a long time, as I don't plan to repurchase it (unless my lips become constantly hydrated, which is doubtful)! I do love the matte shade though, so I do recommend if you don't suffer from dry lips like me.
