Green People Review | Cruelty-Free Beauty

I feel as though it's been the longest time since I sat down and wrote a post about an entirely new makeup brand. I say entirely new because until not too long ago I'd never actually tried anything from this brand, so therefore it's entirely new to me. The matter of the fact is they've been around for 20 years!

So who am I talking about?

Green People! For those of you who haven't yet heard of this brand, you're going to want to make a note of them (for reasons that will be touched upon within this post). Most importantly for myself, Green People is actually a completely cruelty-free beauty brand! Some of you may already be aware of the fact that I've gone cruelty-free with my beauty this past year and making that decision meant that I had to give up purchasing some of my favourite products from some of my favourite brands. At the same time it's meant that I'm trying to find new "favourites" in the process, so discovering another cruelty-free company opens up so many more options for someone like myself.

Lizzie Gines x Tobi | Those Nights Out

We're coming towards the end of the Tobi collaboration, and today I'm here with the final of three outfits. If you've had a chance to check out my other two posts (you can find them here and here), then one of the first things you may have noticed could've potentially been just how girly and summery both outfits were.

Well today we're here to switch things up.

It was initially something that slightly worried me, as one of the products that I was asked to pick out from the Tobi website was a bodysuit. Now bodysuits until very recently were always something I avoided; they all seemed to be too skintight or felt incredibly uncomfortable as someone who is a little taller. However, as I was scrolling through the website, I was pleasantly surprised to find a fair few options that wouldn't cling to my skin and make me so undoubtably uncomfortable.

Lizzie Gines x Tobi | It's Disney Day

As I know many of you are frequent Disney World goers like myself, it seemed only fitting to include and outfit that I would deem perfect for a day at one of the Disney theme parks within this collaboration with Tobi.

I tend to head over to Florida within the early Autumn months... when the heat is still at its maximum, so comfortable and loose summer clothes are a must for me. In fact, if I had a choice I'd opt for either a comfy playsuit or floaty shorts for a day in the parks - those of you who watch my vlogs may have noticed! So when I saw these duckegg blue floral shorts on the Tobi site, I just knew I had to have them, and let's just say that I was beaming for joy when I received them; there's no doubt that these beauties will be heading over to Florida with me this year.

Lizzie Gines x Tobi Collaboration | Transitioning Into Spring

As you can most likely tell, something very, very exciting happened recently! I was contacted by the lovely people over at Tobi, an online fashion retailer based in California, in relation to a collab featuring their beautiful clothes. In fact, I've been scouring the Tobi website since circa 2013, but had yet to buy anything due to the higher shipping costs and customs fees. So on another note, I'm quite glad this collab came along, as by just quickly glancing back on their website again, I noticed that they now offer free UK shipping and have already paid VAT and duties for you... basically, they'll be no nasty customs fees waiting for you upon arrival (and I'll be buying more)!

Anyway, back to the collab!

I was given the chance to pick out a selection of clothing from their website; three which would have eventually been sent my way. Well they recently arrived and today we've got the first of three items on show.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Review

Oh, don't you just love receiving new makeup products? Well this month I was fortunate enough to receive two Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliners as part of the latest Influenster VoxBox - I believe anyone is able to sign up for Influenster, so get on it if you're not yet a member and you too could be gifted some incredible beauty products.

I remember coming home one day to find out that a package had been left over our gate. Initially I was confused - I hadn't bought anything, so what on earth could this be? After noticing Lizzie on the address I quickly realised that it must've been something to do with blogging/YouTube (as I'll always use my full name for packages I personally buy), but I was still pretty much clueless as to what it was. Anyway, I opened the package to find a box labelled with Marc Jacobs Beauty - could the smile on my face have been any bigger? I think not. And sat inside were two of the beautiful Gel Eye Crayon Highliners.
