Boux Avenue's Backless & Strapless Bra!

boux avenue backless and strapless bra review blog

Had enough of questioning yourself and googling whether or not this 'magic' bra works? I have just the answer you're looking for!
After buying a dress which was completely backless, I had limited options. I either buy boob tape and nipple covers or I buy a backless and strapless bra and hope for the best that it works. As it was a night out in the city, I really wanted something to support me but wouldn't unstick halfway through the night, (how awks would that be!). So I went for both options and bought the bra, boob tape and nipple petals just to be on the safe side.

The bra is already moulded into shape and it has clear, flimsy wings either side. It comes with two sets of replacement tape which you stick on the wings so you can wear the bra twice. You can buy some more replacement tape for the wings so you can make use of your bra again. It surprised me how sticky this tape is, it really works! Once the bra is on, you can't see the clear wings at all.

After a few hours, it had moved itself a little so I had to do a little bit of adjusting. By the end of the night, my bra was starting to unstick. Luckily I bought the boob tape and just stuck that vertically over the wings. I guess this happened because I got all sweaty after dancing all night. Boux Avenue also suggests to not wear moisturiser as the bra won't stick to your skin.

If you need a backless and strapless bra for a few hours, hell yeah go for it! The support from this bra was perfect for my size but if you have a bigger bust, I personally wouldn't purchase this. If you're thinking about buying one of these, I advise you to buy a size smaller than you usually wear, just because it'll fit and stick better. This bra comes in the colours nude and black and you have the option to buy it as a boost or as a normal bra. All items mentioned and pictured are from Boux Avenue.

What I've Bought This Month: October 2015


 Happy Halloween!
I have bought some lovely stuff throughout this month (the majority of it being makeup) and I just had to share what I bought with you!

New look leather boots

I have wanted some decent winter boots for ages. I do own a couple of pairs of boots but they're suede - so they're not waterproof and quite useless when it rains. Anyway, I took a trip to my favourite shop to buy shoes and found these beautiful boots. 
They have a knitted cuff inside which I thought was different and you could tuck it in if you didn't like it with a certain outfit. I find these very easy to walk in and they go with pretty much all of my outfits. £29.99 from New Look.

Boux Avenue set

When I saw that Boux Avenue had a sale on, I just had to go online and check out what was in the sale. I had my eyes peeled on this bra but in a coral colour - unfortunately they didn't have my size. Then I found it in this colour and I just had to get it! It was £26 gone down to £12, how good is that!? 

Whilst I was on there, I thought that I would treat myself and buy matching knickers although they weren't in the sale. They cost me £10.


batiste light and blonde dry shampoo

These have both been my go-to products this month! They are amazing!

Batiste Dry Shampoo- I have been loving this! This is absolutely fabulous for blonde hair. This has been great when my root regrowth has been terrible - it looks like your roots have been refreshed. I will never go back to using normal dry shampoo again. If you have blonde hair you need to go and purchase this and you will see how amazing it really is! £2.66 from Boots.

L'Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray- I have always loved L'Oreal hairspray's, they're so strong. I have incredibly thick and long hair and when I wear my hair in a bun, this is a life saver! My hair stays up for the whole day and this hairspray is also fantastic for volume. P.s this one is limited edition so go and get your hands on it now. £2.60 from Boots.

barry m bold white eyeliner

After a twitter chat about Autumn makeup I decided to go out and buy this. As I'm pale and I like to wear Autumn eyeshadow colours such as reds, purples, pinks etc... the colours make me look like I have been punched in the eyes. A lovely wise blogger advised me to use a white eyeliner pencil to change that. I must admit, it doesn't look so bad now. £3.99 from Boots.

maybelline lash sensational review

As I needed a new mascara, I decided to finally jump on the bandwagon and buy the new Maybelline mascara. Lash Sensational! I was so so excited to try this out and I absolutely love it. When I use other mascaras, throughout the day the inner lashes look very short (like they're not even there) because I don't use eyelash curlers.

This mascara looks good throughout the whole day and makes my lashes look longer and fuller. And, I don't get the look of the 'short inner lashes.' £7.99 from Boots.

l'oreal lip liner and lipstick

 I bought both of these at the same time. I needed a new lipstick so I headed straight to the L'Oreal section of Superdrug and I decided to buy this one. It's a shimmery pink colour - not too dark and not too light. Greige Amoureux - £6.99 from Superdrug.

I then decided to buy a lip liner. I couldn't find the lip liner that matched the lipstick because it wasn't there for some reason. So I headed to Boots and that wasn't in stock either. Anyhow, this lip liner goes well with the lipstick anyway. I sometimes even wear the lip liner on it's own just because I love the colour and it looks just like a matte lipstick. I get so many compliments on this liner. Bois de Rose - £3.99 from Boots.

rimmel london one of a kind lipstick

  I wanted a new red lipstick and I thought that I'd give Rimmel a try. This is a quite dark red colour and I haven't decided yet if it suits me or not. It is quite hard to apply because of how flat it is, it hasn't got the pointed end like most lipsticks. Being honest, I do make such a mess with this lipstick. I'll have to invest in a red lip liner. One of a Kind - £6.99 from Boots.


That is everything that I purchased this month. Do let me know if you go and buy any of these as I would love to read your opinion on them. Have a great Halloween whatever you're doing!

May Wishlist

May wishlist

Hi lovelies!

As there are so many things that I have had my eye on lately, I thought that I would make a wishlist for this month. Ever since I found out that Sam Faiers was bringing out a book I was so excited. I love this woman so much and I cannot wait to get my hands on it! I keep telling myself that I can't buy it yet because I'm still currently reading a book and I'll give my current book up and start reading my new one and I can't do that.

I have also been online clothes shopping and I have found quite a few lovely things that I would like to own myself. I just love the look of kimonos at the minute and with cute florally designs on them. But, I found this gorgeous black one with gorgeous lace detailing at the bottom and on a plus side - it goes with EVERYTHING because it's black!

I also own nothing which is Real Techniques and I need another foundation brush so I thought I'd check out the Real Techniques section in Superdrug and the price of this brush is so good!
I'm very fussy about sunglasses. It also doesn't help when I have a small face either because it narrows my choices down. But, I found these beautiful pair of sunnies from Monsoon. I just love everything about them. The colour also fits in with the spring/summer season.

Let me know your thoughts on any of the items I've mentioned.
