It's 'Bean' A Pleasure Mr.Bean

Instagram is one place I always look for new products and it defiantly hasn't failed me with this one! Mr Bean Body Care* is a 100% organic coffee scrub for your skin which is made from premium ingredients including organic fair trade coffee beans, Himalayan pink rock salt, Demerara sugar, cold pressed coconut and vitamin E oils. It also comes in 3 different variations - coconut, mandarin, and Mr. Bean Man. The one I have been using is Mandarin.

First off, the packaging. It came in a big padded envelope and inside a brown box, so it was defiantly well protected while it was being delivered - thumbs for that! The bag itself is simple and sophisticated. It has everything on it you need to know (ingredients etc) without a loads of text and silly images you don't need - it's straight to the point. Also, black and white is so chic, making it look amazing in your bathroom. I would also like to mention that they are excellent is replying to emails and also delivery, as mine was delivered within a few days. Their website is full of tips on how to use and any other information you might require. In my mind, this makes them a company which actually cares about both their product and their customers.

 

It is very rare that I find a skincare product - let alone a scrub - that I love but this defiantly hits the spot. After just one use I could feel the difference in my skin. It is so smooth and soft - think better than the just saved legs feel, its that good! The added bonus which isn't actually mentioned by Mr.Bean on their website is the glow it leaves behind. With these cold winter months and skin being covered up so much, my skin can get quite dull but this defiantly helped to 'perk' it right up and left it feeling bright and healthy. Also, after using it on my face, I noticed that I needed to use less concealer/foundation and my pores seemed smaller and acne scars a lot less obvious. With spending so much time outside in all weathers and being around horses my hands are always in need of a bit of nourishment. After scrubbing it into my body to exfoliate, it got rid of all the dry skin on my hands too. Result! As I have quite sensitive skin which is prone to breakouts I was wondering if this would effect it, but it honestly didn't - well did but in a good way! My back is defiantly a problem area but after using Mr.Bean, I have had the clearest skin I think I have ever had without it being weighed down with different products.

 

Now, the smell. Absolutely amazing! The coffee mixed with the mandarin is gorgeous - think chocolate orange but coffee instead. It is quite strong at first but you soon get used to it - especially if your a coffee lover. I don't actually like coffee to drink but the smell YUM!
The most common question you ask yourself with a new product is if it is worth the money. I can tell you there is a whole lot of scrubbin' in this little bag, I have used it about 3 times and still have over half a bag left. This is because a little defiantly goes a long way with this body scrub. A lot of companies charge a lot for a miracle product but its not the care here and after trying it I would happily go out and spend £13.95 on this.

Directions for use: get wet, rub a large handful of scrub in circular massage motions focusing on your problem areas. Leave to dry for 5 minutes and finish with a rinse. Simple enough! I have been using this about once a week, as I feel this is best for me but it is gentle enough to use every day of you wish. I know some people might find the mess it makes of putting but doesn't bother me in the slightest - you are in the shower/bath so it is easy to wash away. Mr.Bean certainly wasn't kidding when they say you get 'down and dirty' with it!

I would defiantly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good exfoliator, as it does exactly what it is suppose to do. It is also completely different to anything I have ever seen before and I genuinely look forward to using it.

Liquor N Poker Wish List

I haven't done a wish list post since I first started my blog at the start of the year and I thought it was about time I did another, especially since it is in collaboration with Liquor N Poker. This a high quality, authentic street denim company that have products that can be worn all day everyday and fit in with whatever trend is around at the time.

As soon as I saw these jeans I feel in love! The lilac wash is amazing and quite unusual as I have never seen jeans this colour before. The colour also gives them a distressed feel to them and combined with the ripped knees, these are bang on trend right now! I feel they lend themselves to a rock chick/with-the-band look - which is the kind of look I tend to wear - and with them being skinny jeans, it makes them so easy to style up and down depending on the occasion.

 I would wear the Skinny Rib Crop Tee from Topshop with these jeans. Mainly because it is black, going in with the with-the-band look, and also it means that is not distracting from the colour of the jeans. Also as it is a crop, you can show a little bit of skin without it being too much.

This Warehouse Rib Sleeve Biker Jacket is the perfect cover up for this look! It has the rock chick feel to it, as most leather jackets do, and everyone knows that denim and a black leather jackets is the perfect, easy outfit to wear and style. I love the rib detail on the sleeves and with it being a cropped jacket, it will defiantly show of the jeans.

 

I would team this outfit with my trusty white Converse. These just go with any outfit and seeing as a lot of this outfit is black, they will add a bit of colour without it being too much. Converse also still fit with the theme of this, so they are perfect!

For accessories, I would choose this Silver tone twisted chain body harness from River Island. I would wear this under the T-Shirt, so only the bottom half would be shown, as it is a crop top. It is such a cheeky way to show off a piece of jewellery!


What do you think of the outfit? Something you would wear and do you think it fits in with the rock chick/with-the-band look I was after?
